The two sat at the stone table and were talking. Xiao Ruo continued to pick up mulberries and Xiao Xun wiped her hands every once in a while.
The breeze was smooth and warm. After a while, Xiao Ruo yawned for the whole day. After a busy night, she was really sleepy at this moment. She patted Xiao Xun's shoulder and asked him to sleep for a while. It was also very hard for a puppy to watch the night.
The two went back to their room to sleep separately, and then they slept until the evening.
Xiao Ruo opened her eyes again and there was already a setting sun on the ground, and the sunset was covered with sunset. She was sleeping in a daze and couldn't tell where she was. She woke up halfway through her eyes and then remembered her body lying softly. He was unwilling to move.
Xiaoxun called her to get up for dinner, and she lazily got up from the bed.
Dinner consists of fried river shrimp, spinach and mushroom soup, vegetarian fried eggplant and cold cucumber, and each person has a bowl of milk tofu soup.
Old Man Cen prepared two herbal tea recipes for Xiao Ruo to show them. The two discussed on two pieces of paper, and the meal in front of him did not move at all.
Xiaoxun peeled a plate of shrimp meat, and gave Xiaoniao and Xiaozhao some to each of them for food. Then he pushed the plate with shrimp meat to the hot discussions and knocked on the wooden table with his fingers. , and a dong dong reminder sound was made.
Old Man Cen and Xiao Ruo immediately stopped talking, picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Xiao Xun's stern face was quite intimidating.
After dinner, two little boys helped Brother Ah Xun clean up the dishes, and Old Man Cen and Xiao Ruo continued to discuss the prescription.
The two prescriptions for herbal tea drinks are tea that clears heat and relieves fire and beauty and beauty-beautifying tea.
The tea of clearing heat and purifying fire is made of bamboo leaves, raw earth, reed roots, and thirst, which can relieve restlessness and quench thirst. It has certain therapeutic effects on body heat and sweating, mouth and tongue sores, sores in the throat and sores caused by heat and fluid injury or qi and yin injury. .
The idea of beauty and beauty tea was proposed by Xiao Ruo. Women are born with beauty. It can be seen from the very good sales of Angelica dahurica powder. As long as it can be beautiful and beauty, women are quite willing to spend money. Old Man Cen thinks she What he said makes sense, and he also wrote a six-white tea recipe mainly consisting of white striata, white peony, white aconite, white aconite, and white zombie.
As Xiao Ruo expected, these two herbal tea drinks were very popular as soon as they were launched in Tzu Chi Hall.
Especially Liubai Tea, in order to improve the taste, licorice is added to the tea and seasoned. It is refreshing and sweet aftertaste, and it can also whiten and rejuvenate the skin. The price of a cup of 20 yuan cannot stop the women in Shangxi Town from competing. Passionate about buying.
Thirty kilograms of ice cubes are only enough to make a hundred cups of herbal tea drinks, and they are usually sold out before noon.
One hundred cups are two thousand yuan. If you take away other costs such as medicinal materials, manpower and other costs, you will also have a profit of about 1,500 yuan. Moreover, saltpeter can be extracted and reset and reused. It may take three to five days for others to dry the saltpeter solution. , for Xiao Ruo, it doesn't take a single hour.
Xiao Ruo and Old Man Cen discussed launching a limited edition of 150 cups a day. One hundred of them are still made of crushed smoothies, each cup is 20 cents, and they are sold on a first come first served basis. Whether they can be bought depends on their ability. .
In addition, another 50 cups are released every afternoon, using small ice cubes, which are cooler and longer, and the price is set at 50 cents per cup. These 50 cups can be reserved in advance and will be available on time before they are available. If you order five cups at one time, please make sure to buy them at the same time. The above can also be delivered to the door within the town.
Ice is expensive, especially this year.
As the richest family in Shangxi Town and even in the villages, the Zhang Mansion has a deep house and a large courtyard, with a hundred acres of fertile land, and even the number of silver in his hand is too high. It is also thicker than the collection of books in the scholarly families.
No matter how rich you have, you can't buy ice this year.
Mrs. Zhang is very bitter in summer. She starts to eat in early June every year. She can only barely use some of the rice porridge with ice cubes. After spending a summer, she can lose several times. Last year, she heard that barbarians often harassed her in the northern trade routes.
, It may affect the transportation of ice in the coming year. The Zhang family made early preparations for this and built a cellar dozens of feet deep to store ice. However, Shangxi Town is in the south, and the ice stored in the weather has been warming up and has been completely transformed into water.
, there is no trace of ice.
It was just early summer, and Mrs. Zhang had lost several pounds. She could only sip some plums with a sluggish and hardship every day, hoping to get a good appetite.
Mrs. Zhang's wet nurse fanned her and sent some cool breeze. The wet nurse felt very distressed when she saw her lady lose weight, but Ku Xia is not a disease and there is no good prescription to treat her, so she can only do it in a hurry.
She was so anxious that she was irritated. The maid outside was not worried. She heard a sound, and then the sound of porcelain shattering came.
When I opened the door, I saw that two maids were walking in a hurry. I didn't notice someone around the corner. I bumped into my arms and the tea bowl in my hand fell to the ground and broke cleanly.
"Why are you so frivolous? My wife dares to fall down her ginseng tea. I think you have no lesson in your little hoof!" The wet nurse frowned her eyebrows and scolded angrily.
The two maids who collided immediately knelt on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the ground, and their bodies trembled slightly.
"Wuhan, let them come in and talk." Mrs. Zhang ordered, holding her forehead. She was having a headache and couldn't hear too loudly.
The maids did not dare to stand up and knelt on their knees and entered Mrs. Zhang's room.
Mrs. Zhang is a rich lady. She has been spoiled since she was a child. She was loved by her parents before she got married. She also has an official brother who is spoiled. She has a bit of arrogance and is not strict with her servants on weekdays, but she can't be
Let the mistakes be made without punishment.
The two maids who made the mistake were called Ruyi and Luzhu, both of whom were born and slaves.
Ruyi knelt down and crawled in front of Mrs. Zhang, trembling. It was the ginseng tea cup she held and it was smashed.
"Madam, I... I was careless..." She was already timid and was scolded by her husband's wet nurse. She was so scared that she couldn't speak smoothly. She was panicked and didn't know what to do.
The tall and thin one is Lu Zhu. She is brave and extroverted by nature. She is also the cousin of the wife's wet nurse. She is usually the central figure among the maids of the Zhang family and is like sisters for other maids. Seeing that Ruyi's sister was so scared, she spoke up:
"Madam, Ruyi has always been cautious and careful. She was worried about her husband just now and wanted her husband to go to ginseng tea quickly, so she came in a hurry."
"Damn girl wants you to talk too much!" The wet nurse pretended to knock Luzhu's forehead with a fan. She was afraid that the lady would be unhappy with her cousin's words, and the two of them would be punished together.
Mrs. Zhang had a headache now and had no appetite at all. She didn't care whether she was delivered or not. She raised her hand and waved her powerlessly, indicating that she would not pursue the matter.
Luzhu let out a gentle chuckling, covered her forehead, looked at her cousin who made her wink and let her go, and then looked at Mrs. Zhang, who was pale and thin, and dared to bow to her, saying, "Mrs. I feared the heat and the sun was getting worse.
Luzhu was thin and felt so distressed. Luzhu heard that someone was selling herbal tea drinks in the town today. I heard that there was crushed ice in the tea drinks, which was very cool."
"Nothing! Street vendors dare to tell their wife about things! Who knows what those tea and water are made of? You can bear the burden if they are eaten up by the time?" The wet nurse raised her hand and wanted to use a fan to knock on the green beads.
.
"It's not a street vendor! It's Tzu Chi Hall selling it!" Luzhu quickly covered her forehead. She pretended to knock her out of no pain. This time she was really good. She would have to be red and swollen for a few days if she didn't break the skin when knocking.
"Tzu Chi Hall?" Mrs. Zhang became a little interested when she heard these three words. "Are you talking about Dr. Cen's Tzu Chi Hall in the town?"
"It's right. Mrs. Ku Xia hasn't gone out for a while. Tzu Chi Tang has launched two herbal tea drinks, one for promoting salivation and relieving heat, and the other for beauty and beauty. They have broken smoothies, which makes them cool and refreshing, especially
That beauty six white tea is said to be able to remove yellow spots, and drinking it for a long time can make your skin fair and tender!”
"Oh? Is that true?" Mrs. Zhang was completely excited at this moment. She still remembered that more than a month ago, it was the Tzu Chi Tang who cured her son's illness. She was deeply impressed by Dr. Cen's magical doctor's skill.
"Wuhan, go and ask if it's the same as Luzhu said, there's really a herbal tea drink with ice?"
