Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 139 Cold Brew Tea

That kind of incomplete tea can't be brewed directly, otherwise, it can only be sold to customers at a low price of one penny per bowl, and she will definitely lose a lot of money.However, grinding it into tea powder and using it to make cakes and other snacks will inevitably increase the cost, and further price increases may cause dissatisfaction among customers.

Seeing Ye Xing bringing back a bunch of such useless tea in a daze, Wang felt very worried. She used to think that farming was hard, and after paying taxes all year round, it might not be enough for her family to eat for a year. She never expected There are so many devious ways to ask for money to open a shop and a merchant.

"This kind of tea is clearly used by the officials to ask us for money, otherwise why wouldn't they drink it?" Da Niu felt very angry. The shop was doing well, but the government wanted to buy it. Now everyone Everyone has to worry about this broken tea.If you just throw it away and ignore it, everyone will feel distressed, but when she thinks of a way, she will feel a headache.

The big girl grabbed her hair and squatted on the ground angrily. When she saw that Ye Tao had grabbed a handful of tea leaves and threw them into the cup, she pretended to imitate how grown-ups drink tea, took a sip of cold water and said, "Well, good tea!"

"Oh my little aunt, grandma, you can't move this, it's thirty cents a catty!" The big girl hurried over and took the tea bag away from Ye Tao, "If you want to play tricks, I'll pick some wild tea leaves for you in the countryside later. Play, that one doesn’t need money to play with you.”

"It's also a rotten leaf that doesn't cost money, it's not tea." Ye Tao hurriedly held up the teacup for everyone to see. She didn't understand why the big girl would say that she was playing with the rotten leaf, so she felt aggrieved and hoped that others could help her say.

Ye Xing looked at the broken tea leaves floating in the cool white tea and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She took the teacup in Ye Tao's hand and muttered to herself: "Yes, cold brewed tea is also tea, why should I be bound by the original thing? After saying that, Ye Xing took a bag of tea into the kitchen, and everyone looked at each other, but Wang sighed and touched Ye Tao's head and said, "Xiao Taozi gave sister a new idea this time." Ye Tao didn't expect To be praised in this way, he couldn't help laughing foolishly.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Ye Xing took out several muslin bags used to hold aiyu seeds, filled them with a little dried lemon slices, peach grains, roses, and jasmine, and then filled the bags with crushed tea leaves , Soak them in cool boiled water with different amounts of water.After two hours, Ye Xing saw that most of the cool white leaves in the bowl had turned the color of light green tea soup, and then continued to cover them and put them in the ice room to refrigerate for a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Xing took out the cold-brewed tea, because the shop was about to close, Ye Xing simply asked everyone to taste the tea she handed to them blindfolded.Wang Shi and the others were very puzzled when they saw that they still had to cover their eyes this time, but Ye Xing always had her reasons for doing things, and they didn't talk too much and just followed what Ye Xing said.

Ye Xing first took out the tea she had soaked in hot water and let it cool down for them to taste. After drinking, Ye Xing said: "You guys remember the taste now, and I will let you take a sip of water before drinking another cup, and tell me after drinking flavor and which one do you prefer."

Wang and the others nodded, and after drinking the cold brewed tea, the eldest girl said first, "I like the second one. The second one is not only colder, but also fresh and refreshing, not as astringent as the first one."

Chunni also nodded, and when the big girl finished talking for a while, she also opened her mouth and said: "The second cup tastes sweeter and has a more delicate taste. It seems that even the scent of roses is much more melodious."

Ye Xing changed several other flavors. As a result, in most cases, everyone’s acceptance of cold-brew tea was very good. Ye Xing carefully recorded the taste and water content of the cold-brew tea that received positive reviews.After everyone took off the blindfold, I showed them the tea bags: "In the future, our shop will not only make ice powder, but also cold brewed tea. In the scorching summer, everyone always wants to drink something cool. Use more fruits and scented tea to match , the tea made can be compared with other sour plum drinks, which are the best cold drinks in summer.”

Wang has lived for so many years and has never heard of brewing tea with cold water, but the sweet taste of the tea she drank just now is still in her mouth, and she has to believe in this cold brewed tea.But the three helpers in the shop didn't have this idea. They didn't drink much tea before, and they were even more impressed by Ye Xing's ability when they came to the shop. When they heard Ye Xing's new idea, they cheered and kept asking Ye Xing how to make it. When and how much it will cost.

Ye Xing tentatively selected three types of peach cold-extract tea, jasmine cold-extract tea and rose cold-extract tea, because adding other ingredients in the tea bag, Ye Xing can raise the price a bit, and only has a shelf life of two or three hours It can also be used as a major selling point.Depending on the taste and the short shelf life of Apricot leaves, the price of each cup of tea ranges from [-] to [-] yuan, which is comparable to her milk tea.

The next day when Ye Xing’s signboard came out, everyone found that after ice powder, Ye Xing could make iced tea to relieve the heat for everyone. Regular customers ordered some snacks they liked, and then bought a cup of this cold brew Tea tasting.

Everyone found that the tea soup of this cold-brewed tea is cool and not as deep as hot brewing, and the fragrance is not so strong, but the taste of sweet fragrance is faintly exuded when you get close to taste it.The mouth is full of the fragrance of tea and the sweetness of roses, and the refreshment of tea soup is much more refreshing than sweating after drinking a large cup of hot tea.Everyone thought that this was all the advantages of cold brewed tea, but many people drank a cup after dinner at night and found that they had a good night's sleep, unlike hot tea that could not fall asleep after drinking.

"Oh, this is really good. I drank a cup of refreshment at night and thought I would wake up until dawn. Who knew that it would not affect my sleep at all." Many guests praised the cold brewed tea because of this. Those who are still drinking iced drinks recommend cold brewed tea, "If you want me to tell you, don't drink that iced drink. Some shops make it sweet. It's better to drink a cup of rose cold brewed tea. If you like it, buy iced tea. Powder!"

Many shopkeepers also specially went to Ye Xing's shop to buy this cold brewed tea. When they smelled the smell, they thought of the green tea and white tea sold to Ye Xing by the government.Some shopkeepers admired Ye Xing for being able to sell those broken tea leaves at a high price, no wonder her shop is doing so well.And the other part was also angry, they threw the cold brewed tea they bought on the table, the tea soup spilled all over the table and wet their sleeves, they couldn't help being even more annoyed at Ye Xing: "This stinky girl is really good at cheating and cheating, It’s unreasonable for those broken tea leaves to sell for such a high price after changing their appearance, and even robbed our shop of business!”

Even Wan's House has guests who bring cold-brewed tea to drink while watching a play. Sitting in the upstairs box, Wan can hear people boasting that the cold-brewed tea at Ye Niangzi's restaurant is delicious from time to time. She looks at it coldly. Wan Guanshi asked: "Is this the good way you told me to deal with that girl?"
