Missed it?
It’s good to pick up the leak. When everyone heard this, they were very happy. Having followed Huo Xi for many years, they already knew the benefits of picking up leaks. All of them picked up the leaks, and their purses were bulging.
"Ma'am, did we really miss it this time? Can these old teas really be sold at the price of good tea?"
Qiu Shuang and the others couldn't believe it, and Vanilla pushed them, "Madam said yes! You still don't believe Madam?"
"It's not that we don't believe in Madam, but this tea is moldy, and it can still be sold at a high price?" Why are we so unbelieving.
Mu Yan also has a tea business in his business, and Xun Wu can be considered an experienced tea merchant. Also very puzzled: "Ma'am, can this really turn waste into treasure? Is this mold still a good thing?"
I couldn't believe it, I took a piece of tea cake in my hand and couldn't stop looking at it. Everyone at the scene read it one by one, but they couldn't see why.
"Someone boiled water and brewed tea soup. I will share with you."
Soon the water was boiled, and the tea soup was brewed, one bowl for each person. "Just smell it." Huo Xi picked it up first, and brought it to his mouth...
Stopped by Vanilla, "Madam, let me taste it first!"
He raised his own tea bowl and put it into his mouth, "Ah, it's hot!"
"You are really, why are you so anxious?"
Huo Xi talked about her while handing her the handkerchief. Even Zhuifeng ran to her side to see if she was burnt, and Vanilla stretched out her tongue to show Zhufeng. Zhui Feng gave her a hard look, reprimanded her for being impatient, but checked carefully, for fear that she might get burned.
"Oh, I didn't see it! Just bully those of us who are not married." Qiushuang Dongxue teased her.
"I just bully you. I can't see you getting married too. Let my wife help you to see each other." After drinking a few sips of cold water, it eased a lot, and Vanilla teased a few girls.
Xun Wu and the others smiled. They also picked up the tea bowls while blowing hot air, while tasting carefully, thinking about the taste of the tea soup.
"Ma'am, there is no musty smell! There is no musty smell!"
"Madam, why is there no musty smell? Aren't the golden particles on it moldy?"
"It's moldy, not bad." Huo Xi nodded.
"Then..." Everyone was puzzled.
Huo Xi smiled, "Didn't Yi Balang tell you that tofu is eaten in some places, and the tofu is specially made to turn white, so you don't eat it until it becomes green tofu?"
"Huh? Could it be that this tea is only drunk after it grows mold?"
A few maids looked over and over with the tea cakes, but couldn't see what happened. Xun Wu was thoughtful, "When the tea leaves are damp, they will grow white hairs, green hairs, black hairs, and even golden particles. Is it different?"
Sniffed it, "This one with golden mold grains seems to be different from other mold grains. It doesn't have a musty smell, but has a faint floral fragrance."
"Is there a floral fragrance?" Vanilla and the others sniffed it over and over again, "Sure enough, when I smell it carefully, there is a faint floral fragrance. What kind of floral fragrance is it?"
"I smell it, I smell it!" Everyone rushed to sniff. They are used to seeing flowers and plants, but they still can't smell the fragrance of flowers?
"Ma'am, what is the fragrance of the flower?" After sniffing for a long time, I couldn't guess it. Qi Qi looked at Huo Xi.
Huo Xi smiled and said, "It's a yellow flower fragrance unique to the southwest and northwest. This kind of tea has been damp, and golden yellow moldy grains grow, so it has this faint yellow flower fragrance."
"Scent of yellow flowers?"
Madam has a big ship to go to the East, South, and West. Maybe it's a kind of tea that people there like to drink. Like people who like to eat edamame, a kind of good tea to drink only after it grows golden mold?
"Yes. It is indeed a special kind of tea." Huo Xi nodded.
"This kind of tea is called Fucha, also known as golden camellia tea. It is said that because of poor preservation during storage, golden yellow particles grow out of it when it is damp, and golden yellow flowers grow slowly like mushrooms. Both When it became moldy, the tea owner was reluctant to throw it away. Later, I found out that this kind of tea with golden flowers was brewed. The tea soup was ruddy in color, smooth and sweet to drink, and had a faint fragrance of yellow flowers, which was actually a hangover cure A good thing to relieve tiredness and fever."
"Really! It's really smooth and sweet to drink, and there's a scent of yellow flowers!"
"I'll drink again!" Everyone rushed to drink, smacking their mouths and thinking carefully.
Chasing the wind like a stone sculpture couldn't help drinking several cups.
Xun Wu also tasted and tasted, and his eyes glowed green: "Madam, we really missed it this time? But why haven't I heard of this kind of Fu tea?"
Maybe Fucha is the name of later generations.
"Maybe it's too rare to hear about it. Not all teas can grow golden flowers. There are many conditions that must be met. We really missed it this time. I heard that the people of the Fanren tribe and the Western Regions specialize in meat, I specifically went to find this kind of tea with golden flower to relieve greasy. Those Fans, in order to relieve the heat of highland barley and avoid obesity, also looked for this kind of golden flower tea to relieve heat. It is said that they also used the golden flower on the tea cake How much to judge the quality of tea."
"Judge good or bad by the number of golden flowers? Does that mean that the more golden flowers grow, the more expensive they are?"
Huo Xi nodded.
"Huh? Shouldn't it be kept damp?"
"This, we have to study it carefully. How to make golden camellia tea produce more golden flowers is a technique. If this one is not done well, it will really become moldy tea. It's not a big deal to spend two thousand taels of silver, but it's useless. It’s our effort to transport it all the way back.”
"Ma'am, haven't you tried?" Xun Wu asked.
Huo Xi shook his head, "I've only heard of this kind of golden camellia tea. I remember a little about how to make it produce golden flowers, but I haven't done it in detail. You need to find some old tea farmers who know how to do it and are loyal. Dude in charge, let them study it."
Xun Wu is eager to try: "Yes, I will find a proper and hidden place when I go back, and find someone to study it!"
"Well, this matter needs to be kept secret, so don't let it leak. Don't make people laugh if you fail to catch it."
"yes."
"We bought a lot of tea in this batch, you should take some to try with others first, and try boldly. The rest must be properly preserved. I will sell it after I figure out how to sell it and where to sell it."
"Subordinates remember."
"Ma'am, this tea is so good, can we keep some for drinking?"
Huo Xi just laughed: "When did my wife run out of food for you? Stay, you can keep as much as you want."
"Thank you Madam! Just say Madam is generous."
Xun Wu also kept some for himself, and planned to study it carefully first.
If it is really as Madam said, it can produce more golden flowers, and it is an excellent tea, then it will definitely make a lot of money, and I really missed it. Turn around and order people to take care of this batch of tea carefully, and stay with them day and night.
The next day is the fifth day of every month, when people of all ethnic groups in Tea Horse City trade with each other.
Just at the inn, Huo Xi and the others heard all kinds of sounds of people coming and going on the street outside, mixed with various languages, which made people not feel noisy, but rather interesting.
"Go, let's take a look too."
Outside the inn, the people who were staring at Huo Xi saw her coming out, and ordered people to notify the others, while following her closely.
