Chapter 957 Tea Biscuits

Just as Shen Xuening expected, Zhou Fu made up his mind to take good care of the tea garden.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Shen Xue Ning made a special trip to the tea garden.

When Zhou Fu learned that Shen Xue Ning was coming, he received her directly at the entrance of the tea garden: "Mr. Shen."

Shen Xue Ning nodded to Zhou Fu: "Grandpa, where is the water source for the tea garden? Take me to see it."

"Okay." Zhou Fu took Shen Xue Ning through the tea garden and walked towards the direction of the mountain. After walking out of the tea garden and entering the mountain, Shen Xue Ning heard the sound of gurgling water.

Zhou Fu pointed to the small river in front and said, "This is the water source of the tea garden. The water flows from that tall mountain, passes by the tea garden, turns a corner and flows into other mountains, nourishing the nearby mountains."

Shen Xue Ning looked up and could easily see the direction of the stream: "Has the water in this stream ever dried up?"

Zhou Fu said: "It has never dried up. The water level is the same all year round. It is inexhaustible."

Shen Xuening nodded: "This river is not bad."

Zhou Fu also praised: "The water of this river is not only inexhaustible all year round, but also clear and of good quality, which is very suitable for irrigating tea gardens."

Shen Xuening asked: "Are there any fish in the creek?"

Zhou Fu nodded: "Yes, the fish in the creek are very delicious, but they are wild after all, so there are very few of them. It's about once a year to catch them."

Shen Xue Ning was silent for a while and then asked: "What if I keep some in there?"

Zhou Fu paused and said, "Sure, it's just raising fish, and it won't affect irrigation."

Shen Xue Ning kept this matter in mind. Raising fish in this small river was simple and complicated at the same time. She would do it after she was done with this busy period.

There is no problem with the water source, so Shen Xue Ning has no burden about renting the tea garden. From now on, she can let Zhou Fu manage the tea garden in the same way as in previous years.

No matter how you do business, you need tea. Now there is no tea, so you can’t do anything you want to do.

Before leaving, Shen Xue Ning took advantage of Zhou Fu's inattention and threw a small piece of spirit stone into the water.

If you irrigate the tea garden with water containing spiritual energy, the tea garden will definitely grow better.

What Shen Xue Ning did not expect was that the spirit stone fell into the stream and attracted many wild fish. There were enough fish without her having to release any fish fry.

Shen Xue Ning asked: "Grandpa, will those people who worked for you last year come again this year?"

Zhou Fu nodded: "Yes."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Then tell them to bring their ID cards and bank cards to my HR department to process their employment, otherwise we won't be able to pay them."

Zhou Fu was surprised: "Will they be like regular workers in the future?"

Shen Xue Ning nodded: "Yes, I will also buy five insurances and one fund for them. In the future, all wages will be paid into bank cards. I cannot give out cash on my side, otherwise it will be a violation and I will be fined."

Zhou Fu happily responded, "Okay, okay, I'll go talk to them later, and then we can come together to handle it."

After explaining everything, Shen Xue Ning went back.

Zhou Fu is in charge of things here, there's nothing to worry about.

……

Factory office area.

When Cao Wenyu saw Shen Xuening coming back, he immediately came forward and said, "Boss Shen, Zhang Guocai, the person in charge of the egg yolk crisp production line, is here and is waiting for you in the small conference room."

"I understand." Shen Xue Ning walked towards the small meeting room.

There is heating in the office area, so it’s warm wherever you go, and everyone likes to stay indoors.

Zhang Guocai sat on the chair nervously. He didn't know why Shen Xue Ning suddenly called him over. Normally, he was busy on the egg yolk pastry production line and would only come over in special circumstances.

Shen Xue Ning pushed the door and walked into the office: "Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Guocai stood up immediately: "Mr. Shen."

Shen Xuening nodded: "Sit down."

Zhang Guocai sat down on the chair and asked nervously, "Boss Shen, what's the matter with you calling me over?"

"Yes." Shen Xue Ning answered her, and then asked, "Besides egg yolk pastry, how much do you know about other pastries?"

Zhang Guocai breathed a sigh of relief: "Is Mr. Shen planning to increase the variety of pastries?"

"Yes." Shen Xue Ning said directly, "I have contracted a tea garden, and I plan to produce some tea-based cakes. What do you think?"

Zhang Guocai was surprised. He thought Shen Xuening would expand the production line, but he didn't expect it to expand in this direction: "I have seen tea cakes on the Internet, but I haven't studied them seriously."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Then I will assign you a task. You have to research at least ten kinds of tea cakes for me within a month. Is that okay?"

Zhang Guocai felt that the task was a bit heavy: "Boss Shen, I'm afraid it can't be completed."

Shen Xue Ning said: "You try first to see if you can complete what we both said, but I will also try and study it together."

Zhang Guocai then responded: "Yes, Mr. Shen."

Shen Xue Ning changed the subject: "I have already had the raw materials for making egg yolk crisps shipped over. Have they been put into storage?"

Zhang Guocai said: "It has been put into storage. We spent a whole day cleaning yesterday, and we can resume production today."

Shen Xuening reminded: "Be sure to pay attention to hygiene during delivery."

Zhang Guocai waited solemnly: "I understand."

……

In the evening, Shen Xue Ning finished her work and went to the kitchen, ready to study tea-related pastries herself.

Qin Zizhou was curious and watched from the side.

Shen Yingying went to school to take extra classes. After all, it was the second half of senior year, and time was money.

She went to school. Qin Yaoyao felt bored, so she went back to City A. The three siblings of the Yin family were forcibly sent back to City A by their aunt and uncle. They were asked to go back and see if they could adapt to the new school. If not, they should go to study abroad.

When the three siblings of the Yin family heard this, they immediately rushed back to adapt to the environment.

My aunt and uncle moved to a new place, a three-bedroom apartment, and used the B&B they originally lived in to continue their business.

It just so happens that the two of them are planning to start a company here, and it would be better to have a permanent residence of their own.

Tao Yun and Shen Weifeng are still at home, but they help with the work every day and are even busier than Shen Xue Ning. They will go to school after the New Year and have just returned from working outside.

Seeing the light on in the kitchen, they walked towards it together.

Shen Wenxu just came down from upstairs, caught up with the two of them, and walked towards the kitchen together.

Shen Xuening was standing next to the kitchen counter with a tablet in front of her, staring at the screen intently.

Qin Zizhou looked at the "Black Tea Biscuits" on the screen and asked, "Are you going to make biscuits based on this?"

Shen Xue Ning nodded: "What do you think?"

Qin Zizhou encouraged: "I don't know, but you can try it."

Shen Xue Ning thought and said, "I thought so too. No matter if it succeeds or not, let's try it first."

Shen Wenxu and a few others gathered around and cheered Shen Xuening up.

Shen Xue Ning looked at the few people and said, "Then let's give it a try."

Tao Yun raised her hand: "Cousin, I'll help you."

Shen Wenxu raised his hand and said, "Sister, I can help you, too. Just tell me what you want me to do."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Not yet, you guys just watch from the side."

"Yeah." Several people stood aside obediently and watched Shen Xue Ning operate.

Shen Xue Ning plans to make "black tea biscuits" into Phoenix Dancong tea flavored biscuits. She will make them first, and if possible, then give them a name.

He got more than ten kilograms of Phoenix Dancong from Zhou Fu, and brought it back specifically to try making tea-related pastries. It would be best if he could make a series to elevate the quality of the pastries.

How to make black tea biscuits:

1. After the butter is softened at room temperature, add granulated sugar and powdered sugar, mix well and beat with a whisk (about 1 minute).

2. After the butter is whipped into feathery consistency, sift the low-gluten flour through a flour sieve and add it into the whipped butter and mix slightly.

3. After soaking the Phoenix Dancong tea bag in hot water, take out the tea bag, tear it open, squeeze out the water from the tea leaves and add it to the butter.

4. Use your hands to slowly mix the flour, butter and tea leaves, and shape the dough into a rectangular shape.

5. Wrap the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.

6. Take out the frozen dough and cut it into 0.3CM slices.

7. Place a layer of tin foil on the baking tray and evenly arrange the cookies, leaving a little space between them (the baked cookies will expand).

8. After preheating the oven to 180 degrees, put the cookies in the middle layer and bake for 15 minutes.

The instructions were written in great detail step by step. Shen Xue Ning followed them step by step and finally made the tea biscuits successfully.

Shen Wenxu sniffed the air and said without exaggeration: "It must have been successful. The whole room is filled with the aroma of tea and wheat."

Others expressed their agreement with Shen Wenxu, saying that regardless of the taste, the aroma was definitely good enough.

Shen Xue Ning said: "I'll take out the cookies and try them." As she spoke, she opened the oven, and a stronger aroma of tea and roasted wheat came over, making her swallow her saliva.

Pull out the baking tray and put it on the kitchen counter: "Try them all and tell me how they taste later."

Everyone went to get some cookies to eat, and Shen Xue Ning was the last one to take one.

The biscuit is the size of a palm. It is not shaped, just round and a little irregular. It is light green with green dots formed by tea powder. It looks okay.

Shen Xue Ning took a small bite: the biscuit had a crispy texture, and the aroma of Fenghuang Dancong was full in the mouth. The unique fragrance of the biscuit spread, bringing a refreshing feeling. It was not like other biscuits, which felt greasy and made people sick of it after eating a little.

Qin Zizhou commented: "It's crispy and refreshing. The more you chew, the more delicious it tastes. The more you eat, the more you want to eat. You can't forget it."

Tao Yun said: "It's crispy, fragrant, and not greasy at all."

Shen Wenxu said: "This is the most delicious cookie I have ever eaten, no doubt about it."

Shen Weifeng said: "Although I don't eat cookies often, this one definitely attracts me. After eating it, I feel my whole body is filled with fragrance."

Shen Xue Ning took a quick look and said, "It seems that my cookies are very successful."

Qin Zizhou said: "It will be even better after the styling is done."

Shen Xue Ning said: "First, finish making the tea cakes of various flavors, and then shape and name them. These are all trivial matters."

Qin Zizhou said: "I'll listen to you."

Several people ate up all the first batch of cookies.

Shen Xue Ning baked all the remaining dough into cookies and gave them to others to try tomorrow to see if they could accept them.
