If you ask, what is Xue Yu most interested in?

It’s not wealth, power, nor beauty, but the power of ghosts and gods!

Because of the power of ghosts and gods, it may help a lost child find his way home!

When Xue Yu heard that there was a haunted house nearby, he immediately became energetic. Under Xiao Yueyue's leadership, he ran over to check it out as soon as possible!

The haunted house is located more than 20 miles south of Baodezhou City. It is a four-level courtyard with a large house with hundreds of houses, built with bluestone walls, gray tiles covered with roofs, hollow flower ridges, flying eaves and corners. The construction is very particular.

Next to it is a hill, with no vegetation on it, just bare stones, only a small number of red willow trees growing in the ravine, a shrub with tenacious vitality!

There was originally a wealthy businessman living here, but he was not just a rich man, but a kind of rich man with a pile of gold and jade, and was very famous in Pau Dezhou!

Later, for some reason, the wealthy businessman and his sons suffered from a strange disease. First, their skin was red and swollen, painful and itchy, and then they had difficulty breathing and coughed up blood. They hired countless famous doctors and took countless precious medicinal herbs, but they could not be cured. Finally, they died in pain.

Some people say that the wealthy businessman and his sons did not die of illness, but were plagued by evil spirits, and there were unclean things in this house.

Some people also say that the wealth here is too strong and most people cannot suppress it at all. Only those who have a great fortune can live here!

In short, rumors were everywhere, and there were all kinds of people saying anything. The wives, concubines and daughters of wealthy businessmen were also panicked. After dividing up the property, they went their separate ways. The house was entrusted to the Yashang Store for sale. However, the reputation of the "haunted house" was too great. More than ten years have passed, but no one dared to buy this house.

Xiao Yueyue wandered around the city for several days, but couldn't find a suitable house. There was no way, so he had the idea of ​​this haunted house. Although it had been abandoned for more than ten years, the main building of the house was intact, the internal area was large enough, and the number of houses was large. The key was that the price was cheap, only a hundred taels of silver was less than one percent of the normal price!

Besides, my new employer looks like he is not an ordinary person, and may be able to save the Feng Shui here. There is a saying that goes: Gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people!

...

"The boss, this house is famous for its great reputation. It is best to find a monk or a Taoist priest to recite scriptures, to save it well, and then go in!"

"What are you afraid of? I'll go in and take a look first. You're waiting outside!"

"Be careful, what should I do if there are really unclean things inside?"

"Haha, I'm afraid there isn't!"

The house is very desolate, with weeds and thorns everywhere, and there is no popularity at all, and it looks gloomy and terrifying!

Xue Yu asked everyone to stay outside, and went in alone, searching one by one in the room, and the yin energy there was heavy, so he walked there. After searching around, he found only a few pheasants and rabbits, and there was nothing left!

It’s really disappointing that there are no ghosts in the haunted house!

However, in addition to disappointment, Xue Yu had another question: The original owner of this house must have been very rich during his lifetime. Since that is the case, why didn’t he buy a luxury house in the city?

Or find a place with beautiful mountains and beautiful scenery to build a house?

Instead, I chose such a remote location and a very ordinary environment?

There must be a cause for abnormal things. If it is not for people, or if there is a problem in this place, there must be a big secret hidden in the house or near the house?

As for the secret, Xue Yu has no time to pursue the answer now, so let’s talk about it later. As for this house, Xue Yu is still very satisfied and immediately asked Xiao Yueyue to buy it.

The rest was simple. We all started together and spent a whole day cleaning the weeds in the yard, cleaning out the houses, and buying bedding, furniture, and some daily necessities, and officially moved them in!

Another bricklayer was invited, and twenty stoves, charcoal, cages, gauzes, tea, and tool parts were built in the yard... and then under the command of Xue Yu, the construction began!

The mad grandfather and the Tartar grandfather led the old military households to ignite the stove, then wrapped the tea in fine linen cloth, and steamed it in a large cage, so that the semi-fermented tea leaves can further ferment at high temperatures and become soft at the same time!

Xue Yu led his friends to assemble the sent parts, and three strange things appeared - the screw compressor!

Compared with the automatic compressors in later generations, this manual spiral compressor is still very backward. It requires four people to operate together, one person picks up and drops the tea leaves, one person holds the box, one person takes the spiral lift, one person rakes the tea leaves, and then four people insert the wooden stick into the cloud disk hole, rotate it as much as possible, and press the tea leaves tightly. It is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has low efficiency!

However, in this era, it is one of the most advanced machinery!

After the tea leaves are steamed, it is put into a compressor for extrusion. The originally loose tea leaves immediately become tea bricks half a foot long, three inches wide, and one inch thick, weighing about one pound per pound!

Next, put the tea bricks clean, ventilate, and expose them to the sun with sunlight. After the water evaporates, the weight will drop to about one pound. Xue Yu has calculated this in detail and will not deviate.

God also helped me and gave me several sunny days. Under the abundant sunlight, the first batch of tea bricks quickly dried up. They were dark in color, hard in texture, and emitted a special fragrance!

Next, I will taste this kind of tea brick, success or failure, and this will be achieved!

...

Xue Yu took a tea brick, mashed it in an iron pot, added hot water, and simmered it over a slow heat, adding some sugar, salt, butter and fresh milk as condiments!

Soon, a large pot of tea soup with a color like amber and mellow taste was cooked. Xue Yu put two bowls of it and invited Grandpa Tartar and Eunuch Lu to taste it first!

"Good tea, I have lived for most of my life and have never drunk such good tea. If I could drink a few bowls every day, it would be a life of a god!"

Grandpa Tartar took a sip first, his eyes lit up instantly, he stretched out his thumbs to praise him, then drank it all in one go, and then served a large bowl himself, and started drinking happily.

The more I drink, the more addicted I become. My belly is bulging, but I still refuse to put down the tea bowl, which is as if I have wrapped a pot of tea soup!

Seeing this, Eunuch Lu also tried to taste it, but his brows frowned. After enduring it, he couldn't help it. He sprayed it all out... "Ahem, what the hell is this? It's greasy, salty and fishy, ​​it tastes the same as the water for washing pots. The family has never drunk such a bad tea!"

The tea cooked in the same pot was asked to drink two people, but the evaluation was completely opposite. Why is this?

"Ha ha!"

On the other side, Xue Yu laughed to the sky, smiling proudly. The two of them reacted completely differently, proving that their tea bricks were successfully developed and very successful!

Compared with brewed tea leaves, this kind of tea brick made with seasoning has a stronger taste, better effect of degrading greasy and promoting digestion. It is very suitable for people who have long-term foods for meat and milk!

Grandpa Tartar is a Mongolian, so he naturally likes this kind of tea brick.

Eunuch Lu is a Han native and came from the palace. He is used to drinking all kinds of famous teas, so he is definitely not used to such rough tea bricks.

In addition, tea bricks have two major advantages, which are destined to make it a favorite of Mongolians:

First, the tea bricks are small in size, large in density, and sufficient in size. Just bring a small piece, which is enough for one person to drink for more than half a month. Nomads often move or go out to graz, so it is very convenient to carry them!

Secondly, the shelf life of tea bricks is longer. As long as they are not wet, they will not deteriorate for more than ten years. Moreover, the longer the tea bricks are placed, the stronger the taste will be!

It can be imagined how much sensation this kind of tea brick will cause once it appears on the grassland, and how many cattle, sheep, horses, and camels can be exchanged for!

With the tea bricks, Xue Yu can gather a lot of wealth in a short period of time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich enough to rival a country!

With wealth, you can gather troops and horses, and with military troops, you can gain power. This is an eternal principle!

Having said that, while tea bricks bring wealth and power, they also bring countless jealousy and dangers. If you are not careful, it will be a fate that will never be restored!

Therefore, we have to think about how to use this thing!

...

Just as Xue Yu led everyone to make loose tea into tea bricks, Xiao Yueyue also got the shop done.

The new shop is located in the east of Baodezhou City, on a very prosperous street. The storefronts, counters, warehouses have been renovated, the account rooms, guys, and coachmen have all recruited them, and even the good day of opening is calculated.

Now there is one thing that is to give the shop a good name!

The quality of the name directly affects the future and destiny of the shop. Xiao Yueyue dared not take his own initiative and ran over to ask the owner for instructions.

Xue Yu thought for a while and came up with a very tacky name: Sihai Business!

This name has been unanimously recognized by everyone. As the saying goes: "Business is prosperous and wealth is abundant and it reaches the three rivers!"

It is indeed a bit vulgar in the name of "Four Seas", but doing business is a vulgar thing. As long as the business is prosperous and you can make a fortune, there is nothing wrong with being vulgar!
