Chapter 57: Peach Blossoms

The next day, the Chen family came to the Grange with great interest. Along the way, the flowers are red and willow green, and the spring is infinite, Chen Wenhui can't do it in the carriage, and Chen Wenlin is even more anxious, because Chen Wenjun has learned to ride a horse, and he is riding on a jujube red horse at the moment. Chen Wenlin could only take his mother and sister in the car, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously. can make the Bai family laugh to death.

Fortunately, it's not far. When they arrived in Zhuangzi, they settled down first, and after lunch, the Chen family couldn't wait to go up the mountain. The mountain is really like a fairyland, one is Peach Blossom Mountain, which looks like a pink smoke cloud from a distance, and the other is Pear Blossom Mountain, which looks like a snow-capped mountain from a distance.

Walking up the winding path, you can see peasant women picking flowers everywhere. These peasant women carry small bamboo baskets on their backs and shuttle among the flowers and trees. The flowers and trees are very short, because Chen Wenhui told sΓΉ Ziyu about the technique of pressing branches, and the fruit trees are short, so it is convenient to pick. This made the Chen family, who were accustomed to seeing big trees, very surprised. A gust of wind blew, full of scattered peach petals, like a rain of pink flowers. Chen Wenhui was shocked by this beautiful scenery and was speechless.

Chen Wenlin is very lively, walking around under the flower tree. Chen Wenjun stood with a smile, as if he was chanting poetry, Chen Yuanheng picked a cluster of gorgeous peach blossoms and inserted them in Bai's black hair, and Bai's instantly became bright and abnormal.

After playing for a while, they were tired, and the maids hurriedly took out the blankets that had been prepared long ago and spread them, and then took out the tea set and snacks, and the Chen family sat under the peach tree in the blue sky and white clouds, drinking tea and eating snacks. There are also flower petals in the sky with the wind, and Chen Wenhui thinks that such a day is very beautiful.

Chen Yuanheng is really a person with a strong sense of dedication, and he has not forgotten his responsibilities as a parent official when he arrives here. Let Ziyu call a peasant woman who was picking flowers and ask questions.

Chen Yuanheng asked: "You are a tenant in my Zhuangzi, how is the situation this year?" ”

This peasant woman is in her forties, quite neat, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, in which there are most of the basket's peach petals, although the clothes she wears are linen, but they are clean and without patches, and she hurriedly replied: "Master, my family is thanks to being a tenant of the master's family." First, the old man built a house, and then let us cut trees, and the tree planters were paid for their wages to survive the spring famine. Later, he taught us to raise chickens and ducks, and the rent collected was only 50%, and after the autumn harvest, he also bought our grain, and also built a farm in the village, and now there is a fragrant workshop, and the people in our village can help in addition to farming, and life is much better. No, our eldest son married a daughter-in-law a few years ago. It's the one under the flowers and trees over there. Although it cost more than three taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is still a capable person, and after three months of coming, she earned more than one or two silver for the farm helper, which is really not a loss at all. I'm planning to marry my second son this year. ”

After laughing, the Chen family looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a young daughter-in-law standing under the flower tree, about fifteen or sixteen years old, picking flowers diligently. Bai said: "Well, your daughter-in-law is handsome, she only spent three taels of silver to marry, but she has the ability." ”

The peasant woman hurriedly said, "Where did Madame say, didn't she thank Madame and Master for the blessing?" Originally, our Li family was poor, and no one wanted to marry, but now the girls in the ten villages and eight villages in the vicinity are all thinking about marrying. Therefore, originally this eldest son and daughter-in-law were good-looking, and her mother's family had to ask for a dowry of ten taels of silver. Who gave birth to a daughter not to make her life better. ”

Bai Shi laughed when he heard this: "You old thing, no wonder you want to marry another daughter-in-law quickly." Presumably, now you have to pick and choose your daughter-in-law. ”

The peasant woman laughed: "Madame said that, isn't it? This year, as soon as the Chinese New Year is over, several matchmakers will come. ”

Chen Yuanheng also laughed.

Chen Wenhui said: "Then why don't you work in the workshop and come to pick flowers?" ”

The peasant woman said, "Oh, there are enough people in the workshop these days, so we will come to pick the flowers, and we will earn more money from picking the flowers, and when the flowering period is over, this work will be gone, and then we can go to the workshop to work." The green frost girl in the workshop agreed. ”

Chen Wenhui said to Bai: "Mother, let's go to the workshop in the evening, shall we?" There are also breeding farms. ”

Bai agreed.

The sun was about to set, and the Chen family came down from the mountain, but unfortunately it was too late to go to the workshop. When he returned to the house, he found that Qingshuang was also there, and he also brought the account book, the family was busy eating first, and after the meal, Chen Yuanheng took his two sons to compose poems, and Bai took Wen Hui to read the accounts.

Qingshuang also carried a small brocade clip, and when she opened it, it was a glass bottle of peach blossoms, the bottle was very small, only the size of a child's palm, and the bottle was a peach-colored liquid. Bai Shi understood: "This is a peach blossom perfume that has just been made, right?" ”

Qingshuang smiled and said, "Yes, try it for Madame first." ”

Bai gently poured out a drop, and the air was suddenly filled with the aroma of peach blossoms. Bai nodded with satisfaction.

Qingshuang said: "This just can't be put on for a long time." ”

Chen Wenhui thought, this is true, where to find preservatives in this era.

Qingshuang said: "So I thought of a way to make the bottle smaller, but now it is better to sell it immediately, because the peach blossoms are blooming, and there are many perfumes made now." ”

Bai Shi immediately said: "Then this can't be delayed, it just so happens that our Cuijin Building has also opened a branch in Deqing City, so hurry up and put part of the prepared perfume in Cuijin Building in Ancheng, and part of it will be transported to Deqing City." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Sue the people of Cuijin Building, put a free bottle of perfume in the place, so that everyone who comes to the store can use it for free." ”

Bai Shi smiled: "Hui'er's method is good. So be it. ”

As he was talking, Ziyu also brought the account book, and the Bai family was busy reconciling with Ziyu.

The next day, the Chen family went to Lihua Mountain in the morning, and at noon they ate bamboo shoots grown on their own mountain in Zhuangzi. Chen Yuanheng said to Li Huan: "This bamboo shoot is very good, is it more this year?" ”

Li Huan said: "Master, this bamboo shoot is all over the mountain in spring, and we planted a mountain of bamboo last year." So, now the treasury is almost empty, and some of it has been sent to the city mansion and restaurant. Will you sell the rest? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Our family is not short of this money now, let's let people make bamboo shoots and dried them, so that they can be eaten all year round." ”

Chen Yuanheng hurriedly said: "Yes, just do what the girl said." ”

Li Huan hurriedly agreed.

After taking a nap, the Chen family visited the perfume shop and the farm. These Chen Wenhui are not interested, I don't know how many modern factories I have seen in my previous life, but Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenlin have watched them with relish.

In this way, two days later, Chen Yuanheng, Chen Wenjun, and Chen Wenlin went back to Ancheng. Not long after they left, Chen Wenhui's friends came, including Mingzhu, Wang Yaozhen, Lan sisters, Wan Qiaozhen, Li Shuyu, and a new friend Huang Yuyan.

A few girls chirped together like five hundred ducks. After eating at noon, these little girls all went to Peach Blossom Mountain, and without exception they were electrified by the beautiful scenery. After a moment of astonishment, the mountains of flowers were destroyed, and many of them were plucked. Until many years later, these girls have become housewives and still miss the peach blossoms of that mountain, and the beautiful scenery has been engraved in their minds.

After a few girls played for a few days, they returned to Ancheng with Chen Wenhui, Bai, and Hu. However, the Grange welcomed a few friends of the two Chen brothers, followed by Chen Yuanheng's colleagues and friends, and it was not until the end of the flowering period that the feast ended. But the whole city is talking about the Chen family's Peach Blossom Mountain, which was originally a nameless hill and is now named Peach Blossom Mountain. The Chen family's Zhuangzi is also called Peach Blossom Villa. These were all unexpected by Chen Yuanheng, but he also accepted them happily.

There was also a fashion wind blowing in Ancheng and Deqing City, that is, the ladies were talking about peach blossom perfume. The peach blossom perfume in the Chen family's Cuijin Building was loved by all women. Those who have money go to buy it, and those who don't have money also go to Cuijinlou to get a drop in the free bottle. For a time, the fragrance of peach blossoms wafted everywhere in Anseong and Deokyeong.

The Chen family, the initiator of this peach blossom storm, is very calm. Bai Shi was in the upper room, looking at the ledger and laughing.

It has only been a month since the perfume was launched, and it has already earned more than 2,000 taels of silver, which is really a huge profit. I am also happy that there is also a glass workshop that supplies the Chen family, and it also makes a lot of money. Chen Wenhui reminded to put the mark of Cuijin Lou on the perfume bottle to prevent those who follow the trend.

After the peach blossom perfume, Cuijinlou launched pear blossom perfume, magnolia perfume, jasmine perfume, rose perfume and so on, of course, now that the perfume has been accepted by everyone, Cuijinlou has not made free perfume, but this does not hurt sales at all, it is still very popular.

Bai took the opportunity to buy two more hills, and planted laurel trees and plum trees before the spring was over, because he was afraid that the supply of perfume would be cut off in autumn and winter.

In this way, spring passed in the hustle and bustle. Because of the spring in the peach blossom villa a few little girls gathered for several days, the friendship between each other has further increased, and now there are more contacts between them, today you have a birthday, tomorrow she has a tea party, Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu are very busy.

In the busyness, Chen Yuanheng entered Bai's upper room one day with a clip, retreated from everyone, and specially let Bai and Wen Hui appreciate the treasures in the clip, which were three sets of beautiful and extraordinary jewelry lying quietly.

There are necklaces, rings, earrings, hairpins, hairpins, bracelets, which shine dazzlingly. This is designed by Chen Wenhui and built by Wanjia Silver Building. Chen Wenhui didn't expect that the craftsmen of Wanjia were so good, and they were even more beautiful than they had seen in their previous lives.

Hui Xin has been writing with heart, asking for recommendation votes, asking for collections, and asking for clicks.
