Chapter Seventy-Three: Perfume

On the second day after Fu Xiaoguan and his entourage arrived in Xishan, Yi Yu took Yu Zhongtan to the Xishan Courtyard with five carriages.

Fu Xiaoguan carefully inspected the various utensils that were removed from the carriage, nodded with satisfaction, and then selected two pieces and handed them to Master Liu of the winery for him to take and burn on the stove, if it can pass the high temperature test, it shows that the development of glazed utensils has reached a new level.

Although Yu Zhongtan's workshop had undergone hundreds of high-temperature tests, he was still a little worried, after all, this research experiment had cost a lot of money.

Fu Xiaoguan and Yu Zhongtan were chatting over tea, and Yu Wenyun and Dong Shulan couldn't put down these utensils when they looked at them.

It's just that what these things are here to do, they are the same as Yu Zhongtan, and they don't know.

"Boss Yu, this is a set of samples, and if there is no problem with high temperature resistance, I will immediately produce ten sets of them, and I want such bottles."

Fu Xiaoguan drew three kinds of small bottles on paper with charcoal, some round, some square and some long, each marked with specifications, "This thing does not need to be resistant to high temperatures, but the bottle body should be thicker, and the bottom of the bottle should be thicker, and the bottom of the bottle will be embossed with the word Xishan, each of which needs 3,000." ”

Yu Zhongtan looked at these patterns and said with a smile: "This thing is much simpler...... He glanced at the two women who were admiring those utensils, and he didn't know who they were, but he knew that the young master of the Fu family was not engaged, thinking that it might be a relative of the Fu family, so he smiled again: "Young Master Fu, you see that we have been working together for so long, I have been thinking about inviting you to dinner, but you are always not in Linjiang, in the past two days, there has been a popular song in Linjiang called Water Tune Song Head, it is said that the best singing is that Fan Duoer, when will Young Master Fu return to Linjiang Yu wants to accompany you to Nayi Red Mansion to listen, how about it?" ”

"No way!"

It was Yu Wenyun who spoke, she was wearing a face towel, her eyes moved away from the bottle and looked at Yu Zhongtan, this statement was categorical, Yu Zhongtan was stunned, hehe laughed twice, and there was already a judgment in her mind, "So, then forget it, there is a return to Linjiang Yu to invite you to have a meal together, okay?" ”

Yu Wenyun was happy in his heart, this person was really a business material, and his mind turned quickly.

"This one does."

Fu Xiaoguan smiled bitterly in his heart, this little girl is going to officially manage him, but he has no interest in Qinglou, and he said happily: "You and I have a business partnership, but there is no need to be like this, Boss Yu has put a lot of thought into these utensils I know, as long as your price is reasonable, I will not go to find a second one, you can rest assured to help me do it." ”

In the evening, Master Liu walked in with the two utensils, "Young Master, there is no problem." ”

Fu Xiaoguan took it and looked at it himself, nodded, and said: "It's better to sign a contract, the deposit is 20%, and I will go to Steward Zhang here to get it, it's getting late, Boss Yu will stay with me, and I'll go back to Linjiang tomorrow." ”

"In this way, thank you Young Master Fu."

Yu Zhongtan went to find the housekeeper Zhang Ce, and Yu Wenyun was embarrassed at this time.

She regretted it when she blurted out those two words just now, after all, the two have nothing to do with each other at the moment, but the reason why she said those two words was because her second sister, the second sister's concubine lingered in the Qinglou for a long time and did not return home, making the second sister stay alone in the empty room and have no home, so she doesn't like the Qinglou very much, especially her own man goes to the Qinglou.

"That...... If you want to go, go. ”

"There's nothing to go to, and I don't have that time."

"What do these things do?" Dong Shulan asked.

"Extracting alcohol is a very strong liquor, which needs to reach about 70 degrees. This thing is not for drinking, I want to use it to make perfume, and tomorrow I will get some flowers, and this perfume will be born. ”

"Perfume? What is it? Yu Wenyun asked.

"A very fragrant kind of water, you can spray a little on the clothes, which can give off the fragrance for a long time. The flavor type varies depending on the flowers used, such as roses, jasmine lilacs, etc. ”

This immediately aroused the interest of the two women, and they chatted for a long time, and finally Yu Wenyun chose the rose scent, while Dong Shulan chose the jasmine scent.

But the problem now is that the roses have withered this season, and jasmine may still be found, so Yu Wenyun finally chose osmanthus.

The flowers that Fu Xiaoguan handed over to the villagers to plant would not bloom for at least a month, and what he originally wanted to make was the most osmanthus flowers of the season.

Fu Xiaoguan called Master Liu to explain again, and this time it took a lot of time.

He introduced the name of each utensil to Master Liu in detail, such as the beaker, such as the test tube, such as this large round ball, called the distillation ballβ€”he couldn't make a distillation column, so there was no way to achieve industrial mass production.

Then he told Master Liu in detail about the purification process of alcohol, which is not much different from winemaking, that is, the mastery of time, Master Liu wrote them down one by one, and then went to the winery to call someone to move these utensils over, and he needed to experiment according to the young master's method.

Fu Xiaoguan called Zhang Ce in again, and he sent a few people to the mountains tomorrow to pick some jasmine and osmanthus flowers.

"Experiment with a batch first, and when the workshop is built and the technology is stable, this thing can be put on the market."

Because there are no samples yet, the two women don't know what this thing looks like, but since it is going to be sold on the market, this store must be found first.

"I spent 30,000 taels to buy a big mansion in Shangjing, which is ...... I didn't consult with you. Dong Shulan was a little embarrassed, and her little face was a little red.

Yu Wenyun knew that Dong Shulan wanted to buy the courtyard by Xuanwu Lake, and she also knew that Dong Shulan was responsible for selling the book, but she didn't expect that the silver was actually in Dong Shulan's hands, and she spent it without asking Fu Xiaoguan's opinion.

"This is very good, sooner or later you will have to go to Beijing, not to mention that I don't need to discuss the matter of money."

"Now I have more than 12,000 taels in my hand, and this time when I go back to Beijing, Wenyun and I will go to see if there is a suitable shop to buy two. You have to do the business yourself, and if you make money, you have to spend it on buying a family business. ”

On doing business, Yu Wenyun knows very well that she can't catch up with Dong Shulan by beating horses, but she also has advantages, for example, "There are five shops in Qingluan Lane that are very good, we will buy them when we go back, and I still have some private houses if the money is not enough." ”

Dong Shulan looked at Yu Wenyun, Qingluan Lane is the most prosperous street in Jinling, and almost all the shops in that place are in the hands of dignitaries, and it is extremely difficult to sell them.

Yu Wenyun smiled a little weakly, "That's ...... My brother's estate. ”

Is that okay too? Fu Xiaoguan was happy, Yu Wenyun raised his neck, "I want him to sell it to me, you guys will see!" ”
