To make a perfume, you need a high concentration of alcohol.

Early in the morning, Chu Yang opened a large pot in the courtyard and poured a jar of wine into it.

When the wine boiled, he placed a lid made of bamboo strips on the pot, and after a while, streams of alcohol vapor began to gather on the lid of the pot, converging into tiny droplets of water, flowing along the lid to the jar that had been prepared.

For a while, the smell of alcohol filled the courtyard.

Dipping a little of his finger into his mouth, Chu Yang couldn't help frowning.

In ancient times, the liquor was very thin, and the concentration was not as good as the mash of later generations, and according to the current concentration, it would have to be distilled at least three more times.

Chu Sunshine held his shoulders and took the trouble to pour the wine in the jar into a cauldron again, and Fan Hao helped watch the fire on the side.

"Lord, Yuelaixuan's side has dropped to fifty Wen, Xiao Dong's family trustee asked you, when can you close the net?"

Fan Xu stared at the boiling wine in the pot, swallowing his saliva.

"Fifty wen?"

Chu Yang stirred the wine vigorously and shook his head.

"Let's wait until it's down to forty wen before we do it."

Forty Wen is almost the bottom line of Yuelaixuan.

When he thought that Yue Lai Xuan would lose more than 100 yuan for every set of underwear sold, he wanted to laugh a little.

"What's going on over there at the Treasure Pavilion?"

"Xiao Dongjia has sold some of her assets according to your instructions, and secretly began to buy alcohol, and she is also ready to declare to the public that she is sick and vomits blood, and wants to ask your opinion."

After Chu Yang completely took control of the Baolai Pavilion, Xiao Ruolan suddenly became a good student, asking for opinions on everything.

"Let her do it herself, in short, let Yue Lai Xuan have the illusion that Bao Lai Pavilion will soon be unable to hold on, and they are about to win.

I also told her that in addition to the drinks, prepare more dried flowers and herbs, I will be of great use! ”

Chu Yang poured the third distilled liquor into the pot again, and there was a look of expectation on his face.

Fan nodded his head.

These days, there are at least a few thousand jars of wine in his hands.

It's just that he doesn't quite understand, what does his lord want so many drinks for?

However, doubts are doubts, and Fan Xu never hesitated about what Chu Yang confessed.

He knew that as long as he did what the lord wanted, he would not be wrong.

As the first drop of water filled with the rich aroma of wine fell into the jar, Chu Yang took a closer sniff and finally showed a satisfied look.

"Here, try it."

Chu Yang scooped out a small cup and handed it to Fan Xu, who looked a little unnatural.

"The lord is too underestimating me, such a small cup is not enough to even stuff his teeth."

Chu Yang smiled but did not speak.

Fan Hao picked up the wine glass and drank it all, originally wanted to say something, but was choked with tears by the hot taste, and kept coughing.

Immediately, a faint sweet taste spread in his mouth, and the whole body seemed to be burning with a flame, and his whole body was warm.

"This ...... What kind of wine is this! How can it be so domineering! Fan Xu looked at Chu Yang with a shocked expression.

No wonder the lord only scooped a small cup for me, which I would not have choked to death if I had drunk it in the original way.

His face was flushed, and he didn't know if it was because of alcohol, or if he was embarrassed.

"What do you think of this wine?" Chu Yang asked with a smile.

"Delicious! I've never drunk such fragrant wine in my life, is the lord planning to open a tavern? Fan Hao recalled the taste just now, and seemed unfinished.

"Do you think this wine can be sold?"

Chu Yang handed Fan Xu another glass, with his previous experience, Fan Xu drank extremely cautiously this time, and when the rich aroma of wine exploded in his mouth, his whole eyes lit up.

"Yes! Absolutely! Lord, you don't know, we are humid all year round, every winter, who doesn't have a back pain and leg pain, if you have this wine, then what else to worry about, it definitely warms the heart!

It's a pity that we don't have much farmland in Pei County, otherwise if there is enough grain to make wine, we can definitely sell well all over the country! ”

Hearing Fan Xu say this, Chu Yang thought that in this era, flour and rice have not yet become popular.

Beans were the most eaten food, and even in the old days, soybeans were used by the army as food.

But the most important thing for the moment is to make perfumes, and as for selling alcohol, let's talk about it later.

Chu Yang taught Fan Hao the process of distillation, and told him that the back house was a forbidden place and let him take care of it.

At this moment, the subordinates came to tell the eldest lady of the Lu family.

"Didn't you ask you not to go out recently, how can you still ......" Chu Yang said with blame in his tone.

After Yue Laixuan came to threaten him, he asked Fan Hao to go to the Lu Mansion and told the Lu sisters not to go out in the near future.

"Humph! If it weren't for the news of the price reduction of 'Furong To' that was known all over the city, how long would you want to hide it from us? Lu Pheasant's tone was extremely dissatisfied.

"Hey, isn't this because I'm afraid you're worried......" Chu Yang shrugged his shoulders.

"Have you figured it out? I heard my dad say that the background behind Yue Lai Xuan is not small, anyway, we have made a lot of money, otherwise...... Never mind? Lu Pheasant hesitated.

"Forget it? Why forget it, I can tell you, no one wants to touch my wife! Chu Yang said "viciously".

"Oops, what do you say this does!"

Lu Pheasant looked shy and beat Chu Yang's chest.

Suddenly, the girl's face changed, and she stared at Chu Yang.

"How can you have a woman's scent on you? Okay, it's hard for me and Su Su to worry about you all day long, but you are merry outside! ”

"Huh?"

Chu Yang had a question mark on his face, feeling that he was more wronged than Dou E.

These days, he doesn't go to get alcohol night and night, how can he have time to be merry.

"Really?" Lu Pheasant said suspiciously.

"Then why do you smell so good?"

"Dizzy, how did I forget this!"

Chu Yang slapped his head fiercely and took out a bottle of freshly mixed perfume from his arms.

"I originally wanted to send it to you in a few days, do you smell it?"

Lu Pheasant took the letter suspiciously, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and then the whole person fell into a stupor.

How can there be such a good smell in this world!

With this thing, none of her favorite rouge gouaches on weekdays are enough!

"Are you busy with these days? What is this? ”

Lu Pheasant lowered his head and whispered, a little embarrassed to wronged Chu Yang.

"Otherwise, go and have a good time with the sisters in the Qinglou?"

Chu Yang patted Lu Pheasant's head angrily.

"This thing is called perfume, I haven't thought of a specific name yet, in short, it's a money-making baby!"

Lu Pheasant raised his head and looked at Chu Yang's eyes full of admiration.

This guy always seems to be this calm look.

It was as if nothing could stump him at all.

Needless to say, she also knew that this thing called perfume must be his backhand.

Lu Pheasant carefully put away the two bottles of perfume, and then remembered the purpose of coming this time.

"By the way, tomorrow night is the Double Ninth Festival, my father held a Chongyang Festival, and the invited people are all literati and celebrities from Pei County, you are so powerful, you must come to help my father support the scene!"

"Chongyang Cultural Society?" Chu Yang was happy in his heart.

No wonder people often say that wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.

Since this old man became rich, his mind has become much more active all of a sudden.

He also heard from the two sisters of the Lu family that Lu openly kept "Chu Xian's nephew" on his lips and showed off when he met people.

Anyway, since it is the father-in-law's business, he will naturally do his best.

Smelling the perfume in the air, Chu Yang's eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

The final battle between him and Yue Lai Xuan will be out in the next few days.

When the time comes, everything will be settled.
