Chapter Seventy-Four: So Wonderful
Because Fu Xiaoguan brought two women, Wang Er's family didn't go out after they came back.
They didn't know the identities of these two women, but judging by their mannerisms and clothes, they must be the daughters of rich and noble families, Wang Er had already said hello, don't go and bump into others, making the young master embarrassed.
Early in the morning of the second day, Fu Xiaoguan was exercising in the courtyard in the morning, and when he saw Wang Er and Wang Qiang going out, he ran over.
He thought about it for a long time last night, who should be sure to do the perfume thing?
This thing doesn't have any technical content, it's just that alcohol is a little more troublesome, but if there is another mole, it is very easy to imitate it.
Thinking about it, Wang Qiang's fiancée Zhang Xiaomei is trustworthy. That girl Fu Xiaoguan has seen it many times, her mind is quite delicate, and she does things cleanly, so let her be in charge of perfume.
"Wang Qiang, you wait."
"Young Master!"
"Wait a minute, you see your fiancée, come to me with her, I have something to take care of with her."
Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Where is she?" I don't know a big word or a woman's family, no, no, if she spoils the young master's business, then it will be troublesome. ”
Fu Xiaoguan patted Wang Qiang's shoulder and said with a smile: "You person, don't look down on women, it's so decided, you bring her to me." ”
Wang Eryi slapped Wang Qiang on the back of his head, "This is the young master who can afford our family and listen to the young master, and the seeds of the Fu generation will be sent to the young master if they open up a sun, do you hear it?" ”
"Okay, well, according to yours, according to yours."
……
The two women were reluctant to get up on such a cool morning, and besides, they slept much later than before after this Xishan Annex, and they definitely couldn't get up this morning.
Fu Xiaoguan listened to Zhang Ce's reports on various places in recent days in the inner courtyard, and there were no problems on the whole, but the construction progress of the new workshop was extremely slow.
This is not easy to do, because it is a busy time for farming, and almost all the workers on whom Xishan relies are tenants of their own family, and their first task is to farm.
Now even the Xishan Express has stopped half, if it weren't for the cement workshop in urgent need of slag, this Xishan Express is estimated to have to rest.
"Listening to the people of Xishan Express coming back, there seems to be refugees in Yao County, it is said that the county order Yu Lian ordered the city gate to be closed, and some porridge and soup were put every day. I'm afraid there will be a lot of people coming from both sides of the Yellow River, and these refugees are like locusts, and if they bypass Yao County and come to us, it will be more troublesome. ”
Fu Xiaoguan heard his father talk about the Yellow River flood, but he didn't expect the refugees to arrive here so soon.
But his eyes soon lit up, "So Yu Xianling is not ready to accept these refugees?" ”
"How can this be accepted? As long as you dare to accept it, the refugees behind will rush over when they hear the news, how much food can Xiaoxiao Yao County have for these refugees to consume? If those refugees are hungry and panicked, but they want to make trouble, and there is no sergeant to suppress it in Yao County, where can Yu County Command afford it? ”
"What if we accept it?"
Zhang Ce was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Young master, the fields of the Fu Mansion have already been allocated, and the reason why these tenants have been able to cultivate with peace of mind over the years is that the master has never messed with the divided fields." Besides, we don't know how many refugees will come, and where will they live? What to eat? We don't even have the most basic defenses in this place except for this Xishan Annex, if they make a fuss, all that the young master has done will come to naught, and even these peasants will be robbed by them. ”
Zhang Ce swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sat up straight, and said, "Young man, you have never seen the horror of refugees, they really dare to kill people for a bite to eat." ”
Fu Xiaoguan was silent for a moment, but still decided to accept these refugees.
It's not about kindness, it's about how much he needs people, and he needs many, many people!
"I know, I'll think about it carefully."
Zhang Ce retreated, and Fu Xiaoguan walked a few steps by the stream, thinking about the refugees.
Since Yao County has closed the city gate, it is still giving porridge, which means that there are not many refugees at the moment, otherwise Yu County Ling will definitely ask for help from Linjiang Prefecture.
The state capital has an army, and for the safety of Linjiang, Liu Zhizhou must also send troops, not to mention suppression, at least as a deterrent.
Then, if there are not many refugees to take over these people, there will be no big mess.
In this way, it not only helped Yu Xianling to relieve the siege, but also accepted the follow-up refugees in an orderly manner.
This matter has to be handled as soon as possible, I have to get the perfume out today, teach Zhang Xiaomei, and leave for Yao County tomorrow.
When Wang Qiang brought Zhang Xiaomei over, Yu Wenyun and Dong Shulan had already finished washing and were sitting in the courtyard.
Zhang Xiaomei was very nervous, she knew that what the young master did was a big thing, and Wang Qiang told her a lot along the way, and she felt even more pressured.
It didn't take long for Master Liu to walk in with alcohol, this thing was tried last night, and he made another bottle himself today.
Zhang Ce also walked in with a basket, which was the jasmine and osmanthus picked in the West Mountain early in the morning.
Fu Xiaoguan beckoned to Zhang Xiaomei and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'll teach you, after you learn, choose some women or women, you just go and teach them." ”
"Young Master......"
"Look, I'll only teach you once."
"This thing is called a still—Master Liu, I have to trouble you to bring a furnace and bring a tank of distilled water, which is the water that is separated during brewing."
"Young master, wait a minute."
Soon, Master Liu ran into the courtyard with a small worker, what strange things did the young master want to make?
"Now we put this jasmine in this still, and then heat it on the stove until it produces water, which is called essential oil."
A group of people waited with bated breath for half an hour, and the essential oil did appear in the still.
"This thing is called a measuring cup, you see, there is a scale on it, we take six scales of distilled water and pour it into this large container, and then take a scale of alcohol, which is something with a strong smell of wine, and also pour it into this container, and the last step is to take three scales of essential oil and pour it into this container."
As soon as the still was opened, a rich jasmine aroma came to everyone's face, and everyone's eyes lit up.
"The next thing is to stir, use this glass stick to stir in this container, you have to remember, this stirring time is at least two hours, I will omit it here."
"Finally, it's bottling...... It was put in the cellar for about two months before it could be put on sale. ”
"Do you understand?"
Zhang Xiaomei nodded and shook her head again.
Fu Xiaoguan patiently made it with osmanthus again, and this time Zhang Xiaomei remembered it.
"Okay, in the future, this matter will be completely responsible for you, and you will find Steward Zhang for something."
Zhang Guan's family should leave with everyone, and at this time, Yu Wenyun and Dong Shulan couldn't wait to take the perfume and smell it carefully.
Because it is not fully stirred and aged, the taste is not mellow, but the aroma is already lingering.
"This thing spilled on you?"
"Well, you guys try."
"This thing seems to be very troublesome, and it has to be left for so long, how does it cost?"
"The bottle I ordered, each bottle costs one or two silver!"
A tael of silver? It doesn't seem expensive.
The two rich women changed Fu Xiaoguan's price, and since the perfume was listed, they sold it for ten taels of silver a bottle, and it was still in short supply!
