Raymond is in high spirits and shows his strength!

He chose to choose a place suitable for the growth of roses to build a rose garden!

The soil treatment of roses was done, the soil was dug and turned over to kill the insects in the soil, and then the farm manure was applied to plough and divide the furrows according to a certain specification.

Seeds are cultivated, germinated and grown, planted and loaded into the soil.

Reasonable fertilization of roses;

Hire women to prune roses to avoid branches growing thin and dying due to canopy and canopy;

pest and disease control of roses;

……

Under careful care, the seeds begin to germinate in May, spread their leaves in mid to late June, bud in mid to late July, and are expected to bloom in August, and some have already bloomed.

Thanks to Mazu Niangniang's blessing, everything went well.

At this time, Shi Kefa and Raymond both lost a few pounds of meat!

Shi Kefa threw himself into his work with his body and mind, taking care of the great cause of roses.

It's not that he's physically tired, he's scared.

It can be said that his reputation is all bet on the rose business, and he has received strong support, and if he fails, he will lose face.

There were so many things to worry about.

Small, fragile roses, too many accidents can make them die.

A wind and rain, excessively hot sun, pests and diseases, when they hang buds, Shi Kefa is most worried about typhoons!

Everywhere the typhoon went, everything was cleared.

However, he is unfounded, one of the necessary conditions for the formation of a typhoon is sufficient geostrophic deflection force to allow the typhoon to rotate, and most of the territory of the southeastern province (Indonesia) is near the equator, and the geostrophic deflection force is very small, so even if the water temperature there is very high, there is no typhoon, and it is almost unaffected by typhoons in history.

In Scofa's opinion, the smell of this "rose" (this rose is actually difficult to determine the type) is not fragrant enough, the color is not beautiful, and the essential oil produced is not enough.

However, it is still necessary to be able to see the results quickly if it is a short-term project.

Let's pick.

Rose buds are harvested before opening, that is, when the longitudinal diameter of the flower buds is 3 times that of the calyx, the harvest is the best, the yield is reduced too early, and the quality is affected by the late flowering. During the concentrated flowering period, the strong and full flower buds are picked, and the other weak flower buds are picked after they are fully opened. Flowers that bloom sporadically at other times are also picked when they are fully opened.

Gather people's hands, pick flower buds, put them in bamboo baskets, gather together, and pick 10,000 kilograms of flowers.

It's time to get excited!

Distilled to get essential oils!

The water vapor evaporation method is adopted, in which the roses are placed in the wine vessel, that is, the bud distillation container, and then the high-temperature steam is passed into it, and the essential oils containing aromatic components in the plant will diffuse into the water vapor to form an azeotrope of oil and water; The azeotropic is then cooled and the oil is insoluble in water, so it separates from the water to form the desired essential oil.

The distillation method is very convenient, and there is no need to use chemical solvents, and the still used is very powerful, but in just four hours, the first batch of rose essential oil has already given off a rich fragrance.

The bottles ordered before have been delivered, so they are bottled, and bottles of rose essential oil are arranged on the table, each bottle is very small, with a capacity of only ten grams, and this batch of rose essential oil can only hold 200 bottles!

Shi Kefa wiped the sweat from his head and looked at the two hundred bottles of rose essential oil neatly arranged with a sense of accomplishment. It was a good feeling that a farmer's uncle was looking at his golden wheat field at the autumn harvest, and he felt that he had indeed seen countless shiny silver coins flying towards him! It makes Shi Kefa feel a sense of accomplishment, and I think this is probably the pleasure of labor.

When it's done, it's time to cash in, and Raymond asks, "How much is the price for a bottle?" ”

Shi Kefa waved his hand heroically and said, "Fifty silver dollars!" ”

Two hundred bottles are ten thousand silver dollars, which is equivalent to seven thousand taels of silver!

A flame of greed appeared in Raymond's eyes, but soon reason returned to his mind and he asked worriedly, "Will it be too expensive?" ”

"A thousand roses, a drop of rose, beautiful and magnificent!" This phrase is used by Scofa, which is the advertising slogan of this bottle of "Golden Liquid" type I rose essential oil.

He was full of confidence, but the others disagreed, and Raymond muttered to himself that he should not be like he used to be, "Good luck!" ”

In order to promote rose essential oil, Shi Kefa personally led a team to the Rising Sun City, but he first went to visit Liu Zhifeng.

To be honest, Liu Zhifeng is not interested in this fragrant gadget, but he still gave a strong recommendation, and he wrote a letter to Prime Minister Chen Xinji to introduce rose essential oil, a new Balinese product, and asked him to take care of it.

In addition, Liu Zhifeng had been in charge of agriculture in the southeast province for a period of time, and he was familiar with some of the current agricultural economic officials, so he also wrote a letter of recommendation to them and asked them to help sell them.

At the same time, he also appointed Shi Kefa with the title of agricultural adviser to the governor's palace to facilitate his actions.

So Shi Kefa took the letter, took Raymond and a deputy township chief, and took a boat to the main island to sell.

Back to the main island of Rising Sun City, where it was still so vibrant, Shi Kefa was very bold, inquired about the address of the Prime Minister's Office, and went straight to the Prime Minister's Office.

It is difficult to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even if the officials who meet there are not crowds, there are quite a lot, but the door officials in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion --- the reception staff are polite and do not accept red envelopes!

Sesame petty officials like Shi Kefa did not make an appointment, and they also very politely accepted the letter of introduction and two bottles of rose essential oil, and asked them to leave their addresses, and they would be notified at that time.

"Generally, there will be a reply within five working days, please be patient!" They said to Scofa.

He went to the officials introduced by Liu Zhifeng to pay a visit, and sure enough, Liu Zhifeng's face was still quite big, and almost all the other parties met him and met politely, but he was cautious about the promotion of rose essential oil, after all, this is a new product, and they also have to study it.

Shi Kefa returned to his residence and decided to wait five days, and if that didn't work, then sell himself.

As a result, three days later, there was a reply, inviting him to attend an agricultural fair in the southeast province a week later, and the rose essential oil would be promoted in a prominent position!

So I waited another week for the Agricultural Fair to be held at the Convention and Exhibition Center in Rising Sun City, and the "Golden Liquid" Type I Rose Oil was indeed arranged to be promoted in a prominent position, and it was one of the main products of this agricultural fair.

The province of Southeast has rules for everything, and a convention and exhibition center has been set up, where various exhibitions are often held to promote products.

This agricultural expo is a large-scale agricultural exchange event for agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry products, non-staple foods and technologies. Covering agricultural technology and equipment, new fertilizers, seeds and other fields, the exhibition area reaches tens of thousands of square meters, and the exhibition area of various provinces in Southeast Prefecture, agricultural reclamation exhibition area, foreign port exhibition area, leading enterprise exhibition area, leisure agriculture exhibition area, forest products and seedlings and flowers exhibition area, farmer professional cooperative exhibition area, etc. (In fact, Liu Zhifeng's Bali Island also prepared the exhibits early, but Shi Kefa's rose essential oil was not released for a long time, and he didn't know the quality, so he didn't keep up with the exhibition arrangement at that time)

The agricultural products on display are rich and diverse. Including Sumatra beef noodles, mushroom fungus from Jinshan Province, Balinese sago and other Hubei specialties, Java rock sugar chicken and so on, as well as excellent Sumatran rum, New Guinea island olive oil and other products, will gather together.

The planting industry in the southeast province is developed, and the agricultural products, agricultural and sideline products, fruits, etc. are dazzling, and the quantities are innumerable, which is dazzling!

In addition to the local people, it also attracted merchants from the mainland, Chinese followers, Arab merchants, West Asian and Arab merchants, Turkish merchants and red hairy fans!

This is the only world-class fair on the planet!

Yan Changwu has accumulated a lot of money and worked hard to manage it, and finally achieved fruitful results.

All the merchants know that there will be no fake and shoddy goods in the products ordered here, and those Chinese, who love the reputation of their goods as much as they love their eyeballs, dare to ruin the goodwill, and punish them until they are bankrupt, and they will definitely be sent to the island to repair the earth, so that all the merchants will be terrified!

This expo is to call for the upcoming autumn harvest, and the flow of people at the exhibition is like a carp, and the purchase and sales are booming.

Although the "Golden Liquid" type I rose essential oil was placed in a prominent position, it was a pity that it was high and low, and only ten bottles were sold on the first day of sales, and the effect was not ideal.

But the next day, sales changed dramatically and all the rose essential oil was sold out at once!
