Chapter 130: Ancient Luxury
Fan Ming smiled slightly, didn't answer, dipped a drop in it with his hand and wiped it on his forehead, and then wiped another drop on Xiangxue's nose, paused slightly, and asked, "How is it, how do you feel?"
"It's so fragrant, it's so cool, even the rose water of the Persian Hu people in the Western Regions is better than the fragrant wine of many young masters!" Xiangxue jumped up a little, her eyes were full of admiration, "Master, is this what you want to do, it's amazing!" ”
Fan Ming laughed and said, "This is not a wine that is usually used to drink, but a flavor that is better than spices, called Qingxiang Dew!" ”
"Well, it's fresh and fragrant, and it's really good." Xiangxue couldn't stop her excitement, this new thing is really much more convenient than spices, to say that even in Yingtianfu Caofu, such a good spice is not used, the most important thing is that this thing is made by his own man.
Fan Ming replied with a smile: "This is nothing, it will be really completed by adding medicinal herbs to it later, by the way, are there any other flowers besides Yueji?" ”
"There are also osmanthus, mint, lotus leaves, roses, roses, etc., etc., but it is not easy to pick, if you want to, we will plant some at home."
"Hmm!" Fan Ming nodded and groaned, as if thinking about something.
After everything was cleaned up, less than a kilogram of shochu had been put in about 10 kilograms, and the concentration had almost increased to about 50 degrees, and all that was left was to add various medicinal herbs to it to make toners for various purposes.
Looking at Fan Ming's serious appearance, Xiangxue's eyes gradually had a trace of admiration, thinking that he really didn't misunderstand this man at the beginning, he studied well and did things steadily, although he was happy, but he couldn't help but be a little worried, I heard that many high-ranking officials and magnates in the DPRK and China have a trend of 'catching sons-in-law under the list', if the man in front of him is named on the gold list in the future, will he still want a wife, if he doesn't want a wife, then isn't his own girl......
When Xiangxue was thinking nonsense, Fan Ming had already taken a large pot of distilled high-strength floral wine into the house to mix the ingredients, waiting for the time to dilute and mix thoroughly, and then thought of the problem of packaging, if a luxury product alone can never be sold at a price, and all the focus is on its added value, if you want to open the pockets of the princes and wealthy families of Yingtianfu, you must definitely put some effort into the packaging, so he turned to Xiangxue who followed him and said: "Can we buy Liuli here?" ”
Xiangxue was stunned for a moment, "This thing is a valuable thing, I have seen it in Cao Fuzhong before, and I heard that it is still a tribute." ”
Fan Ming pondered slightly, "What about the jade?" ”
"There is a lot of jade, what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to make a few small bottles to hold this fragrance dew, do we have a jade craftsman in Chuqiu County?"
"Does this wine have to be in a jade bottle?" Xiangxue exaggerated her mouth, and her eyes showed an incredible look, using a jade bottle to fill wine This is a device in the family of the prince and magnate, how can ordinary people afford it.
Seeing Xiangxue's reaction, Fan Ming suddenly felt that he was a little anxious for quick success, and he hadn't seen a trace of income for the time being, and such a large investment was something that he, a poor boy in the countryside, couldn't afford, not to mention that he had already borrowed a huge amount of money from Xiangxue, if he couldn't see a little bit of any income, it was a bit too much to say, and smiled awkwardly, "I'll just ask casually, I'm afraid that I will give gifts in the future, and I have a bottom in my heart." ”
"Oh!" Xiangxue responded in a low voice, and her big eyes rolled slightly, "Young Master, do you want to leave a bottle of this fragrance dew for Madame?" ”
"Of course." Fan Ming pinched Xiangxue's flushed cheeks, "Not only Madame, but also Xiangxue, I will make you fragrant every day in the future!" ”
"Really!" Xiangxue jumped up with joy, and for a moment completely forgot about her previous worries, as if she was like a child who had been given candy.
At this time, Fan Ming's mind has been put on how to sell this thing, if you want to say that the starting price that can be sold must first make a reputation, at present, this fragrance has basically met the requirements in terms of quality, but it is basically equal to zero in reputation.
If you let yourself re-establish a sales channel, you need to spend a lot of money, not to mention, the most important thing is that the time is not allowed, plus there are many uncertain factors, a little bit of a point, if you take a cooperative way with the help of local business channels, it will save a lot of trouble.
But when I first came to Chuqiu County, I was still unfamiliar with the place, not to mention whether I could find a business that I could trust, even if I could agree to cooperate, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble in the future, and I must not come forward in person in this matter, it seems that it is necessary to find Wang Jiaxuan.
After everything was done, Fan Ming asked Xiangxue to get a spoonful of fragrant dew and put it in the retort of cooking rice, "flower dew with rice" is his impression of the Qing Dynasty's "Idle Love Occasional Mail" author Li Yu's practice of entertaining guests, that is, when the rice is just cooked, pour a cup of flower dew on the rice, cover the pot and simmer for a while, and then, mix well and put it out. As a result, the rice has the fragrance of flowers.
With Li Yu's experience, it is best to use rose, citron or osmanthus fragrance instead of rose fragrance, because the fragrance of rose fragrance is obvious, easy to be tasted, and other flower dew just makes the person who eats feel that the aroma of the rice is abnormal, and can not guess which kind of fragrance flower, more interesting, to know that the fragrance dew made this time is a real pure natural product, is not only a high-end cosmetics, but also a precious and delicious drink, condiments, although it is precious, but it is not so particular to do it yourself, and it is a matter of course to put some wine dew to enjoy yourself.
Xiangxue ate this day's lunch was extraordinarily sweet, and he was amazed that he had never eaten such a fragrant meal, Fan Ming was also very happy, since he came to this world, he has never been coarse tea and light rice, and it is good to be able to eat some meat during the New Year's holidays, even the salt is carefully put, and the taste has never been extravagant, and it has always been his greatest wish to eat a sweet meal.
Thinking of the old lady who was still in Qinghe Township, Fan Ming's heart couldn't help but sink again, with Chen Siliang and Wan'er taking care of her, there should not be too many problems in life, but it is always a little reassuring to put her alone in Qinghe Township.
It happened that someone from a car dealer went to Qinghe Township that afternoon, and Fan Ming immediately wrote a letter to Chen Siliang from the car dealership, only saying that he should come to the county government for a small gathering.
It's not that there's really anything wrong, it's just that I haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's get in touch so as not to lose my feelings.
And Fan Ming has a lot of plans in his heart, and he may need Chen Siliang's help in the future, and now he can be regarded as a small achievement, so he has to take a look at this local snake in Qinghe Township.
Calculating the time, it is estimated that Chen Siliang will arrive at the county government at least until tomorrow afternoon, early the next morning, Fan Ming still goes to the county school as usual, but this day his heart has settled down a lot, the various fragrance types of fragrance dew are still in the configuration, but the initial development is already a fact, in any case, even if it is sold as a general commodity, there will be no market, at least the future food money should not be a problem.
