Uncle Xia Yu's flying pigeon passed to Xia Ji a few days later, and it arrived in Xia Ji's hands. Xia Ji saw that the war had ceased, Chen Guo did not hurt his muscles and bones except for the loss of Huqiu, and Xia Fu did not have any losses, so he put down his hanging heart.

Although she expected that the yield of breeding and transplanting would increase compared with the traditional way of fire cultivation and water rake, she was a little surprised by such a large increase, and if the yield of loaches was counted, the production capacity of one acre of land would more than double.

The most important thing is that this planting method has the value of promotion, the traditional planting yield of 480 catties per mu, breeding and transplanting 820 catties, converted into modern weights and measures, the traditional planting yield per mu is about 240 catties, and the planting yield of breeding and transplanting is about 410 catties, Xia Ji knows that the yield per mu of 410 catties still has a lot of room for growth.

Haomeng Palace is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and many roses and gardenias bloom on the hillside and in the garden, which are fragrant and fragrant, making Xia Ji feel relaxed and happy.

Xia Ji suddenly thought that her last bottle of perfume had been given to Concubine Hui before, and she thought to herself that now that there are so many flowers and homemade liquor, why not try to make some perfume?

Ancient women used balm, and it was okay to apply balm on the face as cosmetics, but the fragrance was not long-lasting, and it was not very convenient to use. If you can make perfumes, it will be very popular.

Xia Ji asked Chun'e and Xia Chan to pick some freshly opened roses and gardenias in the early morning before the sun came out, and then put the broken petals into a small washed jar and mash them, pour in white wine, close them and fully dissolve them.

Because it was an experiment, Natsuhime didn't do much, just used a small amount of roses, gardenias, and wine.

After leaving it for a few hours, Xia Ji filtered the dissolved solution to remove the slag, and Xia Ji was pleasantly surprised to find that the homemade perfume was actually made.

Xia Ji poured the homemade perfume into the empty perfume bottle that had been used up before, and when she pressed it gently, the perfume mist immediately made her feel refreshed.

Xia Ji was overjoyed, and the next day she asked Chun'e and Xia Cicada to bring more roses and gardenias, and still made more perfumes of roses, gardenias, and a mixture of the two flowers in the same way that she had successfully experimented with, and then filled them in small jars and sealed them tightly as a backup.

Xia Ji thought in her heart that if there were more perfume bottles, this perfume might be a big seller, but she only had two perfume bottles.

Natsuhime wondered if she could make her own perfume bottles? In this era, it is unrealistic to make glass bottles, and porcelain bottles cannot be made, so they can only make rough pottery bottles.

In addition to the bottle, the most critical thing is the perfume nozzle. Xia Ji thought to herself that the nozzle was a plastic product, and it was obviously impossible to imitate it as it was, so could it be replaced with bronze?

Xia Ji called Jiang Wei over, handed him a perfume bottle, asked him to find Xinzheng's handicraft workshop to imitate it, and taught him the principle of nozzle spray and how to disassemble it.

Jiang Wei dismantled the nozzle in front of Xia Ji, this small nozzle looked inconspicuous on the outside, and there were several small parts inside, as well as springs, which was a bit complicated.

Xia Ji knew that it was not easy to imitate, but there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, so she took out five taels of gold and asked Jiang Wei to find a skilled craftsman to imitate.

But there is one point, the imitation of the successful nozzle must be durable, the second is not patina, the third is convenient for mass low-cost production, and the bottle should be engraved with the four words of Yaoxian perfume, and the size and handwriting of the engraved words should be completely consistent, and it is best to use a copper medal to mark it.

Jiang Wei retreated with the perfume bottle in his hand, and Xia Ji didn't know whether this thing could be successfully imitated, after all, there was a lack of production conditions for fine processing in ancient times.

A few days later, Jiang Wei brought the perfume bottle made by the craftsman to report, saying that the perfume bottle was made, which surprised Xia Ji.

Xia Ji took a look, it was actually a delicate perfume bottle made of bronze, the parts were also made of copper, the small parts that were easy to rust were directly made of gold, and the soft rubber gasket inside was made of sheepskin by the clever craftsman, and the four words of Yaoxian perfume were actually made of wrong gold after the copper medal was printed with the wrong gold process, and the four golden words were beautiful and atmospheric against the bronze.

Xia Ji admired these skilled craftsmen and asked Jiang Weidao: "Jiang Wei, have you ever asked, if you make a lot of these bottles, how much will it cost?"

"I asked back to Mrs. Hui. The bottle itself is made of copper and gold, plus handiwork, and one needs a tael of gold. Jiang Wei replied.

Xia Ji thought about it, took out ten taels of gold as a deposit, and asked Jiang Wei to make another twenty, and then pay another ten taels of gold when he was done.

A few days later, Jiang Wei informed him that the perfume bottle had been made, and Xia Ji took out ten taels of gold and asked him to pay the balance and get back the twenty delicate gilt copper perfume bottles.

Natsuki cleans these perfume bottles and fills them with perfume for later use.

made into a perfume, Xia Ji also had a heart.

Although Xia Ji lives a leisurely life in Haomeng Palace, she has a faint feeling of uneasiness when she stays in the city of Xinzheng, and as time goes by, this uneasiness seems to accumulate every day, and it is flourishing day by day.

Xia Ji knows very well in her heart that this uneasiness stems from her own identity: she has replaced Princess Ji Shao by mistake, and in this city, there are still people who know that they are not Princess Ji Shao, which is a possible detonation for herself.

Xia Ji called Haitang over and said to her in a chatting way: "Haitang, you have been in Xinzheng for so many days, do you want to revisit the old place and go to Yayun Pavilion to play?" ”

Haitang hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't think much about it, I just wanted to take a look curiously." She didn't know what the hostess was testing her.

"Do you have any good friends in Yayun Pavilion, it's the kind of thing that doesn't talk about anything."

"Back to Mrs., I have a friend named Osmanthus, we are close and have nothing to say, but because I have been away from Yayun Pavilion for more than half a year, I don't know if she is still in Yayun Pavilion."

"You probably won't be able to enter Yayun Pavilion now, right?"

"If you go back to Mrs., if you have something, you can still find her. Besides, although I was kicked out of the Yayun Pavilion for offending the guests, the bustard didn't hate me. ”

Xia Ji took out five bottles of perfume and said to Begonia, "Begonia, I'll give you a task, you and Xia Chan will go to Yayun Pavilion and try to sell this perfume, a bottle of perfume is five taels of gold." You go to meet your friends and ask all the things about the Autumn Moon Girl and the Bustard Niang, but neither you nor Xia Chan can reveal that you are working for Princess Ji Shao, you can only say that you are working for a perfume shop called Yao Xian. As he spoke, he called Xia Chan over and told them how to use the perfume bottle, and told them that after using the perfume, they could replenish the perfume from the empty bottle, as long as one or two gold replenishments once.

Xia Ji explained to Xia Chan alone, asking her to find a chance to chat with the bustard mother alone, and to see what the bustard mother said because she was the maid of Princess Ji Shao a few years ago and had nothing to do because the princess got married.
