Chapter 217: Fragrance

In the next few days, nothing happened, Meng Xiaoran helped Chen Jingfeng clean up all kinds of precious medicinal materials he collected from the mountains, he pulled out all the flowers and plants planted in the yard, and the entire courtyard was planted with various medicinal materials.

This courtyard has successfully become a medicine garden again, Meng Xiaoran said casually, Chen Jingfeng felt very good when he heard it, so he immediately asked people to find a plaque and write the word "medicine garden" on it.

Shen Qian takes care of things every day, if he doesn't find Meng Xiaoran in the leisurely courtyard, he will come to this medicine garden, watching his own lady follow Chen Jingfeng to serve the herbs in the courtyard, he began to be displeased, feeling sorry for her being too tired, and thinking about finding some people to do.

But Meng Xiaoran didn't follow, she pointed to a yard of medicinal herbs that had been planted half of it and said to him: "These are all planted by me and my eldest brother, just because we don't want to fake the hands of others, we make it ourselves, and watching these medicinal materials grow up in the future, it must be very rewarding, you won't understand." ”

Shen Qian was speechless for a while, and thought that she had nothing to do here alone, if she didn't let her take care of these medicinal herbs again, I was afraid that she would be anxious with herself, but seeing that his wife was rolling up her sleeves and doing things, how could he rest as a big man?

So he also learned from Meng Xiaoran, let people prepare a short clothes, and after finishing their official duties every day, they came to the medicine garden to follow them to busy, and there was more personal help, and the work was done much faster, but in four or five days, Chen Jingfeng's yard was full, leaving only a bluestone path leading to the inner courtyard.

Shen Qian shook his head as he looked at the medicinal herbs in the courtyard, and said to Chen Jingfeng: "I'll let someone open up a rich soil for you in the back mountain, so let's make your medicine mountain, how about it?" ”

No matter how big the courtyard was, it was not enough for Chen Jingfeng to play, as soon as he heard Shen Qian's words, his eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded and said, "Okay!" Why didn't I think of this, I still need a large plot of land, otherwise how can I grow these good medicinal herbs in patches? ”

After that, he finally stopped, and when he had free time the brother and sister began to ponder those beauty balms, there is no need to say that the jade paste was declared because the Shen family paid tribute to the palace, and because the former prime minister did not hesitate to get a bottle of jade paste with ten thousand taels of gold, this jade paste has long been famous among the people and has been rumored to be amazing.

Meng Xiaoran has already planned it, this jade cream will be used as the treasure of the town store in this store at that time, limited supply, Yunzhou is rich, and the most important thing is the rich people, and their price cannot be set at 10,000 taels of gold like the previous one to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can appropriately reduce one or two precious medicinal materials, and set the price lower, so that the rich people are willing to buy it.

There are also other beauty creams, and even fragrance lotions, Meng Xiaoran has also seen Chen Jingfeng refining medicinal materials before, and found that he already has a very advanced distillation equipment, although it is not as good as modern ones, but it is already very good, and after asking, he learned that Shen Qian bought it for him from Fanbang for a lot of money.

Meng Xiaoran knew that Fanbang must be a modern foreign country, but he didn't expect that people's technology was already so advanced in this era, which was really emotional.

Since there is this thing, Meng Xiaoran has a way to extract the fragrance of various flowers, of course, it is impossible to stay as long-lasting as modern perfume fragrances, but at least it can be kept for an hour or two, and then this rich lady will definitely flock to it, because the current way for people to leave fragrance on their bodies is only to bathe with flower petals, and the fragrance will be gone after a while.

Meng Xiaoran wrote down all the thoughts in her head, she planned to define her store as a high-end brand, aimed at the ladies and ladies of wealthy families, all the products were not too cheap, and they used all kinds of medicinal materials to beautify the skin, so her store should be a drugstore.

In this way, she even thought of the name, the Meng family drugstore, now the Shen family is no longer an imperial businessman, and it can't be too eye-catching, she originally wanted to call Chen's drugstore, but Chen Jingfeng insisted on refusing to let it, saying that he couldn't disobey the teacher's orders, and in the end the drugstore could only be named after her surname, and Chen Jingfeng accounted for half of the shares.

After all the ideas were good, the two began to experiment, and the balsams were easy to make, because Chen Jingfeng had experience, but he had never done this fragrance before, so he had to try it.

Yunzhou city is like spring all year round, the most important thing here is flowers, Meng Xiaoran let the azalea lily and a few girls go to the back garden to pick a lot of roses, this flower is similar to modern roses, the smell is similar, and the refinement should be similar to the rose fragrance.

The two tried many times in the room, and experienced many failures over and over again, and finally made the first rose fragrance five days later, Meng Xiaoran took a small porcelain bottle and filled several bottles, and returned to the courtyard to give each of the four girls a bottle, so that they could smell it.

The cuckoo and the lily opened the lid of the small porcelain bottle and smelled a fragrance, and then they came closer and smelled it, it was fragrant, "Master, this is really fragrant, much more fragrant than flowers!" Lily said with a look of surprise on her face, and after speaking, she leaned closer and sniffed hard.

Meng Xiaoran just asked the four of them to try it, so he said to them with a smile: "The four of you pour out some perfume and apply it to your wrists and behind your ears, and you will watch it for me, how long will this fragrance last, and then come and report to me." ”

The cuckoo and the others immediately received the order, they all knew that the master had been studying all kinds of balsam recently, and they were afraid that this thing was also something to be made, so they naturally did not dare to slack off.

In the evening, the four girls came to report, and the cuckoo was the first to speak, "Master, this fragrant dew slave went back to apply it as soon as she got it in the morning, and according to the master's instructions, it was applied on the wrist and behind the ear, and the fragrance has always been there, but every once in a while the smell will change somewhat, about two hours later, the slave and maid smelled it, and there was a faint fragrance, but it was not as obvious as at the beginning, and after three hours, the fragrance was gone." ”

Meng Xiaoran just wanted them to record the time that the fragrance could last, but she didn't expect the cuckoo to be so careful, and she kept observing, she was a little surprised by this, but she was also very satisfied, maybe the cuckoo could also come in handy in the future, looking at her appearance, she seemed to be very interested in the fragrance.

"Very good, tomorrow you will go and pick some fresh petals and come back, and I will tell you to go down later, and let the girls in the villa go with you." Meng Xiaoran asked with a smile.

In order to experiment, most of the petals they picked back were wasted, and she needed to pick some more, and she had some ideas, but she had to need Shen Qian's help.

Later, when Shen Qian came back from the study, Meng Xiaoran told her what he thought, Shen Qian raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Do you want people to buy dozens of more utensils for refining medicinal materials?" ”

The appliance in his mouth is the distillation equipment, Meng Xiaoran nodded, "If we really put this fragrance into the store in the future and start selling it, I'm afraid there will be a lot of demand, if only the eldest brother is definitely not enough, and the eldest brother can't be busy, I also plan to pick a few clever girls to come out, and I will teach them personally." ”

She plans to study carefully for a while, after all, she can't forever trap Chen Jingfeng, a miracle doctor, in making fragrance, he also has his own hobbies and careers, fortunately, she is also very interested in it, so she learned so quickly, and when the time comes to train a group of girls to come out, their fragrance production will be on a large scale.

Meng Xiaoran already had a vision and plan for the future, and her business talent made Shen Qian feel impressed again and again, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I should have discovered your ability in this area at the beginning, and it seems more suitable to keep you by your side to be my military than to do internal affairs." ”

Meng Xiaoran couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she also felt strange, for some reason she suddenly became particularly interested in doing business, in the past, for the sake of livelihood, she didn't feel that since she came to Yunzhou and lived a comfortable life, the thoughts in her heart became more and more prominent, but she didn't think she had any talent, her ideas were all standing on the shoulders of giants, so many successful cases in modern times, even if she didn't study economics, she had a lot of ears and eyes, and now she was just thinking ahead.

"Marry a chicken and a dog and marry a dog, I married you, a big profiteer, so naturally I have to take responsibility, and it is also my duty to help my husband solve problems." Meng Xiaoran said this deliberately, she may not have noticed that since she married Shen Qian, the whole person has changed a lot, less cold and arrogant, and more warm and playful, which also makes Shen Qian happy.

He loves her playful appearance the most, and after she said this and deliberately winked at him, he became hot almost instantly, Meng Xiaoran was picked up by him unprepared, and she patted him with some disgust, "What are you doing?" Scared to death. ”

Shen Qian smiled evilly, the heat in his eyes made Meng Xiaoran's heart palpitate for a while, "It's late at night, so naturally I will go to bed with my mother, and I will talk about other things tomorrow." As he spoke, he hugged her and walked to the intersection, and the night had just begun......

Shen Qian was very efficient in doing things, and on the second day, he asked Qingfeng to send a letter and let people go to Fanbang to buy the utensils, but that thing was bought by chance a few years ago, and I don't know if there are any more now, but for Shen Qian, these are not important, as long as his daughter-in-law wants it, he will find it for her anyway.

At the same time, Meng Xiaoran also found Qingfeng, and asked him to go to the city to find some girls who knew some medical skills for him to come back, Qingfeng didn't know what was going on, today the son and his wife are looking for him to do things, he has been hiding in the courtyard for the past few days to copy scriptures, the whole person is going crazy, suddenly he had an idea, his eyes rolled, and then he looked at Meng Xiaoran with a pleading face and said:

"Madam, a few days ago, because I sent you a letter privately, Childe punished me to copy the Vajra Mantra a hundred times......" Qingfeng was actually a little embarrassed, he scratched his head, thinking that it seemed that only Madame could help him, so he gritted his teeth and continued: "Qingfeng is most afraid of writing in this life, can Madame plead with Childe for me for the sake of sending you a letter, Childe listens to Madame's words the most, and will definitely be able to spare me." ”
