Chapter 14 Raw Materials for the Making of Rouge
"Since Miss Zixuan is full of sincerity, then Ben Shao will lead the way in front. Mu Lingyun said briskly.
"Miss Zixuan, Wang Hu has taken a step in advance, so don't pass by. Wang Hu clasped his hands into fists and said politely.
"Since Wang Gongzi has something, please take care of yourself. Zixuan politely returned the salute.
After Qinglian led the horse and hummed, Zixuan and Mu Lingyun walked side by side to Mu Mansion together.
After a while, he came to the Mu Mansion, and Mu Zhengyang held a banquet to wash the dust for the daughter from the Zi family.
After the meal, Mu Zhengyang ordered someone to call Steward Zhang to discuss the matter of red and blue flowers with Zixuan.
Regarding the land cultivation area of red and blue flowers, the Mu family is slightly larger than the Wang family, but it only accounts for one-fifth of the Zhao family, the city lord's mansion.
Zixuan has already negotiated with the Wang family, and the Wang family will send someone to deliver the goods in the near future, to Quhe City, a transit station hundreds of miles away, where there is the Zi family's storage base, and then the Zi family will personally send it to the holy city for sale.
Steward Zhang took Zixuan to the planting site to check the growth, color, quality and other related conditions of the red and blue flowers, and finally formulated the purchase price.
Mu Lingyun also wanted to see for a long time, so he took Qiu Xiang to accompany him, and met many homeless people along the way, some of whom recognized Mu Lingyun, and hurriedly bowed down with gratitude.
"Mu Gongzi, why are there so many homeless people sleeping in the wilderness. Zixuan asked curiously.
"This year's drought, most of these displaced people fled from other places, some time ago Ben Shao opened a warehouse to release grain, relieved some of the displaced people, but there are too many displaced people, Ben Shao is also more than enough and not enough. Mu Lingyun said helplessly.
"Oh, yes, I can't see that Mu Gongzi is still a warm-hearted person, but this girl can't see the suffering of the people, Mu Gongzi takes this money to help those displaced people. Zi Xuan Yi Bo Yun Tian said.
"That's a good feeling, thank you Miss Zixuan for the gift, Ben Shao is here to thank Miss Zixuan for those homeless people. Mu Lingyun said gratefully.
With a heavy bag of gold coins in his hand, there must be hundreds of them, and the big family really made a bold and domineering move.
Steward Zhang glanced at the bag of gold coins, his heart was dripping blood at this time, if it wasn't for Mu Lingyun to accompany him, the bag of gold coins should be in his hands at this time.
Half an hour later, everyone was talking and laughing, and soon came to the place where the red and blue flowers were planted.
I saw the red and blue flowers blooming all over the mountains, swaying with the wind, like a wave, surging wave after wave, exuding a refreshing fragrance of flowers, the planting area of this red and blue flower, Zhang said that there are hundreds of acres.
"The red and blue flowers of your Mu family, with thick roots and large leaves, have a strong fragrance, not bad, Miss Rongben will go down to check it out in person. Zixuan said appreciatively.
"Girl, please, in terms of price, when the girl finishes checking, we will agree." Steward Zhang said politely.
Outside the red and blue flower planting area is a vast wasteland, overgrown with lush weeds and wildflowers.
"Why don't you open these wastelands and plant red and blue flowers or grains? Mu Lingyun asked puzzled.
"The young master doesn't know that this red and blue flower has very strict requirements for the soil, and not all land can be planted. Steward Zhang explained the reason.
"Oh, what about the grain, can't it be planted too? Mu Lingyun then asked.
"This, the old slave doesn't know very well, our Mu family has a lot of fertile land, and there is no need to spend manpower and financial resources to reclaim wasteland. Steward Zhang replied truthfully.
Ben Shao had an idea, rather than letting it go waste, it would be better to give it to those displaced people to plant, first, the wasteland will become fertile land, and the displaced people can also solve the problem of food and clothing, and second, it can stabilize the people's hearts and prevent the homeless people from accumulating grievances and riots. Mu Lingyun said the beautiful vision in his heart.
"Young master's words can be regarded as talking about the old slave's heart, the homeless riot is quite terrible, the old slave has experienced it before, and he still has palpitations, but the old man's temper, young master, you don't know it.
Even though this is wasteland, it is also land belonging to the Mu family, the lord will not agree with the young master and give these lands to those homeless people, the old slave persuaded the young master to die of this heart, do not challenge the lord's bottom line. Steward Zhang persuaded bitterly.
Mu Lingyun and Qiu Xiang looked at each other and smiled bitterly, knowing that this was the end, but he would not give up easily and decided to give it a go in the future.
At the time of tea, Zixuan walked out of the planting field, and Steward Zhang stepped forward with a smile on his face.
Next, it is to enter the stage of bargaining, which is the specialty of Steward Zhang, this red and blue flower prepaid in advance, good quality is worth a good price, and the deposit will naturally rise.
The red and blue flowers also need to carry out a highly technical processing, before they can be sold, the practice of rouge, according to the memory of the original owner, is to pick the red and blue flowers, put them into the stone mortar in the mallet, remove the yellow pigment in the petals, leaving only red is also called red, that is, into bright rouge.
Soon, the price was agreed, and looking at the wrinkles on Steward Zhang's face, stretched into a blooming golden chrysanthemum, he knew that he had negotiated a good price.
In the backyard of Mu Mansion, Mu Zhengyang was staying in the pavilion with an angry face, and he knew that it was the wasteland without asking.
At this time, that Zixuan had already left satisfied, and it was the best time to reprimand Mu Lingyun.
If that Zixuan hadn't left, Mu Zhengyang wouldn't have changed his face and become angry when he took care of his face, but unfortunately that Zixuan left too fast, so Mu Lingyun's reprimand came in advance.
Steward Zhang took Mu Lingyun through a tortuous corridor, and he could see Mu Zhengyang's tall and majestic figure from afar, looking at the clear spring under the corridor, Mu Lingyun almost jumped down impulsively,
But he didn't do that, because he couldn't swim, and jumping not only would not escape accountability, but he might even lose his life.
Three days later, the Huangdang Lin Qingguo Waterfall, which is more than ten miles away from the Mu family, is one of the five steep waterfalls in the local area.
The flying stream went straight down to 3,000 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way fell for nine days, this is the poem that Mu Lingyun learned on the earth, and the steepness of the waterfall is perfectly described, which is wonderful.
Of course, although this Qingguo Waterfall does not reach 3,000 feet, it is a 100-zhang mountain, and the water flows down from above, and its impact is also very huge.
Even if a strong grouper cow stands under this waterfall, it can't last too long, and it will die.
Mu Lingyun stood on the edge of the waterfall and did not rush in, unless he didn't want to die, when the golden body law phase iron skin chapter was completed, he used this waterfall to test the strength of the physical body, to see if it was an orthodox body forging technique, if so, he would definitely be able to resist the huge impact of this waterfall.
While Mu Lingyun was standing on the edge of the waterfall in contemplation, a group of people came from the dense forest, led by Mu Zhengyang, Chen Haiquan, Steward Zhang, and Qiu Xiang, followed by eight strong men, carrying a sturdy snowflake deer.
"Yun'er, if you really want to cultivate here for another month, the conditions outside are difficult, but they are not as difficult as at home. Mu Zhengyang said with concern.
"Yes, Dad, I have decided that I will never go home until I make some achievements, the life at home is too comfortable, it is easy to make people inert, and the child must hone his will again. Mu Lingyun said firmly.
