Chapter 147: The Twelve Hairpins of Jinling

As a big family with business as the foundation of the business, there is really not much leisure for entertainment during the New Year, starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, the shops belonging to the Han family have gradually opened for business, and the Han family has no other principals, there are always such and such trivial matters pestering Han Fei.

The Han family has a farm outside the city, mainly a new pharmaceutical workshop and several warehouses for storing goods, as for the harvest in the few fields, Han Fei really didn't care, those were all handed over to the housekeeper Lin Fu to take care of.

As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, someone came to Suzhou, this time not only Du Liang and Du Lan brother and sister, but also Du Yun's second son Du Wei. Du Wei and Du Lan are twin siblings, oh, Han Fei really can't see which of the two is older, however, Du Lan insisted that he was older, Du Liang and Du Wei did not object, even if she was older.

Although Du Wei is a few months younger than Han Fei, he has already obtained the qualification of a student, and this time he came to Jinling to prepare for the township examination in August. Well, it seems that he came a little too early, and Han Fei didn't care what his mentor Master Du Yun thought, since the little junior brother was here, he had to receive him well, and specially arranged a small cross-courtyard for him to live in Wen Shu, and discuss his homework with him in his spare time.

After getting along for a long time, Han Fei probably understood what his mentor Du Yun meant. Compared with his twin sister Du Lan, Du Wei's personalities can be said to be two extremes. Du Lan is lively and active, chattering all day long, and there is no quiet time, and Du Wei's personality is the opposite, to put it bluntly, he is an otaku nerd, who sits in the room all day reading and practicing calligraphy, no one calls, he doesn't go out a single step.

No wonder he won the fame of Xiucai at such a young age. Han Fei estimated that his mentor Du Yun couldn't stand Du Wei's personality anymore, so he sent him to Jinling, hoping to change under Han Fei's influence.

Han Fei understood his teacher's intentions and tried to take his junior brother out for activities, but after a few times, he was completely discouraged. Du Wei's guy is not attractive to anything other than his interest in books. For this reason, he even wanted to send Du Wei into the Qinglou for renovation, but thinking of Du Lan's vicious gaze, he instantly dispelled this idea.

"Senior sister, why didn't you call Senior Brother Wei to have dinner together?" Almost every time he eats, Han Fei has to say this.

"Don't pay attention to him, he's just a little stubborn, he doesn't want to eat at the same table with his girlfriends at home, and even his father can't help him!" Duran said angrily.

Han Fei said with relief: "Senior Brother Wei is diligent and studious, and he is extraordinary, next year's big competition in the capital, maybe the Du family will have another champion!" ”

"My brother's talent is good, and my father also said that if nothing happens, there should be no problem in taking the Jinshi exam, but it is impossible to be a champion!" Du Lan stared at Han Fei and said: "My brother has bad luck, he met you in the same department, during the Chinese New Year, my father said at home that only you can fight for the champion!" ”

"The teacher is in love, I don't dare to have such thoughts!"

Han Fei didn't want to talk more about this issue, so he hurriedly took a few bites of food, and said to Li Xiangjun, who had already eaten: "Xiangjun wait and come with me, oh, and Yinxin, let Lan'er and Wanniang serve in Ruolan's room in the future, and Yinxin will assist Xiangjun in managing the perfume manufacturing matters!" ”

"Senior brother, can you let me go with me?" Duran hurriedly stood up and said.

"No, everyone is only responsible for the things that have been arranged, and they can't be mixed up with pleasure!"

Although Han Fei is usually easy-going, he is also very strict with the rules that should be taught in the house. Seeing that Du Lan's face was a little unnatural, he slowed down his tone and said, "Senior sister, I know you like perfumes, and when the perfume is produced, I will let you choose your favorite fragrance first!" ”

"Really?" Du Lan's face suddenly turned cloudy, and he said in surprise: "Senior brother, don't talk doesn't count!" ”

"Of course, the best perfume will be used by our family first!"

Han Fei suddenly thought of something, and said: "Senior sister, I have an important matter for you and Miss Baochai, you are all good at lady painting, draw twelve ladies as soon as possible!" ”

"If my sister's drawing skills are better than mine......"

"She's busy with the affairs of the women's store, she doesn't have that effort, you and Miss Baochai are in the editorial department of the civil declaration, just think about it together!"

"Okay, senior brother, why do you want twelve pictures of ladies?"

Han Fei pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay to tell you first, these twelve pictures of ladies, I am going to name them the twelve hairpins of Jinling, each hairpin represents a fine perfume, and the twelve are synthesized into a gift box package, which will be the Oiran in our perfume!" ”

Duran was overjoyed: "I see, okay, we will come up with the pattern as soon as possible!" Senior brother, you will have to give me a few boxes of these twelve golden hairpin perfumes at that time! ”

Han Fei's face turned green suddenly, and he lamented: "Senior sister, these twelve hairpin perfumes can't produce a few boxes a year, if you all want a few boxes, you won't be able to change them if you slaughter me!" ”

"Hmph, I don't care, at least give me a box!" Seeing Han Fei's pitiful look, Duran held back a smile and said.

"Okay, well, one box per person, well, don't reveal this news, if your relatives and friends are clamoring for it, we won't be able to produce so much!"

The perfume project has been planned by Han Fei for a long time, and he is ready to be the main product launched this year, and he is now taking Li Xiangjun and Yinxin out to arrange the preliminary preparations.

After Liu Rushi, Li Xiangjun, and Gu Hengbo were taken back to the Han Mansion by Wang Ruolan, the house in the east of the city was vacant again, and Han Fei carried out internal renovation according to the original plan at the end of last year, preparing to be used as a perfume production workshop. According to his idea, Li Xiangjun was in charge of the production and sales of perfumes, and Yin Xin was responsible for managing the workshop full-time.

In fact, it is best to manage the perfume workshop with men, after all, most of the guys to face are men, but the perfume preparation is first and foremost confidential, and there are too few henchmen available in the Han Mansion.

Li Xiangjun has not come back to see the house in the east of the city since he left it, and when he came in today, he didn't know him at all, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Childe, how did this place become like this?" ”

Han Fei said with a smile: "In the future, as a perfume production workshop, this place will naturally be rebuilt, and I brought you here today to familiarize myself with the environment here and the functions of each block." The front is used as the primary processing area, which is required to be loosened, the finishing area in the middle, and the core preparation area in the back, must strictly implement confidentiality measures, everyone must be certified to work, and only after getting permission to enter and exit, the formula of the perfume is in charge of the two of you, and you must not tell anyone, even if Ruolan asks, it can't be! ”

"The concubine (slave) obeys!" Li Xiangjun and Yin Xin both knew the importance of the matter, and immediately agreed.

After visiting all the facilities, Li Xiangjun asked, "Childe, when will the production of perfume begin?" ”

"This has to wait for the flowers and plants to bloom, after mid-February, you can first equip the staff, do the preliminary work, oh, you can distill the high alcohol out and prepare it first!"

"Childe, the concubine has seen the perfume production process, and there are three important links: the refining of essential oils of flowers and plants, the distillation of high alcohol and the final blending."

"There is no special mystery in the refining of alcohol, and the refining and final blending of essential oils is the key to the key, which is directly related to the quality of perfume. These three points are the secrets that we must keep, and they are related to the money bags of our Han family's descendants, so we must be cautious! ”
