Chapter 172: Everything is Ready, and the East Wind is Missing
Ji Sanniang and the others finished eating first, said hello to Fu Xiaojiu and left, and Ji Erzhu said goodbye to them very politely.
But no matter how polite he is, he is also a relative of Fu Xiaojiu's opponent, and Fu Xiaojiu is somewhat alienated from Ji Erzhu.
Seeing them gone, Wan Pozi was still a little annoyed, "If we knew that he was Ji Sanniang's second uncle, how good would it be for us to send him directly to Ji Sanniang's house, we didn't know about Crystal Orchid, and we wouldn't be so troublesome." ”
Wan Pozi wanted to say something, but Old Man Wan secretly kicked her under the table.
Wan Pozi closed her mouth at this time, afraid that Fu Xiaojiu should be blocked in her heart if she said anything more.
"Mother, it's okay, you can say whatever you want. I already know what she's doing with Crystal Orchid, and I'm feeling better. I'm sure you'll soon know the recipe for the autumn cream. ”
Fu Xiaojiu's mood was indeed a lot better, seeing that the fish soup had bottomed out, Fu Xiaojiu knew that everyone was full, and said to Wan Pozi and them: "Let's go home too, don't think about Ji Erzhu anymore." ”
Wan Pozi saw that Fu Xiaojiu could think about it, and heard Fu Xiaojiu say that she was going to study the formula of autumn water cream, Wan Pozi was not depressed, and immediately followed Fu Xiaojiu with full of fighting spirit.
When he got home, Fu Xiaojiu went into the lower room, where all the medicinal herbs were in stock, and Fu Xiaojiu wanted to try to study the ingredients of the autumn water cream first.
The autumn water is frosty and white and moist, and the taste is fresh, whether you use it or smell it, it can bring people a good feeling.
Fu Xiaojiu first listed the formula she guessed based on the autumn water cream, and after the raw materials were almost prepared, Fu Xiaojiu found that the existing formula was not enough to prepare the autumn water cream.
And Fu Xiaojiu also thought of a question, there is only one point of crystal orchid, and it is impossible for Ji Sanniang to make only a few bottles of autumn water cream at a time, so how did she use so much crystal orchid to make enough autumn water cream to sell for two or three months?
Fu Xiaojiu pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of how to make dozens of bottles of autumn water cream with a little crystal orchid, but she still had to prepare things to experiment to be sure.
Considering that the time was not early, Fu Xiaojiu decided to go home tomorrow to study the experiment she had in mind.
Everything in Fu Xiaojiu's medical clinic has returned to the right track, and there is now another mask project, and the business is simply not too good.
Zhegui Zhen Mask has a feature, it has obvious effects after using it once, and people who came to buy masks yesterday have a lot of repurchases today.
Contrary to Fu Xiaojiu's store, in Ji Sanniang's shop, most of the people who have used the Guizhen film no longer think about buying expensive autumn cream.
Ji Sanniang's fat powder shop is full of birds at the front door, even if the two girls who sell the goods are hoarse, no one comes to buy autumn water cream, and the people who come in are just here to buy rouge gouache.
What's even more infuriating is that even if these people come to buy autumn water frost, they still sneer at Ji Sanniang, although they didn't say it so obviously, Ji Sanniang could hear it.
If it weren't for the profit of rouge gouache, Ji Sanniang would have been unable to swallow this breath a long time ago.
"You guys take a good look at the shop, I'll go home."
Ji Sanniang left with a stomach full of anger.
She only used the mask that Fu Xiaojiu sold her, and the rest was enough for her to study the formula.
Objectively speaking, Ji Sanniang's skin is already good, and she has been using autumn cream for a long time, so the effect of Zheguizhen film peeling is not very obvious to her.
But the Guizhen mask is just applied to the face for a while and then washed off, which can keep the skin moisturized, which makes Ji Sanniang very amazing.
Ji Sanniang vowed that she must develop the formula of the mask and completely defeat Fu Xiaojiu.
After Ji Erzhu sent the crystal orchid to Ji Sanniang, he went back this morning.
Ji Sanniang told him that he wanted to get more crystal orchids, and Ji Erzhu said that it was difficult to do, but he still agreed, telling Ji Sanniang that he would definitely be able to bring more crystal orchids when he came next time.
When the Guizhen film was on sale, Ji Sanniang was immersed in studying the ingredients of the Zhengui film at home, but she studied it for a day, and she didn't find out what the ingredients of the Zhengui film were.
It's not that Ji Sanniang is stupid, but the ingredients of rouge gouache are mostly plants, not medicinal materials, and the proportion is not as rigorous as that of medicinal materials.
Ji Sanniang had never been exposed to skin care products with pure medicinal materials, so she was very frustrated, and felt inferior to others for the first time.
Fu Xiaojiu returned home after a busy day and conducted a simple experiment with the existing equipment at home.
Even if she didn't have a crystal orchid in her hand, Fu Xiaojiu didn't rush to get angry, she used roselle as a substitute, and distilled to refine the hydrosol of roselle.
The hydrosol is the essence of roselle, and five or six roselles can be refined into a palm-sized bottle of hydrosol.
If you are making roselle cream, you only need to drop a few drops of hydrosol into the material, and the cream can get the essence of roselle, which has a good effect.
Fu Xiaojiu confirmed that Ji Sanniang made a large amount of autumn water cream with a small amount of crystal orchid in this way, Fu Xiaojiu seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and regretted that he had not discovered this wonderful use of crystal orchid earlier.
Not only that, Fu Xiaojiu has relied on his years of experience in herbal research, and has cracked all the ingredients of the autumn water cream, as long as he gets the crystal orchid, Fu Xiaojiu has the confidence to make a cream that is exactly the same as Ji Sanniang's autumn water cream.
Fu Xiaojiu also found that the cost of autumn water cream is indeed not cheap, if you add crystal orchid, autumn water cream should indeed be sold for four taels or five taels of silver a bottle.
"With just the crystal orchid, I can concoct the autumn water cream. But where do you find the crystal orchid? ”
This really made Fu Xiaojiu worried.
At this time, it was already late at night, Wan Pozi and they were all asleep, and when Fu Xiaojiu was going down to the house to worry, he suddenly heard movement outside.
Fu Xiaojiu tensed his nerves and walked cautiously to the door with an oil lamp, afraid that as soon as he opened the door, there was a man in black standing outside with a long knife.
"Lady!"
Wan Lin's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and Fu Xiaojiu was still stunned.
"Xianggong?"
Fu Xiaojiu heard Wan Lin's voice, and his hanging heart could be regarded as in his stomach.
Fu Xiaojiu opened the door and saw Wan Lin wearing a coat, holding an oil lamp in one hand and a shovel in the other.
"What are you doing here?" Fu Xiaojiu asked curiously.
Wan Lin whispered, "I went to the backyard just now." Are you done? When you're done, come with me to the backyard! ”
"I'm done, let's go."
Fu Xiaojiu followed Wan Lin to the backyard with a question mark in his heart, but unfortunately the oil lamp could only illuminate the ground near them, and it was dark in the distance, and he couldn't see anything.
"Xianggong, what are you bringing me to the backyard in the middle of the night?" Fu Xiaojiu still didn't understand Wanlin's operation.
Wan Lin carefully put the shovel on the ground, then pulled Fu Xiaojiu to squat down, and said nervously: "Look at these soils." ”
Wan Lin said, bringing the oil lamp close to the ground, and Fu Xiaojiu also put the oil lamp in his hand towards the ground.
After Fu Xiaojiu looked at the ground, he let out an incredible exclamation, "God, these soils seem to be ...... Someone dug up? ”
Wan Lin nodded affirmatively, "According to my calculations, when our backyard was dug up, it was the time for us to go back to our hometown!" ”
"What?" Fu Xiaojiu's eyes widened suddenly, and he felt that this matter must not be simple, "Could it be that there are other meteorites buried in our backyard?" ”
Wan Lin nodded and said, "The lady guessed well, the people who dug our backyard must have come for meteorite." Is the meteorite you used to press the bag still there? ”
"It's still there. If that piece of meteorite is taken away, won't it be too obvious that our family has entered the thief? ”
After Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, a chill ran in his heart.
Wan Lin took Fu Xiaojiu's hand, looked at the land in the distance and said, "Since our backyard has been rummaged through, our house is safe now." Don't worry, no one will come to our backyard in the future. ”
Fu Xiaojiu was still a little worried, "Could it be that there are still a lot of meteorites buried in our backyard, but they have all been dug up?" ”
"Yes. And I seem to already know who that person is. ”
After Wan Lin finished speaking, he looked at Fu Xiaojiu.
The flame of the oil lamp trembled and jumped in Wan Lin's deep dark eyes, reflecting Wan Lin's eyes mysteriously.
Fu Xiaojiu looked at Wan Lin's mesmerizing eyes and couldn't help but gasp.
"Are you talking about...... He? ”
Wan Lin's gaze suddenly became sharp, and he said cautiously: "Who else can there be besides him?" If you want to build meteorite weapons in large quantities, you must not be in one place, otherwise it will be too attention-grabbing, especially the attention of the government. That's why he said he would be gone for a few months before he came back. ”
"Who the hell is he?" Fu Xiaojiu felt that the hairs on his body stood up.
Wan Lin said slowly: "He must be an eagle dog who works for a certain senior member of the court!" The battle for the heir in the court is surging, and his chess piece may have reached the time to be activated. ”
"Will he come back?" Fu Xiaojiu asked worriedly.
Wan Lin hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know either." I want him back, and I don't want him back. ”
Fu Xiaojiu was puzzled, "Xianggong, what do you mean by this?" ”
Wan Lin patiently explained: "Because if he comes back, the county may lose its former stability, but he will be safe." But if he doesn't come back, there are two possibilities. Either they have made great achievements, or they have completely disappeared from this world. ”
Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help asking, "What about Ji Sanniang?" Just waiting for him? Or did she already know what the outcome would be and was prepared for a long time? ”
Wan Lin shook his head and did not speak.
Fu Xiaojiu's mood was inexplicably a little heavy, "Is this the reason why he is reluctant to marry Ji Sanniang?" Is he afraid that he will delay Ji Sanniang? ”
"Okay, let's stop worrying about it here. For the magnates and strife in the capital, we are insignificant ants. Let's live our lives. ”
Wan Lin helped Fu Xiaojiu stand up, "Don't tell your father and mother about the things that have been tossed in the backyard, let's rot this in our stomachs." ”
Fu Xiaojiu frowned slightly, "But won't my father and mother find out when they dig potatoes?" ”
