Following Liu's words, Gu Erzhu mentioned that he was going to entertain the Zhao family the day after tomorrow, and he hurriedly talked about one more thing that Zhao Laosan mentioned today.

Several candles that I brought to Zhao Laosan in Fucheng before, after the Zhao family's own use or gifting, got the most popular results of red incense candles.

Zhou Banxia nodded to show that he knew and could understand, the product was novel, the aroma was long-lasting, and he was not worried about not being welcomed by the market, and the key was the spices that made incense.

Now she has been hoarding spices and herbs such as chicken tongue, sandalwood, agarwood, thatch, jatamansi, herb leaves, peppermint, angelica, and white aconite.

Even flowers.

In addition to the fact that flowers are affected by the season, inconvenient to transport, not conducive to hoarding and other factors, all kinds of dried flowers that can make incense are also being hoarded as much as possible.

However, if you want to expand the production of fragrance products, you have to go to Zhending Mansion next, and in the short term, the incense workshop can only meet the needs of the fragrant pancreas that has doubled its output.

Zhou Banxia thought about his own incense making workshop according to the traditional craft method.

The first process of cutting, pounding, grinding and grinding is not a process that must be guarded against, but steaming, boiling, frying, broiling, cannoning, roasting and water flying, because each process must control the heat, adding different auxiliary materials, is a crucial confidential link, and it is indeed urgent in the short term.

Although each process has been separated, and the servants who have pinched the deeds of sale for these processes, the time is short, and it will take three or two months at the earliest for this group of people to become proficient.

After three or two months, it is possible to bring the old with the new, and add the first batch of credible people, in addition to expanding production, it can also develop and produce other new fragrances.

"For now, let them refine the wax oil first, or wait, and when Brother Liulang comes back from the examination, how about reproducing it then, Dad?"

Gu Erzhu naturally has no objection, the old daughter-in-law can focus on the old son's scientific research in everything, he couldn't be happier, but he is worried that the old daughter-in-law will not dare to confess.

After all, the pancreatic trade seems to make a lot of money, Zhao, Gao, and Qian, every time the three of them go to the house to pull goods, at least nearly 10,000 taels of silver, but they can spend a lot.

Not to mention how much silver taels it cost to build the workshop, the manor behind it is still in order, and the blue bricks and tiles, bluestone slabs, stones and sand paid the boss a sum of silver.

There are also wood, artificial food, not to mention those agarwood musk and other spices are still expensive, and I spent five hundred taels of silver to buy oil paper processing recipes.

In addition, when she first arrived home, she not only paid 1,000 taels of silver for her Uncle Ma to buy oil, not counting the large piece of land that her father bought in front of the official road.

I also bought a Zhuangzi in Dingzhou Mansion, a house and a grange in Zhending Mansion, and also bought a group of people and ordered a large number of chestnut rice bricks.

After the meal, the family moved to the main hall to drink tea, and waited for Gu Yangming, as well as Gu Yuling, Gu Erzhu, when the two arrived to sign the contract, Gu Erzhu thought about it.

Although the two daughters-in-law get along very well, the big one hurts the small one, and the small one lets the big one, but on the whole, it is still the small one who suffers the most, and it is not easy to develop as a matter of course.

The younger the more he is afraid of worrying his family, the more he reports good news and not bad news, the more he should be a father-in-law, the more he should let the big one understand that the small one is not easy.

"What's the matter, all of them are silent? Okay, then you can listen to me a few more words.

As for me, others are sons who fight for him, but I am two sons and two daughters-in-law are fighting for me.

When I go out, no one doesn't say it, and I can't find one in the whole county and city that lives like me.

Indeed, my father was secretly happy in his heart, just like your mother said, he woke up laughing when he fell asleep. ”

The family laughed together.

"Here, I'll praise you first, your eldest daughter-in-law, it's better than me and your mother imagined, our family can be harmonious and beautiful, you have made a great contribution."

Ma Shan blushed from being praised, and hurriedly waved her hand, "I haven't done well enough, it's your father and mother who protect me and love me, and it's Liulang Sanya Baoya who respects me and lets me." ”

Gu Erlang glanced at his daughter-in-law, smiled and waited for his father to follow.

"You are all good boys, after talking about the tiger girl, I want to talk about Sanya.

Dad is going to be eccentric, you can't blame Dad for being partial to your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law entered the door earlier than you, right? ”

"Yes." Zhou Banxia knew that her father-in-law was joking, if she wanted to talk about partiality, in fact, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were partial to her, and letting her come back to the workshop before starting work was the best proof.

"Here, I'll just say a few words to you, are you afraid to say anything if you have trouble?

We are a family, we can share blessings and hardships.

It's not that my father praises how good your sister-in-law is, what difficulties do you have, your mother and I can't help you, your sister-in-law won't look at you for a while, don't you say it? ”

"No, our dad is right, you're just too strong."

"Listen, this is your sister-in-law. Dad helped you do the math, is it tight on money now, and you want to sell your head jewelry? ”

"Nope." Zhou Banxia seems to understand what his father-in-law wants to say next, but it's really unnecessary, "I still have -"

"Stop!" This stupid child, why don't you know that only crying children can eat! Gu Erzhu couldn't cry or laugh, "I know that you have at least a million taels of silver in your hand." ”

"So much?" Ma Shan was shocked, "Your master left you so much dowry?" ”

Gu Erzhu: "......"

His precious daughter-in-law, Gu Erlang couldn't help but laugh until his stomach hurt.

Compared with the eldest son, the Liu family is not much better, looking at Gu Erzhu who was stunned for a moment and looked up at the roof, she almost laughed.

Gu Wenxuan coughed, and when Zhou Banxia's mouth changed, he smiled, "It's not so much, our father is joking, but it's worth 100,000 taels of silver." ”

"Sanya, you don't have to do it, you can't spend it while lying down."

"It's useless, those dowries are not easy to collect, and they can't be collected."

Gu Wenxuan pulled the topic back, "So, sister-in-law, my daughter-in-law may be short of money." ”

What?

Lack of silver?

"Wait a minute." Ma Shan immediately snapped her fingers, "I have sixteen silver ingots of ten taels in my hand, and there are almost twenty taels of broken silver, find my mother to make up, can I make up two hundred taels, and then ask my father to borrow three hundred taels, my sister-in-law and they will forget it, is it enough to make up five hundred taels first, Sanya?" ”

Zhou Banxia couldn't stop it, Ma Shan's reaction was too fast, after listening to her rapid report, she was so moved that she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Daughter-in-law?"

You just bully honest people, Zhou Banxia shook his head, "I can hold it up for now, sister-in-law, I'll look for you when I'm not enough, if I thank you, I won't say it." ”

Ma Shan rolled her eyes angrily, "What's the nonsense, didn't we say that we would be sisters for life." Seriously, can it really hold up?

Don't borrow from outsiders unless you have to.

My father's place, as I know, just bought land, and he still has at least three or four thousand silver on hand.

If it weren't for so much, my father wouldn't have given me twenty or thirty acres of dowry land for nothing.

Five hundred taels is not enough, I'll take you to my father, he is your uncle, so embarrassed to make money? (End of chapter)
