Chapter 297: Guo Lanying's Little Secret (1)
Guo Lanying thought about it, carried the corner of her skirt, and hurriedly came to the alcohol workshop - she has her own business to be busy, she is no longer the red girl in Dengxian Pavilion, she can only live by relying on men, and she will cry to death if she is abandoned by men. www.biquge.info Brother Guo has a saying that is right, only when the daughter's family is financially independent can it have its own status.
Guo Lanying covered her mouth and nose, endured the intoxicating smell of alcohol, turned around, and found Carpenter Zhou: "Uncle Zhou, do you leave me the alcohol I want?"
Carpenter Zhou is directing a group of workers to load the latest prepared alcohol into a truck and send it to the military, he is listening to a class at Yixue's night school tonight, and he has long been familiar with the process of preparing alcohol, and this kind of trivial matter no longer needs Guo Dalu to do it himself. He turned his head and smiled, "It's Miss Lanying." I'll have it for you a few days earlier. As he spoke, he picked up a clay pot from the corner and handed it to Guo Lanying.
Guo Lanying gave Carpenter Zhou a purse, but it was heavy, but it was a handful of RMB, and she said crisply: "The old rule, I will buy this can of alcohol at the price of alcohol sold in the snow sugar shop in the county." ”
Carpenter Zhou took the purse: "Look at Miss Lanying like this, it's okay if you take it for nothing, in this village, who doesn't know that you are Guo Ge'er's disciple." What's a can of alcohol?"
--Carpenter Zhou originally wanted to talk about Brother Guo'er's person, but when he came to his mouth, he turned around and became a disciple. However, his words are not groundless, who doesn't know the glamorous name of Miss Xiangxiang? But now this popular famous trick, throwing away the high-rollers who spent a lot of money just to watch the Heavenly Demon Dance, and doing all kinds of rough work in Houlong Village in cloth clothes, didn't he come to Guo Dalu?
This is called beauty loves heroes.
Even Guo Dalu's previous secret meeting with Xiangxiang in Dengxian Pavilion was dug up, and he said it eloquently, saying that the two had achieved good things under the influence of Lou Dalang - this kind of gossip has always been talked about by the people, not to mention Guo Dalu, even the emperor Laozi was arranged.
Guo Dalu couldn't argue with this kind of rumors, he knew that the more he pleaded, the more fierce the rumors would spread, which was called the more smeared and blackened, so he simply became a turtle with a shrunken head, fortunately, the girl knew the truth between Guo Dalu and Guo Lanying, and was not moved by the rumors, and was as close to Guo Lanying as before.
Guo Lanying didn't know if she was smoked by alcohol, or if she heard the meaning of Carpenter Zhou's words, her face was slightly red: "Uncle Zhou, one thing is one thing, I use this alcohol for private use, how can I take advantage of the village, you must collect this money." ”
Carpenter Zhou said politely, in fact, he didn't dare to accept it privately, you know, this alcohol and high liquor immortal drunken workshop was sent by the imperial court to supervise here, every grain cart and every jar of wine has a detailed account book, two lines of income and expenditure plus a double-entry account book, no one can do anything in it. Although a can of alcohol is not much, it can be spread, but it ruins its reputation.
Carpenter Zhou handed the purse to a bookkeeper next to him and sent Guo Lanying out of the workshop.
Guo Lanying returned to Guo's house and saw that Guo Dalu was still biting the pen in his room, so she didn't bother him, and went into an independent laboratory covered in the courtyard next to him with alcohol.
This laboratory was made up by Guo Dalu for Li Dayan, Zhou Carpenter, Zhao Kang and others, and it contained measuring cups, alcohol lamps and other instruments that were still in good condition transmitted from the garbage can, as well as Guo Dalu's self-made balances, weights and other things, as well as some measuring tools made by Zhao Kang by hand, which were used to let Guo Dalu do some small experiments.
Guo Lanying scooped up some small jars of alcohol with measuring cups and other materials, and took out a small paper bag from her arms, but there were some common spices inside, including sandalwood, agarwood, cloves, tulips, and musk.
She muttered to herself while busy: "Brother Guo said that you can use alcohol to extract the essence from spices and make perfumes, the best is to use flowers, but it's winter, where can I find flowers? If it can really be done, this will make a fortune! Brother Guo said that women's money is the best to make, and this perfume is a big deal that is more profitable than snow sugar. This is also true, just those ordinary fat powders, they have a lot of price - Brother Guo doesn't look down on these fat powders, saying that they are full of lead poison, rubbing them on the face, that is a terrible thing, after a long time, the face is full of black spots, that is lead poisoning. It's a pity that I told these truths to the sisters of Dengxian Pavilion, but none of them believed it, and they said that if they didn't apply grease and powder, they would become yellow-faced women, where could they keep their benefactors. ”
Guo Lanying thought in pieces, while recording various experimental data, busy for most of the day, filtering, evaporating, and concentrating, and finally prepared a few liquids, smelled it herself, although there are some fragrances, but it is still far from the perfume described by Guo Dalu, that a few small drops of real perfume can last for a long time, looming, touching people's souls.
Guo Lanying sniffed the perfume and sighed softly: "Although this kind of thing is better than fat powder, it can't be sold at a high price, and it's not as good as the soap made of mutton fat in Houlong Village." Alas, when will I be able to make perfume and make a lot of money?"
If Guo Dalu was present, he would definitely be deeply surprised, Guo Lanying was not a vain woman, otherwise, she would not have resolutely left Dengxian Pavilion, and she would not have won a hundred gold without doing that heavenly demon dance, but she was beating grass and feeding pigs in Houlong Village, and a pair of delicate hands had already grinded out old skin.
When did she become so keen to make a lot of money?
Guo Lanying packed up the perfume, which was not even a semi-finished product, went out of the laboratory, and closed the door, but saw Guo Dalu hurriedly going out, saw her, and shouted at her: "I'll go to its Shanyan Shuibo Temple to see Wang Yuanwei to discuss something, Lan Ying, you can get busy yourself." ”
Guo Lanying saw Guo Dalu leave, thought about it, returned to Li Ruhai's house, packed a small bag, took a donkey cart from the village to Sanjiangkou to transport goods, and came to Yin County.
Guo Lanying jumped out of the car at the gate of Yinxian County, but did not enter the city gate, turned around along the city wall, and headed for a Zhuangzi on the outskirts. The Zhuangzi is extremely dilapidated, the two gates are crumbling, and the book is written to the monk Lin Yizhuang, but it turned out to be some monks in Yin County who practiced fasting and reciting Buddha at home, and kindly raised funds to build a Yizhuang, which was dedicated to collecting orphans and widows, nameless corpses on the road, and merchants who were seriously ill and uncared for in the countryside.
