After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 121 Production
Since the end of the rainy weather, the early summer of June is gradually scorching hot.

Open the door early in the morning, and the wind blows an uncomfortable feeling of dryness and heat.

Shen Xian just checked the assembled distillation device aside, dense sweat stains oozed from his body, sticking together with his close-fitting clothing.

"It's so hot, I miss the days when there was air conditioning."

Shen Xian covered the glare of the sun with his hands, pouted and complained.

The production of perfume is not difficult, but the process is cumbersome, and it is difficult to achieve modern craftsmanship. It can only be regarded as shoddy, but in this era, it can only be said to be good enough.

A bucket of ice-cold well water was drawn from the well in the small courtyard, and a basket of rose petals was cleaned one by one, and then put into a tin pan to soak in the well water to heat.

The first step in making perfume is to make essential oils. The purity of essential oils determines the quality of perfume.

After all the petals in a basket were smelted into essential oil, there was only a fist-sized porcelain bottle left, which contained a strong fragrance of roses.

"There's only so much left in such a big basket, so it's reasonable to be expensive."

Shen Xian shook the essential oil in his hand, and started the second production, dilution and fragrance.

It took about an hour to turn one bottle of essential oil into ten small bottles of perfume. The fragrance of roses is rich and moderate, enchanting but not strong.

Opening the cork and taking a light sniff, Shen Xian nodded in satisfaction.

The refined petals can't be wasted either, Shen Xian took out the remaining petals and poured them into the solidified lard, then stirred, added ingredients, and molded them into pieces of palm-sized soap.

Seeing the results of half a day's hard work, Shen Xian raised his waist lazily, and concaved his proud body into a delicate curve.

Once you have something, the next step is to find a way to sell it.

As a trendy person in the new era, Shen Xian naturally understands that street selling is the worst policy.

There is an old saying that goes well, "People tell people to keep silent, and goods make people nod their heads."

Instead of calling others to come and buy, let people come and buy by themselves, but to achieve this, planning and publicity is indispensable, commonly known as "advertising." '

"But, who can I find to help promote it?"

Shen Xian was sitting on a small stone bench, with a pair of naughty little feet up and down.

All modern merchants like to use star effects to advertise, and then bring goods through the anchor to make the products sell well.

But this backward era does not have such conditions, and Changle County is not a prosperous county, and there are no well-known actors and actresses.

If you want to quickly open up the situation, you can only rely on contacts, but what makes Shen Xian a headache is that her biggest backer in Changle County, Magistrate Lu, has already left...

"It's all because I was too fishy before..."

At this moment, Shen Xian covered his face and regretted, he shouldn't have been lazy back then.

"and many more!"

An idea flashed in Shen Xian's little mind, and he immediately thought of Xu Wanqing, this Mrs. Li Zheng must know more people than her.

As long as the perfume and soap are famous in Xu Wanqing's small circle, people who want to buy them will naturally flock to them.

When doing business, don’t be in a hurry, you still have to take it step by step.

"Yes, yes, I am so smart!"

Shen Xian boasted about himself, and then went out with two boxes of soap and a bottle of perfume.

If it is said who is the best one to look for in Changle County, Xu Wanqing must be ranked first. This Mrs. Lizheng is notoriously idle, and she just listens to operas in teahouses when she has nothing to do.

Stepping up the stairs with cheerful little steps, Shen Xian looked around twice, and sure enough, he saw Xu Wanqing leaning against the window drinking tea.

"Mrs. Xu, you are indeed here."

Seeing Shen Xian's smiling face, Xu Wanqing smiled, "Just now I saw you busy at home from a distance, why are you free to come to the teahouse to listen to books now?"

Hearing this, Shen Xian looked at the storyteller, he had already heard the passage he spoke in a rhythmic tone, and he didn't know why Mrs. Xu couldn't get tired of it.

"Mrs. Xu, I'm not here to listen to books, I'm here to find you."

Xu Wanqing frowned, showing a strange expression, "Yo, it's really the sun coming out from the west, our Miss Shen made such delicious skewers a few days ago and didn't even think of me, why did she think of me today. "

Xu Wanqing's words were full of resentment, Shen Xian rubbed her hands embarrassingly, "Mrs. Xu, stop teasing me. If you want to eat, just come home, take care of it!"

"Then I'll make a note of it, you'll have to go eat poor some other day." Xu Wanqing smiled and brought the topic back to the topic, she asked in a low voice: "What did Miss Shen find me for? "

Shen Xian put the perfume and soap on the table, and then slowly pushed them in front of Xu Wanqing.

"For me?" Xu Wanqing opened the oiled paper wrapped with soap with her hands, and was amazed by the faint fragrance of the soap.

"Smells good, what is this for?"

Tao'er on the side blinked her eyes, showing curiosity.

Shen Xian smiled lightly and said: "Madam Xu, this is soap, it is used for bathing and washing hands, after washing, it will leave a floral fragrance on the body, which will last for a long time."

Xu Wanqing's eyes lit up when she heard the words, what woman doesn't like this kind of delicious food?

"Tao'er, bring me a bowl of clean water."

Hearing about the effect of the soap, Xu Wanqing wanted to try it on the spot, and Tao'er took small steps to get Xiao Er to fetch clean water.

Shen Xian picked up the soap, moistened it with water, and handed it to Xu Wanqing, "Mrs. Xu, this soap needs to be soaked in water every time you use it. Just wait until your hands foam."

Following Shen Xian's instruction, Xu Wanqing carefully applied the soap, waited until her hands foamed and then rubbed them lightly, and when she washed them off with clean water, she put her hand in front of her nose and smelled it, and it was really fragrant.

"Yes, it is indeed very fragrant, and after using it, my hands look very white and shiny."

Taking another look at the simple-looking soap, Xu Wanqing saw a great business opportunity from it.

"Miss Shen is looking for me today, I'm afraid it's not just to give me something."

Shen Xian smiled a little embarrassedly, "Madam Xu is right, I want you to help me promote this soap and perfume."

"perfume?"

Xu Wanqing was taken aback for a moment, then turned her attention to the untouched porcelain bottle.

Shen Xian smiled mysteriously, uncorked the bottle, and the intoxicating fragrance gushed out in an instant.

"This, this, why is it so fragrant, Miss Shen, are you a fairy?"

Xu Wanqing was even more surprised than Cai Zao just now, and couldn't help but praise.

"Madam Xu, you're making fun of me again."

Shen Xian shyly dripped the perfume on her hands, then wiped it on Mrs. Xu's chest and neck, for a moment Xu Wanqing seemed to be immersed in the fragrance of flowers.

"Madam Xu, how do you feel?"

Xu Wanqing sniffed lightly, showing an intoxicated expression, and said slowly: "Let's not talk about how I feel, I just know that some people are going to make a lot of money."

"Then what you said just now?" Shen Xian smashed his moist eyes, looking expectantly at Xu Wanqing.

"Don't worry, wrap it on me."
