Chapter 69 Three Flowers Nourishing Beauty Tea

After studying medical skills for more than ten days, Yue Wangshu made himself dizzy, and couldn't help but sigh, being a medical student is really not easy.

Working behind closed doors is easy to fall into a dead end, not to mention that there are many fallacies in traditional Chinese medicine itself, Yue Wangshu feels that he needs to relax his mind and exercise his muscles and bones.

However, it seems that the emperor doesn't let her go up to the mountain to collect herbs now - although this is considered kind, it is a bit of a nosy.

Scratching his head, Yue Wangshu suddenly smelled the fragrance of roses, walked out of the house and saw servants carrying baskets of rose petals into Huangzhuang.It was only then that Yue Wangshu suddenly remembered that this is the Rose Ridge Huangzhuang!The biggest output is not the fertile fields at the foot of the mountain, but the thousand acres of rose forests in the mountains!

Every spring and summer is the busiest time for the servants of Rose Ridge Huangzhuang. Starting from March, rose buds are first picked to make rose tea or medicine, and then rose petals are picked when the roses bloom to make rouge and perfume. , flower dew, can also brew wine, make sauce, scent tea, it can be said that one flower is multi-purpose.From spring to late summer, even if the flowers are finished, you can still dig the roots to make dyes.It was not until winter that the servants of Huangzhuang could rest.

Needless to say, it is the busiest time of the year, no wonder I haven't seen Li Yue these days.

Yue Wangshu asked Xiaoju beside him: "How many catties of rose petals do you want to offer in Huangzhuang?"

Xiaoju thought for a while and said, "In previous years, the share was only two to three thousand catties. This year, the construction department had sent a message early, requiring Rose Ridge to hand in two thousand catties of petals every month. The total amount may be tens of thousands of catties."

Yue Wangshu couldn't help being speechless: "What do you want so many rose petals for... Uh!"

Yue Wangshu was instantly ashamed, what are you doing?Isn't that obvious! !
Make lipstick!

Isn't it because of the hard work of Qi Cainu and the four of them that they have developed so many colors, and now the peony series of rouge produced by the construction company is extremely popular in Beijing and Beijing, and rose petals are the main material for making rouge!The demand for raw materials will naturally skyrocket!
Fortunately, the rose forest in Rose Ridge covers a thousand acres, so the production is naturally a surplus, but the problem is the manpower...

"Is there enough manpower?" Yue Wangshu couldn't help asking.

Xiaoju smiled and said, "Where are the servants in Huangzhuang enough? The construction department added a lot of people early in the morning, but it was still not enough. Eunuch Li had to urgently hire tenants from the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain to go up the mountain to pick them every day."

Yue Wangshu asked suspiciously: "It's also the busy season of farming, can we hire people?"

Xiaoju said: "This strong man can't be hired, and there is always a shortage of women, children, old and young."

Yue Wangshu suddenly realized, yes, picking rose petals does not need to hire young and strong.

"Let's go to Rose Ridge too!" Yue Wangshu suddenly became interested. She has lived in Rose Ridge Huangzhuang for so long, and she has never visited the Rose Forest.

"Master, there are so many people there now, you..." Xiao Ju looked at the brocade jacket and skirt on her master, feeling very embarrassed.

Yue Wangshu said "Oh", "Go get me the clothes of a court lady!"

"Your servant doesn't mean that!" Xiaoju became even more anxious.

"Okay, you can just go. Anyway, it's not convenient to go to the Rose Grove, dressed like me." Although the uniform of the court ladies is also a skirt, but the jacket has narrow sleeves and the skirt does not drag the floor. It is indeed much more convenient. .

After all, maids of honor serve people, so their attire should naturally be much more concise.

Tsing-clothed green skirt, bright red belt, a pair of black cloth shoes that are very resistant to dirt, with a spiral bun on her head, and a bamboo basket on her back, she looks like a maid in the Huangzhuang who went out to pick rose petals.

"Master, if Eunuch Li sees you like this, he will definitely reprimand your servants!" Xiaoju, who was dressed exactly the same, followed her with a sad face.

Yue Wangshu walked quickly, "Don't worry, Li Yue has already seen my temper. He dare not bully my people!"

Damn this dead eunuch can only make small reports!Yue Wangshu silently slandered.

But I'm just going out to pick flowers!If even this is not allowed, what is the difference between going to jail?
With her master's words, Xiaoju felt a little relieved, at least the roses grew on the sunny slopes of Rose Ridge, which was much safer than running around all over the mountain to collect herbs.

Yue Wangshu walked briskly and arrived at the destination in less than a quarter of an hour.

This rose refers to an edible variety, not the ornamental rose roses of later generations. A single flower looks more like a rose, which is not very beautiful, but a thousand acres of rose forests are full of mountains and plains. It's majestic.

The servants of the villa, the prisoner, and the peasant women and children at the foot of the mountain shuttled through the rose forest, like hardworking bees, picking newly bloomed roses.There is no need for human supervision. When a basket is full, it will be weighed and delivered. At the end of the month, wages will be settled according to the amount of picking.

Yue Wangshu rubbed his chin, could this be regarded as the beginning of capitalism?
In fact, this kind of "germination" began in the reign of Taizu. It is precisely because of the invention of looms and spinning machines by Huangshang Jizifang that female weavers have become very common in the southeast coast.

Looking at the women and children who are busy and laughing in the rose forest, although her back basket is heavy and her head is full of sweat, she still smiles unabated.

This kind of atmosphere is very contagious, and Xiaoju picks flowers very neatly. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Master, can the roses picked by the servants be exchanged for wages?"

Yue Wangshu smiled and said, "That's natural."

Xiaoju immediately worked harder. Although the maid's salary is quite a lot, who would dislike the lack of money?

Xiaoju still did not forget to remind in a low voice: "Master, be careful, roses have thorns, don't prick you."

Indeed, many of the female hired workers who picked flowers here had their hands stabbed, but most of them just laughed it off. If it was a little girl, maybe their mother and sister would help to bandage it.

Xiaoju picked petals, while Yue Wangshu picked buds and pinched them. She wanted to dry some rose tea to make water for drinking.In the afternoon, I went to pick some rose buds and asked someone to pick some toi flowers.

That's right, she's a bit tired of drinking barley and red bean tea, and she wants to change it.

After thinking about it, I thought of an excellent three-flower beauty tea.

The three flowers are roses, roses and toi flowers.

The first two needless to say, this toi toi flower is sour orange flower, because it is produced in the south, so it can only be bought.This thing can't be bought in pharmacies, and finally got it from a tea merchant.Without him, Toi Toi flowers can be used to make scented tea.

After such a busy work, Sanhua Nourishing Tea is freshly released.

Light red tea soup, fragrant breath, drinking such an afternoon tea will make people feel refreshed.

This tea nourishes the skin, regulates menstruation and relieves pain. The toi toi flower in it can also soothe the liver and stomach, and it has the effect of losing weight!
"Let's add some honey, it's a bit bitter." Yue Wangshu murmured, completely forgetting that he was thinking about losing weight last second.

　The tenth shift will be on the shelves, and the fifth shift will come first at noon.
