Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Following Liu's words, Gu Erzhu mentioned that he would entertain the Zhao family the day after tomorrow, and hurriedly mentioned something that Zhao Laosan had mentioned today.

I brought several candles to Zhao Laosan in Fucheng before. After the Zhao family used them for themselves or gave them away to others, they concluded that red scented candles were the most popular.

Zhou Banxia nodded to show that he knew and understood. The product was novel and had a long-lasting fragrance. He was not worried about being unpopular with the market. The key was the spices used to make the fragrance.

Now she has been trying to stock up on spices and medicinal materials such as chicken tongue incense, sandalwood, agarwood, grass incense, spikenard, patchouli leaves, mint, angelica dahurica, white monkshood and so on.

Even flowers.

In addition to the fact that flowers are affected by the seasons, are inconvenient to transport, and are not conducive to hoarding, various dried flowers that can be used to make incense are also being stocked as much as possible.

However, if you want to expand the production of fragrance products, you have to go to Zhending Mansion next. In the short term, the fragrance making workshop can only meet the twice-produced fragrance products.

Zhou Banxia thought about his incense making workshop based on traditional craftsmanship.

The first process of cutting, pounding, grinding, and grinding is not a process that you must be careful about, but steaming, boiling, stir-frying, broiling, blasting, roasting, and water boiling require control of the heat in each process. Adding different auxiliary materials is a crucial confidential link, and it really cannot be rushed in the short term.

Although each process has been separated, and the servants of these processes have been sold out, the time is short, and it will take three or two months at the earliest for these people to become familiar with it.

After three or two months, we can use the old to introduce the new and recruit a second batch of trusted manpower. In addition to expanding production, we can also develop and produce other new fragrances.

"Let them refine the candle oil for now. How about we wait until Brother Rokuro comes back from the college entrance examination and then produce it, dad?"

Gu Erzhu naturally had no objection. He couldn't be happier that his old daughter-in-law could focus on his son's scientific examination in everything. He was just worried that the old daughter-in-law would not confess because she was short of money.

After all, it seems that there is a lot of profit in the pancake business. Zhao, Gao and Qian, each time the three of them come home to buy goods, they get at least nearly 10,000 taels of silver, and they spend a lot of money.

Not to mention how much silver it cost to build the workshop, the manor behind it is still being renovated. Just the blue bricks, slates, stones and sand cost the boss a sum of money.

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

In addition, when she got home, she paid more than a thousand taels of silver to Uncle Ma for buying oil, not counting the large piece of land her father bought in Qiantou Guandao.

They also bought a village in Dingzhou Prefecture, a house and a farm in Zhending Prefecture, and also bought a group of people and ordered a large number of chestnut bricks.

After the meal, the family moved to the main hall to drink tea. While they were waiting for Gu Yangming and Gu Yuling to sign the contract, Gu Erzhu thought for a while.

Although the two daughters-in-law get along very well, with the older one doting on the younger one and the younger one giving way to the older one, overall, the younger one is the one who suffers the most, and it is natural that it is difficult to raise her well.

The more the younger one is afraid of worrying his family and the more he reports good news but not bad news, the more he, as a father-in-law, should make the older one understand how difficult it is for him.

"What's wrong, everyone is silent? Okay, then just listen to my rambling words.

As for me, other people's sons are trying to cheer up their father, but I am a son and two daughters-in-law who are trying to cheer me up.

When I go out, no one will tell me that there is no one in the whole county who lives like me.

Indeed, dad was secretly happy, just like your mother said, he even woke up laughing when he fell asleep. "

The whole family laughed.

"Here we are, let me praise you first, Hu Niu. You, the eldest daughter-in-law, are better than your mother and I imagined. You have made great contributions to our family's harmony."

Ma Shan blushed at the praise and waved her hands quickly, "What I did is not good enough. It's my parents who protect me and love me. It's Liulang, Sanya, Baoya who respect me and give me permission."

Gu Erlang glanced at his wife, smiled and said nothing, waiting for his father to continue. "You are all good boys. After talking about Huniu, I want to talk about Sanya.

Dad is being partial. You can't blame him for being partial to your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law came in earlier than you, right? "

"Yes." Zhou Banxia knew that her father-in-law was joking. In terms of favoritism, in fact, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were partial to her. The best proof was that they asked her to come back to the workshop before starting work.

"Here, I'm just going to say a few words to you. If you have any trouble, do you have to worry about it yourself and dare not say anything?
We are a family, we can share blessings and share difficulties.

It’s not that dad praises how good your sister-in-law is. If you have any difficulties, your mother and I can’t help you. Your sister-in-law will definitely not ignore you, Huniu, don’t you think so? "

"No, our father is right, you are just too strong."

"Listen, this is your biological sister-in-law. Dad will help you figure it out. Are you short of money now and want to sell your jewelry to make money?"

"No." Zhou Banxia seemed to understand what the father-in-law wanted to say next, but it was really unnecessary, "I still have in my hand-"

"Stop!" This silly kid, why didn't he know that only children who can cry can eat! Gu Erzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You know you still have at least one million taels of silver on hand, right?"

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

Gu Erzhu: "..."

His precious wife, Gu Erlang couldn't hold back his laughter until his stomach hurt.

Compared to her eldest son, Ms. Liu was not much better. Looking at Gu Erzhu who was stunned for a moment and looking up at the roof, she almost laughed out loud.

Gu Wenxuan coughed, then Zhou Banxia said with a smile, "Not that much, my dad was joking, but it should be worth a hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Sanya, you don't have to do it anymore, you won't be able to finish it even if you lie down."

"It's useless. Those dowries are hard to collect and cannot be collected."

After speaking, Gu Wenxuan brought the topic back, "So, sister-in-law, my wife may be short of money."

What?
Short of money?
"Wait a minute." Ma Shan immediately picked up her fingers, "I have sixteen taels of silver ingots in my hand, and I have almost 20 taels of broken silver. I'll ask my mother to scrape together. If I can get 200 taels, I'll find more My father will lend me three hundred taels, and my sister-in-law and the others will forget it. Is it enough to collect five hundred taels first, Sanya?"

Zhou Banxia couldn't stop him, Ma Shan's reaction was too fast. After listening to her fast-talking report, he was so funny and moved that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"young married woman?"

Just bully honest people. Zhou Banxia shook his head, "I can still hold on for now, sister-in-law. I will find you when I can't wait enough. If you want to thank me, I won't say anything."

Ma Shan rolled her eyes at her angrily, "Why are you being so polite? Didn't we agree to be sisters for the rest of our lives? Seriously, can we really hold on?

Don't borrow it from outsiders unless absolutely necessary.

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

If it hadn't been so much, my father wouldn't have given me twenty or thirty acres of dowry land in vain.

Five hundred taels is not enough. I will take you to find my father. He is already your uncle. How dare you ask for interest? "
