Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Chapter 225 Jiang Chengye is back

As soon as Aunt Liqiong's family left, the other family also left, and the world suddenly became quiet.

Everyone who had watched this farce early in the morning returned to their seats with a sense of unsatisfied satisfaction, and discussed what had just happened while working.

After watching such a good show, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin also moved the roses into the kitchen contentedly. It was really interesting to refresh themselves early in the morning.

But what was even more surprising was the more than 100 kilograms of rose petals. They thought there was no hope for the rose scent this time, but who knew it would give them a surprise.

I don’t know how Aunt Liqiong and her family did it. Five or six people managed to get more than 100 kilograms of rose petals in the middle of the night. I’m afraid they didn’t sleep all night.

The most important thing is that the petals are very fresh, only occasionally there are some dry petals mixed in, I guess it’s because it was too dark and they couldn’t be picked out.

However, the dried petals are actually not a problem. As long as they are not rotten, essential oils can still be extracted.

With the help of Mrs. Chen, the two quickly washed the rose petals and hung them aside, and then continued to distill the mint.

The mint and rose are easy to mix their odors, so you have to wait until enough mint essential oil is distilled before you can continue to distill the rose.

Before Aunt Liqiong's family sent roses, some villagers had already sent mint leaves, which was just enough to fill the gap.

Distillation is a very easy job. You only need to work for a short while at the beginning, and the rest of the time you just have to watch the fire.

The two of them sat behind the stove, staring at the blazing flames in the stove hole. They immediately felt sleepy, and soon they leaned their heads against each other and fell into a daze.

"Aunt! Aunt!"

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin, who were half asleep, suddenly felt someone pushing them. When they opened their eyes, they saw a big face approaching them. It could be none other than Jiang Chengye, and standing next to him were Jiang Shui and Aji, who both looked very smiling.

They were sleeping soundly, but the sudden appearance of a big face still startled them, and their sleepiness disappeared instantly. After wiping the saliva from the corners of their mouths, they stood up and stretched comfortably.

Looking at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin's actions which were almost copy and paste, Jiang Chengye kept muttering in his heart, are these two really not twins?

"Xiaoye, why are you here so early?" Zheng Yuan asked, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky outside.

The weather in this season changes so quickly. It looked like a sunny day when we woke up in the morning, but the weather changed while we were dozing off.

"We didn't dare to stop along the way. We took turns driving the cart. We changed horses as soon as we arrived at our coachman's shop. Only then could we arrive early in the morning. I was exhausted from the journey." Jiang Chengye rubbed his stiff shoulders with a look of grievance.

"Thank you for your hard work. How about letting Aunt Zheng cook a Liaodong feast for you tonight as a reward?"

"That's right. Tonight I will let you make up for what you have consumed in the past two days."

As for why they were in such a hurry to come back, neither of them asked. They could tell with their feet that business was booming and they came back to pick up goods.

In fact, according to the two people's ideas, Jiang Chengye should have come yesterday. After all, Kunzhou Prefecture is not too far from Yongding City, and its consumption capacity is not comparable to those of these county towns. I wonder if something went wrong in the middle.

"That's great! I've been missing my aunt's cooking these days." The master and his servants were all very happy to hear that they could taste the flavors of their hometown.

"But auntie, what are you doing?" Jiang Chengye pointed at the big steamer where distillation was taking place with a look of curiosity.

"You two are good at choosing the time. You came back at the perfect time. We were just thinking about how to tell you about this new product."

"Come here and look at what's in this basin." Zheng Yuan pointed to the basin where the distillate was collected.

Jiang Chengye came closer and took a closer look: "Is this mint?"

"Yes, it is mint. However, this time we did not grind the mint leaves like last time. Instead, we extracted the essential oil from the mint leaves and mixed it into the toothpaste to make an upgraded cooling mint toothpaste."

"Toothpaste made with extracted essential oils can not only extend the shelf life, but also can freshen breath, reduce inflammation and soothe the skin on the basis of the previous basic toothpaste."

"We also extract essential oils from the roses drying outside and mix them in to make a rose-scented product. Of course, this one is mainly targeted at women."

"Can mint and rose produce oil?" Jiang Chengye was already amazed by their new ideas, but he finally asked the least important question.

"Of course we can, otherwise what would we get?" Duan Minmin pointed at the basin with some amusement, "Look, the top layer is peppermint essential oil, and the bottom layer is also the essence of peppermint. We call this pure dew."

"We are planning to ask Aji to find your long-term glass factory to customize a batch of colorless and transparent glass bottles, mainly for the pure dew below."

"We are planning to launch rose hydrosol and mint hydrosol, and we will use glass bottles to package them. Rose hydrosol's main function is moisturizing and whitening, while mint hydrosol's main function is calming and hydrating. What do you think, Mr. Jiang? Does Jiang Ji want to cooperate with us?" Duan Minmin joked with Jiang Chengye.

At that time, we were only discussing the business of toothbrushes and toothpaste with Jiang Ji. Now that new products have been launched, it is natural to renegotiate.

"Cooperation! Of course we have to cooperate! Do you two aunts want to find someone else to cooperate with?" Jiang Chengye eagerly expressed his family's willingness to cooperate.

In fact, Jiang Chengye didn’t really understand what this pure dew was. He just simply trusted Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin.

Starting from the toothbrush and toothpaste business, although he had never heard of it before, he inexplicably trusted these two aunts, not to mention the grand opening in the past two days, which made him even more convinced of the two.

This time, he brought toothpaste and toothbrush and rushed to Queensland day and night. He followed the suggestions of Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin at every step, and the products were sold out on the opening day.

Many dignitaries came to the door wanting to buy but were unable to do so, and many merchants also came to the door wanting to cooperate. Originally, Jiang Chengye was thinking of rushing back that day to transport the goods over.

But after some thought, it would take four days to travel from Lao Huaiqing to Kunzhou Prefecture and back without sleep.

Kunzhou Prefecture is no different from other counties. It has many businessmen and capable people. He is not worried about the toothpaste during these four days, but he estimates that there will be counterfeit toothbrushes.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Jiang Chengye sent people to Anyang County, which was under the jurisdiction of the neighboring Lingzhou Prefecture, to transfer goods, where they had their own factory.

When Jiang Dayou was choosing the factory site, he also took into account the possibility of supply exceeding demand in various states. In order to facilitate mutual care and transfer of goods, the factories were located at the junction.

I have to say that this old businessman who has been in the business world for a long time is different. He is indeed much more thoughtful in his considerations. If Jiang Dayou had not considered these things in advance, it would have been a pity that he could not hold on to the Kunzhou Prefecture market in time.

They set out from Queensland that afternoon, and by the next afternoon they had delivered more than 4,000 toothbrushes and 800 bottles of toothpaste, solving the urgent needs of the Queensland government.

The problem with the goods was solved. Jiang Chengye stayed in Kunzhou Prefecture for another day and waited for a message from his father. Then he arranged all matters and rushed to Laohuaiqing. He arrived at Laohuaiqing on the last day of this month.
