She didn't even know?
Her sense of smell is so sensitive, how could she not recognize it?
Could it be that Xi Hanxiang’s recipe doesn’t use that child’s blood?
"Ma'am, this dark red material is very common. You can identify it by smelling it carefully."
Xiao Lingyu frowned when he heard this. Could it be that he was thinking that she was using Xiao Xier's blood to mix Xi Hanxiang?
Does that mean that he doesn't know that he can use Xiao Xier's fragrant sweat to create a unique fragrance?
He must not know!
Xiao Xier has been persecuted since she was born, so they don’t have time to think about these things.
Xiao Lingyu sniffed it carefully, and after about half a cup of time, Xiao Lingyu stuffed the incense pill into the sachet and handed it to Tai Zhuo.
"Mr. Zhuo, my abilities are limited. I can't identify this dark red ingredient. Please tell me the truth so I can tell you how I made my perfume."
Tai Zhuo lowered his eyes, looked at the sachet in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "Madam, to be honest, before I had the fragrance dew, this fragrance pill of mine would cost over ten thousand taels."
Xiao Lingyu chuckled and said, "Tens of thousands of taels! What on earth is this dark red thing? Is it worth this price?"
Tai Zhuo said slowly, "Madam, I am not only good at business, but also quite knowledgeable in medicine. I believe you may have heard that using umbilical cord blood as a medicine can cure many difficult and complicated diseases. It can be used not only as a medicine, but also to make incense pills."
"This dark red raw material is actually umbilical cord blood?!" Xiao Lingyu exclaimed, unable to believe his ears.
"Mr. Zhuo, don't talk nonsense. It's okay to use umbilical cord blood as a medicine inducer, but how can it be used to make incense pills? Umbilical cord blood is not fragrant, it only has an unpleasant bloody smell." Su Xingyi frowned, looking disgusted.
Tai Zhuo saw that their reactions were very natural and didn't seem fake.
It seems that Xihanxiang is really not made with blood. Could it be that they really created the strange fragrance by accident?
"I discovered the use of umbilical cord blood to make incense pills when I accidentally sprinkled umbilical cord blood among various spices while preparing a prescription. I then sought out the umbilical cord blood of a male child to mix the incense pills, and discovered that only the umbilical cord blood of a female child could produce this special fragrance."
Xiao Lingyu said, "This umbilical cord blood can actually be used to make fragrant pills. Then I'll try using umbilical cord blood to see if I can make a new fragrant dew."
"Madam," Su Xingyi said hurriedly, "Didn't you say you wouldn't have a third child?"
Xiao Lingyu's brain froze for a moment after these words were spoken, and then he chuckled softly, "When Ming Ge'er and Huan Jie'er grow up a little, we'll have another child. This time, the midwife must store the umbilical cord blood properly."
"But Madam, didn't Mr. Zhuo say that he only needs the umbilical cord blood of a girl? What if the next baby is a boy?"
"We'll talk about the future later..."
The two of them talked about this matter in front of Tai Zhuo without any scruples, which made Tai Zhuo blush immediately.
Is this what he should hear?
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Tai Zhuo's slightly embarrassed face through the gap in the veil and said calmly, "Mr. Zhuo, this umbilical cord blood is indeed very hard to come by. It's worth tens of thousands of taels per fragrant pill. Umbilical cord blood is limited, and we can't make many fragrant pills at a time. This is even rarer than my fragrant dew."
"Then, Madam, could you please tell me how Zhuo's perfume is prepared?"
"Is Mr. Zhuo a flower lover?"
Tai Zhuo nodded. "I really like flowers, and I also love flower arranging. Some flowers can be used as medicine. For example, jasmine has a good sleeping effect."
"Flowers can be used as medicine, so naturally they can also be used to make perfumed dew. My Lingxiang, Yuxiang, Xixiang, and Xihanxiang are made by extracting the fragrance of different flowers and then the fragrance of different fruits. By mixing the two fragrances in appropriate proportions, the perfumed dew is naturally formed."
I see.
“How exactly is it made?”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "The extraction method is an exclusive secret recipe. How can I easily tell others about it? Mr. Zhuo, you are also a perfumer. I think you will figure out the extraction method quickly."
The process of perfume making is very important!
Tai Zhuo wants to confirm whether she used the child's blood to make incense?
He had to see it with his own eyes before he could completely put aside his doubts.
"Zhuo is very curious. This Xihanxiang has the same scent as my incense pills. I'd like to know what flowers and fruits are used to make it. I wonder if I can observe Madam making the incense."
"Mr. Zhuo, don't you think this is a bit unreasonable?" Lu Ming was very annoyed when he heard Tai Zhuo's unreasonable request outside the door, and couldn't help but scold him.
"Since this is a unique business, how can we allow people to observe it live? My wife has already told you the raw materials for making the perfume. She has already been completely honest. You expect to get something for nothing without paying anything. How can such a good thing happen in this world?!"
"Manager Lu, you misunderstood." Lu Yuan quickly spoke up. Someone was still disrespecting his master without knowing how to live or die. They really didn't care about their lives. "How can we be the kind of people who just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor? We must pay something."
Lu Yuan turned and looked at Xiao Lingyu. "Madam Su, our incense pills smell the same as Xihanxiang. Logically, they're made with the same spices. We used precious umbilical cord blood, but you used flowers and fruits. To be honest, we find it a little hard to believe. Of course, we're not doubting your ability, but we want to know where we fall short."
Xiao Lingyu's lips curled slightly. Does he have to see it before giving up?
"So you're not sincere about cooperating. Then there's no need for us to continue talking."
Xiao Lingyu raised his teacup, and Lu Ming understood, "You two, please."
"Madam Su, we know you've put so much effort into preparing the scent, and we wouldn't want to see it for free. We're willing to pay a price to observe from afar..."
"How can this be? My wife will not be allowed to be blasphemed by you!" Xingyi stood up and shouted angrily, "Come here, get them out!"
Yan Wei, Su Yun and others who were waiting outside entered the room angrily, and were about to ask Tai Zhuo and Lu Yuan to leave.
"Mrs. Su."
"Wait a minute." Xiao Lingyu waved his hand, and Yan Wei and others politely left the room.
"Silver is a good thing, and I naturally won't have a hard time with it. After all, there are many people and many things in my house that require silver. If you show your sincerity, it's not impossible to watch the incense making from a distance."
Lu Yuan glanced at Tai Zhuo and said, "Madam Su, we are willing to pay you 10,000 taels to make the perfume."
"see a visitor out."
"One hundred thousand taels." Tai Zhuo said, "We only watch from a distance, not up close. We won't steal the techniques for extracting the fragrance."
It was getting late and the show was almost over, so Xiao Lingyu decided to call it a day.
"Okay, I can make incense for you once."
Tai Zhuo asked, "I wonder when Madam will make incense for us?"
"Tomorrow at 9:00 PM."
Lu Ming hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhuo, please prepare the 100,000 taels of silver. I will pick you up at Ruyi Inn before 9:00 tomorrow. It's getting late, and my master and mistress still have to inspect the farm..."
A quarter of an hour later, Tai Zhuo got on a carriage and returned to Wuling County.
“Sir, what if the Su family is not the one we are looking for after tomorrow?”
