Chapter 163: Funeral Style is Perfect
The remaining four people all knelt down in unison, looking at Su Wan with excitement.
For them, even if Su Wan didn't do what he said, they at least had hope.
However, Su Wan obviously did not want to frame them, which meant that all their efforts would be rewarded.
The boss said that as long as they did a good job in three years, he would give them a contract to sell their bodies.
If you spend two taels of silver a month frugally, you can save dozens of taels in three years.
They are still young, so they can take it slow and just follow the young lady and do their job well.
"We are willing to die for the young lady and will never betray her!" The five people spoke almost in unison.
His voice was resounding and full of confidence. After he finished speaking, he kowtowed to Su Wan three times.
"Okay, that's enough for you guys to say. Get up, Mangzhong, come here!"
After they got up, Su Wan called Mangzhong to come over.
She took out five taels of silver and handed it to her:
"This is this month's living expenses. Rice, flour, and oil are all readily available. If you want to eat something, go to the market and buy it yourself. Don't be extravagant or wasteful. From now on, you are in charge of the living expenses. You must plan carefully how to spend this money."
Mangzhong is the most experienced among the five people. She used to work as a grocer in the kitchen of a wealthy family, so Su Wan gave her the living expenses.
"Yes, Miss, I understand!"
Mangzhong took the silver with both hands. For the first time, she felt that she had been entrusted with an important task. It was a really good feeling and she felt a sense of accomplishment.
Afterwards, Su Wan took out another drawing and gave it to Dashu and Xiaoshu.
"You two brothers have things to do too. You can understand the blueprints, right? This is called a distiller. I've already had a carpenter make four custom ones. They'll be delivered soon. You all should figure it out carefully. In a few days, a large batch of flowers will be delivered, and they'll need to be cleaned. You should take care of each other. You're the only two men in the workshop, so if you can do the heavy work, do it yourself. If you can't, you can work together. I'll come over and help you when the time comes."
"Yes, Miss, I will think about it carefully."
"Okay, you guys should get familiar with the environment here first. Here are the keys to the workshop. There are three keys in total. One for you, one for me, and one for my uncle. Don't lose them."
After Su Wan finished arranging them, he had to go back to take care of other things. There were still a lot of things to do at home, and he had to go to the farm early tomorrow morning to order flowers.
I still have a few bottles of camellia water left. I will make a batch of hair soap first and send it to Madam Xie to sell, and then keep some for Qinghe County.
Two bottles of camellia hydrosol can make about one hundred bars of hair soap.
Hair soap doesn’t need to be made too big, unlike ordinary goat milk soap, which is used every day. Moreover, it is sold at such a high price, so the essence lies in its concentration.
After returning home, Su Wan started making soap. There was no wood ash left in Xiangzhou, so he asked someone to go to the farmland outside the city to bring back a few carts of straw to make alkaline water.
There is also goat milk. There is a huge farm outside the city that specializes in raising cattle and sheep. They can provide as much goat milk as you want every day. You can ask them to deliver milk to the workshop on a long-term basis. In this way, all raw material supplies will be solved.
When making hair soap, she asked her uncle and aunt to come and watch her, to see how she precipitated the alkaline water and in what proportion she added almond oil and goat milk.
How to make the juice of soapberry and glossy privet fruit? All of these need to be added in with a fixed proportion.
My uncle took a pen and paper and wrote it down carefully, while my aunt and Yang Qingqing also learned quietly on the side.
This hair soap contains goat milk, which adds another function and dilutes the color.
Su Wan added a little peach blossom ground into powder to mix the color, and the final color was pink-brown.
Use a round mold to pour the soap that has been mixed evenly but not yet solidified into the mold, shake it gently twice to make it even, then let it dry for a few days and wait for it to take shape.
The sun is very warm in mid-April, and it only takes three days of drying to remove the film and package.
I also worked hard to make two hundred pieces of dyed goat milk soap and two hundred pieces of original goat milk soap as backup.
Taking advantage of the days of drying, Su Wan went to order the goat milk and flowers.
The distillation mold will take another two days to be delivered, so there is no need to rush at the workshop.
She also ordered twenty wooden racks, four layers high and low, which can be used to dry goat milk soap naturally.
The top is sealed to prevent it from getting wet if it rains and there is no time to put it away. It doesn't matter if it takes a few more days, as long as it doesn't get ruined.
The house has been completely tidied up, pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt have all been bought, and the firewood has also been delivered, so we can officially start cooking.
Su Chen drove Su Wan out of the city early in the morning, while Su Mu and Su Yi went to Yueman West Tower.
On the one hand, Su Mu had already said goodbye to his family and was going to meet up with Mr. Sun to prepare for his study tour.
Before this, Su's mother asked Su Mu to invite Mr. Sun to their home again so that he could get to know his family.
On the one hand, Fourth Brother Su Yun didn't know that their family had moved to Xiangzhou Prefecture, so he had to go and inform him. Yueman Xilou was also close to home, so if possible, he would move back and live with his family to make it more lively.
Su Yun is now in the Yueman West Tower. He has already learned how to carve flowers and is now battling with tofu blood, determined to cut out a complete piece of tofu pudding.
When it is busy, the chef will arrange him to cook some simple dishes, and he can do them all, flipping the wok and the pan are not a problem for him.
Grandpa Sun Beidou and his grandson had been waiting for Su Mu in Yuemanxi Tower for six days, and finally this guy came.
He walked into the Moonlit West Tower in a white robe. Sun Ling'er was drinking tea and listening to music on the first floor.
Su Mu, with his hair tied in a high ponytail, red lips, white teeth, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, appeared in front of everyone, attracting all the female guests in Yueman West Building to stare at him intently.
Whether married or single, everyone is attracted by this beautiful color.
Su Mu grasped the funeral style perfectly. It was the first time that Sun Ling'er saw Su Mu like this, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It was not until her eyes met Su Mu's that she blushed and quickly looked away.
"Miss Sun, I've been waiting for a long time. Where is the teacher?"
Before Sun Ling'er could react, Su Mu had already walked up to her. When he spoke in a cold voice, she didn't dare to look at him.
"Ah... no, my grandpa is upstairs, I'll go call him!" She hurriedly picked up her skirt and left.
"I'll go up with you."
Su Mu didn't notice anything wrong and followed closely.
"Then second brother, I'm going to find fourth brother." Su Yi didn't follow him. He decided to go find his fourth brother.
Su Mu nodded, and the two brothers went their separate ways, one went upstairs and the other went to the kitchen.
