Chapter 141: See you later?
This Guanyin statue alone is probably worth the price of a large house. It seems that I need to replace the gate lock with a bigger one. After all, it is the most valuable item in this yard.
Although Jiang Yu is not here, he is still very involved in the Su family's affairs and his presence is very strong.
"Dear guest, please take a seat. Since you have come to give me a gift, please stay and have a drink before leaving."
Father Su politely invited Fengying to stay for dinner, but Fengying refused.
"The gift has been delivered. I have things to attend to, so I won't bother you any more."
Since he didn't want to stay, the Su family didn't try to persuade him to stay.
Su Wan walked him to the door, and Feng Ying clasped his fists towards her:
"Miss Su, please stay. I'll just send you here!"
Su Wan nodded. Thinking of Jiang Yu, her heart couldn't help but beat fast. She could always remember that ordinary afternoon and Jiang Yu's words:
"From now on, I will also be your backer!"
It was so gentle and affectionate. Even now, she can still remember his affectionate peach blossom eyes, which are lingering.
"By the way, could you please ask your son for me and tell him, 'See you later?'"
She asked the question "See you later" in a questioning tone. It was all in these four words.
Fengying almost smiled like an aunt when she heard this.
It seems that his young master is not in love with Miss Su alone. It turns out that Miss Su is also thinking about him. If the young master knew this, he would be so happy.
"Okay Miss Su, I will definitely bring her here."
He tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth and not let his cold personality break.
…
A major event in the Su family's recent history has been resolved, and the next step is to get busy with business matters.
The seeds of the three-acre flower field have been planted one after another and divided into areas. There is a river next to it, which makes watering very convenient. We are now hiring someone to build a bamboo shed and plan to plant roses and roses in the corners of the shed.
Su Wan will raise bees in the shed at that time, use honey to make beauty cream, and use bee embryos to make beeswax.
Maximize the various uses of flowers.
Because we found peppers, we also had to divide one acre of the land originally used for growing vegetables and use it specifically for growing peppers, two varieties, one red and one green.
Chili seeds are easy to handle. First, dry them in the sun for a few days. After they are dry, sprinkle them in moist soil and wait for them to germinate and grow into chili seedlings. When they reach a certain height, pull out the chili seedlings by the roots and plant them separately.
Each pepper plant should be spaced a certain distance apart, watered and fertilized regularly, and the most suitable temperature for planting is around 18 to 20 degrees.
By the time the pepper seedlings grow out, the weather will be about this temperature.
There were a lot of trivial things to do at home, so the second and fourth brothers were not in a hurry to go out. Instead, they helped Su Wan plant flowers and peppers, and then made soap.
By the time the work on the flower fields and peppers was done, it was already the end of March. My eldest brother had already entered the Imperial Examination Hall, and the Spring Examination was in progress.
Jiang Yu’s private residence has a very elegant name, Hibiscus Cottage, simply because there are two hibiscus trees planted in the backyard, hence the name.
Su Jing called the old servant who took care of Furong Cottage Yuanbo. It was the end of March in Kyoto, and the spring was still chilly. The ice and snow had not melted away until the end of February, and it was still damp and cold at this time.
The Imperial Examination Hall was damp and one had to stay there for seven days. Yuan Bo thoughtfully prepared knee pads and fox fur for him to prevent him from catching a cold while writing in the hall, which would delay the exam and would not be worth it.
Su's father and mother, Su Chen and Su Yi are at home in his hometown, and now with his uncle and aunt to help, Su Mu has to go back to Jishan Hall to work.
At the beginning of the year, my family had to build a house and hold a wedding banquet, and later I helped Su Wan with this and that, which has delayed me for two months. It's time to go back.
And Su Yun was also about to set off to work as a cook in Yuemanxi Tower in Xiangzhou Prefecture.
He needs to see the world, learn more and watch chefs cook, and then integrate the knowledge himself. He will be away for at least half a year.
Su's mother prepared clothes, money, and made new shoes for him, and asked his third brother Su Chen to drive him to Xiangzhou Prefecture.
When leaving, Su Yun solemnly promised Su Wan:
"Su Wan, wait for me to come back after completing my studies. I will definitely give you a surprise."
Su Wan waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll wait for your surprise, but I hope it's not a shock."
His second brother Su Mu went with him. A few days ago, Su Wan had already made a batch of soap, which was being dried in the sun. After drying, it would be packaged and sent to the county.
I made 150 pieces of ordinary white goat milk soap, the kind that earns 12 cents a piece, and 150 pieces of dyed goat milk soap with round prints. I also made 100 pieces of camellia-scented goat milk soap.
This is a new product. If it is sold in a grocery store, it costs 25 cents a piece, and she earns 20 cents in interest.
This batch of camellia infused oil can make 500 pieces of camellia soap.
The extracted camellia water was not much, it was all essence, and I only collected it into three small bamboo buckets.
By the time my second brother brings back the soapberries, this pure dew should only be enough to make a hair soap worth about 80 yuan.
As soon as the lid of camellia pure water is opened, the rich floral fragrance will waft out. The hair soap made instead of spices will definitely be more popular. After washing your hair, your head will be full of the fragrance of camellia.
Now we need to make soap and there is a huge demand for almond oil. We can talk to the grain and oil shop and ask them to deliver almond oil in large quantities on a regular basis.
When making soap a few days ago, Su Wan was careful not to let her uncle and others see the specific parts. When she asked people to do the work, she would only let them handle the final packaging part.
The core part is a core secret, which concerns the formula of goat milk soap and cannot be disclosed. I would rather do it myself.
The most important thing is that Su Wan has little contact with his uncle's family, so he is still a little worried.
After delivering this batch of soap, Su Wan will set her sights on Xiangzhou Prefecture. At that time, she will make a batch of soaps of various styles, and just like before, she will find an agent to sell them.
Gradually, the reputation of goat milk soap was built up in Xiangzhou Prefecture, and gradually spread to all the counties in Xiangzhou Prefecture and received orders.
When she receives more orders, she will set up a workshop to produce in batches and deliver the goods exactly according to the orders.
Once her reputation is fully established, she will stop being an agent and develop into a physical store, producing and selling her own products and occupying the market alone.
Finding an agent in the early stage is a form of promotion. You don’t have to advertise yourself, and it is relatively quick to build a reputation. The only difference is that you will earn a few cents less for each bar of soap.
In half a year at most, she will be able to open her own physical store.
In addition to taking care of the flower fields, Jiang Sheng and his wife will come to the Su family to help when they have nothing to do. Once the market opens up, they will gradually have to make more and more soaps, which will require a lot of manpower.
The flower fields do not need to be watched over 24 hours a day, just water and weed them regularly.
When they have nothing to do, they can just come to the workshop to do the packaging. It’s worth the three taels of silver a month.
Su Wan planned to hire someone to build another yard next to the Su family's yard as a workshop, specifically for making goat milk soap and drying it in the sun.
The raw materials for making goat milk soap are also stored here, so that it will not take up space in the Su family's yard.
