Chapter 224 Perfume and Fruit Wine
With tangible benefits in front of them, the new servants started to work quite smoothly.
The Lin family, which was originally a little deserted, soon became lively.
This state lasted for a month and reached its peak when Lin Zhiqing rewarded him again.
Seeing those servants taking the money and leaving, Lin Yangyang's heart was bleeding. She couldn't help but follow Lin Zhiqing's steps:
"Sister Qing, even though we made some money from our violet perfume, it can't sustain such heavy spending."
Lin Zhiqing was a little confused as to why Lin Yangyang asked this question, but after thinking about it, he quickly figured out the reason:
"Cousin, have you received your cousin's letter?"
"A letter? It seems I received it, but I haven't had time to read it yet." Lin Yangyang was puzzled: "What does this have to do with silver?"
"Of course it does." Lin Zhiqing put the abacus aside and scribbled on the paper.
Shengjing City is far away from Yunnan. If you go by water, it will take two or three months.
If you travel by land, light vehicle and follow the route of the post station, it will take at least one month.
At first, Lin Zhiqing thought that his cousin would have to travel for several months, but he rode as fast as he could and traveled by land.
After spending a month in Yunnan, he immediately worked hard to do many things according to Lin Zhiqing's ideas.
Lin Yangyang couldn't understand those messy words and could only wait for Lin Zhiqing to explain.
"After we sell our violet perfume, it will just cover the money we spent on flowers." Lin Zhiqing smiled.
"But in Yunnan, perfumes made from fresh flowers are more popular."
"Ah? Isn't this thing very common in Shengjing City?" Lin Yangyang had previously learned about this perfume with Lin Zhiqing, so she naturally knew some general information about it.
Lin Zhiqing shook his head: "It is common in Shengjing City, but it is only available to the rich and is very expensive."
"Are you willing to spend several taels of silver on a bottle of perfume?"
Lin Yangyang shook her head like a rattle: "Of course I'm reluctant."
Lin Zhiqing pointed at the bottles of perfume on the table and said, "This is the perfume my cousin asked someone to bring back from Yunnan. Try it."
Lin Yangyang picked up the small bottle and poured out a drop.
In an instant, a unique fragrance spread.
Even Lin Yangyang, who never wears perfume, couldn't help but smell it:
"What is this smell? I've never smelled it before."
"Camellia." Lin Zhiqing replied: "Besides camellia, there are also cherry blossoms."
"I've never heard of these flowers you mentioned. They must be very expensive, right?" Lin Yangyang raised her hand and waved it in front of her nose.
"One tael per bottle." Lin Zhiqing replied.
"What! One or two taels?" Lin Yangyang was a little surprised, then frowned: "Shi'an must be crazy, selling such a good thing for so cheap."
In fact, one or two taels of silver is not cheap for ordinary people.
But compared with the perfumes in Shengjing City that cost more than ten taels, this price is really affordable.
"Only people with some money will buy this. There are many flowers in Yunnan, and they are not expensive. We will make a profit if we set the price at one or two taels." Lin Zhiqing explained.
The reason is very simple. The target audience of perfume is not ordinary people, but wealthy people such as businessmen.
The perfumes of Shengjing City are more complex and high-end, and they are sold at high prices, making them difficult to spread to other places.
Lin Zhiqing moved the market to Yunnan, actually taking advantage of the information gap.
Local materials are used, and the cost of raw materials is low.
Sold locally, low shipping costs.
Caravan cooperation has a wide range of dissemination.
The output is high and the buying and selling prices are low.
Based on these points, it still has some advantages compared to the perfumes in Shengjing City, which have complex and varied scents.
With different audiences, the markets that can be captured will naturally be different.
Lin Zhiqing calculated that they had earned more than five thousand taels of silver in this month.
But since they are not the only ones who can make this perfume, it is not ruled out that someone will go to Yunnan to imitate it.
After Lin Zhiqing made money, apart from the daily expenses for food and clothing, the rest of the money was basically given to Lin Shian to expand the market.
Mainly buying mountains and land.
Yunnan is a place full of treasures.
Green waters and green mountains are invaluable assets.
But it's not just the fragrance that brings it.
Before Lin Zhiqing finished speaking, Lin Yangyang couldn't help but open several other bottles of perfume and smell them.
After a moment, she noticed something different: "This perfume doesn't smell like flowers, but rather like..."
"It tastes like cherries." Lin Zhiqing replied.
"Cherries? Don't they taste sour and astringent? Why do they smell so sweet now?" Lin Yangyang twitched her nose again:
"No, this perfume isn't handled properly, and it smells like alcohol."
Lin Zhiqing laughed: "Your nose is quite sharp at this time. The cherries in Yunnan are very sweet."
"Take a closer look. How is this different from the perfumes I just saw?"
"Different?" Lin Yangyang scratched his head, looked down, and quickly found the difference.
The bottle that held the perfume just now was about the same size as the bottle that held the pills, very small.
But this water with the taste of wine and cherry is served in an exquisite bamboo tube.
At first she thought it was all perfume and didn't pay attention.
Lin Yangyang bent her head, sniffed carefully, and soon discovered the clue:
"Is this wine?"
"Yes, it's called cherry wine." Lin Zhiqing poured some into the cup.
Lin Yangyang took a bite and her eyes lit up: "It's so sweet!"
"Yes, this is fruit wine." Lin Zhiqing also took a sip. The taste was indeed quite unique and just right for women.
After drinking a glass of wine, Lin Yangyang still felt a little unsatisfied.
Lin Zhiqing quickly put the bamboo tube away:
"Give these to your eldest uncle and fourth uncle to try. If you drink them all, there will be no more left."
"Okay." Lin Yangyang smacked her lips, as if savoring the taste.
Lin Zhiqing was amused by her actions.
In fact, there is a lot more of this wine.
In addition to cherry wine, there are also several other wines with different flavors, such as mulberry wine and rose wine.
How can you make so much money in such a short time just by selling perfume?
Lin Zhiqing racked his brains and finally came up with a way to make money from fruit wine.
She attended the Spring Banquet and drank the wine at the banquet.
Perhaps because Dasheng places great emphasis on martial arts, even women drink stronger liquors such as peach blossom wine and daughter's red wine.
But in fact, the refreshing and mild taste of fruit wine is more suitable for occasions such as banquets.
Whether it is perfume or fruit wine, it is now well-known in Yunnan.
Once something appears on the market, it will surely be imitated by countless people.
Both of these things are very simple to make, and the purpose is to create a new look.
If any businessman becomes jealous, they may go to Yunnan to develop. Even now, people in Yunnan have begun to use local characteristics for development.
For this reason, Lin Zhiqing wanted to make money as quickly as possible and buy as much mountains and land as possible in Yunnan.
Although this is just a preliminary idea and she doesn't have that much money now, dreams will always come true one day.
Back to the topic, although Lin Zhiqing still has many different fruit wines on hand, she can't give them all to Lin Yangyang.
First of all, she was planning to take these things to Bianliang, where the business was even more developed than Shengjing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she could go to Bianliang to discuss cooperation and do business on the surface, and secretly go to Lin Jingya to inquire about the specific circumstances of the poisoning of her cousin, killing two birds with one stone.
Secondly, if Lin Yangyang got drunk again, her plan to go to Bianliang would have to be shelved.
Time is urgent and there is no time to delay.
