Chapter 96 Aromatherapy Candles
"They signed it, saying they'd double the compensation if they couldn't deliver the goods. But what good is the compensation?"
Chu Mingyu raised his chin towards Jingfu Building and said, "We're undergoing renovations recently, and the boss across the street sent his servants over here acting suspiciously. I suspect they're behind this."
Jiang Tangtang said, "It's okay to just pay the money. For now, let's think about what to use as a replacement!"
Chu Mingyu said with a sad face, "I thought so too. I asked several other shops, but they all said they were too rushed and refused to accept our orders."
"Then let's try a different gift!" Jiang Tangtang had an idea in mind, but she didn't say it out loud. Instead, she asked, "Do you have a good opening date in mind?"
Chu Mingyu said, "The master said that the 16th and 18th of this month are auspicious days. I plan to open the business on these two days."
Jiang Tangtang calculated in her mind that if the opening was on the 18th, including today, there would still be seven days. If she was allowed to prepare, there would be plenty of time.
She said, "I have two plans, but I still need to go back and prepare the things. How about this? I'll come back tomorrow and show you the two things. After you review them and think they're feasible, you can use what I've prepared. But in the meantime, you should also think of other solutions."
"Sister Jiang, I believe in you. You are so smart, and the method you come up with must be the best!" Chu Mingyu said.
Jiang Tangtang laughed and said, "Don't say that. Business is business. You can't open a backdoor just because of me."
After leaving Jiuxia Silver Shop, Jiang Tangtang went to a porcelain shop to inquire about where the porcelain jars could be customized.
The two things she wanted were aloe vera cream and dried flower scented candles.
These are the products she wants to sell when she opens a rouge shop in the future. Now, through the opportunity of Jiuxia Silver House's giveaway, on the one hand, she can expose her products and build her reputation, and on the other hand, she can also take the opportunity to make a fortune.
She has already tried aloe vera gel, and it can be seen that the aloe vera gel made from aloe vera grown in space has a very good beauty effect. The only problem is the packaging problem in ancient times.
The aloe vera gel she gave to Zhao Jia and the Su family was packed in porcelain jars used to hold seasonings, tea leaves, and the like.
Although these porcelain jars had lids, they were not tightly closed. However, Jiang Tangtang wanted to buy a batch of tightly sealed jars, so he went to several porcelain workshops to inquire.
However, after visiting all the porcelain workshops in the county, Jiang Tangtang still couldn't find a jar that was tightly sealed. In the end, she had to compromise and decided to use the primitive sealing method of beeswax and resin.
Jiang Tangtang went to a porcelain workshop to customize a batch of trumpet-shaped big-bellied porcelain bottles and white porcelain jars for tea.
She also drew a blueprint and asked the craftsmen in the porcelain workshop to produce the small cups according to her blueprint.
She planned to use this small lamp to hold dried flower scented candles, so the appearance required various beautiful patterns and a lid.
The porcelain workshop master took her drawing and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what this small lamp could be used for. When he heard that Jiang Tangtang wanted to order hundreds of them at once, he frowned and said, "Sir, please think carefully. If this strange little lamp is made,
There is no going back."
Jiang Tangtang said, "Master Ruan, please rest assured. I came to you specifically to make the order. It is of use and I will not back down."
Ruan Chengzhou was afraid of making a mistake, so he frowned and said, "In our porcelain workshop, when we make custom-made items, we usually pay half the money, but your item is different from others. If you want to order it, you have to pay first."
"No problem! You do the math and I'll pay you first." Jiang Tangtang had made up her mind. Even if Chu Mingyu didn't like her scented candles, she could wait until her shop opened and then sell them there. This porcelain candle would definitely not be wasted.
What's more, she was 80% sure that Chu Mingyu would use her scented candles.
"Let me take a look." Ruan Zhoucheng tapped on his abacus for a while and said, "Give me five taels of silver in total, and the rest will be given after we get the goods."
Jiang Tangtang gave the money and went to a few more shops to buy beeswax and other things. He wanted to ask about the shops, but seeing that it was getting late, he had to drive the ox cart back home first.
Since she had already planned to end her cooperation with Baiweizhai, Jiang Tangtang only made some egg yolk pastries that day and did not prepare any other food. She mainly focused on making scented candles and aloe vera gel.
Jiang Tangtang is not in a hurry as she already has mature experience in making aloe vera gel. She is now mainly making dried flower scented candles.
She loves flowers, and since she runs a farm stay, she wants to make the guests feel pleasant. So in addition to the farm stay courtyard and the sunroom on the top floor, she also planted many flowers on the roadside leading to the orchard.
In addition to the common honeysuckle, rose, gardenia, lily and jasmine, there are many uncommon flowers.
Now, in this space, flowers bloom in full bloom regardless of the season. As long as you get a little closer, you can smell the rich fragrance of various flowers.
Jiang Tangtang first picked roses, jasmine, gardenias, etc., took them to the kitchen to dry, then melted the beeswax bought today and put it into a small bowl. While the wax was still wet, she inserted the dried flowers.
In addition to this kind of flower arrangement candle, Jiang Tangrang also made a kind of candle that was made by melting flower petals and beeswax together, which gradually emitted fragrance when burning.
Since it was just for Chu Mingyu to see, Jiang Tangtang didn't do much. She just made a few samples and finished work early to rest.
The next morning, the Baiweizhai employee came to Jiang Tangtang to pick up the goods as usual. When he saw that there were only a few egg yolk pastries, a complicated expression flashed across his face. "Mr. Jiang, why is there only this much today?"
"It's like this, the New Year is coming soon, and my family is too busy for the time being, so I won't be making cakes for your restaurant anymore."
Jiang Tangtang had a smile on her face, without any displeasure at all, which made the waiter a little unsure whether Jiang Tangtang knew something.
He looked embarrassed and said, "But it's such a big deal... I can't make the decision."
Jiang Tangtang said, "Don't worry, your boss won't make things difficult for you! This was agreed upon when we signed the contract."
"So that's how it is!" The waiter had no choice but to hand over the silver he had prepared earlier.
Although Jiang Tangtang did not make snacks like glutinous rice noodles today, she made more egg yolk pastries, which have a higher unit price, so she also collected about twenty taels of silver.
After taking the money, Jiang Tangtang ignored the waiter at Baiweizhai and packed up her things, planning to drive her donkey cart to find Chu Mingyu. As she was about to leave, Lu Shili caught up with her.
Jiang Tangtang knew what he was thinking. He was simply afraid that she would terminate her cooperation with Baiweizhai and that Baiweizhai's people would come and cause trouble for her.
Knowing that he meant well, Jiang Tangtang didn't say much and went to the county town with him.
