Chapter 415: Removing Odors
"I asked the villagers to pick them. I didn't go myself." Yu Mengqing said casually.
She is in the mansion every day. Caiyue doesn't know about it, but other people in the mansion see her every day.
Who would believe me if I said I picked it myself?
"Caiyue, call everyone in the mansion over and squeeze the juice out of these lemons and put them into the wooden barrel."
Seeing that Caiyue was idle, Yu Mengqing gave Caiyue another instruction.
"Yes, Miss!"
Soon, not only several wet nurses came, but even the three little babies came to join in the fun.
"Mengqing, can these lemons really remove odors?"
Xue Zhonglan continued what he was doing while asking Yu Mengqing.
"Of course, when have my words ever been ineffective?" Yu Mengqing asked back.
Just now they kept asking themselves what the function of this lemon was.
There is also the question of how to remove the odor of lemon.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Soon, all the lemons were squeezed by them.
Then wash the wool, pour the lemon water in and let it soak for a while...
(The author is not very clear about how to operate it specifically. These are all from Baidu knowledge. If you have any questions, I hope you sisters will not criticize me. After all, I am not familiar with it...)
Then Yu Mengqing recalled the professional methods of sorting down and goose down that she had read in books in the apocalypse and told them one by one.
In fact, the processing method of wool is the same.
Just follow her method to wash it clean, dry it quickly, and then put it away.
She will soon achieve the result she wants.
During the two days of drying, Yu Mengqing also went to the county government office to find Quan Zhaonian.
Quan Zhaonian is becoming more and more presentable nowadays.
When he saw Yu Mengqing coming, he was not in a hurry and was completely different from his previous reserved look.
"General Yu, I wonder what brings you here today?"
When Yu Mengqing came to see Quan Zhaonian for the first time, she told Quan Zhaonian that she was not coming as the Princess of Chu, but as General Yu.
Because only General Yu was an official appointed by the court, and the Princess of Chu was, after all, just a family member.
When discussing official business, it is reasonable to call her General Yu.
"Yes, let's be frank. I believe everyone knows that I've been collecting wool and duck feathers recently, right?"
"I know, I know. I'm planning to go to the general's mansion in person in the next two days to see if there's anything I can help with." Quan Zhaonian said with a smile.
Over the past year or so, the two have interacted with each other many times and get along almost like friends.
It was only after having more contact with Yu Mengqing that Quan Zhaonian realized that she was not as unkind as people said.
On the contrary, she is kind-hearted, sympathetic to the people, and has saved them from danger many times.
It is a great fortune for the Great Xia Kingdom to have such a woman.
"There is indeed something that requires the help of all adults."
"Oh? Why not tell me about it?"
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing did not hide anything and told him that she wanted to produce wool sweaters here and do business.
The most important thing is that she has to find someone trustworthy and capable to do this.
After much thought, Quan Zhaonian is the most suitable person.
After listening to Yu Mengqing's words, Quan Zhaonian took a while to absorb her words.
"General Yu, you mean to do these things in the northwest...hiss...what's it called?"
"Carbon sweaters and down jackets." Yu Mengqing added.
"Right, right, right. Cardigans and down jackets. You mean, after they're made, they should be promoted vigorously, and then mass-produced in the northwest?"
These are the conclusions Quan Zhaonian drew from Yu Mengqing's words just now.
He didn't even know whether his summary was correct.
"It's okay, that's what I meant!" Yu Mengqing replied excitedly.
Sure enough, Quan Zhaonian is not an ordinary stubborn scholar.
She had just expressed her general idea, but he had already grasped it.
"Hiss... But General Yu, I don't know if this method will work, but wool, duck feathers, and goose feathers are not always available. As you know, the northwest is poor. Not to mention sheep, even chickens are rare..."
"I have taken all these into consideration. You don't have to worry about this. I will find a way." Yu Mengqing interrupted Quan Zhaonian.
"If we can really use this wool in unlimited quantities, then this method would work, but the issue of manpower is also a big problem."
"I've also made some plans for manpower. I plan to open a large factory in the northwest. Of course, I'll invest the initial capital myself, and you can pay me back when you make a profit later."
"Ah, this..." Hearing this, Quan Zhaonian suddenly hesitated.
"Any questions?"
"No, it's just that this way, wouldn't General Yu be at a disadvantage? How about this, if there's a profit in the future, I can give General Yu another 20% on behalf of the villagers in the northwest?"
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing immediately smiled happily.
As for money, who doesn’t love it?
She, Yu Mengqing, is no exception.
Of course, this is what she deserves.
You know, the expenses in the general's mansion are also very high, and she has other plans.
That is also something closely related to silver.
Besides, she had heard from Chu Shiheng before that Qinglin Village was also a poor village.
Since they saved Chu Shiheng, she would give them a beautiful and prosperous village.
This is a reward for them.
All of this requires money. Chu Shiheng said that Qinglin Village is also a poor village.
Since they saved Chu Shiheng, she would give them a beautiful and prosperous village.
This is a reward for them.
And all of this requires money.
Thinking of this, Yu Mengqing nodded and agreed generously.
"General Yu, where are you going to get the wool and duck feathers?"
"The secret cannot be revealed!" Yu Mengqing said mysteriously.
She had already considered all these things when she first came up with this plan.
Seeing that Yu Mengqing didn't want to say anything, Quan Zhaonian naturally didn't ask any further.
Besides, even if she didn't want to tell him now, wouldn't he still know about it after she left the Northwest?
In Quan Zhaonian's opinion, General Yu came to discuss this matter with him, which obviously meant that he wanted to take full responsibility for it.
In this case, it would be difficult for him not to know.
"General Yu, there's one more thing. Regarding the publicity you just mentioned, does this publicity mean that you want to make these sweaters and down jackets public?"
