Because the shop is undergoing transformation, many wood carvings, small items and the like are slowly being replaced.
The spice business is doing well now. The winter-warming fragrances are very stylish, and many of them are very layered. Compared to rose water, the fragrance is a bit different.
However, if you feel it carefully, you will actually know that the sense of layering is very comfortable.
At the same time, Dongnuan also blends several spices to soothe the nerves, aid sleep, and refresh the mind.
Dong Nuan knows very little about pharmacology. She has never studied alchemy and doesn't know much about these. Even if there were friends around her who knew about it in the past, she always eats ready-made medicine and doesn't need to know too much.
But Dong Nuan understands flowers, and knows which flowers have what benefits for them, so they can use them.
On Zhuangzi's side, Dong Nuan made some arrangements and appointed Shi Qing as the chief steward.
Of course, he is still young and sometimes it is not easy to convince others.
Fortunately, Mrs. Cao introduced an uncle in his thirties to come over. He looked very shrewd. After he came over, he also became a big manager and managed Zhuangzi together with Shi Qing.
Other people in charge also made arrangements one after another, and then Zhuangzi became busy.
Because of the autumn harvest, there are still about twenty acres of grain in Zhuangzi that need to be harvested and taxes need to be paid.
Orchards and flower fields with warm winters also need to pay taxes, but they can be offset by grain. Therefore, during the autumn harvest, warm winters will most likely have to pay a lot of taxes and grains, and the grains obtained in the end will probably not be too much.
many.
However, Dong Nuan over in Fucheng has already sent a message, asking them to prepare food in advance to avoid running out of food.
The autumn harvest and tax payment matters are all taken care of by stewards. Dong Nuan's current task is to make colored glaze.
Although Magistrate Cao didn't urge it, Dong Nuan couldn't just leave it alone.
Therefore, she quickly returned to Fucheng and went to the folk kiln. The site was ready, but a new kiln was needed.
These things all require investment. Fortunately, the folk kiln itself has some working capital at its disposal, and Mr. Cao has provided a lot of support.
Therefore, the kiln quickly became prosperous.
The next step is to get the ingredients!
Many materials are not complete and need to be obtained immediately, so they still need to wait.
I was busy until the end of November, the weather was getting cold, and the progress was slowly advancing.
It’s not easy to get warmth in winter directly, it’s so unbelievable.
Therefore, adjustments were made to the materials, and now it is not without results, but it is too turbid and does not look as transparent as Fanbang's colored glaze.
This means there is still room for improvement.
However, at the end of November, a good thing happened.
That was the papermaking formula that Mr. Cao sent to the capital before, and it finally attracted His Majesty's attention.
In fact, His Majesty has already paid attention to it, but he has to try it himself, get started, and only after he has figured it out, can he truly believe it. He can't let others say what it is.
Not even with Wan Meiren’s pillow style.
Today, His Majesty is young and promising, has imperial ambitions, is calm-minded, and is a rational emperor.
He is not like the late emperor, who could no longer find the north after being coaxed, and wished he could simply destroy his country.
Therefore, Your Majesty needs to ask the Ministry of Industry to prepare it. It will take a longer time to soak bamboo and bark, otherwise it will be tried earlier.
Because His Majesty was in such a hurry, all the officials from the Ministry of Industry wished they could turn into water and go up to help soak the bamboo.
However, it is written in the recipe that it needs to be soaked for 90 days to remove all the epidermis before it can be soaked.
So, no matter how urgent it is, you have to wait.
This wait lasted for almost three months, and then went through a series of production processes.
Compared with toilet paper, what His Majesty values more is of course paper for writing.
If it is white and does not smear with ink, it is a good paper.
Your Majesty actually doesn't care whether it's white or not. As long as it doesn't smear with ink and the cost is acceptable, it's a good thing for students all over the world.
Would His Majesty be unhappy if the price of good paper could be lowered further to reduce the cost of studying for students?
Of course, he also likes toilet paper.
Compared to the roughness of toilet paper, toilet paper is soft and comfortable. Who wouldn’t like it?
However, compared to the world, personal enjoyment is not that important, so it can be put at the back of the list.
Once the results came out, it was proved that the formula presented by Magistrate Cao was indeed effective, and His Majesty was naturally very happy.
Of course, Mr. Cao was not greedy for the advantages of winter warmth. During the memorial process, he also recorded the contribution of winter warmth in detail.
Now that Dong Nuan is his adopted daughter, she will be both prosperous and devastated. If Dong Nuan has contributed a lot, he, as his adopted father, will definitely take advantage of it.
The emperor is not a person who does not know right from wrong, and there is a beauty named Wan who is blowing pillow fragrance in the middle.
Therefore, he did not ignore Dong Nuan's contribution and rewarded him with a wave of his hand.
The emperor was also generous and did not give out some gold and silver or anything stingy. If she was just a peasant girl with no status background, then just give her some gold and silver to make her life easier.
However, now that Dong Nuan is the adopted daughter of the Cao Mansion, she can keep and afford other rewards. After all, the Cao Mansion still protects her.
Looking at the words used in Magistrate Cao's memorial, the care and the care, you can see how much he values this adopted daughter.
Therefore, the emperor decided to be more generous himself, and he could also make Wan Mei happy, so why not?
Because His Majesty valued it, the imperial edict of reward was delivered quickly.
Almost as soon as the paper came out from the capital, the imperial edict of the reward also left the capital.
It only took three days for the imperial edict to arrive in Liangzhou.
When the imperial edict arrived, Dong Nuan was at the folk kiln, and sand was thrown all over her head and face.
After working on it for almost three months, Dong Nuan felt that he could first make Fanbang's kind of colored glaze, and then come up with tricks step by step.
It's not that Dong Nuan doesn't want to press it anymore, but...
With sand flying all over his face every day, Dong Nuan said, "I'm tired, just destroy it."
Hurry, I can't hold on any longer!
Just when Dong Nuan raised her head to look at the sky, Aunt Xu, the steward next to Mrs. Cao, ran over and said hurriedly: "Miss Six, please clean up quickly. There is an imperial edict from the palace."
When the imperial edict came from the palace, what was she told to do?
Dong Nuan, whose mind was almost useless due to being shaken by the sand every day, was dazed for a moment, and was almost subconsciously pushed away by Aunt Xu.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly.
It should be a previous paper issue.
Dong Nuan was pushed back to the carriage and had a bumpy ride back home. She was not well behaved and needed to be cleaned up.
Fortunately, the maids came together to fight and quickly took care of the people.
Although sand has hit her head and face recently, Dong Nuan's face is still pretty and not affected in the slightest.
The little eunuch who came to announce the decree was stunned for a moment when he saw the person, and thought to himself: This new county head is actually a stunning beauty!
