Dong Nuan and the steward of the Cao family carefully discussed the details and signed the deed.
Then, Dong Nuan sent the person away, turned around, and started busy with rose water and oil-paper umbrellas.
Recently, these two are more important.
The production cycle of rose water is not too long, because ready-made spices are used. If fresh flowers are used to add fragrance, the cycle will be longer, but there is no rush now.
The flowers in the flower field haven't bloomed yet.
Because he was too busy, Dong Nuan didn't even have time to go to the county school to see the Hanjiang Tower in the second half of the year, but he sent Shi Qing there with some food and a message saying that he was busy.
Hanjianglou also understood this, after all, he was also busy.
If his goal is to be a scholar, then his current knowledge reserve is far from enough. If he wants to win the title of scholar in the shortest time, he will need to put in more effort.
Nowadays, he has no other choice but to read more books, memorize more books, and seek more guidance from his master.
However, Miss Cao Er is now on good terms with Dong Nuan, so she told Dong Nuan to send over more books in the next few days, which are all the books that the students in the capital are currently reading.
Gou Qingyun's two older brothers have both gone to the Imperial College to study, but after all, they are new here and are still in the adaptation stage, so they can't be of much help for the time being.
However, Miss Cao Er's eldest brother and cousin are both studying in the Imperial College, so it is easy to get some books that are better read among the students in the capital.
For this, Dong Nuan expressed his gratitude, and then continued to make rose water.
The production cycle of rose water is not long, and by the end of May, Dong Nuan has already delivered the first batch of goods.
There are ten neat bottles of rose water, and the fragrances are different.
Nowadays, fruits are limited, so there is no way to extract the fruity aroma and make a sweet and fruity girly fragrance, but the floral fragrance is also very girly.
However, there are many types of floral scents.
Among the ten bottles of rose water, three bottles have jasmine as the base note, three bottles have white musk as the base note, and the other four bottles have the base note of musk, plant amber and peach blossom to create a mixed fragrance. The base note is long and refreshing.
Dong Nuan is very satisfied with the aftertaste of the last four bottles and likes it very much.
However, she doesn't use it very much.
Because, if there is a lot of miscellaneous smell on her body, it will affect her mixing ratio of spices.
Therefore, no matter how much she likes her, it is useless.
When the finished product came out, Miss Cao Er specially came over, and Gou Qingyun also came with her.
Looking at the ten bottles of rose water arranged neatly, Gou Qingyun felt sour at that time: "This is too good!"
In fact, the Gou family has made a lot of money recently. Either they can't afford it, or they just can't help but sigh when they see the things.
The popularity of soap has not diminished, and it has paved the way in Fucheng. I don’t know how the county magistrate and the prefect negotiated the cooperation. Anyway, the final result was that a workshop was also built in Fucheng, and two shops were opened.
Soap for sale.
Of course, the money does not belong entirely to the two people. They will use part of it to make certain improvements to the capital and county.
They repaired roads, some necessary public facilities, etc., which was a significant addition to their political achievements.
Dongnuan doesn't pay much attention to these things.
She still focused on the things in front of her.
Listening to Gou Qingyun's sigh, Dong Nuan couldn't help but touched the little girl's head and said softly: "I will bring you a bottle next month."
This month, we have to supply the goods to the capital first, so we must make a lot of them, and we are not planning to release them outside.
Gou Qingyun also understood, but she was itchy.
She had only seen and smelled rose water before, but never used it!
Ten neat bottles were right in front of her, and she suddenly felt like committing a crime.
Alas, it's all the rose water that's to blame.
Although she usually has incense, spices and the like, it's different.
Miss Cao Er was also very happy. She looked at the labels on the rose water bottles, which said No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. She asked in confusion: "This is..."
"Three kinds of rose water, three different fragrance notes, the front, middle and back notes are all different, so they are divided into three numbers. If you want to give them specific names, you can also name them, but this is not what we have to discuss, so for the time being
Order No. 1, 2, 3, so it’s easy to distinguish, don’t get confused.” Dong Nuan said, while explaining what the three types of fragrances are like.
The main reason is that the fragrance of the base note is relatively long-lasting, so I will talk more about these.
Of course, the name can also be chosen based on the fragrance of the base note.
There were many scholars in Miss Cao Er's house, and she had read a lot herself, so it was not difficult for her to choose a name. However, considering her mother's suggestion, she thought about it and asked in a low voice.
He said: "How about I go back and get it?"
This means I have to go back home to discuss it with the adults.
Dong Nuan doesn't care about this, as long as the money is available, other things are not that important.
Regarding Miss Cao Er's probing, Dong Nuan nodded cooperatively: "Yes, of course, as long as Yaoyao is happy."
Miss Cao Er was indeed very happy after hearing this.
After seeing the rose water, the steward who came with Miss Cao carefully put the things away. Dong Nuan also wrote a booklet about the daily preservation of rose water.
Those in charge also put them away carefully, for fear of making mistakes.
The cost of a bottle is more than one hundred taels. If you go to the capital, you can easily double it. Although the quantity is small, the sensation caused is definitely extraordinary!
After watching Rose Water, Dong Nuan took Miss Cao Er to see the oil-paper umbrellas. The umbrellas ordered by the other party have been made, and they can take them back together.
After all, the other party will be leaving to marry far away soon. If you don’t take it with you now, the mountains will be high and the road will be far away. I don’t know if it will be delivered to you.
Miss Cao Er chose orchids for her umbrella, and it was also a rare type of orchid - plain crown and lotus tripod.
Miss Cao Er had never seen this kind of orchid before. What she originally planned to draw on the oil-paper umbrella was actually a black orchid. This kind of orchid is relatively easy to see in the circles of the powerful.
Orchids such as the Suguan Heding were sold at a very high price in later generations, and because of their small quantity, they were very rare.
But it doesn't exist now. Miss Cao Er has never heard of it, let alone read it.
But when Dong Nuan made the reservation, he drew a picture for the other party. Although it was a simple black and white drawing, the other party fell in love with it at first sight.
Therefore, this orchid was finally chosen.
The flowers of the plain-headed tripod are pure white with a hint of bright yellow. In order to show off this pure white, Dong Nuan specially dyed the umbrella surface into a light yellow. In this way, painting on it can highlight the orchids.
