After Yun Dian left, a group of women immediately surrounded him.
"Oh, this sister is so pretty."
"Yes! I'm afraid only our master's wife can compare with her!"
"Say it as if you have met the master and his wife."
"Really, I saw him yesterday when I went to buy makeup. My wife even greeted me and told me to keep an eye on the master. If he comes to Yihongyuan, I will report to my wife."
This was the first time in his life that he came to a brothel, but Gongsun Yunxiu was not an ordinary person. After making sure that his personal safety was guaranteed, he was not nervous at all.
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, girl. We are a regular place and will never force girls into prostitution. Unless you are willing to make more money, no one will dare to lay a finger on you. What's your name?"
ah?"
Gongsun Yunxiu thought for a moment, and decided that she still wanted to lose face, so she would not say her real name. She said, "Yunxiu."
"Yunxiu, what a good name."
Aunt Xue shook her peach blossom fan and said, "Miss Yunxiu, that boy from Yundian said earlier that you are working to pay off debts. The most profitable people in our Yihongyuan are naturally the girls who accompany the wine. Guests will get five taels of silver for each order.
"
Gongsun Yunxiu was confused, "Isn't it twenty-five taels?"
"That's the price for outsiders." Aunt Xue said.
Gongsun Yunxiu laughed in his heart, it turned out that Li Zhizhou was taken as a victim yesterday.
"The second thing is the dancing girl. The guest's order for dancing is three taels of silver. Since you want to be a musician, I will give you one tael of silver every day excluding room and board. What do you think?"
Gongsun Yunxiu was a little surprised, "One penny?"
One penny is equivalent to one hundred taels of silver, so the musician in Yihongyuan can earn three taels of silver in a month.
This is much more than ordinary musicians earn.
Aunt Xue paused, "If you don't want to, then two dollars is fine.
This is Miss Yunxiu, you have such fairy looks, you can attract a lot of business for Yihongyuan. I will cover your board and lodging for you, and I won’t take any money from you, how about that?"
It costs sixty-five taels a month for food and lodging. To pay off thirty-five taels, it will take half a year!
Gongsun Yunxiu hesitated for a moment and then asked, "If a guest orders a song, how much silver will it be and how much can I get?"
Aunt Xue's eyes were a little strange, as were the women around her. One of them smiled coquettishly and said, "There are many people who come to our place and order dancing, wine, and women, but no one has ever ordered music."
As for the songs Mr. Zhao mentioned, how can humans hear them? Why don’t you ask for a good-sounding sound, but the sound must be loud?
It doesn’t require how wonderful the music is, just one word, it’s grumpy enough!
Whoever eats too much should order this song alone!
Gongsun Yunxiu was still a little puzzled, but waited until Aunt Xue asked the musicians to start playing their Yihongyuan dance music.
Gongsun Yunxiu, who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, was dumbfounded.
The whole person stayed where he was, his eyes a little dull, Aunt Xue said expectantly, "How about it? It shouldn't be difficult to learn, right?"
After a long while, Gongsun Yunxiu said in disbelief, "This is also called a song!"
When Li Zhizhou and Gongsun Yunxiu, the great Confucians of the Zhou Dynasty and the dean of the Zhou Dynasty Academy, became noble migrant workers in Yuanjiang County.
Zhao Kang also left the restaurant with enough wine and food, and returned to the workshop. There was already a lot of alcohol in the workshop.
He's going to start making perfume.
It's late autumn now, so I couldn't get any flowers, but don't forget that Yuanjiang County is a place with high-end private places like massage clubs.
Back when he was running a massage club, Zhao Kang and the owner of the club, Li Laoba, secretly made some essential oils.
Of course, it is incomparable to those of later generations, but it is definitely enough to fool people.
Therefore, Li Laoba's massage club stores a large amount of flower essential oils, including rose and jasmine.
Zhao Kang asked Li Laoba to send some bottles over.
Making perfume is not difficult, especially if you are making rubbish products, it would be even easier.
All Zhao Kang needs to do is find a way to blend those floral-scented essential oils into the alcohol without losing their fragrance.
Zhao Kang still adopts the method of distillation and condensation, mixing alcohol and essential oil together for distillation and then taking the condensate.
Looking at the small cup of condensate in the cup, Zhao Kang took some out, rubbed it on his hands, and smelled it carefully.
I found that the fragrance was very light, almost non-existent, which obviously did not meet my requirements. .??.
Looking at the bottles of essential oils sent by Li Laoba, there is no doubt that the idea of mixing essential oils and alcohol to make perfume is not realistic.
"Master, what is this?"
Zhang Long came over curiously, and Zhao Kang said, "I'm making perfume."
"What is perfume?" Zhang Long asked.
Zhao Kang explained, and Zhang Long suddenly had a pained expression on his face: "Sir, you use so much good wine to do this kind of thing?"
When he was making alcohol before, Zhao Kang distilled a lot of high-strength wine, which made Zhang Long, who was good at wine, very distressed.
Zhao Kang smiled and kicked him over. "That's a lot of nonsense. Do you know how much money you can make from this thing? You know nothing."
Zhang Long laughed sarcastically, thinking about what Zhao Kang said about looking for flowers with a strong fragrance. He thought of a kind of flower tree and immediately said, "Master, since there are no roses, lavenders or the like you mentioned.
, why don’t you try osmanthus?”
When Zhao Kang heard this, he was overjoyed and slapped his thigh, "Yes! Damn the scent of osmanthus in August, how could I have forgotten this!"
When it comes to golden autumn, besides chrysanthemums, osmanthus must be the king.
When the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms, its fragrance can spread hundreds of meters away.
If you use osmanthus to make perfume, the taste should be the same!
Immediately, Zhao Kang immediately arranged for someone to fetch osmanthus. This osmanthus tree existed in Yuanjiang County.
Soon Zhang Long led his men to pick two sacks of sweet-scented osmanthus for Zhao Kang to use.
This time Zhao Kang crushed the osmanthus and distilled it with alcohol. Only a small drop of the condensate was applied, and the whole palm became extremely fragrant.
Zhang Long rubbed his nose and said, "It smells really good."
Zhao Kang laughed loudly, "Money! These are all money! Zhang Long immediately took people to plant flowers on all the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the county. You guys will do it together according to my method and move out all the alcohol. Make it all into perfume for me!"
Zhao Kang was very excited about the initial success in making perfume. As long as the quantity of perfume and liquor is sufficient, he can start selling it.
He wants to get enough money to cast cannons in one go!
After his men started making perfume, Zhao Kang turned around and went to the textile factory to ask if the batch of embroiderers he wanted had arrived.
But Gao Quan regretfully told him that Yang Gan had said that it would take about three days for the embroidered girls to arrive.
Zhao Kang called Director Huang to start research first.
"Sir, what are we going to do this time?" Factory Manager Huang was very curious, so what is the purpose of this, since we haven't done it yet?
Zhao Kang grinned, "Let's do something more obscene this time."
