After the three of them worked hard for most of the day, they finally found an open space of several hundred square meters in the northeast of Dongping Mansion.
After obtaining the legal procedures from the officials, Wu Zhi asked Wang Dingliu to take charge of the recruitment of workers for the perfume workshop.
Shi Qian and Wu Zhi took charge of purchasing building materials for the factory.
In order to ensure that the perfume workshop can be set up as soon as possible.
Wu Zhi also called Liu Laosan down from Shuibo Liang Mountain.
After Liu Laosan participated in the construction work of the perfume workshop, the construction speed increased a lot.
It only took about ten days to complete the construction of a perfume workshop covering an area of several hundred square meters.
Next, comes the collection of raw materials and the manufacturing of machinery and equipment.
Since it is summer at this time, the work of collecting petals is quite easy.
Shi Qian took the newly recruited employees and collected hundreds of kilograms of petals in just a few days.
At the same time, Wu Zhi and Liu Laosan also built the simple device for extracting flower petals in the workshop.
Although it is said to be a device, the principle is actually extremely simple.
It is nothing more than using human power to drive winches and grinding stones, and then crush and grind the petals put in.
Finally, according to the proportion, alcohol is mixed into it to make the perfume.
After Wu Zhi and Liu Laosan completed the equipment for extracting flower petals, they devoted themselves non-stop to the development of equipment for distilling liquor.
Although the perfume production technology and distilled liquor brewing technology together cost Wu Zhi 680,000 taels of silver.
But after Wu Zhi collected the surplus from the four properties under his name, added his original silver taels and the 180,000 taels borrowed from the queen, it was barely enough.
As for the money for purchasing land, building factories, purchasing raw materials, and hiring workers, they were all temporarily borrowed from Cheng Wanli.
Although he didn't want to do this, there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, the gap in silver taels is as large as seventy thousand taels.
If he didn't ask Cheng Wanli for help, Wu Zhi had no idea when his two factories would be built.
Although that Cheng Wanli is not a generous person.
However, when he heard about Wu Zhi's identity, he lent him the silver without any hesitation.
Although Wu Zhi's current official position is not very high, where does his status lie?
A popular figure among today's officials and the queen.
Just because of this status, Cheng Wanli had no reason not to borrow money.
After all, he will rely on his daughter to develop in Tokyo in the future.
If Wu Zhi is offended at an inappropriate time at this time, it seems unlikely that Cheng Wanli will have a smooth official career in the future.
Therefore, after Cheng Wanli figured out the reasons, he readily agreed to Wu Zhi's request for a loan.
And he told him very generously that if the silver was not enough, he could come to borrow it again.
As for the repayment date, there are no further requirements.
From the initial site selection and raising money, to the construction of the factory, the production of equipment, and the picking of raw materials.
Until the end, all the preparation work has been completed, waiting for the processing of distilled wine and perfume.
This series of processes took Wu Zhi more than a month to finish.
Although at the beginning, the distilled liquor and perfume produced were relatively turbid.
But the refreshing fragrance is enough to conquer everyone in the workshop.
After Wu Zhi and Liu Laosan strengthened the filtration system, the distilled liquor and perfume produced became extremely clear.
Because before this, when Shi Qian led the workers to pick flower petals, he was afraid that there would not be enough petals.
So when I couldn't find a lot of petals, I plunged into the rose garden of a wealthy family.
After a simple negotiation, they actually picked all the rose petals in the rose garden of the wealthy family.
Therefore, this first batch of perfume can only be of rose scent.
Even so, Wu Zhi was already content.
Just wait until he puts this batch of perfume on the market in large quantities.
Then within a few days, you can get feedback from the market.
If the market feedback is excellent, he will order the perfume workshop to continue producing perfumes with other flavors.
In the evening of that day, Wu Zhi returned to Shuibo Liangshan with three bottles of perfume in his arms and a smile on his face.
Because this batch of perfumes is Wu Zhi's test work.
Therefore, he did not customize special containers for this batch of perfumes.
I just used the small porcelain bottles used to hold elixirs during this period, and that was fine.
Each small porcelain bottle is about the size of an adult's fist.
But even so, when Pan Jinlian received the small porcelain bottle, she still couldn't restrain the excitement on her face.
Because she had already learned from Wu Zhi that her husband wanted to make a batch of special fragrant powder.
Moreover, that kind of fragrant powder not only has a long-lasting fragrance, but also has high quality and can crush all the spices of this period.
Therefore, when Pan Jinlian got the small porcelain bottle, she couldn't wait to pull out the cork on the small bottle.
Immediately afterwards, a rather strong scent of roses slowly poured out from the porcelain bottle.
As soon as Pan Jinlian smelled it, she became addicted.
At this time, the smile on her face was even brighter than the lotus flower.
In his mouth, he kept shouting "Mr. sir!"
When Wu Zhi looked at Pan Jinlian's cute appearance like a child, he was immediately full of confidence in the hot sales of this perfume.
After Pan Jinlian received this special gift, she felt like she had a treasure that she wanted to hold in her hands all the time.
As for Wu Zhi, while looking at Pan Jinlian with a doting look on his face, he was also thinking about another question in his mind.
That is, his good brother Wu Song seems to be becoming more and more out of tune recently.
Although there was such a beautiful and charming wife at home, he didn't pay much attention to her at all.
It has been more than a year since his younger brother Wu Song got married to the beautiful girl Tang Wan'er.
But there is still no news about Tang Wan'er's belly.
If according to the progress of other men, when facing such a beautiful woman, I am afraid that a second child will be born at this time.
Although Wu Zhi had persuaded his younger brother Wu Song many times on weekdays to let him practice less martial arts and spend more time with his little wife.
We strive to give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible for our Wu family.
But that Wu Song always promised well on the surface, but in the blink of an eye, he ran to fight with Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen and the others, dancing with guns and sticks, to work hard.
