Just when Yu Kun's toilet water was on sale, Yu Kun decided to launch his perfume plan. The use of toilet water is mainly in summer. Although it can also be used for one or two months in spring and autumn, the use period of toilet water will not exceed half a year.
Perfume can be used all year round, so Yu Kun decided to launch his own perfume series.
Before Yu Kun, there were actually people who launched homemade perfumes, but they were all used by their own girls, while Yu Kun wanted to mass-produce them, and he wanted to make money with his perfumes.
Yu Kun first collected some leaves, such as lavender, mint and thyme; he also collected flowers such as roses and violets, as well as citrus, apple peels and pears; he collected some mosses, fresh leaves and branches from trees, nuts or fruits.
Kernels (walnuts or almonds); find some spices, cinnamon sticks, licorice root and vanilla pods, etc.
After collecting the materials, Yu Kun used a conical flask and put the spices on the top of the flask with a cloth bag based on the knowledge he learned in high school physics class. He inserted a straw into the spices and poured mineral water into the conical flask.
Water, slowly heat the flask to start distillation, and collect it in an opaque glass container.
Yu Kun adjusted the various essences extracted according to various materials and flavors to prepare perfumes of various flavors. The first batch of users of Yu Kun's perfume were his wife Li Pingting and his concubine Xiaocui.
He gave out a bottle for his servants to use. At the same time, he also gave various scents of perfume to Princess Yu, Princess Qing, the wife of the prefect Wu Bing, etc. Yu Kun wanted to achieve the publicity effect through these people.
After using the perfume, Li Pingting and Xiao Cui were the first to react, "Uncle, it's great. This perfume smells better than toilet water. I like the rose and citrus scents best!"
"Madam, what kind of perfume do you like?"
“My favorite flavor is jasmine and apple!”
"What Madam and Xiao Cui like must also be liked by most people. I am going to make more perfumes with jasmine, apple, citrus and rose flavors. Other flavors will be made according to sales volume. Madam, Xiao Cui, you two will
Take good care of yourself and prepare to count your money!"
Hearing Yu Kun's joke, Li Pingting smiled like a flower, while Xiaocui smiled and said: "Uncle, counting money is also a tiring job. How about I help the young lady manage the bank together? Counting money can be left to the servants."
Come do it!”
"Xiao Cui's words are reasonable. In the future, when the property is big, it will be difficult for your lady to manage the silver alone. In this case, from now on, your lady will be responsible for the expenses of more than five taels of silver; and for the expenses of less than five taels of silver, you will be responsible for it.
Come take care of it!”
"Okay, uncle!" Xiaocui was so happy. With Yu Kun's delegation of power, Xiaocui's power has increased. That is to say, Xiaocui is responsible for all small expenses at home. With power in your hands, you will have more power.
The filial piety of servants.
In fact, Yu Kun had discussed this matter with Li Pingting a long time ago. This arrangement would not only allow Li Pingting to reduce the tedious matters in her hands, but also allow Xiao Cui to increase her sense of ownership. Xiao Cui is not an overbearing person, as long as she
I respect Li Pingting in every aspect, and Li Pingting also hopes that Xiaocui will get the rights she deserves.
Yu Kun knew that in the next few days, the topic of his perfume would become the hottest topic in the entire government office. Sure enough, on the third day after Yu Kun gave away the perfume, all the regular customers who had bought Yu Kun's toilet water were asking about the perfume.
Yu Kun asked Li Pingting to send people to place samples of various perfumes outside the door of his home, allowing customers to choose the scent of the perfume.
Yu Kun was bustling with people coming and going vying to see this strange perfume. This time, Yu Kun absorbed the shortcomings of high-end toilet water sales only being limited to wealthy customers, and withdrew from the low-priced perfume for twenty copper coins a bottle.
Kun produces perfumes of various flavors according to customers' orders.
Yu Kun and Li Pingting did not expect that after the perfume was released, its sales would be extremely hot, and money would flow into their homes every day. The price of high-end perfume is the same as toilet water, which is still priced at ten taels of silver a bottle.
This time Yu Kun also adopted a preferential method, that is, buy ten and get one free. As long as the total quantity of perfume or toilet water purchased by Yu Kun reaches ten bottles, a bottle of perfume or toilet water will be given for free.
When Yu Kun got something good, he would naturally not forget his good friend Lu Wang. He sent someone to send three flavors of perfume to Mrs. Lu Wang. Yu Kun originally planned to let Lu Wang work in the government office, but after thinking about it, he decided not to
. Let Lu Wang serve as the chief catcher in the county government, and he will put pressure on the county government through Wu Bing. The county magistrate will treat Lu Wang wholeheartedly, which is more beneficial to Lu Wang than staying by his side.
When he and Lv Wang were drinking alone, Yu Kun told Lv Wang all his thoughts. Lv Wang naturally understood Yu Kun's good intentions. In this world, Yu Kun and Lv Wang are each other's only good friends.
Yu Kun understands that in his most difficult time, only Lv Wang's family treated him sincerely. Yu Kun is now rich, and he will give Lv Wang's parents ten taels of silver every month so that they can have enough food and clothing.
During the New Year and holidays, Yu Kun not only had some silver, but also gave him gifts.
Lu Wang is a good friend, but Lu Wang is definitely not a good professional. Yu Kun understands Lu Wang. For Lu Wang, being a head catcher is the limit of his ability. If he really wants to put him in a higher position, it is not to help him.
Instead, he harmed him. Thinking of this, Yu Kun would rather help more in printing money. As for matters in the yamen, just let Lu Wang have a position to support his family.
Yu Kun is a modern person. He uses the consciousness of modern people to interact with ancient people. Yu Kun is much more free and easy, and he can afford to let go. People in officialdom are often obsessed with official positions to strengthen their own lives, but in
In Kun's philosophy, being an official is also a means of making a living. He can navigate the officialdom with ease, but he will never be too obsessed with it. Regarding silver coins, Yu Kun is more open-minded. The more silver coins, the better, but first of all, you must understand that silver coins are something outside the body.
People should control silver coins and not become slaves of silver coins.
Since the sales of toilet water and perfume, money flows to Yu Kun's family like running water every day. But Yu Kun is not a miser. On the one hand, he uses money to consolidate his good relationship with the upper echelons of the officials, and at the same time, he helps his colleagues to the best of his ability. And
Yu Kun uses the wealth in his hands to help the people at the lowest level of society as much as possible. Yu Kun has a very clear idea of ​​​​earning money from the hands of rich and noble people to help the weak and poor groups.
Yu Kun came from a poor background. He understands that poverty is fatal to a person, but Yu Kun has a philosophy that it is to help the emergency rather than the poor. If the current predicament is caused by family reasons or objective willingness, Yu Kun will reach out.
But Yu Kun will not give a penny to those who are capable and strong because they are too lazy to eat. He has always emphasized to the housekeeper and his subordinates that the old, weak, sick and disabled who come to beg for food must be treated with courtesy; and
