Of course, the matter is not over yet, and it will definitely not be that simple.
The flowers of homemade floral dew are different and come in various colors, so you have to distinguish them by category.
In today's era, there is no preference for colorful things.
The colors had to be separated, the flavors had to be sorted, and the raw sugar had to be purchased. Her share of ideas was simply not enough.
In addition, the porcelain bottle for holding toilet water is also troublesome and requires additional purchase.
Also, the source of the flowers is quite a headache. You can’t really pluck the small garden of the General’s Mansion. Who knows what Jia She’s reaction will be?
Li Ma suggested picking wild flowers outside, but Jia Cong did not agree.
Who knows if there are any problems with the things outside?
If you want to rely on the wild flowers that are everywhere in the mountains and fields outside, the floral dew produced must not flow into wealthy families, otherwise problems will arise.
Li Ma didn't even care. She believed that the large number of middle- and lower-level officials and a larger number of businessmen in the capital were potential customers, and they were willing to spend a few taels of silver to imitate the trends of wealthy families.
But in this case, the scale of flower dew production must be expanded, and people must be invited to participate, so it is easy to leak the secret of the production.
Once there is a leak, I believe that the entire capital will soon be in a situation where the supply of toilet water exceeds the demand, and this business chain will be broken.
Jia Cong just stated his own considerations. As for what Li Ma thinks, he can't control and doesn't want to care. As long as Li Ma honestly takes the money that belongs to him.
Those considerations are things for later. For now, let’s sell the trial-produced toilet water and see the feedback.
The quantity was not large, so I filled fifteen bottles in batches. Fortunately, Jia Cong still had some raw sugar leftover, so he managed to finish the fifteen bottles of floral dew without disturbing any outsiders.
It has to be said that Li Ma is quite capable, at least she has some energy in the circle of servants. Fifteen bottles of trial production toilet water were all sold out in just one day, with each bottle costing six taels of silver, and a total of ninety taels was harvested.
Then, she gave Jia Cong forty taels and lied about the selling price of five taels a bottle.
The servants of Rongguo Mansion are so awesome.
Although Jia Cong knew that the wet nurse had got the big head, he didn't care about it. With these forty taels of silver at his disposal, he had enough start-up capital for other things.
Yes, this time he won the free control of profits. Although Li Ma was very unhappy, she didn't say much.
Without saying a word, Jia Cong gave the little maid Lingque five taels of silver as a benefit. After all, she was busy working hard and there was no benefit at all.
Before they could extend their claws into the small garden of the General's Mansion, the expected thing was revealed.
Mrs. Xing personally led Wang Shanbao's family and aggressively went to the remote courtyard where Jia Cong lived.
"Okay, you actually figured out how to make flower dew, why don't you hand it over voluntarily?"
The yard was still filled with the fragrance of flowers. Mrs. Xing was entitled to enjoy flower dew, so she immediately smelled the familiar smell.
The look he looked at Jia Cong was quite unkind. As for Mrs. Li, who turned pale with fright, and the little maid Lingque, they didn't pay attention at all.
Wang Shanbao's family, who came with her, had their faces filled with envy and jealousy. They carefully collected the remaining flower dew on the table and gave it to Mrs. Xing.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quite heavy.
"My wife misunderstood!"
The old man Jia Cong was there and said with a smile: "My child also heard the records in some miscellaneous books and tried to make a batch of it. Unexpectedly, it was actually made!"
Without waiting for Mrs. Xing to attack, he continued to smile: "I thought I would tell my wife in two days, but I didn't expect my wife to already know!"
"Really?"
Mrs. Xing's expression suddenly softened, her eyes roamed back and forth over Jia Cong, and she said suspiciously: "If I don't take the initiative to come over, I'm afraid you, the monkey, will continue to hide it!"
"How can it be?"
Jia Cong pretended to be wronged and said with a smile: "If I don't tell my wife, I won't dare to light up all the flowers in the garden!"
"If there aren't enough flowers, even if the child knows how to make flower dew, it will be useless!"
"Oh, do you need a lot of flowers to make flower dew?"
Mrs. Xing became interested, and she had long forgotten her previous unhappiness, and asked curiously: "How many flowers can be made from that small garden?"
"Only a few hundred bottles!"
Jia Cong made some calculations, shook his head and said: "The flowers in the small garden are all precious varieties. The flower dew made from it must be better, and it is also safe. It will naturally be more expensive to sell it!"
"so much!"
Mrs. Xing's eyes were bright. She knew that a bottle of floral dew on the market cost at least ten taels of silver, and hundreds of bottles would cost thousands of taels of silver.
For Mrs. Xing, who has always been greedy for money and stingy, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed.
“As the quantity increases, the price will naturally come down!”
Jia Cong's words directly dispelled Mrs. Xing's dream of making thousands of taels.
Not only that, he also revealed a rather bad guess: "And once the production scale expands, because the flower dew is simple to make, it will be easily leaked!"
Speaking of this, Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe, this is a one-time deal!"
"Why did it become a one-time deal?"
Mrs. Xing suddenly became anxious. Just now she had been dreaming of earning thousands of taels of silver a year.
Not only her, but also the Wang Shanbao family next to her, the nanny Li and the little maid Ling Que were not calm.
"Once the production method is revealed, those wealthy families will be able to make it at home, and their gardens will be filled with precious flowers!"
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "As for the officials and the common people, there are wild flowers everywhere on the roadside, and there are even wild flowers everywhere outside the city. No matter how difficult the family background is, ordinary people can make their own flower dew to taste it!"
"That……"
Mrs. Xing was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do.
As for complete confidentiality, she had never thought about it.
The Rongguo Mansion is a big sieve, and no secrets can be kept.
"Madam, there is no need to be discouraged. We can make this deal as large as possible and make a lot of money from it!"
Jia Cong smiled and comforted: "Not to mention too much, from high-end toilets sold to wealthy families to mid-range toilets sold to ordinary officials and merchants, as long as they are run properly, it should not be a problem to earn a few thousand taels, and maybe even more!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Xing became energetic again.
Earning several thousand taels of silver in one go is already a lot, and she is completely satisfied, so what else is there to say?
As for the initial plan to settle the score with Jia Cong and dig out the money earned by this kid, they have long been forgotten.
Even if she is stingy and stingy like her, she still knows that she cannot let the horse run again, and she is unwilling to let the horse eat grass. Compared with the income of tens of thousands of taels of silver, the few taels of silver that Jia Cong earned are nothing at all...
