Chapter 50: Have Fun
This time I have been playing for a few days. His Majesty Li Er also has to go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the heat. He will not come back for at least a few months, which makes me happy to think about it.
Along the way, the smile on Xiao Zhao's face never disappeared. He either talked to the second brother riding a horse next to the car or teased the two birds. The scenery along the way, whether it is good or bad, is a novel and pleasing feeling in the eyes of the little girl.
Seeing the villa from afar and the white walls and red tiles, Xiao Zhao was so excited that she almost jumped out of the car. The huge expectation made her want to step in and see the various toys that her brother made for her.
After a long time, Zhuangzi changed a little. According to Xu Qilin's request, drainage ditches were dug in the dirt roads in Zhuangzi, so that the places where trees could be planted should not be left empty. You should clean the door in front of your house so that you don't have any manure or weeds.
The lime fertilization pond was built in a hilly area far from the village, and the stinking smell was already very faint.
In short, Zhuangzi seemed clean and tidy. Although Xu Qilin invested a lot of money behind this, it was worth it in his opinion.
The housekeeper Xu An had been waiting with his servants for a long time. Seeing the car approaching, he hurried forward to greet him and directed his servants to carry them.
Xiao Zhao jumped out of the car and called Sun Buer to run into the house. Xu Qilin hurriedly asked the maid who accompanied him to follow him to take care of his husband.
"I am still familiar with the house. Let's lead the young lady to walk around and play!" Scarlett left Ah Jiani to serve Xu Qilin, so he hurried to find Xiao Zhao.
"I knew that Alang and his wife were coming, so I cleaned up the house yesterday." Xu An accompanied Xu Qilin in and smiled and said his merits, "The things you should buy and buy, and the things you should buy will be prepared according to Alang's order."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Xu." Xu Qilin nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, you must have made no mistakes."
Xu An smiled so hard that his wrinkles became denser. He said a few words of modesty, leading Xu Qilin into the courtyard.
Xu Qilin did not go into the house immediately, and guided the servants to move the items he brought into each room.
"Carry it to the little lady's room, you didn't hear Alang's words!" Xu An scolded the two maids, turned around and accused Xu Qilin, "This is a slave sent by Alang a few days ago. He is clumsy and not familiar with it."
"Take it slow!" Xu Qilin smiled. Seeing that the things were almost carried, he turned around to find the girl.
Through the two courtyard walls, Xu Qilin heard the little sister's laughter.
When I walked into the back garden, I saw a small wooden train surrounded by green trees. Xiao Zhao, Fu Er and Scarlett were both on it, joking and having fun. There were two strong goats pulling in front of the car.
It is called a small train, but it is actually a board with wheels, with seats installed on it. There are carriage boards around it, and there are small doors that can move between the three cars. There is also a cloth shed on it, which can block the sunlight.
"Ga, Ga--" Sun Buer was a rural girl at least and knew a little about driving animals. He sat in front and drove a sheep with a branch.
But the sheep hadn't been trained for a few days and was not very obedient. They walked and stopped, which made Sun Buer shout and sweat all over his head.
Xu Qilin laughed and called the servant to give a few instructions. The servant left quickly. After a while, the servant came back with a bamboo pole, a piece of rope, and a handful of grass eaten by sheep.
Xu Qilin tied the grass to a bamboo pole, walked over and handed it to Sun Buer, and smiled and said, "Hang the grass in front of the sheep, and it will chase after it if it wants to eat it."
Sun Buer did as he said, indeed, saving much more effort than before.
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Xiao Zhao shouted, walked from the middle carriage to the front, took the bamboo pole, and teased the goat with the green grass.
Xu Qilin smiled and looked at it for a while, then told his servant to take care of him and turned around and left. Scarlett hurriedly jumped out of the car and changed into A Jiani to play with her. She rushed to serve her own A Lang.
Not long after returning to his room, Xu Bao, who was already the manager of the workshop, rushed to report to Xu Qilin.
The expansion of Xianglu Workshop has been completed. The most important thing is to build a brewing workshop, using advanced methods such as red lyrics, fermentation, heating and sterilization as stated in "Tiangong Kaiwu".
"Alang, this is the wine that has just been brewed." Xu Bao respectfully presented a porcelain bottle and said with a slight sensation: "A small taste is more intense and spicy than other people."
Xu Qilin poured a small cup, took a sip, and praised: "Okay, good wine. It has been better than other wines before it has been distilled. Thank you, General Xu, and thank you for your hard work."
After pausing, Xu Qilin asked again: "How much is this wine produced? Is it enough for fragrant dew?"
Xu Bao hurriedly replied: "The first cellar has a small amount of wine, mainly for experiments. Now it seems that it has been successful. The second cellar will increase the quantity. Even if it is not enough to prepare fragrant dew, it will not be too much."
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "In this way, there is no need to buy wine from outside in the future and distillate it. Manager Xu went back to tell the craftsmen that he would go to the workshop to check in one afternoon and reward them heavily."
Xu Bao was overjoyed, bowed and reported to Xu Qilin about other things about the workshop.
The production of the Xianglu workshop has been stable. Although the new Xianglu that uses high-alcohol as solvent medium has a certain inventory, it has not yet been launched on the market.
The key is that the cost of buying wine from outside is high, and now the raw material problem has finally been solved. The shops outside Chunlimen and Jinguangmen are also obtained, and they can be opened for sale.
In addition to fragrant lotus, Xu Qilin is also preparing to launch bath products, namely pure natural shower gel, shampoo and face wash solution processed with soapberry and Wuwanzi. They are all added with spices, and after washing, they are fragrant and refreshing.
As for soap and soap, Xu Qilin is also preparing to start developing and forming a cleansing series of products for their own products, mainly for the majority of beauty lovers, including high, medium and low grades.
The manufacturing of soap has no technical content, and alkalis and oils only react saponification. For Xu Qilin, who is a major in chemistry and helped his mother make handmade soaps in later generations, there is no pressure.
But this thing cannot be as profitable as Xianglu. At that time, the people probably used more local methods, which made Xu Qilin a little unhappy.
But since you have to open a shop, the products are too single, and the fragrance is very popular. It is not good that most of the time, the shelves are empty, which is also annoying.
Since it is a cleaning series, Xu Qilin naturally cannot fall into toothbrush and toothpaste, and he has really chewed enough willow branches. What is "chewing teeth in the morning" is both troublesome and uncomfortable.
What's the difficulty of using bones, horns, bamboos, wood and other materials to make the shape of a toothbrush handle, drilling the upper eye on the head, and implanting a ponytail or a boar bristle? It's just a matter of thinking, not a limitation of technology.
