Chapter 20 Fragrance comes out
In the Tang Dynasty, few people rode horses and rode horses in a very prosperous atmosphere. As long as conditions permit, they could afford horses. Not only men, but also women often rode horses out.
As for the sedan chairs carried by people, they were called "shoulder carriage", "steer carriage", "waist carriage" and "eaves", which were usually travel tools for the elderly, young, sick, disabled and pregnant people.
Therefore, Xu Qilin neither wants to suffer from a car, nor does he think that men can show their masculine and heroic side when riding horses.
Although he is not a famous horse like "Ferrari" or "Lamborghini" under his seat, he is considered a low-cost and safe BYD with a smooth four-shoe driving. Xu Qilin is still very satisfied with this.
Chenjiazhuang is next to Xujiazhuang, but the fields are much larger, as if they don’t have a deep background, they are just old landlords, and they seem to be in business.
Anyway, the impression that Old Landlord Chen gave Xu Qilin was like this. His round figure and fat face were said to be a rich man, and his words and expressions also showed the shrewdness and philanthropy of a businessman.
Although Xu Qilin was not a living person, he did not have the intention to repay kindness.
He sent Chen Mengwei home and ended the situation of being in chaos. He politely rejected the old landlord's kind invitation, and did not even enter the gate. He went back to his own village with a few polite words.
"The crazy girl from Chen Laocai's family?" After hearing this, Xu An showed off in front of Xu Qilin, "I heard that he was the eldest daughter. When she was a child, she was frightened and crazy."
"The thief who burglaries?" Xu Qilin felt that this thief was brave enough. Should he also strengthen his guardians?
Xu An nodded and said, "The government has concluded and has also captured two thief children."
"There hasn't been a thief nearby now?" Xu Qilin was more concerned about this public security issue.
"There are also thieves, but they haven't made too much trouble." Xu An continued: "Later, the Chen family looked for doctors and medicine everywhere, but the crazy girl was not cured. She looked old and wanted to find someone to marry, but the dowry was rich, but she had never been suitable."
If you cure your mental illness, you will never dare to say this in your future generations, let alone now.
If you want to marry your crazy daughter out, it is not enough to have a generous dowry. You also have to worry that a man with bad intentions will treat his daughter harshly for the sake of money!
Xu Qilin shook his head gently, and he felt very sympathetic to Chen Laocai. It would be awful enough for anyone to have such a thing.
Xu An obviously lacked such sympathy. He laughed strangely and said, "Just because of his Chen family, he still wants to attack our village! Hehe, don't inquire, is the Xu family that he, a rich man, can covet?"
Xu Qilin laughed twice and said, "There are indeed some difficulties in the past or two years. Zhuangzi is entirely supported by Uncle An, adding items to the family and not selling land and houses."
Xu An hurriedly expressed humility and said that it was his duty.
Xu Qilin casually inquired about the situation in the surrounding villages and asked about the progress of digging the pond and fermenting fertilizer.
"Oh, the old man has to go and see how the lime is burning. He has to watch it even if he digs a pond. The money account is not supervising. Don't let these guys just eat, drink and not work." Xu An seemed to have been reminded and hurriedly said goodbye.
Xu An didn't say that he was loyal. But he was a little petty, not so generous, and not very educated.
It’s stingy, and you can understand it even if you think about it. If it weren’t for the careful calculation, it would be difficult to get through the difficult period after the death of the old Xu and his wife.
At that time, the Xu Qilin brothers were still young and did not understand the management of the Zhuangzi. Thanks to Xu Hui's secret support and Xu An's loyalty and hard work, he did not sell his property.
Now, although Xu Qilin is still a twelve-year-old kid, he is confidently moving towards the road to becoming rich. When he accumulates more funds, he will not move forward, but will run away.
Just as he was looking forward to a beautiful life of wealth and a group of wives and concubines, Xu Bao came to report with the steamed fragrant dew.
"Erlang, this has been steamed three times, I don't know if it's up to the requirements." Xu Bao opened the cork in the bottle and the fragrance came to his nose.
Xu Qilin rolled his eyes. There was no such thing as smelling perfume. It was not professional at all. He took the bottle and gently fanned it with his hands to let the fragrance enter his nose. He nodded slightly intoxicatedly.
Xu Bao was used to Xu Qilin's test methods, and was a little nervous and expectantly waiting for the head of the family to comment.
"Okay, this is suitable." Xu Qilin finally nodded in recognition and said with a smile: "It's really hard work. I'll go to the account to pay a reward of 200 yuan tomorrow."
Xu Bao hurriedly bowed deeply and thanked him, and was overjoyed.
Xu Qilin pondered and said, "This workshop will be left to you to take care of. The steamed fragrant dew will be delivered to the mansion of Chang'an City every ten days. As for the output, keep the current level first; if you want to increase it, I will give you instructions."
"Yes, the younger ones understand." Xu Bao immediately felt that his status was a little higher, he was no longer an ordinary servant, and he was equivalent to being a manager.
Xu Qilin looked at Xu Bao with appreciation and said, "I will do my best to produce tomorrow and work overtime at night. How much can I produce? The day after tomorrow, I will take it back to Chang'an."
Xu Bao blinked and said, "That little guy told the workers in the shop to take turns working overtime tonight and try to produce as much as possible."
The word "worker" was learned by Xu Bao from Xu Qilin, and now it sounds smooth.
Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "Okay. You go to the day shift and the evening shift, don't let the workers be too tired; the wages will increase by three cents."
"Don't worry, Erlang, let's make arrangements for me, and it will definitely be appropriate." Xu Bao gave another tribute and turned away.
The big thing has been done! Xu Qilin took the small bottle and smelled the fragrance, and was so happy.
Perfumes and flower dew with medicinal materials are rare things that the Tang Dynasty did not have. For the Tang people who love to keep up with fashion and pursue fashion, they are just unstoppable temptations!
…………………
A day later, after dinner in the morning, Xu Qilin took dozens of kilograms of fragrant dew made from overtime and embarked on the road back to Chang'an with great enthusiasm.
Next to the convertible carriage carrying cargo, Carpenter Sun's family was sitting around. The little girl looked around curiously.
That's right, Xu Qilin found a maid for his sister, who was the "wild" girl Sun Sanni.
It’s not that she looks like a flower, but that her parents’ craftsmanship conquered Xu Qilin and became a long-time employed craftsman in the Xu family, and brought her with her.
Sun Asi did a good job in carpentry. In addition to taking action, his wife Sun Li was good at carving. Perhaps it was a woman's relationship, so doing this kind of meticulous work is more suitable.
"80,000". Xu Qilin was playing with a wooden card in his hand. The edges and corners had been worn off. If he made more than a hundred pieces, he could play mahjong with a crackling sound!
