Chapter 1351 Inspecting the Flower Field
Everyone else is here, only Lily is not there.
So Qiao Xuan told Uncle Qing that she wanted to see the lily scales that were picked out as seeds.
Uncle Qing quickly led her to look.
All the lily scales selected to be seeds are buried in the sand, and a gardener who is specially responsible for taking care of them decides whether to water and how much to water each time according to the dryness and wetness of the sand.
Uncle Qing also explained to Qiao Xuan why he kept it like this.
Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile. This is indeed the best way to preserve it. Uncle Qing and the others hired gardeners of course not bad.
After pouring the supernatural power into the scale ball, Qiao Xuan took a look at Zhao Shu's tea farm and helped him by the way.
The tea farm is built on the mountain, going up around the mountain, and it looks beautiful from a distance. In order to cover up the perfume workshop, Zhao Shu and the others also worked very hard. The tea tree seedlings planted in this tea farm are three-year-old seedlings, which can be picked in the next spring.
The perfume workshop extracts essential oils from petals in a courtyard in a specially built farmhouse, and then mixes them to obtain bottles of perfume. This whole process is not difficult, but it is very cumbersome and meticulous, and it is a delicate and rigorous job.
There is no ready-made person who can do this in Daqin, but the principle of preparing spices and fragrant cakes is similar to this.
Now it is quite proficient to get started.
The essential oils extracted before have almost been used up. By the end of this month, the perfume workshop will be temporarily closed. The workshop will be opened in mid-spring next year.
The next day, Uncle Qing didn't wait for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunyun to find him, he personally took the ledger and took the initiative to come to the door, and asked him to check the accounts one by one.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunyun had always trusted Zhao Shu's master and servant, and checking the ledger was just a passing move. They simply looked at the income and expenditure, and then left the general ledger for a closer look, and returned it to Uncle Qing the next day.
A total of 2,268 bottles of perfume were sold this year, and the income was 228,300 taels.
According to the four or six points of the two sides, Qiao Xuan accounted for four, which is more than 9300 silver.
Uncle Qing presented the silver note respectfully, and also presented two exquisite gift boxes, laughingly said that the son had prepared it before, and it was a New Year's gift for Master Shao and Madam Shao.
The two then stayed in Hangzhou for five or six days, playing around in and out of the city and in the outer suburbs.
Jiangnan in the early winter really has another elegant scenery. The colorful fallen leaves reflect the landscape, which is different from the Fragrant Hills outside the capital.
Qiao Xuan also bought a lot of Jiangnan specialties In addition to silk and satin, embroidery, Hangzhou fans, Longjing, smoked duck, winter bamboo shoots, lotus root starch, sweet-scented osmanthus honey, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and other foods.
Zhao Shu's life-long event is a bit difficult to think about, and he has not come back for so many days.
Naturally, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunyun couldn't stay here forever, so they had to return to Beijing first.
Although Zhao Shu insisted on giving Qiao Xuan a 30% profit from the mulberry garden in Yangzhou, the mulberry garden had nothing to do with Qiao Xuan at first. Just a tricky thing.
He has already received the benefits of several hundred thousand taels of silver, how can he keep taking it for nothing?
This is already a lot.
If he insists on giving it again next year, Qiao Xuan will take at most 100,000 taels, and he will never ask for it again.
Then it is naturally inappropriate for her and Shao Yunyun to go to Yangzhou to inspect the mulberry garden at this time. Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, let's go back to Beijing!
