The general's wife is sick

"Are you shy?" Tang Junyi still spoke wickedly, "It's human nature to be in love, you..."

"Shut your mouth!" The door behind him suddenly opened, and Ji Liufei kicked Tang Junyi, this time kicking Tang Junyi squarely, "If you have bad intentions, go back to the south!"

"Ouch!" Tang Junyi got kicked and rushed forward.

Zhu Changyuan stretched out his long arms and dragged the ingredients away in time, "Good morning, Young Madam."

Cheng Cheng panicked at his feet, grabbed Zhu Changyuan's sleeve in time, and was shocked, "Morning, young master!"

"What are you messing around at the door early in the morning!"

Tang Junyi rubbed his butt, his whole face was full of complaints, "You hit too hard, if you kick me, no one will give you the "Red Lantern" seeds!"

Ji Liuzheng was angry and ignored him, and walked out the door. Although it was cold in winter, the air was absolutely fresh.

"Composition, go prepare the meals, Brother Zhu, ask someone to open up the two rooms in the west wing, and build the fireplace and fire wall. I will give you the blueprint later, and you will supervise the work, and it will be completed within three days."

"Young Madam, it's not suitable to start work in the cold winter."

Zhu Changyuan reminded Ji Liu that the temperature is low in winter and few people build houses.

"With enough charcoal fire in the house, the west wing room must be remodeled according to my requirements within three days. I have something important to do."

"Okay, young lady."

After breakfast, Ji Liu ordered people to find a place with lush vegetation outside the city, sweep away the snow covering it, dig up the frozen ground below, sieve through the big stones, and then load the soil into a truck and transport it to the mansion.

Tang Junyi is still doing his best to be Ji Liu's little tail.

Ji Liu said, "Don't be idle, I have other things for you."

The spices sent by Hasa Khan have been processed into granules with a fragrant aroma, but this spice is too pungent, and only the grassland people who live with cattle and sheep every day like this kind of spice that can cover up the smell of sheep. .

People in the Central Plains can hardly smell this strong scent of spices, so Ji Liu is going to process it on the basis of spices to make a perfume that suits most people's tastes.

Knowing that there is money to be made, Tang Junyi ignored the severe cold, and drove all the way to the winery. According to Ji Liu's instructions, he packed the distilled high-strength liquor in barrels and brought them back to the mansion.

Money is calling, and he is no longer thinking about why Ji Liu didn't taste the wine brought back home with him, Le Diandian assisted Ji Liu, he was so busy, he didn't know how hard it was.

In the study, Ji Liu covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, and mixed beeswax and high-grade wine with spices to make two kinds of finished products, solid balm and liquid perfume.

The solid balm is simple, and it is like lip balm when it is made. Heating beeswax and spices, heating with water, so that the two are fully mixed, and finally the balm is obtained after it is dried naturally.

Liquid perfume is more troublesome. The spices are directly added to a certain amount of high-grade wine. After the wine liquid completely dissolves the spices, it is filtered again and put into a bottle to stand still.

There was no glass, so Ji Liu had to use porcelain bottles, which had a narrow mouth for small pills, to pour the perfume into with a funnel, and then leave the mouth open inside the house to wait for the alcohol to evaporate.

After the alcohol has evaporated, what remains is a safe perfume liquid.

But Tang Junyi was impatient, and when he saw that the finished product had been produced, he poured out a drop on his hand.

Ji Liu taught him to drip the perfume on his wrist. This perfume smells comfortable, without the pungent fragrance of spice particles, but a faint fragrance lingers around the body. Except for some alcohol smell, the overall smell is still very good of.

The first time the perfume was successful, Tang Junyi happily picked out a few scents he liked.

"You go back and leave it open for two days. After two days, wait for the perfume to completely lose the smell of alcohol before using it." Ji Liu told Tang Junyi that the current perfume contains alcohol, which will not only affect the smell of the perfume but also irritate the skin when used on the body.

"One box of spices can make so many balms and perfumes. It's really a good business to make money! As usual, I will pay for it, and you will do it. After the finished product is sold in my shop, I will give you [-]%!"

Seeing Tang Junyi's abacus well, Ji Liu sat opposite him, bent her slender fingers and tapped twice on the table, "Do you know who I am now?"

"Of course I know, you are the wife of Northwest General Xiong Jinghai." Tang Junyi sniffed the scent of the perfume and felt comfortable physically and mentally.

Ji Liu nodded, "Since you know it, you still plan to bully me. Do you think it's because I'm not strong enough now or you are being arrogant?"

Tang Junyi chuckled, "Hey, I'm not used to it, bah, look at me slapping myself, how about four or six points?"

"Yes." Ji Liu agreed.

"I knew Liu'er was kind-hearted..."

"I am six, you are four!" Ji Liu added.

Tang Junyi was about to jump up in an instant, but he was soothed by Ji Liu's words, "Not only the balm and perfume, but also the next wool blanket, and all the spicy dishes in the coming spring. I will do my best. You just need to invest money."

"What about the grassland trade routes?" Tang Junyi, like Ji Liu, has been in business since childhood, and his business acumen should not be underestimated. Compared with other small businesses, he pays more attention to the fat meat of the grassland trade routes.

Grassland people lack food and clothing, so as long as they prepare their daily necessities and special products of the Central Plains, they will definitely be able to earn a lot of money in the hands of these people.

"Same!" Ji Liu calculated that Tang Junyi would definitely agree to this share ratio.

This is the Northwest. He has a court background now. It is very different from the past when he was hiding and hiding for fear that others would know that he was the third-double young man of Jifu, and anyone could step on his feet. Now even without Tang Junyi, he is still the same You can find someone to invest, but it is more convenient to cooperate with Tang Junyi.

"Okay, it's settled like this, when Xu Fan arrives, let's draw up an agreement!"

"Is the perfume enough? Not enough to pick a few more."

Ji Liu suggested with a smile, and Tang Junyi, who really regarded money as his life, shouted "how can this make" his hands kept moving, and picked a few more and stuffed them into his arms.

"You're welcome, we're family."

The north wind blows at night, and there will definitely be heavy snow tomorrow, and the cold wind howls in the corridor, it is really cold.

Cheng was dressed thickly, and stood anxiously outside Zhu Changyuan's door, pacing back and forth.

Xiong Jinghai and Ji Liu took the three young masters to rest tonight. He and Sister Chun took turns to watch the night.

"How long are you going to walk outside?" Zhu Changyuan opened the door, the candlelight in the room was reflected on Cheng Cheng's face, and Cheng looked up at him.

"Brother Zhu!" I was not ready to be caught on the spot, and my mouth was a little dry.

He took out from his pocket the small bottle of wine that Ji Liuzhun had brought with him at the wine shop, and handed it over, "Brother Zhu, the winter night is cold, this bottle of wine is for you to warm up, I have to watch the night later, I'm leaving first !"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Cheng trotted away.

Holding the warm bottle, Zhu Changyuan only thought that the bottle of wine might have been warmed in Cheng's arms for a long time. He raised his eyes to look at the back of Cheng's running away, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.

Two days later, all the alcohol in the perfume had evaporated, and the renovation of the west wing room was successfully completed.

Lit a charcoal fire and left it in the west wing for another two days to dry the room thoroughly. There was heavy snow outside the window, and everyone in the house was cleaning up the soil.

Put the sifted soil into a pot and drill a small hole under the clay pot to facilitate drainage. A planting base similar to a flower pot is ready. After planting seeds in the future, peppers can grow in the pot.

The Tang family received the news from Tang Junyi, and arranged for someone to come on horseback to deliver chili seeds to Tang Junyi.

Light the fireplace, and the temperature in the house gradually rises. The gas with temperature passes through the fire wall and retains the heat completely. After passing through the wall, the heat is released slowly, making the temperature of the entire west wing room suitable. A few charcoal basins are placed in the middle of the house. Ji Liu took the ingredients, and Zhu Changyuan planted the peppers in the soil.

After pouring the water, the ingredients are arranged to stare at the charcoal basin in the greenhouse, and always pay attention to the temperature of the greenhouse.

It has been snowing heavily for the past few days, Ji Liu has not gone out, Zhu Changyuan has nothing to do, so he and Cheng are guarding in the greenhouse.

The temperature in the conservatory is high, and the firewood for the fireplace is constantly burning day and night. The two rooms in the west wing are filled with flower pots.

Cheng was wearing a cloak, which he took off and hung on the hanger after he entered the greenhouse. It was as warm as spring, and the windows were covered with light-transmitting rice paper. As long as there was light outside the house, the inside would be bright.

Zhu Changyuan was at the door, and there was a sleeve arrow on his cuff, which he had already held in his hand. The iron arrows were carefully oiled to ensure that they would not be stained by sweat and rusted all year round.

The ingredients were sitting on the chair, he was grinding the medicinal materials, watching the coal fire was not a big deal to him at all.

He also has nothing to do when he doesn't have to serve, but he is used to all the work in the mansion, and when his hands are idle for a while, he just finds it very boring, so he finds some work to do.

In the room, the sound of Xiaoshi rolling over the medicinal materials could be clearly heard, the ingredients stopped, poured out the powdered medicinal materials, and then added some finely chopped medicinal materials, there was already half a pot of powder crushed beside him, Zhu Changyuan held the Xiu Jian stood in front of him, and the cowhide Xiu Jian appeared in front of Cheng Cheng. Cheng raised his head to look at him, Zhu Changyuan said, "I don't have strength with one hand, please help me tie it on my wrist."

Full lips parted slightly, round face and round eyes, "Brother Zhu, do you want me to help you?"

Zhu Changyuan stood still, with the sleeve arrow still in front of his eyes, "There is no one else here."

"Oh, good." Cheng Cheng took the sleeve arrow, lowered his head, his small palm was covered by the large cowhide sleeve arrow.

Zhu Changyuan looked down at him, and clearly saw that Cheng's ears were slowly turning red.

There was a smile on his lips, and Zhu Changyuan's eyes turned to the top of his head again. The jet-black hair was coiled on his head, and a silver hairpin was inserted neatly. On the surface, he appeared to be fair-skinned and charming in his eyes.

Carefully tied the sleeve arrow for Zhu Changyuan, looked up, but didn't dare to look directly at him, "Tie...it's done, Brother Zhu."

"Thank you, the wine you sent earlier is delicious."

"It's all about the young master's winemaking skills."

"No, it took your body temperature, so it made it softer and more delicious."

Cheng's face flushed instantly, he opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound, the red color extended all the way to his neck and disappeared into his collar.
