Fang Yinnian, who felt that he did not work hard enough and was not taken seriously by the enemy, squatted beside the stove and looked at the light yellow liquid slowly flowing out of the distillation copper tube, his eyes gleaming!
As the light yellow liquid flowed out, the whole house was filled with an extremely strong floral fragrance.
The winery manager who came to see Fang Yinnian smelled the strong fragrance of flowers as soon as he walked to the door of the courtyard. He walked a little faster and shouted as he walked.
"Fang Langjun, what is this? Why does it smell so good? Could it be flower wine?"
Fang Yinnian, who was still staring at the liquid intently, Hearing this, he waved his hands quickly: "You can't say that. I am a good young man who is committed to the all-round development of morality, intelligence, body and beauty! How can I go to drink flower wine?"
The manager of the winery didn't understand what a good young man meant. Anyway, Fang Langjun became more and more strange since he called the fruit winery, always saying things that people couldn't understand.
The steward came closer to Fang Yinnian and saw the streams of yellow liquid. He felt that his whole body was about to be surrounded by the fragrance of flowers: "What is this?"
" Essential oil is extracted from flowers." Fang Yinnian clenched his hands, his eyes shining like stars in the dark night.
“No matter where you are, it is women who make the most money!”
It seems that in this world, not only women love beauty, but even men like to wear hairpins on their heads, Fang Yin Nian changed his words and said: "No, people who love beauty make the most money!"
The extracted liquid is not yet a real essential oil. You need to let it sit for a while, and the pure essential oil will separate into two layers with water.
As for the separated water, it can be sold separately or added to soap, turning the original plain soap into scented soap.
With the shogunate’s cornucopia of methods, they will definitely be able to maximize the effects of these two things!
Even if the general doesn't take action personally, she still has Madam Su and Ma Nantian under her. These two alone are very powerful figures in the business world of Dazhou!
It would take about one night to get the finished product. Fang Yinnian told others to guard the yard and not allow others to come in, and then left with the steward.
"Fang Langjun, we are running out of lard." The steward sighed, what a happy trouble this is!
Fang Yinnian was a little dumbfounded. He came from a world rich in materials in later generations. He thought that running a winery would encounter many difficulties, such as being assassinated and being tricked by his colleagues. But he did not expect that he would encounter many difficulties because of Lack of lard affects production!
“What should I do?” Fang Yinnian was anxious!
Steward: "The general had anticipated this situation! When he opened the winery, he had already begun to encourage the people to raise pigs. However, there would be slightly more people watching at first, and pig raising It will also take time. During this period, we may have to rely on lard from elsewhere, but the cost will be higher."
Fang Yinnian breathed a sigh of relief when the manager said this. This fruit wine is inherently profitable. If the cost goes up, just go up. It's just the difference between making more and making less.
However, he is indeed a great general! How prescient!
Fang Yinnian sighed, he was only responsible for developing technology, and running a small fruit wine factory had already encountered such huge difficulties!
General, if she wants to manage the entire Yunzhou, how difficult is it for her to manage such a large piece of land in the future? ! He is worthy of being a famous person throughout history!
In order to develop essential oils, Fang Yinnian has not been home for nearly ten days. His parents, brothers and sisters-in-law had just arrived in Huaishuo Town, and Fang Yinnian couldn't worry about them, so after explaining the good things, Fang Yinnian Went home for a trip.
"Yao'er, why are you back today free?" Aunt Fang was overjoyed when she saw Fang Yinnian at the door.
Since arriving in Yunzhou, he has seemed like a new person. He is no longer as lazy as before, and sometimes he can sleep until noon.
He is just like Dayu who controls floods, he can pass through the house three times without entering. It is rare that he has a leisurely mind today and wants to go home.
“Aniang, what are you doing?”
Fang Yinnian watched curiously as his father and several brothers were carrying wood, as if they were building a house.
The Fang family lives in a courtyard with two entrances. There is a well in the middle of the open space, and there are two small vegetable patches on the side of the east house, which are Aunt Fang's favorite. Today, one of the vegetable plots has been leveled and four pillars have been inserted into it.
Aunt Wang called Fang Yinnian to help the brothers: "Aren't we responding to the call and planning to raise pigs? Piggy has already been contacted!"
"Ha?! Auntie, you don't even have chickens You can't even feed the cubs, but you still want to raise pigs!" Fang Yinnian said speechlessly.
“What nonsense are you talking about?! If I can’t raise chickens well, it’s because the chickens are not strong! Raising pigs is different. The county government has dedicated people to educate pigs. If the pigs get sick, there will be people to help them. See a doctor!”
Aunt Fang thinks it’s her own problem if she couldn’t feed those beasts before? That is completely due to the local government’s inaction!
Fang Yinnian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Auntie, do you want to stop thinking about it?"
"I won't consider it anymore. All the neighbors raise pigs. If I don't raise pigs, won't I look out of place?"
......
Pig raising seems to have become a thing in Yunzhou. It’s a fashionable thing. Anyone with a spacious yard at home should have one or two.
As long as people are more diligent and clean the pig pens frequently, the smell will not be that big.
Every day there is a special person to collect pig manure and pig urine, saying that the farmers want to use it for retting.
Many old farmers who have been farming all their lives couldn't believe it when they heard this. If pig feces and pig urine were used to irrigate the fields, wouldn't they burn all the wheat to death?
However, the general did not stop it, which means that there may be a way to turn these pig manure into fertility.
"Aunt Geng, I'm not sure about something, and I'd like to hear your opinion." Mrs. Wang walked in carrying a bag of square paper-wrapped snacks.
Spring and summer are the off-peak seasons for canneries. Aunt Geng is not as busy as in autumn and winter, and she spends more time at home.
"You're here now. What snacks do you bring? Take this back quickly and leave it for your grandson." Aunt Geng poured a glass of water for Mrs. Wang and refused to take her snacks.
This old lady Wang worked desperately and was reluctant to give up food and clothing. This time she came to see me with a bag of snacks. She must be in trouble.
They are all from the countryside, and if they can lend a hand, they will naturally lend a hand.
Old Mrs. Wang sat down and after a few words of greeting, she told her why she was here: "Aunt Geng, I want to raise piglets. Do you think it's still too late?"
Aunt Geng exposed herself A look of astonishment: "You must have come in time. That fruit winery needs The lard is gone. Even if we don’t have the pork in the future, we can still make money just by selling pork.”
Now the cannery is developing canned braised pork, but the smell of pig is difficult to remove. If you add a lot of wine and spices, the cost will be very high, and it is not cost-effective to take out.
I heard that after the pigs are stirred up, the pigs will not have such a strong smell. However, the stirred pigs have not yet been raised. Only when they grow up can we know whether this is true.
“But Mrs. Wang, your yard is a bit small, I’m afraid I can’t raise pigs.”
