Chapter 493 The Cannon Fodder Cousin of the Hero of the Imperial Examination (15)

   "I'll teach you how to use it first."

  Essential oils can be used in a wide range of ways. The most commonly used method is to add a few drops to warm water when bathing, and it is also suitable for foot baths.

  The second is the fumigation method, drop a few drops into the lamp, and the aroma of essential oil will be volatilized after lighting the candle.

   In addition, there are direct wiping and massage methods.

Xu Yin said: "...What I said above, one is incense, and the other is calming the nerves. But lavender essential oil has a unique effect, that is, pain relief, disinfection, and sterilization. If you sprain your ankle, it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones. , but a little swelling and pain, rubbing with this essential oil can quickly relieve the symptoms of congestion and swelling... Rosemary essential oil also has its unique effect, it can condition our skin, make the skin firm and elastic, especially suitable for no longer Young women with sagging skin use…”

  When the women heard this, they exchanged joyful glances with each other, and decided to use it when they went back.

  The younger generations were a little embarrassed when they heard it, and launched a representative period Ai Ai stepped forward and asked: "Girl, the rosemary essential oil is useless to us, can I replace it with lavender?"

  They are particularly fond of lavender's "pain relief, disinfection, and sterilization" effects.

  Xu Yin said with a smile: "If you want to change, of course you can. But, don't you want to take it home to send your mother or sister?"

   Having said that, they withdrew the idea of ​​changing.

  Xu Yin said again: "The effect of essential oil wiping and massage is obviously significant, but the consumption is much greater than that of bathing and fumigation. As the first batch of workers in this workshop, I can give you a discounted internal price."

   Of course, there is a purchase limit.

   Otherwise, customers outside will entrust them to buy. Is Xu's Spice Shop still in business?

  The young people heard the words, joy was written all over their faces, and they all bowed to Xu Yin to thank him.

   It's not for the internal purchase price of essential oils, but for being able to work in the fragrance workshop.

  From now on, they are the craftsmen of the fragrance workshop.

  The salary paid by the Xu family has never been low. For example, a mountain farmer hired to maintain flowers and plants on the mountain can get one tael of silver every month.

   You know, if you go to the city to do part-time jobs, you will work from dawn to dusk, and work hard for a month.

  Xu Yin gave them a monthly payment of three taels of silver, plus overtime work and bonuses at the end of the year.

  But you must sign a three-year contract of living.

  In three years, they can only work in Xu's Fragrance Workshop, they are not allowed to bring outsiders into the workshop, and they are not allowed to disclose the specific work process. Once discovered, the company will be dismissed and compensated for the losses suffered by the fragrance workshop.

   As for three years later, whether they are willing to stay or be poached by jealous colleagues as skilled workers is up to them to choose.

  She believes that if she is given three years to develop Xu's Fragrance Workshop, even if the system tasks are still not completed after three years, Xu's Fragrance will also be famous, and she is not afraid that these guys will change jobs with their skills.

   These young people repeatedly promise that they will never sell Fragrance House.

   "Don't worry, girl! Don't say it's just three years, five years, ten years or even a lifetime, we are willing to stay in Xu's Fragrance Workshop."

   "Yes! Girl, why don't you stay for three years, and we'll sign a long contract."

  Xu Yin couldn't stop laughing: "Let's sign for three years first. If you are still willing to stay in Xu's after three years, I will definitely welcome you."

   Then let Xu Kui take them to sign the contract and receive uniform uniforms, and they will be workers in the fragrance workshop from now on.

  The family members of these people were very happy when they heard about it. They climbed over two mountains and sent Xu Yin the vegetables they grew and the chickens and ducks they raised.

  Xu Yinshou was fasting, and asked her mother-in-law to return the chickens and ducks.

  The seasonal vegetables and some dried beans, dried bamboo shoots and other dried vegetables were left behind and sent to the kitchen by the maid.

  The chef prepared a table of vegetarian eight immortals for Xu Yin that day.

   Not to mention, eating too much vegetarian food makes the whole body light and smooth, and it really has a sense of immortal elegance.

   Fortunately, this small world has a complete range of soy products, including tofu, tofu skin, and dried fragrant.

  The other courtyard on the tea mountain, the most indispensable thing is tea.

  Xu Yin asked the cook to serve a pot of old tofu and dried tea every now and then. The former serves as a meal, while the latter serves as a snack.

   The cook saw that soy products are so delicious when boiled with tea leaves, so what else?

  So he was free and developed new dishes: tea-flavored porridge, tea-flavored soup, tea-flavored vegetarian chicken, tea-flavored vegetarian meat, tea-flavored mashed potatoes...

  Xu Yin also asked him to cook a pot of tea eggs every day to nourish the servants.

  The servants on duty in the other courtyard have new dishes to eat every day, and occasionally run errands back to the mansion. When they talk about this, all the servants in the mansion are envious.

  Eating a vegetarian dish can still eat flowers? It's a blessing to follow the girl.

  …

  After the establishment of the fragrance workshop, it began to produce essential oils step by step.

  The lavender and rosemary blooming on the mountain are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xu Kui found a time when Xu Yin was free, and came to ask her for advice: "Girl, the flowers on this mountain alone may not be able to supply for a few days. The village chief just looked for the young one, and wanted to ask the girl if she needed it." Clear out the other chai hills and plant flowers?"

"Yes." Xu Yin put down the miscellaneous books in her hand, and began to discuss seriously with Xu Kui, "Originally, I planned to clean up after the new year, and the spring is just the time to sow seeds. These two kinds of flowers are more suitable for spring planting and summer harvest. If everyone If you are idle, it is okay to organize people to start work now, but the sowing must be delayed until the beginning of spring.”

   After a pause, Xu Yin pondered and said: "I'm worried, after all the firewood mountains are opened up to grow spices, where will the people of Xujia Village go to cut firewood?"

   "Hi! What's the matter!" Xu Kui said with a smile, "Young lady doesn't know something. People in Xujia Village all expect her to hire them to work! If you have money, why don't you worry about not being able to buy firewood?"

  Xu Yin thought about it, she was right!

   It’s like people living in towns and cities, don’t they all buy firewood and charcoal for fire?

  She hires villagers to work and pays them wages. With a stable income every month, the life of the villagers will get better and better. If you need anything, just buy it.

  Changing his mind, Xu Yinmao suddenly realized, and immediately asked Xu Kui to notify the village chief to organize people to clean up the other firewood mountains.

  After Xu Kui left, Xu Yin took out a pen and paper to plan.

  If all the Chaishan Mountains are developed into Spice Mountains, this will be the planting base of Xiangfangfang in the future.

There are more and more types of spices such as   , and the fragrance workshop is likely to be expanded.

  Expand the workshop, increase the manpower, strive to provide a job for every villager in Xujia Village...the village may develop into a town.

  Xu Yin made plans while pondering.

   However, right now, she still has a more important task, which is to try to formulate a perfume with essential oils.

   Only when the perfume comes out, the system task can be expected to be completed.

  Thinking of this, her heart surged, and she didn't want to be salty anymore.

   Go to the kitchen first and collect a pot of distilled water.

   Then let Ziyuan go to fetch the local grain wine with the highest alcohol concentration that the custodian bought a few days ago.

  But she didn't intend to use this wine instead of alcohol to make perfume. In the eyes of people in this dynasty, the most drunk wine is used to make perfume, and the alcohol content is still not high enough.
