Chapter 493 The cannon-fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination essay (15)

 “I’ll teach you how to use it first.”

 Essential oils are widely used. The most commonly used method is to add a few drops into warm water during bathing. It is also suitable for foot baths.

 The second is the fumigation method. Add a few drops into the lamp and the essential oil fragrance will evaporate after lighting the candle.

 In addition, there are direct wiping and massage methods.

Xu Yin said eloquently: "...What I mentioned above is firstly for incense and secondly for soothing the mind. But lavender essential oil has a unique effect, which is to relieve pain, disinfection, and sterilization. If you have a sprained foot, it does not hurt your muscles and bones. , but a little swollen and painful. Wiping it with this essential oil can quickly relieve the symptoms of congestion, swelling and pain... Rosemary essential oil also has its unique effects. It can condition our skin and make it firm and elastic. It is especially suitable for those who no longer have Used by young women with sagging skin..."

When the ladies heard this, they exchanged happy looks with each other and decided to use it when they went back.

The young people were a little embarrassed when they heard this, so they pushed out a representative, Qi Qi Ai Ai, to step forward and ask: "Girl, that rosemary essential oil is useless to us, can it be replaced with lavender?"

 They are particularly fond of lavender’s “analgesic, disinfection, and sterilization” effects.

Xu Yin smiled and said: "If you want to change it, of course you can. But don't you want to take it home to your mothers or sisters?"

With that said, they took back the idea of ​​changing.

Xu Yin added: "The effect of essential oil wiping and massaging is obvious, but the consumption is much greater than bathing and fumigation. As the first batch of workers in our workshop, I can give you an internal preferential price."

 Of course, there is a purchase limit.

 Otherwise, if outside customers would ask them to buy, would Xu’s spice shop still have business?

When these young people heard this, joy was written on their faces, and they bowed to Xu Yin one after another to express their thanks.

It’s not because of the internal purchase price of essential oils, but because I can come to work in the fragrance shop.

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

The Xu family's salary has always been high, like a farmer who is hired to maintain flowers and plants in the mountains, and can get one or two silvers a month.

You know, if you go to the city to do part-time work, you have to get up early in the morning, work hard in the dark, and work hard for a month, and you only get one tael after a full day of work.

Xu Yin gave them a monthly salary of three taels of silver, plus overtime, and a bonus at the end of the year.

 But you must sign a three-year living deed.

 For three years, they can only work in Xu's Fragrance Workshop, and are not allowed to bring outsiders into the workshop, nor are they allowed to share specific work procedures. Once discovered, the company will be fired and compensated for the losses suffered by the fragrance house.

As for three years later, it is up to them to choose whether they would like to stay or be poached as technicians by their envious peers.

She believes that if she is given three years to develop Xu's Fragrance House, even if the system tasks are still not completed three years later, Xu's Fragrance will have a name, and she will not be afraid of these guys changing jobs with their skills.

These young people have repeatedly promised that they will never sell out the fragrance shop.

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

"Yes! Girl, why don't we say goodbye for three years, and we'll sign a long-term contract."

Xu Yin burst out laughing: "Let's sign for three years first. If you are still willing to stay in the Xu family after three years, I will definitely welcome you."

Then let Xu Kui take them to sign a contract and get uniforms, and they will be workers of the fragrance shop from now on.

The families of these people were very happy when they heard about it. They crossed two mountains to send Xu Yin the vegetables they grew and the chickens and ducks they raised.

Xu Yin was observing filial piety and was fasting, so she asked her mother-in-law to send the chickens and ducks back.

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

 The cook prepared a table of vegetarian dishes for Xu Yin that day. Not to mention, after eating too much vegetarian food, my whole body feels light and smooth, and I really feel a bit like a fairy.

 Fortunately, in this small world, there are quite a wide range of soy products, including tofu, tofu skin, and dried spices.

 The most indispensable thing in other courtyards on Tea Mountain is tea.

Xu Yin asked the cook to prepare a pot of old tofu and dried tea every now and then. The former goes with meals and the latter can be used as snacks.

The cook saw that soybean products tasted so good when boiled with tea, so what else could they do?

So he had nothing to do 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 provide nutrition to his servants.

The servants on duty in other courtyards 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.

 How can you still get flowers after eating a vegetarian dish? Only the girl has this good fortune.

 …

 After the establishment of the fragrance shop, the production of essential oils started step by step.

 The lavender and rosemary blooming in the mountains are decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Xu Kui found a time when Xu Yin was free and came to ask for her opinion: "Girl, I'm afraid that the flowers on this mountain alone won't be enough for a few days. The village chief just looked for the little one and wanted to ask the girl if she needs it. How about clearing out several other Chaishan mountains to plant flowers?"

"Yes." Xu Yin put down the miscellaneous books in her hand and discussed with Xu Kui seriously, "Originally, I planned to clean up after the New Year, and sow the seeds in spring. These two flowers are more suitable for spring planting and summer harvesting. If everyone If you are idle, you can organize manpower to start work now, but sowing must be delayed until spring."

 After a pause, Xu Yin said thoughtfully: "I'm worried that after all the firewood hills are cleared to grow spices, where will the people in Xujia Village go to chop firewood?"

"Hey! What's the matter!" Xu Kui said with a smile, "The girl doesn't know something. The people in Xujia Village are all looking forward to the girl hiring them to work! If you have money, why worry about not being able to buy firewood?"

 Xu Yin thought about it, and it was right!

Just like people living in towns and cities, don’t they all buy firewood and charcoal for burning fires?

 She hired the villagers to work and paid them wages. With a stable income every month, the villagers' lives will get better and better. If they lack anything, they can just buy it.

 After changing his mind, Xu Yin suddenly became enlightened and immediately asked Xu Kui to inform the village chief to organize manpower to clean up other Chaishan mountains.

 After Xu Kui left, Xu Yin took out a pen and paper and started planning.

If all the Chai Mountains are developed into spice mountains, this will be the planting base of the fragrance shop in the future.

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

The workshop will be expanded, the manpower will be increased, and we will strive to provide a job for every villager in Xujia Village...the village may be able to develop into a town.

Xu Yin was thinking about it while listing the plan.

However, right now, she has a more important task, which is to try to make a perfume using essential oils.

Only when perfume comes out can the system mission be completed.

Thinking of this, her heart surged, and she no longer wanted to eat salted fish.

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

Then let Ziyuan go get the local grain wine with the highest alcohol concentration that the trustee bought a few days ago.

 But she had no intention of using this wine instead of alcohol to make perfume. In the eyes of people of this dynasty, the alcohol content of the most intoxicating wine was not high enough when used to make perfume.
