Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

I haven't had a chance to bring up the progress of the brickyard tonight, but overall it's not a problem. It will definitely be completed on schedule, and may even be ahead of schedule.

To avoid Zhou Banxia wanting to personally take charge, Gu Wenxuan simply mentioned that the owner of the workshop who commissioned the custom-made small porcelain bottles would send a craftsman to the brickyard.

If we want to establish a long-term partnership with the couple, the employer will send a knowledgeable master craftsman to the brickyard within five days, if not tomorrow or the day after.

Otherwise, with so many kilns, which one doesn't know how to fire small porcelain bottles, would he really be able to reach an agreement with the owner of this kiln just because the Liao family acted as a go-between?

There's no need to worry about the brickyard. These days, everyone's a bit dim-witted and doesn't give you face. Even the village chief of Chengbei Yaofang Village asked someone to pass on the message asking if he needed a hand.

The custom-made porcelain bottles have already produced samples. "Are you sure you won't be running around during your postpartum confinement period, and you can still officially start production before the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"OK."

Alcohol has been extracted, and the flavoring process has been continuously improved. Now, it is only necessary to adjust the ratio of alcohol concentration and flavoring formula.

It just so happens that there's not much mugwort stock left after the Dragon Boat Festival, so it won't delay the shipment of mugwort-scented soap. It might even become popular in the summer, just like mugwort-scented soap.

Unfortunately, there are no manufacturers of small glass bottles, and we can't just make do with small porcelain bottles for now, which is a bit of a letdown.

Fortunately, although the custom-made small porcelain bottles were a bit pricey, with the smallest size, a 20ml bottle, costing 500 coins, the samples that were delivered were very exquisite.

It's nothing special. Anyway, the floral water series is positioned as a luxury item. If we want a high factory price and to be recognized by our customers, the outer packaging is naturally very important.

Next, we wait for the inner workshop to fill the hundred small porcelain bottles with mugwort-scented floral water and distribute them to the five distributors, and then wait for their replies before the Dragon Boat Festival.

If all goes well, we'll place the order by mid-April. It will be easy to start production then. Right now, we only have one product, Artemisia argyi floral water, on the market, so how much slower can the repackaging process be?

The three small porcelain bottles, each with a maximum capacity of only 100 milliliters, are enough to fill the 50 jin (25 kg) of Ai Xiang Hua Lu Shui (Artemisia argyi floral water) in the first batch of orders from the five companies.

If the market response is positive and it becomes popular with wealthy people, producing a second batch won't be a problem. It's easy to recruit female workers for internal packaging and outer packaging.

As soon as the word gets out that they're hiring female workers again, it won't be long before, just like last time, people from all around will be asking about it.

Furthermore, having a large number of people is not a problem. Moving the tofu workshop and oil pressing workshop in front will free up more space. It's just a matter of a word, and manpower is not an issue at all...

Gu Wenxuan waited for a long time, only to hear a "okay" and then nothing more.

Well, his wife's been daydreaming again.

You can't do without using your brain, right?

"Didn't you say I shouldn't overexert myself during postpartum confinement, honey?"

"I didn't bother." Zhou Banxia was pulled into Gu Wenxuan's arms, and upon hearing this, she instinctively and decisively denied it. But as soon as she said it, she couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Wenxuan found it even more amusing. Even you know you've been too perfunctory, right? "It's my fault. Didn't I already tell Gu Dachang? Why did I ask you?"

"You'll have to ask him. You'll need to get your father to approve the pricing. Besides, this isn't a big deal for me. I just thought about whether it's easy to hire female workers. It's that simple."

If I have to worry about even this, wouldn't my brain be too weak? No way! I'm not even thinking about how to negotiate pricing with those five companies.”

That's because you have confidence in your man, okay? When it comes to negotiation skills in the business world, your man is not as good as you. When it comes to making empty promises, your man is much better than you.

With your baby face and thin skin, you're embarrassed to sell at a high price? Don't you need to consider research funding?

You're really not going to treat steamed buns like food anymore. How can you erase this part of the research funding just because you know how to make floral water? After all, during the "research" period, didn't the "research group" consume some materials to logically produce the finished product according to your ideas?
These materials are free, or perhaps their research group's monthly salary is too low and their bonuses are too meager. Anyway, they're making money off rich people, so they shouldn't feel guilty or anything.

He's still too upright.

He doesn't steal or rob, and he earns money through his own abilities, yet he still feels guilty. Only his wife could be like that. She's impossible to change. Even if you take a cow to Beijing, it's still a cow. You stubborn ox!

"What are you laughing at?"

"My wife is beautiful~"

"Nonsense, all that flabby fat, and you call that beautiful?" Zhou Banxia glanced at him sideways, about to tease him for being too idealistic, when she heard a noise outside.

The midnight snack has arrived.

main room.

Mai Xiang, leading the maid, quietly began to arrange Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia's late-night snack. Once everything was in place, she bowed and withdrew.

Everything was orderly and silent.

Of course, Gu Wenxuan, who was already used to returning to the main room for a late-night snack, was not surprised at all. The maids and servants trained by Zhou Molan were not far from being bad in their manners.

Especially for the maids and servants who work in the inner quarters, if they didn't have a keen eye, they would have been squeezed out long ago, and they wouldn't have had the chance to pass through five checkpoints and defeat six generals to enter the west courtyard.

To his surprise, his wife had not instructed the maid to place her midnight snack in the main room at all; the two of them had actually reached an understanding.

It's clear that his wife's statement that "she rests indoors during the day" was another example of her playing a trick, mixing truth with falsehood in her words.

She didn't stay in the room properly during the day, did she? Isn't the main room a room? Of course she didn't go out; she was still moving around in the east wing.

Exactly, but why are you suddenly not even trying to hide it in your actions, no longer having postpartum meals in the inner room? Could it be that you're craving something?
瞅！
Her eyes darted back and forth over the late-night snack in front of him. "Want to try a bite?" Gu Wenxuan didn't wait for Zhou Banxia's response. "You can't eat it."

"..." You're good at making people happy, but you're also the one who wants to be stuffed in a sack and beaten senseless! Zhou Banxia gritted her teeth, "Can't I just smell it?"

"Of course you can." If I said no, you'd be furious. Gu Wenxuan suppressed a laugh, scooped up a wonton with a soup spoon, and held it out to her. "Smell it. It's actually sprinkled with sesame oil just like yours. The taste isn't much different. It's just that the side dishes on my side are a bit spicier."

The problem lies in the spiciness, okay?
I can tolerate less salt, since I don't really like oily or salty food. At most, I'll eat one more meal to stimulate my taste buds when I don't have much of an appetite.

But this spiciness, to be honest, is really annoying. If you think about it carefully, it doesn't even taste sour. It's been almost five months since I've had anything spicy.

too weird.

I didn't like spicy food during the later stages of pregnancy, and I didn't want to eat a single spicy bite. But after giving birth, I found myself craving more and more of the things I couldn't eat.

It must be related to the bland and tasteless food she ate every day during her postpartum confinement period. Otherwise, she's not a child, so how could the smell of food make her feel better?

Can't think about it anymore.

It's not about making things difficult for yourself.

Zhou Banxia decisively shook her head, "It's not about food. You know I'm not into food. I'm checking if it suits your taste. Have you lost a lot of weight?"

I almost believed it!
"Where have you lost weight? Eat up." (End of Chapter)
