The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 777 Oolong

Mu Jinxi stopped suddenly, and Xu Morou bumped into it without paying attention, with an ouch.

"Xiaoxi, why did you stop without saying a word? If I walk faster, we two will suffer." Xu Morou complained, pouted and rubbed her forehead.

Mu Jinxi's eyes sparkled, she clapped her hands together, and said excitedly, "I thought of it!"

"What came to mind?"

Mu Jinxi turned around with a whoosh, and said happily, "It's about the Emperor's business! I just had a sudden inspiration!"

Uh... Everyone was speechless for a while. Just now, she was still yelling that she had no clue, and she was very troubled. She asked others to give her advice. Now it is good, and the inspiration came all at once. Why do you think it is a bit unreliable?

Before everyone came back to their senses, Mu Jinxi said again: "Go and play first, I will think about it and confirm my rare inspiration!"

"Ah? You're not going to have a beauty treatment anymore?" Xu Morou asked stupidly.

"I'm not going, you guys go! I'll go to dinner with you when you're done, remember to call me later!" Mu Jinxi waved her hand and walked back to the office room Here, the door slammed shut with a bang, so fast that one couldn't even say a word.

In the end, everyone looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Then Mu Jinhua said with a smile: "That's it, let's ask Xiaoxi to eat later."

"Okay, that's all."

Everyone went to enjoy it, and Mu Jinxi shut herself in the room and meditated.

What Xuerui and the others said just now made her suddenly have an idea. Although the ancient people worked hard in skin care, they were still far behind the modern people, especially those rouge powders, many of which contained a lot of skin care products. Heavy metal, on the surface it looks good on the skin, but in fact the inside is slowly getting worse.However, women in ancient times spent no less time on makeup than modern women, or even more, especially those women with status, in order to maintain their glamorous appearance, they always smeared their faces layer by layer. It's like wearing makeup all the time except sleeping!

If she can rise in the field of makeup, maybe she can really create a new era!Applying modern make-up technology to ancient times, hahaha, if successful, she will become No.1 in rewriting the history of this space-time make-up field!Maybe it will go down in history!Ha ha ha ha……

Just thinking about Mu Jinxi was already so excited that every cell in her body was trembling, and she wished she could rush to the workshop to put the idea in her mind into action and produce those cosmetics!
But... Thinking of technical problems, Mu Jinxi's activated cells instantly deflated again. Technology is a problem!She had to think about it and think about how to solve this problem.

One trouble was solved and then there were countless troubles. Mu Jinxi's day was spent here. She agreed to go out for dinner, but it didn't work out. Everyone saw that she was so committed that it was not good to force her to go, Jue Lin He thought he could have a meal with his wife, but when he went to the appointed place, everyone was there, but his wife was not there, so he immediately ordered his wife's favorite food, packed it up, and took it directly to Fangrong Pavilion.

This move made Mo Qingcang and the others sneer hard, saying that he was a wife slave, and Jue Lin gave them a blank look, thinking that they simply couldn't eat grapes and said grapes were sour.

As a result, Jue Lin arrived at the Fangrong Pavilion, and was dragged by Mu Jinxi to discuss it all afternoon, and he didn't even have time to do his own business.

After thinking about this, Mu Jinxi started to act. She wrote down her thoughts and followed the plan item by item. Now that she has such an idea, the most important problem now is the so-called technical problem.Modern cosmetics are all produced by machines. Automated machine production was naturally impossible in ancient times, so we have to find a way, how to produce it if it is artificial... These are the most important issues!
At the same time, she has to find the supply of raw materials first. Of course, several bases under her name can provide them, but if they are produced at that time, she may not be able to supply them. She has to think about building a few more. It's better to find someone to cooperate with a planting base. If you build it yourself, you will be more at ease and safe, but the investment will be too large, and she is worried that it will be too late.Perhaps at this stage, we can first find someone to cooperate with, and then build it ourselves later?

After making up her mind, Mu Jinxi began to choose a relatively large-scale plantation garden near the capital that was more suitable for her.In ancient times, there was no way to produce chemical cosmetics, so we had to start with traditional Chinese medicines and natural plants, and the ancient things were all natural, so it is best to start from this aspect.

People in the capital knew that Mu Jinxi was going to run for the imperial business, but she didn't do anything after signing up, which made everyone very puzzled, thinking that she was just playing for fun.So now as soon as she moves, she immediately attracts everyone's attention.

The eldest prince, who has been paying close attention to Prince Mu's mansion, naturally also knew the news. He waited for a few days but did not wait for Ling Muhua to take the initiative to tell him about it, forcing him to call Ling Muhua back to his old place and order him to inquire. News, let's see what Mu Jinxi is going to do. Only after hearing about Mu Jinxi's plan can they arrange corresponding countermeasures. It is absolutely impossible for him to allow Mu Jinxi to be selected as the imperial merchant!
The eldest prince ordered Ling Muhua to do it even if he didn't want to, he found out that Mu Jinxi seemed to be looking for a large plantation garden, so he arranged for a chance encounter today!
"Ah, Brother Mu, why are you here?" Mu Jinxi exclaimed in surprise.

She came out again today to look for a suitable planting base. She searched almost all the ones near the capital, but she didn't find any that she was satisfied with. The ones she had seen were either small in scale, or the things planted in them made her feel uncomfortable. Satisfied, she didn't like it, so she was still looking for it.I didn't expect to meet Brother Mu by such a coincidence, but why did Brother Mu suddenly appear here?

She just came out of a relatively large plantation garden. This garden area is relatively large, but the plants in it are not to her liking. It is estimated that the owner is not good at taking care of them, so the plants in it are not well maintained.It is not qualified to be used for viewing, how can it be used to make cosmetics and the like?

Ling Muhua raised his eyebrows and said, "If I say that I'm here to find you, do you believe it?"

Mu Jinxi was taken aback, "Looking for me? What are you looking for? Is there something wrong?"

"Hmm, what have you been up to lately? That's why I came to you."

"I'm here to find a garden planting base. Could it be that you can choose a suitable one for me?" Mu Jinxi half joked.

"You are really right. If you told me earlier that there is no need to travel so many places. I have told you already, don't carry everything on your own, you will not listen. You clearly said that it is good for the election I will help you with the matter of Huangshang, but if you end up doing everything yourself, then the value of my existence will be greatly reduced." Ling Muhua said with a soft snort of dissatisfaction.

Mu Jinxi blinked her eyes innocently and said, "Brother Mu, you have wronged me with your words. How would I know that you would have an idea?"

"Do you know now? Do you know in the future? Let's see if you will do this again! Next time if you do this again, I will let you run away!" Ling Muhua said angrily.

"Hee hee, Brother Mu, since you have a suitable choice, tell me quickly where it is. I have seen many places these days, but I just haven't seen a suitable one." Mu Jinxi Said with a hippie smile.

"Come on to my carriage, I'll show you." Ling Muhua pointed to his carriage and said.

Mu Jinxi thought for a while, turned around and told the carriage of Prince Mu's Mansion to go back to the mansion first, and then she took the color screen and boarded Ling Muhua's carriage.

"Brother Mu, tell me, where is that place? I don't know why, but I have inquired about all the places near the capital, there is no way I missed anything!"

Ling Muhua looked at her triumphantly and said: "You are still a little tender! From now on, hang out with Brother Mu and I, and I will cover you!"

Mu Jinxi twitched the corners of her mouth, and said angrily, "Do you want to say it or not!"

Seeing her face lowered, Ling Muhua hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let me say okay, look at you, it seems like I bullied you."

"Then tell me quickly!"

"As far as I know, you just went to the western suburbs outside the city. Although there are several such gardens in that area, some of which are of a decent scale, like the one you just saw, but I guess these are simply impossible to meet. Your request?"

Mu Jinxi nodded and said, "That's true, but how can you be sure that the one you mentioned will meet my requirements? And what I want is not just one."

If she puts the ideas in her head into action, she will need a lot more raw materials, because a part of it has to be used for experiments. If she is not prepared enough and the experiment succeeds, but the raw materials for production cannot be found, then What to do?Isn't all the energy and time wasted in vain?So she has to be prepared. If necessary, the products of Fangrong Pavilion and Hengfuxuan should be appropriately reduced, and the raw materials should be given over to new products...

Oh, it's too early to say this, I don't know how long it will take to successfully produce cosmetics that meet her requirements!Hey, this backward society!
Well, but she is still confident. Machines are made by humans. Can humans be inferior to machines?Hmm, it's just a matter of time!As long as she tries her best to shorten the production time, she will be considered a success!
After hearing Mu Jinxi's words, Ling Muhua frowned slightly, "Well, I think this one should be enough, at least for the time being. As for why I said this, you will understand after reading it. I want The reason why you don't know the place I took you to is because it was only a private place from the beginning, and the owner is a person who likes those flowers and plants very much, and he is... well, a person with excellent medical skills, It’s just that he has a weird temper, so he’s kept his name incognito, and he takes care of his garden by himself, and rarely lets people visit it, so few people know about it.”

"Well, if you want to ask me how I know, I can only say that it was a coincidence, or maybe I was lucky. When I left the capital a few years ago, I met a strange old man outside the city. I didn't know how It’s easy to talk, and our tempers are quite congenial, so we became friends. I heard that you were looking for this kind of place a few days ago, and then I went to talk to him once, and convinced him to let him I promised to lease his garden to you, as long as you promise not to spoil his garden like those ordinary businessmen."

Ling Muhua briefly talked about his relationship with the owner of the garden, which made Mu Jinxi a little surprised. What kind of strange encounter was this?Could his luck be a little better?Hmm, or should I say her luck?
"Your experience is really amazing..." Mu Jinxi said in a nasty voice.

Ling Muhua snorted softly and said, "You can just make fun of me, I know what you're thinking, you must have laughed out loud, right?"

Mu Jinxi shook her head solemnly: "No, absolutely not."

Now she is counting on him to save the situation, how can she offend him!
"It's better not to." Ling Muhua sneered, he had already seen through her.

Mu Jinxi pretended not to know anything, but she started to look forward to it in her heart. Since Brother Mu said so, it proved that the garden should be good. If nothing unexpected happened, she should not be disappointed this time.

The carriage went round and round for half an hour before it finally stopped. As soon as the carriage stopped, Mu Jinxi couldn't wait to lift the curtains of the carriage. When she saw it, she was dumbfounded.

"Here, Brother Mu, you, are you sure it's here?" Mu Jinxi asked suspiciously.

Ling Muhua tilted his head to look at the situation outside, nodded affirmatively and said: "Sure, it's here, I've been here countless times, I can't make a mistake."

Mu Jinxi frowned and was still very skeptical, because looking at it like this, uh, it was just a very ordinary, very ordinary wooden house... Where is the huge garden she imagined?where?
Obviously he had seen through the suspicion in her heart, but Ling Muhua just smiled and said nothing, just didn't explain, making her anxious.

"Okay, let's get out of the carriage!" Ling Muhua said, and after he finished speaking, he was the first to bend down and get out of the carriage.

Mu Jinxi had no choice but to follow him down, comforting herself secretly, maybe there might be another cave in there.

The wooden house in Mu Jinxi's eyes is a small house, built with wood and thatch, although simple, but very neat, with some simple flowers and plants planted around the house, a flat path extends from the door of the house to the gate of the small yard, the small There are some herbs neatly planted in the yard, and the growth is gratifying, which shows that they are well taken care of.The overall look is a bit like the modern people who are used to living in the high-rise buildings of steel and concrete in the summer, and occasionally want to stay away from the city full of cars and high-rise buildings, and live in a small villa for leisure, hahaha...

In normal times, she might appreciate it, but now, she is really not in the mood to appreciate it.

Ling Muhua stood outside the door and shouted into the room, and soon Mu Jinxi heard a somewhat sad voice from the room: "Come in!"

Ling Muhua glanced at Mu Jinxi, and walked in first. Mu Jinxi followed closely behind him, and couldn't help but look at the small courtyard curiously all the way.But when she arrived in front of the wooden house, she quickly put away her curiosity, not letting herself be rude in front of strangers.

Ling Muhua didn't even knock on the door this time, he just pushed open the door and walked in. As soon as Mu Jinxi followed his footsteps and walked in, he saw a 60-year-old old man sitting by the window in the wooden house. The old man was wearing long hair. Long beard, hanging on the chest, long gray hair tied casually with a cloth towel and hanging behind the head, dressed in common clothes, simple and clean to the extreme, but the spirit is not inferior to young people, his eyes are bright, shining with wisdom Seeing Ling Muhua, there was a flash of a smile in his eyes, and when it fell on Mu Jinxi, the faint smile subsided again, replaced by aloofness and indifference.

"Who is this?"

"Brother, this is one of my sisters, you can call her Xiao Xi." Ling Muhua introduced with a smile, it was too simple, "She is the one I mentioned to you a few days ago, I will bring her here today Take a look. And you will never regret leasing your precious garden to her, you can trust Xiaoxi's behavior."

Mu Jinxi smiled politely and friendly at the other party, and at the same time secretly rolled her eyes at Ling Muhua, the introduction of this person was not complete, and she didn't even know who the other party was, how could she talk to him?
Ling Muhua didn't seem to be aware of this problem at all, and sat aside, then nodded to Mu Jinxi and said, "Xiao Xi, you can sit as you please, you are welcome."

When Mu Jinxi heard this, she couldn't help but glanced at the master's house, and she saw that the corners of the other's wrinkled mouth almost twitched, quite speechless.

However, Ling Muhua, who has always been shrewd and shrewd, seemed to have his head blocked at this time, "Xiao Xi, what are you doing standing up, you have walked a lot today, don't you think you are not tired enough?"

The old man finally couldn't bear it anymore and sneered and said mockingly: "You are not polite at all!"

Ling Muhua was taken aback, as if it was only at this time that he remembered that this serious master hadn't spoken yet!

"Hehehe... Brother, I'm sorry, I forgot that this is Xiaoxi's first time here. I have always had a very good relationship with her, like a family. You and I are friends who have forgotten the year. So for a while..." Ling Muhua said hehehe, his words were full of deep meaning.

The old man glanced at Mu Jinxi who was still standing aside, his scrutinizing eyes showed no shyness in the slightest, they were aboveboard, but fortunately Mu Jinxi was not an ordinary person, she could still be calm and generous under such deliberate sizing eyes.Her attitude made the other party have a good impression.

Although he agreed to Mu Hua, it doesn't mean that he will definitely lease his garden to this person. If this person is not as Mu Hua said, he still has a hundred reasons to go back on his word.From the current point of view, this woman is special, with a dignified and generous posture, not petty, and honest and sincere eyes, which shows that this person must have a heart of innocence.

No wonder Mu Hua got so close to her, it was the first time in so many years that Mu Hua heard a woman's name so frequently.

"Sit down, or he will probably blame the old man for making things difficult for his friends later!" The old man snorted lightly, half-truthfully.

"Thank you." Mu Jinxi sat down and said with a smile: "Brother Mu won't, although I only heard about your friendship today from him, but I can tell that in Brother Mu's heart, your Position is still very important, maybe I will be ranked behind!"

"Of course you will be at the back! I have known my brother much earlier than you!" Ling Muhua said, squinting at her.

Mu Jinxi stared, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Can you show me some face? Be careful, I'll let Mo'er take care of you later!"

Ling Muhua was startled, and raised his eyebrows: "What does it matter to her? Why did she punish me? And with her thin body, are you sure it's her who punished me, not me?"

"Hee hee, you are broken. You actually said you want to clean up Mo'er. I will tell Mo'er later that you want to clean up her. I want to ask her if she offended you. Poor Mo'er, looking at her on the street When you feel uncomfortable, you are worried to death, but in the end, not only do you not appreciate other people's concern, but you also want to take care of them by repaying your kindness, it is really a bright moon shining in the ditch..."

Ling Muhua frowned, "Why do you speak so strangely?"

It seems, as if there is some unclear relationship between him and Xu Morou!
Mu Jinxi shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands slightly, and looked like she was interested.

The old man on the side watched the interaction between the two, his face was thoughtful, and his eyes flickered.

　My aunt made trouble, and Yuntun almost wanted to go on strike. It's so pitiful to be a woman!Cough cough, girls who are still young should take good care of their bodies, don't think that you are still young so you will spoil them without any scruples, otherwise problems will easily appear when you get older, alas, wontons just don't pay attention when they are young, so Now I have a lot of questions... PS: The young Yuntun mentioned refers to the age of 22. Yuntun is also a young man now. Don't misunderstand that Yuntun is an aunt-level character...
