After customizing the seal, Su Chen followed Su Wan all over the county, asking many passers-by, and also asked several shops about almond oil.
Finally, I asked. Fifty miles to the west outside the city, there is a family named He. There is a village and a large workshop. Because they have planted apricot trees in several mountains, the main business of the family is to make dried apricots. Almond oil, make a fortune from it.
When apricots ripen every year, the fruits can be made into dried apricots and sold in dried fruit shops everywhere. Dried apricots are a favorite among pregnant women. They like to eat sweet and sour foods, so they usually buy them.
The almonds in the fruit can be made into almond oil, or they can be fried and eaten as dried almonds, which are more fragrant than melon seeds and peanuts.
Almond oil is not the main business of the He family, because almond oil does not sell well on the market, and in this era, it is not known that almond oil has beauty benefits when applied to the skin, so its value has not been fully explored.
The main residence of the He family is in Qingyuan County next door. If Su Wan wants to order almond oil for a long time, he can go directly to the workshop to find the manager.
Every year, almonds from several mountains are accumulated, producing tens of thousands of kilograms of almond oil.
Almonds can be stored for a long time after special processing.
Therefore, Su Wan had to make a special trip to the He family's village to talk to the steward about this matter.
But it was too late today, so Su Wan could only go home with his third brother first, and then find time to go to Hejiazhuangzi.
It just so happened that when going to Xiangzhou Prefecture, she had to pass by Hejiazhuangzi, and she also had to discuss the supply of flowers. These two things happened to be done together.
No, it should be three things. After going back, Su Wan will make a large batch of goat milk soap. The white and dyed ones will cost two hundred yuan each. After they are ready, they will take them to Xiangzhou Prefecture to find an agent to sell the goods, and take the opportunity to open Xiangzhou. The market in Fucheng.
One line, three things, all done at once. By the way, I will go to Xiangzhou to see how my fourth brother is doing at Yueman West Building.
By the time the brother and sister came back, all the almond oil, rice noodles, and soapberries had been delivered. Su's father put them all in the corner of the main room. The second brother's room was empty and was also used to store the almond oil.
Therefore, once the business grows, it is really important to have a dedicated workshop. The Su family yard is still not enough.
Moreover, it is rainy in spring, so it is not easy to get damp when placed outside. After a few spring rains, the flower seedlings in the small garden and flower field at the back have begun to sprout and grow.
Jiang Sheng and Jiao Xing watched the fields almost every day when they had free time. Not a single weed could be seen in the flower fields, which were very well taken care of.
In their spare time, when they have time, the two of them will come to Su's house to see if there is anyone who can help.
The business has not officially started yet, there are not many orders, so there are not many things to do.
The rice seedlings at home are already being cultivated. When the seedlings grow, Su's father plans to plant several acres of paddy fields at home. Uncle Yang Ming and Jiang Sheng help, and the several acres of paddy fields are planted in a few days.
When Su Wan returned home, Su's father and the others had just returned from the fields, and their calves were covered in mud.
Su Wan gave him all the paper, pens and paints he bought for Fifth Brother and fully supported his business of setting up a stall and selling paintings.
Seeing these papers, pens, and paints of different colors, Su Yi was deeply moved.
"Thank you Wan Wan. When I make money in the future, I will give it all to you."
He took these things with both hands and held them carefully.
He has no ability now and relies on Su Wan to support his dream, so he silently thinks in his heart that all the money he earns in the future will be used as a dowry for Su Wan.
"Just give half of it, and the remaining half, fifth brother can keep it to marry his sister-in-law!"
Su Wan said with a joking smile, making Su Yi blush.
"Fifth brother, I wish you success!"
Su Wan raised her hand, and Su Yi immediately understood what she meant, and then he reached out and gave her a high-five.
Su Wan said that this was their little secret.
Moreover, so far, apart from Su Wan having this exclusive action with him, none of his other brothers have done it.
When Su Yi thought of this, he felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.
Then, he took Su Wan's hand and walked to his room:
"Wanwan, I have something to show you!"
Su Wan was very curious when he heard this. When he walked in the door, he saw him taking out a stack of drawing paper from under his desk to show Su Wan.
There are more than a dozen pictures in total, all of them are paintings of Su Wan. Her various looks, expressions, and different smiles are all vividly displayed on the paper.
She was stunned...
"Wan Wan, I usually draw things when I have nothing to do. You are the one I draw the most because our Wan Wan is pretty. I don't know if you like it or not." Su Yi said with a bright smile, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth The pear vortex is looming.
Su Wan's eyes suddenly became hot, because he was moved by Fifth Brother.
"I like it. Fifth Brother's painting is very good. Can you show me other things you painted?"
On the table, there is a thick pile of drawing paper, all of which are his drawings. They are well preserved and have not been lost.
Su Yi nodded and brought all the paintings over to show her.
These drawing papers are very ordinary drawing papers without frames. Su Yi painted mountains, water, flowers and grass.
Landscape pictures, scenery pictures, pictures of ladies, you name it.
Without exception, the paintings are very beautiful. If they can be painted on a scroll, they will not be inferior to those of famous scholars, and they will definitely be more pleasing to the eye.
"It seems that I have to buy some scrolls for Fifth Brother to paint. The paintings can also be used as hangings to hang in the house for appreciation."
Su Yi was embarrassed by her praise and her cheeks were slightly red.
Because he was busy opening the Xiangzhou market next, Su Wan spent seven days making four hundred soaps, two hundred each for basic and dyed soaps, and prepared to take them to Xiangzhou Prefecture to find an agent to sell them.
By the way, we will solve the problem of almond oil supply and flower supply.
The demand for goat milk soap was high, and the goat farmer in the village could no longer supply a large amount of goat milk. Su Wan asked Su's father to go to other villages to see if there were any goat farmers, and to find milk sources to prepare. Prevent too many orders and not enough goat milk in the future.
After the four hundred soap bars were packed, Su Wan, accompanied by Su Chen and Su Yi, took a trip to Xiangzhou Mansion.
…
In Zhaixing Pavilion of Fengyue Villa in Zhongzhou, Jiang Yu, wearing a purple robe with patterns, stood by the window.
The subordinate came in to deliver the letter and handed a very thick letter into his hands.
"Young Master, a letter from Xiangzhou."
Jiang Yu took the letter, waved it away, and then opened it eagerly.
Several pages of letter paper were filled with words, talking about recent events in the Su family, such as Su Wan's flower fields, selling Shaqima prescriptions, and Su's uncle's family coming to stay temporarily. These trivial matters were extremely detailed. It looked like it wasn't written by Feng Ying's guy. He wasn't so verbose.
Jiang Yu read from beginning to end, his eyes fixed on the last sentence:
"Miss Su asked the master if we will meet again in the future?"
He couldn't help but chuckle after reading it, and he couldn't hide the joy in it.
Then, he muttered to himself:
"Of course it will happen!"
