"I'll teach you how to use it first."
Essential oils are used in a wide range of ways. The most commonly used method is to add a few drops to 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 scent of the essential oil will evaporate after the candle is lit.
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 is not injured. Muscles and bones are a little swollen and painful. Rubbing with this essential oil can quickly relieve the symptoms of congestion, swelling and pain... Rosemary essential oil also has its own unique effect. It can condition our skin and make it firm and elastic. It is especially suitable for It should not be used by women who are no longer young and have 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 felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, so they pushed forward a representative, Qi Qi Ai Ai, and asked: "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 said with a smile: "If you want to change it, of course you can. But don't you want to take it home to your mother or sisters?"
After saying this, 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 customers outside 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 house.
The salary given by the Xu family has always been high. For example, a farmer who is employed to maintain flowers and plants in the mountains can get one or two silver dollars every month.
You know, if you go to the city to work part-time, you have to get up early, work in the dark, and work exhaustingly for a month, and you will only get one tael in full.
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.
Within 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 whether they would like to stay or be poached as technicians by their envious peers after three years, it is up to them.
She believes that if she is given three years to develop Xu's Fragrance Shop, 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 repeatedly promised that they would 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 stay away from each other for three years, and we'll sign a long-term contract."
Xu Yin couldn't stop 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. From now on, they will be workers in the fragrance shop.
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 fasting as a filial piety, so she asked her mother-in-law to take the chickens and ducks back.
Seasonal vegetables and some dried beans, bamboo shoots and other dried vegetables were left behind for the maid to send to the kitchen.
The cook prepared a table of Vegetarian Eight Immortals 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 like a fairy.
Fortunately, this small world has a complete range of soy products, and you can buy tofu, tofu skin, and dried spices.
The most indispensable thing in the villas on the 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 nourish the servants.
The servants on duty in other courtyards have new dishes to eat every day, and occasionally go back to the mansion to run errands. When they talk about this, all the servants in the mansion are envious.
Can you still get flowers after eating a vegetarian dish? Only the girl has this good fortune.
…
After the fragrance shop was established, it started producing essential oils step by step.
The lavender and rosemary blooming on the mountain are declining 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 am worried that after all the firewood mountains are opened to grow spices, where will the people of 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 looking forward to the girl hiring them to work! If you have money, why worry about not being able to buy firewood?"
When Xu Yin thought about it, she was right!
Just like people living in towns and cities, don’t they all buy firewood and charcoal for burning fires?
She hired 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 notify 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 Chai Mountains are developed into spice mountains, this will be the planting base of Fragrance House in the future.
As the variety of spices increases, the fragrance shop is likely to expand.
The workshop will expand and the number of people will increase. 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 listed out the plan while thinking about it.
However, right now, she has a more important task, which is to try to make a perfume using essential oils.
Only when the 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.
