Miss Zheng Er pointed to the perfume on the shelf and said, "This is the bottle. It looks very shabby."
Du Wanchun looked up. They didn't have much money in their hands, so the bottle they bought this time was an ordinary white porcelain bottle, which looked a bit shabby.
Miss Zheng Er continued: "The fragrances my eldest brother buys from the capital are all in glass bottles."
Liuli is indeed beautiful and comes in various colors. Many ladies and ladies like it. ?.?????.ℂ??
Du Wanchun was a little embarrassed, "We can only afford this colored porcelain vase now, but if you like the glass vase, you can bring your own glass vase over and we will put the fragrance in it for you."
Miss Zheng Er nodded, "That's okay."
After saying that, he ordered the maid aside: "Go and get my empty glass bottle."
"Yes, miss." The little maid turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan suddenly stood up, stopped them and said, "Wait a minute."
The little maid stopped and looked back at Miss Zheng Er.
Miss Zheng Er asked Zhou Ruiyuan, "I wonder what's wrong with this young master?"
Zhou Ruiyuan turned around and came to the shelf, picked up the pen on the table next to him, dipped the colored ink on it, and drew a lifelike butterfly on the scented dew bottle.
The butterfly flowers are so beautifully painted, they seem to be alive and dancing on the white porcelain vase.
Miss Zheng Er was shocked. She quickly picked up the bottle of fragrant dew and said happily: "I want this bottle."
Some ladies from aristocratic families like this kind of formal things the most.
Zhou Ruiyuan then painted patterns on other white porcelain bottles, including butterflies, lotus flowers, and crabapples.
Because the painting is so good, there is no sense of dissonance at all, and it is even more beautiful than the single glass bottle.
Du Wanchun himself was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his husband was also a first-class painter. If he had known this, he might as well have sold his paintings.
Such a surprising painting is expected to fetch a good price.
Aunt Zhou, Zhou Zhao and Zhou Feng were not very surprised. They all watched Miss Zheng taking out the money.
This bottle of fragrant dew was sold for ten taels of silver. In other words, they only made ten taels of silver as soon as they opened the door.
Not long after, people came to buy again, but they were from wealthy families like Miss Zheng Er. Ordinary people would not even dare to enter a shop like this.
Aunt Zhou looked at it for a long time, then pulled Du Wanchun aside and said to her: "Wanchun, not everyone can afford such an expensive fragrance. Mom has a good idea."
"Mom, tell me." Du Wanchun said slowly.
Aunt Zhou said slowly: "I found mint leaves and camphor trees on the mountain last time. Why don't we use these two things to make a fragrance that everyone can afford."
"Mint leaves and camphor trees?" Du Wanchun was a little surprised.
Aunt Zhou nodded, "Both of these are medicinal materials. If added to the fragrance, not only will the fragrance be pleasant and refreshing, but it can also reduce swelling, relieve pain, cool and relieve itching. Who hasn't been bitten by mosquitoes? "
There are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains, especially in summer, so many people will be bitten.
Du Wanchun thinks it makes sense.
Aunt Zhou continued: "Ordinary people wouldn't dislike bottles, so we just put them in the most ordinary small ceramic jars and sell them for twenty or thirty cents."
"Mom, you are right, we might as well give it a try." Du Wanchun nodded in agreement.
After the two agreed, they planned to pick mint leaves after returning to Changliu Village.
Staying in the shop until the afternoon, they sold a total of five bottles of incense. Although it was not much, there was still fifty taels.
Du Wanchun left Zhou Feng behind, and then went home with Aunt Zhou and Zhou Ruiyuan.
Unexpectedly, the group of people bumped into Mrs. Li just as they were preparing to go out.
Mrs. Li took her daughter-in-law Liu Lanzhi out to buy.
Liu Lanzhi was holding a bunch of things in her hands. When she saw Du Wanchun, she was shocked.
"Du Wanchun? Why are you here?!"
