Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 258 Gardenia Flower Dew

Everyone nodded affirmatively.

"Today I will teach you how to identify these two kinds of weeds. You must remember their smell and shape."

Ale scratched the back of his head and asked, "Miss, is there any use for us to remember these weeds?"

An Yue said calmly: "Once everyone finishes their work, our family will start digging herbs."

"Digging herbs?" everyone repeated.

"Now that the drought is severe, major medicine stores will buy a large number of herbs, so we have to dig more."

Everyone nodded, not quite understanding.

Chunzhi looked at the two herbs in her hand and smiled, "These weeds are the most common things on our country roads, but after the young lady's explanation, they have become treasures."

"There will be many more things to teach you in the future. That's all for today. Let's all go back to our rooms and take a short nap!" An Yue said as she stood up and prepared to go back to her room to rest.

……

Soon, everyone woke up from their nap, and Daniu and Ale continued to build the house.

An Yuechunzhi and Meng Xiuer were at home, and the three of them worked together to pack honey and floral water.

Chunzhi and Anyue carried the bottle of washed and dried garlic in the bamboo dustpan to the Eight Immortals Table in the main hall, and then placed them one by one.

Meng Xiuer wiped the garlic bottle with a cloth again, and An Yue and Chunzhi went to the west ear room.

She planned to move the large jars of honey and floral water to the main hall.

This time the bottling became much simpler. An Yue bought eighty garlic bottles and the boss gave her two funnels as a gift.

An Yue planned to can the honey first. Honey is sticky and stringy, so it takes a lot of time and effort to pack it into a can.

Meng Xiuer held the small jar with one hand and inserted the funnel into the small jar of honey with the other hand.

An Yue opened the lid of the honey jar, scooped the honey from the big jar with a spoon, and slowly poured it into the funnel.

The honey flowed into the small jars little by little. Every time a small jar was filled, Chunzhi, who was standing nearby, would take it and cover it with a lid.

In this way, the three of them cooperated very well, and an hour passed unknowingly.

They had packed sixty little honey pots.

Next, prepare to start filling the toilet water.

After An Yue came back from the county town last time, she developed an upgraded version of the floral water.

They are basic model and upgraded model.

The basic version still uses the original formula and is still brewed according to the original secret recipe.

The basic type of floral water is sent to the Aroma Pavilion, targeting the lower-end market. She decided to use the previous small cans, after all, she still had to control costs.

The other large jar of floral water is made by adding a large amount of gardenia and lemongrass to the original secret recipe for making floral water.

The upgraded floral water not only repels mosquitoes, but also has a hint of gardenia fragrance, with a unique and elegant smell.

It is relatively simple to can the floral water. Just dilute the brewed floral water slightly, pour it into a small can and cover it with a lid.

In a short while, the three of them filled sixty cans of basic floral water.

Next, I started preparing the gardenia-scented floral water.

The two shops of Mrs. Gu Qinglian, the chief clerk, mainly serve the wealthy ladies in the county town.

The gardenia-scented floral water is paired with a white garlic bottle, which elevates both the packaging and the floral water itself to a higher level.

An Yue opened the large jar of gardenia scented tea, and a light and elegant floral scent filled the entire main hall.

As soon as she opened it, Chunzhi smelled it and couldn't help saying, "Miss, this floral water smells really good!"

Meng Xiuer also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Yueyue, this floral water is different from the previous one?"

"It's definitely different, but the effects are pretty much the same."

After working for an entire afternoon, they finally packed all the items to be taken to the county town.

At this time, Daniu and Ale walked into the yard from the east side.

Chunzhi saw them walking into the yard and asked quickly, "Brother Daniu, Brother Ale, are you done?"

Ale brushed off the dust on his body and replied, "Yes! It's finally finished."

The big and strong man spread out his hands, looked up to the sky and said loudly: "I, Daniu, will also have a room in the future!"

An Yue couldn't help but smile when she saw how happy they were.

The two of them found Chunzhi and Meng Xiuer wiping the table, with a pile of bottles and jars next to them.

So, Daniu asked, "Sister Chunzhi, what are you making?"

An Yue said to them, "Ale Daniu, tomorrow morning, you two will go to the county town with me."

Ale took a few steps back and asked timidly, "Miss, are you going to sell us both out?"

When Daniu heard this, he was also frightened and stunned.

"Miss, you're going to sell us out?"

Chunzhi and Meng Xiuer, who were sitting nearby, couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

An Yue scratched the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "You two haven't done anything wrong, why should I sell you out?"

After hearing what An Yue said, A'er realized that she was not selling herself and Daniu.

"Then why did the young lady ask us to go to the county town?"

An Yue motioned them to look at the bottles and jars on the table, and said with a smile: "Here! Look at these, I want you two to help me transport these things to the county town."

Daniu scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "So that's how it is! Miss just now... but you scared me... I am so scared!"

Suddenly, everyone present burst into laughter.

While they were chatting and laughing, An Yue turned her head to look at the bottles and jars on the table.

If you carry it in a backpack to the county town, not only will there be too many garlic, but the bottle of garlic will easily spill when it shakes in the backpack.

She thought of using the half-person-high storage wooden boxes in her house.

The wooden box comes with a lid and is rectangular in shape.

An Yue thought of filling the wooden box with fern leaves, and then using wooden boards to separate the bottles and jars layer by layer so that the bottles and jars would not sway back and forth inside the wooden box.

So he said to Daniu and the other two, "Daniu, you two go to the back hill and cut some fern leaves."

"Okay, miss." After responding, the two of them took their sickles and backpacks and walked towards the back mountain.

Due to the drought for many months, people are even more panic-stricken due to the heat in recent days.

The setting sun gradually moved closer to the western mountains, but there was no sense of coolness at all.

An Yue led Chunzhi to the room and cleared out the space where the wooden boxes were stored.

An Yue and Chun Zhi carried the empty boxes to the yard, wiped them briefly, and began to study how to arrange the bottles and jars.

Chunzhi saw that An Yue didn't need her help anymore, so she said, "Miss, call Chunzhi if you need help! It's getting late, Chunzhi will go to the kitchen to prepare dinner first!"

An Yue nodded and said, "Well, go ahead!"

Meng Xiuer was wiping the honey and floral water on the table in the main hall.

An Yue found a few pieces of thin wooden boards in the east wing that had been used by the carpenter when making furniture.

She measured and marked each piece, then used a saw to cut them into lengths that could fit into the wooden box.

Soon, Daniu and A'er cut two baskets of ferns and carried them back from the back mountain.
