Chapter 343 Damascus Rose
The next day, the father and daughter of the Song family went to Dawan Village without stopping after breakfast. On the carriage, Song Yuanbai asked doubtfully, "My eldest daughter, you grow so many acres of cotton, do you have sales channels? Or do you want to sell it?" Open a cotton store in Fuso City?”
According to his daughter, one acre of land costs one thousand kilograms, and 1500 acres of land is equivalent to 1500000 kilograms of cotton.
1500000 pounds of cotton, how much does that cost? Song Yuanbai couldn't imagine it!
Song Changshang knew that her father would ask this question sooner or later, so she replied: "Dad, Shen Xi, the young master of Shilixiang, said that all the cotton that comes down in the autumn can be sold to him!"
"Furthermore, Dad, are you worried that no one will buy cotton?"
"It's cheap and warm, and can be purchased by both the poor and the rich!"
Song Yuanbai pondered for a few seconds and thought that his daughter was right. If such a cheap and warm item came out, there would definitely not be enough to sell it. It would be impossible not to sell it!
Apart from anything else, when the emperor in the capital knew about it, he would definitely buy it as soon as possible and make clothes for the soldiers on the frontier!
Their emperor was quite good to the common people and soldiers, but he was a little bit mean to the Song family.
The two of them chatted together until they reached Dawan Village. When they arrived at Dawan Village, the village chief Xie Chun led Song Yuanbai to look around, while Song Changshang stayed at Xie's house.
She doesn't want to move! Being lazy!
While waiting, Xie Yonglan, the girl from the second room of the Xie family, came over.
"Yonglan, why are you here?"
Mrs. Wang was confused. The children of the second-fang's family usually didn't come to their house. They didn't come when her daughter was there in the past, let alone her daughter was not at home now. It was said that she didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so there must be something wrong if she came here now.
"Auntie, I'm here to see Miss Song." Xie Yonglan smiled slightly, and Mrs. Wang understood and greeted, "It's in the back room, come in."
Song Changshang probably guessed the purpose of the other party's visit, but she still had to pretend not to know. Finally, after a few polite words, she got to the point. Xie Yonglan sounded a little disappointed, "Miss Song, that means that Doctor Shangguan will not come to our village." "
Song Changshang nodded, "Yes, he has to go to the next village for free clinic."
Xie Yonglan bit her lip and was silent for a while. She took out a purse from her arms, her face slightly red, "Then Miss Song, please help me transfer this purse to Dr. Shangguan."
Song Changshang took the purse and saw that it was very delicately embroidered and made of good materials. "Okay, no problem. Is there anything you need me to tell you?"
"Nothing."
"it is good."
On the way back, the system suddenly said, [Host, why don't you reject that woman directly and clarify your relationship? 】
"No need, I won't help him solve his peach blossoms!"
"Let him deal with the peach blossoms he caused."
His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, is so good-looking, and his peach blossoms must be endless. How tired she would be if she had to deal with them one by one!
"By the way, I have been upgraded to a first-class beauty. Why is it that no one else likes me except His Highness King Jin?" Song Changshang wondered.
She is also a beauty now!
The system was silent for a few seconds and replied, [Maybe you are too barbaric! 】
"The system is looking for a fight, isn't it?"
After a rain, both the Song clan members in Qingshuigou and the villagers in Dawan Village entered a busy period.
Busy farming!
“Ten acres of sweet potatoes!”
"Dad, it's sweet potato!"
"Sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes! Ten acres are planted with sweet potatoes, ten acres are planted with sweet corn, and thirty acres are planted with ordinary corn!"
"What are you going to plant on the fifty acres of land?" Song Yuanbai finished speaking and looked at his daughter.
Song Changshang smiled mysteriously, "A kind of flower!"
"Flowers again!"
"What kind of flower?" Song Yuanbai was particularly sensitive to the word flower after the cotton incident!
Song Changshang ran upstairs, went to her room, cut two bouquets of flowers, and handed them to Song Yuanbai, "Dad, look, these are these flowers!"
Song Yuanbai took it and looked at it for a few seconds before saying, "Is this bunch of roses? Turkic roses!"
"Is this bunch of chrysanthemums?" Song Changshang nodded, "Yes, dad, I plan to plant these two kinds of flowers, then cut them off when they bloom, extract their essence, and sell them as rouge gouache!"
Song Yuanbai nodded in understanding, then shook his head, "But this doesn't require more than fifty acres of land?"
How many flowers can be planted on fifty acres of land!
"Dad, you don't think I dried flowers and then ground them to make rouge gouache, right?"
"if not?"
Song Changshang shook her head, "No dad, I want to extract the essence of these flowers and plants. Do you know the essence? This fifty acres is not enough for me!"
Very few are right. The Turkic rose is also the Damascus rose. The essential oil extracted from it is commonly known as liquid gold because it is very rare.
It takes 5,000 kilograms of rose petals to extract one kilogram of rose essential oil.
When she bought the seeds, she saw that the Damask rose seeds sold by the shop owner had an yield of about 1,000 kilograms per mu, which means that it takes five acres of roses to extract one kilogram of rose essential oil.
"Dad, I'll go upstairs and get you some bottles."
Seeing that her father was still deep in thought, Song Changshang didn't say anything and went directly upstairs to get the rose hydrosol she had extracted a few days ago.
"Dad, spread your hands."
Song Yuanbai didn't know what his daughter was going to do, but he did as he was told, "It smells so good!"
"What kind of water is this?"
Song Changshang pointed to the rose next to her, "The hydrosol extracted from it, it takes only one kilogram of roses to extract such a small amount of rose hydrosol."
"I'll give you this bottle to wipe your face with."
Damascus rose hydrosol, one kilogram of roses can extract 100ml of rose hydrosol. Although it is not as valuable as essential oils, it is still quite rare.
"and this."
Song Changshang ran upstairs again and took two small jars and handed them to Song Yuanbai.
"What is this?"
"This is aloe vera gel, this is a cream made with sweet almond oil."
Song Yuan understood clearly, "You didn't come out of the room the past few days because you were tinkering with these things!"
"Yes, Dad, I've been using it for a few days and it feels pretty good. Please give me feedback if you feel better after using it."
Song Yuanbai responded, "I understand."
He knew that aloe vera and sweet almond could be used as medicine, or they could be developed into skin care products and applied to the face.
Song Changshang ran upstairs again. This time she was holding a book in her hand. She opened one of the pages and put it in front of Song Yuanbai, "Dad, look, I read it from this book."
“It also has a distillation apparatus painted on it!”
Song Yuanbai glanced at Song Changshang, then picked up the book and read it carefully several times, and asked in shock, "My dear daughter, where did you get this book? Did His Highness the King of Jin give it to you?"
"What, I bought them myself! At a bookstall, the stall owner said that these books were all anecdotes, so I bought them all for fifty taels of silver."
"At first I thought this book was just about introducing flowers, plants and trees, but I didn't expect that the extraction methods were also carefully written down later."
Song Yuanbai closed the book and said seriously, "Daughter, this book is a treasure, you must keep it well."
Sure enough, reading more is beneficial! There is Yan Ruyu’s golden house in the book. Isn’t this the golden house of Yan Ruyu?
Song Changshang smiled slightly and said, "Of course, Dad, this book should be regarded as an heirloom of our family."
She spent a lot of money to write this book with pure calligraphy in the system mall.
So precious!
