Chapter 76; This gift is a bit shabby

"Is everything done?"

In the evening, in the house behind Baizhen Tower, Lu Yaoyao was sitting by the window of the second-story building, enjoying the cool breeze.

Standing behind him was Qiu Shuang, who had just returned from doing errands outside.

"Yes, the things you told me have been delivered to Prince Yunjun's mansion."

"How's it going over there with Xu Zhao?"

Xu Zhao has been dismissed from office, his original official residence has been taken back by the court, and the Gao family has taken away the dowry.

The property and money in his own name were also used for compensation.

Nowadays, he is not miserable, but after all, he has been an official for many years and still has his own small treasury.

Although I don’t have much money, it’s not a big problem to ensure my basic life in the future.

"As soon as he left the mansion, he was taken away by Prince Yun's people."

"It probably won't end well."

For Xu Zhao, Lu Yaoyao didn't have any feelings at all in her heart. She used to be called her father, more or less because of the blood relationship, so she had some scruples about some things.

However, as Xu Zhao exposed her life experience, the originally helpless relationship was completely severed.

If she hadn't wanted to verify whether the secrets he mentioned today were real, she wouldn't have bothered to let Qiu Shuang threaten Prince Yun not to kill Xu Zhao.

"Go down and rest."

Qiu Shuang nodded and retreated.

She had just left for a while when Qiu Yu walked in from outside.

"Miss, my second uncle is here."

"Please."

"Yaoyao, come and help my second uncle to see if this thing is done correctly."

Even before anyone came in, the sound was heard.

The second uncle of the Lu family walked in from outside holding several small porcelain bottles in his hands.

The slightest hint of fragrance spread out as he moved around.

"Second uncle, what are you talking about?"

"No, you gave me the formulas for perfume and soap that day?"

"I just tinkered with it myself and got a few bottles out. It looked pretty good to me, but I just didn't know if it was right or not."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, reached out and picked up a porcelain bottle and opened it. A strong floral fragrance burst out, and she frowned slightly.

This smell is really too strong.

"This can be regarded as a perfume, but there is something wrong with the proportion of the materials, so it can only be regarded as a low-quality perfume."

"Bad quality? Can it be used?"

Lu Yaoyao shook her head. Although inferior perfume was still perfume and could be used, she did not intend to use it.

After all, she plans to take the high-end route for perfumes and soaps and do business for the rich and powerful, so there can be no problems with product quality.

"The ____ does not work."

"Second uncle, do you have any other materials? You're fine now. I'll make one for you to take a look at."

"Yes, yes. Come on, I'll take you there."

The two got up and walked outside, and soon they came to the place where the second uncle of the Lu family was tinkering with perfume.

The front of Lu Yaoyao's house had always been empty, and there were no servants. Before she moved in, only the second uncle of the Lu family and his entourage lived here.

She just moved in today, and she hasn't prepared any servants yet. Currently, there are only five or six people in the house.

The materials were all readily available. Lu Yaoyao, who had several successful experiences, prepared a perfume in a short time.

"It's indeed a little more elegant than what I made."

Lu Yaoyao also told him many things to pay attention to, as well as her future development plans for these two products.

The second uncle of the Lu family nodded repeatedly.

"The idea is very good. If everything goes well, this business will bring considerable profits."

"It's just that I'm worried that it will attract the covetousness of others."

Lu Yaoyao's plan is very complete, and the second uncle of the Lu family is also a very business-minded person, so it is easy to see the huge profits contained in it.

It is no exaggeration to say that once these two things are popularized, it will be no exaggeration to make a fortune every day.

After all, it is aimed at the powerful and wealthy merchants. The most indispensable thing these people have is money.

A bottle of perfume costs two taels of silver, which may be a sky-high price for ordinary people, but for these powerful people, this is more than just a casual reward to their servants.

There are also soaps and the like, but they are much better than those soaps before.

Apart from these two things, there is actually another thing that has great potential.

That is the spirit distilled in the process of making perfume.

The most important ingredient in perfume is the alcohol mentioned in Lu Yaoyao's formula, and in the process of distilling alcohol, many high-quality spirits will be produced.

If perfume and soap are in the business of women, then this liquor is in the business of men.

The second uncle of the Lu family is also a good drinker. When he was distilling alcohol earlier, he also tasted the spirits produced.

That was shocking. Compared with high-quality spirits, the drinks he drank before were almost the same as horse urine.

These three things are all first-class good things and can bring huge benefits.

While he was happy, he was also a little worried.

"There's no need to worry about this second uncle. I was just busy with Xu Zhao's affairs today, and I forgot to tell you something important."

She talked about the cooperation she had already negotiated with the eldest princess.

"Seriously? The eldest princess is really willing to do business with us?"

"Not together, but we are using her name to scare Xiaoxiao."

She had made an agreement with the eldest princess that she didn't need to get involved, she just needed to show it publicly when necessary and he would have a share.

"That's not bad. With the support of the eldest princess, this business will definitely be no problem."

"Yes, but we still need to discuss it in detail. Second uncle, you will draw up a detailed cooperation contract later."

"Qiu Yu, please go and deliver a post to the eldest princess's residence. My second uncle and I will visit her home tomorrow."

Qiu Yu responded and left.

"By the way, Second Uncle, how much spirit do you still have left from distilling the alcohol before?"

"There are still more than twenty kilograms, what's wrong?"

"In a moment, you can find some beautiful bottles, fill them with two kilograms each, and bring three bottles as gifts for your visit tomorrow."

The eldest princess is not the only one in the eldest princess's mansion.

Qiu Shuang investigated the situation of Princess Dachang’s Mansion earlier.

Although this prince-in-law is a bit out of character and even has some involvement with Xu Zhao and the Gao family, the two sons of the eldest princess are pretty good.

They are all in the court, one in culture and one in martial arts.

The eldest son, Congwen, currently serves as the governor of Sunchon and is mainly responsible for managing public security and government affairs in Gyeonggi. In the future, they may need his help if they want to do business in the capital.

Next is the second child, who is currently the deputy commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and is also responsible for Gyeonggi affairs.

Since it is a cooperation, we will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future. With these two people protecting us, there should be no blind people looking for trouble.

If the eldest princess protects you above, the emperor will give you some face. If you can get the support of the eldest princess's two sons below, things will go much smoother.

"Just give me wine? Wouldn't such a gift be too shabby?"

The second uncle of the Lu family knew where those drinks came from.

They are all cheap drinks on the market. After distillation, the cost of two kilograms of spirits is less than five taels of silver.

Three jugs of strong wine, I plan to have fifteen taels.

That's the eldest princess's mansion. It's really a shame to give such a gift.
