Chapter 33 Zongzi Festival
In a blink of an eye, it was the May Festival, a few days in advance, there was a county shopkeeper Liu sent someone to send a gift, and then the county magistrate's wife also sent a box of recent popular head flowers in Beijing, as thin as cicada wings of silk piled up, very exquisite, because I know that Hua Jin is still keeping filial piety, are very plain colors, Hua Jin accepted, I also feel very like, for this era of skilled craftsmen, also very admired.

As for Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Liu naturally needless to say, even Chang Yurao sent a little maid over to give a festival gift, and even regarded Huajin as a family to walk around.
Rong Mama and the others always looked at the house lonely, and the two masters also did their own things, except for the occasional person who came to ask for hydrosol, and they were idle all day long. Where did I think that this was going to be a holiday, and there were really a lot of people who wanted to move around.
"Mama, let's wrap some zongzi at home, and then use the box to pack three different soaps newly made by Sister Erya's family, and then send a pair of scented candles and two bottles of new-flavored hydrosol!" Hua Jin instructed Rong Mama to prepare a Boxing ceremony, Rong Mama is a person who has done things in the Princess's Mansion, and the interpersonal contacts in the Princess's Mansion are more complicated, she can handle it properly, Hua Jin's family This idea naturally does not need to be said.
Hearing the festival prepared by Hua Jinrang, Rong Mama also nodded secretly, those things sent by rich and noble families are extremely valuable, but their family does not have this background, make some food by themselves, or these flower dew that are already made at home, it is the best to make a festival, although it is not as valuable as those valuable, but now these things made by Hua Jin, which one is in short supply!
"Miss, someone from outside has brought zongzi!" As he spoke, he heard Holly reporting outside the door.
It turns out that Huajin taught the soap recipe to the whole Lijia Village, although Lijia Village is poor, but with the strength of the whole village, it is still a small shop in the county seat, and it is simply renovated, it is called Li Village Soap Shop, the shop only sells the soap produced by Lijia Village itself, compared to the soap sold now, their soap is cheap, and the golden one is also very auspicious。 Now not only people from the county town come to buy, but also people from other counties come, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and the life of the entire Lijia Village has begun to become rich.
Most of the people in Lijia Village are skilled workers, they used to be part-timers, but they are not like those farmers who purely farm the land with a narrow vision, Hua Jin gave them a prescription, do the carpenter's carving out a beautiful pattern, so that their soap is more beautiful than others, they can sell it for a penny more, and there are more soap to make a double happiness look, some people use it to press the box for the bride, it is also very good-looking.
The days are good, and the people of Lijia Village have not forgotten that it is Huajin's generosity that has led to their current life, seeing that the May Festival has arrived, the people in the village have wrapped zongzi and sent them to Huajin to express their gratitude.
"Take it all, Holly remembers, which one gave it, let's return the gift!" Hua Jin never planned to leave the world independent, and the gifts were still exchanged, so that they could get better and better.
Holly finished the report, and then heard the door knocked again, opened the door and saw that it was really to deliver the zongzi, politely took it, expressed gratitude, and then put the zongzi in the kitchen. By the time of the evening, the family had accumulated a lot of zongzi, and Furong looked at it with a headache, if she hadn't come to Hua's house before, she would have felt a great thing to see so many zongzi, but now she really feels very troublesome, so much, when can I finish eating!
"Mama, you remember, the village comes to give gifts, there are women's families, just send a bottle of hydrosol, regardless of the taste, you and Furong look at the choice, as for the people who don't have women, just send some of our own zongzi!" Hua Jin instructed, people with women, send hydrosol is suitable, and those who don't have it, it's a waste to send it, it's better to send some zongzi.
Mama Rong wrote it down, and then went out to find Furong, and the two of them prepared some zongzi and came out as a gift for the festival, as well as their own food.
Hua Jin's gifts were sent to various families, naturally they were welcomed, and these things she made had been passed to the state capital, because the road was far away, and those noble ladies could not easily come over, but there were also people who came to buy, even the original unlimited amount of hydrosol, now it is also a hot item, it is late, it may not be enough, not to mention the essential oil, those people can't wait to send someone to guard the door on the last day of the end of each month, waiting for the next day to grab it immediately. Therefore, the original ten taels of silver a bottle of essential oil, now the price on the black market is high and scary, it is obvious that no matter what era, love beauty is the inevitable nature of women, and they are happy to pay everything for it.
Chang Yurao came to play with Hua Jin that day, and told Hua Jin how high the price of the essence she made on the black market was, and said that she would sell it at a higher price, Hua Jin did not agree, in fact, so far, she will produce five or six bottles of essential oil every month, and the hydrosol is countless, and there are one hundred and ten taels of silver into her pocket every month, not that she doesn't want to make more, but she can't afford to mess with those big guys, since she has no background, don't try to swallow things that shouldn't be swallowed, she also knows that someone buys from her, and then sells them at a high price in other places, but she still sells them at the original price, only in this way can she ensure safety。
Those who know the times are junjie, and she understands this very well that if she can live well, she must not infringe on the interests of big businessmen. Her profit of one hundred and ten taels of silver per month seemed to those merchants, but if she really did too much, I am afraid she would not be so comfortable.
Rong Mama also came to understand later, Hua Jin has always been so diligent, soaking in the studio every day to make the so-called hydrosol and essence, but the shipment has been very stable, she guessed that in fact, the so-called bottle a month is just Hua Jin deliberately made, just look at those soaps also use essence, Hua Jin has never said enough to know. also guessed the purpose of Hua Jin's doing, she will always make a small fuss, so that she can't be targeted.
In fact, although Hua Jin is cautious, but her method, and ability, is still favored by many big businessmen, Hua Jin does not dare to sell at a high price, but they dare, although there is only so much every month, but they operate, the profit is also very high.
It's just that when he first went to the county seat to investigate, Chang Yulei stopped him, "Miss Huajin is a friend of our family, everyone take care of it!"
With the backing of the Chang family of the seven great families of Yan Kingdom, those businessmen naturally did not dare to do anything, so as to ensure the comfort of Huajin now. Of course, she didn't know about this, or rather, it was a long, long time before she realized that in her most peaceful country life, there was actually such a person behind her.
