Chapter 237 Customized steamer

As soon as they left, only Aji was left, looking at Jiang Chengye's carriage with a worried look on his face, and the workshop suddenly became quiet.

The two men ignored Aji's sadness and went straight to the kitchen to discuss their arrangements for the next few days.

Although the two wanted to take an afternoon off, they had no time to rest after hearing about what happened in Zhaoming Rose Valley. They had to hurry to arrange things here and then head to Zhaoming.

They don't worry about the lives of their children. Each of them is very independent and there will be no problem even if they leave them.

There is no work to be done in the fields recently, and Mr. Chen and his family are always there to help them watch over them, so the two are not worried at all.

The main problem is the workshop.

Zhaoming County was not very close, and according to the manager, it would take two days and one night to travel there overnight, not to mention that they were there to buy rose petals.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin thought it would be too troublesome to transport the rose petals back, so they planned to ask Manager Fang to find a place there to start distilling them, and then directly transport the finished essential oil back.

Although the number of roses there is not clear at the moment, from what Manager Fang described about the thousand-acre rose valley in full bloom, there should be quite a few.

When I was in school, I borrowed the roses of a junior sister in the agronomy laboratory next door and heard her say that the roses they cultivated could produce up to 1,000 kilograms per mu when the yield was high.

Of course, although roses in this era have not been improved, the number of double petals may not be too many, and the management is not as good as modern ones, but the yield per mu should still be half of that.

If there really are one thousand acres, that would be 500,000 kilograms of rose petals, which is a considerable number.

Even if the two of them distilled day and night without stopping, it would probably take more than ten days. What's more, they are not robots and cannot work day and night, so the time will be dragged out even longer.

Not to mention whether the rose petals can be preserved for that long, the two people in the family are really worried.

So now we have to think of a way to improve the efficiency of distillation, and try to complete all the distillation within seven days and then rush back.

First of all, you need to bring a few more distillation steamers with you. Distilling in several steamers together can greatly improve efficiency.

Zengzi and his companion still planned to ask Carpenter Li's family to make a few for them. Although it would be more convenient to go there for customization, they were still unfamiliar with the place and it might take more time.

Moreover, Carpenter Li has already made one and knows their needs, so what he makes will definitely better meet their needs.

We are leaving tomorrow, and I don’t know if Carpenter Li can make a few more.

Thinking of this, the two did not dare to delay any longer and decided to settle the matter of the steamer first.

When they went out, they saw Aji still sitting at the door, looking at the road at the entrance of the village in a daze. The two of them really couldn't stand it.

"Aji, if you are really bored, go to sleep for a while." Zheng Yuan patted his shoulder.

"It's okay, auntie, I'll just sit for a while." Aji said weakly.

Seeing him like this, the two of them said nothing more and went towards Carpenter Li's house.

This Aji really has such a strong withdrawal reaction every time he separates from Jiang Chengye. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin can't help but wonder if he has some improper thoughts about their young master.

When the two men arrived at Carpenter Li's house, Carpenter Li and his family were doing carpentry work in the yard.

"Grandma Zheng! Grandma Duan!" Xiaoyu, who was playing with wood shavings nearby, called out sweetly when he saw the two of them standing at the door.

"Hey~ Xiaoyu, come and help grandma open the door."

The family who heard the noise looked up and saw them.

Xiaoyu ran over, opened the door and let the two in.

"Oh my, Xiaoyu is so good~" The two couldn't help but pinch Xiaoyu's chubby little face.

Xiaoyu didn't expect them to pinch her face, so she ran to her father and mother embarrassedly, her little face flushed.

"Auntie!" Li Tiantong and his wife greeted them.

Sister Li patted the sawdust off her body and came over: "Do you have something to do again?"

"I can't hide anything from my sister-in-law! She's really good at predicting things!" Duan Minmin exaggeratedly gave Sister-in-law Li a thumbs up.

"Bah! What do you mean by predicting things? Every time you come here you have to make something, and you never think of your sister-in-law at all on weekdays!" Sister Li pinched Duan Minmin with a smile.

"There are so many things to do at home. When we sisters are free, we will definitely stay at sister-in-law's house." Zheng Yuan also smiled and took sister-in-law Li's arm.

"I'll remember this. If you don't come, I'll stay at your house." Sister Li laughed and said, "Tell me, what are you going to make this time?"

The two men also spoke seriously and stated the purpose of their trip.

"Sister-in-law, brother, we still want the steamer we made before. But we need it urgently. We need some tomorrow afternoon. We will make as many as we can."

"Tomorrow afternoon? Why are you in such a hurry?" Carpenter Li also stopped the work in his hands.

"We are going to Zhaoming County and need this steamer. We are short on time, so we are here to trouble you, Brother Li and Sister-in-law."

"Going to Zhaoming?"

Except for Carpenter Li, no one else in the yard had ever heard of Zhaoming County, so they all looked confused.

"That's right. Our business with Jiang Ji has some urgent matters over there, and we need to use this steamer." Zheng Yuan didn't elaborate.

"I see. This thing isn't complicated. I've made it before. I'll start now and work on it tonight. I think it won't be a problem to make three or four tomorrow."

Carpenter Li didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and prepared to pick up his tools to look for wood.

"We are really sorry to bother you. We have no other choice. When we come back, we will invite your family to come over for a gathering."

"Hey, what are you talking about? It's troublesome or not." Sister-in-law Li glared at them. "It's too polite to say that. Sister-in-law doesn't like to hear it."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Then sister-in-law, we will go back first and come back tomorrow to get the things." The two of them were no longer polite.

"Okay! We'll start working as soon as possible. If you need any help, just ask the kids at home to come find us."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

The two of them responded and hurried out the door. There were indeed many things that needed to be arranged.

The matter of the steamer has been arranged, and the next thing to consider is the workshop.

As soon as they left, there was no problem with the toothbrush. The two old ladies were very relieved that the workshop was under the supervision of the three old ladies. However, the configuration of the toothpaste was a big problem.

We had just agreed to send out a batch of toothpaste and toothbrushes every five days, and now that they were gone we had to find someone to take over the distribution work. Otherwise, if other places ran out of stock, that would be a big problem.

The two thought that they should choose two children to tell them the recipe and teach them how to make peppermint essential oil, and then let them do the job.

They are responsible for the configuration and canning, and they will ask Mr. Chen's family for help, so that even if the two of them walk for ten days, there will be no problem.

As for who to choose, we still need to consider it.

It’s not that they don’t trust the children and Lao Chen’s family, but the main reason is that the toothpaste is a secret formula, so naturally fewer people know that it is the best.

We are all simple people who have not experienced too many things. If someone with ulterior motives wants to trick us, we will be caught off guard and let everything slip out of our mouths.
