All Hail Cousin Brother

Four flowers bloom with one arrow, and the flowers bloom larger than ordinary orchids, and are as bright and colorful as Wodan. They contrast with the elegant orchid leaves, showing a soft and graceful posture.

It is truly breathtakingly beautiful.

As soon as you get close, you will feel the fragrance of the flowers is quiet, elegant, refreshing, and refreshing.

Nanny Xu praised: "Cinnabar orchid is a spring sword orchid, which is divided into "bubble pole" and "iron pole". This one is the "iron pole" orchid, which belongs to the top grade and ranks first among all orchids. It is pure and bright red. Cinnabar is very rare. In the early years, Pengcheng paid tribute to a hard-core big red cinnabar orchid. The Queen Mother felt like it was a treasure. From then on, Pengcheng's big red cinnabar was classified as a holy orchid, and Yunnan's purple-red cold-grade cinnabar orchid was listed as a holy orchid. Tribute Orchid.”

There are many varieties of orchids, and the differences among them are difficult for people who don’t understand orchids to distinguish them.

In the Zhou Dynasty, red was the most popular color, and cinnabar orchid was also more valuable.

Yu Youyao smiled and curled her lips: "I don't know much about orchids. I thought that cinnabar orchids are already rare and famous. I didn't expect that there are so many famous ones."

She didn't have many requirements for what Yin Huaixi would give her, but what was rare was his thoughtfulness.

She probably knows that she has been used to seeing good things since she was a child, and ordinary things are indifferent. Yin Huaixi is like Xie's family and her grandmother. No matter what he gives her, he always chooses the best.

The better the thing, the more thought is put into it, which means the person giving the gift has more care, which always makes people happier.

Aunt Xu also said: "Orchids are not only about varieties, but also appearance. Orchids of the same variety have many differences in stems and flower colors, so they cannot be generalized."

The fragrance of cinnabar orchids was elegant and refreshing, and it smelled really good. Yu Youyao felt happy, so she found a miscellaneous book of travel notes and ordered someone to set up a couch by the window, where she leaned on the couch and read.

Chunxiao brought some snacks over.

Wild rose flowers have a stronger fragrance. Yu Youyao made some flower paste and shaved the dried flowers. The flower paste was made into flower cakes, and the outer layer was made of layers of puff pastry to make a salty, sweet, crispy and golden puff pastry. With a "click", you bite open the puff pastry on the outside. The flowing flower sauce is bright and rich, and the sweet taste overflows your mouth.

Grind the dried flowers into powder and add glutinous rice flour to make rose flower cake. The pink flower cake is made into rose patterns. It tastes fragrant and waxy, melts in your mouth, and does not stick to your teeth.

Yu Youyao thought it was delicious, so she ordered Chunxiao to send some of the prepared flower cakes and flower cakes to Mrs. Xie and Wang's house for the elders to have a taste.

Only a little of the picked rose flowers were made into flower paste and dried flowers, which were kept for making snacks, while the rest were made into fragrant medicine.

The flower ointment is made of green fruit oil (olive oil) and rose petals. The green fruit oil is refreshing and moisturizing, and not greasy. The flower ointment made is very effective in moisturizing the face and toning the skin.

Moreover, green fruit oil has a refreshing taste and can be paired with any ointment and fragrance powder.

However, rose dew requires a large number of petals to distill the essence.

Most of the rose flowers that Yu Youyao picked were steamed with floral dew, and in the end she only had a bottle of floral dew as big as a palm. She used the floral dew to make lip balm and perfume, and only used less than half of it.

But it's really useful.

Because the amount was too small, she was reluctant to use it. After bathing every day, she would add two drops of rose flower dew to the skin-nourishing green fruit oil and apply it evenly all over the body.

After using it, I feel refreshed all over my body, and there is also a faint fragrance of roses. The fragrance lasts all day long the next day.

…

On the second day, the two stewards of Silkworm Village took the roster and showed it to her.

There are seven thick rosters, each of which records a county, a list of retail investors willing to cooperate, and basic information, such as the size, location, silk production volume of the silkworm farm under the name, and the main types of tussah silkworms raised, etc.

There are nine kinds of oak trees suitable for sericulture, and there are more than ten kinds of tussah trees. Each kind of oak tree produces different silk.

The most valuable among them is the Celestial Silkworm.

The silkworm cocoon does not need to be dyed, but has a natural emerald green color and a unique luster. When woven into silk, it has a bright color. It is a "tribute silk" that is rarely seen among the people.

Only a small amount of silkworms are in the hands of the gentry, and retail investors cannot raise them.

Manager Zhang in gray clothes said: "As soon as the news spread, retail investors in sericulture in Liancheng got wind of the news and came to visit us. After the imperial court issued the national policy, even retail investors in some surrounding sericulture areas came to our door."

In addition to Liancheng, these lists also include Dandong, Xiuyan, Anshan, Xiangping, Fengcheng and other places. These areas are almost the main production areas of tussah silkworms in the three provinces of Liaodong.

It can be seen that retail investors have had enough of the oppression of the gentry.

Princess Shaoyi also responded to every call in the northern border.

Manager Qian in Lan also said: "Don't underestimate these retail investors. The gentry controls the sericulture industry and buys low and sells high. In order to make a living, retail investors can only spend more time on sericulture technology and improve silk production and quality." , high-quality silk can bring high profits to the gentry, and the price is also relatively high, so almost all of these retail investors are good at raising silkworms and have unknown methods of raising silkworms. It is ridiculous to say that Liaodong The high-quality silk in this area does not come from large silkworm farmers, but from these individual farmers."

Yu Youyao nodded: "The retail investors who can survive under the oppression of the gentry are naturally outstanding." She flipped through a few rosters and took a rough look at them, and she almost understood the current situation of the retail investors in the three provinces of Liaodong: " You take my seal and go to the government tomorrow to sign a contract and ask the retail investors on the list who are willing to cooperate to put their fingerprints. Having a contract will also make people feel at ease, and this matter will basically be officially settled."

The contract is only in one form, showing everyone's attitude of helping each other and advancing and retreating together.

Led by Yu Youyao, it was ensured that as long as the silk produced by retail investors passed the quality standard, no matter how much, it would be charged at the market price of silk from the Zhou Dynasty.

Retail investors will also ensure that nothing will harm the interests of Yu Youyao and other retail investors.

It has no substantive effect.

However, a contract formally links the interests of retail investors.

Manager Zhang and Manager Qian quickly agreed. After the young lady was granted the title of princess, she would have a seal representing the identity of the princess, which could be used for some important contracts. Normally, she would use her own seal.

It shows that the young lady attaches great importance to this matter, so they naturally don't dare to be careless.

Yu Youyao said again: "In my name, I will go to Deyuelou to reserve the venue for one day. You will come forward and invite the stewards on the list to gather at Deyuelou in three days to get to know each other, keep in touch with each other, and share the information of each retail investor." Integrate connections and channels to exchange experience in sericulture.”

This kind of exchange meeting, in her name, can be regarded as expressing her attitude towards uniting with retail investors. She does not need to come forward in person. The manager under her name will personally hold and host it. This is enough, and those retail investors are decent. .
