The space doctor girl became the favorite of exiled ministers

Chapter 286 Making Mouth Grease ([-]st update)
Jiang Zhiluo's heart was beating fast. Just looking at Cui Hejin's eyes, she felt that there was a soul-stirring power in them, which made her eyes feel like an electric shock.

There was an inexplicable sweet feeling in my heart.

"Actually, I don't want you to work hard. You know I don't care about that."

"I just want to make money so that we can eat well and use it well."

As for the Wei family's affairs, Jiang Zhiluo didn't want to talk about it for the time being.

She didn't want to involve Cui Hejin, and she didn't want him to be in any danger.

"You take these!"

Maybe Cui Hejin needs the money, and she will feel bad if she can't take so many banknotes.

Cui Hejin's eyes became deeper and did not close.

Jiang Zhiluo felt inexplicably that Cui Hejin seemed a little sad at this time.

"Why don't you accept it? This is for family use. My money should have been given to you."

Her heart trembled, so she could only hold it first.

Well, in fact, these banknotes are just banknotes if they are kept there. If they are used to make business and make money, they will earn more money.

"Then I'll take these banknotes and plan to open a shop."

Cui Hejin said softly: "It's okay, as long as you are happy."

Yes, she can do anything with the banknote.

Jiang Zhiluo sniffed and thought, even though he had no memory of his previous life, he was still treating her well.

It gave her an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Jiang Zhiluo walked forward and reached out to hug Cui Hejin.

"I think you're really nice."

Cui Hejin sighed softly and gently touched Jiang Zhiluo's hair.

The two of them walked further into the mountains and picked some things, but Jiang Zhiluo suddenly saw sugar cane.

This is when sugar cane was discovered in another valley deep in the mountains.

Jiang Zhiluo couldn't believe it at all, "Why is there sugar cane here?"

But Jiang Zhiluo can feel that the climate in this small valley is warm and humid, so sugar cane grows here, right?

And there is a patch of sugar cane here.

Cui Hejin whispered: "When I was in the capital, there were businessmen from the south who would sell some sugar cane."

When he was a child, the house also bought sugar cane, and he ate it once.

But it mainly produces sweet juice.

“I didn’t expect there could be sugar cane here in Beizhou.”

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said: "It turns out that sugar cane does exist in the south, but I didn't expect it to also exist here."

"Sugar cane can be used to make sugar just like sugar beets."

Cui Hejin listened to Jiang Zhiluo's words and roughly understood the meaning of her words, "It will be very hard for you to make balm and brown sugar at the same time."

There’s so much going on at once, it’s impossible to keep busy.

Jiang Zhiluo thought for a while and said, "I still focus on making balm and lip balm."

"But I can hire people from the village to make brown sugar."

“Teach them how to make sugar from beets and cane.”

"It just so happens that brown sugar is scarce in the north and there are many people using brown sugar. I will teach you how to make brown sugar so that it can be sold in the north."

"With this craft, people in the village have something to do during the slack season, and they can earn some copper coins to support their families."

During her time in Donghe Village, Jiang Zhiluo also found that the people in the village were very nice, although everyone liked to gossip.

But that was also during the off-season period when everyone had nothing to do, so they just liked to talk about trivial matters, but they were harmless.

Everyone is kind in nature, and they listen to advice and will not cause trouble.

They all worked hard on the one-third of an acre of land in their respective homes.

So she is also willing to teach the villagers a craft.

And even if everyone accidentally leaked the sugar-making method, it would have no impact on her.

Because she didn't originally want to be in the sugar business, she mainly wanted to be in the balm and lip balm business.

But when I saw the sugar cane, I thought it was a bit wasteful to put it here.

You can also be taught to plant sugar cane in the mountains and sugar beets in the ground to make sugar.

Cui Hejin said softly: "If the people in the village know about it, they will be very happy."

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said: "Well, I know that during the slack season, everyone really wants to go out to find work, but it's not easy to find work at all, so everyone stays at home during the slack season." She heard Mrs. Cui say that before People in the village also went out to find work.

But it's not that easy.

The waiters in other restaurants all get into the restaurant through entrustment.

Over at the dock, those waiting to be moved also have stewards. The stewards are familiar with the ship dealers. When a cargo ship comes, who will be asked to carry it and which talents will be asked to carry it.

Moreover, the work is very tiring, the wages are low, and they don’t even care about food.

Furthermore, those with a bit of craftsmanship can set up stalls at the pier.

But how can they make something delicious?

Therefore, most people in the village are still farming.

Everyone lives on the grain harvested every year.

So Jiang Zhiluo actually wants to help everyone.

Of course, making brown sugar is also good for her.

She can conquer the northern market.

It's just that she has to think about it carefully when she goes back.

When she went back, Jiang Zhiluo also saw many hawthorn trees, "There are still hawthorns here, but they are not mature yet."

“You can come and pick them when they are ripe.”

Cui Hejin said: "Want to eat hawthorn?"

Whatever she wanted to eat, he planned to go out and buy it for her.

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said: "No, I just think these hawthorns can be used to make fruit peels and lip balms."

Cui Hejin didn't expect that hawthorn could also be used to make mouth grease.

They also came back with a full load when they went back.

Ingredients such as comfrey, jasmine, osmanthus, and roselle are first dried on a dustpan.

Set aside the mulberries and raspberries that are used to make lip balm.

Seeing that they were back, Mrs. Cui and Cui Qingci also came out to help.

"Zhi Luo, do you want to dry all these?"

Jiang Zhiluo explained: "Mom, those are used to make balm, and these are used to make lip balm. Wash the mulberries and raspberries first so that I can pound them all with a wooden mortar."

The mashed juice is strained and used to make lip balm.

Making balm takes some time, making lip balm can be easier.

Mrs. Cui and Cui Qingci listened to Jiang Zhiluo's words and helped wash them.

When pounding with a wooden mortar, Cui Hejin came up to help.

Jiang Zhiluo felt much more relaxed.

After working for a while, after lunch, I continued working in the afternoon.

Crush the mulberries, add camellia oil and filter.

Strain the juice, put it into the honeycomb, and heat it again.

Stir while heating, wait until the comb is melted and then turn off.

Pour the prepared lip balm into the wooden bottles that have been prepared in advance.

The lipstick is poured into the small wooden bottle, which looks good.

Cui Qingci was amazed, "Sister-in-law, if you do it like this, your lipstick will look great, delicate and beautiful."

Cui Qingci also liked to use rouge and gouache before, so she naturally knew how good this lipstick looked.

Especially in such a delicate and beautiful little bottle, it feels so beautiful.

"The boxes containing rouge and gouache in stores in the capital are not so exquisite."

What Cui Qingci said is true.

Not to mention the exquisite carvings on the small bottle.

In the past, she would have bought lip balm like this just to buy a bottle.

"And the color is nice too."

Jiang Zhiluo filled more than 30 small bottles of lip balm in one go.

This small bottle can be filled with just a little bit of lipstick.

"You and your mother each take one bottle and use it first. I will give you other colors of lipstick after I make other colors."
