Chapter 253 Bergamot Aromatherapy

She came to the front yard alone to find Jiaojiao for the glass ornaments.

A trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across Jiaojiao's face, and she smiled and said:

"Mrs. Liang, you may not know that my elder sister is a very powerful person. The colored glass bracelet you are wearing is from my elder sister's family. This incense is a new item my elder sister brought for me to enjoy."

Ji Xiaobei took out the aromatherapy from his sleeve, stepped forward and said:

"Mrs. Liang, you are a noble lady with a lot of experience. Why don't you give me some advice and smell it?"

She put the aromatherapy on the table.

Mrs. Liang's eyes almost popped out of her head with excitement, but she didn't move. This was the first time she had seen such a thing, and it was very novel. However, it looked very valuable, and she couldn't afford to pay for it if it was broken.

Ji Xiaobei pressed the switch and a fragrance wafted out.

"This is the scent of bergamot. We also have lemon and lavender scents... If Madam Liang likes it, you can go to Jiaojiao's silver shop to choose after it is developed!"

"Ah, this, incense, where is the incense?" Mrs. Liang asked in disbelief, staring.

Ji Xiaobei repeated what he had explained to Jiaojiao.

Mrs. Liang was reluctant to take her eyes off the aromatherapy. She cleared her throat and said:

"Oh, why does this thing look so familiar? Last time I went to the palace, Concubine Hua had a lot of them in and outside her room. She said she would give me some, but I think it would be most practical to light some incense..."

Ji Xiaobei: Hahaha, Mrs. Liang is better at making up stories than I am...

"Well, this thing is not a rare thing for you nobles, but for us ordinary people, it can be regarded as a treasure to enjoy."

Having said that, Ji Xiaobei put it in the box, put it away, then stood up and said goodbye.

After leaving Jiaojiao's house, just as he was about to get on the donkey cart, Ruo Xiaolian ran out holding his robe:

"Sister, sister, let me take you there!"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "No need. I'll go to your silver shop in a couple of days. Do you still want the goods?"

"Sister, I've been waiting for you to say this. The goods have been sold out a long time ago. I'm worried about Jiaojiao, otherwise I would have gone to Wei County to find you a long time ago. Your goods are so easy to sell. I want as many bracelet pendants as you have?"

"Xiao Lian, what do you think of opening a shop selling colored glass?"

Before Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, Ruo Xiaolian's heart skipped a beat.

He had long thought that Ji Xiaobei might open his own shop.

But when Ji Xiaobei really said this, he still felt a little strange, although he knew that business is business and does not involve private emotions.

Ji Xiaobei saved me twice. If it weren't for her, my body would have rotted away long ago.

Ruo Xiaolian raised his head, smiled calmly and said, "Sure, sister, if you need my help, just tell me. I know Anzhou better than you do."

Although Ruo Xiaolian was a little surprised, he still looked calm. Ji Xiaobei's trust in him increased a little more.

Although this man is not very reliable, his character is not a problem.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "I'm new here, and it's not realistic to open a glass shop in Anzhou, so I want to form a partnership with you. You take care of the front matter, and I'll supply the goods and ensure the quality. How do you think?"

"Ah!" Ruo Xiaolian didn't react at once.

She wants to open a glass shop and form a partnership with me?

This stuff is really fucking profitable. There is no one selling colored glass in the whole Anzhou.

There are a few in the capital, but they are all for the daughters and wives of princes and nobles, and the prices are very expensive.

The Great Northern Dynasty did not produce colored glaze; all of it was shipped from the Western and Northern Xinjiang.

If you open a glass shop in Anzhou, it will definitely sell well.

Ji Xiaobei saw Ruo Xiaolian in a daze, and wondered whether he thought opening a glass shop was unrealistic or he didn't want to be a partner with him and was too embarrassed to say it.

"There's no rush for this, I'm just saying it casually, go back and think about whether you can open this shop.

As for the partnership, I am just suggesting that you have accumulated so many customers over the years. You have your own traffic."

After Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, he got on the donkey cart and left.

Only after Ji Xiaobei walked away did Ruo Xiaolian come to his senses.

He shook his head. He didn't understand what self-generated traffic meant, but he felt that he had to be more cautious when opening a glass shop. After all, those who could afford this thing were either rich or noble, and they were not people to be trifled with.

If something goes wrong, our small business cannot afford it.

He would have to talk this matter over with his sister when he got the chance.

She had just arrived in Anzhou and didn't understand these things. When dealing with nobles, it would be okay if she encountered a greedy person and suffered some losses, but if she encountered a domineering person who was looking for trouble, she might lose her head.

The reason why their family was able to open a silver shop in the capital was because his aunt was the favorite concubine of the late emperor.

Although the late emperor has passed away, the relationships that the Ruo family has maintained in the capital over the years are still there. They have to spend a lot of money every year to bribe officials in the capital, and for now, the business can still continue.

Ji Xiaobei certainly didn't know that Ruo Xiaolian was so worried. She was just thinking about making money. There was still a month or two before her due date, and it would be best if she could get some more money.

Only during the confinement period can you lie down at home with peace of mind.

It was already afternoon when Ji Xiaobei got home. She had eaten on the way and was not hungry at all.

Zhang Yiyuan and Shitou and his men have already built the donkey shed and are now building a chicken coop.

They were all servants and did a good job at housework. They kept the backyard clean.

Clear away all the dead grass in the vegetable patch.

"Mom, this is what you want." Ji Xiaobei handed a few packets of seeds to Mrs. Lin.

Before leaving, Mrs. Lin told me to buy some seeds at the grocery store when I came back.

Mrs. Lin specifically said that no matter what kind of seeds they were, as long as they were edible, it was fine. With so many mouths to feed, the two acres of land in the backyard could not be left idle and must be planted with something.

Ji Xiaobei actually wanted to use the backyard as a training ground, but seeing that Mrs. Lin was determined to grow something, she had to give up.

Let’s find a suitable place later. Shitou and the others can’t stay here for more than a few days before they are driven back by Mrs. Lin.

"What kind of seeds are they?" Mrs. Lin asked.

"This is cabbage seeds. I don't know what the rest are. The guy said they are scattered mixed seeds, given to me for free."

Ji Xiaobei said.

In fact, those packets were placed in the space by Zheng Guo. She wrapped them in yellow paper but did not write what kind of seeds they were.

After all, they are crops, things that can be eaten.

Mrs. Lin planted the seeds immediately...

Anyway, as a farmer, she would not allow the land to remain idle, otherwise she would feel heartbroken for losing money.

Haixia ran over in a hurry, holding Ji Deyan and said, "Sister Xiaobei, Yanyan doesn't seem to be feeling well!"

When Ji Deyan saw Ji Xiaobei, she hummed in grievance, broke free from Haixia's arms, and jumped onto Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Deyan was very strong and hit Ji Xiaobei's chest with two big lumps, causing him excruciating pain.
