The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 463: Discussion

This is practically handing myself a lucrative opportunity.

However, Yun Jiao hesitated for a moment, "I don’t really have the time to manage these."

Princess Kang intimately took her hand, "You don’t need to personally oversee it."

"I’ll provide the silver, find the place and the people to work; you just need to keep hold of the secret formula."

Not having to put in the effort, Yun Jiao was willing, but ensuring the formula wouldn’t leak while maintaining production was a puzzle.

"How about when the silver is earned, we split it sixty-forty; I’ll take forty and you take sixty."

Yun Jiao quickly said, "That won’t do, I haven’t done much, so how about I take forty and you take sixty?"

Both pushed back and forth for a while, eventually agreeing to split it fifty-fifty.

Yun Jiao added, "Mosquito repelling flower dew is seasonal; it’s only good for sale in summer. Since the workshop is up, why not produce perfumes too?"

Princess Kang exclaimed with delight, "Is it the perfume Mother uses?"

Yun Jiao nodded, "We can not only create floral perfumes but also extract essential oils from various fragrances to blend different scented perfumes."

"I know how to extract them, but we’ll need natural scent-sensitive perfumers to do the blending."

Prince Kang eagerly said, "Leave all that to me, I’ll have the stewards take care of it."

"Once the location is set, we can invite Sister to take a look at how to set up the workshop inside."

Yun Jiao nodded, "Okay, when Sister finds a place, have someone inform me. The workshop will also need some tools, I’ll go back and think it over first."

Yun Jiao and Lady Wu admired some pots of chrysanthemums at the Prince Mansion, had lunch, and then returned home.

Returning, Yun Jiao sat in the shop thinking about the flower dew.

The formula contains many things, some of which obviously can’t be hidden. Anyone familiar with pharmacology can distinguish them, such as camphor and mint, both give a cool sensation.

Also, there’s musk, and its scent can’t be concealed.

So these items can’t be kept secret, nor do they need to be.

There are other itch-relieving herbs like fangfeng and baicalin, which need to be bought in large quantities, definitely can’t be kept secret either. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Only two ingredients, ox gall and snake gall, ox gall is added in small amounts, snake gall needs to be juiced before adding, these she can process herself first, then have a trusted person add them.

Next, Yun Jiao began drawing again, as the workshop still needs some tools.

For example, a distiller for extracting honeysuckle essence, a large stove and pot for cooking herbal juices, and a small grinding trough for grinding camphor and musk into fine powder.

Yun Jiao drew a distiller based on the one in her herb library, but was unsure if craftsmen could execute it.

There were also some tools for refining fragrance oils, which Yun Jiao resized based on the laboratory apparatus, unsure if they would work once made.

She also roughly sketched the layout of the workshop, the positions for the stove and distiller.

In the evening, Jiang Youzhi returned from the academy.

He got off the horse, took down a bunch of wild chrysanthemums stuck to the horse’s head, and strode into the shop.

Seeing Yun Jiao with her head down, engrossed in drawing and writing at the table, he silently walked up behind her and suddenly asked, "What are you doing?"

Yun Jiao was so focused on her work that she didn’t even realize someone was standing behind her; she was startled and, upon turning to see Jiang Youzhi, chided, "Why are you scaring me?"

Jiang Youzhi took out the wildflowers hidden behind his back and waved them under her nose.
