Chapter 216: Knowing that There Are Tigers in the Mountains

"The most important raw materials for making perfume are essence and alcohol. Needless to say, alcohol, I believe you will definitely make it, Lao Wu. You only need to repeatedly distill the spirit you are brewing now to get a higher purity Alcohol is fine, but as for essential oils, go back and ask your concubine, I believe they will use some methods to get some, of course, what they make is definitely not as good as the method I taught you!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"I know how to make alcohol, but how do you make essential oils?"

"It's very simple, Old Wu. You can roughly use the method you use to distill wine to obtain it. You extract flower petals or roots with natural fragrance, leaves, etc. by distillation. In this way, you will get A mixture of some oil and water. Next, you separate the oil and water. This oil is the simplest essential oil. What kind of scented essential oil you need, you can extract it with the raw material of the scent, and then mix it with alcohol. water, you will get the perfume I am talking about. Of course, as far as its ratio is concerned, you need to explore it yourself, but I believe you can quickly figure out a way. Well, you might as well let your concubine also Get involved, she seems to have some unique interests and hobbies in fragrance." Gao Yuan laughed.

"So simple?"

"It's that simple!" Gao Yuan spread his hands, "It's simple to say, but if you really want to make a perfume that women like, I'm afraid you will have to spend a long time, and I can't care about that. But there is one thing I have to tell you , after this thing is made, you have to set a high price."

"Of course it has to be set high!" Wu Kai said through gritted teeth. "If it's really as good as you said."

"Don't worry!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Gao Yuan, I was thinking just now, if I don't give you 20% of the shares, will you not be able to remember how to make this thing?" Wu Kai asked suspiciously.

"Well, I don't know, but Lao Wu, you gave me 20% of the shares, and I was excited.

"It's boring." Wu Kai also laughed. "Okay, 20% of the shares. It's not just wine, but all the business of my Wu family. I find that you need to be squeezed out. Well, I will give you a little more benefit. Maybe there will be some weird ways to make money in the future." .”

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "There are so many ways. Old Wu, let me tell you, women's money is the best in this world. You get this thing out, and the scents of all varieties are neatly arranged. Keep those The aristocratic ladies will go crazy to help you raise the price in order to get this stuff. You, when the time comes, put some of it out, remember. What you sell will always be less than what you hope to get from the outside. In this way, Only then can the price be sold at a high price forever."

Wu Kai rejoiced for a while, and his face became serious again. "Gao Yuan, I'm still a little worried. The cost of this thing is low, but it's rare and expensive. It can make huge profits, but this kind of business is very easy to attract others' covetousness. When the time comes,

How do we respond? "

Gao Yuan sneered, "Any profitable industry will be coveted, Lao Wu, at this time, it's time for you to pay me 20% of the shares to play a role. I will be rude to those who dare to deal with you."

"There are some people you can't even afford to offend." Wu Kai shook his head and said.

"I even provoked the Prime Minister of Dayan, so what? If the bright ones can't come, I'll come in the dark." Gao Yuan's face showed a violent look, "Old Wu, you and my own family, and neither do I." I need to hide it from you, do you know that there is a military justice department in our army, the department that Cao Tianci is in charge of?"

"I know, what can that little doll do?"

"You are wrong about this. You will see this little baby more clearly in the future." Gao Yuan said: "On the bright side, the military judge is in charge of the military discipline of an army, but secretly, there is a Tianci subordinate who I personally Even Cao Tiancheng doesn’t know about the existence of the trained secret troops, and you can guess what they do, right?”

Wu Kai was shocked.

"They specialize in doing those shady things. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, you just need to tell me, and I will do the rest. I will make these people who don't open their eyes disappear completely in the blink of an eye. Gao Yuan sneered and said, "The dead cannot embarrass you."

Wu Kai fell silent, picked up the wine glass, took a sip slowly, raised his head, looked at Gao Yuan, and said earnestly: "Gao Yuan, have you noticed that since Ye Jing'er left, you have changed in this period of time. A lot? If you put it in the past, in a situation like this, you would use another method to solve it, instead of the most direct and bloody way you come up with without even thinking about it like you are now. It may be the most direct way, but it is by no means the best way."

Hearing Wu Kai mentioning Ye Jinger, Gao Yuan was silent for a moment: "Old Wu, people are good at being bullied, and Ma Shan is being ridden by others. To friends, I will not change. I am still the same Gao Yuan as before, but to enemies, I will never change." will scare them."

"Although some people are not friends, they are not enough to become enemies!" Wu Kai shook his head.

"I don't have the time and patience to fight for them," Gao Yuan smiled. "Old Wu, you just need to remember that no matter where your caravan is in trouble, I will be your strongest backing. If you don't accept it, come here." try!"

"In the production of perfume, I will only let the most direct descendants of the Wu family participate, and then only sell it in the Xianyun Building. I will not even let the shopkeeper of the Xianyun Building know about the source of the goods. It is possible to get all the channels to get the news, try not to let people know that this thing comes from us!" Wu Kai said slowly: "I will try not to use your power."

"If that's the case, of course it's the best!" Gao Yuan said with a smile, "If you make money and have no troubles, that person won't like it, but Lao Wu, this is your business. After you make this thing, Don't forget to make me a bottle of plum blossom fragrance, remember, Old Wu, you want the best one."

"To Ye Jing'er?" Wu Kai asked.

Gao Yuan remained silent.

Wu Kai let out a long sigh.

The room fell silent, leaving only the crackling sound of burning coals. Gao Yuan's attachment to Ye Jing'er made Wu Kai a little unbelievable, but in fact, it was precisely because of Gao Yuan's attachment that Wu Kai could rest assured of him. , a person who values ​​affection will not be a bad person, this is Wu Kai's most simple cognition.

Wu Kai may be worried about Lu Hong, Zhang Shouyue and his son, but he has never worried about what Gao Yuan will do to him. This is a real man who values ​​loyalty and affection.

It is also because of this that Wu Kai couldn't say what he wanted to persuade Gao Yuan to give up Ye Jing'er.

The crisp knock on the door woke up the two people in the room. "County Captain, I am Yan Haibo."

"Little Yanzi, come in, it's late, what's the matter? Are you on duty today?" Gao Yuan raised his head and said.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and Yan Haibo appeared at the door, "County Captain, General Lu is here, he has already arrived at the gate, and he is coming this way now, I will report back first."

"Uncle Lu?"

"old road?"

Both people in the room stood up in surprise, "The New Year is coming soon, why did the old road come here? Why didn't there be any letter before the event? What happened?" Wu Kai asked in surprise.

"I don't know. It was the sentinel at Yuanmen who came to report to me. He said that General Lu looked very embarrassed and extremely tired."

The two looked at each other. Something must have happened to Lu Hong running over overnight like this. The two stopped talking and went out one after the other. As soon as they went out, they saw Lu Hong and his personal soldiers riding their horses along the way. ran over.

"Uncle!" Gao Yuan yelled and went up to meet him, held the rein for Lu Hong, and stretched out his hand to help Lu Hong down.

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Lu Hong's legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground, "Damn it, it's too cold this time, and his legs and feet are numb." Lu Hong straightened up, looked at Gao Yuan, and said .

"In this kind of weather, if you drive all night, can you not be cold and tired?" Wu Kai shook his head and smiled, "Fortunately, the weather has turned warm these days. If you had traveled all night like this a few days ago, you would have been frozen to death." No, it’s the Chinese New Year, why don’t you celebrate the New Year with your old sister-in-law in Liaoxi City, and rush to Fufeng to do something? Could it be that you are not used to it in Liaoxi, and you are thinking of old friends, and you chased them all the way? I didn’t prepare for you to celebrate the New Year thing."

Hearing Wu Kai's teasing, Lu Hong rarely responded, and with an invisible smile on his face, he waved his hand and said to Yan Haibo: "Little Yanzi, you arrange a place for my soldiers, and you go too." Rest, tonight, I'm here at Gaoyuan. I have something to say to him."

"Yes, General Lu!" Yan Haibo bowed to Lu Hong, glanced at Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan waved his hand, and motioned him to go down. Looking at Lu Hong's voice, Gao Yuan knew that something serious must have happened.

"Uncle, let's go into the room. The wine is warming up in the room. You can drink a few glasses first to warm yourself up." Although I don't know what is the matter of Lu Hong rushing so fast, but just looking at his expression, I know it is definitely not good thing.

The charcoal fire in the house was burning faintly. With the help of the bright light of the pine oil torch, Gao Yuan finished reading the official document from Jicheng, and handed the official document to Wu Kai who was beside him. Looking at Lu Hong who was drinking one glass after another, He smiled and said: "It's really intentional, unexpectedly, I specifically called out my name, I think I am quite famous in Jicheng now."

"It's really unreasonable!" Wu Kai slapped the table, "Ye Tiannan is too deceitful, treating Gao Yuan as if we are all fools? Such an obvious trap, Gao Yuan knew it was a trap, and would jump into it with his eyes open?"

Gao Yuan looked at Lu Hong, but remained silent. Lu Hong sighed, and took out another letter from his bosom, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, and Ye Tiannan also knew I couldn't hide it from you, so here's another letter." A bait."
