Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Chengyan laughed more these days than he had in years, and his little dimples reappeared.

"She can't bear to see me suffer while you enjoy the good life! I told you to eat in the side room but you chose to eat with me. I can't bear to see you getting angry right now, but I have the girl to avenge me!"

Liu Yunqing went back and showed his face in front of his mother, ate a few bites of food and went back to his room.

Today, she not only made loquat candy for Mr. Zhao, but also washed, crushed, pressed and filtered the olives to get olive oil.

Due to insufficient tools, even if she used a frame of olives, she would not be able to squeeze out much oil. However, two small jars were enough for her to make incense.

This is her new idea.

In addition to wearing flowers, it is even more popular to use perfume nowadays.

Take Mr. Zhao for example. There is always the burning of incense in his room for twelve hours a day.

Zhao Chengyan doesn't like strong scents. He only occasionally uses sandalwood to calm his mind. The rest of the time he uses light pine or orchid scents.

These incenses are not only used for smelling, but also for telling time, and are called seal incense or hundred-carve incense.

In addition, incense is used at night and in cold weather to ward off the cold and keep warm. Incense is also used on rainy days in autumn. On rainy days in summer and on hot days, incense is used to cool off.

In short, there are many things to pay attention to.

But no matter what it is, there is no scented paper at the moment.

The reason for this is that the current method of making incense is mostly to grind and roast the spices to make incense tablets, incense pills or incense sticks, which naturally cannot be mixed into paper.

But if it could be made into a liquid form such as perfume or essential oil, I think we could add a process to papermaking so that the produced paper would have its own fragrance.

Liu Yunqing just has this idea, but it is still unknown whether it can be realized.

This method came from when he was working with a young star and his agent took over an advertising promotion for an ancient perfume for him.

The founder is a young girl. During the cooperation, she had a good relationship with people. I briefly heard her introduce the origin and production methods of ancient perfume.

There are several methods, and if you want to extend the fragrance retention time of paper, in addition to the choice of fragrance, the method of extracting the fragrance is the key.

Olive oil is an indispensable part of this.

The second is to add a certain amount of fixative, which can delay the volatilization of perfume and make the fragrance more stable and lasting.

Liu Yunqing was not an expert at making incense, nor did she have any of the professional tools used in later generations. Fortunately, her family ran a bookshop, and making incense was a skill that had been passed down through several dynasties, so it was naturally recorded in books.

Xiaoman has been to the old bookstore several times. In addition to calling a few masters to serve the new store, in line with the principle of not leaving empty-handed, he also asked people to move away a few boxes of old books.

Since they had nowhere to put them, they placed the boxes in Liu Yunqing's room in the inn.

Liu Yunqing flipped through an old book and found it, which recorded the "fixatives" commonly used nowadays.

Animal fragrances such as musk, civet and ambergris can not only make the fragrance last longer, but also make different fragrances softer and more rounded. However, they are slightly more expensive and difficult to obtain.

Patchouli, sandalwood, iris, styrax, etc. can be bought in general pharmacies.

Although A Niang was not an expert at using incense, she loved to use it. Our family used incense balls made by her from sandalwood and orange peel. We had to ask A Niang for help in this matter.

There are still a lot of impurities in the cold-pressed olive oil she made today. She has to filter it carefully today and tomorrow, and then adjust the proportions and purify it using a simple extraction method.

Liu Yunqing didn't expect to become a big fat man in one bite. Making incense was just the first step. Whether the fragrance could remain on the paper was the key.

So she thought about making sandalwood first. If she couldn't even make the simplest sandalwood, then she should give up the idea as soon as possible and find something else as a gift for Mr. Zhao. She shouldn't think about showing off at the Apricot Blossom Poetry Conference anymore.

Because of this, Liu Yunqing did not go to the bookstore the next day. With Yunxi and Xiaoman in the bookstore, she was not worried and just concentrated on making incense with A Niang.

In addition to this method, Liu Yunqing also picked out fragrant orange peels and made some essential oils using the cold-pressing method.

Qi knew how to make rose water for women's skin care. Since it was used to create fragrance, she thought it could be used as well.

Qi went to the street to buy flowers, and used a small slanted-mouthed pot to steam and boil water. It took a basket of flowers to make a small jar of "perfume", which was a very expensive operation.

There was still sandalwood to be brewed, so Liu Yunqing didn't waste any time after getting the two kinds of incense and ran non-stop to the paper mill on the outskirts of the city.

When they arrived at the Ning's Paper Mill by donkey cart, Liu Yunqing gave the person five cents and ran into the mill holding the perfume.

"Where is your boss?"

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when he saw that it was the young master of Liu's Bookstore, he hurried forward to greet him.

"What brings Madam Liu here? Our boss will be here to settle the accounts soon. Please go to the back with me to have some drinks first. I'm afraid you might be bumped into by the crowds in front."

Liu Yunqing was familiar with the place, so there was no need to entertain her and she went to sit in the room in the backyard.

After chatting for a while, Liu Yunqing did not tell the manager everything and just waited for his boss to come.

The manager was also a shrewd man. When he saw Madam Liu acting like this, he knew that she must have discussed some big business with her boss, so he quickly sent his servant over to call for help.

Liu Yunqing only waited for about quarter of an hour, and before he saw anyone, he heard laughter.

"Sister Yunqing, I've kept you waiting for so long! I just wanted to hide for a while today, but you caught me right in the act!"

Liu Yunqing also smiled and stood up to greet people at the door.

A petite girl in a pink pleated skirt came over and held Liu Yunqing's hand intimately.

She has a round face and round eyes, long eyebrows, three white makeup, and a beautiful cluster of flowers in her hair. She looks lively and beautiful.

If Liu Yunqing, who goes out with a plain face all day long, is like a pear blossom orchid, then Ning Shiyin is the strong-flavored peony.

She is four years older than Liu Yunqing. She got married the year before last and now has a half-year-old child who looks like a naive and lively girl.

"I'm relieved to see you recover so well. When I went to your house to see you earlier, you looked haggard, and so did Aunt Qi. I was extremely worried."

"I've only been seeing you for two days, and word has spread that you woke up and sued your father's mistress. If it weren't for the fact that I was settling accounts these days, I would have rushed to see you before you did."

Liu Yunqing and Ning Shiyin are very close. Although there are many women doing business these days, there are not many women like them who are in charge of a business.

Ning Shiyin's ability to inherit the family business was different from that of Liu Yunqing. Her father beat her when she was twelve and died of illness, leaving her with no other children.

The old guys in the neighborhood bullied them, an orphan and a widow, and they went on a collective strike to demand a wage increase. Don't be fooled by Ning Shiyin's small stature and the look that makes her look easy to bully, she is very powerful.

He simply suppressed one group and promoted another, and the guys fell apart. Only then did Ning Shiyin completely control the paper mill.

She has been doing this for many years, and now she has opened three paper mills. Thirty to four out of ten bookshops in Bianjing City are her customers.
