The perfume is relatively simple. It is autumn now, and there are only a few kinds of flowers such as chrysanthemum and osmanthus. Wang Li collected the petals, crushed them in a mortar, added alcohol, stirred evenly, and dissolved them fully.

Then filter it with gauze to get the perfume. Although it cannot be compared with the perfume of later generations, it is definitely enough to fool the ancients. Pour it into the bottle made by the glass factory.

The bottle is very beautiful, with a threaded mouth, a wooden lid screwed on and then tightened with a copper hoop. There is a glass ball on the lid that can rotate but will not fall off, but the glass ball just blocks the mouth of the bottle, and there is an outer lid on it. You can open the lid and rotate the glass ball in your hand to apply the perfume on your hands, without any waste. This is the masterpiece of the Ji brothers.

The skilled craftsmen of this era gave them good materials and were able to create beautiful works by hand. This bottle is much more beautiful than the perfume bottles of later generations. Wang Li couldn't wait to run to present the treasure to his wife.

"Madam, madam, the perfume is coming out!"

Seeing Wang Li happy, Zheng Yu'e was also happy. She took the perfume bottle handed over by Wang Li, gently shook it, looked at the crystal clear liquid in the bottle, and a happy smile bloomed on her face. She opened the bottle cap and took a deep breath. The faint fragrance filled her nose, making her feel relaxed and happy.

"My husband is so great, and this perfume smells so good!" Zheng Yu'e praised.

Wang Li smiled proudly, knowing that his efforts were not in vain. He told Zheng Yu'e that this perfume was made from autumn chrysanthemum and osmanthus petals, and every drop contained the essence of nature.

Zheng Yu'e couldn't help but want to try the effect of the perfume. She gently applied it on her wrists. The fragrance immediately spread, making her feel extremely happy.

"Husband, this perfume is so great. I want to give it to my sister Baoyan. She will definitely like it." Zheng Yu'e said.

Wang Li said, "There are still some things left. It's up to you how much you want to give her!"

"it is good!"

Wang Li was very happy, knowing that his perfume had been recognized. He decided to teach others how to make perfume, after all, the village chief could not make this kind of thing.

So Wang Li and Zheng Yu'e went to find Xu Guanzhong and Wang Lun together. They planned to hand over the perfume to the logistics department to enrich Liangshan's products. The two were not very interested after hearing this.

Xu Guanzhong felt that nothing was as valuable as glass. Wang Li was speechless. He realized that it was a mistake to talk to these two single guys about perfume.

"Military Advisor, you still don't understand women. If Xiao Yi were here, maybe she would be able to discover its value. I tell you, it would be no problem to sell this perfume for ten strings of cash!"

Wang Lun exclaimed, "What? Ten strings of cash? Is Erlang confused?"

Xu Guanzhong also nodded and said, "The village chief must be crazy about money. Alas, it's hard for him to do this for the village!"

The two still didn't believe it, even though Zheng Yu'e praised them. In their eyes, Zheng Yu'e was even more rude than them.

Wang Li thought, they are ignorant, isn't there a No. 1 head of Tokyo behind? Xu Guanzhong doesn't know the No. 1 head of the line, isn't there a courtesan from Damingfu? And An Daoquan's concubine Li Qiaonu? Thinking of this, Wang Li smiled and said, "You two don't know the goods, let's go to Li Erniang and sister-in-law to ask, and let you be convinced!"

The two were helpless and looked at each other, still not believing it in their hearts. However, they followed Wang Li anyway. There wasn't much to do anyway, so they just accompanied the village chief.

An Daoquan's home was close to here, so he came here first. As soon as he entered the door, Wang Li called out, "Sister-in-law Qiaonu, are you home?"

"I'm coming, uncle, what do you want to call me for?" Soon Li Qiaonu came out, staggering on her three-inch feet.

Wang Li gave him the perfume and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a perfume someone gave me. What do you think? How much is it worth? It is said that only a few drops are needed to make the fragrance last long."

Li Qiaonu took it, looked at it, opened it and smelled it. She knew how to use it without being taught. After applying it, she said happily, "Uncle, this thing is very valuable. This crystal bottle alone is probably worth dozens of coins. It is a hundred times better than the sachet I used before. Here is a little over one or two taels. A hundred coins are not worth the money, and two hundred coins is not an exaggeration!"

Wang Lun became jealous when he heard this. This was even more exaggerated than the ten strings of cash that Wang Li had mentioned. They knew the value of this so-called crystal.

He immediately dragged Wang Li and said, "Erlang, quickly expand production!"

Li Qiaonu didn't know and was a little confused. Zheng Yu'e went over and said, "Sister-in-law, this is for you. Let's go inside and talk. Don't worry about them."

Xu Guanzhong didn't look for anyone else. He and Wang Lun carried Wang Li on both sides and walked towards the laboratory.

When they arrived at the laboratory, Wang Li patiently explained to them the process of making perfume. He told them how to select petals, how to crush them, how to add alcohol, and how to filter them. The two listened carefully and nodded from time to time to show their understanding.

Under Wang Li's guidance, they began to make perfume themselves. According to Wang Li's method, they crushed the petals, added alcohol and stirred evenly, and then filtered it out with gauze. The whole process went very smoothly, and they soon made several bottles of perfume.

The two of them happily ran out with the perfume they made to prepare the workshop. Wang Li didn't care about these things, and the logistics were their responsibility.

From then on, Liangshan had a new source of income. Wang Li arranged Shi Xiu's uncle to the logistics department. Shi Xiu was originally a businessman, and he was very impressed after listening to the business philosophy Wang Li told him.

He is now adept at hunger marketing and brand effects. The limited supply of "Haohan Liquor" was handled by him.

In the next few days, Wang Li planned to make soap, snake oil ointment, and mosquito repellent perfume (floral water).

Soon, partners Hu Cheng and Li Ying were puzzled. What was Liangshan doing? They even wanted petals and shells? However, they still knew the rules of businessmen. They didn't ask questions that they shouldn't ask. Even if customers wanted to use the money to fill the Liangshan Lake, it was none of their business. Liangshan would just let them buy it. What's the problem?

-----

At the same time, Yang Lin and Shi Xiu also arrived in Gaotang Prefecture. Seeing that it was getting late, they planned to rest for a night and set off for Wugang Town another day.

Yang Lin was an old hand and knew that roadside shops were generally not safe, so he would not stay there. The two walked for another half an hour, and when it was already dark, they finally found a village.

Yang Lin said, "Come on, Brother Shi Xiu, let's go find some lodging!"

"it is good!"

I walked to a house that looked relatively wealthy and knocked on the door.

In those days, being able to turn on the lights late at night meant that one was relatively wealthy. Poor families would have turned off the lights long ago, or they would chat in the yard under the moonlight. They did not have any extra guest rooms.

"Bang-bang-bang, is anyone home?"

Soon a skinny little girl came out. She was about ten years old. She was not afraid of the two men carrying knives. She said, "Who are you looking for?"

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Little girl, where is your parents? We are passing by here and would like to stay for one night. Is that possible?"

Perhaps the little girl was scared, so she didn't answer, but closed the door and ran home.

The two of them had no choice, so Shi Xiu said, "Brother Yang Lin, forget it, let's go!"

Yang Lin also shook his head to express his helplessness, and then went to look for other families, but the lights were all off in their houses. There was a landlord's house farther away with the lights on, but they didn't know whether the landlord was a good person or not, and they didn't want to go there.

Yang Lin said: "Since it is a village, there should be a temple. We came from the east, and there was no temple when we came here. There must be a mountain god temple or a goddess temple in the west. Let's go there to spend the night!"

Then, the two of them walked west along the road in the dark, but they didn't know that as soon as they left, a figure followed them from behind, quietly and without the two of them noticing at all.

Yang Lin is indeed an old hand. After leaving the village, they soon found a temple not far away. The door of the temple was closed. They approached and pushed it open. There was no one guarding the temple, but it was very clean.

Arriving at the central hall, the two men took out their tinders and looked at them. Shi Xiu then went out to look for firewood. Fortunately, the autumn harvest had just ended, and Shi Xiu had brought back some wheat stubble from the fields outside.

Before leaving, he threw down a few copper coins as materials. Firewood was hard to find in those days, and the common people came to him to sell it for money. After harvesting the wheat, the roots could be dug out and dried to be used as firewood.

This scene was also seen by the figure who followed them. Shi Xiu came back, and the two of them lit a bonfire in the middle of the hall, took out dry food and wine gourds, and ate while chatting.

Yang Lin took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Shi Xiu, is the "Hero Wine" on our mountain always available to brothers?

"How is that possible? There is a logistics department on the mountain, and also in our Liangshan hotel. Wine can be exchanged with points there, 10 points for one liter of wine. Food in the hotel can also be exchanged with points.

"What are points?"

"Brothers, you will get a fixed number of points per day. Leaders will get double points, leaders at the regiment level will get double points again, and leaders at the division level will get double points again. It's similar to how we divide gold and silver. Of course, if you have military merits, you will also get points as rewards."

"Don't we have military pay? And we are still referring to the military pay of the Imperial City's Imperial Guards. The points alone are equivalent to one hundred coins a day."

"Military pay is military pay. The village chief brother said, "Hero wine is produced in Liangshan. This is how we supply the brothers. Of course, you can also use points to directly convert it into money, but one point is only fifty coins."

"Why?"

Shi Xiu was about to answer, but Yang Lin suddenly interrupted him and shouted, "Friend on the beam, come down!"
