Winds of Change in the Quiet Town Chapter 49

The next day, Blake Tang had breakfast with his mother. His mother mentioned what Mrs. Lu had said. Blake Tang realized that she might not be able to keep the secret of her scented soap anymore. The news had spread to Kyoto. She believed that anyone who was interested would know that this thing came from Longxi Prefecture.

I don’t know if Mr. Xia from last time is interested in this. Now Xia Yue is the best partner she can think of, but I don’t know if she values   the money.

Blake Tang planned to make a few hardcover editions, add essential oils to make them more moisturizing, and send them to Mr. Xia to discuss cooperation. If she waited for other people to react, she, who was at the bottom of the food chain, would be at the mercy of others.

It is already February, and the plum blossoms and camellia flowers should have bloomed. I called the servant and asked him to buy some fresh flowers.

Blake Tang began to study how to extract essential oils and make something that could be used for distillation. A pot would do. It was a barrel-shaped pot for boiling water at the bottom, with an iron lid on top for cold water. An inverted iron sheet was connected to a pipe to collect the condensed essential oils.
