Chapter 283 What a coincidence

As they were talking, another cart of roses arrived. The roses were ready in no time, and Duan Minmin asked A Cheng to take the driver with her.

Ah Cheng and the coachman were indeed quite interested, so they caught up with the carriage and followed behind that car.

After seeing Ah Cheng off, Duan Minmin went back to the kitchen to watch the fire and to study the matter of canning the pure dew.

While I was fiddling with the bottle, Zheng Yuan walked in, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Amin, why did I just hear you telling someone that you wanted to go to Rose Valley?" The voice was also hoarse.

"Acheng brought the glass bottle over, come and take a look!" Duan Minmin pulled Zheng Yuan over to show her.

As soon as he heard the word glass bottle, Zheng Yuan woke up from his sleepiness. This was delivered at the right time.

"Now that the bottles have been delivered, we have to find someone to make the stoppers quickly, otherwise it will be too late. Oh, and the logo on the bottle, I forgot about it these past two days because I was so busy."

"That's right. I was just thinking about this. Now that we have decided on the logo, we are also faced with the problem of how to print it. Glass bottles are not like ceramics. It would be difficult to print them without the help of high technology." Duan Minmin analyzed with a frown.

The two thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, let's make the corks first, and then we can do it one by one. Go wash up first. Sister Luo and the others left some porridge for you, and they brought some pickles this morning. They are quite delicious." Duan Minmin pushed Zheng Yuan to wash up.

Zheng Yuan obediently took the basin, poured some freshly brewed hydrosol into it, and walked out. Today he was going to be extravagant.

The sun is out a little now and it's not so cold anymore.

Seeing her come out, Mrs. Luo and others who were busy greeted her one by one, and Zheng Yuan also responded with a smile.

As for Mr. Yuan, he just sat beside his table like a tree stump, as if he could neither hear nor see anything.

Zheng Yuan also knew what this person was thinking and ignored him.

After washing up, Zheng Yuan returned to the kitchen, scooped a bowl of porridge, and while eating, he went to Duan Minmin to discuss the matter of the bottle cork.

First of all, the bottle stopper must be made of odorless wood, otherwise it will definitely affect the taste of the hydrosol. And it can't be made of hardwood, otherwise it won't fit if there is a slight mistake.

Both of them remembered that the corks on red wine bottles in later generations seemed to be squeezed from oak powder, but the origin of oak seemed to be mainly distributed in North America, and oak should not be found in this era.

Moreover, the extrusion process is unlikely to be realized in this era, so we can only look for trees with a texture similar to oak.

The two of them really didn't know much about the materials of various trees. If Carpenter Li were here, he might be able to give some suggestions.

After thinking about it for a long time, they still couldn't come up with an answer. It just so happened that these bottles needed a shelf to put them on, so the two of them decided to let Zheng Yuan go find Manager Fang and ask him to help find a carpenter to build the shelf.

In this way, the two of them can also ask about the properties of the wood, and then let Mrs. Luo go find someone after deciding.

Zheng Yuan did what he said and ran out immediately.

When we arrived at Jiang's store, only Manager Fang was in the store. He was still registering a customer, and it sounded like the customer was here to order rose-scented toothpaste.

Zheng Yuan did not go forward but stood quietly outside the door, waiting for Manager Fang to finish his work.

After registering the guests, Manager Fang saw them out the door before he saw Zheng Yuan.

"Why is Madam Zheng here? Did the guy from Yongding deliver the stuff? The store was a bit busy in the morning, so I didn't go with them." Manager Fang explained.

"It has been delivered. I'm here to trouble Manager Fang with something else. We want to build a shelf to put things on, so I wanted to ask Manager Fang if he knows a carpenter who can introduce him to us." Zheng Yuan was not polite.

"It's not a big deal. It's what I should do. You need a carpenter? Madam Zheng, let me think about it."

"Shunzi! Shunzi!" Manager Fang thought for a while, then looked up and shouted inside.

"Hey! Boss, I'll be down right away." Shunzi's voice came from the second floor.

"Shunzi and the others are packing up on the second floor. There will be a lot of things left in the future, so we thought of following the two ladies' advice and cleaning up the second floor. When the goods arrive, we can just put them upstairs," Manager Fang explained.

"I have just been in Zhaoming for a short time, so I don't know where to find a carpenter."

Zheng Yuan nodded without commenting.

"Boss, Mrs. Zheng." Shunzi came down from upstairs, dusting off the dust on his body.

"Shunzi, is there any carpenter in your Zhaoming City who has decent skills?" Manager Fang asked Shunzi.

"Carpenter?" Shunzi raised his head and glanced at the two of them. "Manager Fang, my father is a carpenter."

Shunzi scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"My father has been a carpenter all his life. Although he has not achieved much, his skills are still decent. Neighbors will ask him for help when they need to make something."

"If you don't mind, I'll let my dad give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll go back and ask my dad."

What a coincidence.

Having been a carpenter for a lifetime, there should be no problem with wooden shelves, and I should have a thorough understanding of wood.

Manager Fang looked at Zheng Yuan, waiting for her to make a decision. Shunzi also looked at Zheng Yuan nervously.

"That's great, it saves us from having to go around looking for it. Shunzi, go ask your father to come over and help us build a shelf, but he has to prepare the materials."

Hearing Zheng Yuan's agreement, Shunzi became visibly excited. Who would complain about their family earning too much money? Moreover, he had heard that these two ladies were very generous.

"Okay! Then I'll go find my dad right now and make sure I don't delay your business." Shunzi turned around and ran.

"Manager Fang, I'll go back now. I'm always bothering you." Zheng Yuan bowed to Manager Fang.

"Mrs. Zheng, you are too polite. It's just a few words. Please take care. If you have anything, just come to me." Manager Fang sent Zheng Yuan out.

When Zheng Yuan got home, two more truckloads of roses had arrived, and the scent of roses in the entire yard became stronger.

Seeing Zheng Yuan, Duan Minmin waved and motioned her to come over.

"Yuanbao, why did you come back so soon? But you didn't find the right person."

"No, I tell you what a coincidence, Shunzi's father is a carpenter. I heard that he has been a carpenter all his life, so I thought it was a perfect opportunity so I asked him to come over." Zheng Yuan explained.

"What a coincidence?" Duan Minmin was also surprised.

Zheng Yuan nodded: "It's just such a coincidence."

"That's great, it saves a lot of trouble. I think Shunzi is a very down-to-earth kid, and his father should be a good guy too. Yuanbao, go in and take a look at the fire first. I came out just as they brought the pot over, and then these two cars came later, so I didn't have time to go in and take a look."

Zheng Yuan turned around and saw that the two iron pots had indeed been installed. Now he could start working on the five stoves at the same time.

Zheng Yuan went into the kitchen and started a fire. There was nothing unusual. It was almost noon, so it was time to cook.

Since the stove outside was already usable, Zheng Yuan simply moved everything out and planned to cook outside.

There are too many things in the kitchen and I can't fit them all in. I'm also afraid that the fumes will affect the taste of the rose water.

It's so open outside, so it won't have much of an impact if it's just a short cooking time.

Zheng Yuan counted the number of people today with his fingers and scooped four full bowls of rice to cook. There were seven of them originally, plus Ah Cheng and the driver, Shunzi and his father, there were eleven in total.

As for Manager Fang, since Shunzi had come, it would be a good idea not to call him. They had troubled him a lot these days, so they should invite him to have a meal.
