Chapter 322 Incense Repels Insects, a Pleasant Thing for Soldiers and Civilians
Wang Shuang nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's true."
Every summer night, not only ordinary people, but even those in mansions would burn some mugwort.
But ultimately, not only were they completely eradicated, but some insects still managed to escape and frequently disturbed my peaceful sleep.
Daya replied, "That's right, but my incense can solve this problem, and it's even more durable than mugwort."
Not only does it keep insects away from biting you, but the scent of the incense will also kill those flying insects.
Moreover, it not only repels mosquitoes, but the fragrance it emits when burned can also calm the nerves.
It can help students who are studying hard at night to calm down and not be disturbed by the heat and the chirping of insects.
A hint of surprise flashed across Wang's eyes, and his fingertips unconsciously tapped lightly on the table, clearly pondering the intricacies of this aromatherapy.
Insect repellent and calming effects—it sounds like a really good business.
This feature is particularly appealing to students who have studied diligently for years, or to families who value a peaceful sleep.
Although Wang Shuang had never seen the aromatherapy product in person.
Hearing that it could help people sleep soundly through the night and also help students who were studying hard to concentrate, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Is it really that good?"
Daya affirmed, "Whether it's good or not, Uncle Shuang will know in the future."
Meanwhile, Li Yizhi, who was standing to the side, could not contain his excitement ever since Da Ya spoke.
At this moment, she couldn't wait to interject and ask, "Niece Yun Jiao, is everything you've said true?"
Upon hearing this, Daya nodded with unwavering confidence.
Li Yizhi's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
He quickly followed up with, "Then, is it possible for our military camp to use this?"
"It can be used naturally, and it is suitable for anyone to use or for any place to use."
As soon as Daya finished speaking, she added, "But when lighting it in the room, be sure to place it in a safe place."
Be very careful not to set fire to the objects nearby.
If it causes a fire, that would be a real problem!
So in the future, when we produce and sell them, we'll have to remind everyone of this!
Li Yizhi nodded repeatedly and then asked, "Is this thing difficult to make? How long does it take to make? How many can be made at once?"
Daya looked at him with some confusion: "Uncle Zhi, what's wrong with you...?"
Wang Shuang also spoke up to persuade him, "Yizhi, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yizhi looked at the two men and explained, "Brother, you don't know this, but if this incense can really drive away those flying insects, the soldiers can sleep soundly and get plenty of rest."
If there is war in the future, their improved morale will naturally give them more drive on the battlefield!
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuang's eyes widened suddenly, and he slammed his hand on the table.
"Yes! If it really has such an effect, the soldiers can get a good night's sleep."
With their spirits high, they naturally had even more energy to fight the enemy!
This is incredibly good news for our army!
He looked at Daya eagerly, his eyes full of expectation.
"Niece Yunjiao, do you have any finished products of this incense right now? Could you bring some over so we can try it out?"
Daya shook her head: "Not yet. Although the process of making this incense is not complicated, each step must be followed step by step."
The sun-drying process alone takes four or five days to gather enough usable material.
Li Yizhi, listening intently, immediately said, "Let's do it! If this incense is really as good as you say, we'll make it no matter how much effort it takes!"
Then, he hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "I just... I wonder if it's difficult to make?"
Daya smiled and explained, "Don't worry, it's not difficult!"
With a few people, each taking on a specific step in the process, and everyone fulfilling their duties, it can be completed quickly.
Wang Shuang immediately approved the decision: "Okay! Then it's settled!"
"If you need anything, just let me know. Manpower and materials will all be arranged by this government. We absolutely cannot delay the progress!"
Daya quickly waved her hand: "No rush, no rush. I'll say it again, once the finished product is out and we make money, the profit sharing will be as I just said."
Uncle Shuang gets 50%, Young Master Yang Yusi gets 40%, and I'll take 10% for providing the formula.
Uncle Shuang, do you think this condition is acceptable?
Wang Shuang said, "No need. As long as you can really make it, I, the city lord, won't take a single penny."
Daya hurriedly interjected, "No, no! This distribution must be done this way!"
"If Uncle Shuang refuses, then I won't give you the recipe!"
When Li Yizhi heard Da Ya say this, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up. Of course, he was not going to agree.
"No, no, no, Brother Wang, you can't disagree!"
How about this: I'll get involved too.
The social status of Yun Jiao's niece and this young master Yang Yusi remains unchanged.
Brother Wang, you take 30%, I'll take 10%, and we'll use the last 10% to buy grain and crops to distribute to those suffering people, how about that!
Before Da Ya arrived, she was unaware that General Li was also present.
So she never included him in the three of them at all in the first place.
Hearing Li Yizhi's allocation of resources, she immediately declared, "Uncle Zhi is truly a good general who cares for the people!"
Uncle Shuang, I think Uncle Gang's proposed allocation is good. What do you think?
Wang Shuang originally wanted to help Daya, but she didn't expect that if she didn't agree, Daya wouldn't give out the formula.
In the end, I had no choice but to compromise: "Then it's settled! But I'll take the same share as Yizhi, just 10%."
Let's put the remaining 20% into disaster relief!
Daya nodded and said, "Since Uncle Shuang has agreed, I will send some over to test the effects after the incense is made in a few days."
If Uncle Shuang thinks there are no problems, we can draw up a contract to finalize this matter.
Wang Shuang responded loudly, "Great! Let's do it that way!"
The four of them made a decision based on their prior agreement.
The next few days.
While Daya and Datou were busy treating the patients who had contracted the plague.
On the one hand, I also have to find time to make those aromatherapy products.
Finally, the first batch of aromatherapy products was completed.
Daya filled a wooden box to the brim and led Yang Yusi to the city lord's mansion.
She took a piece and lit it; as the sparks flickered, the aroma of incense quickly filled the air.
Wisps of smoke rose, carrying a faint, pleasant fragrance of herbs and plants.
In less than half an hour, the buzzing mosquitoes disappeared without a trace.
Wang Shuang stared at the burning incense and said in a puzzled tone, "This fragrance is somewhat like mugwort."
It doesn't produce as much smoke as burning mugwort, and it's not pungent either.
Daya nodded in agreement, "Uncle Shuang is right."
This incense is made primarily from mugwort leaves, supplemented with charcoal, realgar, ash, and acidic fruit juice, resulting in minimal smoke and a mild aroma.
Li Yizhi asked from the side, "Niece Yunjiao, does it take about ten days to make this box of incense?"
Daya shook her head: "No, actually, as long as the process is properly divided and there are enough people, each piece of incense can be made in about five days."
