Chapter 282 The Glass Bottle Arrives

When the four women had work to do, they rushed to the kitchen, fearing that they would not be able to get the work.

While they were busy, Duan Minmin went to deal with some important life issues.

This yard must have been uninhabited for some time, but the toilet was very clean. There were no strawberry towers or high protein. Duan Minmin felt very comfortable using it.

After finishing the important matter in life, they returned to the front yard and found that they had already lit a fire.

Before the rice was cooked, Duan Minmin scooped out a basin of water and started to wash.

I was brushing my teeth when there was a knock on the door.

Duan Minmin quickly rinsed her mouth, wiped her hands and ran to open the door.

It turned out that the firewood had arrived.

The couple, along with their two half-grown children, each carried a load on their backs.

Duan Minmin quickly opened the door to let them in, and instructed them to put them in the woodshed.

There was no way to control the noise of putting firewood, so Duan Minmin could only pray that Zheng Yuan slept soundly enough.

It was raining firewood, and the first load of roses arrived.

Duan Minmin hurried to unload and weigh the goods.

Mr. Yuan also came, but his attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he greeted Duan Minmin with a smile, but he no longer had that superior attitude as he did yesterday, and instead seemed to be deliberately avoiding Duan Minmin.

Duan Minmin had no time to take care of his fragile self-esteem. After weighing the weight, she hurried to watch them put down the firewood.

After unloading these four loads, they said they had eight more loads at home and carried the racks away again.

Duan Minmin checked the firewood and felt relieved when she saw that it was all dry and durable.

After this busy period, the porridge is ready.

They put the porridge and pickles on the table and called Duan Minmin, and the four of them rolled up their sleeves and wanted to wash the roses.

"Hey, where are you going? Come here and have breakfast first."

Duan Minmin had just sat down and took a bite when she was startled by the actions of several people.

"Madam, you eat first. I have reserved some for Madam Zheng and placed them on the stove. We are not hungry, so wash the roses first and then eat them." Mrs. Luo started to fetch water without even turning her head.

No matter how Duan Minmin asked them, they insisted on washing the cart of roses. Duan Minmin had no choice but to let them do it.

Looking up, Mr. Yuan was also standing far away, and Duan Minmin also called out out of politeness.

"Mr. Yuan, come and have breakfast with us."

"No, I've already eaten at home." Mr. Yuan forced a smile.

Since that's what she said, Duan Minmin didn't hesitate to pick up the bowl and put the food into her mouth.

The porridge was not very thick, probably because Luo's wife and her husband were used to being frugal and didn't want to put more. But the pickled vegetables were quite good, and Duan Minmin drank two large bowls of them.

While they were having a bowl of porridge, a cart of roses had been washed and dried. Duan Minmin asked them to hurry up and have breakfast, and she went to the room to check on Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan slept very well. Although there was a lot of noise outside, she slept soundly inside. It seemed that she was very tired last night. Duan Minmin tucked the quilt corner for her with concern and went out quietly.

The family that delivered firewood brought another four loads of firewood, and Duan Minmin went to take a look as usual.

In just a short while, the second truckload of roses arrived.

The speed is obviously much faster than yesterday. I wonder if Mr. Liu has added more people.

Seeing Rose coming over again, the four sisters-in-law no longer cared about eating breakfast. They shoveled the bowl in their hands into their mouths almost as fast as pouring it, and then started washing it again.

There was still half a bowl of porridge left on the table.

Since there was no way to persuade them, Duan Minmin simply gave up and let them get busy. At worst, they could just eat something when they got hungry later.

The weather today was indeed a bit cloudy, and it seemed that she couldn't wait for the roses to dry completely, so Duan Minmin found a curtain of slightly drier roses, carried them in and started distilling.

Soon the scent of roses wafted from the kitchen again.

The remaining four loads of firewood were also delivered. Duan Minmin paid and the family left with many thanks. They had to go back quickly to prepare firewood for tomorrow, as there were not many buyers who were so straightforward and had such a large demand.

The firewood shed was piled high with firewood, and Duan Minmin felt a lot more at ease.

Roses were being delivered to the yard in cartloads, and four people were barely able to cope with the washing.

A truckload of roses has just been unloaded here.

"Tap, tap..." The sound of horse hooves came from outside the door again.

Another car arrived, and Duan Minmin stopped as she was about to go to the kitchen to check the fire.

The carriage drove straight into the yard, and the driver jumped off but was in no hurry to unload the cargo.

Duan Minmin walked over curiously.

"Manager Duan!" The car curtain was pulled open from the inside and Ah Cheng came out.

"Acheng! Why is it you?" Duan Minmin was very surprised.

It's really exciting to meet an acquaintance in a foreign country.

"Manager Duan, Manager Ji asked me to send a batch of glass bottles to you first." Ah Cheng pointed to the carriage behind him.

Duan Minmin then noticed that there was a carriage following behind, and she thought it was the glass bottle.

Yesterday he said that if the first batch of pure water was not delivered, it would be wasted. Unexpectedly, Aji arrived so promptly.

"That's great. You must have had a hard time coming here. Did you have breakfast?"

"It's not hard, Manager Duan." Ah Cheng scratched his head embarrassedly, "We've already had breakfast. We arrived early and went straight to the shop. Manager Fang took us to eat."

"That's good. How many bottles did you bring this time?" Duan Minmin walked to the side of the carriage.

"We brought 5,000 this time. Liulichang is still speeding up the production. Manager Li asked me to send a batch over first. Manager Duan, do you think they meet your requirements?" Ah Cheng and the driver carried a box down.

Duan Minmin opened the box, picked up a bottle and looked at it carefully.

The bottle is not particularly transparent, but it does have a frosted feel, which makes it surprisingly more suitable for storing hydrosols.

"That's right, just make it according to this from now on." Duan Minmin put down the bottle.

"Okay, then I'll take the things down first. Manager Duan, where do you think it would be best to pile them?"

"Just put it in the kitchen so we can use it conveniently." Duan Minmin pointed to the kitchen.

Aji nodded and started moving the boxes with the driver. The boxes were full of glass bottles and were quite heavy, so it took two people to move them together.

Duan Minmin followed to the kitchen to help them make room.

A total of ten boxes filled up a corner of the kitchen. Duan Minmin was thankful that Manager Fang had found them a house with a big yard and a big kitchen, otherwise it would have been difficult to get around.

After moving the boxes, Aji and the driver sat down in the yard to take a break. Then they carefully looked at the rose petals piled in the yard. They were amazed. In their entire life, they had never seen a scene of rose petals covering the ground.

"Manager Duan, are there really a thousand acres of rose fields here?" Aji couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it is! It's spectacular. The whole mountain is covered with roses. It's so beautiful, like a fairyland. What do you think? Do you want to go and take a look?" Duan Minmin asked.

"No, no, Manager Ji asked me to come here for serious business. I can't run around." Ah Cheng waved his hands repeatedly.

"How many days will you be here?"

"Manager Ji told me to wait here for a few days. If the two managers have finished their stuff, let me ship a batch back first."

"That's fine. You're not leaving right away, so why shouldn't you see it? You're just sitting here doing nothing anyway. When the Rose Valley sends some roses over, you can go and see them."

"They have started picking roses in large quantities since yesterday. If you don't go you won't be able to see them, and then you'll regret the trip." Duan Minmin and A Cheng recommended the Rose Valley.

"But I'm here to help you..."

"There are so many of us here, we don't need your help. Go and have a look, and we'll eat when you come back."
