My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 748: Chapter 753: This is My Daughter-in-law_1

She had just been joking around with Tan Zhenghong, and if this wasn’t musk, the business plan for Duo Meifang would have to change.

That would have had a huge impact.

Tan Zhenghong immediately did as he was told, and two hours later, they were already at Deji Hall.

"This is the musk you’ve been so obsessed with, take a look."

Qiao Duo’er handed the cloth bag to Bai Yifan with a look of disgust.

The smell was something you would never want to experience a second time after the first.

After opening the cloth bag, Bai Yifan was overjoyed, "Duo’er, you’ve come just in time, I was just waiting for musk to make a plaster for Grandmother!"

It wasn’t just the familiar fragrance, but the undigested snake bones in the fragrance pouch that also proved the musk was of extremely high quality.

Because snake venom, once digested by musk deer, has a very high medicinal value and is even more effective for heart disease and healing bruises and injuries.

"You couldn’t have gotten it wrong, could you?" Qiao Duo’er was skeptical.

She couldn’t figure out what the effect would be of adding musk to a plaster; surely it would overwhelm anyone who used it.

Bai Yifan explained, "This thing needs to be dried and then dissolved in water or wine to release a special fragrance, if you smell it directly, all you can detect is the animal’s body odor."

What they had in their hands now was just the most basic form of it.

To become pure musk, it would still need to go through many more processes.

"Well, that’s good." Qiao Duo’er patted her little heart; now she could finally relax.

All winter long, the musk deer had been well fed and looked after; if their production wasn’t musk, she figured she’d cry to death.

"Besides being a medicinal ingredient, musk is also a valuable fragrance. Once I refine the fragrance, you can add it to your scented powders and perfumes, and hike up the price a little more," Bai Yifan said with a chuckle.

It was his first time seeing Qiao Duo’er with such a naively cute expression—it was adorable!

But then he received a warning look from Tan Zhenghong.

Some people were getting too arrogant; they needed a wife with a face as big as a basin and full of pockmarks to put them in line!

Qiao Duo’er shook her head, "Just leave one for me, that’s enough."

This was also a business trick; if you want your business to last, you need to keep introducing new things to maintain vitality.

She was planning to test the waters with a few new varieties in her new store in Mansion City, and once people’s appetites were sufficiently whetted, she’d officially start selling.

The last thing Mansion City was lacking was wealthy people.

Bai Yifan agreed without hesitation, "I’ll keep another one for myself then, this one is of very high quality, I’ll give you ten taels of gold."

"Forget the gold, you need to help me find some reliable people; there are a few more musk deer about to give birth at home, and I’ll need help taking care of them," Qiao Duo’er altered her request, as she seldom picked anyone to her liking at Tooth Row.

Because the good quality servants were always snapped up by the wealthy households first, so she could only rely on Bai Yifan’s help with this matter.

Bai Yifan readily agreed, "I promise to get it done perfectly."

Once he knew the number of musk deer at Duo’er’s house, Bai Yifan suddenly thought of another thing.

"Right, the best way to raise musk deer is to imitate their natural habitat. I have a hill here that was originally intended for cultivating herbs, but the soil isn’t suitable, so it’s been left unused. You can use it for the time being."

That hilltop seemed to have a grudge against him; the grass grew luxuriantly, but no medicinal herbs would take root at all.

So after a few attempts, it was left as is.

"Whether you rent it to me or sell it to me, I can accept it, but I can’t just use it for free," Qiao Duo’er said, half jokingly.

Even as sworn siblings, clear accounts made for good relations.

That was Qiao Duo’er’s attitude, and she treated Chen Yiling the same.
