Chapter 5 Make Money with Essential Oils

Selena has used osmanthus and smoked a lot of unsold handkerchiefs and purses in the past few days. She also put the handkerchiefs and purses in wooden boxes, and put a few bunches of dried osmanthus in the box to preserve the fragrance, and then let Jose took it to sell, and it turned out to be very popular. 

After all, how can women in ordinary families afford perfume, even the ordinary price is not cheap.

Women are born with a love for fragrance, but cannot afford good perfume. 

Now those handkerchiefs and purses are scented with fragrance. If you put it in your sleeve, you will carry a floral fragrance with you wherever you go, which is stronger than ordinary essential oils. It smells good, and more importantly, the price is very cheap, half cheaper than the smoked ones in the store. 

At that time, many young girls and women gathered around, and they were all choosing from the wooden box with bright eyes. As soon as they got the aroma, they can't bear to let it go.

Jose has a good temper. Even if a lot of people are chirping and asking about this and that, he will tell them patiently one by one. Even if he doesn't buy after asking, he will not show impatience. There were a dozen handkerchiefs and six or seven fabric wallets in the box, and they were all sold out in one morning. Even the two bunches of dried osmanthus flowers that Selena had placed for incense handkerchiefs were sold.

At noon, Jose specially bought a large bag of pine nut candy, keeping half to sell and the other to give to his daughter as snacks. This time, according to Selena's suggestion, the scented handkerchief and fabric wallet were sold with an extra copper coin each. I made more than forty copper coins from selling handkerchiefs and wallets in one morning. Adding in some needlework and other daily necessities, the profit was sixty or seventy copper coins, which was quite a harvest.

Selena only ate a small piece of the pine nut candy that Jose brought back, and kept the rest for Jose to sell for money. It was not that she was reluctant to eat it, but it was okay to eat a piece of it occasionally to satisfy her cravings, but eating too much would hurt her teeth. 

No, if you want to keep white teeth, in addition to daily maintenance, you also need to eat less hard objects to avoid wear and tear. Just like the lady in the metropolis who never eats hard objects, she should try her best even if she eats a little sweet, rinsing her mouth with water.

Although they earned some copper coins from handkerchiefs and fabric wallets, these things cannot bring high-profit returns. If they want to make money, they still need to make more essential oils with floral fragrance. 

On the one hand, the preparation of essential oils is simple and the price is relatively affordable. , and secondly, because essential oils are consumed faster. After all, women have long hair, and a small bottle of hair care essential oils is used up in only half a month to a month. Selling it regularly in the future can be considered a relatively stable income.

Selena asked Jose to buy back a jar of tea seed oil and a jar of olive oil early. The price of tea seed oil is only half of that of olive oil. It is cheap. Once the essential oil is made, it can be sold to women from farmers, some ordinary people, and prostitutes, the essential oil made from olive oil is naturally sold to ladies from wealthy families, so the price will be higher.

The family doesn't have much money to buy those exquisite glass bottles, so they have to ask Jose to wholesale some ordinary transparent glass bottles. When filling the essential oils, they add some flowers corresponding to the floral fragrance. Although it is simple, it has a natural feel.

Selena is extremely confident in the things she makes. As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. In the first few days, Jose tried her best to tell the buyers about the various benefits of his essential oil as Selena said, but the buyers There were not many, but after a few days, someone took the initiative to ask. 

After all, the women who bought it before would put some on it, and after using it for a few days, they would find that the hair was nourished by the essential oil, which had some effect. Women always gather together and talk about their skin care and hair care secrets. 

Such cheap, easy-to-use and good-smelling essential oils are naturally spread from ten to ten. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is true that the sales of osmanthus essential oil and jasmine essential oil are very high in the next few days.

With the increase in income, the meals at home have also begun to change. Selena can now eat an egg fried for her by Maria every day. She can even have a bowl of fragrant oatmeal porridge every two days, with various types of vegetables. 

There are also more. From time to time, Jose will buy some tofu, fish and a small strip of meat to improve the food at home. Selena was a little malnourished before, her face looked a little sallow, and she had a small face as big as a palm, now she has some flesh on her face too.

The conditions are a little better, she naturally doesn't treat herself harshly. She eats more and more varied meals every time. People say that long-term illness can cure a disease. She also suffered a lot in her previous life. 

Naturally, she knows how to take care of her body. She followed Jose to pick some wild things from the mountain. Such as dried roses and brewed into tea can not only make your breath fragrant, but also nourish your body.

The mixture of jasmine flowers and olive oil at the bottom was collected by Selena in jars. It was enough to moisturize the face and body for a period of time. To Selena's happiness, she used it Within a month, the unhealthy sallowness on her face finally faded away. Her entire face was as bright as dew-covered petals, and her hair gradually became shiny. 

She could feel it just by touching it with her hands, Such as good silk satin is generally smooth, because I have eaten well recently, slept well, and my face has become rounder. Looking at herself in the mirror, although she is still young and a bit childish, her blond hair, fair skin, rippling eyes, red lips and white teeth have begun to show her beauty.

Selena pursed her lips slightly in front of the mirror, feeling very satisfied with her results over the past month. Of course, it would be better if she could change to a clearer mirror. She used a cloth tie to tie up her long, slightly loose hair.

Although selling essential oils can make some money and improve the conditions of the family, there is still a long way to go before she can live a rich, luxurious life like when she was the earl's lover. Selena dipped some jasmine essential oil on her fingertips, she slowly moistened it along the fingertips and knuckles, she was thinking about something.

The moonlight fell softly on her body. It was a kind of quiet beauty that she dared not touch. When the moon almost passed the edge of the window, Selena getting ready to go to bed. She always goes to bed early. Adequate rest can make her body and spirit fuller. Moreover, her father will go to the city to pick up goods tomorrow, and he has promised to take her with him.

Thinking about being able to enter the city, Selena put a smile on her face, took off her coat and got into the quilt wearing only her underwear. Maybe because she was used to sleeping, she felt that the hard wooden bed did not seem so uncomfortable.
