After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 95: So Fragrant

When they returned home in the afternoon after shopping, they passed by the Bai family's residence.

Shi Qingluo even took a few bunches of mosquito incense and asked the servant boy to deliver them to Bai Xu.

That night, many people in the county lit up the mosquito incense that they received.

initially, they didn't think much about it. They were afraid that it wouldn't be that magical that mosquitoes would disappear when they lit the mosquito incense.

In the Bai family, after Bai Xu received mosquito incense, he didn't doubt much.

After all, he knew Shi Qingluo pretty well. She wouldn't do things that she wasn't confident of.

Hence, he sent the mosquito incense to his parents and grandparents.

His mother looked at the not-so-exquisite mosquito incense with some suspicion. "This thing can repel mosquitoes. Is it true?"

She sniffed it. "The smell isn't as good as the incense in my room."

Bai Xu smiled. "Mother, this is a mosquito repellent. How can the smell compare to the incense in your room?

"As long as it works it's good enough."

Lady Bai agreed after thinking for a while. "Alright, let's try it tonight."

She was happy that her son was filial.

Very quickly on the next day, those who doubted whether the mosquito incense would work had some findings.

"Did you light mosquito incense last night? It really worked."

"I didn't, I forgot. Does it really work?"

"Yes, it worked. I lit it last night and didn't hear any mosquitoes buzzing. I didn't have any mosquito bites when I woke up in the morning."

"Yes, my child always has a lot of mosquito bites. Previously, he always had a mosquito bite on his face and hands after every night. Last night, I lit the mosquito incense and he doesn't have any mosquito bites today."

"Where do they sell the mosquito incense? I'm going to buy some."

"I don't think it's available in the county. Only Xiaxi village has it."

"I'm going to buy some. Last night, I had a good sleep as there weren't any mosquitoes buzzing."

The effects of the mosquito incense spread like wildfire.

The brilliant merchants and hawkers also drove their carriages and ox-carts towards Xiaxi village.

At the Bai residence.

Bai Xu went to have dinner with her grandmother and mother.

Old Lady Bai smiled and said, "The mosquito incense you gave me yesterday was really effective. Please send more over."

In the past, whenever there were mosquitoes at night, they would fumigate the room with wormwood and get the maids to chase away the mosquitoes in the middle of the night, which would more or less affect her sleep.

However, after lighting the mosquito incense last night, she didn't need the maids around and had a good night's sleep.

Lady Bai also smiled and said, "Send some over to my side as well. This mosquito incense doesn't look that great, but it's really useful."

Bai Xu had also used it last night. It was indeed effective.

He smiled and said, "No problem. I'll go and buy more today."

He also saw the business opportunity and was prepared to look for Shi Qingluo for potential collaboration.

After dinner, he sat in a horse carriage and arrived at Xiaxi village leisurely.

Then, he realised that there were many horse carriages and ox carts parked at the entrance of the Xiao family's sugar mill.

After asking, he found out that these people were all queuing up to buy mosquito incense.

Bai Xu continued asking and heard about the free mosquito incense that Shi Qingluo had given out yesterday.

He was stunned at first, but he quickly figured out that it was a way to advertise it.

When he walked through the door, the people in front of him even told him not to cut the queue.

Bai Xu was speechless. "I'm not here to cut the queue. I'm here to visit a friend."

"Hanzheng, Hanzheng!" Then he saw Xiao Hanzheng standing not far away.

He deliberately shouted a few times and squeezed in.

When everyone saw him doing this, they also thought that he was there to visit a friend, so they did not stop him.

Bai Xu walked quickly to Xiao Hanzheng. "Where's Shi Qingluo?"

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and replied, "She was arranging the goods for delivery inside. Are you also here for the mosquito incense?"

Bai Xu whispered, "That's for sure. Bring me to your wife to discuss it then."

Xiao Hanzheng let someone handle the matters he was currently busy with and brought Bai Xu into a room.

Shi Qingluo was busy arranging for people to deliver the goods according to the number in the queue outside.

When Bai Xu entered, she spoke first. "You want to buy the mosquito incense? Then you don't need to speak anymore. There isn't."

Bai Xu was speechless. "You can just sell everything to me directly. Why go through so much trouble."

Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes at him. "If I want to sell it in bulk, why would I need to go to the county town to deliver free mosquito incense?

"Forget about being the wholesaler. You should leave some meat for others to eat too."

Bai Xu was puzzled. "Selling in bulk is more convenient. Why bother making yourself so busy?"

Shi Qingluo replied, "I'm a hardworking person who can't stay idle. I'm happy to do it."

Bai Xu uttered under his breath, I don't believe you.

"Come, tell me why." She usually looked out for time-savvy methods and was definitely not someone who would make herself busy when she had nothing to do.

Shi Qingluo finished arranging the orders in her hands.

Then, she sat down beside Xiao Hanzheng. "Alright then, I just want to bring more people to our village and transform it into a trading centre in the future."
