Chapter 500 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (23)
Because this "number one scholar red" reminds Xu Yin of the male protagonist in the original novel, maybe he is preparing for the provincial examination in August, right?
In the book, the expense for him to go to the provincial capital to take the exam was provided by his original identity.
Now that the original ATM machine is gone, I don’t know who “borrowed” it from.
However, no matter who she borrowed it from, it has nothing to do with her.
She just wants to stay in Luo City, resolutely not to get involved with the protagonists of the original text, and it is business to completely take off the kitchen knife called "cannon fodder" hanging on her head as soon as possible.
"Girl, the housekeeper sent someone to ask if you can go back home to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Zi Yuan came in and asked.
When Xu Yin talked about going back home, she couldn't help but think of the time when the housekeeper and the cook jointly fed her to gain weight during the Spring Festival, and she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
"Otherwise, you won't be coming back during the Dragon Boat Festival, right?"
She said to the maid in a discussing tone:
"You see, this is the time when the mountains are full of flowers. Everyone in the fragrance shop is working overtime. If we leave, if something happens, I'm worried that Xu Kui won't be able to handle it. It's better to do the same as last year.
, will you come back in mid-autumn?"
If she could choose, she would prefer to live in another hospital all year round.
But if that happens, the old housekeeper will be sad.
Zi Yuan and Hong Qian smiled knowingly.
Xu Yin pretended not to understand their smiles, and continued to devote herself to the perfume business, using practical actions to prove to them: You girls, I am really busy, very busy, very busy!
In fact, she is indeed quite busy. Ever since roses and jasmine bloomed, she has prepared no less than thirty perfumes.
There are those blended with pure rose essential oil, some blended with pure jasmine essential oil, some with equal proportions of the two, and some blended with a certain proportion of geranium, patchouli, chamomile, bergamot, citrus flower and other auxiliary essential oils.
However, among the thirty perfumes, there were only two that really satisfied her:
One is called "Orchid", which is made from rose, geranium, and chamomile essential oils in different proportions;
There is also a product called "Yaqing", which is based on chamomile essential oil and supplemented by patchouli and bergamot essential oil.
Both of these perfumes have relatively light and elegant scents.
Because "Youlan" has a rose theme, its fragrance is stronger than that of "Yaqing", but it is much lighter than the perfume made from pure rose essential oil. At least she prefers this kind of light fragrance.
She put the two perfumes she was most satisfied with into newly customized glazed perfume bottles. The two perfumes made up a set, and asked Xu Kui to send a clever boy to the houses of the prefect and Liu Yuanwai to take their names.
Send it to the prefect's wife and Mrs. Liu.
When the two ladies received this late return gift, they were both surprised and puzzled:
"Didn't you say that the daughter of the Xu family no longer has perfume in her hand? Why is there still one?"
"Did the Xu family's merchant ship return from sea? So it brought back these two new perfumes?"
They just guessed that the ladies and ladies from other houses heard this gossip, believed it, and sent their servants one after another... No! This time they went out in person! They visited Xu's Spice Shop and named the newly arrived perfume. How many of them did they want?
How much do you want.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked confused: "Perfume? We don't have any perfume in stock."
"Shopkeeper, stop lying! Your master has sent it to the prefect and the Liu family, so why are there no goods? Do you not want to sell to us?"
"It's not like I didn't bring enough money with me!"
"Snapped!"
One of the ladies threw out a stack of banknotes in front of everyone: "Did these buy the perfume in your shop?"
Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile: "How dare I deceive you? You really don't!"
"impossible!"
"..."
Shopkeeper Zhang is going crazy.
Although these people who came here were not as powerful or wealthy as the magistrate and Liu Yuanwai, they were all respectable, and there was no one he could offend.
Where can he get the perfume?
At this time, he suddenly thought of his employer, and quickly raised his hands to the ladies and ladies:
"Everyone, please give me some time to ask my boss. If my boss's merchant ship really brings perfume from overseas, I will definitely convince him to sell a few bottles to my wife who is here today, miss!"
"Okay, okay, go ahead and ask!"
"Go and come back quickly! My wife has left a maid in your shop to wait for news."
"I also leave someone here."
Each family left a maid or mother-in-law to guard Xu's spice shop, with an attitude of not giving up until the outcome was reached.
Shopkeeper Zhang twitched his lips. He originally wanted to wait until he had time to go to Xujia Village tomorrow or the next day, but now he could only put down the unfinished things at hand and go and finish this matter first.
any idea!
A dozen ladies from various houses, the young lady's confidants, were staring at him with piercing eyes. They couldn't sit still.
The carriage galloped all the way to Xujia Village. The moment we got off the bus, shopkeeper Zhang's legs became weak.
"Hey! What brought the big shopkeeper here?"
After Xu Kui inspected the production progress of the fragrance house, he was planning to go up to the mountain to show the girl the accounts of the wine shop.
Thanks to Chunwei, the popularity of "Zhuangyuanhong" has continued until recently.
He thought that following this trend, he might be able to connect with Qiu Wei.
Therefore, in addition to checking the girl's account, I also want to ask the girl if she wants to take advantage of the situation and sell this wine to various prefectures and cities. It will make a lot of money for him!
He has already thought up the lyrics for selling wine: Drink Zhuangyuanhong, ride a horse through the streets, and be in high school!
Not long after we reached the entrance of the village, we met shopkeeper Zhang.
Shopkeeper Zhang had a wry smile on his face: "It's not the perfume that's to blame."
"Perfume? What happened to the perfume?"
Shopkeeper Zhang explained the reason in a short and long way.
Xu Kui turned his head away and laughed unkindly.
"You're still laughing! I'm almost worried to death!" Shopkeeper Zhang blew his beard anxiously.
"Oh, what's there to worry about? It's just business!"
"To put it lightly, where is the business? There is no goods, how can we do business!"
"The goods will be available soon."
He happened to be going to another courtyard, so he took shopkeeper Zhang there with him.
This was the first time that Shopkeeper Zhang climbed two mountains in a row, and also had to climb a tea garden mountain. The mountain was not big, and the slope was not steep, but he had never walked so many mountain roads at once, and it was really tiring.
But when I saw the sea of purple, red or crescent-white flowers beside Chayuan Mountain, I felt that the trip was worth it.
"I didn't expect that there are such magnificent and wonderful scenery in the mountains, especially the sea of purple flowers. There are such dreamy flowers in the world..."
Xu Kui: "What a wonderful sight, a dream! It was all planted by girls."
"Ah?" Shopkeeper Zhang was quite surprised, "These flowers were planted by girls?"
"The overseas flower seeds were cultivated by the girl herself."
While talking, they finally arrived at the Chashan Courtyard. Shopkeeper Zhang was so tired that his legs felt like they were no longer his own.
until--
"What!!! The perfume received by the prefect's wife and Mrs. Liu is not an overseas product? But it comes from your boss?"
Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't believe his ears.
Xu Kui quietly took a few steps back.
Lao Zhang was so excited that he drooled.
But you can't openly dislike it.
Although he is also the shopkeeper now, Lao Zhang is the head shopkeeper of the main shop, so there is still a bit of a gap in status, alas...
