Chapter 501 The cannon fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination (23)

  Because of this "No. 1 Scholar Red", Xu Yin thought of the hero in the original text, maybe he was preparing for the provincial examination in August, right?

  In the book, the money he spent on going to the provincial capital to catch up with the exam was given by the original body.

   Now that the cash machine of the original body is gone, I don’t know who “borrowed” it from.

  However, no matter who she borrowed from, it has nothing to do with her.

  She just wants to stay in Los Angeles, and she is determined not to get involved with the protagonist group in the original text. The most important thing is to take off the kitchen knife called "cannon fodder" hanging above her head as soon as possible.

   "Girl, the housekeeper sent someone to ask, can I go home for the Dragon Boat Festival?"

  Zi Yuan came in and asked.

  As soon as she mentioned going back home, Xu Yin couldn't help but think of being fed by the housekeeper and the cook to gain weight during the Spring Festival, and she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.

   "Why don't you come back during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

  She said to the servant girl in a negotiating tone:

"Look, it's the time when the mountains are full of flowers, and the Fragrance Shop is working overtime. If we leave, if something happens, I'm afraid Xu Kui won't be able to handle it. It's better to be the same as last year , come back in mid-autumn?"

  If she could choose, she would prefer to live in another hospital all year round.

   But in that case, the old housekeeper should be sad.

  Zi Yuan and Hong Qian pursed their lips and smiled knowing everything.

  Xu Yin pretended not to understand their smiles, and continued to devote herself to the perfume industry, proving to them with practical actions: You girls, I am really busy, very busy, very busy!

   In fact, she is really busy. Since the rose and jasmine bloomed, she has concocted no less than 30 perfumes.

  There are pure rose essential oils, pure jasmine essential oils, and both in different proportions, as well as blended with a certain proportion of essential oils such as geranium, patchouli, chamomile, bergamot, and citrus flowers.

  However, among the thirty perfumes, she was really satisfied with only two:

  One is called "Orchid", which is made of rose, geranium, and chamomile essential oils in different proportions;

   There is also a named "Yaqing", which is mainly made of chamomile essential oil, supplemented by patchouli and bergamot essential oils.

  These two perfumes are relatively light and elegant.

  Because of the theme of roses, "Youlan" has a stronger fragrance than "Yaqing", but it is much weaker than the perfume made of pure rose essential oil. At least she prefers this kind of faint fragrance.

She divided these two most satisfying perfumes into newly customized glazed perfume bottles. The two constituted a set, and Xu Kui sent a clever servant to the prefect and Liu Yuanwai's mansions, and sent them by name. With Mrs. Zhifu and Mrs. Liu.

  The two ladies were surprised and puzzled when they received this late return gift:

   "Didn't it mean that the daughter of the Xu family has no perfume in her hand? How come there is still?"

   "Did Xu's merchant ship come back from the sea? So they brought back these two new perfumes?"

  They were just guessing. The wives and young ladies in other mansions heard the gossip, believed it was true, and sent their servants one after another... No! This time they go out in person! Go to Xu's Perfume General Store, ask for new perfumes, and ask for as many as they want.

   Shopkeeper Zhang looked confused: "Perfume? There is no perfume in this shop."

   "Shopkeeper, don't lie! The master of the Ni family has delivered it to the prefect and the Liu family, so why are they out of stock? Don't you want to sell it to us?"

   "It's not that Mrs. Ben didn't bring enough money!"

"Snapped!"

  One of the ladies threw out a stack of banknotes in public: "Are these enough to buy the perfume in your shop?"

   Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile on his face: "How dare I lie to everyone, there really is no such thing!"

"impossible!"

   "..."

   Shopkeeper Zhang is going crazy.

  These people who came here, although they are not as powerful or rich as the magistrate and Liu Yuanwai, they are all respectable, and he can offend none of them anyway.

   Where can he get perfume?

  At this time, he suddenly thought of his master, and hurriedly bowed his hands to the ladies and ladies:

   "Everyone, please give me a little more time to ask my boss. If the merchant ship of the boss really shipped perfume from overseas, I must persuade the boss to sell a few bottles to the lady and lady who are here today!"

   "All right, all right, go and ask!"

   "Hurry up and come back! Madam Ben left a maid waiting for news in your shop."

   "My girl also stays here alone."

  Each family kept a maid or mother-in-law in Xu's spice shop, as if she would not give up if she didn't ask the result.

   Shopkeeper Zhang twitched his mouth. Originally, he wanted to take a trip to Xujia Village tomorrow or the next day, but now he can only put down the unfinished business at hand and go to do it first.

any idea!

  A dozen or so confidantes of the wives and young ladies of various prefectures stared at him with piercing eyes. I can't sit still.

  Following the carriage all the way to Xujia Village, shopkeeper Zhang's legs were weak the moment he got off the carriage.

   "Hey! What wind brought the shopkeeper here?"

  Xu Kui finished inspecting the production progress of the fragrance workshop, and was planning to go up the mountain to show the girl the account of the wine workshop.

  Thanks to Chunwei, the popularity of "Zhuangyuanhong" has continued until recently.

  He thought that following this trend, he might be able to connect to Qiu Wei.

  So in addition to showing the account to the girl, I also want to ask the girl if I want to take advantage of the situation and sell this wine to various cities and towns? Make him a big vote!

  He has already thought up the lyrics for selling wine: drink Zhuangyuanhong, and ride a horse through the streets to be a high school student!

   Not only did I just walk to the entrance of the village, I met shopkeeper Zhang.

   Shopkeeper Zhang smiled wryly: "It's not the fault of the perfume."

   "Perfume? What happened to the perfume?"

   Shopkeeper Zhang explained the reason in a long and short story.

  Xu Kui turned his head away and laughed unkindly.

   "You're still laughing! I'm almost dying of worry!" Shopkeeper Zhang blew his beard anxiously.

   "Oh, what is there to worry about, isn't it just business!"

   "Speaking lightly, what about business? There are no goods, so what business!"

   "Well, it will be available soon."

  He happened to be going to another courtyard too, so he took shopkeeper Zhang with him.

   It was the first time for shopkeeper Zhang to climb two mountains in a row and climb another tea garden mountain.

  But seeing the purple, red or crescent-white flower sea next to the tea garden mountain, I think this trip is worth it.

   "I didn't expect there to be such a magnificent scene in the mountains, especially the sea of ​​purple flowers, there are such dreamy flowers in the world..."

  Xu Kui: "What wonders, dreams! They are all planted by girls."

   "Huh?" Shopkeeper Zhang was quite surprised, "Are these flowers planted by girls?"

   "The overseas flower seeds are cultivated by the girl herself."

   While talking, finally came to Chashan Bieyuan, shopkeeper Zhang was so tired that his legs felt like they were not his own.

until-

   "What!! The perfume received by Mrs. Zhifu and Mrs. Liu is not an overseas product? It is from your master?"

   Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't believe his ears.

  Xu Kui stepped back quietly.

  Old Zhang was so excited that he salivated.

  But you can't express your disgust.

  Although he is also the shopkeeper now, but Lao Zhang is the shopkeeper of the general shop, there is still a bit of a gap in his identity, alas...
