Chapter 502 The cannon fodder cousin of the male protagonist of the imperial examination essay (24)

 Shopkeeper Zhang reacted from the shock and was ecstatic:

“Doesn’t that mean that there is an endless supply of perfume for sale in the shop?”

 “Yes.” Xu Yin responded with a smile.

　　You can brew your own high-strength vodka, and naturally you can put perfume on the market.

 She was looking for an opportunity to promote it, but she didn’t expect someone to give her a pillow when she fell asleep.

 The prefect’s wife and Mrs. Liu are really her close friends on the road to making a fortune!

 Let Ziyuan fetch the rose perfume and jasmine perfume that have been standing for a while.

 These two fragrances are strong and suitable for early promotion.

After pulling out the cork and smelling it, making sure it was OK, he asked the two maids to take it aside and pack it.

5ml exquisite glass bottles, 50 bottles each, handed over to shopkeeper Zhang:

"You can sell these first, and then I will arrange for people to deliver them to the shop regularly."

 “Okay, okay!”

Shopkeeper Zhang felt relaxed at the thought of not having to go back empty-handed to face the group of servants squatting in the shop.

He rubbed the delicate glass bottle and admired sincerely: "The girl is so clever! Not only can she make overseas perfumes, but this glass bottle is also made more delicate than overseas bottles."

 Xu Yin: “…”

 Should she be lucky that a batch of perfume bottles have been redesigned this year to differentiate perfumes based on the color and shape of the bottle?

For example, the brown swan-neck glass bottle is specially used to hold jasmine-flavored perfume; the burgundy flower-flavored glass bottle is used to hold rose-flavored perfume; the purple pagoda glass bottle is used to hold lavender perfume...

If we continue to use the old model from last year, will the big shopkeeper say: The girl is so capable that she can make perfume bottles that are exactly the same as overseas ones?

 When the shopkeeper got the perfume, the fatigue of climbing mountains was gone, and he felt like he could climb a few more mountains.

 Thinking like this, I said it out loud unconsciously.

Xu Kui laughed loudly after hearing this: "Of course we have to climb the mountain, otherwise how can we go back?"

　　　…”

 “Big shopkeeper! Wait a moment!”

Ziyuan trotted out to catch up:

“Girl, I feel sorry for your hard work climbing the mountain, so I asked the nursing staff to carry you down the mountain in a sedan chair.”

Shopkeeper Zhang was flattered: "No, no, no! I can walk!"

“Hey, Lao Zhang, since the girl has spoken, you should sit on it! Otherwise, I guess you won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”

　　　…”Lao Zhang? Are you calling me?

 Xu Kui: “…”

 It’s over! I shouted too much in my heart, and accidentally became bald!

Lao Zhang won’t avenge his private revenge, right?

 Fortunately, the big shopkeeper didn't take this matter to heart. He was still deeply moved by his employer's compassionate heart.

Sitting in a soft sedan all the way down the mountain, admiring the magnificent scenery of the sea of ​​flowers along the way, and holding a bag of perfume in his arms, Shopkeeper Zhang felt that this trip was well worth it!

 Xu's spice shop, the maids and women from each house finally waited for shopkeeper Zhang to come back. When they heard that there was perfume, they hurried forward to grab it. A woman with sharp eyesight and quick hands protected the perfume that shopkeeper Zhang took out, and shouted loudly: "My wife has told me to buy as much as I want!"

"What's wrong with you! You bought everything. How can we explain to the master when we go back?"

"That's it! Shopkeeper, you must be fair! How can you buy things like this?"

Shopkeeper Zhang murmured to himself: When you were raiding essential oils, didn't you buy them like this too?

Of course, he would not dare to say this even to death.

Clearing his throat, he raised his hand: "Everyone! Listen to me! We all work hard for our respective masters. I can understand your difficulties. So, I will bring back two perfumes this time, 50 bottles of each. You How many people are there in total? I will give you an average score..."

 “How can it be divided evenly?” Mrs. Fuyin’s personal maid muttered unconvincedly.

 There is no master of these people present who is more senior than her family.

"Don't worry! Listen to me first." Shopkeeper Zhang said patiently, "Our boss will send you perfume soon. The scent is different from these two. You are buying more now, just in case there is a scent you like more later. , Aren’t these a waste? Why not take a few bottles back for the masters to use first. If you like it, you can buy more next time. If you don’t like it, it would be more appropriate to buy another scent next time. "

I heard from the shopkeeper that there would be other perfume types arriving soon, so there was no need to fight over it. According to the shopkeeper, it was divided equally among the several people present. In the end, there were a few extra bottles, which all went to the Fuyin family.

The servant of the Fuyin family thought about how many more bottles he had received than others, so he explained to his master when he returned home, and his expression was quite kind.

The servants of other houses thought that if they were not divided equally, they might not be able to grab a bottle. After all, their masters were either the back yard of a minor official such as the chief secretary, or the outer house of some master. Now they can get two or three bottles, which has exceeded their expectations, so they are very satisfied.

The servants lived up to their master's trust and squatted to get the perfume. Finally they no longer blocked the spice shop and left one after another holding the perfume.

 Shopkeeper Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Women's business is really easy to do. As long as there are goods that satisfy them, money will flow in.

It can be said that it is difficult to do, but it is really difficult to do it. A bowl of water cannot be leveled, let alone the mistresses of various houses.

They want to compete with each other, and there are only a few items, which is really a big deal!

 Fortunately, the girl has now found a way out - she can make incense herself without having to wait for merchant ships to go out to sea. The business of the spice shop is bound to be booming.

 Shopkeeper Zhang became more and more energetic as he thought about it, while colleagues like Xu who were in the spice business didn't have a good face.

 Liao Ji’s spice shop, which is across the street from Xu’s, has been so light on business recently that it’s almost deserted.

Liao Ji’s boss, Liao Guangtian, came to the shop to do the accounting. When he saw that the turnover this month was only so little, he threw down the account book angrily.

The shopkeeper explained with a grimace: "My boss, it's not that the young people are not diligent, but that the Xu family launched a perfume a few days ago, which attracted ladies and ladies from all over the country to rush to buy it. I heard that there are new products in the future. The servants ran to the Xu family when they saw the sky, and Liao Ji hasn’t come to visit us for a long time..."

"perfume?"

"Yes, it's the perfume! I found out that this perfume was originally produced overseas. The late Xu Ningxiang, the late old boss of the Xu family, asked someone to buy it from overseas as a gift to the daughter of her daughter. The daughter of the Xu family somehow mastered perfume. The preparation method. The ones recently sold to the mistresses of various houses must have been prepared by her herself."

"The daughter of the Xu family? The only child of the Xu family? How can she mix perfume?"

"I... I don't know. Could it be..." the shopkeeper leaned into the owner's ear and lowered his voice and guessed, "The Xu family merchant ship obtained the secret recipe for making perfume from overseas?"

Liao Guangtian narrowed his slender fox eyes, his eyes deep in thought.

"You find a few strange faces and stare at Mrs. Xu. If there are new products on the shelves, try to get a bottle of perfume. I want to see what the charm of this perfume is, so that it makes those women feel free to pay. Grabbing like crazy.”

The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, and then sent two newly recruited clerks to keep an eye on Xu's spice shop in shifts and report any movement.
