Chapter Twenty-Nine: Take the incense

"The third brother means that I want to find some inspiration and ideas from the ancient law. ”

"That's right. No matter how good the perfume sales are among foreigners, the number of people is limited after all. You have to put your standards on our own people, and this is the largest group. Think about it again. ”

"Third brother, let's not talk about perfume for now. I heard that you took back all the equity of our South Street from Commander Tong. Sheng Wanrou changed the subject.

"The equity is not what I want, it was Tong Yuqi who sent it back to me. Moreover, he also kicked Jin Meiyan out of the Tong family. ”

"Jin Meiyan was kicked out of the Tong family by Commander Tong, and then you went to Yanbian to give Jin Meiyan a letter of appointment, and asked her to continue to come back to be the manager of our South Street. I'm afraid that the third brother has ulterior motives for arranging this. ”

"Even if it is an ulterior motive, it is for you and for the good of our family. ”

"I've only met this Kim Mi-yeon three times, but I think this woman has a restless factor all over her body. Even if the third brother uses it, he has to be careful! Such a person is especially easy to turn around and bite back. ”

"Since I used him Jin Meiyan, then I must have a way to check and balance her, you can rest assured. ”

"I don't think the third brother wants to balance her, but wants to use her as an obstacle between me and Commander Tong. ”

"I really have such a purpose, Miaowei, the third brother will tell you today that the relationship between this Jin Meiyan and Tong Yuqi is very complicated. The water between the two people is also very deep, I called Jin Meiyan back this time, and it was fake to let her be the manager, and the most important thing is to let you take a look at Tong Yuqi's true face through Jin Meiyan. ”

Sheng Jingzhi sat down and looked at Sheng Wanrou.

"Yo, I really didn't see that the third brother still had such a scheming. ”

"After many years of working in the business field, I am still very accurate in seeing people. If you don't believe it, you'll just wait for how many good shows there will be in the follow-up. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait to see the good show that the third brother arranged for me. Sheng Wanrou's smile was very meaningful.

With that, she got up and went upstairs.

"Still young!" Sheng Jingzhi whispered.

At this time, Sheng Jingzhi suddenly thought of an important matter, he hurriedly went upstairs and knocked on Sheng Wanrou's door.

Sheng Wanrou came to see the door.

The matter of running the school was personally approved by Bao Dujun, and the engineering team also entered the wasteland in the west of the city to prepare to start the construction of the school building. ”

"So fast!" Sheng Wanrou was a little surprised.

"The document signed by Bao Dujun himself, you see!" Sheng Jingzhi took out the document.

Sheng Wanrou took the document and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Bao Dujun's autograph.

"That's great, I'd like to thank Overseer Bao personally. "Sheng Wan judo.

"I'll take you to thank you in person another day. Sheng Jing said.

The construction progress of the construction team is still very fast, and on this day, Sheng Wanrou came to the west of the city with Yan'er.

At this time, Tong Yuqi was also at the construction site.

"Commander Tong is earlier than me. Sheng Wanrou, who got out of the carriage, walked directly in front of Tong Yuqi.

"Miss Seven isn't early, did you have breakfast?"

"This weather, it's getting hotter and hotter day by day, my appetite hasn't been good lately, and I haven't eaten well these days. ”

"It's okay not to eat, Miss Seven, I'll take you to breakfast. ”

"Commander Tong has a treat?"

"I'll take you to a good place. ”

"Okay, I'm just hungry, so I'll thank Commander Tong first. ”

"Miss, you and Commander Tong go to breakfast, I'll go back. ”

"The perfume I put on last night is going to go back today and see the effect. Put away all the perfumes first. ”

"Okay. She turned around and got into the carriage and left.

Tong Yuqi left Ke Zhen at the construction site, drove Sheng Wanrou to Longcui Villa.

"As soon as Commander Tong invited me to dinner, he came to Longcui Villa, and there is no other place in the entire Jiangcheng except here. ”

"I have to go home to eat this meal. I'm afraid that this outside rice is not suitable for Miss Seven's taste. ”

Sheng Wanrou sat in the back seat of the car and smiled faintly.

"Commander Tong is still a person with a pattern. Sheng Wanrou was blowing the river breeze.

Tong Yuqi smiled slightly,

"The commander is a Manchu nobleman, although he is reckless, but this temperament still can't be covered. Your eyes can make all the difference. "Sheng Wan judo.

"Miss Seven, is this praising me?" asked Tong Yuqi.

"What I'm particularly curious about now is how Commander Tong survived in the haystack. "Sheng Wan judo.

"I have a lot of stories, and if Miss Seven wants to hear them, I'm willing to tell them to you from the beginning. I just don't know if Miss Seven is willing to give me this opportunity?" Tong Yuqi asked rhetorically.

"Commander wants to trick me with that?" Sheng Wanrou half-joked.

"But I'm willing to be trapped by Miss Seven. Tong Yuqi said. Sheng Wanrou followed Tong Yuqi to the Licui Villa, and the servants went to cook, so Tong Yuqi led Sheng Wanrou to wander around the villa.

"The location of this mountain villa is really good, with North Mountain in the back and Matsue in front. During the day, you can see the beautiful scenery of Kitayama. At night, you can sleep with the water of the river on your pillow. The commander is really a good eye. Sheng Wanrou came to the platform at the top of the villa.

"This is my family's ancestral property, which was later forcibly occupied, and later I took it back and made a new transformation. With this platform, look!" Tong Yuqi pointed to the front and then to the back. "As you said, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is a place to raise people. ”

Sheng Wanrou smiled slightly.

At this time, the servants of the Tong family came to deliver food.

The two sat down to prepare for dinner.

"Taste this is our Manchu cuisine, this is Saqima, this is sour soup, this is bean cake. It's all refreshing food, as well as this freshly pickled cucumber side dish. You taste it!" Tong Yuqi introduced the delicacies on the table to Sheng Wanrou one by one.

"This Saqima is different from what I eat in Beijing. Sheng Wanrou took a bite.

"The real Saqima originated in our Jiangcheng. After it was transmitted to the imperial court in Beijing, it also integrated the flavors of other ethnic groups. Tong Yuqi said.

"Commander Tong's parental flavor is still very good. It's still different from us in Zhejiang. Sheng Wanrou felt that the taste was very good, and she ate a lot.

"If Miss Seven likes to eat, I'll send it to Miss Seven when I'm done in the future. Tong Yuqi looked at Sheng Wanrou with a doting expression.

"Will you still do it?" Sheng Wanrou was surprised.

"Of course I do, I can make big dishes in addition to dim sum. I can cook half of the dishes for our Manchu and Han banquets. Tong Yuqi is full of confidence.

"I really didn't see that a big man was so interested in eating. ”

"Men are also human beings, they have the skill of cooking, and they don't go hungry anywhere. Also, real men are willing to cook for the women they like. Tong Yuqi looked at Sheng Wanrou's eyes and said.

Sheng Wanrou said she didn't believe it.

"If you're willing to give me this opportunity, I'll cook a lot for you. Tong Yuqi said.

Sheng Wanrou smiled knowingly.

"I heard your third brother say that you went to Harbin to do perfume business in the past few days?" Tong Yuqi stopped the topic of cooking in time.

"It's ok. "Sheng Wan judo.

"It's okay, it's not very good, what kind of trouble have you encountered? Tell me about it, maybe I can help you." Tong Yuqi said

"Do you know the perfume?" Sheng Wanrou was even more unconvinced.

"How do you know if I understand if you don't tell me?" Tong Yuqi continued to smile.

Sheng Wanrou told Tong Yuqi about selling perfume in Harbin.

Tong Yuqi listened and nodded.

"I told you the situation, do you have anything to tell me?"

"In fact, the fact that your perfume is so difficult to sell shows that it is still not suitable for us Chinese. ”

Tong Yuqi's words made Sheng Wanrou sound a little familiar.

"For us Chinese, especially Jiangcheng. You seem to have a lot of merchants coming and going, and the wives of these rich merchants also have a lot of incense. But what really attracts them is the incense concocted by our ancient method. ”

"Ancient concoction. Sheng Wanrou felt that these four words were also very familiar.

"That's right, the most incense we have used in China since ancient times is incense. Whether it is in the palace or in the mansions of those nobles, the incense powder in this incense burner is used as soon as the fire is used, and wisps of fragrance waft out of the stove. ”

Sheng Wanrou nodded after hearing this.

Seeing that she was so interested, Tong Yuqi began to continue to talk again.

"That perfume, because he is used to Westerners, so he thinks it is good. And a small bottle in a handbag is also very convenient. Although we are now in the Republic of China, perfume is not popular. If Miss Seven wants to do it, my advice to you is that perfume should be used for foreign customers, and for our own people, we will continue to use incense powder. ”

"Are the incense powders you are talking about our traditional incense?"

"But for our own countrymen, you can also make perfume in bottles. I'm just giving you this advice to broaden your sales mindset. ”

"My family has a lot of ancestral incense, and there are also some ancient methods of concocting incense. You can take them all out and give them to Miss Seven, so that Miss Seven can ponder and make better incense. ”

"What Commander Tong said is true. ”

"I don't lie to Miss Seven, there are a lot of agarwood in this Longcui Villa. If Miss Seven is interested, I can take you to have a look. You'll get a lot out of it this time. ”

Sheng Wanrou took a sip of sour soup. "Commander, take it seriously. ”

"Really, if you don't come with me now, I'll take you to see it. ”

Sheng Wanrou sat on the chair and did not move.

"Why Miss Seven, I'm still afraid that I will do something sorry for you. ”

"Don't say that, Commander, I didn't mean that. ”

"Then come with me to see it! I said, you're going to get a lot out of it. ”

Sheng Wanrou still refused to move the place.

"If you don't want to follow me to see it, then I'll bring it. It's just that the amount of this incense is a bit large, and those ancient books have always been kept in the storeroom. When I see the wind and blow the air, I am afraid that there will be damage. Tong Yuqi said.

"What's this? I'll just follow you, can you still eat me?"

"Even if you eat it, you can't eat it now. ”

"Commander Tong can't joke like that. ”

"I'm sorry Miss Seven, it's me Meng Lang, I'll take you to have a look. ”

Sheng Wanrou got up and followed Tong Yuqi to the warehouse.

Tong Yuqi took Sheng Wanrou to the side of the fourth cabinet, and then opened the four drawers.

The two drawers hold several large and small brocade boxes, and the last two drawers hold two stacks of books.

"Miss Seven, look. Tong Yuqi reached out and picked up a brocade box and slowly opened it, "You smell it." ”

In fact, the moment the lid of the box was opened, she smelled a very strong but not pungent fragrance.
