"This is the perfume of our British Empire, using synthetic spices, more natural than natural flavors, more fragrant, you smell, is it more pleasant than the aroma of your flower water?" Miss Yang, who left before, held a crystal clear glass bottle in her hand, and with her fingers pressing the button on the bottle, a cloud of water mist sprayed out from it, and a unique fragrance suddenly filled the shop.

The reason why she is called 'unique' is because this aroma is very strange to everyone, no one has ever smelled this smell, the young ladies and ladies present are all from the powerful families in the capital, but they can't explain this smell, but one thing they know very well is that this aroma smells very fresh, and there is a feeling of relaxation.

The woman who bought the flower water before, couldn't help but spray the flower water on her body, and the fresh air of the perfume in Miss Yang's hand is different, the smell of the flower water is stronger, with a more obvious flower aroma, to say who is better, it is really difficult to decide, can only say Chunlan Qiuju, each has its own love.

"How much does your perfume cost?" someone asked Miss Yang.

"Fifteen pounds, which is equivalent to a hundred taels of silver. ”

"What? a hundred taels?"

Hearing Miss Yang's words, the people present began to discuss, although the flower water and perfume can't tell who is good and who is bad, but the perfume is only one hundred taels of silver, and the flower water needs one thousand taels, which is ten times higher, and the difference is too big, right?

"Shopkeeper Liu, do you have something to say?"

"Yes, why do foreigners' perfume only need a hundred taels of silver, while the flower water sold in your Tianxianglou costs a thousand taels of silver?"

People questioned one after another, and several foreigners kept nodding.

"Ladies and ladies, don't worry, listen to me. Although it was winter, Shopkeeper Liu's forehead was sweating, and while waving at the people in the house, he said loudly, "As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for, and our flower water sells for a thousand taels, so naturally there is a reason to sell it for a thousand taels." ”

"What's the truth?"

"Miss Yang, what other use does your British Empire's perfume have besides adding fragrance?" asked Shopkeeper Liu at the foreigner.

"What can perfume do? It is to increase the aroma, freshen the air, and mask other smells on the body. Miss Yang replied naturally.

"That's right, your British Empire's perfume only has a fragrance, and our Tianxianglou's flower water in addition to the fragrance, can also refresh the mind, prevent mosquito bites, in addition, ladies and ladies can drip the flower water into the water when bathing at home, not only full of fragrance, but also can achieve the effect of cleaning, sterilization, and itching. ”

"Shopkeeper Liu, aren't you bragging anymore?"

"Bragging? Even if I, Shopkeeper Liu, brag, Niangniang and Gege can still brag? Who in the palace doesn't have a bottle of toilet water in their hands now? To be honest with ladies and ladies, we can get perfume in Tianxianglou, which is even better than the one in Miss Yang's hands, but that kind of vulgar thing is similar to a sachet, and we Tianxianglou disdains to sell it. Because our purpose of Tianxianglou is to sell the best. I think ladies and ladies should be here for the best of babies, right?"

Hearing the words of Shopkeeper Liu, there was another discussion below.

"Well, Shopkeeper Liu is right, if it wasn't the best thing, we wouldn't have come. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Bang Bang Bang ......

The foreign lord with a top hat knocked on the counter with the cane in his hand, and then said loudly to the people in the shop, "No, no, the best perfume is in our British Empire, how can it be here with you?"

"Lord Yang, we are selling more powerful toilet water, not your monotonous perfume. Shopkeeper Liu reminded.

"But you just said that Tianxianglou has better perfumes than our British Empire, I don't believe it"

"This ......" Shopkeeper Liu's figure was stagnant, just now he was just using this to promote his own baby, but he didn't expect foreigners to hold on to it.

"Let's have a competition, how about it?" the foreigner said suddenly, "Use your perfume from Tianxianglou to compete with the perfume of our British Empire, the method of the competition is very simple, you have five people, we also have five people, and then pour their respective perfumes into the bowl, these bowls have no mark, no one knows, only there are marks under the bowl, let these ten people choose the favorite smell, which perfume chooses more people, even if who wins." ”

"What if it's a tie?"

"Then keep competing until you have a winner. ”

After hearing this, Liu Zhangguan fell into deep thought, pinching his mustache in his hand and kept figuring it, if he won the competition, he would naturally be able to block the mouths of foreigners, and he would be able to make Tianxianglou's reputation even louder, but if he lost the competition, what would he do?

"Liu is in charge, compare with foreigners, and let them know how powerful our Great Qing Kingdom is. ”

"Yes, if you win, you can be regarded as fighting for our Great Qing Kingdom. ”

Shopkeeper Liu couldn't make up his mind for a while, after all, Tianxianglou was not what he said.

"What are you afraid of?" When Liu saw that it was the big shopkeeper, he was suddenly relieved.

Li Defu accompanied his father to listen for a long time, his heart was already full of anger, this foreigner was too arrogant, he actually ran to his shop pù to smash the field, there were dozens of people present to watch it, these are all customers who came to Tianxianglou to buy treasures, if they don't agree, how will this Tianxianglou continue to open in the capital in the future? Therefore, not only to compete, but also to win.

"The shopkeeper Li is so courageous, compared with foreigners, I'm afraid that he is a bird. ”

"Yes, let them know that our Great Qing Kingdom is a veritable Heavenly Empire. ”

Those who knew Li Defu immediately echoed him, and at the same time applauded Li Defu's boldness.

Li Lianying shook her head secretly, this son is too uncomposed, how dare he accept the competition of foreign adults? Are foreigners easy to provoke? Even the Queen Mother Lafayette has to give three points. If you win, what if you anger Lord Yang? If you lose, won't you be able to do this business? If you don't win or lose, won't you ask for trouble if you agree?

Li Defu was proud, his vanity was greatly satisfied at this time, he stepped down the steps, looked at the people in the store and said loudly, "Since foreigners want to compare with our Tianxianglou, then our Tianxianglou will be compared with foreigners, and I, Li Defu, want to let them know that our Tianxianglou and our Qing Kingdom are not as simple as they think." ”

"Don't be too happy, if you lose, not only do you have to admit that our British Empire's perfume is the best, but the things in this Tianxiang Mansion must also belong to us, if you win, then we will buy all of them at the price, how about it, do you dare to agree?"

"Dare, why don't you dare?" Li Defu said loudly with the strength of the wine, and at the same time wanted his father to see his ability to do things, it was so simple, it was so bold.

When Li Lianying heard this, she almost fainted, the treasures in Tianxianglou were worth millions of taels of silver, if he lost, what would he do to accompany God?

"Good!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa......

Seeing the people clapping around him, Li Defu clasped his hands into fists, arched his hands to the men, women and children present, and then looked at the foreigners, and said confidently, "Let's compare." ”

"No, no, no. William shook his head and said, "We need to find five people to be judges, not to mention that what you saw just now is not the best perfume in our British Empire, we will continue to compare here at this time tomorrow, don't forget, you also need to find five people to be judges." ”

"Tomorrow and today, I, Li Defu, are waiting here for the big driver, and Mr. William should not come. ”

"Bye-bye. ”

The foreigners are gone, and in the Tianxiang Building, whether it is to see the excitement or to consume, they have praised the pride of the shopkeeper Li, and the only one who dares to call the foreigner in the capital is the shopkeeper Li.

Li Defu is very proud, it was a bad thing to be famous before, but this time he finally showed his face, or showed his big face. When he turned around and was about to ask his father for credit, he saw his father standing on the stairs with a stern face, and after glaring at him fiercely, he shook his head and went upstairs. Li Defu was shocked and hurriedly followed.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" asked cautiously after Li Defu went upstairs.

"Son, you are really getting bolder and bigger, you dare to compete with foreigners, do you know, those foreigners don't even dare to provoke the Queen Mother Lafayette. If you anger them, the foreigners' guns and cannons are not a joke. ”

"Can, can?" Li Defu shrank his neck, thinking of the power of foreigners' guns and cannons, he also began to worry, and stammered and asked, "Foreigners can't afford to lose, right?"

"Can't afford to lose, don't say lose, even if it's okay, they can find something to do. Forget the fact that the British and French troops entered the capital a few years ago? Emperor Xianfeng fled to Rehe and ascended to heaven. If the foreigners find another excuse to break into the capital because of your matter, do you still want the Queen Mother and the current emperor to flee to Rehe again?"

Li Defu's knees weakened, and with a "poof", he knelt on the ground, kowtowing with a "bang", "Dad, the child is ignorant, you must save the child." Li Defu protected Li Lianying's calf and asked, "Or, let's admit defeat?"

Li Lianying couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard it, if she could admit defeat, he wouldn't be worried. That's millions of taels of silver, I'm afraid that God will know about it at that time, and in a fit of anger, he will blast the two of them to the top with five thunders, and before the Queen Mother Lafayette cleans them up, he will take them in advance.

"Daddy, daddy, what do you say? The child listens to you. Li Defu's frightened face turned pale, and the strength of the wine had passed.

Li Lianying thought about it, she couldn't hide this from the Queen Mother, and she couldn't hide it from God, so it seemed that she could only ask God for help.

"Stay here honestly, don't act rashly. I'll go back to the palace and think of a way, and I'll come to you tomorrow morning. Remember, if a foreigner comes back, you must treat each other politely, understand?"

"Yes, yes. ”

Li Lianying stood up, went downstairs, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the palace gate.
