Chapter 20: Morning in the Forest (2)
After Zuo Zai came back from France, something happened that made Cheng Fengchun almost cry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as the little girl returned, she ran to the spice showroom, saying that she wanted to get out the smell of the Lyon forest in the morning. This made Cheng Fengchun, who was originally annoyed that he had not been able to discover his interest in perfume in Grasse, saw the dawn of hope again.
Zuo no longer has the pursuit of assistant perfumers to create their own fragrances, she only has the interest of restoring the smell she smells, and the smell she is interested in restoring is usually not too fragrant.
What makes Zuo unforgettable is always the taste of nature and life.
It's just that the process of stirring up the morning smell of the forest this time is not as smooth as the previous pouring of cat feces.
When I made the cat poop candle before, at first, it was because Xiao Nai deliberately teased her with stinky spices, and those spices together already looked like the taste of cat, and then I added a few spices with a little fishy smell. She hadn't even looked at the name of the spice before, and it didn't take any effort to make it.
The basic skill of spice sniffing and identification was mastered by Zuo Zai when he was "working" to tidy up the spice showroom last month. Moreover, the smell of cat feces made by Zuo Zai, only the "ordinary nose" will feel the same as the previous cat feces, and the "professional nose", such as Cheng Fengchun's, can smell some small differences.
Because of her extraordinary ability to smell spices, Zuo Zai had already memorized the taste of thousands of spices in Cheng Fengchun's showroom, so after she came back, she quickly poured out the smell of fresh and natural air in the showroom. Left, make a candle of the spices and smell it. Although it does smell good, no matter how it smells, it is more like the early morning in the yard of my hometown than in the forest.
For perfumers, spices are mixed and put there to smell, there is no need to make candles at every turn, many spices will change the taste after burning. But there is no way, who let Zuo Zai grow up in a candle factory since she was a child, her skills in making candles seem to be innate, and when other children learn to dress by themselves, she learns to make candles by herself.
Zuo Zai studied in the showroom for two months, and the incense she blended was very close to the smell she smelled in the Normandy Forest at that time, and even Cheng Fengchun's "professional nose" thought so. It's not a smell full of aroma, but the person who smells it really feels like you're breathing in the fresh air of nature.
Zuo Zai always felt that there was something wrong, she was still not satisfied with the current taste, and felt that there was still something different from what she smelled at the time.
When Zuo Zai was in the showroom for a month and a half, Cheng Fengchun had already asked Cheng Yan to follow Zuo Zai inside. Although Zuo Zai has an excellent memory and can remember what spices he has added every time, as an unprofessional perfumer, the amount of each spice used depends on his feelings. That's why, at first there will be a slight difference in the taste of the two cat poop candles she makes.
If Zuo Zai continues to follow her feelings like this, then even if she makes the smell of the Lyon Forest, there will be no second candle with the same taste. So what Cheng Fengchun asked Cheng Yan to do was to be an assistant measurer.
Cheng Yan, a top student at Yale University, was actually arranged by his father to work as an assistant perfumer. It's strange that he still has a bit of a lot of fun. Zuo Zai didn't realize that he was wrong to blame Cheng Yan for the matter of the undersea tunnel, and in line with the principle of no longer ignoring and deceiving himself, and smiling back and forth, when Zuo Zai had to communicate with Cheng Yan, he didn't talk to him, he used his eyes.
Zuo Zai has a pair of particularly clear eyes, and he usually looks at the person he talks to with clear eyes. In the past few days, because he has to use his eyes instead of words, Zuo Zai looked at Cheng Yan's eyes and became very exciting. is so wonderful that Cheng Yan often can't help but want to laugh, and he finally understands what it means to have "talking eyes".
Cheng Yan knew very well that the reason why Zuo Zai ignored himself was because he couldn't hold back his laughter last time in the undersea tunnel. Cheng Yan wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh out loud at this time, although he endured a little hard, he was still in a very happy mood.
Cheng Yan quickly comprehended the "immediate meaning" of Zuo Zai's various eyes. For example, when the corners of the mouth and the corners of the eyes and the eyeballs are glanced in the same direction, they just say to him a little proudly, "That's right, you know?" Another example is widening his eyes, turning his eyeballs slightly upward, and pouting a little bit, just to say, "It's not okay yet, wait a minute." Of course, there are also classic eyeballs that roll their eyes to the upper left from time to time, and their nostrils are slightly open, just to emphasize to Cheng Yan: "I don't want to talk to you." ”
Cheng Fengchun's family has never lived with a little girl, his wife gave birth to two sons, and his daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy. So Cheng Yan felt that the little girl was so funny at this time, and if he got married in the future, he would have to give birth to a girl. Thinking of this, Cheng Yan was stunned for a while, and quickly shook his head, why did he think of the gender of having a child at this time.
Speaking of which, Cheng Yan is mostly idle. For two months, Zuo Zai didn't do much every day, and kept the rhythm of one candle a day. Therefore, Cheng Yan's measurement work only needs to be done once a day. It's just that Zuo Zai adds a little more or subtracts a little from time to time, and often has to change the spices, which causes Cheng Yan to do useless work a lot of the time.
Actually, there is another thing that Cheng Yan has always wondered about, these smells that Zuo Zai made have nothing to do with the smell in the forest, and they are not alike. However, after being made into a candle and lit again, the smell comes out. When Zuo Zai did the 60th root, Cheng Fengchun was already quite satisfied with Zuo Zai's "work", and asked Zuo Zai to quickly choose a name. Except for Zuo Zai, everyone is very satisfied.
Zuo Zai always felt that there was something wrong with the taste, but she couldn't say what was wrong, so she didn't have the heart to think about what the name was. Cheng Fengchun asked her to take it, and she didn't think much about it before she came to a simple and rough Morning-Forest (Good Morning-Forest). When Cheng Fengchun heard it, he translated it as Forest Morning, the name is not bad, and it can be used.
Based on the fact that the candles made by Zuo Zai are different every time, the "meterer" Cheng Yan is a halfway monk, Cheng Fengchun took the formula measured by Cheng Yan that day and made it again, fortunately, this time his son did not make a mistake at the critical moment. Because Zuo Zai's recipe can only be made into candles to make people feel the breath of the forest, Cheng Fengchun called Zuo Jianshe to ask for cooperation.
Zuo Zai out of the formula, Cheng Fengchun out of spices, Zuo Jianshe is responsible for mass production of candles, export and sales issues are also handled by Cheng Fengchun, with a profit of seven or three points. The left family occupies three floors. In addition to Zuo Zai's formula, what Zuo Construction has to do is actually an OEM job. The OEM can get three layers of profits, which is simply a sky-high price. can give this sky-high price, mainly because this formula is left.
But then again, Zuo Zai's recipe uses the spices of Cheng Fengchun, and the one who wrote down the recipe is Cheng Yan, who has excellent comprehension. Cheng Fengchun and Zuo Jianshe talked about cooperation, even if they didn't consider the formula factor at all, it was also in the past. Zuo Jianshe didn't understand this, he still hadn't done an exit, so he readily agreed, otherwise Zuo Jianjian's character of being afraid of taking advantage of others would not have been able to agree.
The business here has been negotiated, and Cheng Fengchun and Zuo mentioned it again. After hearing this, Zuo Zai immediately objected, Cheng Fengchun thought that Zuo Zai's child didn't understand that he had given a sky-high contract, and just wanted to explain, Zuo Zai spoke first: "It's not right yet, the taste is not right." ”
Although Cheng Fengchun is not a perfumer, his nose as a perfumer is still very professional, and the taste he recognizes generally does not go wrong. After figuring out the reasons for Zuo Zai's opposition, he felt that the problem was easy to solve:
"I don't think there's anything wrong with this taste, just produce a batch of test sales according to this recipe, if you think the taste is wrong, you just want to adjust it, and we'll see which one is better."
The test sale of candles was produced quickly, and it was said that it was difficult for domestic candles to enter the US market because they were considered dumping, but in fact, it was the same in Europe. But the dumping is aimed at ordinary candles that are priced at a low price. Anyway, it's a matter of paying more taxes, and Cheng Fengchun's positioning of "Forest Morning" is to take the high-end route, so he is not worried that it will be identified as dumping.
Through Cheng Fengchun's strong sales network accumulated over the years in the spice business, "Forest Morning" soon gained a place in the high-end candle market in the United States and Europe.
She didn't know what was wrong, and she thought over and over again what she had smelled and what she had seen in the Lyon forest.
Zuo Zai's enrollment time is September, and it's still winter, so she has a lot of time to think slowly.
Zuo then sniffed out all the spices in the showroom several times, but she couldn't find a flavor that could inspire her. In the end, she broke the jar in the showroom and lit her original masterpiece of prank-cat poop candles.
As soon as the stench wafted in, Zuo Zai suddenly thought that that morning, in the forest of Lyon, the wild boar that had stolen the roast meat they had dropped seemed to poop while eating.
"That's right! What is missing must be this taste! "There is a feeling of enlightenment and enlightenment.
found the reason, swished again, and ran to Cheng Fengchun's study to report his major discovery to him. Cheng Fengchun could only take it as a joke after hearing it, and shook his head helplessly. This left is good anywhere, but it is too deep in love for animal poop.
On the other side, Zuo Zai was not joking at all, in addition to adding the smell of a piece of wild boar poop wafting from a lump of wild boar in the distance, she was also going to get a little more taste of leftover barbecue into it. Then the new version of Forest Morning was born so gorgeously, Zuo Zai couldn't wait to give it to Cheng Fengchun and let him light a candle and smell it.
Cheng Fengchun accepted the candle and said with a smile. But he only didn't light it, cat candles or something, and it was enough to smell it once. Wild boar poop, Cheng Fengchun really didn't look forward to it. Zuo didn't care anymore, and when he saw Cheng Fengchun accept it, he left happily.
Zuo Zai was quite satisfied with his final work, returned to the showroom, and saw that there was still a lot left over from the forest morning where he had just prepared and put the "ingredients", so he decided not to waste it, and wanted to use these spices to make a tiger candle as Huo Feng's birthday gift next year.
Speaking of which, at this time, Zuo Zai is a little small in terms of perfumery, but none of her artistic cells have been able to increase. In other words, the foundation in this area is too poor, and no matter how much it increases, it will not increase significantly.
The tiger candle made on the left, looking horizontally and vertically, looking left and right, except for a word ugly, I can't see what it is at all. Zuo Zai was unwilling, and made one very seriously, and as a result, although it looked completely different from the original one, the degree of ugliness was equal and equal. Even if it's ugly, even Zuo Zai himself can't see what he is doing.
There was no way, Zuo Zai used tweezers to make a tiger head in the place where she was about to make a tiger's head, but she didn't know what she had done wrong, and wrote a king character crookedly.
Xiao Nai, who was with the fart, saw that Zuo had made two more candles, so he asked her for one. The candle made by Zuo Zai, no matter what other people's thoughts are, Xiao Nai's children are definitely 200% supportive, even if they give a cat candle, they can make him happy for a long time.
