Li Kuan has been in a good mood these days, seeing that Wu Meiniang's operation is as fierce as a tiger and has solved many cases in Qiantang County, Li Kuan is happily harvesting points on the side.

"Lord Wang, the Treasure Pavilion has been open for several days, do you want to go over and have a look?"

Qing'er saw that Li Kuan was finally idle, so she hurriedly asked Xiang'er.

The Treasure Pavilion in the West City, under the management of Xiang'er, has created a lot of income for the Chu Wangfu every year.

However, it has been in Chang'an City, and the growth rate has also reached a limit, so Xiang'er has been planning to open semicolons in various places since the beginning of the year.

Li Kuan also heard Wang Xuance mention it, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

The Chu Wangfu is now a big business, but if it is just a semicolon, Li Kuan often doesn't care too much, and he doesn't need to invest much money.

Li Kuan: "Okay, before leaving Hangzhou, let's go and see if the Treasure Pavilion is still so popular when it leaves Chang'an City." ”

The treasure pavilion is still very quick to make money, and it is responsible for harvesting the rich and noble families.

"Lord Wang, this time the treasure pavilion came to Hangzhou to open a branch, but it came with the latest various perfumes, and I heard that on the first day of the store, it sold more than the main store in the West Market."

Wu Meiniang is responsible for a large part of the commercial content of the Chu Palace, and she is much more concerned about the opening of the Treasure Pavilion in Hangzhou than Li Kuan.

"Yes, I heard that Chanel No. 1, a bottle of ten silver coins, actually sold more than 200 bottles on the opening day, this rich and noble family in Hangzhou, is more expensive than Chang'an Xun."

Speaking of the Treasure Pavilion, Qing'er's words became very much.

For a long time, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty have always liked to use spices.

There is a sachet on the clothes, and men are no exception, even Li Kuan has a few Cheng Jingwen personally made.

Add spices when you take a bath, and it will be fragrant......

Incense was lit in the room, and even Li Shimin smoked incense before going to court.

There are even operations similar to chewing gum in later generations.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was especially obvious that there was such a record in an article called "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy: Chewing Musk Deer": King Ning was arrogant and extravagant, and every time he discussed with guests, he first chewed the musk deer, and then opened his mouth to talk, and the aroma was sprayed on the table.

has even developed to the point of fighting incense, compared with this, the later dynasties of cockfighting and fighting crickets are much weaker.

So at the beginning, Li Kuan made a few bottles of perfume for Cheng Jingwen, which made her very happy.

After that, the Chu Wangfu also made some perfumes in small batches for personal use and gave them away.

However, it has not been promoted to the market on a large scale.

There are two main reasons.

One is that the large-scale production of spices requires the use of a large number of flowers, which requires a process of planting and expansion.

In addition, the main ingredient of perfume is actually alcohol, and in the past few years, Li Kuan has been very restrained in the production of high alcohol and alcohol, so there is no large-scale production of perfume.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of flowers in Chang'an City, and the problem of food shortage is not so obvious.

So since the beginning of this year, Li Kuan has made people start to expand the scale of perfume production.

also gave a name that only he could get - Chanel.

However, as soon as this name came out, Cheng Jingwen thought that Li Kuan wanted to bring Xiang'er into the room.

Fortunately, after observing for a while, she didn't see any movement from Li Kuan, so she let go of her thoughts.

It seems that pregnant women are more suspicious.

"There are a lot of maritime merchants in this Hangzhou city, especially those Tianzhu merchants, Persian merchants and big food merchants, who can't go crazy when they see Chanel No. 1 with ten silver coins and a bottle?"

Gu Panpan also went to buy a bottle the day before yesterday, and he also knew why this perfume could sell so well.

"Ten silver coins a bottle is already very expensive, right? This perfume will be used. ”

Although Li Kuan knows that there are many rich people in Jiangnan, he is also a little surprised that Chanel No. 1 can sell so well.

"Lord Wang, it's wrong for you to think so. This Chanel No. 1 is packed in a crystal bottle, which is completely different from the Chanel No. 2 in porcelain. If those overseas merchants take back that crystal bottle alone, it is estimated that they can sell it for ten silver coins a bottle. ”

Wu Meiniang is also a loyal user of Chanel No. 1, and which one of her favorite teas.

Well, because Li Kuan likes it.

"Let's go, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day, let's go to the treasure pavilion first."

It seems that the Hangzhou branch of the Treasure Pavilion is even more popular than he imagined, and Li Kuan couldn't help but mention his curiosity.

……

The location of the Treasure Pavilion was cleverly chosen.

Qingwai Qingshan Louwailou, as the most famous collection of Qinglou, restaurant, inn and other functions in Hangzhou City, belongs to the rich people's sales treasury of Louwailou, is in the most prosperous area of Qiantang County.

And the Treasure Pavilion is less than a hundred steps away from the building.

Xi Junmai: "Lord Wang, something seems to have happened ahead." ”

Li Kuan and his party had not yet arrived at the Treasure Pavilion when they found that there seemed to be a bunch of people around the door.

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Li Kuan didn't expect that he finally came to the Treasure Pavilion today, and he met someone to make trouble.

Is it a coincidence?

Or is someone deliberately finding fault?

"You guys are a black shop, and you say it's the best perfume in the world. You're selling poison, aren't you? I haven't married yet, and this face has been ruined by you, what do you say? ”

When Li Kuan approached, he saw a acne man standing at the door of the Treasure Pavilion in an arrogant tone, spitting at a middle-aged man.

"Lord Wang, that is Wang Peng, the shopkeeper of the Hangzhou branch of the Treasure Pavilion, and Wang Fugui's cousin."

Wang Xuance reminded Li Kuan softly in his ear.

"This Lang Jun, the things sold in our treasure pavilion have always been innocent and genuine, and there is absolutely no harm to the safety of customers. This Chanel No. 1 has been sold countless times in Chang'an City, and I have never heard of this happening as you said. ”

At first, Wang Peng thought that the young man in front of him might really have a problem because of the use of his own perfume.

However, seeing that he didn't even give up after agreeing to return the goods and doubling the loss, he immediately knew that the person who came was not good.

Don't look at the commercial struggle, it seems that the party struggle is not as strong as the party struggle in the imperial court, in fact, it is not simple at all.

All kinds of tricks that can see people and can't see people are used.

The Treasure Pavilion has been open in Hangzhou for several days, and from time to time there are some suspicious people walking around and watching at the door.

Wang Peng was lucky before, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

"Hmph, you say no, no, no? So what's going on with my face? I've always been fine, but since I started using your Chanel No. 1 yesterday, I've been covered with acne, and now I can't see anyone. What do you want me to do in the future? You're just trying to kill yourself. ”

The acne man obviously didn't intend to let Wang Peng go like this.

And in the crowd, there seemed to be a few of his companions shouting, for fear that things would not be big enough.

This treasure pavilion has just come to Hangzhou, and the people around it don't know much about it, except for a few people who know the identity of the acne man who may guess that the treasure pavilion is wronged, and others don't care who is right and who is wrong, just have a lively look.

"Lord Wang, we have been using this perfume for a long time, and we have never heard that it will cause acne, this man, nine times out of ten, is here to make trouble." Wu Meiniang frowned, looking at the more and more crowds around her, with a solemn expression on her face.

Li Kuan was also a little puzzled.

I have heard that people who are allergic to alcohol will have a red face and even a red body after drinking.

But I've never heard of anyone with an alcohol allergy who has a pimple on their face.

Even allergies shouldn't just be symptomatic on the face.

This man seems to have pimples all over his face.

This reminded Li Kuan of the scene in front of the Cui family's fat powder shop.

In order to hit the other party, he asked Wang Xuance to find a bunch of outdated Qinglou women, and went to Cui's fat powder shop to make trouble with acne.

Because of this incident, the fat powder of the Cui family's fat powder shop was poisonous, and it became the headline of Chang'an City during that time.

Could it be that this is a feng shui rotation?

However, this made Li Kuan believe that there was a chance that someone was working on the Treasure Pavilion.

Hmph, touching the porcelain touched his own head.

"This Chanel No. 1 has been sold for thousands of dollars in just a few days, which must have caused some people's eyes."

Li Kuan looked at the scene where Wang Peng's various appeasements did not work, and he had his own opinions in his heart.

"Huh? What does the prince mean......"

Caring is chaotic, just now Wu Meiniang thought that there was really something wrong with her Chanel No. 1, but she didn't expect that this would be someone's conspiracy.

Now when I heard Li Kuan say this, my heart was immediately settled.

As long as there is no problem with the perfume, what is it if someone makes trouble?

Chu Wangfu is afraid that someone will make trouble?

"Shopkeeper Wang, let me ask him."

Wu Meiniang calmed down her mood, took a few steps forward, and came to Wang Peng's side.

As Wang Fugui's cousin, he naturally knows Wu Meiniang.

And Wu Meiniang left Beijing with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, so to speak......

Wang Peng glanced around, and immediately found Li Kuan, Xi Junmai and others, and his heart immediately became excited.

However, the branch of the Treasure Pavilion that he was responsible for made the prince see such a scene, and he couldn't help but make him a little depressed.

This is like a hard-working branch manager, who works very hard 364 days a year, and his performance is also very good; But on the last day, when the big leader came to inspect, the chain fell, and that feeling was ......

It's depressingly tight.

"Miss Wu, that ...... Then bother you. ”

Wang Peng took two steps back, and the look in his eyes at the acne man was even more unkind.

"This Lang Jun, you said that your face was a problem after using Chanel No. 1?"

Wu Meiniang's appearance made the acne man's eyes light up.

However, at this time, he also knew the key points and knew what he was going to do.

"Yes, you go and inquire, although my Qian Sangui doesn't dare to say that he looks better than Pan An, but he can be regarded as a jade tree in the wind and his face is like a crown of jade, but now? Look at my face, can you still see people? ”

"How much did you spend on this Chanel One?"

Wu Meiniang ignored Qian Sangui's words and continued to ask there at her own pace.

"Ten silver coins!"

"When did you buy it?"

"I bought it the day before yesterday!"

"How much did it cost?"

"Ten silver coins, didn't I just say that?"

"Did you buy anything else?"

"I also bought a bottle of Chanel No. 2."

"How much did it cost?"

"Five silver coins!"

"Did you buy it for yourself?"

"Of course, how else would I have this on my face?"

In the face of such a beauty as Wu Meiniang, Qian Sangui's tone was rare and better, but that attitude did not change at all.

And the people around couldn't help but be full of interest when they saw that such a beautiful woman actually came forward to reason with the famous scoundrels in Hangzhou.

"You just said how much did this Chanel One cost?"

"Ten silver coins."

Qian Sangui looked at Wu Meiniang's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little more pity.

It's a pity that such a beautiful girl has such a bad memory.

"How much did Chanel II cost?"

Wu Meiniang's speed of asking was getting faster and faster, and Qian Sangui was happy to say a few more words to her.

"Five silver coins!"

"Did it cost you five silver coins to let you make trouble??"

"No, it's just two silver coins."

Wu Meiniang looked at Qian Sangui with a smile and stopped talking.

The sound of the conversation between the two was not small, and there were so many melon-eating people around them.

This time, everyone immediately reacted.

"No, I'm not saying they gave me two silver coins, I'm saying I didn't come here because someone else gave me money. I ......"

Qian Sangui panicked as soon as he could.

Why did you just say this in a daze?

Is this what it means?

"Money is expensive!"

At this time, naturally there was no need for Wu Meiniang to say anything, Wang Peng immediately shouted, walked a few steps forward, grabbed Qian Sangui's collar, and said angrily: "My treasure pavilion has no enmity with you in the past, and there is no grudge recently, why are you framed here?" ”

"That Qian Sangui is a well-known splash in Hangzhou, as long as he is given money, what can't he do?"

In the crowd, there were obviously people who knew Qian Sangui, and unceremoniously revealed Qian Sangui's identity.

Don't look at these splashes are very arrogant in front of ordinary people, when they are facing the noble family, they are almost like an ant.

"Pull him out and beat him, and see him in the treasure cabinet in the future again, see him once and beat him once!"

Wang Peng commanded the guards beside him.

At this time, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Among the crowd, one person was pale, and he was almost angry with Qian Sangui.

Seeing that nothing could be done today, he had no choice but to leave the scene angrily.

"Wang Peng, go back and say hello to Lu Quan of the City Ship Division, and ask the City Ship Division to arrange for a few officers and soldiers of the City Ship Division to come to the Treasure Pavilion to inspect for a few days, and if you dare to deliberately stumble, you don't have to be polite, just hit directly."

Li Kuan was still in a happy mood today, but he didn't expect to watch such a farce.

Obviously, this Qian Sangui is just a small minion, and there should be the idea of the noble and rich people in Hangzhou City who have put on the treasure pavilion, or the idea of Chanel perfume.

Either way, it was not something that Li Kuan could endure.

If the tiger is not powerful, you should be a sick cat?
