"Husband, the concubine went to the back garden of Guozi's assistant Xue Yi's house today to enjoy chrysanthemums, and her wife took out something called Liushen Flower Dew, which was fragrant. It is said that a drop on the body will keep the smell for days. The concubine deliberately begged for two drops, and put them on her wrist and chest, you smell, you smelled ...... "Yongpingfang, Chang'an City, a beautiful woman in her thirties, under the lamp, gave treasures to her husband who had just come home from work after working all day in the yamen.

"Really? - "The husband with a gray beard and hair frowned perfunctorily. Immediately, his eyes became brighter than the candles on the wall, "Sure enough, it is very fragrant." Where is this flower dew? It is clearly a perfume paid tribute to the big food country! During the reign of the Holy Queen, her husband had seen with her own eyes that the women of Chang'an City at that time could be proud of getting a drop......"

Halfway through his words, he slammed away his young wife, whose face was already flushed, and raised his eyebrows angrily, "Then Xue Yi is just a national assistant teacher, where did he get the money to buy such a valuable thing?" There must be a secret behind this. No, the old man must find out about it! ”

The young woman was defenseless and was pushed, and her red face instantly turned blue. chased after him, grabbed her husband's white beard, "The surname is Ma, you stop for the old lady!" Big night, what are you crazy about? Hidden feelings, you know hidden secrets all day long, all the officials of the Tang Dynasty are blind and deaf, just you are a shrewd person! ”

"Let go, let go, Madame! It hurts, it hurts! "The white-haired official is thirty years older than his wife, and it is inevitable that his husband will be sluggish. While crying out in pain, he pushed his wife with his hand, "I won't check, I won't check, I won't check." This thing only flowed out of the palace back then, and it was sold on the black market for twenty dollars a drop, and it was still unmarketable. The surname Xue doesn't know which door he has taken, and the shit luck ......"

"Oh, dead old ghost, where are you pushing!" The scolding in his ears turned into a delicate exclamation, completely cutting off his explanation.

The officer surnamed Ma, whose beard was white, looked up and saw a pink bandeau shirt, and at the same time, there was a strange fragrance coming to his nose.

His heart was beating uncontrollably, and his hands and arms were out of control. The explanation in his mouth quickly turned into a coax, "Lady, I'm sorry, I'm careless for my husband." Liushen Flower Dew is right, anyone surnamed Xue can afford it, let's afford it. The husband will send a housekeeper to buy it tomorrow. Even if you rummage through Chang'an City, I will buy this thing back for you! ”

"Dead old ghost, look at what you said, what's the use of rummaging through Cheng'an City? At the mouth of the West Market, there is a newly opened shop called Liushen, which is specially opened for these Liushen flower dew! The young woman raised her plump fingers and gently poked at her white-haired husband's forehead, "But there are no goods now, only samples." A deposit is required and you can pick it up five days later. And the men were not allowed to enter, but only the women were allowed to enter with their maids. ”

"There is no stock, how did the surnamed Xue get it? If you don't believe it, you must ...... for your husband" The voice became more and more muffled, and gradually only heavy gasps remained.

"Husband, don't be in a hurry to mess around. Listen to me! The third daughter of Mrs. Xue's aunt's family is married to the eldest son of Guo Tingshi in Jinchengfang. The Six Gods Firm is said to have been opened by the Guo family. I know you're good to me, but don't make a feud with the Guo family in vain. It's just a matter of waiting for five or six days, oops, you old ghost, why can't you even wait for a word......"

"I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for a moment. What is this flower dew called, fragrant, really fragrant......

The red candle beats, and the rain is sparse and windy this night.

"Lady, what do you think your husband brought back to you today?" On the same night, in a delicate courtyard in Xiuxiangfang, Dr. Zheng Yi of the Four Gates took out a delicate white porcelain bottle from his underwear pocket and put it in front of his wife.

"A white porcelain bottle, what good things can it hold!" The wife, who was born in the Cui clan of Qinghe, glanced at the bottle disdainfully, and pouted with a smile, "It's late to come back, you said it's too late." You are a manly man, and you deserve to travel extensively. The concubine will not learn from the ignorant fool, and will be entangled with you for this. Hiss, what a taste, as if the peach blossoms are blooming again......"

"Don't underestimate this porcelain bottle, it's filled with six gods of flower dew. There is nothing to buy on the market, I got close to Shaoguo Gong Duan Huaijian, so I got such a small bottle. Doctor Simen Zheng Yi was full of pride, quickly closed his fingers, and hid the porcelain vase behind his back, "Forget it, since you can't look at it, lady, I'll take it to give it away tomorrow ......"

"You dare!" Mrs. Zheng's apricot eyes widened, and she rushed behind her husband with an arrow step, and snatched the porcelain bottle with lightning speed, "It's really the six gods of flower dew, full of bottles." The concubine saw Mrs. Liu Yuanwailang show off this afternoon, and the woman who didn't know how to do it actually said that if she put two drops on her wrist at most every time, the fragrance would not disperse for three days! Tomorrow I will invite her over for tea and wipe her face so that she can smell enough! ”

"That's unacceptable!" Dr. Simen Zheng Yi smiled and hugged his wife's waist and walked slowly to the bed, "Tell you for your husband, don't be ugly." It really only needs two drops at a time. A drop is here on the wrist, take it, and teach you for your husband. Another drop, the point is here......"

The fragrance fills the house, like peach blossoms in full bloom.

At the same time, under different lights, the aroma of peach blossoms, chrysanthemums, orange blossoms, and jasmine flowers permeated the room. Countless men and women are intoxicated in the smoke.

"Li Changshi, have you heard? Recently, a very strange shop has opened in Nishigoguchi. There is only one kind of thing for sale, and there are only samples at present, so if you want to buy the goods, you have to pay a deposit first, and then wait patiently! Another morning, in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, there were discussions.

"Why haven't you heard of it, alas! Just for that, my wife, for this reason, broke off her friendship with the wife of Master Zhou. Changshi, surnamed Li, who was questioned, sighed and responded with a sad face.

"Huh? Broke off with Mrs. Zhou? Is there a way for Mrs. Zhou to get the flower dew in advance! The questioner grinned at first, and then asked expectantly.

"Master Zhou's brother, who is on business at the Municipal Yi Bureau, is said to have a few samples in his hand. As a result, my wife dragged Mrs. Bookkeeper to ask, and Mrs. Bookkeeper actually picked up a shelf! ”

"Alas, it's a mess! As for it? A woman's heart is small! Li Changshi, where are you going, don't you have to go today? ”

"Where else can I go? Go to Guo Xingxian's house! That old thing owes me a favor. The six gods of flower dew were made by his family's Erlangjun and Ren Qiong's family together. I don't believe it, he doesn't have any samples! ”

"Wait for me, wait for me. Brother Li, don't go. Don't worry, I don't take samples, I just see if I can order first. The first batch of goods, it is said that there are only 500 bottles, and now I go to the shop to order, and it is estimated that it will have to be lined up until next month! ”

……

"My mother, people used to tell me that I still don't believe it. In this Chang'an City, there is really a golden gold hidden in it! At noon, Ren Cong lay on the table in the study, staring at the long bill on the table, dumbfounded.

In four days, it took only four days from the opening of the Liushen shop in Xishikou to the first batch of 1,000 bottles of Liushen Flower Dew being booked!

This is still in the store, only porcelain bottle samples are provided, and no spot is provided. If it is changed to a glass bottle, four colors, and more than a dozen formal goods of different shapes, how popular Liushen Flower Dew will be, Ren Cong can't imagine!

It's not that I haven't seen a lot of money, in fact, the total sales of one thousand hangs are really not a big number for a gentleman like Ren Cong! Every year, the profit of the business house run by his father Ren Qiong is hundreds of times that of this amount. Ren Cong's total annual expenses are not lower than this number.

However, those profits were earned back by using hundreds of thousands of hanging principals, thousands of shopkeepers and associates, and the influence of the big tree of the Baoguo Mansion. After paying the salaries to the treasurers and guys at all levels, and then deducting the share handed over to the Guogong Mansion and some expenses up and down, it will only fall to the Ren family by one to two percent.

The 20,000 hangs deduct some necessary reserves and expenditures, and then divide them by December, the "living money" that the government can use every month, that is, the appearance of eight or nine hundred hangs. And now, the same amount of "living money" is written on the bill in front of his eyes.

That's right, it's live money! In other words, spending these eight or nine hundred dollars immediately or using it to buy a land and a house will not have the slightest impact on the normal operation and even the development and growth of the Liushen Commercial Bank!

As for the cost of producing the next batch of flower dew, there is no need to worry about it at all. Having learned how to use the "water bath-condensation" method to refine alcohol, and began to extract essential oils from flowers under the guidance of Zhang Qian, he is very clear about the cost of Liushen Flower Dew!

He can use his life and the reputation of all the ancestors of the Ren family to guarantee that the cost of selling a 60 ml of Liushen Flower Dew on the market in Chang'an will definitely not exceed twenty Kaiyuan Tongbao! At present, the proceeds of the second round of financing, a full 20,000 yuan Tongbao, are still lying on the account, and not a penny has been spent.

In fact, Ren Cong firmly believes that even if the second round of stock expansion is not carried out, the investment of Zhang Qian, Guo Nu and the three of them will be able to increase the output of flower dew tenfold. However, Zhang Qian refused to do that, and reiterated again and again that the hotter the Liushen Flower Dew sold, the sooner the third round of share expansion must be launched, otherwise, the three brothers will end up with no money and no money sooner or later.

Ren Cong has no doubt about this statement. On the one hand, it was because Zhang Qian once saved his father's life and made him a prodigal son who had no one in the whole family to quickly become a model for several younger sisters and younger brothers! On the other hand, it is because his father Ren Qiong has told him more than once in private that the origin and ability of the senior brother are by no means as simple as he sees now.

"You have been looking for a superior person for so many years, and the Father has never stopped you. Now that you have seen the real master, if you can't worship him, don't blame your father for being strict with you in the future. Honestly go to the Western Regions to help my family guard the trade routes, and when I get old in the future, the young prince will not treat you badly when he sees that I have worked hard for the Guogong Mansion all my life! When Ren Cong took the first batch of samples of Liushen Flower Dew a few days ago and asked his father to help distribute them, his father Ren Qiong carried his shoulder and said with a serious attitude that he had never had in his life.

When he said these words, his father's eyes sparkled. After Ren Cong listened, his eyes were also shining, and there were faint tears flashing. At that moment, he knew that he should grow up, and he knew how to go in the future.

"What, stupid?" A familiar voice suddenly came from the door, and the chaotic thoughts were instantly expelled from Ren Cong's mind.

"Second Senior Brother, are you back?" Tengdi jumped up, Ren Cong held a pair of cross-eyed eyes caused by helping to pour the dew of the six gods, and asked loudly, "What's the matter, the matter of buying officials, has Ling Zun found his eyebrows?" ”

"Well, I mentioned it. I was about to tell the senior brother, how did he offend that old thing? That old thing, risked his life and messed up this matter! Guo Nu's face did not carry any joy after making a fortune, and he sighed while grabbing a towel to wipe his sweat.

"What?" Ren Cong's brows tightened, and he blurted out in questioning, "Offended Bi Gong? It's impossible, the senior brother was taken by Zhang Duwei the day before yesterday to go to Bifu to submit the papers. It is said that it is still an invitation from Bi Gou! ”

"How could it not be? Bi Gou was promoted to the rank of servant of the imperial history yesterday, and on the same day, he submitted a book to the emperor and asked to stop the buying and selling of official positions. And, request to remove the oblique officials in the world! Now, the entire Beijing officialdom is scolding him. Almost everyone wished that he would immediately fall out of the carriage and fall to his death! ”
