Chapter 118: Imitation Incense (I)
After redeeming Han Ji, there were two hundred taels of silver left, and then she collected cypress leaves and bought incense utensils, and she knew better than anyone how much silver was left in the workshop
However, if you want to open a business and do business, you have to spend the money that should be spent.
"I'm ......" Mu Wanqiu nodded, "You just have to spend it with confidence, and the owner will be able to get the silver soon......"
“…… It's true? Qu Yong asked, "When is the owner?" "It's about to open, but the owner hasn't shown up, and his heart is empty.
Not really
In the past few days, she didn't have any money, looking at Qu Yong's serious face, Mu Wanqiu secretly smiled bitterly, "It's almost ......" she replied vaguely, "You go with Luo Zhengyi and tell Hongyuan Dart Bureau that Bai Yefang plans to cooperate with them for a long time, one hundred taels a year, pay a deposit of ten taels first, and let them send someone to ...... today."
“…… Ten taels" Qu Yong's voice changed his tune, and it wouldn't cost ten taels of silver to hire a small dart game.
It's not cold enough to take it out
"Just ten taels, no matter how you use it, I want to see someone from the Hongyuan Dart Bureau to give me a nursing home at night......" Mu Wanqiu stood up and prepared to escape.
Taking ten taels of silver to hire a Hongyuan dart master is a bit scolding, but she is shy, and she can't do it, this still gives Qu Yong a headache.
"White ......"
Qu Yong also wanted to say, Sannier knocked on the door and came in, "The carriage is set, Uncle urges you to get out quickly......"
With a sigh of relief, Mu Wanqiu raised her legs and left.
After opening his mouth for a long time, Qu Yong sighed, "This ...... This...... Didn't you ask the big girl if she wanted a child, and she didn't skip words.
……
“…… Is it really you who made the cypress leaves? As soon as he got out of the carriage, Mu Wanqiu was stopped by Yao Jin.
This is possible
It's not enough to kill her, this little handyman who doesn't even know spices is a peerless genius.
Ignoring her, Mu Wanqiu instructed Li Laohan to "...... Uncle, let's go back first. ”
Li Laohan nodded: "I'll pick you up when I'm done......"
“…… Say, whose secret recipe did you steal again" Seeing that Mu Wanqiu ignored her, Yao Jin's voice became sharp.
Shuoyang people Mu Wanqiu didn't understand incense, and said in public that she had stolen the secret recipe, whether it was true or not, as long as she stood here and argued loudly, the rumors would immediately grow wings and fly all over the sky.
The so-called three people become tigers, and the fairy-like Li Jun will also disdain her when he hears it. In any case, she must make her stink today, and she must not let Li Jun have such a peerless talent
“…… Stole? "Having gotten into the carriage, Li Laohan jumped down again, "...... Stealing your home...... Do you have it at home and don't skip words. Glaring at Yao Jin angrily, the blue tendons on Li Laohan's forehead loomed, and he was really angry, who had always been silent.
Lonely and a little girl, Mu Wanqiu is really not easy, she has suffered so much, and when she comes out, some people can't wait to slander her.
Seeing that the other party answered, Yao Jin glanced at Jin Hai.
Jin Hai Yin and Yang said loudly, "I said, I am really a natural vixen, and the black god of Hook is just fascinated, I can't think of it, I actually eat it for all ages, and the obsessed octogenarian old man is also biting everywhere like a mad dog......"
"You ......" Old Man Li's lips trembled.
Jin Hai sneered, "...... Don't look at the identity, it's also what you shouted" Her face changed suddenly, and she waved her hand behind her back.
Whoosh, the crowd immediately flashed several figures, instantly surrounding the two of them.
Fierce spirit, Mu Wanqiucai, it is not accidental, Yao Jin is here to find fault
Even if everyone is in full view, Yao Jin will not do anything to her, but the so-called more and more black she is depicted, the innocence she slanders like this, even if she distinguishes a sentence, it is a loss.
Do?
Yu Guang saw that Yao Jin's people had already surrounded her and Li Laohan, and they were lonely, and they couldn't leave if they wanted to leave at this time.
"Master Bai has been in a long time...... "In a difficult situation, the shopkeeper of the Tianfeng Incense Pavilion led a purple-clothed person to step forward, she glanced at Yao Jin, and turned back to the road, "...... This is the Master Bai I want to see. ”
"White Girl An ......" suddenly disappeared Yao Jin's group of people, who were eyeing him, and he folded the fan in his hand and arched his hand towards Mu Wanqiu.
"People dare to ......" Seeing that he was about to succeed, he was suddenly stabbed by someone, Yao Jin turned his head angrily, and he was stunned.
So handsome, so strong.
Dressed in a dazzling purple brocade robe, the face as white as porcelain is covered with a charming color, the sword eyebrows fly obliquely, and the feminine and narrow eyes faintly reveal a sinister aura, which makes people dare not look directly, and they are also handsome.
Rao is arrogant and indulgent, the sky is not afraid of the earth, Yao Jin is also speechless, facing this cold evil spirit, several domestic slaves who are holding their arms and sleeves and preparing to cure Li Laohan's crime are even more trembling, and dare not step forward.
Will he come here?
Seeing this person suddenly, Mu Wanqiu was also so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Huangpu Yu, the son of the Huangpu family, one of the four major families, in the previous life, had saved her from danger several times, although he was his sworn brother, but this Huangpu Yu was also her lonely life, the only person who made her feel warm and hated.
"White Girl......" Seeing the appearance of dementia, Huangpu Yu smiled and called softly.
"Huang ......" came back to her senses, Mu Wanqiu was lightly blessed, and wanted to call Huangpu, as soon as she opened her mouth, she remembered that in this life, it was the first time they had met, and she hurriedly changed her words, "An ......"
With a smile on his face, Huangpu Yu glanced at Mu Wanqiu up and down, "Miss Bai has seen me?" "Just now she clearly wanted to call him Whampoa.
I've seen it, it's the previous life.
Answering in her heart, Mu Wanqiu shook her head quietly.
Frowning, Huangpu Yu pondered for a moment, "...... Is the White Girl interested in going to the big business? ”
Cause?
What does he mean by this that he wants her to go to work for the Whampoa family?
Although the reputation is not as good as the Li family, the Huangpu family also has a few famous incense shops in Daye, although this person is ruthless, but he attaches great importance to affection, and he can not protect him when he goes to Daye, but she shook her head, "...... I have signed a contract, and I will go to Daye after the Douxiang meeting. ”
“…… Who did the White Lady sign a contract with? Huangpu Yu's expression was shocked, as soon as the white girl came out yesterday, he kept sending people to keep an eye on it, and he didn't want to be preempted, "...... Is it the Li family who doesn't skip words. sighed secretly in his heart, he was always one step later than Li Jun
She didn't know who she had signed the contract with.
With a sad smile, Mu Wanqiu was speechless.
With some disappointment in his eyes, Huangpu Yu coldly glanced at Yao Jin's house slave, and everyone was frightened, and they all retreated.
"Uncle, let's go back first......" Mu Wanqiu took the opportunity to say.
"Ah Qiu ......" Facing Yao Jin and a group of domestic slaves, Li Laohan was a little uneasy.
"With this one, I'm fine......" Although Huangpu Yu didn't say it, but in her subconscious, he would definitely help her, in his previous life, he had been helping her like this, and even almost turned against him.
Looking left and right, Li Laohan hesitated for a while, turned around and took the reins, flicked the whip violently, "Drive ......"
With a bang, Yao Jin's house slaves stepped forward again, and at the sinister gaze of Shanghuangpu Yuyin, they retreated in disdain, looking at Yao Jin uneasily.
"Can the white girl's cypress leaf incense secret recipe be transferred......" Watching Li Laohan's carriage walk away, Huangpu Yu turned around and asked.
"This ......" Mu Wanqiu hesitated slightly, "I have transferred the secret recipe of Bai Ye Fang to the black ...... of Bai Ye Fang" There was a faint regret in his tone.
He is always kind to her, if she can, she is willing to help him, but this Bai Yefang is her lifeblood, which determines her future fate, in this life, in order to live well, she must not take a step.
Frustrated, Huangpu Yu sighed regretfully, and suddenly smiled again, "......What does the white girl mean?" He looked at Mu Wanqiu, "...... The Li family can't get this secret recipe either? ”
Mu Wanqiu smiled and nodded, "Yes......"
"Okay, good ......" Huangpu Yulian said two good, "white ......"
As he was talking, the officials at the venue separated everyone and came to the front, "Master Bai, everyone is here, President Yin invites you to come to the stage......
Everyone looked back, and before they knew it, the judges had already taken their seats, and Gu Qin was frowning and looking here.
"White girl, please ......" Huangpu Yu dodged away, "I wish the white girl success and the final championship......"
"Thank you......" Mu Wanqiu lightly blessed her body.
"......" watched Mu Wanqiu step by step onto the stage, Jin Hai let out a low voice.
Looking at the back of Huangpu Yu not far away, Yao Jin flicked his sleeves, "...... Cheaper for her today"
In the last Xiangxiang fight, only the first place of the three groups participated, Sun Kuaishou and Shao arrived early, and when they saw her on stage, Gu Qin nodded to President Chongyin, "...... Let's go. ”
Immediately, a servant stepped forward to strike the gong and shouted silence.
The crowd fell silent.
After giving in with Gu Qinqian, President Yin got up and came to the mahogany case in front of the stage, and the topic of Douxiang had already been prepared, a total of three questions, folded and packed in a bamboo tube.
President Yin clasped his fists and saluted everyone in the audience, calmly pulled out a question from the bamboo tube, and opened it in public, "...... There is no limit to the spices, and the jasmine fragrance will be imitated within three days."
Imitation incense?
As soon as the topic came out, there was an uproar in the audience.
The so-called imitation incense, is to use one or more spices to adjust the taste of another spice, not modern, there are headspace analysis, liquid chromatography and other mechanical equipment, imitation incense is a very easy thing, in ancient times, imitation incense can only rely on the nose of the perfumer, to achieve a good "likeness" requires the perfumer's nose to be unusually sensitive, and the memory of the fragrance is also extremely accurate.
The slightest mistake is a thousand miles.
This is to go through a long time, hundreds of thousands of repeated experiments to be possible, not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, the requirements for the level of perfumers are also very high, in the Great Zhou, even senior perfumers may not be able to do it, not to mention, Shuoyang occasionally has a first-class perfumer is rare.
There will be people who imitate incense
After reading the question, Chairman Yin looked at Mu Wanqiu with blazing eyes, and his heart rose to his throat.
This little girl, as Master Gu guessed, can imitate incense?
At the banquet yesterday, Mu Wanqiu took off the black veil, and looked at the big ethereal eyes, President Yin suddenly remembered that this little girl was the person in the old years who was ragged, infected with the wind and cold, and was ignorant of the person who wanted to enter the examination room to be named.
At that time, it was the kind of ragged clothes and youthful age and grace and grace that she exuded around her that made him remember it vividly.
Sure enough, she turned out to be a brilliant pearl hidden in the market.
It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world, and he passed it at that time.
Half a year later, she is no longer the person who is in rags, and he only needs a little favor to make her grateful to Dade.
Now, Kuroki from Kashiwa Yefang hired her first, and if you want to get her, I'm afraid you will have to pay a great price.
However, if she really knows how to imitate incense, even if she pays a sky-high price, it is worth it
Yes By].
