Mu Chonglan held his cheeks and looked serious: "What day is the five thunders, ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, the head is in a different place, it is not good to die, there is really nothing new, it is better for you to swear that if you have any bad intentions, you will be smeared with honey after being burned, and the ants will eat your heart and die." ”

Qinghe swallowed and spitted: "This ...... Isn't that cruel? ”

"Is it cruel?"

"Of course it's cruel!"

"Why don't I think so." Mu Chonglan tilted his head and thought for a while, after Xiao Xiantang entered the Criminal Department in his previous life, he had ordered someone to use a knife to cut the scalp of a gangster who had killed young children many times, and then poured mercury into it...... There are countless punishments like this, so this hundred ants devouring hearts is nothing at all.

However, Mu Chonglan also understood that he couldn't say this, after all, Xiao Xiantang had not yet entered the career at this time, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble if he said it.

"Cruel or not, as long as you don't betray me, it's not all invalid." Mu Chonglan looked at Qinghe, her beautiful eyes blinked, and she was open-minded.

Qinghe almost had weak legs, of course she didn't have any relatives who sold spices, she just accidentally bumped into a fat-headed and big-eared spice dealer who wanted to cooperate with Mu Chonglan, but was kicked out by the people on the Zhuangzi, she looked carefully, the spice dealer wore gold and silver, and even the silver stuffed to the porter was a piece of silver with ten taels.

For a small porter is such a generous spending, she looked at the red eyes and tentatively followed, only to learn that the other party had a lot of spices in his hand, but he suffered from no market, and heard that Mu Chonglan's rouge shop was the most popular, so he would come to visit.

As soon as the two of them combined, the other party promised 800 taels of silver as a reward, and she had an additional distant relative who sold spices.

And at this time, Mu Chonglan said this kind of thing, could it be that he knew something?

It shouldn't be, Mu Chonglan was a fool in the past, she would listen to whatever she said, how could she ......

"Qinghe, what are you hesitating about?" Mu Chonglan still looked at Qinghe, Qinghe licked his lips, and raised his finger tremblingly: "I, Qinghe, swear here, I am loyal to Miss, if I violate this oath, I will ...... Just ......"

Qinghe stumbled, but he refused to finish the poisonous oath, and his eyes also looked at Mu Chonglan, as if waiting for Mu Chonglan to stop him, but seeing that Mu Chonglan didn't want to stop himself at all, but was interesting like watching an interesting toy, he had to grit his teeth and said: "If you swear for this, you will be coated with honey after being branded, and the ants will die of devouring your heart." ”

After finishing speaking, Qinghe felt that his back was full of cold sweat, and his heart was a little weak.

"Your relative's business, I'll think about it." Mu Chonglan nodded, and then walked inside.

Qinghe looked at her back, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, she just wanted to make some oil and water, everyone did this, this Mu Chonglan actually didn't miss the friendship of master and servant so much, she had to force her to make such a vicious oath.

Qinghe gritted her teeth here, Mu Chonglan was a little dazed over there, her intuition told her that there was something wrong with Qinghe's relative, but Qinghe really swore a poisonous oath, could it be that she was thinking too much?

"Hmm......" Mu Chonglan didn't pay attention, he hit his head on the person in front of him, and when he looked up, it was Xiao Xiantang.

"What you're thinking, you shouldn't be yelling." Xiao Xiantang explained why he would block her way.

Mu Chonglan touched his sore nose, frowned a little dissatisfiedly at Xiao Xiantang's hard chest, and when he asked him what he was thinking, he told Qinghe's relatives about selling spices, but he didn't say that he suspected that Qinghe had a problem. "If it were you, would you buy spices from her relatives?"

Xiao Xiantang's eyes flickered, as if he knew something, but he remained silent: "If it were me, I would be more concerned about the price." ”

"That's right." Mu Chonglan's dark belly, spices are divided into three, six, nine and so on, the spices needed by the rouge shop are medium spices, compared to the higher spices, the price of medium spices is not very expensive, but perfume is a very spice-consuming thing, a bottle of good balm may sometimes use up several spices to concoct.

Even, if the person who prepared it was a waste of firewood, maybe a dozen spices would be thrown into it and fry the utensils, such as herself.

After talking with Xiao Xiantang, seeing that Xiao Xiantang had no suspicions about Qinghe's relative, Mu Chonglan felt that he was too worried, after all, he was not as smart as Xiao Xiantang, and Xiao Xiantang didn't doubt it, so it must be his own crankiness.

Thinking like this, Mu Chonglan found Qinghe, asked about the price and other matters, and decided to use the batch of spices.

Recently, the rouge shop has made a lot of money, but the purchase of this batch of spices has cut most of the profits, Mu Chonglan's heart is dripping blood, but thinking about the return if he doesn't invest, he will admit it.

The spices were shipped in batches, Mu Chonglan looked at the first batch, the condition was not top-notch, but it was really good, and he gave enough catties and two catties, so he put his mind at ease and handed over the matter to Qinghe to deal with, and then took Moxiang to the slave market.

Although an agreement has been signed with most of the rouge shops, it is not completely risk-free, even if the other party suddenly does not supply rouge, other risks must be counted in it, such as natural disasters and man-made disasters such as blizzard and drought, which may also make their supply green and yellow, not to mention that if the other party raises the price, it will also be a big blow to their small rouge shops with small profits and quick turnover.

And the best solution is to create your own store's exclusive rouge support façade when selling most of the rouge to cope with these unexpected situations.

Although she already had Bailu Lotus, it was not enough, so she brought Moxiang to buy slaves with her, thinking that she could find some dexterity and teach them how to make rouge gouache.

"Although the investment was a little greater at the beginning, once these people learned it, we don't need to look at the face of the rouge workshop, and we can also make rouge ourselves." Mu Chonglan said what she thought, in fact, she had already found out that there was only one shopkeeper and one running guy in the rouge shop, and a lot of rouge gouache was made by the rouge workshop, which not only might lose the secret recipe of rouge, but also increase the cost, and the accumulation would never be less than the cost of buying a slave.

In fact, she still plans to buy some secret recipes from the rouge shop on the side, whether it is good or bad, as long as the price is right, she wants to sell, but the secret recipe is the foundation of the shop, few rouge shops are willing to sell, and their rouge shop wants to develop new tricks by themselves, it seems that it is not easy, these years are all the old secret recipes left over from the previous rouge shop, and some of them can't be sold.
