Chapter 25: The Master is in the Folk
Saying goodbye to Xu Gurong, Mu Chonglan thought for a while and then settled the Persian mother and daughter in the inn where she and Mo Xiang had stayed before, she didn't think about taking them back to her residence directly, but in her opinion, she was all under the fence, and it was somewhat unkind to take two people back.
What's more, if she dares to take it, the mother and daughter may not be willing to go, or this kind of inn where people come and go, everyone can rest assured.
After the residence was solved, Mu Chonglan asked Mo Xiang to invite a doctor, the Persian girl's illness was actually just a simple cold disease, and it was only because it had been delayed for a long time that she looked so weak, and this result made Mu Chonglan breathe a sigh of relief.
You must know that just one month's room money is enough for a hundred taels of silver, which is not counting the money for a doctor, if this little Persian girl really has some incurable disease, she may have made a loss-making transaction.
The finished flower dew does not need much silver to buy it all, and the formula of the flower dew was pressed to three taels of silver by the ink fragrance at the beginning, although Mu Chonglan was a little weak-hearted, but she did not increase the price of the formula, because she was worried that raising the price would make the Persian mother and daughter take Qiao, and then take the formula and sit on the ground with herself.
After some negotiation, it was to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, Mu Chonglan took the formula and looked at it for a while before putting it away, and asked the Persian woman to press her handprint on the pre-prepared note, promising that the formula would never be leaked to others in the future.
Although the Persian woman was a little hesitant, she still pressed her handprint, and Mu Chonglan saw that she was happy, and she also happily paid half of the tuition fee agreed in advance, and said that the remaining fifty taels would be settled in a month, which means that no matter whether they can learn to make perfume or not, she will not forcibly keep the Persian mother and daughter.
Such a generous effort solved the current predicament of the Persian mother and daughter at once, and there was only a one-month deadline, and the Persian women were naturally ecstatic, constantly saying that Mu Chonglan was a great person, and that their Allah would bless Mu Chonglan.
Mu Chonglan was a little stunned after listening to her words, it doesn't matter if you bless it secretly or not, don't find out that I'm cheating you, and then a thunderbolt will split me.
Mu Chonglan was also a big spender in the past, but it was not like today, Qinghe saw that the purse was shrinking and had no intention of handing it over to him again, so he jumped to his feet in a hurry.
Mo Xiang saw that Mu Chonglan directly prepaid so much silver, and reminded Mu Chonglan to be a little defensive, after all, if the other party had a crooked mind and ran away with the silver, they would suffer a big loss.
In this regard, Mu Chonglan does not think so, she feels that although there is a risk in doing so, this kind of silver cannot be saved, because they don't know how to make perfumes, so they must leave this Persian mother and daughter to teach them to make perfumes, so as to verify the authenticity of this formula.
What's more, since this silver must be taken out, why not be generous, so that this Persian woman will also teach more carefully.
Mu Chonglan simply told Mo Xiang her thoughts, Mo Xiang understood that her ideas were shallow, but when she heard Mu Chonglan's meaning to ask her to learn perfume well, she suddenly looked embarrassed, obviously this delicate thing of perfumery is not suitable for her, but she still agreed, saying that she would work hard to learn perfume.
Qinghe is very prejudiced against this Persian mother and daughter, and always feels that this Persian woman is a liar who relies on her daughter's sympathy, and she doesn't like the flower dew sold by Persian women at all, because the smell of this flower dew is not the same as what she smelled before, so faint that she can't smell it if she doesn't smell it carefully, so when Mu Chonglan asked her to learn perfume with a Persian woman, she was very disdainful in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
Mu Chonglan and the Persian woman finalized the time to learn perfumery, and then left with the two of them, and on the way back, they spent some silver to buy all kinds of spices needed for perfumery, plus perfume utensils, and some flower dew that was still marketable on the market, and spent a lot of silver before and after, and there was not much left of the five hundred taels brought out.
Seeing that Mu Chonglan was so unrestrained, Mo Xiang was very calm, but Qinghe stirred the handkerchief angrily, as if Mu Chonglan spent her silver.
Mu Chonglan watched a bunch of spices being packed and delivered to the car, and his mood was excited and complicated.
Excited is that she knows that this flower dew will be sold for a sky-high price in the future, and the complicated thing is whether the flower dew can be sold for a sky-high price in her own hands, but it is unknown.
Because Mu Jinse has a natural nose for smelling, he can tell what kind of spices are used in rouge gouache by smell, but he doesn't even know the most basic fragrance, if he can't sell it at that time, he will take the silver to toss, it will become a joke.
That's it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so don't think about it so much.
Mu Chonglan comforted himself in his heart, and after he went back, he took various spices to compare, and then was disappointed to find that he was not sensitive to various fragrances, according to this situation, the possibility of becoming a perfumer was very low.
As soon as she came back from the front foot, Xiao Xiantang got the news over there, and she couldn't wait for her, so she sent Yan Shoucai to find it.
Yan Shoucai secretly complained in his heart, and he didn't understand how the rumor that the ninth girl of the Mu family liked her own young master and even fell in love with her crazy came out, according to him, it seemed to be the other way around.
Mu Chonglan heard that Xiao Xiantang was looking for him, thinking that something had happened to him again, so he immediately ran over, and when he saw him lying there, he chattered and told him about his experience today, of course, she didn't say that she was competing with others for the flower dew formula, only that she was going to learn perfumery tomorrow, and it would take about a month.
She pondered that Xiao Xiantang's injury was not suitable for him to hurry, and this month's time was almost enough for him to heal from his injury, if Xiao Xiantang planned to return to Qingzhou in a few days, she didn't care, it was a big deal not to follow the learning of perfumery, just take the formula and go back to find a perfumer to concoct.
Mu Chonglan thought that if she didn't say it, Xiao Xiantang would not know, but she completely forgot one thing, that is, the coachman for their trip was specially arranged by Yan Shoucai, so Xiao Xiantang already knew that she had a conflict with someone when they came back, but seeing that she didn't want to mention it, Xiao Xiantang naturally didn't mention it, but secretly wrote down the incident in her heart that she almost suffered.
"Persia is indeed a place rich in flower dew, but if you are going to be in the business of flower dew, you can't put all your hopes in one place."
Mu Chonglan nodded, she understood this truth, but how could it be so easy to encounter a good and cheap flower dew formula.
"If I'm not mistaken, there is a perfumer in most of the capital, very good at developing rouge incense powder, it is rumored that even the royal perfumer in the palace has worshiped his name, and half of the rouge on the market is also from his hands, but this person has a strange temperament, rarely accepts apprentices, but recently for some reason suddenly recruited disciples, since you decided to learn perfumery, it is better to try it."
"There are still such masters, then we have to see." Mu Chonglan picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite of it, and suddenly remembered something, so he slurred his words: "By the way, what's his name?" ”
"Liu Xu."
As soon as Xiao Xiantang's words fell, the pastry dregs in Mu Chonglan's mouth "poofed" and sprayed all on his face.
