Chapter 46: Perfume
After Su Chen sent off those shopkeepers, he hurriedly returned to his courtyard.
"It's okay, it's almost burned."
I saw Su Chen holding a small bamboo tube with a small amount of liquid in it.
But the strange thing is that this small bamboo tube actually exudes an extremely good smell.
"Xiaoxue, you come in."
"What's the matter, sir?"
As Su Chen's words fell, a well-behaved and cute girl poked her head in from outside the door.
"Come in and show you something good."
"Okay."
Xiaoxue was bought by Su Chen to serve Su Chen after he became the head of the family.
"What is it, sir?"
Xiaoxue is not very old and is always curious about the unknown.
Seeing Su Chen mysteriously holding a small bamboo tube, he poked his little head over curiously.
"It's so fragrant, what is this, sir?"
"It's called perfume, and you stick your hands and arms out."
Xiaoxue was very obedient and stretched out two small arms that were as white as lotus roots.
Su Chen trembled with the bamboo tube and poured the two drops of liquid in the bamboo tube on Xiaoxue's wrist.
Although she didn't know what Su Chen was going to do, Xiaoxue trusted Su Chen very much, so she stared at Su Chen's movements with curiosity on her face.
"Alright, apply it behind your ears."
Xiaoxue nodded, and smeared it evenly behind her ears according to Su Chen's words.
Suddenly, Xiaoxue only felt that she was surrounded by a scent.
This smell is different from the smell of rouge, which also exudes aroma, but the smell is very pungent when you smell it up close.
This smell is different.
It's a natural floral scent, far better than rouge.
Xiao Xue stared at Su Chen with bright eyes and asked.
"Master, what is this, why does it smell so good, it is far better than rouge."
Su Chen smiled, touched Xiaoxue's head, and said with some pride.
"This is my own research, how is it, is your master powerful?"
"It's amazing."
Xiaoxue clapped her little hands very happily, and her eyes were full of admiration.
This greatly satisfied Su Chen's vanity.
So Su Chen waved his hand and directly gave all the remaining perfume in the bamboo tube to Xiaoxue.
The latter took it with great joy and sent it back to the house like a baby.
Since Su Chen sat firmly in the position of the head of the house, Yizhangqing returned to the cottage, saying that he had to explain well before moving here.
Su Chen has no opinion on this, it is of great use for him to keep those people in the cottage.
Not only that, but he also feels that there are not enough people in the cottage now, and he wants to recruit people.
Because Su Chen thought, this world-breaking way can't say anything, if the kingdom really breaks the mountains and rivers in the sky, he and his family can also have a place to go.
If the operation is good, it is not difficult to rely on the special natural insurance of the cottage and the stalemate of the imperial court for a lifetime.
As for what self-raising army and privately arming?
Joke, your emperor may be pulled off the dragon chair one day, what is it for me to raise an army?
These are all things that must be done, but with the current Su family, they definitely can't afford to raise a regular army.
Of course, the current Su family, Su Chen has enough confidence that he can build the Su family into the largest business empire in the country.
Nowadays, among the businesses controlled by the Su family, cloth is the most profitable, followed by wood and oil extraction.
In modern times, these businesses are all businesses that support their families by some workshops, but the Su family can become a big family in the entire city with these alone.
But Su Chen was not satisfied with this, he wanted to be alone in this world.
There must be power and money.
If you don't have the right, you have to pay a lot of money!
Therefore, Su Chen's top priority now is to expand more business for the Su family.
Uncle Su's house.
"It's a very good thing!"
Uncle Su was holding a small ceramic bottle, and what was contained in it was perfume.
At this time, Uncle Su's face was full of joy, and his many years of business experience told him that once this thing was taken out, it would definitely be robbed.
"Good son, I really didn't mistake you."
Uncle Su patted Su Chen on the shoulder, but suddenly as if he remembered something, he asked Su Chen.
"By the way, Chen'er, you asked people to find those flowers earlier, isn't this perfume made of those flowers?"
Su Chen nodded in affirmation.
"My father is really smart, and this perfume is made from those flowers."
Hearing this, Uncle Su frowned slightly.
"How many bottles were made?"
"Huh?"
Uncle Su's words made Su Chen a little confused, where did the hundreds of bottles come from?
"Father, that's all you have."
"Huh?"
Uncle Su trembled, he didn't expect so many flowers to be made into this small bottle of water.
"Hiss~"
Uncle Su endured the discomfort and asked Su Chen, "Then how much does this thing cost?" ”
Su Chen pondered for a moment and then said slowly.
"The main raw material is flowers, not counting the raw materials for the time being, making a bottle of perfume requires about five taels of silver."
"What!"
Uncle Su was taken aback by this amazing cost, which still did not calculate the various costs of mass production.
Uncle Su shook his head and said with some regret.
"This thing is good, it smells better than rouge, and it doesn't smell like incense powder, but this thing is too expensive to produce, who can spend so much money to buy such a thing."
What Uncle Su said is not reasonable, there are wars every day in this chaotic world, and ordinary people can't afford this expensive perfume at all.
Even five taels of silver at the cost price can't afford it.
These five taels of silver are enough for a family of five to eat for more than a year.
Having said that, Su Chen did have another idea.
Su Chen sorted out his thoughts and said to Uncle Su.
"Father, this thing is not sold to ordinary people at all, there are many rich people in this city, and the master of any family must not have three wives and four concubines."
Uncle Su frowned after listening to Su Chen's words, obviously thinking about it.
"Why are you sure that they will definitely eat this set, even if it is a large family, the regular money given to their wives and concubines every month is only ten taels of silver."
It seems that Uncle Su still doesn't understand what kind of people make the best money.
In his previous life, the market was controlled by a few people, and their success made Su Chen deeply understand that women and children have the best money.
So Su Chen's first shot was fired at the woman.
But these statements can't be told to Uncle Su, so I talked to Uncle Su.
"It's better to let me try, it's best if I can do it, and if I can't do it, I'll lose money."
Uncle Su also nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, just according to Chen'er's wishes, anyway, I have already handed over the entire Su family to you, even if you lose the Su family, I will admit it."
