Yongxing 3rd year, September 27, breeze.

Taking advantage of today's good weather, Chen Chao led the two girls out to go shopping and rested in a teahouse on the side of the street.

It is rainy in September and cold in autumn.

As soon as the rain passes, the temperature in the capital falls off a cliff.

At the window of the teahouse, Chen Chao led the two girls to sit down.

Song Qingwan was wearing a lilac dress, with a cloak tied around her shoulders, she was almost three months pregnant, her belly had risen slightly, forming an arc, and with that charming face, she became more and more mature and beautiful.

Ning Baizhi was wearing a moon-white short coat, with a cloak tied on her shoulders, she looked delicate and cute, her two-month pregnancy looked the same, very flat, but with the same snacks on the table, her little belly bulged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the three of them walked in, the guests of the teahouse looked over one after another and were very envious.

Talented men and women, concubines.... Chen Chao is a proper winner in life!

Alas~

Envy, jealousy, hate!

Chen Chao didn't know that he had inexplicably attracted a lot of hateful eyes, and he was still taking care of the two daughters, especially Ning Baizhi.

"I said, can we eat less? The roadside stalls are not very clean, so be careful of stomach upset. ”

Ning Baizhi didn't care at all, and pursed her lips, "There is a saying.... It's not clean, it's not sick after eating! ”

Song Qingwan saw the two bickering and covered her mouth and smiled.

Chen Chao looked at Ning Baizhi, who was feasting beside him, frowning, helpless.

Ning Baizhi wouldn't be a starving ghost, right?

"Really don't eat any more, be careful of eating bad stomach." There was no way for Chen Chao to solve the problem at the root, reaching out and putting away all the snacks on the table.

Who knew that Ning Baizhi immediately lit up her little tiger teeth, grabbed Chen Chao's arm and was about to bite it down.

"Whew...."

Chen Chao hurriedly withdrew his hand in fright.

"That's pretty much it..... Hum. Ning Baizhi wrinkled her nose and returned victorious, sitting on a stool and swaying from side to side, looking like a victor.

The two were playing, but Song Qingwan's eyes turned to the window, and after a while, she reached out and grabbed Chen Chao's sleeve, pointed forward, and asked, "Xiangye, what are you doing there?" Why are there so many people around? ”

Chen Chao followed Song Qingwan's point, raised his eyes, and saw a high platform set up in the open space not far from the street, about half a person high, and the people gathered around the high platform, holding silver taels in their hands, as if they were snapping up something.

"Yang Kee Perfume?" Song Qingwan saw a banner pulled on the stage, muttered, and her eyes became confused.

As far as she knew, perfume was very popular with ladies and ladies of princely and aristocratic families as soon as it was launched, and the price of a small bottle of perfume was as high as one hundred and fifty taels, which was still in short supply.

Yeung Kee perfume?

Is that Yang Ji? The largest spice producer in Beijing? Uncle Yang's?

Something is wrong, Song Qingwan shook her head.

She knew that the perfume was made by Chen Chao, but Chen Chao and Uncle Yang Guo did not agree, so how could he hand over the perfume to Yang Ji to sell?

Song Qingwan glanced at Chen Chao beside her suspiciously, Chen Chao took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes and said lightly: "It seems that Yang Ji has also researched perfume and came to steal business with us." ”

After speaking, Chen Chao put down his teacup and looked carefully towards the street.

Yeung Kee Perfume!

Four large characters are printed on the banner, which is extremely eye-catching and dazzling.

On the high platform, an old shopkeeper took the perfume developed by Yang Ji, and was selling, and the one with the highest price got it, because the perfume opened a certain popularity in the early stage, so Yang Ji's perfume sold very quickly, and the selling price was also very high, which had far exceeded one hundred and fifty taels, and finally reached a high price of two hundred taels.

Ordinary people definitely can't afford it, so they can only gather around to see the excitement, and the crowd that buys Yang Ji perfume is almost all a small guy sent by a high-ranking family.

They snapped up a bottle of perfume and paid for it with one hand and delivered it with the other.

After getting the perfume, they left in the wind, presumably to go back to give their master.

In this moment, more than a dozen bottles of Yang Kee perfume were sold, and the business was very good.

"What are they?"

"There is nothing strange about the normal competition between businesses." Chen Chao was calm.

But Song Qingwan still can't help but be a little worried, as the daughter of the former head of the household, she has her own unique views on Shangjia, and the Yang family is clearly the profit of the red perfume, so she follows the trend and sells the same products.

"But how do they know how the perfume is made? Those weird jars, bottles, and distillations, the process is very complicated. ”

Song Qingwan knows how perfume is made, these are the painstaking work of Chen Chao, if there is no guidance, the Yang family will not be able to get it in their lifetime, and the Yang family can launch perfume in such a short time, it must be ...... Thief.

Chen Chao didn't explain, just smiled.

Song Qingwan was stunned and looked at the smile on the corner of Chen Chao's mouth.

Every time Chen Chao had this kind of smile on his face, it meant that others were going to be unlucky.

Don't?

Song Qingwan looked at Yang Ji Perfume on the side of the street again, and silently mourned for them in her heart.

……

……

Yang House.

The eldest young master of the Yang family, Yang Zonghong's arm was not yet well, and he was hung on his chest, and his arm was easily pinched off by Yingying, and he suffered a comminuted fracture.

Now, the eldest young master is sitting comfortably on the Taishi chair, just under the gatehouse of the Yang Mansion, today is the first day of the sale of Yang Ji perfume, and he can't wait to listen to the report of the achievements of the various shopkeepers.

Chen Chao's perfume sells very well, and his perfume must not be bad, or even go to the next level.

The dog-legged housekeeper waited beside Yang Zonghong, bending over with a smile on his face, "The eldest young master is really a business wizard, he has figured out the secret recipe of perfume so quickly, with our Yang family operating in it, Yang Ji perfume must be the only one in the market, there is nothing to do with other perfumes." ”

Yang Zonghong smiled happily, "That's it, don't look at who Young Master Ben is." ”

Facts have proved that he did not listen to his father Yang Changye and made the most correct choice.

When he told his father Yang Changye about his idea and wanted to do a perfume business, he was met with the decisive refusal of his father Yang Changye.

Yang Changye said that the Yang family has already gained momentum, and its vision should be long-term.

Businesses such as salt and iron, Caoyun and so on are the focus of the Yang family's business in recent years, rather than watching others make a lot of money on perfume and give birth to red eyes, so that Yang Zonghong should not stick to this kind of small business.

The meaning is very clear, not to let Yang Zonghong do perfume business.

But how can Yang Zonghong be willing? The Yang family started with the spice business, became bigger and stronger, and only then did the current Yang family have it, once the perfume was launched, it seriously threatened the Yang family's spice hegemony, and Yang Zonghong couldn't watch and do nothing.

So, with Yang Changye behind his back, he first found a few incense masters and asked them to figure out the process principle according to the finished perfume to see if they could successfully copy the perfume.

But it failed, the masters said that it was very difficult, don't look at the perfume is just a simple liquid form, but without guidance, no one knows how the perfume is made.

Yang Zonghong did not give up, he took the finished perfume into the palace and found his aunt, that is, the Empress Dowager Yang.

Empress Dowager Yang is the Yang family, the level of incense making is the first in the world, Yang Zonghong originally thought that perfume would not be difficult for Empress Dowager Yang.

But the result disappointed Yang Zonghong again.

Empress Dowager Yang said she couldn't copy it.

Just as Yang Zonghong was about to give up this business and watched the supremacy of spices being snatched away by others, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and the first merchants to launch perfumes began to recruit workers.

In other words, as soon as you enter the perfume workshop, you have the opportunity to touch the heart of the perfume-making process.

Yang Zonghong saw hope, and that night, he didn't sleep all night.

Started a new round of his plan overnight.

Send commercial spies undercover in the opponent's perfume workshop to steal the secret recipe of perfume craftsmanship.

He did it!

The secret recipe was stolen, and he organized people to start producing perfume overnight!

The original perfume, but with the signature of Yang Kee, it has become Yang Kee perfume!

Yang Zonghong's mouth was about to burst with laughter.
