More than a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Hancui stood in front of Yan Sanlang.

After not seeing her for many days, the little girl was a little more restrained, and saluted and thanked Yan Saburo, but she didn't know what to say. She was deducted from her life by Hongwu for a few years and then fell ill, just when the army returned to the capital, Shi Congyi cared about Yan Saburo's face and asked the military doctor to give her a good life to recuperate.

When she arrived in Shengyi, she was fine, and she was originally young and had a good foundation, so she seemed to be fine at this time, and she was still a little girl.

The white cat lying next to the young man suddenly spoke: "Come here, try the incense powder on the table." ”

Zhang Hancui coldly heard a female voice and took a step back in fright. Huang Da hurriedly supported her: "Don't be afraid, it's the hostess." ”

There was no fourth person in this hall, Zhang Hancui's eyes fell on the white cat, and her small mouth opened into a "0" shape: "This, this cat is a thousand adults?"

"You should call me Chitose-sama. "What is your name Qian, is her surname Qian?

After seeing many strange things in Sanjiao Town, Zhang Hancui's calm kung fu has greatly improved, and he finally came back to his senses quickly, and called out in a soft voice: "Chitose Lord." ”

"Surprised by what?" Chitose laughed, "Have you ever seen what Huang Da Ye looks like?"

"See, see. Zhang Hancui subconsciously glanced at Huang Da, "I already know." ”

After getting along for a long time, this kind of secret can't be hidden. She originally wondered why it wasn't dark yet, and Huang Da was going to urge her to rush back.

"You're not afraid?"

Zhang Hancui bit her lip: "As long as it's not that monster in Sanjiao Town, I'm not afraid." "She, she's well-informed now, and the weasel demon can't scare her.

"Come up and try it. "There are a couple of delicate boxes on the table. The white cat stood up and pressed its paws against the box.

Since Zhang Hancui is bound to Invite Jingyuan, and she will have to make incense for her deputy later, there is no need to hide her secret from the little girl.

Zhang Hancui picked up the boxes and opened them one by one, sniffed them carefully, and then picked a little more and applied them to the tiger's mouth.

The white cat motioned to Yan Saburo and Huang Da: "You guys also come and smell it." ”

One man and one weasel stepped forward and did so.

Chitose asked them, "I messed up the box, can you sniff out the difference?"

Yan Saburo sniffed again, and glanced at Huang Da: "It's very fragrant." ”

"What else?"

They shook their heads together and were particularly honest.

Isn't it just the aroma of fat powder?

The cat turned to ask Zhang Hancui: "Did you sniff out, but it's the same size?"

The little girl said: "Although it is somewhat similar, it is not produced by one family." ”

"Oh?" the white cat looked at the boxes of different colors, his tail bent, "can tell?"

Zhang Hancui picked out two boxes and put them aside: "These two boxes have a timeless aroma, but after sticking to the skin, they turn light." ”

She pointed to the remaining two boxes: "The aroma of these two boxes, at first smell, is very similar to them, but in fact it is more dull." This is a bad material, and the technique is also lacking. ”

Chitose was satisfied: "These are the two most popular fat powders in Tianfulou, and there are imitations on the market. The price of the original product is 300 Wen, and the imitation is only 70 Wen. Although there are subtle differences in ingredients and aromas, most people will not be able to distinguish them. After that, he glanced at Yan Saburo.

Apparently he was one of the majority, and Yan Saburo scratched his head innocently. If Chitose asked him to tell the age of the herbs and the wine, he would be fine, and as for the powder, he had never cared, and it was not easy to distinguish which floral fragrance it was.

"Okay, you can be my deputy, and you don't have to go to Guangyuan Bridge. The cat tilted its head, "I don't have hands during the day, so you have to mix them for me." The shop of Tianfu Building cannot be shut down, and the new fat powder must be taken out within three days. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Hancui was nervous and excited. Huang Da looked at her and suddenly said, "Actually, there is another way, you can save the guests in a short time." ”

"Oh?" Chitose squinted at him, "Tell me about it." ”

"In Guangyuan Bridge, most of the street sells fat powder, but Xiaocui's business is good. Before anyone else sells out, we're going to close the stall. "Huang Da has observed the past few days and has experience," I concluded that she is good-looking. ”

Zhang Hancui's little face turned red all of a sudden: "Brother Huang, don't talk nonsense!" In front of the Chitose Adult, how can she be ranked!

"What nonsense!" Huang Daqi said, "The other stall owners are all red-eyed, and they are still saying bad things about you behind their backs." ”

He turned to Chitose and said: "More than half of the people who come to buy fat powder are men, and they are very happy to pay for it, and they all say that they want to buy it and give it to their own families, either a lady or a sister-in-law, a sister or a daughter." ”

Chitose understood: "You mean, Xiao San can hire more beautiful girls to sell fat powder in Tianfu Building?"

"yes, yes. "The hostess's comprehension skills have always been a perfect score.

Zhang Hancui whispered: "This, this is not very good, right?" Is this really selling fat powder?

Yan Saburo nodded: "Maybe it's okay." In addition to being beautiful, you should also be articulate, and then use the things of the Tianfu Building, which can increase the goodwill of the guests. ”

"There are few female customers, and so are male customers. You can sell it!" The white cat's tail flicked around behind his back, "Huang Da, you finally have ivory in your mouth." ”

Huang Da was very happy. Zhang Hancui looked at him, then at the two masters of Invite Jingyuan, and swallowed back his words silently.

Yan Saburo was asking the white cat, "How many fennel ants do you have now?"

"It's only four or five thousand, and I haven't paid much attention to them. Chitose thought for a moment, "You give me the small greenhouse in the northwest corner as an ant house, and I'll see if I can make the population grow faster, so that I can catch up with the sales of fat powder in the future." ”

Zhang Hancui blinked, and listened to Huang Da give her popular science: "The hostess wants to grind ants into powder and mix them into spices." This is top secret, and you must not divulge it. ”

“...... Good. "What else can she say? Chitose-sama often brings huge surprises (fright).

"Come with me. The white cat jumped off the table and trotted, its tail standing up like a little flagpole. Finally something to do!

It moved too fast, and Zhang Hancui had to speed up his pace to keep up.

One person and one cat, there is no shadow in a blink of an eye.

"Li Kailiang will come over tomorrow, you can go to Tianfu Tower with him." Yan Saburo waved Huang Da away, turned around and went to the study.

With a new assistant on board, the cat rushes to do the experiment. With his knowledge of Chitose, he won't see her for at least half a day.

He sighed, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then sat down behind his desk and took out a book:

"The Biography of Lou Shiliang".

This is a book he just borrowed from Chongwen Hall a few days ago, and the author is Li Helin.

Regarding Lou Shiliang's biography, he has read a lot in the Chongwen Palace, most of which were written by later generations.
