Chapter 80: Strange Goods

In many cases, high risk means high return, and the reason why Qian Duoduo risked the destruction of the fleet and died overseas to cross the ocean and go to the Great Food Country is precisely for this great benefit.

A successful businessman will not be ignorant of the words "strange goods can live", and it is no exaggeration to say that this half-cabin of spices brought by Qian Duoduo from the Great Food Country is more expensive than gold.

Especially for the female dependents of high-ranking officials and wealthy families, they live a life of clothes to stretch their hands, food to open their mouths, and fine clothes and food all day long, but they always have to find something to do when they are bored, and they will inevitably spend more effort on dressing up.

Therefore, this spice from the big food country is simply a drug for all kinds of "loser" women in this era, and it is something that is difficult to give up at all!

This can be seen from the eyes that almost turned into little stars after Yaoqin saw the spices, even her famous Oiran, let alone others?

But what he cared about most was not how popular the spice was, but how he came up with a brilliant idea to solve a problem that had been bothering him these days.

Before getting off the boat, Qiao Chenan said to Qian Duoduo: "Brother Qian, come to me in three days, I have something here, I believe you will definitely be very interested." ”

Qian Duoduo wondered when he heard this: "Oh, what is it?"

"Something more than ten times more profitable than spices!"

"What!?"

Qian Duoduo exclaimed, immediately looked him up and down a few times, and said with some suspicion: "Brother Qiao, don't bluff me!"

In his opinion, the profit of spices is already incredibly high, and what else in this world can be more than ten times more profitable than spices!?

Three days later, I saw what I saw. ”

Qiao Chen'an dropped such a sentence, didn't say anything more, and walked towards the inn, leaving Qian Duoduo with a curious look on his face, still standing in place.

With his foot strength, he had already returned to the inn in a short time, Huangfu Xuan lazily leaned on the head of the bed, basking in the sun without any image, and asked as soon as he saw him: "Brother Qiao, what are you doing, you haven't been seen all morning." ”

Qiao Chenan touched his head, pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "Go see a friend." ”

He beckoned again, "Come here, I'm going to give you a task now." ”

The sun shone on his face, and it was bright.

Hearing this, Huangfu Xuan hurriedly ran to his side, his little head was raised curiously, his bewitching fox eyes looked at him, and asked, "What task?"

"You go and help me pick a basket of flowers. At the end, he added, "Any flower will do!"

"What do you do picking flowers?"

Huang Fuxuan was puzzled, "Do you want to make osmanthus cakes?" It turns out that my sister often makes osmanthus cakes for me to eat!"

Qiao Chen'an was speechless for a while, crying and laughing, he knocked him the head, and pretended to scold: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, don't you look at what time it is, is there osmanthus?"

Huang Fuxuan hugged his head, his face was full of resentment, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's good if I go, what are you doing beating me!"

Ordered to go down to this matter, Qiao Chenan looked for a craftsman in the city again, and danced for a long time, before the other party understood what he wanted to do, Qiao Chenan specially ordered some details, and then returned to the inn.

If nothing else, the results should be seen in the next few days.

Early in the morning of the third day, Qian Duoduo came over, and as soon as they met, he asked: "Brother Qiao, it's the third day now, what do you want me to see, don't sell it." ”

Qiao Chenan didn't expect him to be so anxious, seeing his eager look, he said with a smile: "It's still early, Brother Qian, don't be anxious, let's have breakfast first!"

Qian Duoduo didn't follow, grabbed his sleeve, and said, "Don't hang my appetite, what the hell is it! I haven't even slept well in the past two days!"

After he returned from Ziliuyuefang, his mind was full of Qiao Chen'an's sentence "more than ten times greater than the profit of spices", at first he thought that Qiao Chenan was joking, but after thinking about it, he felt that Qiao Chenan was not like a person who would make such jokes, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in his heart: Could it be that what he said was true?

Although two days was short, it made him scratch his heart and lungs, and he couldn't even sleep well at night, and finally when it was the agreed time, how could Qiao Chenan delay it any longer.

Qiao Chen'an couldn't help but smile lightly when he saw him staring at two big dark circles under his eyes, unkempt, and tired on his face.

......

In the backyard of the inn, Qian Duoduo looked at a strange thing in front of him with a surprised face.

It was a semi-circular cauldron, tightly sealed, through a spiral-shaped conduit, through an iron box, and finally into a porcelain jar.

That's right, this strange thing in front of him is the simplest distillation device, and after Qiao Chen'an saw the spices purchased by Qian Duoduo yesterday, he had a big plan to make a fortune in his mind. If he can really succeed, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will only be a matter of ten days and a half a month for him.

Qian Duoduo wondered, "Brother Qiao, is this what you want me to see?" He suddenly had a feeling that he had been tricked, and his tone couldn't help but feel a little more dissatisfied.

Of course, Qiao Chenan knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Of course not." ”

After that, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and after opening it, the fragrance was suddenly permeated!

Qian Duoduo snatched the porcelain bottle in his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said in surprise: "What is this, how can it be so fragrant!?"

In fact, there was another sentence he didn't say, it was much more fragrant than the spices he brought back!

Qiao Chenan smiled: "This is called essential oil. ”

Qian Duoduo's eyes rolled, and he quickly swept over the strange device in front of him, and at the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the peach blossom petals soaking in the basin on the ground on the side, and thousands of thoughts turned in his heart, and suddenly looked at him with an incredible face, and said, "Brother Qiao, don't you tell me that this thing is made from these petals?!"

Qiao Chen'an nodded in his nervous gaze, the latter's body trembled obviously, he was stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did he come to his senses, and roared excitedly: "If this is true, it is really a profit more than ten times greater than the profit of spices!"

His eyes were even a little red, and he seemed to have seen that there were mountains of gold and silver beckoning to him not far away!

A smile appeared at the corner of Qiao Chen'an's mouth, Qian Duoduo's reaction was also his expectation, and when the latter gradually calmed down, he invited him to the house, and said with a smile: "Brother Qian, what do you think of this thing?"

Qian Duoduo took a few deep breaths, squeezed the porcelain bottle in his hand tightly, tried to calm himself down, looked at him with burning eyes, and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Qiao, just this small bottle of essential oil, the price is more than a thousand gold!"
