418, buyout Qingqin
On the first day of March, the sky was not yet bright, and the xylophone alley was shrouded in the mist of early spring.
Xiaoxiao wore a light blue Ruyi peony pattern Tonghai brocade cloak, a moon-white veil, and was waiting with Xiao Dier in front of the Wenjiaxiang Shop.
Behind Xiaoxiao, there was already a long queue.
These people are fans of the Wen family Xianglu. Every day on the first day of the even-month period, this scene of queuing up to bid for Xianglu will be staged in front of the Xiangshou.
"Luckily, we will be here at the fifth day of the day, otherwise we will not be in front of us." Behind Xiaoxiao, there was a woman wearing a veil of lotus roots, with only a pair of energetic big eyes exposed.
Xiaoxiao stretched out her neck and looked at a middle-aged wife in the middle of the long queue. She couldn't help but say, "It's just that thanks Aunt Wei, I'll get up early today."
The girl with a veil in the lotus color smiled and said, "My mother has always gotten up early." It turned out that this person was Ruicai.
Standing behind Ruicai, a tall woman wearing a pink veil: "I rarely wear a veil, and I feel so suffocated."
Ruicai looked at Dan Tai Furong who was talking: "Who asked you to bring double layers, you must be so nervous."
Tan Tai Furong hurriedly booed: "You can't let others see the girl from Taoyedu come to Wenjia Xiangshang to buy Xianglu! And you can buy so much as you buy!"
Ruicai shook her head and smiled, "I said I'd like to send a girl here!"
Dan Tai Furong stood up straight and elegantly brushed the colorful skirt with the golden phoenix tail satin: "That won't happen. I have to accompany you. In terms of the ability to show off my wealth, who can compare with me, Dan Tai Tianmei!"
This time, people behind him booed: "Shut up, people have heard your name."
This man did not wear a veil, and was wearing a silver-gray Hu suit inlaid with black pearls. It was Nijie. Behind Nijie was Shu Yan, who was rarely wearing a cloak embroidered with rich bamboo. Behind Shu Yan were also several gorgeously dressed girls or young men. Xiaoxiao recognized that one of them was Xizi's girl Huanshi, and the other was Fu Zhu...
As soon as the hour of the year arrives, the door of the incense shop is open as promised.
Xiaoxiao is the closest "customer" to the gate. Behind her, the long team occupied almost half of the xylophone alley.
Xiaoxiao did not enter the door directly, but stood at the door, looking at the familiar friend in front of him, Xizi and Zishu who were personally receiving everyone, and said loudly: "I wonder if the goods I want are ready?"
"Miss Ying's goods are ready! The top ten bottles of 'Chunchuan' and 'Qingqin'!" The guy also said loudly, his voice so loud that the team behind him could hear it.
The team soon started to talk about it. Top ten bottles? Top fifty bottles? Did this girl use it to drink when buying Xianglu?!
This big bottle of fragrant dew costs ten taels of silver, and sixty bottles are six hundred taels! You can’t make this if you have money.
Tang Xiaoxiao's act of a rich man made everyone feel like they would appreciate Wen Xizi.
Then Wen Xizi smiled and said, "Miss Ying wants to go back to Chang'an to visit relatives, so of course she has to bring more gifts. But the little girl didn't expect that Miss Ying has so many sisters!"
Everyone complained in their hearts, yes, there are so many girls in the Ying family! So many girls use fragrance together, how does the fragrance look like in the family?
And, why do you want so much "Qingqin"? You have bought it all, and it's our turn to be gone?!
"Miss Ying" happened to say: "I used your trial suit before, and I really like the 'Qingqin' fragrance of flowers and fruits! Especially the smell of gardenia at the end, it smells very good! Our group of sisters are all lively girls, especially suitable for these sweet fragrances! "Chunchuan" is also good, and it is more suitable for girls with elegant temperament!"
Everyone looked at "Miss Ying" handed over a large silver note to the client, and then received a refined fragrant dew box, which was probably neatly packed with fragrant dew. It was really enviable.
When the Ying girl wearing a veil and the girl Niaoniao left, someone in the team asked curiously: "Where did you smell the trial fragrance? Why didn't we see the sale?"
The trial fragrance of Wenjia Xianglu will not be announced in advance, for the sake of this mystery waiting to be revealed.
Xiaoxiao made up a lie: "I am a lucky reader of "Like Self-Reading" magazine. I was lucky enough to get a chance to draw after collecting a thousand magazines. This time the gift was the newly launched Xianglu by the Wen family!"
Xiaoxiao's words were soon spread in the team, and the spread became more and more outrageous, and finally evolved into "collecting 100,000 copies of "Pleasing Oneself" and perhaps you can experience the Wen family fragrance in advance."
Everyone glared at Xiaoxiao's back with hatred eyes, and continued to wait for their own bottle of fragrant dew.
The woman in a purple shadow and gold dress who was lined up behind the Ying girl opened her mouth and asked for ten bottles of fragrant dew.
Then there was the tall girl wearing a colorful phoenix-tail skirt. She was dressed very exaggeratedly and her voice was exaggerated: "If the 'Qingqin' fragrance is the fragrance of flowers and fruits, that would be great! I want a hundred bottles! My world cannot do without fragrance! I have to use it in the house, the yard, the garden, and the carriage! My territory must be fragrant everywhere!!"
Dan Tai Furong ignored everyone's fire-breathing eyes and asked several girls to leave with a bottle of orange-pink mountain fragrance bottles.
Dan Tai Furong also felt a little sweaty in her heart, and told the girls to be careful when walking and not to hit Xianglu bottles. The reason was only known by herself: the bottles of Xianglu were small after falling down. The problem was that these bottles were all filled with clear water, and they were simply a hundred bottles of fakes that confused the public.
Everyone who has been successfully confused by the audio-visuals: Forget it! No matter how rich you have, you can't hide your vulgarity! You don't deserve to use our fragrance dew! You don't deserve to use the fragrance dew with gentle shoes!
With the appearance of Dan Tai Furong, the "family nursery" behind them are not too exaggerated, ranging from five bottles to more than ten bottles. Gradually, I bought "Qingqin" almost the same.
Ruicai's mother, Mrs. Wei, smiled and asked everyone to bring up ten bottles of Xianglu and leave, and all the "raw meat" was left in the team behind.
The girl in the back said happily: "I want two big bottles each!"
Xizi lowered his head slightly to him and said, "This girl is really embarrassed. The large bottle of 'Qingqin' Xianglu has been sold out, and now only small bottles are left."
The girl was a little disappointed: "A large bottle is equivalent to ten small bottles, so I'll want ten small bottles first!"
The team behind heard that they had sold out the big bottle of Xianglu, and finally couldn't help but feel anxious: "No! You have bought dozens of bottles in front of you, so won't you sell them all here when we come here!!"
"That's it! From now on, everyone can only buy a small bottle of 'Qingqin'!" People have proposed it one after another, and it is so excited.
The girl who bought Xianglu finally gave in helplessness: "Then... I'll ask for a small bottle of 'Qingqin' first, and I'll buy it later."
Xizi had no choice but to laugh and said, "I'm afraid everyone will have to wait a few days. The gardenia used in this sweet dew is a special variety in the southern country. The journey is long, so please wait patiently."
Everyone was disappointed and couldn't help but look forward to this fragrance.
Xizi ordered the guys to distribute incense test paper to every customer in the team. Smelling the pleasant fragrance, everyone's waiting was less boring.
Sure enough, as soon as I got the incense test paper, most of the people became more and more pleasant. Some were savoring the fragrance carefully, while others discussed and analyzed the characteristics of these two fragrance dews with others in the team. In short, the atmosphere eased a lot.
In fact, the so-called "special variety of gardenias in the southern country" mentioned by Xizi is the common small-leaf gardenia, which tastes more clear and fragrant than the large flowers and sparrow tongue. Even so, Zishu only added an extremely trace amount of gardenia dew to the remaining dozens of bottles of "original fragrance dew", for fear of diluting the freshness of peach and apricots, so he added a very small amount of white peach and green apricots.
Indeed, under these many changes, the "Qingqin" that people buy today has turned into another taste, at least getting rid of the stagnation of sandalwood, keeping the lightness of the flower and fruit fragrance dew, but losing the purity of the peach and apricot fragrance dew.
There is no way, Wen Zhi? Mastering the original recipe of this fragrance, what the Wen family has to do at this moment is that even if the taste is subverted, they must not be led by the nose.
However, the road ahead is still at a loss. Although the current "Qingqin" will not be controlled by Wen Zhi, Zishu and others cannot know its entire formula.
The only turning point at this moment was that Wen Xixiu once took this fragrance dew as an example and personally led the familiar comparison between Canaan and Zishu's flower fruit fragrance dew, which made each of these two apprentices master half of the formula. And Wen Zhi didn't happen to know about these.
This should be a great blessing in disguise.
"In other words, as long as we find Canaan, we can recreate this fragrance dew." Xiaoxiao asked Zishu like this.
Zishu nodded: "After reappearing the fragrance dew, we will gradually add trace amounts of gardenia, green apricot and white peach according to the results we have prepared all night, and the fragrance dew is completed."
Therefore, I can only carry it with this "Qingqin" who has filled more than 400 small bottles. In order to delay time, I pretended to let those "rich" buy out the so-called large bottle of Qingqin Xianglu, and fabricate the lies of the special gardenia in the south...
Xizi took a long breath: "What should we do in the future? In April, our highlight "Four Beauties" will appear in whose shop..." Xizi never believed Wen Zhi? He would make trouble in it, "Maybe, I left because of the urgent situation, so I didn't have time to tell us."
Xiaoxiao hopes that is the case, but it is obvious that this idea is too naive.
Zishu was speechless for a while.
Several people were standing speechlessly when they suddenly saw another perfumer, Yuelin, running in and said, "Zhu family! It's the Zhu family!"
"Zhu Family? Xiangfen Zhu Family?" Xizi asked in confusion. The Zhu family was not unfamiliar with it. Because he had talked with Wen Xixiu about purchasing Xianglu from the Wen family, Wen Xixiu always wanted to be pure, so he did not agree.
"What kind of fragrant dew has the Zhu family launched?!" Zishu asked.
"Ice melts, harmony, and the sound of flowers." Yuelin said word by word, with indignation in his voice.
Bing Rong and Hua Sheng, these two fragrant lusters originally formed the four styles planned by Chunchuan and Qingqin, but because they considered the highlight of the next issue, they were reduced to two.
Wen Zhi once repeatedly emphasized this point to Xiaoxiao.
It turns out that it is useless.
Yue Lin took out two snow-white porcelain bottles from his arms. Although they were not as transparent and intuitive as the glass bottle, they were also shiny and cute.
"My fourth brother has applied for the first production company, so other incense shops are not qualified to use it. No wonder, my brother has been saving expenses recently and let less work on the bottle..." Xizi murmured to himself, "We have no prescriptions. If there is no bottle, the Wen family's fragrant lotus will be gone."
Xiaoxiao had already opened the small white porcelain bottle in front of him, and a stream of aquatic flowers soaked with frost and snow gradually spread. This is "ice melting". The idea of this fragrance dew was mostly from Wenzhi?, while Wen Xixiu added the smell of frost and snow to this aquatic flowers.
Zishu was holding another white porcelain bottle, a small white bottle in the shape of a flower, and sniffed deeply: "It is the fragrance of night dew and magnolia, wave after wave of elastic flower fragrance, like petals falling from late at night. This is obviously our 'flower sound'! This elastic flower fragrance was mentioned by the Tang girl. It was studied by the master for half a year before gradually finding the feeling of wandering fragrance."
Gradually, no one spoke, and everyone fell silent.
Xizi was suddenly forced to accept this fact, and felt like he was suddenly slapped. At this moment, he was sitting softly on the chair with a blank expression.
"I think their bottles are not good." Xiaoxiao raised her breath and suddenly said.
Everyone looked up and smiled, but still said nothing.
Xiaoxiao continued stubbornly, as if talking to himself, and as if trying to boost morale: "If I were to design it, even without a glass bottle, the porcelain bottle can be unique. For example, 'Ice Melt', we can make the cap of the snow-white porcelain bottle into the shape of a snowflake, and the body of the bottle is an abstract small snow hill; if it is the sound of the flower, I will use a black purple glaze bottle, and then hand-paint a tree of white magnolia on it, and the petals fall in the wind."
These ideas are pretty good, but everyone has no time to analyze these things at this moment. What is the use of the bottle? What does it have to do with us? These two bottles of fragrant dew no longer belong to us.
Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and called everyone's attention: "I want to say that our imagination never stops! Whether it is about bottles or smells, we can come up with better ones!" Xiaoxiao looked at everyone's eyes, "We have many semi-finished products developed by Brother Wen back then, and some finished products that he has not shown to everyone! More importantly, there are you."
Xiaoxiao looked at Zishu and Yuelin: "Second Brother Wen once said that Zishu has the most solid basic skills and amazing perseverance; Yuelin's thinking is the most jumpy and can often make up unexpected and strange fragrances; and Canaan, he is the most talented perfumer, who can distinguish thousands of extremely similar smells."
