I asked the rickshaw pullers if there were any chemical stores in the city. They all shook their heads. Chemicals are definitely a high-end thing these days. Most people have never heard of them. Finally, a rickshaw puller said: "Sir, I remember there is one."

There is a shop, opened by foreigners, that seems to sell the things you mentioned, but it is far to the east of the city."

"I'll give you enough fare." Jiang Hao said and got on the rickshaw.

The rickshaw started running quickly, running through the streets and alleys, running half the city, and finally arrived at the door of a store called "George Chemical Store".

One look at the name and it seems likely that it was opened by a foreigner.

Walking into the store, the store was deserted, with no customers at all. There was only one clerk lying on the counter and dozing off. Jiang Hao walked over and quietly touched the table. The clerk woke up and looked at Jiang Hao and said quickly: "Sir, I want some."

What."

Jiang Hao named a lot of chemical terms. Some of the clerks knew it, some felt specious, and some had never heard of it. The clerk said with a suppressed face: "I'm sorry, sir, I've only been here for three months, and some of the things are not very good."

I understand, how about I ask my boss."

"Okay, tell your boss, this is a long-term business, I just want to talk to your boss in person." Jiang Hao said.

The clerk ran upstairs and soon brought down a foreigner with brown hair and blue eyes. This guy looked to be in his thirties, but the foreigner's head was wearing a Chinese gown. He looked nondescript. After seeing Jiang Hao, he used a very lame expression.

The Chinese said, "Ni Hao, what do you want?"

Jiang Hao almost stopped laughing and said in English: "We can communicate in English."

When the foreigner heard that the person opposite could speak English, he immediately smiled and said in English: "I am an American. My name is George. George Lee. Oh, your English is really standard. Have you ever studied in the United States?"

"No, I taught myself." Jiang Hao said.

"Oh my god, you are such a genius. I have been learning Chinese by myself for more than a year, but I can only understand some of the daily expressions."

The two chatted for a while, and George asked: "By the way, what do you want, please say it again. My guy doesn't know much about chemistry. You know, there is almost no chemistry in China."

Jiang Hao once again said what he wanted to buy. George was much better than the guy. He quickly gave the answer, some yes, some no. Jiang Hao looked at the chemical list and considered it, and finally selected some.

With these things, Jiang Hao can make several liquor additives he needs, which are enough to make his own wine aromatic and delicious.

After writing a list, the boy went to prepare things. George took Jiang Hao to sit down and continued chatting. Maybe it was because no one had spoken his native language to him for a long time, which gave this guy a great desire to communicate, so he kept talking.

Said absolutely.

"You know, I used to run a chemical store in the United States, but then the economic crisis and the demand for industrial products dropped sharply, and my store was losing money every day, which made me sad."

financial crisis?

Oh, America's Great Depression.

Jiang Hao remembered.

"Later, my cousin Baker wrote to me and said that he was in China. China is an uncultivated virgin land and there are a lot of opportunities here. By the way, my cousin is Professor Rohato's secretary. Rohato

The professor is an economist and the economic adviser to your Chairman Chang."

Hearing that name, Jiang Hao's heart jumped unconsciously.

"With such a relationship, I felt that I could do a lot, so I said goodbye to my wife Susanna, took all my belongings and came over, and worked on the ship for 24 days. You know, the life of wandering at sea is not easy."

"But after I came here, I discovered that this place has indeed not been cultivated, but it is also too desolate. It is so desolate that few people use chemicals. They only need the most common ones, such as acids and alkalis, and others.

No one cares about it at all, and a lot of my stuff is backlogged there.”

"Look here, there is often not a single customer coming in for a day. At first I wanted to open the store in Shanghai or Nandu, but my cousin disagreed. He said it was not safe there and it would be better to open it in an inland city. I

That’s why I came to Chengdu.”

"But the business here is really not that good, which makes me very leisurely. I finally learned to drink tea and listen to music." After saying this, he approached Jiang Hao and said, "Then I saw a beautiful lady who was an opera singer.

, I wanted her to be my girlfriend, you know, later she took the initiative and told me that she wanted to be my concubine."

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Jiang Hao, "Chinese women are very gentle and good at serving others. I feel like I can't live without her."

"What about your wife Susanna?" Jiang Hao asked.

George shrugged, "You know, being alone outside is very lonely. I love Susanna, but I am also very lonely. I don't think this is betrayal. You are also a man, what do you think."

Jiang Hao's own buttocks were not clean either. He nodded and said, "I think it shouldn't be counted."

George smiled and clapped his hands, "Man, I think we can be friends."

When men talk about women, it becomes easier to communicate with them as long as they are not love rivals.

"By the way, Jiang, the guy said you want to cooperate for a long time. That's great. I can give you a discount. It's 95% off now. The more you use it in the future, the greater the discount will be."

Jiang Hao smiled, "That's great, George."

The man had prepared everything. There were a dozen raw materials in total, many of which were packaged in glass bottles, and there were also a bunch of beakers, reagent bottles, etc. These were tools for making additives, and they were wrapped in straw mats and made very fine.

"George, I'm going to go to other places to buy some gifts for my wife. I'll put them here first and take them away when I come back from shopping," Jiang Hao said.

"no problem."

Jiang Hao said goodbye to George and drove to Chunxi Road. Chunxi Road was named in 1924 and is known as the Centenary Golden Street. It is the most prosperous street in Chengdu. There are silk and satin shops, jewelry shops, leather goods shops, and shopping malls on both sides of the street.

They are everywhere. Walking on this street, its bustling feeling is comparable to that of the pedestrian streets of later generations.

A sound came from a distance, and Jiang Hao saw a tram approaching. Because it made a clanging sound from time to time, the locals called it a tram.

Walking into a shopping mall, it was as spacious as the shopping malls of later generations. Jiang Hao walked around and stopped in the jewelry section. He found that the things here were very expensive. Not to mention the emerald and jade jewelry, even a piece of gold jewelry was valuable.

It's not cheap, and he can't afford it now.

When he came to the cosmetics area, the cosmetics were now very complete, including cream, talcum powder, shampoo, perfume, and lipstick. Jiang Hao stopped at the lipstick counter, picked up a few and looked at them, and found that they were all foreign brands.

"Sir, do you want to buy a lipstick for your wife? This is the American "Danqi". It has the latest rotating design. When applied on the mouth, it can definitely double the beauty of a woman. Look at my lips, this is what I applied.

Some lipstick." The waitress pouted slightly as she spoke.

"How much does this cost?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Five oceans," the waitress said lightly.

Holy shit, just a lipstick like this costs 5 oceans. Do you know how much food can be bought with 5 dollars? Do you know that 5 dollars can be enough for a family to live for half a month? I can make it for you with 5 dollars.

Bring out a basket?

Jiang Hao can do this himself.

Making lipstick is not complicated, it can be said to be very simple. There are many videos of making lipstick on the Internet. There are hundreds of different recipes. They are sold directly in Weixin, and they cost only a few yuan each.

"Okay, give me one." Jiang Hao took out 5 silver dollars and handed it to the waiter.

Back at the chemical store, Jiang Hao asked if George was there. The clerk said that he had taken his concubine to listen to music, and he was living a more relaxed life than a time traveler like himself.

Thinking of the lipstick in his hand, Jiang Hao walked around the store and bought a few more things. Then he called a coachman and took his things to the inn.

The next day, Jiang Hao got up in the morning, hired a car, and took everything back to the county town. As soon as he got home, Jiang Hao vacated the east wing and turned it into a laboratory. Although the laboratory looked too

It is simple, with only some flasks, reagent bottles and two stoves.

But simplicity does not mean simplicity, and your career starts from here.

At this moment, a dark and muscular guy knocked on the door of Jiang Hao's house. He opened the door and saw the person coming with two packs of snacks in his hand. Jiang Hao asked with a smile: "Chef Fang, I don't run your restaurant."

, why did you come to me?"

The person who came was none other than Fang Dazheng, the owner of the small restaurant where Jiang Hao took Jiu'er for dinner the day before yesterday.

Boss Fang smiled and said, "Boss Yu, I'm here to learn from you."

Ever since he ate boiled fish yesterday, Fang Dazheng has been thinking about it. He felt that if he could learn that dish, his business would definitely boom, so he started to learn the art.

I had been thinking about it all day yesterday, and finally came to my door today.

"Studying skills is fine, but how do we settle the score?" Jiang Hao asked.

Fang Dazheng also knew that learning skills is not that simple, and said: "I have prepared a gift of 30 yuan, and I just want to learn the boiled fish dish made by Boss Yu. Do you think it can be done?" He put a money bag on the table.

superior.

30 yuan is already a lot.

Jiang Hao immediately wrote down the recipe for boiled fish and the cooking details and gave them to Fang Dazheng. He paid 30 yuan in exchange for a piece of paper, not knowing whether he had lost or gained.

Just when Fang Dazheng was about to leave, Jiang Hao said: "By the way, I also know a lot of other dishes, which are not as delicious as boiled fish, such as pickled fish and so on."

Fang Dazheng almost fell down.

After Fang Dazheng left, Jiang Hao started tinkering with alcohol additives based on his memory. Although he failed twice, he succeeded in the end.

Jiu'er also came to see him, but she couldn't understand what the man was doing at all, but she knew that the man must be doing something important. She was uneducated and couldn't help the man, so she should serve him well.

He was fed and fed every day, except that he was fed directly. At night, he was given a bath and his feet washed, and he was treated with great dedication. This kind of treatment was probably only available in ancient times.
