Chapter 226 Perfume is poisonous

Dongcheng and Xicheng have the same area, and both occupy the territory of two yards. Unlike the bustling city of Xicheng, Dongcheng seems to be subtle and restrained. The clean and wide streets, carved beams and painted buildings, and luxuriously decorated fragrant cars all show the value of the yard.

For the same size, the shops in Dongshi are only half that in Xishi. Not only because the shops in Dongshi are gorgeously decorated, they are also wide, wide and high, and are several levels higher than those in Xishi. Of course, the rent is several times higher than that in Xishi. Take the perfume shop for example. In the lower right corner of Dongshi, it is still a little far from the central area. The rent for a year is 2,000 taels. If you want to buy it, you cannot do it without 40,000 taels.

Guo Huaili brought a lot of silver notes. When he came, the three families agreed that they would not be short of money. There were rats and snakes and snakes. It was thanks to Yu Qingle that he could buy this shop in East City. More than ten years of experience in traveling to Kyoto made him very familiar with the market in Yongchang City and he knew exactly who to do what he wanted.

With this old horse, Guo Huaili quickly set up a balm shop that originally sold powder. He had to deal with his wife and lady because of the female shopkeeper and female clerk. Yu Qingle used to bring women to the store to buy powder, and was very familiar with the shopkeeper and clerk. After discussing, he simply stayed with the others.

These days, Yu Qingle has been busy organizing and having a lot of fun with Guo Huaili and Jiang Anyong. Yu Zhijie acquiesced to his son to go out early and return late. He has already talked with the third brother Zhihe of the capital, so the Yu family will be managed by Yu Qingle.

After learning about his father's plan, Yu Qingle was even more energetic. This perfume shop will be his own industry in the future. After hearing a few words from Fatty Guo, he said that the business is similar to picking money, and it is also in the palace. The background is strong, so I can wake up laughing when I dream.

When the goods entered the shop, Xu Anhu breathed a sigh of relief. The trip was 3,000 taels of silver. Huang Kailin smiled and greeted Guo Huaili, "Huaili, I have gained a lot of weight after not seeing you for a month. It seems that life in Kyoto is good." Jiang Anyong came over to see his uncle and cousin Huang Donghe, and introduced Yu Qingle next to him. Everyone said a few words and sat down to the back shop to rest.

"The perfume I brought this time is 14,000, divided into four types: rose, gardenia, lily, orchid, and a thousand bottles of wintersweet. The bottles are tied with red, white, blue, green, and yellow ribbons. Don't make mistakes when selling them." Huang Donghe is no longer a farmer in the countryside, and he calmly explained: "This time, he will be given a tribute palace with 500 bottles of various fragrance types. In half a month, Uncle Guo will take a batch of perfumes to Beijing. The fragrance will change at that time. When paying tribute, the model of perfume varies from person to person. After a year of trial, you can roughly determine the types and quantity of tributes."

After drinking a sip of water, Huang Donghe continued to explain: "An Yong, my aunt asked me to tell you that when you go back with my third uncle, there is no supervisor at home, so don't know how to play all day long."

Seeing Jiang Anyong's face collapse, Huang Donghe turned to Guo Huaili and said, "Brother Guo, you and I are going to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, and we will wait until the business in the shop is on track before going back."

"Okay", Fatty Guo is a stubborn master. He heard that he had half a year of happiness, so he nodded and agreed. Jiang Anyong rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Donghe, why don't I go back after the New Year with you?"

"No, my aunt specifically told you that if you dare not go back, you will ask your brother to beat you up." Huang Donghe smiled gloatingly.

Huang Kailin drank two cups of tea, cleared his throat and asked, "Huaili, when are you planning to open?"

"Today's fourth day, let's go to the sixth day." Guo Huaili replied with a brief calculation.

Huang Kailin nodded and turned to Xu Anhu and said, "Mr. Xu's escort, the shop will open in two days. You might as well play in Beijing for a few days. Then you can go home with us. Food and accommodation in Beijing will be considered in the store."

Only then did Xu Anhu realize that the goods transported were actually tributes. No wonder the Yu family mobilized many people. If they could establish a good relationship, this business alone would be enough to support Zhenwei Escort Agency halfway, so they agreed with a smile.

He sent someone to notify Jiang Anyi, but Jiang Anyi didn't know how to deliver the things to the palace. He had to go to the East Palace to tell the prince that he had sent several eunuchs in the palace. The leader of Eunuch Gao glanced at the silver notes handed over by Jiang Anyi and saw that it said "Two hundred taels of silver" on it.

Eunuch Gao quickly put the silver notes into his sleeve and smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, our surname is Gao, and we are the order of the palace. We come to receive the tribute by the Empress. In the future, if you have any questions, you can just send someone to the inner government bureau to find our house." As he said, he took out a wooden sign the size of a palm from the sleeve and handed it to Jiang Anyi and said, "This is a tribute sign. With this sign, you can directly send tribute to the inner government bureau. The inner government bureau is next to Anfu Gate, and you will know it as soon as you ask."

After Eunuch Gao took the man away, Jiang Anyi handed the wooden sign to Yu Qingle and smiled: "Master Yu intends to ask Brother Qingle to manage the perfume business. You can keep this wooden sign for you. You can use it when dealing with Eunuch Gao in the future."

The small wooden sign became heavy. Yu Qingle, who had always been frivolous, took the wooden sign and wanted to smile at everyone. Somehow, the corners of his mouth were trembling and speechless.

Jiang Anyi solemnly bowed and said, "Those who have ambition will succeed, Brother Qingle will encourage him."

The sixth day of the lunar month opens, time is tight, and people don’t know about perfume yet, so everyone discusses how to quickly open up the situation. Yu Qingle smiled and said, “What’s the difficulty? I put on my perfume in the evening and went to the brothel to try it out for the girls I saw, and the reputation of keeping the perfume is greatly improved.”

A stone hit a thousand layers of waves, Yu Qingle's idea was praised by everyone. Guo Huaili said: "When you throw a bottle at the door of the store, it will be fragrant on the whole street."

Jiang Anyi remembered that he promised to return the perfume from Dong'er last time, so he asked to pack twenty bottles and said with a smile: "There will be a small gathering in Zechang Academy tomorrow. I will give out a few bottles and lend them their mouths to make a name for themselves."

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the perfume shop opened with the sound of firecrackers, and a group of customers flocked to the door. The price of 50 taels per bottle made many people afraid, but when someone started, the business was easy to do. Like a snowball, a cosmetic called "perfume" became popular in Kyoto.

Yu Qingle was very concerned about her business. She came early and came back late. When she saw the bottles of perfume her husband brought, Zhang Yuzhu relaxed her husband's control. Yu Zhijie was also very pleased to learn that her son was devoted to business. Although it was not the right way to study and make progress, she finally became better than wandering around.

After ten days, nearly 3,000 bottles of perfume were sold. What does it mean? The gross profit was 150,000 taels of silver. Yu Qingle was stunned when he looked at the bill. The business was good. Yu Qingle waved his hand, and the shopkeeper Yuan and the six maids both doubled their wages. This made several people feel pain and happy. The little waist twisted almost into a willow in the wind.

At about noon on the 17th, several fragrant cars came outside the store. Seven or eight women came down from the ground, surrounded by a young man in the Jinyi and entered the store. Manager Yuan had run a fragrant noodles shop in the capital for more than ten years and knew a lot about the people in the capital. When he saw the young man in the Jinyi, his face turned pale, his smile spread, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"Young Master Cheng, what fragrant wind has blown you. Please come inside, Ling'er, and make fragrant tea."

Mr. Cheng narrowed his eyes and slashed his chest on Manager Yuan's chest. He stretched out his hand and hugged Manager Yuan's small waist. He teased and said, "I haven't seen him for a day, like three autumns later. I haven't seen Manager Yuan for a while. Today I want to comfort my lovesickness."

The fragrant breeze of the handkerchief in the handkerchief Yuan whisked, and skillfully avoided Mr. Cheng's hand, and smiled sideways: "Mr. Cheng has been in the flowers for a long time, and there are flowers around him. Look, they are colorful and dazzling. How could I see my yellow-faced woman? Please sit in it. I have a delicious tea from my boss, and I will keep it for you."

"Can speak." Mr. Cheng closed the folding fan in his hand, frivolously picked up Manager Yuan's chin, and led the woman beside him to the quiet room inside.

Da Zheng did not have military achievements, and this Prince Cheng had an extraordinary origin. His father, Cheng Puyang, Duke of Wen, was called "Four Dukes" together with Duke of Shen, Duke of An, Duke of An, and Duke of former Duke of Li Zhirou. He had great military achievements and was in power in southern Xinjiang. The Duke of Wen had five sons, and all four sons died in the battlefield. The youngest Prince Cheng was born when he was nearly fifty years old. He loved treasures and was lawless. He was a very famous playboy in the capital. Wang Zhizhi and others were all inferior to him.

Manager Yuan carefully presented fragrant tea. The tea was Anlong tea, but a little wintersweet perfume dripped into the tea. Mr. Cheng picked up the tea, smelled it at the tip of his nose, and nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this fragrance is rare, and the color is also sloppy."

"This is the famous tea Anlong in Jiangnan that Master Hongxin of Mingpu Temple specially trained for Master Guangming. The yield is extremely low, and no one knows the name." Manager Yuan has been in business for many years, so of course he knows how to raise his identity.

After taking a sip, Mr. Cheng said lightly: "Well, the taste of monks is different from that of ordinary people. Just drink one or two sips occasionally. By the way, Manager Yuan, I heard that there is a new product in your store called perfume. Take dozens of bottles out and share it with the girls around me."

Manager Yuan asked the maid to bring five bottles of different types of perfume, with ribbons tied on the bottleneck, so he was not afraid of getting mixed up. Seeing that Mr. Cheng’s face showed unpleasant expression, Manager Yuan quickly explained: “Mr. Cheng, don’t be anxious. Rong Nu’s family will explain to you and all the girls. These five bottles of perfume are different, namely rose, gardenia, and lily…”

While explaining, Manager Yuan applied perfume on the wrists of the women with a small brush to let them try the fragrance. This one was called "This fragrance is in harmony with me, unparalleled in color", and the other was called "Young master, I want all these bottles", "My husband, do you smell it or not?" The group of female porridge porridge in the quiet room became a quarrel.

Mr. Cheng was pushed by the women and fell happily, and smiled and said, "No hurry, there are all, there are all. Manager Yuan, I will give me a hundred servings of each fragrance."

"Mr. Cheng, this perfume costs fifty taels per bottle, there are five types in total. Each hundred bottles will be five hundred bottles, a total of twenty-five thousand taels of silver. I wonder if I'm calculating it right?" Manager Yuan did not leave, but pretended to settle the accounts quietly and reminded.
