The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 212 Oral pleasure
After eating hot pot, everyone went home.

After Wen Jie was given a mouthful of chicken soup, her emotions temporarily stabilized and she would not commit suicide again in the short term.

Yue Wenxuan had to take advantage of this time to do something.

After returning home, he quickly possessed his figurine and found the secret incense formula of the Ji family that Ji Menghan gave him.

He couldn't take out the sandbox for this thing, but he could memorize the text on it and then copy it down outside the sandbox.

There is such a huge scroll of bamboo slips, but it can't even fill up a page of A4 paper if I copy it onto it.

Yue Wenxuan checked the time. It was still early, not even ten o'clock yet. He thought Wen Jie might not be asleep yet. He called her and said, "Brother Jie, are you still awake?"

Wen Jie: "How can I possibly sleep so early? Actually, I might not even be asleep at midnight. I've been suffering from insomnia lately. Mr. Liang said that if I can't pay back the 20 yuan, it might be reported on my credit report and I'll be labeled a deadbeat."

Yue Wenxuan: "Ahem! Although your shop is closed, you should still have a lot of unsold perfumes, spices, and other things at home, right?"

Wen Jie: "Well, what's wrong?"

Yue Wenxuan: "Do you have agarwood, sandalwood, and ambergris?"

Wen Jie: “Yes.”

Yue Wenxuan: "Very good, please wait for me for a moment, I'll take a taxi right over."

Going to a girl's house at 10pm was actually pretty stupid, but Jie Ge wasn't in a good mood and didn't think too much about it: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Ten minutes later, Yue Wenxuan sat on the sofa in Wen Jie's house.

Her family is not as wealthy as Yue Wenxuan's. Her parents are grassroots workers in Shuangqing City. They were unable to buy her a house as soon as she graduated like Yue Wenxuan's parents did, so she lives in her deceased grandmother's old house, an old residential building built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The floor area is only a few dozen square meters. When her grandmother was still alive, the house did not even have a separate toilet and kitchen, and she had to share the kitchen and toilet with the neighbors on the same floor.

Later, the country carried out shantytown renovation and renovated the old house. Independent kitchens and toilets were built, and an elevator was installed. This made the house livable, and she was able to move in after graduation. If there were no independent toilets and bathrooms, young people would be unlikely to be willing to live in it.

At this time, in this small room of dozens of square meters, except for the bed where she slept, the rest of the place was filled with perfumes, spices and other miscellaneous goods. Yue Wenxuan finally managed to sit down on the sofa.

Wen Jie was a little embarrassed: "There's not enough space at home. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Yue Wenxuan smiled: "It's okay. I'm inexplicably happy to have so many materials around me. I came to you to talk to you about investing. I want to invest in your perfume and spice business."

"Buy shares?"

Wen Jie was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "My store has closed down, why are you still investing in it?"

Yue Wenxuan: "That means you buy my shares. I know nothing about the perfume and fragrance industry. Now I want to do business in this area. I need someone who has done this business before to guide me into the industry. I don't trust other people, but I feel relieved if you, Jie Ge, come to guide me."

Wen Jie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly a look of emotion appeared on her face: "Old Yue, you are here to save me."

Yue Wenxuan: "Hey, why don't you believe me? I really want to do this business. I even have the ancient incense formula ready."

Wen Jie squinted her eyes...

Yue Wenxuan reached out and took out the A4 paper: "Let me tell you, this is a unique secret recipe, the kind that is passed down to sons and not daughters. The fact that I am willing to show it to you means I treat you as a close friend." This is not an exaggeration. Wen Jie also knows that the perfume formulas of major companies are confidential and would never be shown to others casually.

But she didn't really believe that Yue Wenxuan could come up with any decent formula, because he didn't have the technical experience in this area.

An A4 paper was placed in front of her.

She looked closely and saw agarwood, sandalwood, ambergris... and a bunch of other ancient spice names, many of which were also traditional Chinese medicine formulas.

"It does look like an aromatherapy formula," Wen Jie said, "but I don't know how effective it will be."

"The effect is great!" Yue Wenxuan chuckled. "I've smelled it. Not only does it smell good, it also has a refreshing effect. Of course, I'm not an expert in the perfume industry, so what I think smells good may be just an ordinary scent to you."

Wen Jie: "You'll know only after you try it. Let me take a closer look at the method."

She continued to look down along the A4...

The production of modern perfume is actually very complicated, and ordinary people really can't do it at home. But after she saw Yue Wenxuan's formula, she felt it was very simple, and the method used was not high-tech at all. Even many of the processes seemed a bit "rustic".

"This production method isn't difficult," Wen Jie said. "It doesn't even require any sophisticated machinery. It's all handmade, using all sorts of old tools... Wow, this is quite interesting."

Yue Wenxuan said: "Because my formula focuses on the concepts of 'traditional method', 'pure handmade', and 'healthy and green'."

Wen Jie nodded. "It's quite ancient indeed. If it smells good, coupled with the ancient method and pure handmade concept you mentioned, it would have a selling point."

Yue Wenxuan: "Brother Jie, I'll leave this formula with you. Take a look. Follow the process in the formula and make one yourself. Smell it and see if it smells good. If you, a professional, identify it as promising, I'll invest in it. You can invest in the technology, and we can start this business together. How about that? By the way, when you're making it, remember to take a video of the whole process. I'll need it for my commercials."

Wen Jie looked at him deeply and said, "You really are here to help me! You're taking a huge risk by doing this. If it weren't for helping me, you wouldn't have to do this. Just stick to your own media and do a good job. You can make tons of money."

Yue Wenxuan spread his hands and said, "I want to develop my own media, and I also want to do business. How can anyone complain about not making enough money? I haven't bought the large flat that my mother wants yet."

Wen Jie: “Thank you!”

Yue Wenxuan: "Just thanking you verbally is meaningless. At least show your love for me."

Wen Jie raised her eyebrows slightly: "I have liked you since high school. If you ask me to, I will do it."

Yue Wenxuan jumped up from the sofa and ran away.

Wen Jie: "Damn it, stop! Don't run! Is all you can do is talk big? And then you run away when the critical moment comes?"

"No wonder your nickname contains the word 'brother'. You really have the demeanor of a big brother. Is it okay if I'm wrong?" Yue Wenxuan disappeared in a flash.

Seeing him run away, Wen Jie also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she said "Xu", it was mostly joking. How could she care about these things now? If the debt problem was not resolved, let alone the love between the man and the concubine, even life would be meaningless.

She could also see that Yue Wenxuan was not the kind of person who only talked big. He chose to escape at this time to save her face.
