I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China
Chapter 374: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed and there is only half a month left until the Chinese New Year.
Lu Pingsheng was working diligently and was busy all the time, but Wei Miao was trapped in the villa reading and writing.
"I see you've become a lot fatter than before. When we go back, Auntie Yu won't blame me for kidnapping her big son."
Lu Pingsheng tied his tie skillfully and looked up and down at Wei Miao.
Wei Miao was holding the pineapple bun that Vanilla Sister had made for her. Her eyes curved after taking a bite of it.
"Brother Lu, are we going home?"
Lu Pingsheng knew that the kid missed his family, "Pack up the gifts for your family in the next few days. We will take the boat back in three days."
Wei Miao cheered slightly, then met Vanilla sister's resentful gaze and immediately stopped smiling.
Seeing Lu Pingsheng spraying perfume, he suddenly remembered something, "Brother Lu, wait for me."
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs.
Lu Pingsheng looked at her agile back, laughed and scolded her as "shrewd monkey", then sat on the sofa waiting.
After a while, Wei Miao came down with a small plate, on which was a covered test tube filled with translucent liquid.
"What is this?" Lu Pingsheng looked curiously at the more than twenty glass containers placed in front of him.
Wei Miao picked up one with a smile, looked at the number on it, and handed it to Lu Pingsheng.
"Brother Lu, can you smell it?"
Lu Pingsheng glanced at Wei Miao and had an idea in his mind. He picked up the glass test tube, removed the wooden stopper, and a rich aroma rushed straight to his head.
"Ahh~"
Lu Pingsheng turned his head and sneezed, feeling that the rich smell seemed to turn into substance, forming a taste and going straight into his mouth.
"Why does it stink so much?" Vanilla girl covered her nose.
Wei Miao looked at Vanilla with bright eyes and introduced:
"The flavor in this tube is extracted from whale feces. It is a bit smelly."
Unfortunately, humans like this taste and it is worth more than gold, so she likes it too.
Lupin sniffed, quickly put the cork back on, and confirmed:
“Is this the perfume you made during this time?”
Wei Miao nodded obediently, pointing at the glass test tubes and introducing them one by one:
"The row of strong men's perfumes in front are the scents that those foreigners in Durand use to suppress their body odor."
Lu Pingsheng's mouth twitched, but there was no need to say it so directly.
He sniffed the air carefully and was able to discern the top note of the fragrance, which was indeed the scent of ambergris.
Wei Miao squatted in front of the coffee table and enthusiastically promoted:
"The two rows at the back are for ladies. They are made from various scents that I have smelled on Miss Xu, Miss Bai, and Li Xiaoya. They are purified from flowers and blended with musk alcohol or something like that."
In order to create perfume, she not only studied the purification of chemicals and the preservation of flavors, but also specialized in the traditional Oriental methods of perfume making.
After all the materials were prepared, the process was incredibly simple. With her experience in making penicillin, she could make something fragrant by adding anything she wanted.
So she really didn't understand why a few milliliters of this kind of thing was so expensive as gold?
"Yes, this is for you."
Lu Pingsheng saw Wei Miao handing him a piece of white cardboard, "What is this?"
Wei Miao said with a grin, "Isn't this the incense card made of the incense in the pear tent you mentioned? It can be used when sleeping with a beautiful girl in the middle of the night."
Lu Pingsheng took the incense card and smelled a fresh and elegant fragrance. He felt angry and amused at the same time. He glared at her and said:
"You want to open a perfume factory?"
Wei Miao nodded heavily, looked at Lu Pingsheng expectantly and said:
"Such easy-to-earn money is like picking up money. You can't miss it, otherwise your conscience will hurt."
Seeing her covering her chest, Lupin was overjoyed. After he had laughed enough, he slowly opened his mouth and said:
"The Lou family has a floral water factory. I'll find someone to integrate it in the next few days to produce your perfumes..."
Wei Miao pushed the sample aside and said, "Then I'll give you the recipe."
The two of them worked together in perfect harmony, so there was no need to say much.
This month, Lu Pingsheng took over the power of the Lou family and made friends with the Governor's Office, greatly increasing his influence in Hong Kong Island.
Qi Men, who always asked Hong Xing for help in the past, came to his house several times with generous gifts, but he was too busy to meet them.
Today, Qimen got in touch with Chinese detective Wu Deyi and invited him to a gathering at Lianyun Tower.
Various Chinese forces gathered at this banquet, probably just to see who this young man who brought down the Lou family is.
Wei Miao still took Lu Pingsheng's car down the mountain and took Da Zhuang to Queen Street West.
At this moment, she was waiting for grilled intestines in front of the stall of the black-faced girl on the street.
"Are you going back on a big ship?" The black-faced girl was busy with her hands, her eyes fixed on Wei Miao.
She vaguely knew that the rescue of herself and her mother had something to do with the greedy boy in front of her.
Plus the fact that they were both imprisoned together made them somewhat intimate.
"It takes three days to get to the shore."
Wei Miao smelled the unique aroma of roasted large intestines, and before she could say anything, Da Zhuang behind her answered for her.
Ever since Wei Miao disappeared last time, Lu Pingsheng arranged for the thin Da Zhuang to be her follower.
Da Zhuang is in his early twenties, and because he is short, he looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
His family was originally fishermen from Hong Kong Island. When he was five years old, his parents were fishing at sea and encountered a typhoon, so he grew up at Fisherman's Wharf.
He is alert and observant, well-informed of gossip in the market, and was the first person Lu Pingsheng took in when he first arrived in Hong Kong.
The black-faced girl listened to Da Zhuang's answer, her mouth widened and she exclaimed:
"Want to sleep on the boat?"
She couldn't imagine drifting on the endless sea for days and nights.
Wei Miao nodded, thinking that he didn’t get a good sleep the last time he came. He wondered if he could stay in a luxury suite like the Japanese people this time.
Wei Miao ate the fried large intestine and said goodbye to the black-faced girl and her mother.
Feeling the lingering fragrance in the mouth, it’s a bit of a pity that it will be difficult to taste this delicacy in the future.
Da Zhuang was wearing a shirt and overalls, carrying various new items that Wei Miao had bought, and walking beside her.
"In this period of time, the most famous thing on Queen West Street is not only the downfall of the Lou family, but also the Lou family's son-in-law and the mother-in-law."
Wei Miao had been in Hong Kong Island for a long time, and he also knew that "契家婆" meant marrying a daughter-in-law.
She didn't expect that Uncle Wei would remarry so soon.
The judge was good at observing people's expressions and saw that Wei Miao was interested, so he immediately said:
"Mr. Lu left him a house, and they live there now. Can I take you there to have a look?"
Wei Miao was about to refuse when he heard someone whispering in the alley ahead.
"Brother Asheng, drink less. My child and I depend on you for support."
There was a hint of fatigue in the woman's voice, which made people feel distressed.
"You care about me too?" Wei Er's voice was impatient.
Wei Miao swallowed gold in the Lou family cemetery. His ears and eyes were sharp, so he could hear sounds naturally without having to go close.
So she stopped Da Zhuang from taking her through the narrow alley and pointed to the roast goose stall across the street and said:
"Go buy a roast goose. Er Niang said she was craving for it this morning."
Hearing Gao Erniang's name, Da Zhuang, who wanted to refuse, blushed and said anxiously:
"Then young master, please stand here and don't move. You can't leave my sight."
Wei Miao nodded obediently and said with a smile: "Buy two more lion heads and goose heads."
Da Zhuang put the things in his hand at Wei Miao's feet, ran flexibly to the stall opposite, and bargained with the owner.
Wei Miao continued to listen to the distant corner.
The quarrel between the couple was interrupted by the sound of a child crying loudly.
Then someone suddenly pushed open the door and said angrily:
"I should have killed these two kids earlier."
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" The woman's voice was filled with panic.
