Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Ye Changyan came to the second floor of Yunfeng Building. He did not rush to open the door of the private room. Instead, he took out the wintersweet perfume and lightly applied some behind his ears and on his wrists.

After cleaning up, he knocked on the door gently and then opened the door of the private room. He saw Zhong Yunfeng treating Huang Huamin to tea.

The moment he pushed open the door of the private room, Ye Changyan felt his middle finger twitching twice, and an intuition suddenly surged in his mind that Huang Huamin was the most suitable candidate for a partner.

Just when Ye Changyan's intuition emerged in his mind, he heard Zhong Yunfeng calling him to take a seat. Ye Changyan quickly adjusted his thoughts, and then he and Huang Huamin politely greeted each other, and then sat down directly opposite Huang Huamin.

The moment Ye Changyan pushed the door open, Huang Huamin, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled a faint scent of wintersweet. When Huang Huamin was about to ask, Ye Changyan spoke first.

"Mr. Huang, come and try some of this candy. This is the candy that the processing workshop just made today."

Ye Changyan pushed the two jars of candy he brought to Huang Huamin's side.

"Is this the candy made by the processing workshop that started working yesterday?"

Huang Huamin asked Ye Changyan with some anticipation, while opening the lid, taking out two and preparing to peel off the oil paper.

"That's right. When I went out earlier, I went to the processing workshop to get it, just to give it to Mr. Huang to taste."

Huang Huamin smiled and put the peeled milky white candy into his mouth. Soon, a look of surprise appeared on Huang Huamin's face.

"Mr. Huang, try this again."

Seeing Huang Huamin's surprised expression, Ye Changyan pointed to another jar at him.

Huang Huamin was seen chewing the candy in his mouth while opening another can and taking out two candies. He observed them and found that there was nothing special about them except the words "Wei Hao Jia" printed on the oil paper.

He peeled off the oil paper in his hand and saw a brown candy inside, which looked a bit like a small piece of brown sugar. He put it in his mouth, and then his face twisted for a moment, then a look of surprise, and then he began to enjoy the taste.

"What kind of candy is this? It tastes so special, sour, sweet and rich in milk flavor."

"The white one is Weihaojia's milk candy, and the brown one is Weihaojia's lactic acid candy."

Seeing Huang Huamin’s excited face, Zhong Yunfeng pointed at the two jars and introduced them to Huang Huamin.

Seeing the other party peeling two more candies and putting them into his mouth, eating them with relish, Ye Changyan had an idea quickly flashed through his mind, and then he spoke to Huang Huamin with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Huang, I heard from Yunfeng that you have a wide network of contacts and friends. Even the nobles in Shengjing treat you as a guest of honor."

Hearing Ye Changyan's flattery, Huang Huamin remained humble and stretched out his right hand and waved towards Ye Changyan.

"Mr. Ye, you are too kind. What Yunfeng said is indeed an exaggeration."

"As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths. The more friends you have, the easier it is to walk."

The three of them laughed, and then listened to Ye Changyan.

"Mr. Huang, the New Year is approaching, and every household has started to buy New Year's goods. This Wei Hao Jia candy is a novel food. I wonder if Mr. Huang plans to buy some? It is a good choice for family consumption or as a gift to relatives and friends."

Huang Huamin was stunned for a moment when he heard Ye Changyan's words, while Zhong Yunfeng smiled slyly to himself.

"Master Ye, don't tell me, the annual gifts are always the same old things. Now that you remind me, I really plan to buy some."

Huang Huamin thought to himself that he came here to discuss business, but he didn't expect that before he even started, someone else would do the business. However, the other party's proposal was not bad. The candy was indeed novel and unique in taste, and it might really be popular.

"Mr. Huang is straightforward. As the first customer of this Wei Hao Jia, I will give you a 20% discount. Since the processing workshop has just started production, a small amount will be sold at the counter of Zhong's Goods Store in the early stage. The price of these two jars of different flavors will not be less than one tael of silver."

Huang Huamin was choked by Ye Changyan's words. These two jars of candy only cost one or two taels of silver, which was not cheap. But when he thought about it, this novel and unique candy was someone else's exclusive business, and it tasted really good. For him, the price of one or two taels of silver was still acceptable, not to mention that the other party gave him a discount.

"May I have five hundred jars of each of those two kinds of candy?"

Huang Huamin calculated in his mind that five hundred cans each should be enough for his relatives and friends in Yuzhou Prefecture and Shengjing City, as well as his business partners, and some personal connections that needed to be smoothed over and managed.

"Thank you for your patronage, Mr. Huang. The candies produced in the past few days will be delivered to your house first."

Ye Changyan and Zhong Yunfeng were both happy. The first sale of Weihaojia candy was completed in this way. Eight hundred taels was really a big fish for a processing workshop that had just started operating.

"That's perfect. My housekeeper is arranging to send some local products to Shengjing these days. We can take some of these candies along with him."

As Huang Huamin spoke, he smiled at the two of them.

"I have a friend in Shengjing who sells cakes and dried fruits. I'll write him a letter to see if he's interested in this candy."

"In that case, I would like to thank you very much, Mr. Huang."

Ye Changyan bowed to Huang Huamin, and Zhong Yunfeng thanked him repeatedly. It would be great if Huang Huamin could really make the connection.

Huang Huamin saw that Zhong Ye and the others were smiling, then he spoke and got to the topic of today.

"When Master Ye pushed the door open and walked in, I smelled a faint and elegant scent of wintersweet. I wonder where this scent of wintersweet comes from?"

When Ye Changyan heard that the other party had changed the subject to the main topic, he took over the topic calmly.

"During this midwinter season, all flowers withered, but only the wintersweet flowers were not afraid of the severe cold and were in full bloom. When I had nothing to do, my brother and I used the wintersweet flowers to make some things. A while ago, Brother Yunfeng was interested in them, so I asked him to take some to the capital."

After listening to Ye Changyan's words, Huang Huamin finally understood that Ye Changyan was the source of the wintersweet perfume and that kind of pure dew. It seemed that his persistence in front of Zhong Yunfeng had finally paid off.

As the owner of the largest cosmetics shop in Yuzhou Prefecture, Huang Huamin was very familiar with these aromatic products, but the two products he saw in Zhong's Store were something he had never heard of before.

This wintersweet perfume is easy to understand. Its function is similar to the ointment in my shop. However, this wintersweet perfume not only has a light and elegant fragrance, but also is mixed with other indescribable aromas, making it smell fuller and richer. What's even more surprising is that the fragrance of this wintersweet perfume can last all day long.

Moreover, this wintersweet perfume has a light amber color and leaves no marks when applied on the body. However, the ointment in my shop will make the skin greasy and leave colored marks after application. In terms of appearance, this wintersweet perfume is much better.

As for this wintersweet pure water, the guys in Zhong's store couldn't explain it clearly. They only knew that it had a faint scent of wintersweet. Huang Huamin hadn't figured out its specific uses yet.

"Master Ye, to be honest, I have seen this winter plum perfume and another kind of aromatic preparation called winter plum pure dew in Zhong's store in the capital. I am very interested in these two aromatic products, but I still don't know enough about them. I wonder if Master Ye can explain my doubts to me."
