Old Gong always wants to feed me fat

Wenjin County is rich in plums, and plums, the most precious variety, cost 20 taels of silver per catty, which is comparable to the value of a female slave in the market.

The season was just right, Boss Huang sent someone to send six jeweled plums, which were called early adopters, and Candoushan weighed them, weighing almost two catties.He washed two and took a bite first. The meat was thick and the core was small, the fruity aroma was rich, and the juice was so sweet that it melted one's heart.

"Weisheng, eat plums."

Weisheng took the plum and looked at it. The skin was green and pleasant, and the roundness was very pleasing. He knew the value at a glance. He said depressedly: "He sent something again."

"If it's delivered to your door for free, you don't want to eat it for nothing." Cang Doushan knows that there is nothing to be courteous about, it's either adultery or stealing, but if it's delivered to your door, you don't want to eat it for nothing, and he is very satisfied.

Weisheng took a bite of the plum and sighed: "Today is another day of no business."

"Two boxes of rouge were sold yesterday, have you forgotten now?"

"I wish someone would come every day."

Cang Doushan stopped talking, silently gnawed a plum, flicked it with his finger, and the small core jumped into the edge of the alley.

"How is your cultivation going?"

"It's almost time to enter."

Cangdoushan smiled: "It's pretty fast, enter the country early, and then I can teach you more spells."

"Ah."

Weisheng said: "Have you arrived at the border?"

"Yes, I arrived a few days ago." Cang Doushan hugged his knees, "After entering the country, you need to accumulate a foundation of spiritual power. The more spiritual power you have, the easier it will be to enter the Xuanyu Dual Realm. After arriving at the Xuanyu Dual Realm, Basically, it can be called a real person."

Weisheng said: "When you reach the Xuanyu Twin Realm, do you want to fuse your natal magic weapon?"

Cang Doushan lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "That...it's still early."

Weisheng tentatively said, "I've heard that the best way to fuse natal artifacts is to start from entering the country."

"It's nothing." Cang Doushan said lightly, "Entering the fusion of natal magical artifacts is only suitable for those magical artifacts that already have artifact spirits and are of a temporarily lower grade. But that's not very useful, let's not talk about whether the master will have a chance to cultivate to the highest Tongtian in the end, even if there is a chance, the risk of upgrading with Qi Ling is huge, because Qi Ling's self-awareness will become stronger and stronger, Even rebellion."

Weisheng laughed: "So that's it, then there's no need to worry." He lowered his head and continued to gnaw on the plums, gnawed off a bit of meat from the core, walked out of the shop, swung his arms round and threw it out.

The core bounced and fell into the grass.

A carriage appeared at the entrance of Huali Alley and came slowly.A ring of pale green gauze curtains hung down from the bow hat, and the golden lotus bells rang softly and crisply, which was really pleasant to hear.The decoration of the whole carriage is extremely exquisite and chic, in Wei Sheng's eyes, it is like a big "rich".

After watching for a while, he confirmed that the carriage was heading for Huxianju, and he couldn't help being overjoyed: "The business is here!"

Sure enough, the carriage stopped at the gate of Huxianju, Cang Doushan looked out and knew the identity of the visitor was extraordinary, so he stood up hastily.At this time, Weisheng felt that it would be undignified to stand in front of the door to greet him early, so he retreated behind the door and tugged at Cangdoushan's sleeve nervously: "Do you think I'm alright?"

Cang Doushan couldn't help laughing: "He is here to buy things, not to see your face, what are you afraid of!"

While talking, the distinguished guest has already got out of the car.Wear a power fence on your head.The fence was actually a magic weapon, and the thin black gauze covered her face tightly.

"I was invited by a friend to come to visit." The honored guest's voice was mellow, and he slightly bowed his knees to the two of them.The two were so panicked that they were at a loss, Cang Doushan hurriedly said: "I'm doing a small business, I can't bear such a big gift from my wife."

The distinguished guest stood up straight and said with a smile: "Let's gossip less, show me what's in your store?"

Weisheng pressed Cangdou Mountain: "I'll do it."

Candoushan is in charge of doing it, and microbiological pricing.When it comes to receiving guests and introducing things, Weisheng is more familiar.In order to make a good impression on the distinguished guests, Weisheng really tried his best to show off his tongue, boasting about his own things.

Listening to Weisheng's introduction, the distinguished guest walked back and forth in front of the shelf, and said something that Weisheng could never have dreamed of: "Get a copy of all."

"You want all of them?" Weisheng confirmed again.

"Yes, please wrap it up."

Weisheng was ecstatic: "No problem! Well, but there are not many boxes and paper in the store right now, please wait a moment."

The honored guest nodded in agreement, Weisheng pulled Cangdoushan who was in a daze: "Stay here and watch!" He ran outside to buy a cardboard box.

After the distinguished guests sat down, Cangdoushan hurriedly made tea to entertain them.She casually asked some questions, why is it called Huxianju, the location is remote, why did you choose to open a store here and so on.

Cang Doushan answered one by one, and guessed in his heart: this distinguished guest is probably a businessman invited by Boss Huang.So he talked with her about the variety of vanilla and the best place of origin. The guest is obviously much more familiar with this aspect than him.The mature time of vanilla, the place of origin, and the industry's code words can be heard as soon as you hear it, which is not the same as his understanding level of half a bucket of water.

Weisheng bought the cardboard boxes, packed them one by one, and handed them to the guest's maid.The money and the goods were cleared, and one transaction was several times the total income of Huxianju in the past few months. He had a hard time holding back his laughter, and when the VIP carriage left, he immediately went crazy in place: "You're rich! You're eating meat!"

Cangdoushan was angry and funny: "Eat meat, eat meat, you know how to eat meat!"

With the money, Cangdoushan took most of it, bought new herbs, and started to make deodorant and hair conditioner. With good raw materials and tools, Candoushan could try his best to restore the cosmetics prepared by his senior sister back then. Before reaching a certain level, Cangdou Mountain is not yet able to restore 100%: that woman who is obsessed with beauty, whether it is purifying essential oils or grinding makeup powder, all do it with the tyrannical strength of the Taoist realm.Women really can do anything for their own beauty.

The new cosmetics came out, and Boss Huang sent someone to take away a few bottles, saying that he wanted to help with publicity, and the alley was too deep for good wine.Cangdoushan didn't have much expectations at first, but when Boss Huang publicized it, the effect was surprisingly good.

The first to open up the market is the fragrance body pill. The hot sales of the fragrance body pill have driven Huxianju's makeup powder. More than double, but the number of people who come to buy it has not decreased but increased, and the sales of makeup powder at the original civilian price have skyrocketed.After one month, I really earned a lot of money, even if I split half of Boss Huang, it was still more than enough.

Weisheng happily bought a bunch of snacks, a famous specialty of Wenjin County, and forced Cangdoushan to eat a lot, saying to have a taste.Those famous products are also worthy of the name of famous products, and the cakes made have their own characteristics and excellent flavors.

It's just that he always thinks of the so sweet dragon beard crisps.

But these are sweet too.

After a few days of being so comfortable, Cangdoushan suddenly received an invitation card, roughly inviting him to a banquet to discuss the way of incense, and it was signed by Mrs. Qinghe.

"This Mrs. Qinghe..." He closed the invitation. Could it be the distinguished guest who made a big deal a few days ago?The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

"Never mind her, there's something for the banquet." Anyway, Weisheng is happy if he has food and drink. He is only worried about whether Mrs. Qinghe's banquet is the same as Boss Huang's. Silver chopsticks.

Cangdoushan was full of worries, when the delivery guy from Huang's family came to deliver the goods, he asked about Mrs. Qinghe's background by the way.

It turned out that Mrs. Qinghe was born noble, and was a famous talented woman. She lost her husband in her early years and supported the huge family business left by her husband on her own.The most important item in Mrs. Qinghe's family business is the business of rouge and gouache. The largest makeup shop in Wenjin County, "Red Sleeve Hall", is Mrs. Qinghe's business.

It turned out that they were colleagues, Cang Doushan had a bottom line in his heart.It's just that he really couldn't figure out the purpose of the banquet.As the saying goes, the heart of a woman is the needle of the sea.Refuse, he is the leader of this industry, it seems very uninteresting to steal his business and not give him face.But in fact, he doesn't know anything about Xiang Dao, and he has survived completely by his solid basic knowledge of alchemy and the experience of his senior sister. Once he goes there, he may expose his layman's essence. He will know if he has it when he opens his mouth. I'm afraid it's not easy to get along.

The microbiological attitude is: "Go! How can you not go."

Weisheng's support somewhat gave Candoushan the courage to face the top snake in the industry. He thought about it, and it would not be good to go empty-handed. He dug out the Huaxun rose hydrosol at the bottom of the press box and boiled a bottle of peach blossom honey with other medicinal materials.

Peach blossom honey is the favorite cosmetics of senior sisters, and it is also the most used.Peach blossom honey can be applied to the face, bathed in water, and skin care. You can also drink it directly. After three days, the whole body will be filled with a faint fragrance of peach blossoms. There is no smell of dust. Instead, it has a pure girly taste, and the color is pink and tender. Very girly.

Cangdoushan made a special trip to the porcelain market, spent most of the day, and chose a very small tender pink goose-neck glass bottle with a big belly, translucent, just right for peach blossom honey, and it doesn't look gaudy.

On the day of the banquet, the two stood in front of Mrs. Qinghe's mansion, both a little nervous.

The doorkeeper had good eyesight and greeted them enthusiastically. After confirming the identities of the two with the invitation, he led them into the mansion.

Different from Boss Huang's style on the bright side, Madam Qinghe's mansion is restrained and reserved, exquisite in every way. Except for her reputation and the group of maids behind her, she is basically no different from ordinary middle-aged women on the street.

Cang Doushan looked around cautiously. During the banquet, there were hundreds of guests, both men and women. Cang Doushan knew a few men, all of whom were famous herb merchants. Boss Huang showed him.The women's makeup is exquisite, their clothes are gorgeous, and the real ladies of the famous family all look so approachable and amiable.

Weisheng glanced at the food on the table, and his eyes went dark: they were all brightly colored and exquisitely shaped, but there was only a little bit of dim sum that looked delicious but was not enough to eat!

In vain, I was hungry for two meals!

So hungry, so hungry, so hungry... The empty stomach protested crazily, Weisheng stroked his belly and wanted to cry without tears.

Cang Doushan remained silent, looking around.Most of the people who participated in the banquet knew each other, but the two of them were newcomers, with young faces and out of place.

The initiator of the banquet, Mrs. Qinghe, was undoubtedly the center of the banquet. The noble lady hugged her and asked with a charming smile what good things she had researched recently. Come and take a look.The vanilla merchant ordered his servants to present their new rare spices: agarwood with strange wood texture; rare large pieces of ambergris; three-flowered grass that has grown for thousands of years; freshly processed tea trees that have grown for thousands of years Green tea with refreshing lotus flavor.

Mrs. Qinghe exchanged pleasantries with the noble lady for a while, then turned her attention to the rare treasures sent by the herb dealer, watched and commented on them one by one, and Cangdoushan could hear them clearly.She has a venomous vision, she hides the needle in her comments, and she points out the problem without hurting people's face. She is also very grateful to the approved vanilla merchant, and she is really good at speaking.

"It's boring to keep these things, isn't it just a little bit older." A lady waved her fan, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her expression was quite dissatisfied.

Mrs. Qinghe smiled and said: "Today's banquet, Qinghe specially invited a newcomer. Although he is still young, he has done a good job. It will definitely refresh everyone's eyes—Young Master Cang, where are you going?"

Everyone looked at him, Cang Doushan calmly said: "Xiaosheng feels a little uncomfortable after smelling the fragrance for a long time, come to the side to blow some air."

Mrs. Qinghe smiled and said: "That's right, I'm tired of smelling the fragrance after dealing with cosmetics every day." Dai Mei raised her eyebrows lightly, "What good things did Mr. Cang bring this time? Let Qinghe open his eyes. I bought it last time , but this concubine was quite pleasantly surprised."

last time?Cangdoushan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly remembered the mysterious guest who was veiled. It was from then on that their business exploded.

Perhaps, Mrs. Qinghe may also have a helping hand in the propaganda Boss Huang said.

Cang Doushan said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Xiaosheng did bring something new, I don't know if it will catch Madam's eyes."

Mrs. Qinghe said: "It's okay, you are still young, and you will be praised for everything you do."

The noble ladies chuckled, Cangdoushan ignored them, and whispered to Weisheng: "Weisheng, the box."

Wei Sheng who was so hungry put down the box with a numb face, opened it, took out the glass bottle, then sat back and continued to live without love.

Cangdoushan coughed: "My friend has a stomach upset recently, I'm laughing at you."

Few people care.All eyes were attracted by the pink glass bottle in Cang Dou Shan's hand, Cang Dou Shan asked the servant to bring a white porcelain plate, and poured it slowly.

The texture of peach nectar is viscous, like honey, and the translucent liquid is fresh and juicy peach pollen, wrapped with some crushed peach petals, as if the March peach spring has been sealed into the water.

"This thing is called Peach Blossom Honey. It is boiled with March fresh peach blossoms, aloe vera juice, high-grade white honey, calendula, etc., and various herbs are added. Finally, Huaxun Rose Hydrosol is used to stabilize the fragrance, and the fragrance is more lingering. .”

"It looks good, isn't it just for your face?" A lady was very interested.

"Anything can be used." Cang Doushan said, "It can not only be applied to the face, but it can also be used for bathing with water to maintain the skin. It can also be taken directly, and after three days, the body will have a strange fragrance. Mixed with milk can wash away the makeup during the day, so that the skin can rest at night. "

Mrs. Qinghe said: "Can I wipe a little?"

Cang Doushan spread his hands: "Please."

Mrs. Qinghe held a handle of Xiaoyu Ruyi, dipped it lightly, spread it on the back of her hand, spread it slowly, and exclaimed: "It's so refreshing." She leaned closer and sniffed, "The fragrance is also very good, with a faint mint smell. It has a peach blossom fragrance, which is not too pungent."

Cangdoushan said: "In the future, the fragrance of peach blossoms will gradually become stronger, but not too strong. The tail fragrance is frankincense, with a bit of milk sweetness."

"How many bottles are there?" The lady was moved.

Cang Doushan bowed slightly: "I made it in a hurry for the banquet, only this bottle."

Mrs. Qinghe's Yu Ruyi knocked on the table: "Then this bottle belongs to me." She looked cunning like a girl with a strange spirit.The ladies felt something and laughed together.

A banquet, the host and guests parted happily

Weisheng, who had been hungry all night, was depressed.

As soon as he walked out of the banquet hall, Weisheng hooked Cangdoushan's shoulder and asked, "What's for dinner?"

"What are you cooking so late, let's eat wontons."

"Don't want to eat wontons!"

Cang Doushan pushed him and said angrily: "Then you are hungry!"

Weisheng didn't know why he was so angry, he was a little confused: "What's the matter, I'm so angry."

Cang Doushan pursed his lips and was about to speak when a servant trotted over, bent down and said with a smile: "You two, madam has prepared supper for you, please do yourself a favor and finish eating before leaving."

Supper!Wei Sheng's eyes glistened.Cang Doushan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Mrs. Qinghe prepared two bowls of pumpkin porridge, served with a plate of steamed rolls and some delicate pasta, and Wei Sheng took a deep breath to drink it. After eating most of the plate of steamed rolls, it was still not enough.

Cang Doushan pushed the bowl in front of him to him: "Eat it, I don't want to eat it."

Weisheng frowned: "Why, have you eaten?"

"Yes."

"Why haven't I seen you eat?"

Cangdoushan remained silent.

Weisheng felt that there was something hidden in the jar, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he asked tentatively, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"The banquet in the upper class is for discussing business, not for eating and drinking! You..." He turned his head away, thinking that it would be too much to say any more.

"You think I'm embarrassing, don't you?" Weisheng came up angrily, so annoyed that he wanted to hit someone, "I haven't experienced it before, how do I know!"

"You know and don't tell me, I'm ashamed and still dislike me?!"

The atmosphere was solemn for a long time, before Cang Doushan gave in first: "Are you still hungry? What do you want to eat?"

"Huh? I'm so full of gas, eat a fart."

"There's some rice left at home, can I make fried rice with eggs?"

"Oh... okay. Beat one more egg, and you can wash the pot."
