Chapter 41 Black Market Hawker (Part 2)
Shu'er pretended to be shocked and turned pale. He saluted the aunt repeatedly and said, "I don't know that I don't know that you are the sister next to the Queen. I forgive you, sister! I forgive you, sister!"
Shu'er called her "sister" one after another, making the palace attendant in his fifties and sixties very happy: "Brother, there is no need to be polite. It was the empress who ordered me to go out to the palace to buy. She said she must get a box of 'Bi Liang Ning'."
"It's fragrant, she likes it very much, and so does the princess." He then introduced to Shu'er: "These sisters are all sent by the wives of high-ranking officials and noble families, and they all want to follow suit and buy this. The queen highly recommends it."
The spices will be used back.”
Shu'er used the skills she had learned from wandering in the black market over the years and said tremblingly: "Since my sisters are helping us, Queen Chen and the ladies of various dignitaries and nobles, to purchase, how dare a commoner ask for a price..."
The aunt of Jinyang Palace said: "The queen has said that you can't search for people's treasures and people's anointing. The price should be whatever it is. Brother, you don't have to be embarrassed, just quote the price truthfully."
Excuse me: "This 'Biliang Ningxiang' is produced by the Biliang Lake in Xiling of Shu. Xiling of Shu is the most terrifying place among the five countries of Kyushu. The terrain in the mountain is changeable, and there are wolves, tigers and leopards.
There are many snakes, rats and monsters, and the Biliang Lake is on a high mountain, so the road is steep. Biliang Ningxiang is condensed from the steamed Biliang chrysanthemum on the shores of Biliang Lake. This Biliang chrysanthemum only grows around mountain lakes, and the yield is extremely low.
, precious and rare, it is not only a good medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying, but also has such an illusory and real fragrance. The green and cold fragrance is specially supplied to the royal family of the Shu Kingdom. In recent years, it has flowed into our Chen country through the black market business travel, so the goods in my hand
It’s not much. This small copper box of green incense sells for five taels of silver. I think it’s expensive, but it’s not easy for me to collect these goods. I really don’t dare to deceive you sisters.”
The aunt of Jinyang Palace discussed with others and said: "We know that it is not easy to be a businessman. It is even more rare for you to go into business at a young age. We will not bargain with you anymore. Five taels is five taels."
, how many boxes do you have, we bought them all."
Shu'er was overjoyed and felt that the queen's cousin was still very helpful. When she bought these spices, a copper box only cost half a tael, which was already five times more expensive than other spices. Now she has a monopoly on this and ordered it.
The exquisite and beautiful but inexpensive copper box was sold so quickly even after its price had increased tenfold. It was really thanks to the help of the Queen's cousin. I will thank her in the future. Shu'er hurriedly led several aunts to the front door.
Jiang Restaurant, ordered the second brother to serve them tea and snacks, and then went to the wine cellar to take out half of the spices and other small cosmetics she and Lin Ying made together.
Back at the restaurant, Shu'er saw Lin Ying writing at the counter and hurriedly asked him to go upstairs to meet their first group of customers. Shu'er introduced: "This is Xiaomin's younger brother. Xiaomin's name is 'Xiaoshu'.
His name is 'Xiao Su'." When the aunts saw that these two brothers were so fair, handsome and elegant, they were indescribably fond of them.
Shu'er placed thirty copper boxes of Biliang Ningxiang on the table, and took out more than a dozen small boxes of all kinds, including lacquerware, solid wood, white porcelain, carved, printed, and painted.
They are exquisite and cannot be copied. Several aunties picked up those small boxes and couldn't put them down. Shu'er introduced: "These are samples given to several sisters. They are all cosmetics with the fragrance of Biliang. These boxes are also
It is the only one in the world, made and carved by my skillful brother."
The aunts looked at the handsome young man of fourteen or fifteen years old with admiration, and all praised: "Xiao Su's hands are so skillful!"
Lin Ying shyly helped Shu'er open these small boxes one by one, and Shu'er introduced them one by one: "This small carved peach wood jar contains fragrant honey powder that we grind by ourselves, and use it when you put it on your face.
My skin is fair and flawless. Sisters, you can try it yourself when you go back." Several aunties hurriedly took the small peach wood jar and looked at the fine powder inside.
Shu'er picked up another red lacquerware. On the lacquerware was a peony flower painted by Lin Ying. Shu'er said: "This one contains red peonies, red peony and red camellia from Chen State, which are ground together.
The rouge cream not only has a hint of green fragrance, but also the fragrance of other flowers. It is very moisturizing when applied on the lips, and it is also moist and moist when applied on the cheeks. Sisters, you can try it now."
Several aunts curiously touched the rouge with their fingers, some put it on their lips, some put it on their cheeks, looked at each other, and all clapped and applauded, attracting several female customers from the restaurant to come and watch.
try.
Shu'er picked up another thin and curved white porcelain vial, which was like a shochu bottle, but two circles smaller than the shochu bottle. On the white porcelain vial was a delicate budding Narcissus painted by Lin Ying. Shu'er.
Er said: "This is called 'Linjiang Xian Qiongjiang'. Although it has the texture of water, long-term application can keep the skin white, tender and shiny, just like a newborn baby."
The women looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what this was. Shu'er pretended to be mysterious and took on the posture of the storyteller grandfather she met when she was a child: "This will start with a kind of wine from Chu State." Then he looked at the female guests.
Yan Xiao, who was watching together, blinked at her. Shu'er continued: "By the way, each country in Kyushu has its own kind of famous wine. Now everyone has heard about the list of Kyushu written by King Zhao, which includes the 'Beauty List'.
'Merchant list', 'Expert list', 'Weapons list', 'Swordsmanship list', 'Swordsmanship list', 'Food list', 'Classics list', 'Landscape list'... a total of seventy-seven and forty-nine
There is an endless stream of lists, which is amazing. Among them is a 'Fine Wine List', and the top of the list of fine wines is the 'Linjiang Fairy' from Chu State. Although everyone agrees, the wines on the list are all good wines, regardless of top or bottom.
, but in my opinion, although our Chen country's 'Baifuo Nong' is more fragrant and mellow, the Chu people's 'Linjiang Xian' does have its own uniqueness."
The women listened attentively to what the handsome young man said: "The uniqueness of 'Linjiangxian' lies in the winemaker's hands, which have been whitened and moistened for many years, without any trace of time." Then they waved and said goodbye.
He smiled and introduced: "This Boss Yan must be known to many old customers of the restaurant. She has been brewing 'Linjiang Xian' at our Linjiang Restaurant branch in Fanjing for nearly ten years. Sisters, you might as well
Look at Boss Yan’s hands.”
Although Yan Xiao was once one of the four beauties in Fanjing who was very popular, nearly twenty years have passed, and she has been living in Chu for another ten years. Now no one can recognize who she used to be. She stretched out her hands,
The vicissitudes of life in my heart turned into the joy of watching the two siblings grow up.
More than twenty women exclaimed in unison and commented: "These are simply the hands of a teenage girl! How could they be the hands of Boss Yan, who works hard every day!" Because the women in the restaurant gathered around.
, the crowd was loud, attracting more men and women to come and watch.
Shu'er slapped the table to silence everyone, and said seriously: "The white porcelain bottle with the narcissus on it is filled with the 'Linjiang Immortal Water' that was condensed when brewing 'Linjiang Xian', and white peony and white narcissus were added into it."
, the aroma of white jasmine and blue jasmine is gone, and the original smell of wine is gone."
The women immediately passed on the smell of the 'Linjiang Fairy Water' and couldn't put it down, praising it full of praise. One woman asked: "Brother, where do you sell these cosmetics? We want to buy them too."
Shu'er told Lin Ying to get paper and pen, and said to everyone: "Because all the cosmetics and containers at the 'Biliang Cosmetics Shop' run by Xiaomin and his younger brother are handmade and the quantity is limited, so if you, brothers and sisters, want
