The area of the East Market and the West Market are similar to each other, and both occupy the territory of two squares. Different from the hot and prosperous West Market, the East Market appears to be subtle and introverted, with clean and wide streets, carved beams and painted shops, and luxuriously decorated incense cars, all of which highlight the value of the market.

For the same size of the site, the shop area of the East Market is only half of that of the West Market, not only because the shops in the East Market are gorgeously decorated, but also the width, width and height are several grades higher than that of the West Market, and of course the rent is several times higher than that of the West Market. Take the perfume shop as an example, in the lower right corner of the East Market, a little away from the central area, the annual rent is 2,000 taels, and you can't buy it without 40,000 taels.

Guo Huaili carried a lot of silver tickets, and when he came, the three of them discussed it, and they were not short of money. Rats have rat roads, snakes have snake roads, and it is thanks to Yu Qingle that he was able to buy this shop in Dongshi, and his experience of traveling in Kyoto for more than ten years has made him very familiar with the fang market in Yongchang City, and he is very clear about who to do what to do.

With this old horse, Guo Huaili quickly took over the balsam shop that originally sold fat powder. Dealing with Mrs. and Miss Fat Powder and the like, Yu Qingle used to bring women to the store to buy fat powder, and he was very familiar with the shopkeeper and the clerk.

These days, Yu Qingle is busy with Zhang Luo, and Guo Huaili and Jiang Anyong are fighting hotly. Yu Zhijie acquiesced to his son's early departure and late return, this perfume business in Beijing, he had already talked with the third child, and the Yu family was handed over to Yu Qingle to take care of.

After learning of his father's plan, Yu Qingle was even more energetic, this perfume shop will be his own industry in the future, I heard Guo Fatzi reveal a few words, this business is similar to picking money, and it is also in the palace, the background is strong, and I will wake up laughing when I really dream.

The goods entered the shop, Xu Anhu breathed a sigh of relief, this trip of three thousand taels of silver is considered to be in hand. Huang Kailin greeted Guo Huaili with a smile and said, "Huaili, I haven't seen you for a month and gained weight again, it seems that Kyoto is having a good time." Jiang Anyong came over to see his uncle and cousin Huang Donghe, and introduced Yu Qingle on the side, everyone said a few words, and went to the back bunk to sit down and rest.

"There are a total of 14,000 bottles of perfume brought this time, divided into four types: roses, gardenias, lilies, bluegrass, and 1,000 bottles of plum, with red, white, blue, green, and yellow ribbons tied on the bottles, so don't make a mistake when selling them." Huang Donghe is no longer a farmer in the countryside, and calmly explained: "This time there are 500 bottles in the tribute palace, and 100 bottles of various fragrance types, and Uncle Guo will escort a batch of perfume into Beijing after half a month, and the fragrance type will change at that time." When paying tribute, it is clear that the model of perfume varies from person to person, and after a year of trial, you can roughly determine the type and quantity of tribute. ”

After taking a sip of water, Huang Donghe continued to confess: "An Yong, my aunt asked me to tell you that if you go back with your third uncle, there is no master at home, so don't know how to play all day long." ”

Seeing Jiang Anyong's face collapsed, Huang Donghe turned to Guo Huaili and said, "Brother Guo, you and I will celebrate the New Year in Beijing, and we will go back after the business in the shop is on the right track." ”

"Okay", Guo Fatzi is a stubborn master, I heard that there is still half a year to live, so he nodded his head in agreement. Jiang Anyong rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Donghe, why don't I go back after the New Year with you?" ”

"No, my aunt specially told you that if you dare not go back, let your brother beat you." Huang Donghe gloated.

Huang Kailin drank two cups of tea, cleared his throat and asked, "Huaili, when do you plan to open?" ”

"Today is the fourth day of the new year, and it will be the sixth day of the new year." Guo Huaili responded with a little calculation.

Huang Kailin nodded, turned his face to Xu Anhu and said: "Mr. Xu, the shop will open in two days, you might as well play in Beijing for a few days, and then return home with us, eat and live in Beijing, all of which are counted in the store." ”

Xu Anhu only then knew that the goods transported were actually tribute, no wonder the Yu family moved the people, if this relationship can be good, this business alone is enough to support half the sky of Zhenwei Dart Bureau, and immediately agreed with a smile.

sent someone to inform Jiang Anyi, and Jiang Anyi didn't know how to send things to the palace. I had to go to the East Palace and tell the prince that the palace sent a few eunuchs, led by Gao Gonggong, who was white-faced, glanced at the silver ticket that Jiang Anyi secretly handed over, and saw that it read "Two hundred taels of silver".

Gonggong Gao quickly put the silver ticket into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Lord Jiang, our family's surname is Gao, it is the order of the inner government in the palace, and I came to accept the tribute on the order of the mother, and if there is something in the future, I can directly send someone to the inner government bureau to find our family." As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized wooden card from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Anyi: "This is a tribute card, with this brand, you can directly send tribute to the Inner Government Bureau." The Inner Government Bureau is next to Anfu Gate, and you will know it when you ask. ”

After Father-in-law Gao drove away, Jiang Anyi handed the wooden sign to Yu Qingle, and said with a smile: "Master Yu intends to let Brother Qingle take care of the perfume business, you can keep this wooden brand, and you can use it when dealing with Father-in-law Gao in the future." ”

The small wooden card became heavy, and Yu Qingle, who had always been frivolous, took the wooden card and wanted to smile at everyone, but somehow, the corners of his mouth trembled and he couldn't speak.

Jiang Anyi solemnly arched his hand and said: "Where there is a will, it can be done, and Brother Qingle is encouraged." ”

The sixth day of the first lunar month opened, the time was tight, the world did not know about perfume, and everyone discussed how to quickly open up the situation. Yu Qingle said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, take the perfume to the Qinglou at night, give it a try to the girls you see, and keep the perfume famous." ”

One stone hit a thousand waves, Yu Qingle's idea was appreciated by everyone, Guo Huaili said: "When the time comes, drop a bottle at the door of the store, and keep the whole street is fragrant." ”

Jiang Anyi remembered that the last time he took the perfume from Dong'er and promised to return it twice, he let him pack twenty bottles, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow there will be a small gathering in Zechang Academy, I will send a few bottles to make a name for myself through their mouths." ”

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the perfume shop opened in the sound of firecrackers, and a group of customers flocked outside the door. The price of 50 taels of bottles is daunting to many people, but if someone starts, business will be easy to do. Snowballing, a cosmetic product called "perfume" has become popular in Kyoto.

Yu Qingle is very concerned about his business, he comes early and returns late, and when he sees a few bottles of perfume brought by her husband, Zhang Yuzhu relaxed her control over her husband, and Yu Zhijie was very relieved to learn that his son was devoted to business, although it was not the right way to study, but it was better than wandering around.

In the past ten days, nearly 3,000 bottles of perfume have been sold, what is the concept, the gross profit is 150,000 taels of silver, Yu Qingle looked at the running account, and was stunned. Business is good, Yu Qingle waved his hand, and the shopkeeper Yuan and the six maids doubled their wages, which made several people painful and happy, and the small waist was twisted into a willow in the wind.

At noon on the 17th, several incense carts came from outside the store, and seven or eight women came down from the ground and gathered around a boy in brocade clothes and entered the store. Shopkeeper Yuan has been running a fragrant powder shop in Beijing for more than ten years, and he knows a lot about the characters in Beijing.

"Cheng Gongzi, what kind of fragrant wind blew you here. Hurry inside, please, Ling'er, build fragrant tea. ”

Cheng Gongzi squinted his eyes and scratched the chest of the shopkeeper Yuan, stretched out his hand to the small waist of the shopkeeper Yuan, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a day, if you don't see the shopkeeper Yuan for a while, I want to comfort the pain of lovesickness today." ”

The handkerchief in the hand of the shopkeeper Yuan was blown in the wind, and he deftly avoided Cheng Gongzi's hand, and said with a smile sideways: "Cheng Gongzi has been in the flowers for a long time, and there are constant flowers around him. Please sit down, I have the best fragrant tea from the owner, and I will keep it for you. ”

"Talking." Cheng Gongzi folded the folding fan in his hand, picked the chin of the shopkeeper Yuan lightly, and walked to the quiet room with the woman beside him.

Da Zheng Fei's military exploits are not marquis, this Cheng Gongzi has an extraordinary background, his father Wen Guogong Cheng Puyang, and Shenguo Duke Wang Keming, Anguo Duke Zhu Taiwei, and the former Duke Li Zhirou are called the "Four Princes", with outstanding military achievements, Weizhen Southern Xinjiang. This Duke Wen has five sons, four sons died on the battlefield, the youngest Cheng Gongzi was born when he was nearly fifty years old, since he loves like a treasure, is indulged in lawlessness, is a very famous gentleman in Beijing, Wang Zhizhi and others are inferior to him.

The shopkeeper Yuan carefully served fragrant tea, the tea was Anlong tea, but a little plum perfume was dripped in the tea. Cheng Gongzi picked up the tea, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and nodded slightly: "Yes, this fragrance is rare, and the color is so-so." ”

"This is the famous Jiangnan tea Anlong cultivated by Master Hongxin of Mingpu Temple for Master Guangming, the yield is extremely low, and the idlers don't even know the name." Shopkeeper Yuan has been in business for many years, and of course he knows how to elevate his status.

After taking a sip, Cheng Gongzi said lightly: "It's okay, the taste of monks is different from that of ordinary people, just drink one or two sips once in a while." By the way, shopkeeper Yuan, I heard that there is a new product in your store, called perfume, take dozens of bottles out and distribute them to the girls around me. ”

The shopkeeper Yuan asked the maid to fetch five bottles of different kinds of perfumes, and the neck of the bottle was tied with a ribbon, so she was not afraid of getting mixed. Seeing the unhappy look on Cheng Gongzi's face, the shopkeeper Yuan hurriedly explained: "Cheng Gongzi, don't be in a hurry first, let the slave family explain a thing or two for you and your sisters." These five bottles of perfume are not the same, they are rose, gardenia, lily, ......"

While explaining, the shopkeeper Yuan used a small brush to apply perfume to the wrists of those women and let them try the fragrance, this is called "This fragrance is with me, cold and beautiful", and the one called "Childe, I want these bottles", "Xianggong, you smell the concubine's body is not fragrant", the group of female porridge porridge in the quiet room, noisy.

Cheng Gongzi was happily pushed by the women, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's all there, it's all there." Shopkeeper Yuan, give me a hundred copies of each fragrance. ”

"Cheng Gongzi, this perfume costs fifty taels and one bottles, there are five kinds of each, and if there are one hundred bottles of each, it is five hundred bottles, a total of twenty-five thousand taels of silver, I don't know if I'm right?" Shopkeeper Yuan did not move, but quietly pretended to settle accounts and reminded.

Before Cheng Gongzi could speak, a green-robed woman beside him shouted: "What are you talking about, are you afraid that Cheng Gongzi has no money?" Go get it. ”
