Chapter 193 Perfume Business and Talk



"Zhang Feng, why is the king looking for you?"

On the way back, the fox-eared girl asked curiously.

Zhang Feng looked around and after making sure no one was around, he whispered to the fox-eared girl, "The king wants our 'Red Leaf Steamer No. 1'!"

"Ah? So you agreed?"

The fox-eared girl was shocked. If they didn't have a car, it would be difficult to go back! "He just wants it, but he hasn't asked yet!"

Zhang Feng shook his head.

"What if the king speaks?"

"No way! Anna's Rose is the best perfume in the entire Buck Kingdom. There is absolutely no better perfume than it!"

As for how to operate such a large base and manage the population, Fox-Eared Girl didn't think too much about it.

Even so, this perfume has always been very popular, and sometimes it is even in short supply! Why? Because it doesn't last long, and the others are even worse! Except for this one, other perfumes are already amazing if they can last for three or four days, and many even only last for one or two days.

"In our Buck Kingdom, is there a better perfume than 'Anna's Rose'?"

"I am stupid..."

The girl looked at Zhang Feng with suspicion on her face.

A woman in a purple dress came out of the house.

After all, things like biscuits, even if the price here has increased dozens of times, are still cheap and good quality, and people come and go in an endless stream.

This is a couple, followed by several servants. Judging from the style of their clothes, they are different from those in Buck City. They must have come from other cities.

"Shu Daqiang, what do you think about this person who has the ability to buy 'Anna's Rose' but didn't buy it?"

"Perhaps."

This is a very confident woman, and a woman with a strong background.

Sure enough, compared to the Red Leaf No. 1 which can be seen but not easily touched, the little gadgets brought out from Red Leaf City are more popular.

Zhang Feng didn't want to argue with her, and there was no need.

Zhang Feng saw that Fox Ear Girl couldn't let it go, so he smiled and said, "I'll give you a better bottle later!"

Before Zhang Feng could finish his words, the husband of the couple looked shocked.

Although the Far North is remote and the land is barren, it is still a large area. It would be exciting to think about becoming a local emperor.

After Shu Daqiang arranged the rest of the things, he entered Buck City, because Zhang Feng said he would take him to do big business! In fact, there were some orcs who wanted to come, but Zhang Feng thought about it and stopped them temporarily. After all, they were too conspicuous. If they rushed into Buck City all at once, it might cause some trouble to the city defense army, and even some unnecessary trouble.

When Zhang Feng saw the woman in purple, he felt that she was either a member of the royal family or had a close relationship with a member of the royal family.

"not worth?!"

The woman didn't know why the other party asked this, but it was not a confidential matter, so she answered.

In Buck City, for example, the perfume business has been very popular since it appeared more than ten years ago.

After a moment of silence, the fox-eared girl said faintly, "I knew you wouldn't suffer any loss. It's a pity that I was worried about you!"

Zhang Feng did not stay too long in the several cities he passed through before. Shu Daqiang thought that he had not made full use of his abilities. If Zhang Feng planned to do big business in Buck City, Shu Daqiang felt that he had the obligation and ability to take on this task.

The purple-clothed woman's tone was somewhat excited, and her voice echoed throughout the hall.

After all, he hasn't officially put luxury goods on sale yet. He has to wait until a certain number of people no longer have to worry about food and drink before these things can sell well.

The fox-eared girl was a little shocked.

The reason why it is so expensive is not because it smells good, but because it lasts.

"Forget it, forget it. I might as well buy some venison with this money. Food prices are a bit high this year, so I need to stock up..."

To extract purple, a rare and special conch is needed. Dye makers need to crack open the shell of the conch, extract the mucus that secretes purple pigment, and then put the mucus in the sun for a period of time. The timing must be well controlled, otherwise it will affect the color if it is too early or too late. Many dye makers fail at this last step.

Zhang Feng smiled at her words, but did not answer the question because there was no need to argue about it.

Zhang Feng nodded.

However, after learning about it, Zhang Feng discovered that there was some black technology involved.

Because this bottle of perfume can keep the fragrance for a whole week!

So in the Kingdom of Buck, the king did not stipulate what kind of people could wear what color clothes, but only the royal family would wear purple clothes.

Just for this, you dare to ask for ten gold coins?

However, in addition to Zhang Feng and his group, there were some other guests here. When they heard the woman's words, they all looked surprised.

This is the most expensive perfume he can buy at the moment, and it costs ten gold coins per bottle! This bottle has a small quantity, and it is made of a small wooden carved bottle. It is not exquisite, but some of the patterns on it are very recognizable.

Niu Jiao Niang also came, and Shu Daqiang also came with her.

“I thought he didn’t think it was worth it.”

After sniffing twice, the fox-eared girl suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Well, in addition to the rose, something else was added, which is a bit pungent."

When Zhang Feng saw the price, he was a little shocked.

Zhang Feng did not hide anything and told everyone about the rebellion and the reward he had received.

The fox-eared girl was a little unhappy. She admitted that the perfume was not bad, but since Zhang Feng said there was a better one, then there was a better one, because Zhang Feng had never let her down.

This is also the reason why Zhang Feng has not seen perfume in other cities, because it would go bad before it was delivered. Some people have tried before and tried various methods, but after suffering several heavy losses, no one dared to do the business of transporting and reselling perfume.

If the taste is gone or even changes in a week, is this something to be proud of? Note that this does not mean one week after opening, but one week after production.

"Haha, but besides the car, there are some other things..."

Although Zhang Feng and the others did not refute, the purple-clothed woman seemed to see their disbelief, and she continued, "Each bottle of 'Anna's Rose' is made by three perfumers, and after dozens of processes, it takes five days to make. This is unique in the Buck Kingdom! No other perfume dares to do this. Of course, they can't do it even if they want to! So I say 'Anna's Rose' is the best perfume in the Buck Kingdom!"

She was about to refute subconsciously, but thinking of Zhang Feng's previous warning, and the fact that Zhang Feng had never taken out perfume, she immediately glared at the woman in purple angrily.

The Red Leaf Steamboat No. 1 has become the talk of Buck City these days. After all, such a huge thing has a huge visual impact. Many people were amazed after seeing it, and even gave it a very appropriate nickname, called the moving castle.

Because there is no chemical synthesis in this world, dyes can only be extracted from natural substances.

Originally, Zhang Feng thought that ten gold coins were not expensive, but after she said that, Zhang Feng suddenly felt that it was expensive!

Zhang Feng looked puzzled when he heard these terms. That's it? So simple? You are too honest!

"No."

In the afternoon, Zhang Feng took a few animal-eared girls shopping.

For example, the most obvious thing is that Buck City actually sells luxury goods! To be honest, Zhang Feng was still a little surprised when he saw those perfumes.

The recent events in the south have been a headache for the king. He has to carefully consider the situation of Zhang Feng's fiefdom and even consult with his ministers.

One week? When Zhang Feng heard this information, he was speechless.

He followed Zhang Feng in Hongye City and learned a lot of things, but Hongye City is not big after all, and many things are basically handled by Zhang Feng alone, and his subordinates have no room to perform.

Shu Daqiang touched his head, not knowing what Zhang Feng meant. The woman in purple also looked at Zhang Feng with some confusion.

They knew that Anna's Rose was a very good perfume, but they didn't expect that the production behind it was so complicated. No wonder it cost ten gold coins! However, seeing the woman in purple clothes, no one dared to come forward to talk to her. Most people who wear this color are royals, so it's better for ordinary people not to get in touch with them.

Zhang Feng said to Shu Daqiang with a smile.

"Wow! Doesn't this mean that you will be the king in the Far North from now on?"

Not far from Zhang Feng, a middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat muttered something in a low voice. Zhang Feng and the woman in purple both looked over subconsciously.

However, this is just a minor incident after all.

"Really?"

"As for opening a store... there's no rush for now. After all, the store hasn't been purchased yet. Let's do some research first to see what people here like. Also, call me Lord City Lord. After all, it's been called that for so long, it's more intimate."

This doesn't mean the fragrance is bad, but it also doesn't mean it's good.

This is a small shop with exquisite decoration. In the middle of the room, there is a shelf with many bottles of perfume on it.

Someone once calculated that a purple robe would require 300,000 special conches! This is assuming no mistakes.

Shu Daqiang was originally arranged by Zhang Feng to be stationed in Hongye Steam No. 1. Because Hongye Steam No. 1 attracted so much attention and people kept coming to visit, in order to avoid trouble, Zhang Feng ordered Shu Daqiang to build a small market outside Hongye Steam No. 1.

After taking a quick look, Zhang Feng could tell that this woman was either rich or noble. After all, being able to wear brightly colored clothes was itself a symbol of strength.

The fox-eared girl showed a look of surprise. She didn’t care whether it was good or not. As long as it was given by Zhang Feng, she would like it. Of course, it would be great if it could be more fragrant, last longer, and not so pungent.

Watching the man leave, the woman in purple looked a little embarrassed.

In the eyes of the fox-eared girl, this is not a big deal, after all, there is Zhang Feng! "If you are the first king, I will be the second king! But there is also Caroline... Then I will be the third king reluctantly! Amy, then, will be the fourth king!"

He did buy perfume, but he didn't buy the most expensive one.

"But it's just a little... too fragrant!"

Shu Daqiang nodded. As for research and such, Zhang Feng had trained them in Hongye City, so he knew how to do it.

Zhang Feng rubbed her head. After they went back, Zhang Feng told the girls about this matter.

After visiting the market in Buck City, Zhang Feng discovered that Buck City was obviously several levels higher than other cities he had seen.

"Each bottle of our 'Anna's Rose' is made by 120 perfume masters, who go through 400 processes and work non-stop for more than a month, and the price is only ten gold coins..."

The purple-clothed woman's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Alright, alright, three great kings!"

"How about buying a bottle for my wife?"

In Zhang Feng's opinion, this bottle of perfume is just a very ordinary thing, it will probably be gone after two uses. Zhang Feng even thinks that he can just find a few petals and crush them to make it more fragrant! At least it is not pungent.

Zhang Feng cleared his throat and said:

The king asked Zhang Feng to go back and wait for news. Although he did not agree in person, Zhang Feng was not disappointed.

Because of the purple clothes she was wearing, Zhang Feng had only seen them on a few people, such as the king and the queen.

Obviously, the woman in purple is the boss here.

Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, there will be no loss for Zhang Feng. After all, he has obtained the title of Marquis for free, which is not a loss at all.

Zhang Feng turned around and saw a young girl in light green clothes looking at him with some suspicion.

"...One hundred and twenty people."

As soon as she finished speaking, another guest came in.

“…”

Shu Daqiang spoke with some excitement.

"Three perfumers, dozens of processes, and five days of work..."

This cheapest perfume would probably only last for one day, and it might even go bad the next day. But the man gritted his teeth and bought it anyway. After all, the last time he gave his wife perfume was two months ago.

However, it seems that due to technical reasons, there are very few people who can mix perfumes. Only one or two companies can do it, so the perfume business is basically a monopoly business.

Zhang Feng didn't care about the woman's expression. He asked, "Can I ask, how many perfumers do you have?"

Zhang Feng was just saying "just find some petals and crush them" before, but he suspected that these people did just that.

Sometimes, due to various reasons, two or three days have passed after the perfume is produced, packaged and put on the shelves. By the time customers want to buy it, there are only three or four days left of its shelf life.

It’s not that people don’t dare to wear it, but that they can’t afford it.

She looked young, probably around 21 or 22 years old, tall with a delicate face. Her expression was calm, but Zhang Feng could see the vague confidence on her face.

A rather confident voice sounded.

The fox-eared girl took an opened bottle of perfume and smelled it with a look of surprise. This was the one Zhang Feng had just bought for her.

"Lord City Lord... Oh no, Lord Marquis, are we going to open a store in Buck City?"

Zhang Feng was speechless. This matter hadn't even started yet, and Fox-eared Girl had already made arrangements?

Once everyone had seen orcs outside the city and even come into contact with them, and realized that their tempers and personalities were actually quite good, they were able to accept them slowly.

"Wow, this perfume smells so good!"

"ah?"

"Yes, Lord City Lord!"

Everyone thinks that if Zhang Feng gets these fiefs legitimately, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages. Zhang Feng himself thinks so too, but what he says doesn't count now. It depends on the king's opinion. If he disagrees, everything will be in vain.

The animal-eared girls were not interested in business matters at all, or they just didn't understand them. Seeing this, Zhang Feng stopped talking to Shu Daqiang. After all, it was useless to just talk, he had to see it in person.

Suddenly, a somewhat suspicious voice came from behind.

"Oh my god, I've heard that the perfume in the capital is amazing, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing! The people who make a bottle of perfume are almost the same as our servants! I want to buy a bottle, no, buy dozens of bottles and take them back to show them what the perfume in the capital looks like, and a bottle is only ten gold coins!"

After saying that, the other party placed a bag of coins in front of Zhang Feng.

Shu Daqiang and the women in green and purple were stunned.
