Chapter 399: The Fiancé Ran Away with the Most Beautiful Girl in the World (24)
Mu Changqing thought that the two of them had ended their crazy debate and discussion, and that the meeting would be almost over. However, he did not expect that they were still thinking about verifying their own ideas, which was to experiment and make incense in large quantities.
But they didn't have enough raw materials, so Shu Shichu dragged Mu Changqing out of the mountain to the city to buy raw materials.
When Mu Changqing carried the big bag up the mountain, he didn't understand how he went from being a respected hero to being the housekeeper of Xiang Ye and Shu Shichu, and then continued to degenerate to become a coolie helping them transport raw materials...
"Miss Zhan, do you feel that you seem to be getting more and more rude to me recently? You find it easier and easier to order me around. Now you even ask me to help you transport raw materials up the mountain." Mu Changqing seemed to suddenly realize that this was not his obligation, so he asked Shu Shichu.
Shu Shichu blinked at him and said, "Master Mu, you are a chivalrous, enthusiastic and kind-hearted master. I'm sure you won't refuse to help us transport the raw materials, right? A man like Master Mu who values friendship will be happy to help a friend, right?"
When Shu Shichu could use Mu Changqing, she didn't mind flattering him. Of course, she wouldn't let him work for nothing. She had to bribe him: "Brother Mu, Master Mu, I actually plan to give you some of this batch of spices after Senior Xiang and I have mixed them. After all, these are uncommon incense, and their effects are similar to all kinds of poisons and medicines in the world. They are very rare. If you hadn't taken care of me and helped me a lot during this period, I really wouldn't be willing to share them with you. This is unique. Except for you, me and Senior Xiang, no one else has it. It's very precious..."
Shu Shichu was like a salesman, describing his perfume as a treasure that was unique in heaven and on earth, as if it was his honor to own it.
Of course, she was not wrong. The spices she made this time were indeed very precious. The poisonous incense could kill people without them being seen, and the life-saving incense could snatch people away from the King of Hell. In short, no matter it was killing or arson, or saving oneself or others, they were all indispensable weapons!
Seeing her beaming with joy when she talked about her fragrance, Mu Changqing, who was particularly lively, couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I'll be waiting for your fragrance. I hope the effect is as good as you said."
"The effect is beyond words, it's amazing! If it doesn't work, you can come to me, I will provide after-sales service!" Shu Shichu blurted out, questioning her ability to make perfume, this is intolerable.
"After-sales service guaranteed? That's what you said yourself." Mu Changqing didn't know what she was thinking of. She looked at Shu Shichu deeply, which made her hair all over. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there any problem with after-sales service guaranteed?"
"No problem." Mu Changqing shook his head and replied.
"Is there a kind of fragrance that, after people smell it, will make them fall in love with the person who uses it until death? Or is there a kind of fragrance that can make two people fall in love with each other?" Mu Changqing suddenly blurted out this question.
Shu Shichu was stunned for a moment, then said unhappily, "Spices are not insects, how can they have the effect of love insects? Even if I could really make a scent with such an effect, I would not do such a wicked thing. Relying on external forces to force two people together, isn't this harming people?"
Mu Changqing was startled. He was just joking, but he didn't expect Shu Shichu to react so strongly. He said, "I took it for granted. You're right. Feelings can't be calculated in such an unconventional way."
Shu Shichu then looked at him with admiration and said, "This young boy is teachable."
Seeing her say this seriously, Mu Changqing couldn't help laughing and said, "Yes, thank you Mr. Zhan for your teachings."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they climbed to the top of the cliff. After a few jumps, they returned to the Prime Minister's residence.
Afterwards, Shu Shichu and the Prime Minister worked day and night to study incense making. Mu Changqing could smell all kinds of strange fragrances every day, and all kinds of strange reactions appeared on his body. Fortunately, he had strong willpower and deep inner strength to resist the medicinal power of these spices. If it were an ordinary person, he might be driven crazy by the fragrance of the incense they made.
Finally, when Mu Changqing could no longer bear it and was thinking about hiding for a while and coming back, the two finally ended their crazy incense-making operation.
Shu Shichu really kept her promise and gave one third of the incense she had made to Mu Changqing. She pushed the bottles and jars with names on them in front of Mu Changqing and said, "Keep the incense I promised you. This is the only one of its kind. There is no other store like this!"
Xiang Ye was also very generous this time, probably because Mu Changqing brought him back a rare friend regardless of age difference, and generously gave some of his exclusive incense to Mu Changqing: "This is a bargain for you, kid, that's all, if you want more, there will be no more."
Mu Changqing looked at them with a smile and tears as they distributed various incenses to him as if they were dividing up spoils. He felt a little touched and a little amused, but he was not slow to put them away, for fear that they might regret it.
Shu Shichu gained a lot this time. Not only did she make Xiang Ye, a mentor and friend who expanded her thinking on perfume making, she also successfully formulated new spices that she had never made before, which greatly expanded her spice warehouse. She was very satisfied.
Therefore, when she said goodbye to Master Xiang, she was particularly reluctant: "Master Xiang, I will collect the recipes of other spices in the martial arts world, and when I come to see you, we can discuss it together."
"Okay, I will also prepare some rare incense-making raw materials for you!" Xiang Ye was also reluctant to part with Shu Shichu, the junior who got along particularly well with him. If Shu Shichu's incense-making skills were not similar to his, he would have wanted to take Shu Shichu as his apprentice.
Mu Changqing watched the two people talking reluctantly and couldn't help feeling a little sad. He didn't know whether he was sad because Xiang Ye left his savior aside, or jealous because Shu Shichu was so reluctant to let Xiang Ye go.
After a lot of effort, they finally parted ways, and Mu Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shu Shichu was a little puzzled and asked him: "You have been with Xiang Ye for such a long time, don't you feel reluctant to leave? Maybe it will be several years before we meet again."
Mu Changqing looked at her with complicated eyes and said, "It doesn't matter whether Xiang Ye and I meet or not. I just didn't expect that you and him would have such a deep relationship in such a short time. He is much more enthusiastic towards you than me, his savior."
"Of course, because he and I have the same interests and hobbies. We are close friends regardless of age difference, and we have a tacit understanding when making incense. Sometimes I don't even need to say my ideas, he can understand them perfectly. He is simply another me in this world." Shu Shichu sighed.
Mu Changqing said sourly: "It seems that I did the right thing by letting you meet."
"Indeed, the best thing you did was to introduce us to each other." Shu Shichu nodded.
Mu Changqing, however, had the wrong idea, as if struck by lightning, and said, "Grandpa Xiang is almost seventy years old, and can be your great-grandfather. You can't have any other thoughts about him!"
When Shu Shichu heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have those dirty thoughts in your head. I only regard Xiang Ye as my senior!"
