Perfumer of the Republic of China

Liu Jingzhi's body was discovered by the woman who delivered the food.

When she found out, there was a white silk hanging on the beam of the room, and she ended her young but scarred life like this.

The third concubine, Feng Yun, almost fainted from crying, Liu Yanhuan stood in front of her and let her beat her.

"You loser, if it wasn't for you, nothing would happen to Jing Zhi; if you brought her home that night, she wouldn't..."

Liu Yanhuan silently endured the beating and scolding.

Shocked by the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away, Liu Mingchong and Feng Yun fell ill one after another.

On the day of the funeral, Liu Yanhuan was the head of the Liu family.After the coffin was buried, amidst the crying, Liu Yanhuan heard Guo Bin's deep voice.

"Young Master Liu, my husband is here to invite you."

Liu Yanhuan turned around in surprise, and saw Qin Feiran's black GM parked in the distance.

He stepped forward suspiciously and knocked on the car window.

"boarding."

Liu Yanhuan got into the car, and Qin Feiran handed him a paper bag.

"This is?"

"You can take a look at the sample draft of the new book first. If you think the subject matter is acceptable, I will continue to write."

Liu Yanhuan stared blankly at Qin Feiran, and it took several minutes to digest the fact: "You really want to cooperate with Liu's Bookstore?"

"This is just the next book. If you don't do well, the cooperation is only once."

"I understand, don't worry."

Qin Feiran looked at the crowd outside the car window, and said softly, "Are you going to inherit the family business?"

Liu Yanhuan was silent for a while, then shook her head: "I have no such plan."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to be a perfumer, maybe you sound unrealistic."

"Perfumer?"

"That's right, most of the high-end perfumes sold in department stores are imported from abroad. I want to create my own perfume brand and build a domestic perfume industry."

Qin Feiran didn't answer for a long time.

Liu Yanhuan glanced at him belatedly: "You must think I'm talking foolishness."

"No, I think your idea is very good. As a human being, you always have the right to dream."

Liu Yanhuan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"What? Don't agree with what I said?"

"No, I just didn't expect that you would encourage me."

"It's not purely an encouragement, but a reminder."

"What do you mean?"

"The current Liu family is not enough to support your dreams. In the process, you will encounter countless difficulties. For example, your starting capital, labor costs, and the consumers of the products, all need You think about it. If you don't have enough patience and concentration, it will be nothing."

Liu Yanhuan was stunned. From the time travel to the present, his comfortable life was full of chaos, and he was always involved in various incidents.And Qin Feiran was the only one who told him to find the right direction here and now.

"I understand, thank you." Liu Yanhuan said this thank you sincerely.Before that, he had always thought that Qin Feiran was the kind of person who had no worries about food and clothing and was proud and conceited. It was only now that he realized that perhaps the person in front of him knew better than anyone else what he wanted.

"Actually, if you want to become a perfumer, there are ready-made support right now."

"Huh?" Liu Yanhuan didn't know why.

"The Shaohua Xiangfang of the Wen family is well-known in Ningcheng. As the grandson of the Wen family, I shouldn't worry about it."

"The Wen family?" Liu Yanhuan's eyes widened.

"You don't know?" This time it was Qin Feiran's turn to be surprised, "Isn't Wen Rulan, the master of incense in Ningcheng, your grandfather?"

"Uh... I was seriously ill before, and I can't remember many things clearly." Liu Yanhuan said softly.

Qin Feiran took a deep look at him: "The Wen family has a pivotal position in the incense industry, if you can get the old man's approval, it will definitely help you."

Liu Yanhuan returned to Liu's house full of worries, called Jin Ni, and learned about the situation in detail.

As Qin Feiran said, his grandfather is Wen Rulan, a master of incense and Taoism in Ningcheng.

However, Jin Ni hesitated a little in his words: "Back then, the wife and the master decided to live in private, and there was a quarrel with the family, but the Wen family was still afraid of wronging the wife, so they gave a lot of dowry, and now these are in the hands of the second wife. "

Liu Yanhuan took the account books from the accounting room and checked them briefly, only to find that there was a real estate, two farms, some jewelry and cash under the name of her biological mother, and Liu Mingchong handed these over to Chen Guifang for management.

Liu Yanhuan made a new list, thinking carefully about how to get on line with the Wen family.

Wen Rulan is an elder with profound knowledge and serious temperament.Because she was dissatisfied with her daughter's marriage, every time Liu Yanhuan went to Wen's house, all she saw was the old man's cold face.Originally, he had the temperament of a demon king in the world. At first sight of such a strict elder, he was very conflicted in his heart, and he had never been close to the two elders of the Wen family.

After Liu Yanhuan's biological mother passed away, Mrs. Wen once wanted to take Liu Yanhuan into her lap and raise her.But Chen Guifang was reluctant to bear the dowry of the main house, so she refused to agree.Liu Yanhuan was also afraid of Wen Rulan who had a cold face, so the matter of raising her was left alone.After that, the Wen family also sent people many times to ask about their grandson's condition. The Liu family sent them away several times. After so many times, the Wen family became cold-hearted about Liu Yanhuan, their grandson, and stopped asking.

As soon as Liu Yanhuan wanted to get close to the Wen family, the opportunity came.It was the end of the new year, and the temple fair in the first month was very lively. When Liu Yanhuan walked to Shaohua Xiangfang, he saw that the gate was crowded.

Liu Yanhuan asked curiously: "Why are there so many people in Shaohua Xiangfang today?"

"You don't know, today is the [-]th birthday of Wen Rulan, the head of Xiangfang, and Shaohua Xiangfang is setting up a ring."

"Setting up the ring?"

"No, you have to pass five levels first, and each level will give you a kind of incense. If you can smell the ingredients in the formula, you can challenge the master."

"Who is the champion?"

"The young master of the Wen family, Wen Huo."

Liu Yanhuan stood in the crowd and watched.

Because smelling a kind of incense, you can take it away for free, so many people are eager to try it.

But most people can only pass the first two hurdles, and from the third hurdle onwards, people have been defeated one after another.

The one with the best grades can only touch the edge of the fifth level, and has no chance to see the true face of the young master of the Wen family behind the curtain.

When another challenger was defeated, the crowd was already discussing.The guy on the stage smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, are there any challengers on stage?"

Although there were whispers in the crowd, no one came to the stage.

After the curtain was drawn, Wen Da, the second youngest of the Wen family, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Look, grandpa, I just said that there is no genius in this world. No one who can compare with big brother in Ningcheng has yet to be born."

Wen Huo, the eldest young master of the Wen family, was calm. He held the teacup in one hand and gently blew on the tea noodles.

Wen Rulan's face was livid, he tapped the ground with his crutches, and said in a deep voice, "Shut up, if you weren't so useless, would I have made such a foolish plan?"

Wen Da murmured softly: "Isn't there still a big brother, I will be responsible for eating and cooking."

Wen Huo smiled when he heard this, and raised his hand to stroke Wen Da's hair.

Wen Rulan sighed: "You guys, learning is always superficial, but you don't know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the people."

The three of them were talking, when suddenly there was excitement outside.

Liu Yanhuan walked up to the stage and stopped by the first table. The censer exuded wisps of fragrance. Liu Yanhuan picked up the censer, gently brought the fragrance to the tip of her nose, and said without thinking, "Rosemary."

Then he didn't pause at all, and didn't wait for the buddy to announce the result, he went straight to the second incense burner.

"This one is gardenia incense." After saying that, he went straight to the third incense burner.

"This one is a simple incense, using powdered agarwood and musk." The third incense was also cracked, so fast that the shop assistants forgot to speak.

Behind the curtain, Wen Da said in surprise: "It's so fast, it seems like he is an expert."

"The fourth furnace." Liu Yanhuan smiled lightly, "This is Tibetan spring incense. The ingredients are Jiangzhen incense powder, clove grains, borneol, musk, and refined honey is mixed in it. It should be incense pills."

The guy nodded blankly.

"If he can pass the fifth level, he will break the record." Looking at Liu Yanhuan's back, Wen Huo murmured.

"Brother, it doesn't matter, even if he can smell the fifth incense, your strength is far above him."

Liu Yanhuan sniffed the fifth fragrance: "This one is the famous product Xuezhongchunxin. Agarwood, white sandalwood, clove, woody fragrance, nard pine, ageratum, linglingxiang, angelica dahurica, Uighur fragrance, aconite, angelica, musk, laurel, Betel nut, cardamom."

According to the recipe list at hand, the buddy said with trembling hands, "Answer...that's right!"

The crowd was jubilant, facing the rising voice, Wen Huo stood up: "Grandpa, let me go meet him."

Wen Rulan was silent for a long time, then nodded.

When Wen Huo saw the person coming, the smile on his face froze: "Yan Huan? Why are you?"

Looking at the noble attire and steady demeanor, Liu Yanhuan knew that the person in front of her must be the young master of the Wen family——Wen Huo.

"Cousin, would you like to compete with me?"

"Stop it."

"I was serious."

Seeing Liu Yanhuan's serious expression, Wen Huo was startled, but finally nodded.

The two of them opened the kit at the same time, and there were only four words on it: Mei E Yi Xiang.

Liu Yanhuan was taken aback for a moment, really all kinds of emotions came to mind.The two looked at each other, then picked up a pen and wrote on the paper.

After a while, the two presented the written incense prescription to Wen Rulan.Wen Rulan browsed through the prescriptions of the two, and said hoarsely: "Call that young master to come in."

Wen Da's eyes widened for a moment: "Impossible, how could he answer better than elder brother!"

Wen Rulan handed him the prescription: "You can see for yourself."

Wen Da looked over and knew where the problem was.

The ingredients written by the two are almost the same, the biggest difference is that Liu Yanhuan also wrote the dosage next to each spice, but Wen Huo did not.

"Grandpa, it's not fair, brother obviously did not make a mistake!"

"He did not make a mistake. The fragrance can be made and matched, and the ingredients can be changed, but the dosage is the yardstick. When writing a fragrance recipe, only the recipe is not enough, and the dosage is the key to success or failure. Therefore, it is indeed this A young man won.
