Perfumer of the Republic of China

When Liu Yanhuan recovered, the two attended the exhibition together.

Different from the perfume exhibitions of later generations, this exhibition is not held by companies to promote their own products. Rather than promoting products, it is more like an exhibition of the history of the perfume industry.

Liu Yanhuan saw the latest dry distillation device at the exhibition, and a perfumer was introducing the impact of alcohol concentration on plant flavors.

Technology is fundamental to ensure the rapid development of the French perfume industry. In addition, Paris, as a trading city with convenient transportation, can quickly receive raw materials from all over the world. France itself also grows many raw materials to supply perfume output.

Liu Yanhuan compared the domestic situation stroke by stroke.

He believes that Meng Sansheng is an excellent platform, and Fan Meng, as the leader, is also very generous.Today's Mengsansheng laboratory is neither short of technology nor raw materials. What is lacking is how to quickly win the recognition of the public and let people recognize Mengsansheng's perfume industry.

Liu Yanhuan walked past a company's booth, took the sample that the company handed over, opened the sample and sniffed it.

Immediately, he frowned: "This is not extracted from natural fragrances, the aroma here is made of aldehydes."

The perfumer behind the booth smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. is an expert, but the sample you are holding is originally our mid-range product, and the fragrance materials used in it are simulated by aldehydes, not Natural fragrance materials. If natural fragrance materials are used, this perfume cannot be put into mass production. In order to meet the needs of more customers, we chose aldehyde fragrance as a substitute."

"We only use natural fragrance materials when making high-end lines. If you are interested, sir, you can visit our store."

The two followed him to the store on Rue Bonaparte.

The shape of the store is very simple, with warm yellow lights inside the dark brown wooden gate.

There are incense cabinets like traditional Chinese medicine cabinets around, giving people a retro feeling.

The shopkeeper poured coffee for the two of them and handed the product brochure to Liu Yanhuan.

Liu Yanhuan opened the thick booklet and found that all the product introduction pictures were sketched by hand, and the source and origin of each spice were clearly written.

"Most of the customers who come to our store attach great importance to quality and have their own unique views on the selection of raw materials, so we try to restore all natural flavors so that customers can have a clear view."

Liu Yanhuan nodded while turning back, and after a while, he saw something that looked like a human body structure diagram.

"what is this?"

"This is a matching map of human body parts and products." The shopkeeper pointed to the back of the hand of the figure in the picture, and took the bottles and jars on the counter.

"This is a sample of our hand cream."

Liu Yan smiled happily at Qin Feiran, "Give me your hand."

He put the hand cream on the back of Qin Feiran's hand, brought it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it: "The aroma of olives."

"That's right, it's extracted from an olive tree from Nice." The shopkeeper pointed to the brochure, "It's clearly written here."

Liu Yanhuan asked Qin Feiran: "Do you like this smell?"

Qin Feiran sniffed it carefully. The hand cream made from natural fragrance materials is different from the product made from aldehyde fragrance. The diffuseness of natural fragrance is not as strong as that of aldehyde fragrance. At first glance, it smells only a light fragrance.

"The fragrance is light but very fresh. Compared with perfumes with complex ingredients, this hand cream is a kind of salvation for noses suffering from odors."

The owner smiled: "This gentleman is right. Some perfumers like to be as complex as possible, and prefer multi-layered perfumes, but we don't think so. We want people in Paris to escape from the bustling and absurd city and use Scent creates a Garden of Eden for them, so simplicity became our motto."

Liu Yanhuan was thoughtful.

Qin Feiran smiled and said to him: "However, I like the texture of this hand cream even more."

Qin Feiran sniffed the fresh olive fragrance: "It should be suitable as a lubricant."

"..." Liu Yanhuan almost threw an entire brochure on his face, and the shop owner, who couldn't understand Chinese, looked at Liu Yanhuan's reddened side face inexplicably.

Subsequently, the owner introduced a variety of products in the store.France's flower planting and grafting technology has developed very rapidly, so there are many types of floral fragrances.

In addition, there is a small amount of leather-based perfume.

Seeing that Liu Yanhuan is a connoisseur, the shop owner felt like he had met a bosom friend: "If you are interested in leather-based perfumes, you should go to Grasse, which has now become a holy place for making perfumes. Tangerines, peaches, roses Chinese rose, these most commonly used spices are grown there, raw material planting and primary processing have become the local pillar industries.”

Liu Yanhuan was startled suddenly.

Glass, how long has he not heard the name of this city.

In his previous life, he went through layers of selection and finally entered the Glass Perfume Academy and became a formal student.

There, he received the most systematic training in perfumery. For those who love perfume, the Grasse Perfume Academy is heaven.

Because there are countless learning resources there, as long as you want, you can scribble your own ideas on the white paper.

There are no restrictions on brand culture, no deadlines to urge you to die, and no weird requirements from Party A.

After Liu Yanhuan stepped into the workplace, Glass's good memories will always be just right to remind him not to forget his original intention.

"I really want to see it."

"Then go."

Both of them were action men who said they would do it, so they set off for Grasse at once.

Although two centuries have passed, the sunshine and blue sky of this town are still the same as Liu Yanhuan remembered.

The humid air makes people's sense of smell more sensitive. Looking at the houses and chimneys in the distance, Liu Yanhuan laughed loudly and said, "Did you know? This is where my dream started."

Seeing Qin Feiran's suspicious gaze, he realized that he had slipped his tongue: "When I was a child, I dreamed at home, and a fairy told me that in the far west, there was a small town where everyone had a basic perfume. Knowledge, every soul is full of creativity, today I finally know that everything in the dream is real, there really is such a place that is not a fairy tale but is better than a fairy tale."

Qin Feiran looked at him with a smile, as if he didn't catch the loophole in his words.

Liu Yanhuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the flower fields of Jasmine and Qiangwei, and said softly, "Qin Feiran, thank you, thank you very much."

A person is busy with work, but willing to spend time with you to relax, willing to accompany you to where you want to go.

There is no reason, Liu Yanhuan is very sure, Qin Feiran must have seen through his confusion and worries before changing the new environment, and only then planned this ingenious trip.

The two stopped and went in Grasse, before the sun set and the tavern on the edge of the city lit up with vague red lights.

When the two entered the tavern, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. The reason was that their dress was too strict and dignified.

It seems that he is not in the same world as the drinking man in the old jacket.

Liu Yanhuan reached out and pulled off Qin Feiran's suit jacket, his tie, and his hair into a casual look.

In a short while, Qin Feiran changed from a standard elite man to a down-and-out gentleman, and everyone laughed at this change.Only when Liu Yanhuan touched Qin Feiran's scorching eyes, his presumptuous hands did not dare to ignite the flames.

They ordered two glasses of whiskey and drank slowly.

The style here is completely different from the restaurant in the resort. People speak loudly, occasionally mixed with swear words and ridicule.

In addition to the drinkers who gathered at the table in twos and threes, there was also a hostess with heavy makeup and big white legs, who was snuggling up to those drinkers at the moment.

Liu Yanhuan pretended not to notice, but in the next second, the hostess let out a scream.

Turning her head to look, she saw that there was dripping liquor dripping from her body.

I heard the politician next to her yelling in a rough voice: "Get out, I'm not in the mood to deal with you. Stocks are falling every day, funds are all locked up, and tariffs are rising every day. I don't have any money. If I have money, I will go to Hong Kong!" The mill."

Liu Yanhuan asked Qin Feiran curiously: "Where is the Moulin Rouge?"

"The Moulin Rouge is one of the most famous nightclubs in France, where the least known secrets of French folk are hidden."

So, the two went to the Moulin Rouge.As soon as you step into the Moulin Rouge, the rhythmic Cancan accompaniment music comes from inside.

Occasionally accompanied by cheers and applause from the men.

Liu Yanhuan looked around, and all he saw were men.

The dancer on the stage wore a long skirt with complicated patterns, and raised her legs to deliberately expose her lower body.

There was another whistle.

Although the men in the audience were excited or fanatical, the dancers on the stage did not even give them a look except to do their best to perform their movements properly.

Standing in the backcourt, Liu Yanhuan asked Qin Feiran softly, "Does this scene seem familiar to you?"

Qin Feiran was silent for a moment, and then said: "That day in Lido, Xu Huanxian was similar to the can-can dance queen on the stage. She seemed to be unrestrained, but in fact she had a clear mind."

"That's right, looking at the one dancing on the stage, I do miss the singing voice of 'Ning Cheng's No. [-] Voice'."

At this time, it was already late at night in Huaguo, and the people who had been partying in the Lido Cabaret all night had already dispersed.

Xu Huanxian took off the black velvet gloves, covered his mouth and yawned, his bright red nails were very conspicuous under the light.

Looking at the empty audience, she somehow felt a sense of loss that everything was empty after the prosperity.

Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from the audience.

Looking up, a drunk man fell off the stool, and he was still muttering: "Sing, keep singing, why don't you keep singing."

Xu Huanxian regained his composure, stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the man's facial features were well-proportioned, and his clothes were fairly neat, but he had drunk too much and smelled of alcohol.

Seeing that he couldn't wake up for a while, she ordered the waiter in the karaoke hall to help him to the guest room.

She didn't know that the drunk man she picked up was Wen Huo who had lost the match in the manor.

After finally settling him down, Xu Huanxian fetched a basin of water and wiped Wen Huo's face with a handkerchief, but Wen Huo grabbed his wrist inadvertently.

Although Wen Huo was drunk, the strength in his hand was surprisingly strong. Xu Huanxian couldn't break free, but Wen Huo murmured unconsciously: "Why, it's obvious that I tuned it better than him. How much effort did Xiang spend, why?!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the movements of his hands became bigger and bigger.

"Let go!" Xu Huanxian was hurt by the pinch, and his tone became stiff.Seeing that the drunk person didn't notice, she directly called the waiter into the room, and the group struggled for a long time before separating the two.

Xu Huanxian was angry and didn't want to stay longer, so when he turned to go out, he said: "Let him pay the room fee tomorrow morning."

The next morning, when Wen Huo woke up, the surrounding area was very quiet, and there was no sound at all.

He clutched his sore forehead, not knowing where he was for a moment, he raised his hand and touched a silk handkerchief left by the bed.

There is a cluster of impatiens embroidered on the top, and two small characters are embroidered on the bottom: return to the fairy.

When Wen Huo gathered enough strength to get out of bed, he froze as soon as he opened the door.

He actually spent the night in the Lido Ballroom and didn't return all night.

This is not at all consistent with the obedient and abstinent image he has built up over the years.I'm afraid that Wen Rulan will complain about him if she finds out about this.

As soon as Wen Huo went out, a waiter's voice came from behind him: "Mr. Wen, Sister Ye said, please settle the room fee for yesterday's stay."

"Sister Ye, who is that?"

"No way, Sister Ye is Ningcheng's first voice Xu Huanxian, didn't you hear her sing yesterday?"

Wen Huo's mind was in a daze, and he vaguely remembered the word "Huanxian" embroidered on the silk handkerchief just now.He politely asked the waiter: "I wonder if you can let me meet her. I want to thank her in person."

"Hey, you don't understand now. Our Lido karaoke hall usually opens at night, but now it's broad daylight and everyone is resting. If you really want to see Sister Ye, please come back at night. Not overnight Sister is not so easy to talk to, so many men begged to strike up a conversation with her, but she refused."

Wen Huo thanked him, put the handkerchief in his pocket, and returned to Wen's house hesitantly.

As soon as he entered the door, the butler made a bitter face: "My eldest master, why did you come back at this hour? The second young master has been looking for you outside for the whole night. The master knows what happened this time, and he is very angry."

Wen Huo clenched his fists, forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I will explain to Grandpa myself."

The Wen family still maintained the old-fashioned traditional building with white walls and black tiles. Wen Huo went to the main house and knocked on the door.

An old voice came from the door: "Come in."

The room was a bit dark, Wen Rulan was lying on the old-fashioned reclining chair, and glanced at the bright place, seeing that it was Wen Huo, his tone became cold: "The wings are hard, right? If you don't return all night, you have forgotten all the rules of the house." It's gone to cloud nine."

Wen Huo was silent and did not speak.

Wen Rulan's cane knocked on the ground: "What's going on with this competition? How did you promise me before you left?"

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I didn't expect this to happen either. I will definitely pay attention next time, and I won't make the same mistake as this time again."

"Who asked you this!" Wen Rulan's voice was very cold.

"I'm asking why you didn't stop your younger brother even though he knew he was using opportunistic methods? Didn't I tell you to protect him? As a brother, that's what you do?"

Wen Huo bowed his head and said, "It's my fault."

"Do you know what people say about our Wen family now? They say that we are jealous of the virtuous and capable, forcing Liu Yanhuan away, saying that we have a vain reputation, and the Wen family has made incense for a century, but it's a laughing stock when I come here. I think you just don't want to make me feel better. !"

Wen Huo's face was very stiff, but Wen Rulan didn't realize this, and continued to criticize endlessly.

"Grandpa, since this is the case, why didn't you agree with Liu Yanhuan's research on new perfumes? You didn't see the scenting instruments in the manor during this competition, and we didn't know many of them at all, but those foreign perfumers, what about these? Things are easy to master, so how do we compare them with others. And Liu Yanhuan, he said that the concept of fragrance is a set, and the fragrance spectrum and recipe that you asked us to memorize are not useful at all. .”

As soon as the words fell, Wen Huo heard a loud shout: "You bastard, how dare you talk back!"

"Grandpa, I'm telling the truth. It's time for you to open your eyes and see the outside world. Now that the emperor has fallen, who cares about the name of an imperial incense shop!"

"It's a big treason, it's a big treason!" Wen Rulan trembled with anger, she stood up, and hit Wen Huo with her crutches.

At this time, there was a sound from the door, and Wen Dafei seemed to enter the door, and hugged Wen Rulan: "Grandpa, calm down, brother is also excited for a while, don't get angry."

With that said, Wen Da looked at Wen Huo who was standing aside: "Brother, please apologize to Grandpa."

"Wenda, you also know what I said is right. When you did this, didn't I persuade you? Have you heard of me? When Liu Yanhuan left that day, it was you who said that he was not from the Wen family. People have a grudge against the Wen family, why are you pushing everything on me now?"

"Wenda is your grandson, am I not? We lost the game together, and you didn't care about me, but asked me why I didn't take good care of him. Grandpa, ask yourself, I haven't tolerated him enough all these years? "

"Brother..." Wen Da stood there in a daze, unable to utter a word.

Wen Rulan's eyes were shattered, and she yelled at Wen Da: "Don't stop me, I'm going to beat this unfilial son to death today."

Saying that, the crutch fell on Wen Huo's back.

"Brother, what are you still doing? Run quickly."

Wen Huo's feet seemed to be driven into nails, and he stood there motionless.

Wen Da was about to vomit blood from the anger of these two stubborn bulls. While ordering his servants to call for a doctor quickly, he stood in front of Wen Huo, blinded by his crutches, and he was also hit a few times.

When the doctor arrived, Wen Huo's shirt was already stained red with blood, and he looked very miserable.Wen Da also looked embarrassed, and Wen Rulan was so angry that his face turned blue and he was panting like a cow.

The doctor's face became serious: "What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and move the wicker chair over here, and carry the young master into the room?"

After being told by the doctor, everyone acted as if waking up from a dream.

The doctor looked Wen Da up and down: "Second Young Master, follow me."

When Wen Da closed the door, Wen Rulan sat down on the chair, looked at the black and white photo in front of him, and sighed deeply.

"Son, don't blame me. It's Wenda who is too unmotivated. I can't swallow the anger in my heart. Back then you loved Zhao Qingyao like crazy, and if you didn't marry her, you would go crazy. There is no other way to take the child over. But I just can't swallow this breath in my heart, and it is even more impossible to hand Shaohua Xiangfang into Wen Huo's hands. In terms of closeness, he doesn't have a trace of the Wen family's blood, I would rather I would rather Liu Yanhuan take over this class."

Hearing these words, a woman in the outer room who was holding tea stopped abruptly when she was about to lift the curtain. She felt her calves trembling, and she retreated trembling all over. Fortunately, Wen Rulan didn't notice the outside room. someone.

Wen Da followed the doctor to the backyard, and was reprimanded by the doctor: "You are so confused, won't you stop me now? If I come a step late today, I'm afraid something will happen to the young master."

Wen Da's forehead was still swollen, but he could only bow his head and listen to the training.

Seeing his good attitude, the doctor finally calmed down, prescribed the medicine, and told him to take the medicine according to the prescription, and he should rest.

Wen Da stood outside Wen Huo's room door for a long time, what Wen Huo just said just kept ringing back in his ear like a tape recorder.

"I haven't done enough all these years? Why have you only had Wenda in your heart for a long time?"
