Chapter 46 Success
When Chen Wanrong returned home, he saw Zheng Qing coming with a smile, with a happy look on his face. Chen Wanrong thought to himself and asked, "Is the perfume ready?"
"Yes!" Zheng Qing nodded with a smile, her neck tilted, and she said a little mischievously: "I want to find you to confirm, but everyone is not there."
Chen Wanrong went out to work on major issues, so he was naturally not here. Chen Wanrong was a little happy and a little guilty: "It's my fault, I didn't smell the perfume you matched right away."
Zheng Qing heard what he meant and smiled and said, "Don't blame yourself, it's nothing. I haven't smelled it yet."
Chen Wanrong was very moved by her thoughts and took her jade hand and said, "Where are you? Smell it for me. My wife is definitely worthy of it."
Zheng Qing was both happy and a little shy. She gave Chen Wanrong a blank look and said angrily: "I've talked nonsense again. Let's go, let's smell it for you."
Chen Wanrong followed her to the room where she was debugging the perfume. Zheng Qing took out the perfume and said, "Smell."
After smelling it, a special fresh smell came to my face, like a clean spring water. Chen Wanrong was excited and blurted out: "Okay, that's great!"
Zheng Qingyan smiled and said, "What a great thing, it took me a lot of geniuses to match it. It's so slow."
It took a very long time to prepare a perfume. She had only been a few days ago, which was already amazing. Chen Wanrong gently scraped her nose: "Don't be greedy, this is already very good. However, you have to try this perfume to determine if there is a problem."
Zheng Qing's eyes widened: "Do you still have to try?"
"That's right, you have to try." Chen Wanrong explained to her: "If you don't try, how can you know if it's stable? If it's unstable, isn't that harming people?"
Zheng Qing didn't think about this at all. She opened her mouth unnaturally and was stunned for a moment before asking, "How to try?"
Chen Wanrong grabbed her, sat down, and said, "This perfume applied to her body and continued to evaporate over time. Some ingredients evaporate faster, some ingredients evaporate slower, and the ingredients have changed, so the fragrance will naturally be different."
Zheng Qing felt something, nodded and said, "So that's it. I thought it was good to smell it, but I didn't expect that there was such a priority."
Chen Wanrong explained to her again: "Perfume is a very particular high-end product, and there can be no mistakes. I believe you already know that people who can afford perfume are rich people. They are rich, tasteful, and are very particular in everything. If the perfume is not stable enough, the fragrance is good at the beginning, but then it gradually changes to a strange smell, isn't that harmful? They will definitely scold us."
If this is the case, the consequences will be serious. Zheng Qing's face suddenly changed: "This is this..."
Chen Wanrong comforted her and said, "Don't be anxious. Just try it if a perfume is useful. Before trying it, I will explain the perfume to you first. From now on, you will have to support the perfume."
Zheng Qing was very surprised. She looked at Chen Wanrong, and asked, "Then what are you doing?"
"I have something more important. I have to make a weapon for the court to attack Shibao City." Chen Wanrong said about the incident when he went to the Prince's Mansion.
After Chen Wanrong finished speaking, Zheng Qing opened her mouth in surprise, covered her mouth with her right hand, her eyes widened, and looked at Chen Wanrong tightly: "You can actually make weapons?" Although she knew Chen Wanrong, she could not have the ability of a weapon supervisor, otherwise she would be surprised.
Chen Wanrong patted her shoulder and said, "I only know how to make gunpowder, and I don't know anything else. I have to cooperate with the masters of the Weapons to make cannons. However, I believe that when the prince goes, Master Ye and the others will agree. So, I will have more things to do, and the perfume matter can only be supported by you."
It was Zheng Qing's wish to share the burden for her lover, and nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best."
Chen Wanrong couldn't help but wrap around her slender waist and sighed: "Some people say that there is a great woman behind a successful man. You are my great woman, so I am so lucky!"
Zheng Qing was both happy and a little unable to bear it. She smiled and said, "I am not that good, I just do my best. If it doesn't suit you, don't blame me."
With her intelligence, Chen Wanrong would not be dissatisfied. He smiled and said, "Don't say that, I will be satisfied. Come on, I will tell you about the perfume now."
Zheng Qing nodded, snuggled beside Chen Wanrong, blinking her eyes, waiting for Chen Wanrong to speak.
Chen Wanrong sorted out his thoughts and said: "This perfume is divided into three parts: top notes, middle notes and tail notes. The top notes are the ingredients that are most easily volatile, giving people an overall impression, and lasting for a short time, only for a short time. The middle notes are the core part and the main taste of the perfume, which usually lasts for two hours. The tail notes are the slowest volatile part, which usually lasts for one day."
"Does the taste different at each stage?" Zheng Qing asked.
Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "That's right. The perfume must be applied to a place where light cannot be seen, otherwise there will be problems."
Perfume is made of a variety of ingredients. If applied to a place where the sun can be exposed, it may cause photochemical reaction with the sun because some essence oils contain furan, causing discomfort in the skin, causing inflammation or spot-like dark spots.
Although Zheng Qing didn't understand the reason, she believed that what her lover said was always right. She believed Chen Wanrong unconditionally and nodded and said, "Well, I remember."
"Come on, you apply perfume on your wrist first." Chen Wanrong instructed Zheng Qing to use perfume.
Zheng Qing was very surprised and suspicious: "Put it on your wrist? Why didn't it apply directly on the parts behind your ears that were not visible to the sun?"
Chen Wanrong was not surprised at all when the first person to use perfume had this reaction and smiled and said, "You have to apply perfume to your wrist first, and then apply it to other parts."
Zheng Qing understood, and just did not speak, applying perfume to her wrist. Chen Wanrong nodded again and dipped it in a little perfume with her middle finger, rub it behind her ears, neck, end of her hair, etc. Finally, she asked her wrist to touch the inside of her elbow.
This method of using it is far from what Zheng Qing can imagine. She is shocked and fresh. The more she wipes, the more she becomes, the more she is, and her eyes become brighter. When she finishes applying, there are still many on her wrists, and she frowned and said, "What should I do?"
"A small matter. You can apply it on clothes." Chen Wanrong proposed a solution.
Zheng Qing was a little surprised: "Can you sprinkle it on your clothes?"
Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Yes!" Zheng Qing hurriedly wiped her wrists on her clothes for a while until they were all wiped. After wiping them all, she applied several parts of her clothes. After smelling it, it smelled fragrant and was very happy.
Perfume is a favorite among women. Although Zheng Qing is a talented woman, she is no exception. She was the first time she used perfume in her life. She was extremely excited and sniffed for a while and couldn't help but frown: "How can it smell like wine? If it doesn't smell like wine, how great it would be."
Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "It is impossible to make perfume without alcohol, so there will inevitably be a smell of alcohol during use. After a while, the alcohol will evaporate before the smell of perfume will be smelled."
Zheng Qing made a perfume for a few days and naturally knew the importance of alcohol and stopped talking. She just sniffed her, with excitement and expectation on her face, and wanted to smell the perfume as soon as possible.
After a while, Zheng Qing screamed excitedly: "Really, really, it smells so good, it smells the same as water."
Chen Wanrong's nose was pretty good. When he smelled it, as Zheng Qing said, a fresh smell of water came to his face, which made people feel energetic and praised: "No, good, that's it."
Zheng Qing was excited for a while: "Let's go and see Qing'e." Without waiting for Chen Wanrong to speak, she pulled Chen Wanrong and left. Qing'e is her good sister. Zheng Qing was eager to share it with her, so she was naturally indispensable. Chen Wanrong thought that this perfume was matched and he should try it more. He had no objection, so he followed her.
When he came to Qing'e's room where she prepared perfume, he saw Qing'e's nose with crystal sweat beads hanging on her nose, very focused. Zheng Qing blinked at Chen Wanrong naughtyly and walked towards Qing'e with his hands and feet. Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing had never seen her so naughty, so he naturally fulfilled her and stood still.
Zheng Qing came behind Qing'e, stretched out her jade hand, covered Qing'e's eyes, and screamed: "Guess who I am?"
Qing'e was shocked and scared, almost screaming. He heard Zheng Qing's voice and burst out laughing. In her memory, Zheng Qing was so naughty that she must have had a great thing. She was determined to make a joke with Zheng Qing and shouted in a sharp voice: "Ghost, you can eat people, help me!"
Zheng Qing felt bored, let go of Qing'e, and said angrily: "It's not fun at all."
Qing'e smiled and said, "Miss, what good things do you have? Tell me about it."
Zheng Qing's depressed mood suddenly became high: "Hmph, I won't tell you."
Qing'e glanced at Chen Wanrong, and muttered a few words in Zheng Qing's ear with bad intentions. Zheng Qing's face turned red all of a sudden. She grabbed Qing'e and asked Chen Wanrong for help: "Hurry up, help me hit this bad guy with broken mouth!"
It’s better not to participate in the matter between women. Chen Wanrong coughed and said, “Qinge, tell me, what did you say just now? Otherwise, I’m not polite.”
"Not allowed!" Zheng Qing was the first to object.
Qing'e is now in a good mood and smiled and said, "Miss, then you have to spare me."
Zheng Qing had no choice but to let her go and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense anymore."
Qing'e responded, her nose kept twitching, and she looked surprised: "Miss, have you made it? Hurry up, smell it for me. Wow, Miss, you smell it so good." She circled around Zheng Qing, excited, and wanted to apply something on her body immediately.
Chen Wanrong extorted: "The perfume is here with me. If you say what you just said, I will let you wipe a little."
Qing'e twisted her neck and was not fooled: "Hmph, you want me to betray the lady, you think beautifully."
Zheng Qing was very helpful and said repeatedly: "This is a good sister! Qing'e, come, I'll apply it to you." He exclaimed Chen Wanrong's little tongue, and was so happy that he was very happy.
The two of them have always been the same party, and Chen Wanrong has no choice but to let them mess around. However, Chen Wanrong can imagine what Qing'e said just now, and there is no need to force her to say it.
Zheng Qing taught Qing'e to use perfume while talking and laughing. When the two of them finished their work, Chen Wanrong walked up and sniffed Zheng Qing. Qing'e frowned and looked at Chen Wanrong, as if he didn't know each other: "Miss, why is he like this? Don't you avoid it?"
Chen Wanrong mischievously said, "What should I avoid? I still want to smell you."
Qing'e screamed in fear, jumped far away, and got goosebumps all over her body: " Stay away from me, don't come here."
Chen Wanrong didn't care at all: "Look at you like you are like I have bad intentions. I had goose bumps falling on the ground, and I heard it all."
Zheng Qing comforted Qing'e and said, "Where do you want to go? We are verifying the perfume today. If we don't smell it, how can we know if it's easy to use."
Qing'e finally understood and muttered, "You didn't say it earlier, but they thought you had changed your temper. Miss, just smell it." She didn't scold Chen Wanrong, as she accumulated virtue.
Chen Wanrong reminded him: "When applying perfume on the body, the fragrance will change differently depending on the person, and it is impossible to be sure if you don't smell it." The perfume and skin have some reactions, which will cause some unexpected changes in the fragrance.
Qing'e had no choice but to say, "I've said it earlier, so I won't be able to do it."
Zheng Qing smiled and said, "If you don't apply, how can you know if it's easy to use?"
"Miss, you're going to hurt me." Qing'e kept staring at Chen Wanrong, very worried.
Seeing that she was so scared that Chen Wanrong said, "I'm not that despicable. You, go to Zheng Mansion later and let your mother-in-law smell the smell on you. What changes will happen. Remember, you need to report when you come back."
Such actions are much better than to Chen Wanrong. If you can report the changes in the fragrance, there is nothing you can do. If you don’t report it, you can’t be sure. After thinking about it, Qing'e said, “I’ll tell the lady, okay?”
"Of course!" Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "How many girls in the Zheng Mansion, bring more perfume to them and apply them too, and smell them more."
Qing'e would not object to this proposal. At that moment, he took the perfume and went to Zheng Mansion. Zheng Qing punched Chen Wanrong on the shoulder: "Look at you, I scared Qing'e so much."
Chen Wanrong laughed: "Who told her to always go against me? If you don't take advantage of this kind of opportunity, it would be too stupid. What did she just say?"
Zheng Qing gave Chen Wanrong a blank look and said, "I won't tell you."
After playing for a while, Chen Wanrong returned to the main business and said, "You have been applying perfume for a long time. The smell has not changed much. It is still so fresh. There should be no big problem. We should prepare for the sale of perfume now, so we have to invite Brother Ma and Brother Gao."
Zheng Qing frowned and said, "What about us? I will talk to you on behalf of my family." Naturally, a good thing like perfume is indispensable.
Chen Wanrong joked: "That won't work. If a married woman is splashed with water, you can't talk to me if you marry me."
"I find that your face is getting thicker and thicker." Zheng Qing refused to do it.
Chen Wanrong called Niu Shangxin and asked him to invite Ma Gao and the other two. After explaining this, Chen Wanrong prepared to do gunpowder. Chen Wanrong was familiar with the three components and proportions of gunpowder, so there would be no problem. If he wanted to get gunpowder with great power, the saltpeter had to be sucked and the purity was increased.
Boiling salt is very simple for Chen Wanrong. It is just a solubility issue. If you use it well, you can get saltpeter with high purity, and you can complete it with a stove. Get a few pots and ask someone to build the stove.
Not long after the matter was explained, Gao Ma and his two arrived one after another.
"Brother, what's the matter with me?" Ma Zhizhong asked the whole story as soon as he met.
Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother Ma, let's go to the house to talk." When he came to the house, the servants brought tea and each took their seats. Chen Wanrong put the perfume on the table and said, "Brother Ma, Brother Gao, you can smell it."
As soon as Ma Zhizhong smelled it, his eyes suddenly shone: "It smells so fragrant, so fresh. What is this? It smells so fragrant that it makes people feel energetic when they smell it."
After hearing this, Tai praised her endlessly. Her eyes rolled and she understood the truth: "Brother, you are not going to make us rich again, right?"
After he reminded him, Ma Zhizhong also understood and his eyes shone: "Brother, this thing is probably very popular. This time, Lao Gao and I posted it again. Let's do this. This commission is still the same rule. I will do other things with Lao Gao."
Chen Wanrong shook his head and said, "We can't give you a commission according to the previous method. We can only share a 10% profit to you."
"Yizheng?" Ma Zhizhong was a little surprised: "Brother, it's not that big brother is greedy. You know that we have worked together for so long and have a very unusual relationship."
High Definition Tai quickly agreed, "Yes."
Chen Wanrong interrupted them and said, "The two brothers don't know that this perfume is different from soap. I can only make the raw materials for perfume. As for this formula, it is a big problem. Different people will give different fragrances, so I will give 20% bonus to those who find the formula."
"So that's how it is!" Gao Ma and the others suddenly realized.
Gao Qingtai smiled and said, "Perfume will definitely be sold at a good price, and it will be no more than 10%. Brother, in my opinion, you make a batch first, let's try it first, and then determine the price. If soap is followed this method, the price will be higher."
"Okay." Chen Wanrong agreed readily. Chen Wanrong invited Wu Daozi, Wang Han, and Zheng Qing, and several others to discuss various issues about perfume, and then they dispersed.
