Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 142

Ah Hao picked up the business card in his hand and looked at it again, and made a second comparison with the house number in front of him.

He was standing in front of a row of row houses.The townhouses in these cities are built along the street, not wide in area, but deep in depth, and they all have a height of three floors.Most of the people who can afford this kind of townhouses in Upper Agadí are the middle class with money and leisure.

"Ding dong."

He rang the doorbell.

"Just put the magazine by the door when it arrives." A familiar but perfunctory voice came from inside the house.

"Mr. Kennedy, it's me, Ah Hao!"

Hasty and hurried footsteps sounded.Kennedy, grizzled and homely dressed, opened the door.

"Ahao!" Kennedy had a surprised expression on his face, "You finally remembered to look for me. Are you here to ask about the game?"

"Uh, no, but we can also chat."

"Come in and talk, come in and talk."

Kennedy welcomed Ahao in enthusiastically, making Ahao hold back all the words he had prepared.

He could only carry the things in his hands and walked into Kennedy's house.

"Queenie, there are guests! Hurry up and prepare some refreshments." Kennedy said loudly to the room.

"I just made some pie, I'll put it in the oven right away."

A silver-haired woman hastily put down the newspaper in her hand, put on an apron and walked into the kitchen.Before entering the kitchen, she glanced at Ahao curiously.

Ah Hao waved to her: "Don't bother, you are too polite. I'll just sit down for a while and leave."

"No trouble, just sit down for a while, Queenie can make it very quickly. And she likes baking." Kennedy smiled and led Ahao to the living room on the left.

Ah Hao took the opportunity to look at the house.

In the middle of the entrance is a Z-shaped staircase leading to the second floor.On the left side of the stairs is the living room, with some sofas, chairs and wooden tables.On the right side of the stairs is the kitchen, which has a fairly spacious cooking table and dining table.

Queenie, presumably Mrs. Kennedy, was closing the kitchen door to keep the smoke from escaping.

He didn't see a place like a bedroom for the time being, there might be one upstairs.

After the two sat down on the sofa, Kennedy couldn't wait to say:
"How is it? Are you here to ask about the perfume contest?"

"Well, it's not, we can talk about this matter later. I'm here this time to give you some gifts."

Ah Hao finally found the opportunity to give away the things he had been carrying in his hand.

"Mr. Kennedy, these are the perfumes I just developed recently. I hope you can taste them. If you have any comments, please let me know."

He brought the two beautifully packaged bottles of perfume to the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Kennedy opened the package with surprise on his face: "So soon, there are new perfumes? It's still two bottles! Ah Hao, your research and development speed is really shocking."

Ah Hao said with a smile: "These two bottles are both woody-toned perfumes. I'm also new to this type of fragrance. You can try it first."

"This bottle is called [Desert Heart], and it is an oriental spicy perfume created with the theme of the desert." Ahao pointed to the bottle of perfume that Kennedy opened and said.

After Kennedy sprayed the perfume on his left wrist, he savored it carefully.

"The artistic conception of the vast yellow sand is described lightly, and all the scenes are connected like clouds and flowing water. Tsk tsk, the perfume that depicts the desert is not popular. Your perfume is a masterpiece of this type! "

Kennedy excitedly said to Ahao: "The oriental spices that go straight to the top of the sky are really enjoyable! This taste of flying sand and rocks is completely addictive."

When Kennedy lavishly praised him, Ahao just accepted the praise modestly. "Then why don't you try another bottle of perfume [Path to Hades]?"

Road to Hades is the new perfume that Ah Hao developed yesterday inspired by the mummy tomb.

When Kennedy heard it for the first time, he showed a rather surprised expression, but then slowly frowned.

"This perfume is very bold. Lily and incense form a sense of silence; the combination of floral and sandalwood is also very clever. But to be honest, the smell is still a bit strange. I feel"

Kennedy stopped talking.It seems to want to consider the sentence.

"You speak boldly. I'm here for advice."

"Then I'll just say it straight."

Kennedy felt relieved, and then changed the topic:
"The previous Heart of the Desert was so much artistically accomplished that I think it would be popular, if not more practically.

"But with this fragrance, the theme is very intriguing and the name is very good. The smell is not so extreme, it is a bit banal. I feel that you are trying to strike a balance between practicality and artistry. But in doing so, it makes both Not very prominent.

"My opinion is that it doesn't matter whether you want to go the artistic way or the popular way, but you can't sway."

Ah Hao nodded thoughtfully.

"Either it smells a bit more hellish, and directly makes a more hellish perfume.

"Or just make a perfume for Yang Jian. If it's neither Yin nor Yang, it won't work. Is that what you mean?"

Kennedy was directly choked by Ahao's yin-yang metaphor.

"...You can understand it that way."

At this moment, the kitchen door was opened.Queenie was walking over with a plate of things in thick cotton gloves.

Kennedy said in a saved tone:

"Try the lemon tart made by my lovely lady. This is her family's secret recipe. It's sour and not greasy, and it tastes great."

Hear Kennedy's words.At Queenie's age, she still showed a hint of shame: "Young man, be careful, it's just out of the oven."

Ah Hao's nostrils couldn't help but move: "It has a very strong lemon fragrance."

Under the warm hospitality of the Kennedys, he tasted a freshly baked lemon tart.

"Crispy tart crust, sweet and sour lemon filling. The fragrance is really charming, and it tastes just right, not sweet at all!"

Ahao's generous compliment made Mrs. Queenie laugh from ear to ear.

Agadi's desserts are all super sweet.Thanks to the convenient transportation of the Offa Stargate, the price of sugar in Agadi is quite low.The low sugar price has caused some subtle changes in the chef's mentality.It seems that only if there is more sugar, can it be regarded as Agadi cuisine.Ah Hao was made miserable by this kind of sweetness.So Mrs. Queenie's non-sweet dessert surprised him a lot.

"Then you continue talking, I'm going back to the kitchen." Mrs. Queenie walked away with an empty plate contentedly.

"Ahem, Ahao, do you have any questions about the competition?" Kennedy wiped his mouth and looked at Ahao expectantly.

Ah Hao didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, but seeing Kennedy's eagerness, he asked casually:
"What's the schedule like for the game?"

"I didn't know about it two days ago, but I figured it out today." Kennedy raised his eyebrows proudly, "The competition is divided into three parts. Some people will be eliminated in the first two parts, and in the final part, they will be decided at once." Win or lose. The game will last for about two days, which means it will be finished this weekend."

"So our strategy is also very simple. Try not to be eliminated in the first two rounds, and then explode at the end to strive for a high ranking."

Ahao nodded: "I roughly understand."

After another chat in Kennedy's house, Ahao declined the invitation to have dinner together.He left with a warm welcome from the couple.
