Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 18 I Don't Want to Waste My Life ([-] in [-])

Seeing the petals turned into a rich aroma, Ah Hao couldn't help showing a joyful expression on his face.

He has also mastered magical supernatural powers!

He has a lot of thoughts about this ability and this formation formation in his mind!
Although nothing seemed to be extracted from the rose flower this time, it just turned into a scent and dissipated.

But he could feel that Lian Chengzhen had indeed extracted the fragrance essence from the flower according to his idea.It's just that the amount he put in is too little!Therefore, the purified essence dissipated in the air and merged into the ground in an instant, leaving only a strong smell that lingers for a long time!

He carefully observed the refining formation again, and found that there were still some powder residues of rose flowers in the middle.

He twisted some and smelled them, and the residue had no smell at all.

It's as if all the smells that once belonged to it have been sucked away.

He smoothed the formation and residue with his feet, making sure that there were no traces left.Quickly left Northon Manor.

Ah Hao took the double-decker bus back to Zu Nana's perfume shop.

He sat in his seat and began to imagine the future.

He is still hot and excited.His door, and the knowledge of the smell in the door, gave him too many surprises.

First of all, this refining formation, he preliminarily estimated that it has a strong purification ability.

Mysterious ancestors used it to smelt iron from iron ore.

However, iron ore processing is not an area that Ahao is familiar with.

So he tried to think if he could use this to make a formation and extract the essence from the flowers.

Turns out, it's totally fine!

And its effect greatly exceeded Ahao's expectations.

It is much superior to the mainstream aroma extraction methods on the market: distillation, solvent extraction, and liposuction!
It is fast, convenient, does not require a container, and can be performed anytime, anywhere.

Moreover, the extracted fragrance is more intense and essence!
Ah Hao closed his eyes and recalled the fragrance of roses wafting from the formation.

This is a smell that ordinary means can't get at all!
The aroma extracted from this refining array does not contain the slightest miscellaneous smell, and can completely retain all the aroma of flowers.

Unlike other aroma extraction methods, it will have some grease and solvent smell.

Only distilled spice essential oils are relatively pure.But distillation cannot retain all the smell of raw materials.

He can guarantee that even if he only uses Lian Chengzhen to extract the scent of roses, it will smell better than all the rose perfumes on the market!

Is this the essence of the rough?

Ah Hao clenched his fists excitedly.

After getting out of the car, Ah Hao walked towards Zu Nana's perfume shop.

He came to resign from the store manager.

As early as the first bottle of perfume [Pinazza Coconut] he made was affirmed, he already had the idea of ​​leaving.

It's just that the time was not ripe at that time, and he wanted to borrow the equipment in the store, so he didn't mention resignation.

Now, he no longer needs the equipment in the shop, or in other words, does not need any secular spice extraction equipment.

Ah Hao smiled and opened the shop door.

"Ma'am, look at this bottle of perfume. This is our latest product. It has a unique island style and coconut aroma. It smells like walking on the beach in RNY. Try it."

When the store manager's greasy voice came, Ah Hao frowned.

wrong!Zu Nana's perfume does not smell of coconut at all, and this description, how does it sound so familiar!
"Really? Hmm~ This fragrance is indeed quite advanced, it reminds people of a beach under the scorching sun."

The female customer opposite the store manager sprayed some perfume on her wrist.

Ah Hao didn't need to look at it, he knew it just by smelling it.The store manager is holding his perfume and selling it to customers!

And it's still his bottle of [fake version] Pina Colada that failed the experiment!
Because he was not satisfied with its taste, he didn't take the bottle of perfume to Wende before, but left it in the store's warehouse.

Unexpectedly, the store manager secretly took his things and was going to buy them!
He walked up to the female customer and smiled softly, "But I'm sorry, lady, this bottle of perfume is not for sale at the moment."

Ah Hao's appearance and smile greatly relieved her guard, and she immediately recognized that Ah Hao was the clerk of this store.

She said disappointedly, "Is that so? That's such a pity. I hope you can come and let me know when you sell it."

"That's for sure. You go." The female customer walked out of the shop disappointed.

On the other hand, the store manager's expression was gloomy, as if dripping water, "What are you doing, Hao! I was going to sell it!"

"It's going to be sold out? Why do you sell my perfume!" Ahao confronted the store manager tit for tat.

The store manager smiled slightly, "You use the equipment and raw materials in the store to make the perfume in the store, that belongs to our store! As for you, you just paid a little labor that should have been paid. .”

"I didn't use the raw materials in the store! I bought these raw materials with money!" Ahao looked directly into the eyes of the store manager Zu Nana angrily.

"That is to say, have you admitted that you used the equipment in the store?" The store manager smiled with a successful plan, and then said: "I can give you the raw material money, but the perfume and this formula still belong to the store. of!"

"Hehe" Ahao was about to laugh out of anger. "you are dreaming."

After feeling Ah Hao's tough attitude, the store manager's tone suddenly softened.

"Ahao, I know it's not easy for you. You secretly use the equipment in the store to make perfume, don't you also want to make money? Well, I will give you an extra bonus of 5000 Canadian dollars this month, as long as you put this bottle of perfume and the formula Hand it over to the company. It can be regarded as compensation for your hard work. Is this okay for the head office?"

Ahao shook his head, he no longer wanted to say anything to the black-hearted capitalist in front of him.And 5000 Canadian dollars would like to buy his formula, which is really whimsical.

After seeing that the Huairou policy was fruitless, the store manager didn't pretend anymore, "You secretly use the equipment in the store to make perfume during working hours, do you think I don't know? Anything you make in the company is owned by the company. !

"Because I paid your wages! So anything you produce should belong to me! Go ask any shop in Agadi, which one is not like this!"

Ahao just looked at him coldly, "I basically carry out perfume research and development during off-duty hours, and almost all the research and development and production are done by myself. Have you or the company provided any help?"

"But the company provides you with a platform and an opportunity! Without our Zu Nana to let you get in touch with perfume, you, a poor boy from the countryside, would you know what perfume is?"

The saliva he said was flying around, and he gave an ultimatum, "Anyway, you must hand over the perfume formula today, or get out of this store!"

"Hehe, this small perfume shop can't accommodate me already!"

Ah Hao snatched his perfume from the manager's hand.Because it is a defective product that lacks all the materials, he doesn't want it to flow out to outsiders.

"I don't need to waste my life in a place that doesn't care who I am!" Ah Hao's eyes shone brightly.

Ah Hao rushed into the warehouse behind the shop, packed up some of his odds and ends as quickly as possible, and put them in the luggage bag that he had brought Agadi back at the beginning.

The store manager chased after him, pointed at Ahao and said, "You go now, you don't even want to get a penny of last month's salary!"

Ah Hao was unmoved.

The store manager eagerly ordered several times with his hands, but he didn't say a word.

It wasn't until Ah Hao packed up his things that he said, "Why are you bothering? Don't you think I want to help you? It's not much better if you sell me the perfume formula than if you find a way to sell it yourself? You stay here , you can continue to use the equipment in the store in the future.”

Ah Hao turned around and left without saying a word. When he reached the door of the store, he said, "Stop talking, store manager. My last month's salary should be regarded as the usage fee for the equipment in the store." , we owe nothing to each other now. I also hope that you will not stay in this perfume shop to rot and stink in the future. "

Ignoring the shouts and curses coming from behind, Ahao left the Zu Nana perfume shop without looking back.

All the curses are weakening in the wind, just like the life trapped in the quagmire will eventually dissipate.

Ah Hao has never felt that the future is so clear.

After leaving the perfume shop, it took a long time for Ah Hao to calm down.

He was half angry and half ridiculous.

When he arrived in front of Zu Nana's perfume shop, he never imagined that the situation would develop like this.

He originally thought that if the store manager tried hard to keep him, he would work for a while and wait for the new employees to come before leaving.

hehe.He laughed that these capitalists can only see the shallow benefits in front of them.

If the store manager always treats him with respect, talk to him with an equal attitude.

It's not that he can't consider working with him.After all, selling Qiao Boss is also selling, and selling the store manager is also selling.

But the store manager has always regarded him as a person inferior to him, and has always regarded him as a "poor boy from the country".

He also tried to steal the fruits of his labor.It's ridiculous.

After taking a deep breath, he decided to let this one go first.

Then he thought of last month's salary that he hadn't paid yet.

He took another deep breath.

A full 2000 Canadian dollars!Including one week of this month, he is really at a loss!
The first person to come up with a month's delay in salary should go to hell!
Although his heart hurts, he is not going to ask for the money back.

Who knows how painful that process will be!
He didn't regret his behavior of throwing his hands away, he just felt a little distressed.

never mind!Just earn it back!

On the streets of Agadi, Ahao tightened his backpack, rallied, and set off again!

After thinking about it, he decided to visit the flower market in Agadhi.

He wants to buy some flowers and extract some spice essential oils first.

No, Ah Hao thought of his purse, which can be called empty.

He may not be able to afford so many flowers!

So he turned around and walked towards the fruit market in Agadi.

In the fruit market in Agadí, a large open space is filled with various stalls.

Wide strips of colorful cloth fluttered over the clearing, shading the stalls from the sun.

Ah Hao walked onto the crowded street.

The fruit market he came to is the most famous one in Agadhi.The colorful fabric ceilings flying all over the sky and cheap and fresh fruits are unique features here.

He looked at the booth, and saw many brightly colored fruits packed in wooden frames by category.The neat array of small vendors carefully stacked makes people feel happy physically and mentally.

Relying on the unstoppable arcane stargate overhead, airships from all over the world brought Agadi a wide variety of fresh fruits.

You can no longer see such a large-scale gathering of fruits anywhere else in the world.

Ah Hao's purpose of coming here is very clear - to buy oranges.

Or, all citrus fruits, such as tangerines, oranges, lemons, grapefruits, limes, and so on.

Citrus fruits have always been frequent visitors in the perfume industry. In Ahao's memory, some people used citrus as spices to make perfume long ago.

Because citrus fruits usually have thicker peels.So it is rich in natural essential oils and very easy to extract.

And they taste great too.The sweet and sour fragrance can make people feel open and comfortable. Adding it to perfume can effectively reduce the discomfort caused by too strong perfume.

There is another reason why Ah Hao likes them, they are cheap.

It may be because of the high yield and easy transportation. Anyway, in the entire Agadi fruit market, the cheapest fruit may be oranges, especially some sour oranges.

Ahao specially picked up those fresh, but sour-looking oranges and bought some.

In addition, he also specially bought some grapefruit.

In Agadi's perfume industry, there has never been a fragrance of grapefruit.

Ah Hao knows that this is because the technology to extract the aroma of grapefruit has not yet been developed.

The common method of extracting citrus essential oils is cold pressing, and this method does not retain the smell of grapefruit at all.

It is said that Zu Nana's headquarters is developing an extraction method to preserve the smell of grapefruit, but it has not been successful.

So he decided to buy some pomelo and try it out with his purified "refinement array".

He believes in his Liancheng Array, if it can successfully extract the aroma of grapefruit, then this will be a milestone breakthrough.

Maybe just by extracting grapefruit essential oil and selling it on the black market, you can earn a lot of money!

But grapefruit doesn't want oranges to be so cheap, so he doesn't buy many, he just waits to go back and try them out.

After buying grapefruit, he suddenly figured out something!

Citrus fruit has become a common spice because it has the advantage of being easy to purify.

But what does this have to do with him?

He used refining arrays to extract spices!

So after buying all the citrus fruits, of course, I also bought a little bit of all kinds of fruits, and went back and tried to see what I could extract!

After a big purchase, Ah Hao opened his wallet.

He found that his already shriveled wallet was completely empty.

Ah Hao smiled bitterly, because he found that he could only walk home with two big bags of fruit.

Accidentally, he spent all the money on the bus to buy fruit!
