Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 4 A Holiday in the Bar
Ah Hao was surprised to see the woman in the white dress passed out on the sofa.

In addition to the coconut fragrance permeating her body, there was also a burst of pleasant sweetness coming from her body.

"Mary? What's the matter? Wake up, Mary!"

Boss Joe was the first to find Mary unconscious, and he was shaking Mary's shoulders vigorously.

"What happened to Mary?! What did you do?"

Boss Qiao turned his head and looked at Ahao with bloodshot eyes.

"Impossible, Boss Joe. None of us has ever left your sight."

Ahao spread his hands to Boss Joe, and then turned to look at Wende. He really didn't pay attention to what happened, he was just busy bargaining.

Wende didn't know what happened, but he was more careful.

He saw a straw stuck in a perfume bottle on the table.

Picking it up casually, he found that half of the original full bottle of perfume was gone.

"Mary seems to have drank the perfume?" He was puzzled and shocked and showed everyone the perfume bottle with the straw inserted.

A straw in a perfume bottle?
"Fuck, this crazy woman! She really can do anything.

"Come on, give me a hand and help take her to the hospital."

Boss Joe knew he had misunderstood.

"Boss Qiao, don't be in a hurry. Mary doesn't seem to be serious." After knowing that the woman just drank the perfume, Ah Hao calmed down. "She should just be drunk."

The smell on Mary's body is reassuring and comfortable, as if immersed in a sweet dream.

"Drunk? What do you mean?"

After hesitating, Ahao still revealed a piece of information: "Well, the solvent in this bottle of perfume is actually vodka."

"So Miss Mary is probably just drunk, although I don't know why she would want to drink perfume."

Boss Qiao showed a puzzled expression after hearing this, but calmed down.He went up to check Mary's state carefully, and found that she really seemed to be drunk.

Boss Joe carried Mary to the corner of the sofa, and took off his leather coat to cover her.

When he came back, he let out a long breath, obviously feeling a lot more relaxed.

It seems that Boss Joe is quite concerned about Mary.

Ahao thought they were just that kind of relationship before.

"Vodka, hey, why use vodka for perfume?"

"Secret, this involves the formula. We agreed before, let's not talk about the formula, Boss Joe."

Ah Hao replied seemingly calmly.

In fact, he panicked a lot. The reason for using vodka is very simple-poor.

Moreover, he is still a wild man, and he has no way to buy formal materials.

Perfume is simply a combination of fragrance raw materials and solvents.The most commonly used solvent is alcohol, and the concentration of alcohol is generally fine-tuned according to the type of perfume.

Like Zunana perfume, the solvents they use are all specially customized fragrance grade alcohol.

Ah Hao couldn't get this stuff, nor could he afford it.

—so he used vodka, the strongest kind.

Boss Qiao didn't delve into it, he just looked at Ahao anxiously, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your perfume? Mary won't get drunk so easily, she is a woman who can drink very well."

"Theoretically, it's drinkable."

"Ha ha."

Seeing this, Wende hurriedly came up to smooth things over, "Don't be angry, Joe, hasn't Ah Hao drunk this before? He can only guarantee that the ingredients must be safe, right Ah Hao?"

"Well, yes, safe."

Ah Hao even said triple affirmation, but he kept thinking about what raw materials he used.

Purchased coconut-flavored essential oil - probably safe;
Figs that camouflage the aroma of coconut milk - safe;
Lime and Orange provide a refreshing feeling - safe;
The island ylang ylang flower that creates a sense of sunshine—well, flowers should be edible, right?

Watermelon ketones that create an oceanic hydration—ah, this thing, isn’t it fun to eat? !
Figs, lemons, oranges, and ylang ylang-ylang are all natural flavors, which are extracted by Ahao himself with the equipment in the store.

But watermelon ketones are not!It is the "material" that Ah Hao bought from the black market at a high price.

He only knows that this raw material has a very fresh melon and fruit fragrance and a moisturizing feeling after dilution.

And he had never smelled it in any other perfume before.

He has no idea how this raw material is made and whether it can be eaten.

"Ahao, Wende. If that's the case, let's drink this bottle of perfume together!"

As soon as he came back to his senses, he heard Qiao Boss say something outrageous.

He quickly spilled the cocktail on the table on the ground.

He brought three empty glasses over and poured the remaining perfume in the bottle one by one.

The whole room smelled so fragrant that Ah Hao felt a little smelly.

Ah Hao tried hard to control his breathing.

Ah Hao really wanted to shout loudly, do you know that there is something called a nozzle on the perfume?
That is designed so that you only use a little bit each time!
Who pours perfume into a glass!

The silvery white liquid swirled out of the cup, and the mica powder swam like a cloud.

Ah Hao's scalp was a little numb, and he forgot that there was stone powder in it!

And besides that, the biggest problem is still the solvent—the wine! !

Mature commercial perfumes on the market, the alcohol concentration is absolutely undrinkable!
As for Ah Hao's perfume, although he used vodka, he also chose the strongest kind in order to let the fragrance evaporate well.

After all, when Ah Hao made the perfume, he never expected that someone would drink it.

Ah Hao has never drank such a strong wine.He usually drank ale and beer.

"come on!"

Boss Qiao handed them two glasses of perfume, with an unknown light shining in his eyes.

Wende took it with a look of embarrassment on his face, and then frantically winked at Ahao, as if asking him if he wanted a drink.

Ah Hao nodded to him almost stiffly.

He decided to drink it.

There are too many reasons, but the most critical point is that it all poured out.

"Cheers!"

That idiot named Joe looked as if he was going to die for his lover.

"Cheers?" "Cheers."

Amidst the crisp collision sound, Ah Hao looked at the wine glass in his hand.

The good news is, it's not that full.

Before drinking, Ah Hao still couldn't help crying in his heart:
After all, why do you want to drink my perfume! ! !

"Done it!" "Respect this city of Flying Stars raised by a dog!"

Lift your neck, open your mouth, pour in, swallow.

The agile movement made him faint.

Amid the dizziness, Ah Hao lost consciousness.

Ah Hao tried hard to open his eyes, and quickly closed them again.

Why is the sun so dazzling?And he felt that he was lying on a very soft place.

Then two groups of shadows covered them.

Under the protection of the shadow, he opened his eyes, but only saw two faces very close to him.

"Are you awake?!" Two loud voices came at the same time.

Ahao was so frightened that he put his hands on the ground and climbed back a few steps with his hands and feet together.

After a closer look, it was Wende and Joe, both without clothes.

——but wearing trousers, colorful beach shorts.

And the surrounding environment has also become a summer island.

It was more beautiful and gentle than the Blue Flame Bay he had been to.

Because there are blue seas and soft sandy beaches.

"Where is this place?"

"Hahaha" "Did you see it just now?" "Of course I saw it, I laughed so hard, hehehehahaha."

No one answered Ah Hao's question, only endless laughter came.

"It doesn't matter, does it?"

A unique sexy voice came from the side.

Ah Hao followed the sound and saw that it was Mary, half leaning on a reclining chair that looked super comfortable, talking to him.

She was wearing a white three-point swimsuit, the fluffy fabric matched her tanned skin very well.

Seeing his steadfast eyes, Mary straightened her tall chest.

"What matters is that we're all in this together."

Ah Hao got up from the beach and was about to say something.

Then I suddenly felt that my eyes were dark, and there were stars in my eyes.

He fell to the ground again.

The dizziness and drowsiness set in, unstoppable, overwhelming.

Under the warm sunshine, the gentle sea breeze hits the treetops, and the surging waves break on the beach.

It all sounded like a beautiful concerto, lulling him to sleep.

A sweet dream.

Ahao was woken up by Wende's shaking.

He looked at Wende's excited face and the messy bars all around him in confusion.

"Ok?"

Wende smiled, showing his big shiny teeth: "I said, you kid is awesome."

"What do you mean?" Ahao's head hurts, as if he was drunk yesterday.

Is it so exciting to chat about business?
"Ha, forgot? You can't hold alcohol, kid. We drank your perfume yesterday, just the [Pinazza Coconut], remember?"

drink perfume?As soon as these three keywords came out, Ah Hao seemed to recall some episodes.

The swirl of perfume poured into a wine glass, the light seen through the bottom of a drained glass.

Also, a beautiful beach like a dream.

beach?

"Yesterday, we went to the beach?"

Wende became excited when he heard it, "Yes, after drinking your perfume, I was dizzy at first, and then it was like a dream, and I came to a beach, like the golden coast of La Minica.

"A sunny beach that I enjoy exclusively. It's so beautiful. I swam happily in the sea for a long time, and it feels very real. Didn't you have this dream?"

"I did, I also played in it for a long time, and I had a lot of fun."

For some reason, Ah Hao didn't want to say that he fainted as soon as he entered.It always feels embarrassing to say it.

He hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, where is Boss Joe and that Mary? Why didn't I see them?"

"Oh, they woke up early and left. But...they took your perfume with them."

As he spoke, Wende took out four small bundles of Canadian coins from his pocket.

A bundle of $20 denomination bills represents $1000.

Unlike the popular use of 100 Canadian dollars in the upper city, 20 Canadian dollars is a common denomination of circulation in the lower city.

"The price is higher than what we negotiated before! 1000 Canadian dollars for a bottle of perfume! [-]% off!

"This includes the money for the two bottles of perfume you brought, and the subsequent deposit. Here, here you go. You need to get rich, my little Ahao!"

"So many!"

Ah Hao took the money in surprise and joy. 4 bundles of Canadian coins, fully twice his salary!
A bottle of perfume at 1000 Canadian dollars is also the price of the most expensive ace perfume in Zunana's store!

It’s just that he has to share fifty-fifty with Boss Joe, that is, he can earn 500 Canadian dollars as a supplier for every bottle sold.

It is already a high share.

Like Ahao's store manager, go to Zu Nana's headquarters to buy goods.It is only purchased at [-]% of the selling price, and then placed in the store for sale.Zu Nana operates in a self-financed manner.

"I gave you this price not because your perfume is awesome. Boss Qiao must have also arrived at the beach. After he woke up, he didn't say anything, so he just gave you this price. Then he asked me to urge you to come out quickly." goods."

"500 a bottle, a total of 4000 Canadian dollars, I have already given 2 bottles, so I still owe him 6 bottles now?"

"At least half a dozen of 6 bottles, he can eat a dozen of 12 bottles, and then he will pay you another 3000 Canadian dollars."

"Sigh~"

Ah Hao's eyes were almost filled with shiny money.

Ahao's salary is only 2000 Canadian dollars a month, which is considered very low in the upper city.

Only the occasional tip from generous customers is enough for him to spend, or save a little money to make perfume.A lot of the money for the raw materials before has not been paid to Old Wende,

He took out a bundle of money and gave it to Wende.

"This is the money for the raw materials on credit. I will pay you back." After thinking for a while, he took out another bundle of money. "This is also the money for raw materials. You have to help me buy some more raw materials."

"Okay, no problem!"

Wende took it beamingly.This small amount of money doesn't matter to him, what makes him happy for Ah Hao is another matter.

"Let's get back to business, how did you do that?"

Ah Hao glanced at him suspiciously, wasn't what he said before was serious business.

"The coast? Actually, I don't know. I could fool Mr. Joe into saying it's a secret or something, but I don't want to lie to you, Wende. I don't know."

Ah Hao still hasn't figured out why his perfume has such a magical effect.

"Hehe, but I have a guess." Wende looked at Ahao pretending to be profound, with an incomprehensible aura exuding from his body.

"What is it?"

Wende didn't answer directly, instead he sat on the sofa and lit his pipe.Smoke billows in the messy bar.

"Hurry up, I haven't delivered the goods to the customers yet. By the way, what time is it?" Ahao was a little anxious, he didn't know how long he had slept.

"11:30 am."

"It's over!"

He actually fell asleep until the next day!
"I have to go, I have to get back to the store!" Super late for work!And he hasn't given Mrs. Fu perfume yet.Mrs. Fu's 5 bottles of perfume are still in the shop!
Wen De grabbed Ahao's hand with his hairy arm. "Wait a moment.

"Relax and listen to me, maybe you don't have to go to work anymore." Wen De stared directly at A Hao with piercing eyes.

A strong force came, Ahao gave up resisting, and sat on the sofa.

"I hope what I hear next isn't something like you coming to raise me."

"Haha!" Wende patted his thigh, put the burning pipe aside, and asked a question that Ahao had never thought of.

"Do you know the Arcane Stargate?"

"Agadi's greatest technological invention allows airships to teleport across space. Doesn't everyone know this?"

"Well, who built it? What technology was used?"

"Um, this, a certain great mechanical engineer? He analyzed an ancient secret? What kind of technology did he get?"

Ah Hao vaguely remembered seeing a similar introduction, but couldn't remember clearly.

"Hehe, those are just lies.

"Since it is called the Arcane Stargate, of course it was built by the Arcane Masters!" Wen De's loud voice was like thunder: "And you should have the potential to become an Arcane Master!"

"Arcanist?"

"Arcanist!"

"never heard of that."

"."

Wen De covered his face with his hands, Ahao felt that the smell on his body was quite painful.
