Chapter 27

Xiao Tingchen came under the peach blossom tree and rubbed the little girl's head, "What are you doing standing here?"

Su Jiu took half a step back and protested, "Don't touch my head all the time, I won't grow taller."

Xiao Tingchen looked at Xiang Manlou, "They don't want your incense?"

Su Jiu nodded.

"Jinling is so big, but his incense shop is not the only one." Xiao Tingchen rolled up his wide sleeves, smiled and looked at Xiangmanlou next door, "here, isn't there another one here?"

A secluded and elegant small wooden building, hidden behind a few thick peach trees.

The front door of the shop is deserted, and the light inside is dim. I don't know what it is like.

Su Jiu raised his head and saw a signboard hanging under the eaves, with the inscription "Banfenghe" in three big characters with peeling gold paint.

The little brother once said that the handwriting is like a person. The inscription on this plaque is elegant and elegant. The shop owner is probably an elegant person.

"Walk."

Xiao Tingchen led her into the threshold.

The store furnishings are simple and elegant, with various incense pills and fragrances on the sandalwood shelves.

An old man with white beard and hair, holding a purple sand pot painted with golden orchids, is lying comfortably on a rocking chair and humming an ancient tune.

Su Jiu stepped forward, "Old man, I have some fragrant pills here, can you please taste them?"

The old man closed his eyes as if he didn't hear.

Xiao Tingchen stepped forward and grabbed a snow-white beard from his chin.

"hiss--!"

The old man sat up in pain, clutched his chin and was about to curse, when he met Xiao Tingchen's smiling handsome face, he lost his temper instantly.

He coughed and was about to apologize when Xiao Tingchen raised an index finger to his lips.

The old man immediately looked away from him and looked at Su Jiu, "What did you just say? Tasting Xiangwan?"

Su Jiu respectfully handed the small pouch to the old man, "Exactly."

The old man opened it, and the fragrance and elegance of orchids rushed to his face.

He took out a grain with a silver leaf clip, took an incense burner, buried charcoal in the incense ashes, and put a small silver plate on top of the charcoal, then crushed the incense pill and put it on.

Before long, the elegant fragrance of orchids diffused from the small silver saucer, gradually replacing the original woody fragrance in the house.

Su Jiu looked forward to it, "What does the old man think?"

"The extraction of the fragrance of flowers is almost perfect. There is no such kind of fragrance pills on the market." He stroked his beard, his old eyes were full of light, "Girl doll, you made this?"

Su Jiu nodded.

The old man weighed the porcelain pot, "There are ten fragrant pills in it, why don't you sell it to Banfenghe?"

"What price do you offer?"

The old man originally planned to pay eight taels of silver according to the market price, so he made an "eight" gesture, "eight——"

Xiao Tingchen leaned on the counter and stretched out a finger towards the old man.

So the old man abruptly withdrew his thumb halfway, and only held up his index finger, proudly:
"Visitors from all over the world, rich sources of money from all directions, I will give you a tael of silver!"

Su Jiu was stunned.

The old man was embarrassed, "Do you think there are too few female dolls?"

Su Jiu came back to his senses, "Not really. If the old man is willing, I can continue to provide Xiaolanchun to Banfenghe for the next period of time. However, since you said that there is no such spice in the market, it can be seen that Xiaolanchun is unique in the market. That being the case, I think other incense shops will be interested in this kind of incense..."

"Girl Doll still thinks that one tael of silver is too little."

"Ten Xiaolanchun, you give me five taels of silver, and I promise not to sell this kind of incense pills to other incense shops, how about it?"

Su Jiu smiled innocently, but increased the price by five times.

The old man was a little embarrassed, "This..."

In fact, even if you buy it with five taels of silver, Ban Fenghe can still make some money.

He glanced at the boss's face and saw that he was playing with the pipe with his head down, so he nodded sharply, "Deal!"

Su Jiu raised his eyebrows.

The old man promised so readily, it seems that her price has been lowered...

However, the cost of ten fragrant pills is only half a tael of silver, and if sold for five taels, the profit has been multiplied several times.

As long as she makes more incense pills, not only can she redeem herself quickly, but she can also quickly save enough money to go north.

She was in a great mood, and left Banfenghe after drawing up a paper deed with the old gentleman.

The spring breeze blows, and the peach blossom trees in front of Banfenghemen are colorful and pink.

Su Jiu grabbed the small purse tightly.

There are five taels of silver in the small purse, which feels bulging to the touch, which makes people feel very safe.

Ever since she was a child, this was the first time she had touched so much silver.

Xiao Tingchen stood behind her with his hands folded in his sleeves, seeing the little girl giggling while standing in the spring breeze, she didn't even notice that the peach blossoms were all over her shoulders.

He leaned over to her ear, "My sister's way of earning money has made me more knowledgeable...From now on, my sister will support my brother, okay?"

After all,

mischievous,

He blew into Su Jiu's ear.

Su Jiu's spine immediately felt a tingling sensation, he suddenly covered his ears and jumped to the side, staring at Xiao Tingchen unblinkingly with his dark deer eyes.

The young man was wearing a sky-blue straight gown, standing with his hands behind his back in the light and shadow of peach blossoms, his peach blossom eyes slightly curved when he smiled, the cinnabar tear mole was bright red, and the dimple on his right cheek was deep and sweet.

It's amazing.

A blush gradually crept up on her cheeks, and with a sullen face, she took out half a tael of silver from her purse and handed it to him.

Xiao Tingchen raised his eyebrows.

Su Jiu lowered his head, his little face was redder than a peach blossom.

She stared at her clogs, and stammered, "Silver, here, for you...Of course, it's not because I want to support you...but because, when mixing the fragrance, the ingredients used are my little brother's." , that's why I want to give you money..."

Xiao Tingchen looked at her.

The little girl lowered her eyelids, and she could faintly see the water in the gap between her eyelashes.

Her hand was always stretched out towards herself.

On the flattened palm lay a broken silver key.

A peach blossom is blown down by the wind,
It fell gently into her palm.
