Chapter 71
"This is the perfume of our British Empire. It uses synthetic fragrances, which are more natural and more fragrant than natural essences. Smell it, is it more pleasant than the fragrance of your toilet water?" Miss Yang who left before , holding a crystal clear glass bottle in his hand, as he pressed the button on the bottle with his fingers, clouds of water mist sprayed out from it, and a unique fragrance filled the shop immediately.

The reason why she is called 'unique' is because this fragrance is very strange to everyone, and no one has smelled this kind of smell before. The ladies and wives present are all from the rich and powerful families in the capital, but they are not familiar with this smell. But they can't explain clearly, but they know one thing very well, that is, this fragrance smells very fresh and refreshing.

The woman who bought the toilet water before couldn't help spraying the toilet water on her body. Unlike the freshness of the perfume in Miss Yang's hand, the scent of the toilet water is stronger and has a more obvious floral fragrance. Even better, it's really hard to decide, I can only say that Chunlan and Qiuju have their own love.

"How much is your perfume?" Someone asked Miss Yang.

"Fifteen pounds is equivalent to 100 taels of silver for you."

"What? 100 taels?"

Hearing Ms. Yang's words, the people present started to discuss, although toilet water and perfume can't tell which is better, but perfume is only 100 taels of silver, while toilet water needs 1000 taels, which is ten times higher, and the difference is almost the same. Is it too big?

"Shopkeeper Liu, did you say something?"

"Yes, why do foreigners only need 100 taels of silver for their perfume, but the toilet water you sell at Tianxianglou costs 1000 taels of silver?"

People questioned one after another, and several foreigners kept nodding their heads.

"Ladies and ladies, don't worry, listen to me." Although it is winter, shopkeeper Liu is sweating on his forehead, and while waving his hands at the people in the room, he said loudly, "The old saying goes Well, you get what you pay for, and our toilet water sells for 1000 taels, so there is a reason for selling 1000 taels."

"What's the point?"

"Miss Yang, besides adding fragrance, what other uses do your perfumes from the British Empire have?" Shopkeeper Liu asked the foreigner.

"What is the use of perfume? It is to increase the fragrance, freshen the air, and cover up other smells on the body." Miss Yang replied naturally.

"That's right, the perfume of your British Empire only has fragrance, and the toilet water of our Tianxianglou can refresh your mind and prevent mosquito bites in addition to fragrance. In addition, ladies and ladies, when bathing at home , you can drop toilet water into the water, not only will your body be full of fragrance, but also achieve the effects of cleaning, degerming and relieving itching.”

"Shopkeeper Liu, aren't you bragging any more?"

"Bragging? Even if I, shopkeeper Liu, can brag, Niang Niang and Gege can still brag? Who in the palace doesn't have a bottle of toilet water? To tell the truth to all the ladies and wives, we can also get things like perfume in Tianxianglou, Miss Biyang The ones in your hands are even better, but those vulgar things are similar to sachets, and we at Tianxianglou don't bother to sell them. Because the purpose of our Tianxianglou is to sell the best ones. I think ladies and wives should also be Ben. Come with the best baby, huh?"

Hearing shopkeeper Liu's words, there was another discussion below.

"Well, shopkeeper Liu is right, if it's not the best thing, we wouldn't come here."

"exactly."

clap clap clap...

The foreigner wearing a top hat knocked on the counter with a cane in his hand, and then said loudly to the people in the shop, "No, no, the best perfume is in our British Empire, why is it here?"

"My lord, what we sell is toilet water with more powerful functions, not your monotonous perfume." Shopkeeper Liu reminded.

"But you just said that Tianxianglou has better perfume than our British Empire, I don't believe it"

"This..." Shopkeeper Liu froze. Just now, he was just using this to promote his own baby. He didn't expect foreigners to hold on to it.

"How about we have a competition?" The foreigner suddenly said, "Use your perfume from Tianxianglou to compare with the perfume from our British Empire. Pour your perfume into bowls, these bowls have no marks, no one knows, only the bottom of the bowl has a mark, let these ten people choose the flavor they like, and whoever chooses the most perfume will win."

"What if there is a tie?"

"Then continue to compete until there is a winner."

Manager Liu fell into deep thought when he heard it, holding his mustache in his hands and kept trying to figure it out. If he wins the competition, he will naturally stop the foreigners' mouths and make Tianxianglou's reputation even louder. What should I do? Will the business of Tianxiang Building not plummet in the future?
"Liu is in charge, compare with foreigners, let them know how powerful our Qing Dynasty is."

"Yes, if you win, you can be regarded as fighting for the face of the Qing Dynasty."

Shopkeeper Liu couldn't make up his mind for a moment, after all, Tianxiang Tower was not up to him.

"Bijibi, what are you afraid of?" At this moment, a voice came from the stairs.Manager Liu saw that it was the shopkeeper, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Defu accompanied his father to listen for a long time, and his heart was already full of anger. This foreigner was too arrogant. He even went to his shop to destroy the place. There were dozens of people watching. These were bought in Tianxianglou. Dear customer, if you don't agree, how can Tianxianglou continue to operate in the capital?Therefore, not only to compare, but also to win.

"Shopkeeper Li Da is very bold. Compared with foreigners, I'm afraid he's a bird."

"Yes, let them know that our Qing Dynasty is truly a kingdom of heaven."

Those who knew Li Defu immediately followed suit and applauded Li Defu's courage.

Li Lianying shook her head secretly, this son is too impatient, how dare he accept the competition from the foreigner?Are foreigners easy to mess with?Even the Queen Mother Lafayette has to be courteous.If you win, what if you offend Mr. Yang?If you lose, won't this business be impossible?This is a contest that won't please anyone, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if he agreed?

Li Defu was full of complacency, and his vanity was greatly satisfied at this time. He stepped down the steps, looked at the people in the shop and said loudly, "Since foreigners want to compare with our Tianxianglou, then our Tianxianglou will be compared with us." Compared to foreigners, I, Li Defu, will let them know today that our Tianxiang Tower, our Qing Dynasty, is not as simple as they think."

"Don't be too happy, if you lose, not only must you admit that the perfume of our British Empire is the best, but also the things in Xianglou should belong to us. If you win, then we will buy them all at the price. How about it, do you dare to promise?"

"Dare, why don't you dare?" Li Defu said loudly with the strength of alcohol, and at the same time, he also wanted to let his father see his ability to handle things. He was so straightforward and courageous.

When Li Lianying heard this, she almost fainted. The treasures in Tianxiang Building are worth at least one million taels of silver. If he loses, what will he give to God?Bankruptcy.

"it is good!"

wow wow wow...

Seeing people clapping and applauding around, Li Defu clasped his fists and bowed to the men, women and children present, then looked at the foreigners and said confidently, "Let's compare."

"No, no, no." William shook his head and said, "We need to find five people to be judges, besides, what you saw just now is not the best perfume in our British Empire. We will continue to compare here at this time tomorrow. Don't forget, you also need to find five people to be judges."

"Tomorrow at this time, I, Li Defu, will be here waiting for you, so don't miss Mr. William."

"Bye-Bye."

The foreigners left, and in Tianxiang Tower, whether they were watching the fun or spending money, they all praised shopkeeper Li Da for his arrogance. Only shopkeeper Li Da dared to call foreigners in the capital.

Li Defu was very proud. In the past, it was a bad thing to be famous, but this time he finally showed his face, and he still showed his face.When he turned around and was about to ask his father for credit, he saw his father standing on the stairs with a serious face. After giving him a hard look, he shook his head and went upstairs.Li Defu was startled, and hurriedly followed.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Li Defu asked cautiously after going upstairs.

"Son, your courage is getting bigger and bigger. How dare you compete with foreigners? Do you know that those foreigners don't even dare to offend the Queen Mother Lafayette. If you offend them, the foreigners with foreign guns Cannons are no joke."

"Yes, can you?" Li Defu shrank his neck, thinking of the power of foreign guns and cannons, he also began to worry, and asked stammeringly, "Can foreigners afford to lose?"

"Can't afford to lose? Let alone lose, even if nothing happens, they can find something. Forget about the British and French allied forces entering the capital a few years ago? Emperor Xianfeng escaped to Rehe and ascended to heaven. If it's because of you , foreigners find another excuse to break into the capital, and you still want the queen mother and the current emperor to flee to Rehe?"

Li Defu's knees softened, and with a "plop", he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Father, the child is ignorant, you must save the child." Li Defu kept Li Lianying's calf and asked, "How about Shall we admit defeat?"

Li Lianying couldn't help but smile wryly after hearing that, if he can admit defeat, he won't worry.God's thing, do you lose if you say you lose?That's millions of taels of silver. I'm afraid that God will know when the time comes, and in a fit of rage, they will blow the two of them to the ground, and take them away before the Queen Mother and Lafayette can clean them up.

"Father, father? What do you think should be done? The child is all up to you." Li Defu's face was pale from fright, and the alcohol was gone.

Li Lianying thought for a while, she couldn't hide this matter from the Queen Mother, but she couldn't hide it from God, it seemed that she could only ask God for help.

"Stay here honestly, don't act rashly. I'll go back to the palace to find a way, and come to you tomorrow morning. Remember, if foreigners come again, they must treat each other with courtesy, understand?"

"Yes Yes."

Li Lianying stood up, went downstairs, and hurried towards the palace gate.
