It was almost noon when Xu Shichu woke up completely, and the servant came to report back again. Only then did Xu Shichu remember it, and he was surprised: "They are still waiting?"
The servant nodded and replied: "Even Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu don't look very good."
Xu Shichu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "It's strange that they look good after waiting for so long. But I underestimate their desire to gain power and wealth... Go ahead and ask them to leave, I won't see them anymore."
"This...yes, I will let them leave now." Although the servant woman was surprised for a while by Xu Shichu's tough attitude, she quickly followed the instructions.
"Madam, wouldn't it be bad for you to do this? After all, they are still members of your natal family. What if they say outside that you look down on your natal family once you are proud..." Zhichun said with some worry.
Xu Shichu said casually: "So what? As long as I am still the Prime Minister's wife, no matter how much dissatisfaction they have, they will have to swallow it for me, unless they are crazy and want to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion. Besides, I don't care about reputation now, they What does it matter if you say it or not?"
"I was worrying too much." Zhichun felt relieved as she remembered that her master's behavior these days was not a character that would be threatened by others.
Xu Shichu didn't know how frustrated and angry the Xu family's ancestors and grandson were when they were about to be driven away after waiting for a long time without even seeing Xu Shichu. Of course, she didn't care.
A month later, Xu Shichu's spice shop was finally renovated. She was recuperating her body while quietly mixing fragrances these days. She brought shopkeeper Sun of the spice shop with her to mix fragrances, and taught him many new spice recipes. Son, he was so excited that he burst into tears of gratitude to Xu Shichu, and even more devotedly put all his thoughts into the spice shop, vowing to repay Xu Shichu well.
On the day of reopening, shopkeeper Sun asked two young men to place an exquisite and gorgeous azure incense burner half a person's height on the left side of the door, and then placed a three-finger thick and thirty-inch long incense burner on the left side of the door. Put the incense stick into the incense burner and light it, and the fragrance will spread out.
"Shopkeeper, what kind of fragrance is this? The aroma is so special. The more I smell it, the more I want to smell it..." A young shopkeeper smelled the fragrance and asked Shopkeeper Sun intoxicatedly.
Shopkeeper Sun said proudly: "The master said that this incense is called 'Blockbuster'. She specially made it on the day of reopening, just to make our spice shop a blockbuster! Just wait, this incense today will definitely be a blockbuster." Let our shop become the most amazing and lively place!"
"A blockbuster? This name is instant!" Another boy said in amazement. The smell of this incense is not like any other he has come into contact with. He has never smelled such a fragrance. It is not single, but complex. And diverse...
First, there is a slightly pungent dry woody aroma, which is light, followed by an earthy aroma like borneol, and a scent like cypress and vetiver. The aroma spreads continuously and long.
This top note first jolts people's spirits and attracts attention, but then slowly turns into a special sweet aroma, vaguely scented with white orchids, green notes, and a hint of bitter orange blossom and a faint hint of orange blossom. Grassy undertone...
Various refreshing fragrances are like naughty spring breeze, blowing over the face of everyone who passes by the spice shop. The erratic and alluring fragrance is like the unpredictable and affectionate eyes of the dream girl, which is heart-breaking and heart-breaking. I can't wait to pounce on him immediately and take it for myself...
Such a complex and changeable fragrance is not the biggest feature of this "blockbuster". Its most amazing advantage is its long-lasting and wide-spreading power.
If ordinary incense sticks are lit outdoors, they can travel up to two feet. If there is wind, it can float further, but the fragrance is diffuse but not strong.
But this "blockbuster" unexpectedly has amazing spread power. It can be smelled not only in the street where the spice shop is located, but also in places miles away.
On the most prosperous and bustling main street of Chang'an Street, a young lady who went out to visit a jewelry shop shrugged her nose and asked her friends: "Do you smell any fragrance? It's like jasmine... No, no, it's like magnolia, now. It’s not Magnolia anymore…”
She sounded like gibberish, but fortunately her friend actually understood. He nodded repeatedly and raised his chin as if he was smelling some fragrance: "Yes! It smells so sweet... very fresh and pleasant... …”
"What kind of fragrance is this?" Miss Qianjin was extremely curious and looked around to find out the source of this heart-burning fragrance.
On the other side, the child, who was being held by his mother, narrowed his eyes and said, "Mom, it's fragrant... sweet... I want sweet osmanthus cake!"
His mother looked around at the stalls and didn't find any pastry stalls, so she scolded: "Where is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake? If you're greedy, just say so!"
"It's the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus cake!" The child didn't know the smell of spices. He only remembered the sweet scent of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his memory.
The young and frivolous boy smelled a fresh and refreshing fragrance, like the smell of ocean wind, with the breath of fresh air, flying and elegant.
This morning, many people smelled the refreshing fragrance. It was melodious and fresh, not strong, but it aroused people's thoughts.
So, following the aroma, what I saw was Xu Shichu's reopened spice shop - Zuixiang Pavilion, and the "Blockbuster" standing in front of the door.
"So it's the fragrance that comes from this incense? It's such a big one, no wonder it can spread so far..."
"Zuixiang Pavilion? Does it sell spices? Hey, go in and take a look!"
"What kind of fragrance is this? I've never smelled it before. I like it very much. I might as well buy some and take it back."
…
More and more customers are attracted by the "blockbuster" like this. So what if the store is in a remote location? The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, nor is the aroma of spices!
Shopkeeper Sun looked at the endless stream of customers and smiled from ear to ear.
So on this day, Xu Shichu's Zuixiang Pavilion really became a "blockbuster" in the capital. Many people knew that there was such a novel and distinctive spice shop, which opened with a giant and eye-catching incense stick on the opening day. situation.
Many of the fragrances in Zuixiang Pavilion are recipes developed by Xu Shichu in the previous world, so they are unique in this world, with many categories and novel scents. It is no wonder that this business is booming. Zuixiang Pavilion is very He quickly made a name for himself in the capital.
Xu Shichu was not surprised at all. There were countless arty people in the capital, and there were even more wealthy people. As long as she created the unique and luxurious reputation of Zuixiang Pavilion, she would be able to attract a lot of people to pay her money willingly.
