Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 659 A Good Thing
Those pairs of eyes were like those of hungry wolves that wanted to eat Zhou Ming alive.

"Aunts, who are you?" Zhou Ming asked cautiously.

The beautiful woman in the middle stood up immediately: "Hey Zhou Ming, come and sit here with Auntie."

"Oh Zhou Ming, let's come to Aunt Zhang. Wanrong was still talking about you before!"

"Brother Zhou, long time no see." Zhang Wanrong blinked and took off the veil on her face.

Zhou Ming was pulled into a group of women in a daze, still holding a gift box in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingyan was very satisfied. This matchmaking was somewhat effective.

"Zhou Ming, you are not a good boy. You have such a good thing as Tianxiang Divine Water and you don't even tell your aunt!"

"Forgot that you used to clamor for Wanrong to be your wife?" Mrs. Zhang pretended to be displeased.

Zhou Ming was ashamed. That happened when he was five or six years old. How could he mention it now?

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Song Qingyan's gaze, thinking about what she had told him in the morning.

Zhou Ming hurriedly said: "A few aunts were joking. If you have something good, I, Zhou Ming, will definitely honor you. However, it is difficult to make the fragrant divine water and the cost is too high. I am in partnership with others."

"Nuo, aunts, this is a gift I prepared for you. It's not a valuable item. See if you like it."

Zhou Ming opened the gift box as he said it. There were ten exquisite wooden boxes inside. They were none other than the soaps sent by Zhao Kang before.

Several rich ladies and wealthy ladies didn't take it seriously. They had no chance to see anything interesting about their high status.

At this moment, they all just wanted Song Qingyan's bottle of perfume, but after Zhou Ming opened the gift box, they were all shocked and their faces were full of joy.

"Fragrant Skin Jade!"

Zhou Ming nodded and said: "Yes, it is fragrant skin jade. I prepared two pieces for each of the aunts."

"This thing is rare. Where did you get it?" Mrs. Li was very happy to see her.

She was one of the first people to use this soap in Shengjing City.

At that time, I thought it was a good product. Not only could it cleanse the skin, but it also had a scent that I really liked.

However, with the war, the fragrant skin jade was out of stock, and Qi merchants did not dare to go to Qian State to buy goods this year.

Therefore, only the empresses in the palace can use them now, and there are not many of them.

So much so that she wanted to find someone to secretly go to Qian Country and bring some money back.

If it were ordinary gold and silver jewelry, rich ladies like them might not really like it, but this fragrant skin jade is undoubtedly a good gift.

Before Zhou Ming could divide the money, five wealthy ladies each picked two pieces and brought them to him.

Her daughter could only look at Zhou Ming helplessly.

Zhou Ming said the words he had prepared: "It's these aunts. Soon my nephew and his partners will be selling some things at the auction house. Among them is fragrant skin jade and heavenly fragrance water. There won't be many fragrant skin jade this time. If the aunts want it, they have to start as soon as possible."

Mrs. Zhang was surprised: "Okay, Xiao Ming, I didn't expect you to be able to get fragrant skin jade to sell. How come you are preparing to take over the family business?"

Zhou Ming exclaimed, feeling a little carried away: "I just want to run a small business on my own, and the aunts should support me more."

Hearing these words, Song Qingyan shook her head secretly. This child is still too naive and needs to be taught a lesson.

Is it the same between running your own business and taking over the Zhou family's business?
If it's the latter, maybe the old woman named Zhang will consider whether to marry her daughter to you when she returns home.

Mrs. Liu looked at the fragrant skin jade, and finally her eyes fell on the bottle of perfume in Song Qingyan's hand.

What she is more interested in at the moment is this: "Xiao Ming, you said there is still this fragrant water for sale, right?" Zhou Ming nodded and said: "Yes, Auntie, this is a good thing, and the quantity is more than the fragrant skin jade." rare."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "We all know that this thing is precious. Let's agree first, Xiao Ming, you have to keep the goods for us. Money is not an issue."

Zhou Mingxiao: "Definitely!"

Song Qingyan and Zhou Ming's side have started operations, and Zhao Kang's side is also going very smoothly.

The treasure appraiser of the auction house looked at the bottle of perfume in his hand. He had been auctioning it for decades, and he had never seen anything like this before.

After sniffing the smell and using it, he looked at Zhao Kang in amazement: "Sir, how much of this heavenly fragrance water are you talking about?"

"About five hundred bottles." Zhao Kang smiled.

The treasure appraiser pondered for a while: "I'm afraid it's not enough."

Cao Bailu asked: "What do you mean?"

The treasure appraiser hurriedly said: "This is a good thing. It is fragrant and can make the human body smell fragrant if you apply it a little! It is a treasure for women!"

"Not only that, but the eunuchs in the palace would also go to great lengths to buy a bottle if they knew about it."

Zhao Kang nodded. The other party was telling the truth. Because of the castration, the eunuch had a strange smell all year round.

Perfume can indeed help them cover up their odor.

The treasure appraiser said: "So, I'm afraid this perfume will be snapped up like crazy by then. How can five hundred bottles be enough to sell it? The value of this item is higher than fragrant skin jade. I wonder how much the young master is prepared to price it?"

Zhao Kang smiled when he heard this and stretched out two fingers: "200 taels a bottle."

The treasure appraiser's heart skipped a beat, but he was not frightened. He could tell the audience of the perfume, so he naturally knew the value of this thing.

For those rich ladies in Shengjing City, 200 taels is not even a hair on their legs.

But damn, this is the starting price!And there are only [-] bottles. The perfume in this bottle will last for two months.

God knows what the price will be like by then.

This is big business!
Zhao Kang said again at this time: "There are two bottles of wine here, each weighing one pound. They are also auction items. Take a look."

The treasure appraiser was a little surprised: "As for wine, I can't do it. Come and find Mr. Li."

After a while, an old man with rich clothes and rosacea came.

"Xiao Wang, what kind of wine do you want me to taste?" Mr. Li yawned.

The treasure appraiser hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, this young man wants to sell wine in our business, so I want you to take a look."

"These days, there are still people who come to the auction house to sell wine."

Mr. Li laughed and looked at Zhao Kang: "Boy, I have a very tricky mouth. If your wine is not good, don't blame me for speaking poorly later!"

"Old sir, just give it a try." Zhao Kang said calmly.

When the old man first arrived, Zhao Kang smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body. It was obvious that he had been drinking just now.

Drinking like this in broad daylight, he is obviously a drunkard.

Mr. Li sneered: "Young people are very confident. Open it and give me a try."

Zhao Kang opened the Taizi wine with a rich sauce without hesitation. Mr. Li took the glass and smelled it: "It's quite fragrant."

Then finish the wine in one gulp!
