Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume
Chapter 18 Successfully Gathered
Zhu Fu didn't try to trick people into thinking he was getting a bargain. Anyone selling things here knew the psychology of buyers. It was impossible for him to offer a favor. It would be more appropriate to express his interest directly.
The boss looked her over and asked, "What are you going to do with it?"
"Perfumer, this looks like the material. Buy it and try it. Boss, give me the actual price." Zhu Fu looked nonchalant.
The boss was unsure of what she meant, so he tentatively offered a price, "3900."
"900. The quality of this item is just average. I don't know how much of it can be used." Zhu Fu bargained without mercy.
"3500."
"950."
……
After some bargaining, Zhu Fu 999 successfully won the hidden dragon scale. Although it was a bit dirty, the amount of fragrance fixative used was not large, so it could be used at least ten times, which should be enough for the trial production stage.
Having achieved his goal, Zhu Fu was happily preparing to leave the auction house, but suddenly his vision darkened and he was blocked by the young man again.
The young man glanced at me and snorted coldly, "Just for this pile of mud? Otherwise, if you say something nice, maybe I can force you to give me the one you like."
Hmm? Zhu Fu's mind was full of question marks. This person didn't seem like someone who was just looking for trouble. How did they have any intersection? It was worth him running up to her to show off his face.
"It's just a piece of deodorant. Although it's a little dirty on the outside, it can still be used after being cleaned up. You don't have to worry about it." Unsure of the situation, Zhu Fu forced out a social smile and tried to respond.
"Fragrance fixative?" The young man looked suspiciously at the indistinguishable mud mass again, then looked away as if his eyes were stung. "Is this it?"
Zhu Fu lifted the bag in his hand and looked at the harvest quietly lying inside. "What's the problem? Although it looks a bit dirty, that's because it has lost water due to improper storage over the years, and the mud has seeped into the surface and covered it. In fact, if you look closely, you can see faint arc-shaped textures, which completely conforms to the characteristics of dried hidden dragon scales."
Who knows such a niche thing?
The young man felt his face begin to burn. He was crushed in the field he was so proud of! He couldn't help but say, "You said so, so it is?"
Zhu Fu's reaction was very calm. Although there was an element of coincidence here, if it weren't for the golden finger she wouldn't have been able to notice the texture on such a lump of stuff. But after the golden finger pointed it out, she was still able to match the features quickly. Her basic skills were not in vain. This was the only happy thing for her in this world full of flaws.
The new materials can bring her new inspiration. This is a new journey in her perfume-making career. How can she not take these things seriously?
"I can prove that after processing, the characteristics of the hidden dragon scales are clearly visible."
Zhu Fu was extremely stable while answering the questions and seemed very confident, as if she was answering the questions without any suspense.
"No need for that! You're showing off just because you know a little bit of the basics. I'd like to see how good you are at making incense!" the young man said angrily.
However, when Zhu Fu was about to retort, the young man turned around and left again. With words stuck on her lips, she became even more confused. He was already at the intermediate level, why was he still so unstable?
Come to think of it, she seemed to smell something very close to rum. Is this guy an Alpha?
Tsk~ A spoiled Alpha!
Zhu Fu walked out of the auction house with emotion. While waiting for the car, she suddenly felt someone was looking at her. When she looked up, she saw a familiar face.
"Wang Charlie——"
Wang Charlie abruptly withdrew his gaze, startled by Zhu Fu's greeting.
"What did you look at just now? You're not still thinking of taking revenge on me?" Zhu Fu's eyes were very clear, and when he looked at people seriously, he couldn't help but look a little cold.
Wang Charlie was trying hard on the surface, but he was still upset about the recent failure in his heart, and he couldn't help but mock her, "What about you? How do you have the money to buy materials at the auction? For your small shop, what high-end things do you want? Do your customers understand?"
Zhu Fu felt that the arrogance of Alpha was fully reflected in Wang Charlie. The young man just now seemed a lot cuter. After all, he had achievements, but he just didn't have a good mouth. However, Wang Charlie showed all the characteristics of Pu Xin.
"Doesn't the great incense master Wang have a keen eye for talent? He saw the value of the incense recipe very early on." Zhu Fu hit the sore spot directly.
"You——" Wang Charlie was short of breath, so he had to shake his hands and forcefully skip the topic. "What's the use of relying on strength to get out there? You still can't get ahead without a background. You are mocking me now, and you will end up like this in the future. Don't think that just because you have a relationship with the director, you are useful. Don't you know how you lost your incense exhibition?"
"How did you lose it?" Does this guy know anything?
"Since Zong Director Xiang Sheng has spoken personally, who would risk losing sales to support you? Do you think everyone would just stay at that shabby little shop like you?" Wang Charlie felt very relieved. Although he didn't get what he wanted, it was obvious that this beta girl wasn't much better off.
Zhu Fu secretly wrote down the name. Although Liszt told her the whole story, he always felt that this was something he should fight against. In addition, Mingshu was getting better now and had no intention of resigning, so he did not give her any explanation. She could not influence Liszt's thoughts, but she would still accept the information if it was fed to her.
Wang Charlie watched Zhu Fu begin to daydream in front of him, and then suddenly laughed... laughed!
"why are you laughing!"
"Thank you so much for your reminder. I didn't expect that although your mind is a little absurd, you are actually a good person. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have so much publicity on social media. Thank you so much~" Zhu Fu raised his hand, made a gesture of doing something else, and turned to leave.
Wang Charlie finally felt the choking frustration of Zhu Fu. "Huh?" This guy is too irritating. He must be very proud of passing the test, right? Let's see how long he can be so proud!
After cursing in his heart to vent his anger, Wang Charlie turned and entered the auction hall. Before he could do anything, he cursed inwardly, "What kind of luck is this today?"
"Master Cang, what brings you to the auction? Why don't you just ask them to send it there..."
----
Three days later, Zhu Fu, with tangled hair, held up a milky white bottle, her eager eyes almost penetrating the bottle in her hand.
"It's done! It's done——"
She felt delighted. This was not just a perfume; it also meant that she had solved a difficult problem and had a deeper understanding of the world's fragrance.
During the three days, she first carefully brushed the fixative clean, soaked it to remove water three times and then crushed it into powder for standby use. Then she processed the materials for configuration. This part was not difficult, and the configuration idea was not much different from that of cedar, but the materials were slightly more complicated.
The last step was to make perfume together. She failed five times in this step. Even with her perception, she could not overcome the gap between ideal materials and real materials. This also made her realize for the first time the use of those data measuring instruments. At least after updating the virtual perfume-making room, she could bring out the data for configuration.
But that's all in the future. Her small incense-making room can't hold so many things, and adding more equipment requires careful planning and reconstruction. Now, let her be happy for now!
"Teacher, my new model is out! I'm so happy. I'll go get it certified tomorrow!"
After sharing the good news with Mingshu as soon as possible, Zhu Fu ordered a set of neatly tailored trousers to reward herself, and then started to take care of herself with new toiletries.
"Today is a good day..."
Zhu Fu hummed a song and rubbed her hair happily. Although the song was a bit old, left-behind children had never heard anything new when they were young, so it was fine as long as it fit the occasion.
After cleaning up, Zhu Fu went downstairs to the store. Everything looked good to her, even the dust on the bottles. She only needed to wipe it off.
Two customers who were looking at perfumes on the shelf behind her put their heads together and whispered, "Do you think the boss is very elegant?"
"Yes, yes, yes... I can't explain it, but it's so special, even more special than a beautiful woman. It's a pity that she's a beta."
"Who said it wasn't? Otherwise I would have rushed over and asked for his contact information..."
Zhu Fu: "..." I can hear you. Are we two meters apart? It's nice to praise me, but does that mean you should discriminate against betas? Being a beta is not against the law.
She had no choice but to continue wiping the bottles as if nothing had happened, while listening to the guests behind her continue to discuss how she was so stylish in her white gloves and white suit.
After wiping the bottle in her hand, Zhu Fu ran out in a hurry to check the information of the equipment. Even though she had paid for the purchase, she couldn't be allowed to be taken advantage of!
There is a large public reading room in the next-door District E, which contains all publicly available information. Zhu Fu chose this nearest location without hesitation. Considering the distance, Zhu Fu took a shortcut through the block.
Then she realized there was a reason why this road was not a main road.
"Why are you hiding? Don't you have any place for me in your heart? So what? My brother is already married..."
"Ha~ Go away! I will never have anything to do with you again, um——"
Zhu Fu's eyes were empty, she smelled the faint but lingering scent of jasmine, and carefully moved away from the scene, turned around and returned the same way she came. She only looked back after she was sure that the two people would not think she was there to join or disturb them.
Ok……
It's a very typical size difference, with an Alpha trapping an Omega against a wall, and the Omega's pheromones are obviously wrong. The scene is very much like the ABO world.
But she was not an ordinary NPC, so she chose to call the Public Security Bureau, report her location, and eliminate this hidden danger. After all, who knew if there would be another Alpha passing by here? What if he was attracted by the Omega's out-of-control pheromones?
On the way back to the store, she was bombarded with messages again. A person with a classmate's contact number sent her a message out of nowhere, claiming that she should maintain good communication with her father.
Although she didn't know how Hou Ying found this classmate, in order to avoid further damage to her reputation and produce some negative consequences, she still returned Hou Ying's contact number.
And Hou Ying didn't have any new tricks, she just continued to talk about the Alpha that was introduced to her.
Zhu Fu reluctantly agreed to add Alpha's contact number. Perhaps it would be faster to solve the problem directly from the target person. The two of them could calm down for a while after the failed blind date. Alpha, who was noticed by Hou Ying, was not an easy target.
[Hello, I am Zhu Fu introduced by Hou Ying]
After sending the message, Zhu Fu took out the ingredients and started busying herself with filling her stomach, completely ignoring the reaction of the person on the other end of the message.
"Tsk~ Are you willing to add me?" Cang Weiran looked at the message, grinning with gritted teeth, and fantasized about how to turn the tables.
