Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 52 But this perfume is a good thing
Hearing the courtesan's answer, Zhang Zhiqiang was stunned again.

He had experienced the stimulation brought by the perfume tonight, so he naturally understood how valuable this perfume was.

He originally thought that after Xiaoyao Palace closed its cloth shop, it would completely lose its source of income, but he didn't expect that Xiaoyao Palace would actually develop this kind of thing.

This perfume is much more valuable than those cloths!

If Xiaoyao Palace sells this perfume in large quantities, it will probably become rich in no time.

Zhang Zhiqiang frowned and said to the courtesan on the bed, "Jiaojiao, can you sell me this bottle of perfume?"

Hearing this, the courtesan quickly said, "That won't do. The host only brought back 300 bottles, and each of us can only get one. If I give it to you, I will have none left."

Zhang Zhiqiang said, "I'll buy it for you with my money, what do you think?"

The courtesan continued, "This perfume is very important to me."

With this perfume, they no longer have to soak in the bathtub for a long time, which is much more convenient. Moreover, their bodies can maintain the fragrance for a long time and can continue to exude attraction to men.

Zhang Zhiqiang gritted his teeth and said directly: "One hundred taels of silver!"

The courtesan still didn't agree immediately, so Zhang Zhiqiang continued, "Jiaojiao, you said that Xiaoyao Palace will soon be selling this perfume. When the time comes, you can just go to the store there and buy it. No matter how expensive this perfume is, it can't be a hundred taels of silver a bottle."

The courtesan thought about it and felt that there was some truth in it, so she said reluctantly, "Okay then."

Then Zhang Zhiqiang stood up and took out a hundred taels of silver from his clothes and gave it to the courtesan. After taking the perfume from the courtesan, Zhang Zhiqiang put on his clothes and left Baihua Tower.

……

Zhang family.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the Zhang family's house was still brightly lit. There were so many lanterns that the entire house looked as bright as day.

In the lobby of the Zhang family, Zhang Yunyi, the patriarch of the Zhang family, sat in the main seat, holding a small porcelain bottle that exuded fragrance in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

Then he said indifferently, "No wonder Xiaoyao Palace has strengthened its guards these days. It turns out they developed this thing."

Zhang Zhiqiang, who was in the middle of the hall, immediately said, "Master, if we allow Xiaoyao Palace to sell a large amount of this perfume, I'm afraid it won't be long before Xiaoyao Palace will be revitalized."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but sneer, "Revitalize? Even King Xiaoyao is almost dead, how can they revitalize?"

"Once Prince Xiaoyao dies, the entire Prince Xiaoyao Palace will fall apart. I'm afraid the Prince Xiaoyao Palace will never be revived."

Having said that, Zhang Yunyi uncorked the small porcelain bottle, took a deep breath, and said, "But this perfume is actually a good thing."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiqiang immediately said, "Master, why don't we send people from the Blood Cloud Tower directly into the Xiaoyao Palace and steal the perfume making method?"

Zhang Yunyi did not respond to Zhang Zhiqiang's words immediately. He put the cork in his hand back into the small porcelain bottle, and then he kept tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhang Yunyi could naturally see the value of perfume. If the Zhang family could obtain the method of making perfume, the Zhang family's wealth would surely double again.

Moreover, Zhang Yunyi believed that even if their Zhang family did not seize the method of making this perfume, other families or certain forces would definitely seize the method of making this perfume.

Take Baihualou for example. Since Baihualou has begun to contact Xiaoyao Palace, it proves that Baihualou is already eyeing the perfume-making method.

However, there are two second-grade warriors in Xiaoyao Palace, and Xiaoyao Palace has also strengthened its guard force during this period. If you want to steal things from Xiaoyao Palace now, you must at least send a first-grade warrior.

Perhaps he had read Zhang Yunyi's mind, so Zhang Zhiqiang said, "Master, a few days ago, the Blood Cloud Tower sent people to the Xiaoyao King's manor to search for immortal techniques. They clashed with some forces and a fight broke out inside the Xiaoyao King's manor. This caught the attention of the Xiaoyao King's Mansion, and they transferred Shi Yuheng back to the manor. Now, Li Yunfan is the only second-rank official in the entire Xiaoyao King's Mansion."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunyi didn't hesitate any longer and said directly: "Let the Blood Cloud Tower take action, and you don't get involved." Zhang Zhiqiang immediately said: "Yes, Patriarch!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Zhiqiang turned and left.

Watching Zhang Zhiqiang's departing figure, Zhang Yunyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and said to himself, "I didn't expect that King Xiaoyao would give our Zhang family such a big gift before his death."

……

the next day.

Baihua Street.

Early in the morning, a group of beautiful women and talented men gathered at the door of a shop called "Liufang Pavilion".

There were several signs at the entrance of Liufang Pavilion that read, "This shop's perfume is the same as the one used by the courtesan in Baihua Tower."

Seeing this sign, everyone who had come into contact with the perfume from the courtesan yesterday became very interested.

At this time, a man in gray coarse cloth came to the door of Liufang Pavilion and asked excitedly, "Who is the shopkeeper?"

Hearing someone calling him, Song Yongliang immediately came out from the inner room.

Song Yongliang took a look at the man's attire and didn't dislike him because he was wearing coarse clothes. He smiled and asked, "I wonder what kind of perfume this guest would like?"

Xiang Kai asked, "Where does your perfume come from? Is it really the same perfume used by the courtesans at Baihua Tower?"

Song Yongliang said: "This perfume was developed by our Xiaoyao Palace. The perfume used by the girls in Baihua Tower was also bought from our Xiaoyao Palace."

When people heard Song Yongliang say that the perfume was developed by Xiaoyao Palace, they were all very surprised.

Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion had just closed its cloth shop a few days ago. They thought that Prince Xiaoyao was about to die and that Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion would no longer have any industry from now on. Unexpectedly, not long after, Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion opened a shop again and even developed a product such as perfume.

Xiang Kai didn't care who developed these perfumes. He asked directly, "Do you have any perfumes with particularly strong fragrances?"

Song Yongliang said: "Yes."

As soon as Song Yongliang finished speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle with a red mark from the cabinet and said, "Guest, smell it."

Xiang Kai immediately took the bottle from Song Yongliang and opened the cork. The next moment, a strong fragrance rushed into Xiang Kai's nose.

Xiang Kai couldn't help but choke and cough, and Song Yongliang quickly said, "Sir, this perfume has the strongest scent of all the perfumes, but you can dilute it after you buy it."

As soon as Song Yongliang finished speaking, Xiang Kai put the cork on the bottle and asked, "How much is this perfume?"

Song Yongliang replied: "Ten..."

Before Song Yongliang could finish his words, Xiang Kai immediately said, "Fifteen taels a bottle? That's so cheap. How much perfume do you have in Liufang Pavilion? We at Prince Fu's Mansion want it all!"

After hearing this, Song Yongliang finally realized that it was no wonder that this person looked so excited. It turned out that he was a servant of Prince Fu's Mansion.

It was common knowledge in the capital that Prince Fu had a strange body odor. Even though Prince Fu always carried a sachet with him, it could not cover up the strange smell.

Now with this perfume, the unpleasant smell on Prince Fu's body can be suppressed.

However, Song Yongliang smiled and said at this time: "This guest, I am really sorry, the perfume is sold to each person one bottle."
