Chapter 63: Asking about Fengyoujing
At noon that day, the weather in Kyoto was gloomy and the air was a little humid, as if it was going to rain.
Today, Mrs. Shangshu will set up a stage in the mansion to listen to a play. I wonder if God is doing her best and she won't be able to listen to the play.
But Song Youan didn't dare to delay the cake ordered by the other party, so she walked out of Youanju carrying an incubator and an umbrella.
"Song...Miss Song."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped down the steps, a man in gray plain clothes suddenly jumped out from the side.
Song You'an was startled, but fortunately she didn't have the cake in her hand, otherwise she would have dropped it and dropped it to the ground.
When the other party saw Song You'an's reaction, he realized that he was too abrupt, and he quickly handed over his hand and apologized: "My dear, I forgive you, I didn't mean to offend you."
Patting her chest, Song You calmed down her frightened heart and then looked at the other party.
A fair and delicate scholar, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, looked a little uneasy and embarrassed at this time. He lowered his head slightly and did not dare to look directly at Song You'an.
"It's okay, who are you?"
Sensing that the other party had no ill intentions, Song Youan asked.
"The young man's surname is Tang, and his single name is the word jade." Tang Yu first signed himself up, and then said: "Miss Song, don't be surprised. When the young man saw the no visitors sign hanging in front of You Anju's door, he didn't dare to knock on the door and could only stand guard at the door. Try your luck and wait for the girl to go out.”
When Song Youan heard this, she subconsciously glanced at the sign she hung beside the door [No Visitors Today].
She initially hung up the wooden sign to prevent anyone from knocking on You Anju's door to look for her when she was away in Dazhao. Fortunately, the people in Dazhao were very well-behaved and would not come to disturb her when they saw the wooden sign.
"Young master, you have been waiting for a long time, but you want to see me if you have anything?"
Tang Yu was a little nervous. He didn't dare to look at Song You'an's face. He just lowered his head and said hurriedly: "Yes, Xiaosheng, I took the liberty of seeing a Fengyoujing thing at the little Marquis' place two days ago. I heard that this thing has All of us academy students are in need of its refreshing effect. After everyone discussed it, they sent me to find out about Miss Song. Is there any more of this essential oil? If I want to buy it, how much is it worth?"
< br>
It turned out that I was here to ask about Fengyoujing.
She thought that the little Marquis was addicted to studying and could not leave the house, so this Fengyoujing would not be known to others so quickly.
As a result, in the afternoon of that day, Zhu Zhe couldn't wait to go out and show off this new thing, Fengyoujing. News spread quickly among the students in Kyoto, and the magical effects of Fengyoujing made people eager to take action after hearing about it.
With it, you will get twice the result with half the effort when reading.
Song Youan thought for a while and said softly: "Currently, the only bottle of Fengyoujing that Xiaohou Ye has."
When Tang Yu heard this, he looked a little disappointed.
But Song Youan added: "But if you need it, you can give me some time."
Tang Yu was startled, then delighted. He subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Song You'an, but when he saw Song You'an's beautiful appearance, his face turned red and he quickly lowered his head.
It has nothing to do with anything else, he just can't look at strangers of the opposite sex at close range, and he can't control his blushing and heartbeat.
"Gu... what the girl said is that it will definitely take time to make something like this." Tang Yu said with a trembling tone.
Seeing his appearance, Song Youan couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Then the young master will go back and tell everyone to wait a little longer."
"Okay." Tang Yu nodded, and then asked sheepishly: "Then... what about the price?" "It won't be too expensive." Song Youan blurted out.
The reason why she asked the other party to wait a little longer was to prepare some cheaper Fengyoujing.
There are thousands of students in Kyoto, but not everyone is as rich as the young Marquis of the Marquis House. Most of them are students from ordinary families or even poor families. They cannot afford even a few taels of silver, let alone dozens of taels.
What Song Youan is more worried about is that most Fengyoujing is packaged in glass bottles. In Dazhao, glass is called colored glaze. This thing is a very expensive material. If she sells Fengyoujing in glass packaging at a very low price, Selling it in Dazhao will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Although perfume is also made of glass, it is expensive, which makes people feel that the price is reasonable. These ladies are also very fond of these colorful and unique glass packaging, and are even more willing to pay for it.
Fengyoujing is different. The market demand behind it is greater and it is suitable for almost everyone. Song Youan will not limit its market to high-ranking nobles, but will make it affordable for ordinary people.
But she still has to wait for her to plan how to do it.
After hearing the words "not too expensive", Tang Yu slowly breathed a sigh of relief. When he raised his head again, Miss Song had already left.
Walking to the entrance of Fuhua Alley, there were still a few customers at the bun stall just after noon. When the shopkeeper saw Song Youan, he couldn't help but greeted her warmly: "Girl, you haven't been out for two days."
Song Youan smiled and nodded, then looked under the eaves of the pawn shop opposite, only to find that the few beggars were not there today.
When the store owner saw this, he explained: "I came here at noon to collect the buns and then left. Maybe it was because it was going to rain, so these children didn't come out to beg."
"Twice a day, the store has never been left behind, right?" Song Youan asked.
"Don't worry, girl, I have to serve a few bowls of soy milk every time." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The weather is getting hotter, so if the soy milk is not sold out, it will go bad easily. The girl's kind deed has affected me, so I thought it would be better Just give it to these children, it will also replenish their health.”
Song You'an smiled when he heard this, chatted with the store owner for a few more words, and then went to Shangshu Mansion.
The dark clouds were heavy, but the rain did not fall.
Everyone in Kyoto knew that Mrs. Shangshu loved to listen to operas. Lord Shangshu loved his wife so much that he built a stage in a separate courtyard of the palace, and often invited famous opera troupes from Kyoto to sing operas in the palace.
Because Lord Shangshu held a high position in the court, many officials from Kyoto took the initiative to seek his favor in order to maintain this relationship. Whenever there was a play in Shangshu's mansion, all the ladies would happily go there.
Today the clouds cover the sun and a storm is coming, but it is no exception.
There was endless chatter and laughter in the courtyard, and an awning was set up where the opera was to be performed. It was obvious that even if it rained, it would not prevent Mrs. Shangshu from listening to the opera.
"Madam, Miss Song is here to deliver the cake."
A nun quickly walked up to Mrs. Shangshu and spoke softly.
She was dressed luxuriously and had a graceful figure. When she heard this, she just raised the corners of her eyes slightly and there was an unmistakable charm about her.
"Oh? Madam, you also ordered a cake?"
"Is this the same thing we had at the Duke's birthday party last time?"
The two ladies on the side both looked surprised when they heard this, and then asked in unison: "Which shop is this thing made in?"
The words fell in the ears of Mrs. Fuyang Hou. She chuckled and said: "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. He, don't you know? This cake is not from any shop, but made by Miss Song from You'anju. My Ling'er bought it. Several times, I have eaten it several times, it is really unforgettable.”
