The Perfumer Who Wears the Book

Compared with the first-level task, the second-level task is not much different in essence. It is still the task of mixing perfume, but the difficulty and number of tasks have been greatly improved.

This time, there are a total of forty recipes, and each recipe lists as many as fifty kinds of spices. Su Xu can add spices appropriately, but cannot reduce them.Fortunately, there are ten kinds of spices in each formula that give the dosage, and also roughly describe the effect that this perfume wants to achieve, which reduces part of the workload for Su Xu.

After reading the recipes one by one, Su Xu deeply felt that even if he was a genius, it would take at least a year to complete the task with the same high quality as last time, and now that his career has started, the future will definitely get better and better. The busier you get, the less and less time you have to complete the task, so it is even more uncertain when the task will be completed.

Looking at Ed's expectant eyes, although Su Xu couldn't bear to disappoint him, she didn't want him to be hopeless either. After thinking about it, she still told him her thoughts tactfully.

Ed's eyes widened, his tail, which was frantically swinging a second ago, froze in mid-air, and then he fell asleep on the ground bit by bit.He involuntarily let out a shrill sob from his throat, and then realized that he had made such an aggrieved sound, as if he was a little ashamed, he immediately stood up, turned around and ran out of the studio.

Su Xu chased after the door subconsciously, watching Ed quickly pass through the rosemary flowerbed with small purple-blue flowers, and finally ran into the bitter orange tree flowerbed full of snow-white orange blossoms, the ripples of the branches and leaves immediately Swinging from the tops of densely packed bitter orange trees to both sides, and finally calmed down, Su Xu could no longer find Ed's trace.

Every time I saw Ed, he looked heartless and carefree. Even when he talked about his first love, Jonathan, he cried like a child throwing a tantrum. Su Xu didn't expect him to be so eager Leaving the space, after hearing what I said, I would be so sad and sad.

Su Xu sighed, the sudden strong sense of guilt in his heart made him a little depressed.He stood at the door for a while, but finally did not see Ed, and then returned to the studio.Although he really wants to start completing the second-level task now and let Ed leave the space as soon as possible, but now he is restless and his mind is full of various distracting thoughts. Looking at the spices on the formula, he has no idea at all. Sitting down, he grabbed the perfumer's notes awarded to him by the "Master of Perfumery" and flipped through it.

At first, Su Xu just wanted to do something to pass the time, to see if he could wait for Ed to come back. Unexpectedly, after 5 minutes, his attention was completely attracted by the content in the diary.

According to Ed, in the world he lived in, technology has developed beyond human imagination. Correspondingly, the development level of the incense making industry is also far ahead of the human world.The content in this diary has been translated into Chinese, but there are still many terms and terms in it that cannot be expressed in any human language, and can only be written in a language that Su Xu cannot understand. There are still many theories that Su Xu There is no way to understand it.

But just like this, even after guessing and watching, what Su Xu gained still shocked him.It's as if a mortal has accidentally entered the heavenly palace and fairyland, spying on the mysteries of the gods.

In the world where Ed lives, there seem to be many intelligent creatures of different species, but although the brain has evolved wisdom, the body still retains the characteristics of the original beast, such as strong body odor.

For humans whose facial features have been extremely degenerated, the feeling of smell may have completely stayed on the simple level of "good smell" and "bad smell".But in fact, subconsciously, even without realizing it, humans are still using their instincts as animals to process these smells.For example, the smell of a healthy person with good living and eating habits is more attractive than that of a weak and diseased person; if a man's body odor contains androsterone, he will be more attractive. Women are welcome, and a woman whose body odor has the right concentration of butyrate is perceived by men as making them feel good.The reason why humans use perfume, from an animal point of view, is to make themselves smell more like a healthy choice for breeding together.

This is true for human beings, but it is even more true for those of Ed's kind who still retain the keen sense of smell when they were beasts.Their keen sense of smell makes it impossible for them to completely cover up their body odor with perfume, so they can only make their body odor, like other spices, become a part of the perfume as a raw material, so that the two work together.In Ed's world, a good perfume doesn't mean smelling like a garden, but making him smell attractive.

This sentence is also applicable to human beings. The modulation of perfume is not simply a stack of smells, but to create a hazy atmosphere. Although human beings can no longer distinguish the smell of secretions that they are not aware of from body odor, their consciousness However, you can feel the joy and comfort from the smell, as well as the attractiveness that the perfume user brings to yourself, and this subtle feeling is the crucial factor that determines the quality of a perfume.

This perfumer's diary is like a godsend to Su Xu, who is preparing to start a custom perfume business. The insensitivity of human sense of smell makes him even if he is only one percent of the perfumer's level in Ed's world. Disdain for the entire custom fragrance industry.

Su Xu was fascinated by it, when suddenly a big paw "slapped" on the table, and the long silver hair like silk spread out to cover his hand.Su Xu looked up along the dog's paw, and saw Ed's calm but excited face.

"So, at critical times, you really can't count on low-level creatures like you." Ed raised his chin in disgust, looked at him sideways, then shook his head and sneezed in dissatisfaction, arrogantly said, "I specifically checked the task statement and rules and regulations given to me just now, and read them one by one carefully twice."

"Then?" Su Xu closed the diary and put her hand on Ed's paw.

Ed raised his paw in dissatisfaction, quickly patted Su Xu's hand under his paw, and then continued: "Although in principle, I am not allowed to interfere with your mission, but I am allowed to report to the space. The owner provides help and guidance, and the help and guidance do not limit the content and scope."

In the end, he raised his head triumphantly, and proudly said: "As an outstanding graduate of the 17250-level fragrance major of the Perfume School of Imperial Central University, it is an honor for you to be guided by me!"

(⊙＿⊙)

Su Xu blinked, looked at Ed's bright eyes, expressionless.

After a stalemate for five seconds, Ed finally became furious. He stood up and pushed Su Xu hard with his two front paws, almost toppling him and the chair.

"What kind of expression do you have!" After a push, Ed rushed over again, stepping on Su Xu's foot with one back foot, resting on his thigh with one front paw, and resting on his other front paw. Unceremoniously pressed on his face, aggressive.

"Have I heard you say before that I didn't expect to be in the same company, can I be shocked?" Su Xu leaned back vigorously, grabbed Ed's paws with both hands, trying to pull him away.Unlike human hands, the nails on Ed's paws grow towards the front of the palm. When he pressed his paws, although the pads were soft, the nails were completely sunk in the flesh, causing excruciating pain.

Ed reluctantly lowered his paws, and sneezed fiercely in his face, spraying his face with water, then he gave up, took two steps back and sat down, still moaning. an angry sound.

Su Xu touched his face and found that the skin was not broken, so he was relieved.The damage to his body in the space will be brought back to the outside of the space, and the bruises and cuts are easy to explain. If there are four small holes on his face, he really doesn't know how to explain it to Shen Jiarui when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

Looking at the time, after conversion, I found that it was already the early morning of the next day outside the space, Su Xu hurriedly said goodbye to Ed, and left the space to go to sleep.

The next afternoon, Su Xu came to the office of Zhao's mother's private lawyer's law firm, and was about to sign a contract with her on making custom perfumes.

Now domestic perfume customization is an extremely remote industry, and there are almost no precedents for contract clauses in this area. Lawyers have never seen any cases, and Su Xu has also never been in touch with related matters.Fortunately, Zhao's mother sincerely wanted to cooperate with Su Xu, and the production of perfume was not in a hurry, so she hired another lawyer from the firm, and the four of them discussed every aspect of the contract together. The terms were verified word by word, and the final version was finally produced after a week.The two parties signed, Zhao's mother paid a deposit of 10 yuan, and decided on the time for Su Xu to collect information on Zhao's mother for the first time, and the cooperation officially started.

At this time, it was also the day when Shen Jiarui's school started.

On the first day of school, Su Xu sent Shen Jiarui to the school to report and meet the head teacher by the way.He heard that some teachers in the school would give "special care" to those students because their parents didn't express it. Although he didn't know what kind of teacher Shen Jiarui's future class teacher would be, there was nothing wrong with clearing up the relationship in advance.

However, perfume is not suitable as a gift when you meet for the first time. It is easy to give a completely unsuitable gift without knowing the other party's preferences for perfume.So what Su Xu prepared for the teacher was a large bottle of prepared compound essential oil with whitening and moisturizing effects.

Shen Jiarui saw that Su Xu specially prepared a gift for a strange teacher he hadn't met yet, even though he knew it was for himself, he still felt very sore in his heart, half complaining and half acting coquettishly: "At first it was Zhao Xiaoxuan, then it was Aunt Gu, now And it’s the head teacher who doesn’t know who it is, Dad, you remember everyone else, why did you forget that you haven’t made perfume or essential oil for me yet.”

Su Xu smiled and said, "You're not old enough to use perfume yet."

"I want it~" Shen Jiarui gently shook Su Xu's arm, "I want my father to mix me a perfume that only belongs to me, just like Aunt Gu's. How about it, Dad~"

Su Xu had absolutely nothing to do with Shen Jiarui, and besides, this kind of thing was dispensable, since Shen Jiarui acted like a baby, of course he had no reason to refuse.So, after Shen Jiarui enthusiastically offered a dozen kisses, he finally agreed and decided to make a simpler perfume for him as well.
