Chapter 79 Six Little Celebrities

Mo Shaoheng said, "My lords, do you think the sea of ​​flowers outside Liangjing is beautiful?"

Everyone couldn't help being taken aback, weren't they talking about wine just now?

The sea of ​​flowers outside the city is so beautiful, there are probably very few people in Liangjing who haven't seen it.

Even though they are court officials, although they are usually busy, they will accompany their families to visit when they are taking a bath.

That is really beautiful, even the books of sages, or folk scripts can't write beautifully.

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Mo Shaoheng said, "Although the sea of ​​flowers is beautiful, it is a pity that after the season, thousands of flowers wither and the beauty is no longer there. It is really regrettable."

Everyone: "..."

Regrets must be regrettable, but sometimes the vegetation is withered and flourishing, and it is not a fairy, can it still make the flowers bloom invincibly?

Mo Shaoheng said, "However, although the flowers are gone, I have left the fragrance of the flowers in this bottle, so that the people in my Northern Liang can still smell the fragrance in winter."

Everyone: "..."

What is Mo Shaoheng talking about?

Can't let the flowers bloom undefeated, so keep the fragrance of the flowers?

This is this...

If it wasn't for the seriousness on Mo Shaoheng's face, they would all have thought that Mo Shaoheng was telling some big joke.

How can this be?

Mo Shaoheng directly put the small bottle on the tray, and asked the palace man on duty to bring it up for the saint to have a look at.

The saint was also puzzled, but when he opened the small bottle, he could smell the pleasant fragrance of flowers in his nose.

Fresh and refined, elegant but not strong.

It's really...it's the fragrance of flowers, and it's a very nice one.

Actually left the scent of flowers in a small bottle.

Just this smell, seems to be able to recall the feeling of being in the sea of ​​flowers.

The sage couldn't help holding the bottle and looking at it. This is a treasure, just like those unrealistic fairy treasures in the storybook.

Those who don't know may think that there are some strange flowers and plants in the bottle.

Looking at the bottle, it seems that it is just water.

Mo Shaoheng continued, "This is called perfume, and it is made from the essence of flowers."

"If preserved properly, it can still maintain the fragrance of flowers for several years."

"However, it takes a lot of fresh flowers to make such a small bottle."

saint:"……"

He probably understood why Mo Shaoheng bought wildflower seeds everywhere last year, and why he wanted to plant a sea of ​​flowers outside the city.

Originally, I thought that Mo Shaoheng was that elegant man with special interests and hobbies.

It turned out that I didn't expect to be able to produce such a floral fragrance.

This flower is fragrant and can be preserved for a long time, that is to say, there must be no shortage of people who appreciate it and pay a lot of money to buy it.

In particular, I heard that men in the Eastern Tang Dynasty loved beauty, and everyone had fine appliques on their foreheads, not to mention women, who had to comb their temples with delicate yellow flowers every day.

If this perfume is introduced to Dongtang, it may cause an unimaginable mad rush.

The sage asked the man on duty to show the perfume to the ministers.

A sound of surprise filled the entire Golden Palace for a while.

To put it in an unrealistic way, this little bottle is almost like the fairy baby of the flower fairy.

Especially Zhao Yanqiu, this stinky guy didn't want to let go of the bottle.

Carefully pour out a little and apply it on the body.

Fragrant.

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

Perfume can indeed be used to smoke clothes, and only a little is enough. Put a little perfume on the inside of the clothes and pass through the crowd. I thought it was the flower fairy who had entered the mortal world.

Zhao Yanqiu muttered, "It's really a good thing, I'm willing to spend any amount of money."

The entire Golden Palace was silent.

Zhao Yanqiu was also taken aback, and quickly coughed, "It was just an exaggeration, a fallacy."

Everyone: "..."

That's what's on your mind, you prodigal prince.

But it also spoke out the voices of many people who share the same hobby.

A group of people actually looked into Mo Shaoheng's box again, as if to see if there were any other good things.

Mo Shaoheng spread his hands, "These are the only ones that are brought to the hall today."

Everyone: "..."

There are really others, but I didn’t bring them.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Whether it's wine or perfume, they are all prepared for the China Sugar and Wine Fair." leaving a special impression on businessmen."

"In the future, more businessmen will come to Liangjing."

Everyone was also said to be very angry, because... the merchants from various countries must have brought a lot of gold.

Perhaps what Mo Shaoheng said about making Liangjing the world's business center may not be impossible.

Focusing on commerce, supplemented by agriculture, the world is rich.

Of course, there must be a major premise for this, the world cannot be chaotic.

If it gets messed up, I'm afraid I won't be in the mood to come to Liangjing for business, and the road will become extremely dangerous, so it's better to go home and grow crops.

Of course, all the officials are thinking about the prosperity of Wanshang Lailiang in their minds.

It turned out that due to geographical problems, their Northern Liang was not rich in agriculture, and it was not that there were no other ways to go.

After a while of excitement, it was early morning.

Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Yanqiu's commercial affairs team were in charge of the sugar and wine fair, so Mo Shaoheng simply gave the bottle of perfume to Zhao Yanqiu, and the sage must send a new bottle.

Zhao Yanqiu used to be like a peacock all day long, but now it's even worse.

It used to be a flower peacock in the mortal world, but now it is a flower in the sky.

In fact, besides Zhao Yanqiu, Mo Shaoheng also prepared some perfumes for other people, such as his mother concubine, such as Tianfei and the eldest princess.

Therefore, the result was that before the sugar and wine fair started, a treasure called "Flower Fairy's Little White Bottle" had spread in Liangjing.

"I heard that the little white bottle is the bottle where the flower fairy in the sky collects the scent of flowers."

"Flowers all year round."

"Bring it on your body, wherever you go, you will have the fragrance of flowers on your body, just like the flower fairy entering the mortal world."

At first, everyone still didn't believe that the treasure of the gods could get into the hands of ordinary people, but suddenly some people smelled the faint fragrance of flowers on the street.

Chasing and searching caused a sensation in most of Liangjing.

"Could it be that the flower fairy has devoted herself to our Liangjing?"

"I smelled the fragrance of the flowers. It was faintly present, but it was definitely not a hallucination."

The more it spreads, the more divine it becomes.

And Zhao Yanqiu, who usually likes to go to Bird Clothes Lane to watch and play games: "..."

Wherever he went now, someone would suddenly stop and search everywhere.

He really regarded him as the reincarnation of the flower fairy.

He heard from Mo Shaoheng that the production of this perfume is not high, and it is sold in limited quantities, that is to say, not too many people can bring their own floral fragrance.

It is destined that whoever buys the perfume will become the target of everyone's attention.

Perfume, perhaps, can cause unimaginable looting.

It is true that the output of perfume is not high, but another thing, the output is too high.

At this moment, in Bird Clothes Lane, a group of peddlers are really cute, holding a washbasin and washing their faces with water.

In his hand, he held a piece of soap that smelled good. Unlike perfume, the flower essence of soap needs to be very refined and rich, and the natural yield is much higher.

In particular, Sophora japonica can also be used to extract flower essence, but the taste is relatively weak.

Therefore, the large pagoda tree forest has naturally become Mo Shaoheng's favorite place. It has been planted for countless years. The number of pagoda flowers in Kazuki alone is amazing. It's not that the wild flowers he planted temporarily can compare of.

"We don't need soap to wash our hands in the future?" A group of small shopkeepers are still discussing.

They think that soap is very good. It can wash their hands and faces white and clean every day. The people in Liangjing praise them, so even the soap business in their grocery stores has improved a lot.

But now, Shizi told them that they no longer need soap to wash their hands and face, it is for washing clothes.

They have to switch to bar soap.

Still a little confused, I waited to apply the soap on my hands and face, and was so surprised that I forgot to continue to apply water.

"Yes... it's the fragrance of flowers."

"I smell it, it's the faint scent of Sophora japonica."

All of a sudden, there were sounds of surprise.

"Really, this soap smells so good."

"Haha, I also have the fragrance of flowers on me, I am the little flower fairy."

Before the sale of Mo Shaoheng's soap started, it had already become popular because of the early trials of these small shopkeepers.

The biggest trouble for the little shopkeepers now is that people always pull them over to have a sniff.He also said that they are the same as the flower bones on the tree.

The news spread very well, so they couldn't buy the little white bottle of Huaxianzi, but they could buy the soap with a faint scent of acacia flower?

According to what those small shopkeepers said, Mo Shaoheng planned to sell the soap in grocery stores after mass production.

This thing is really good, look at those little shopkeepers who are white and tender, exuding the fragrance of flowers, they are really like little fairies in the sky.

Not only the children in Liangjing are envious, but adults are also envious.

Merchants from various countries now live in Liangjing City, so they inevitably began to inquire after hearing the news.

What is the most profitable thing?Of course it is rare and valuable.

This inquiring was really incredible, besides this small white bottle of the gods who passed on so miraculously, there was also the fine wine of Doujiuqianjin.

So, besides silk, this Beiliang really has a lot of good things.

However, the replies I got were all, see the real chapter at the Sugar and Wine Fair.

Although the sugar and wine fair will start in a few days, it is even more exciting.

Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Yanqiu are setting up the sugar and wine fair.

Looking at Zhao Yanqiu who was flamboyant every day, Mo Shaoheng couldn't help joking a few words, "You hook up with people everywhere when you have nothing to do, the title of King of the Sea belongs to you."

"Tsk tsk, how many boudoir ladies and lords are jealous of each other."

Zhao Yanqiu snorted, "Some people, that is, they are married now, and they don't even think about who they were before.

So, big brother don't talk about second brother.

After finishing speaking, he added, "I heard that when you were in Nanli, people broke their heads because of jealousy every day?"

"Tsk tsk, I'm sweating for King Yan, I'm so worried about this day."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

Has the news spread to Beiliang?When he was in Nanli before, he looked more like a gentleman who had read poetry and books.

A humble gentleman, naturally... more people want to get closer and make friends, but after returning to Beiliang, he became stronger and daunting, and no one would fight for him.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Who do you listen to nonsense? When I was in Nanli, I made friends with scholars. Don't think of others so dirty."

Zhao Yanqiu laughed, "I heard that Lian Nanli's court was so jealous that he had to make a fuss in the Golden Palace every day before he would let it go."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

His life in Nanli was a little stimulating.

In Beiliang before, he was small, still a child, so the people who played with him just liked to be close to him, nothing else.

But in Nanli, he gradually grew from an immature young man to a modest gentleman. During this process, he came into contact with classmates, young officials who were officials in the same dynasty, and the descendants of officials in the Golden Palace.

There are many of them, especially those who want to get closer to him.

Well, the number is a little bit more.

However, Mo Shaoheng dared to swear that he would definitely treat him coldly, and would never say a few words that were not important.

But, the more he is like this, the more those people want to get closer to him.

This... he can't help it.

Mo Shaoheng and Zhao Yanqiu looked at each other, and the two wisely did not continue this topic.

They are all trouble-making foxes, pretending to be innocent little milk dogs.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

The sugar and wine fair has also started.

On this day, the people of Liangjing discovered that Dongshi was sealed off, and they needed some kind of invitation to enter.

This should be the sugar and wine party organized by the imperial court. It is specially held for businessmen from various countries and their own countries. It is mainly for transnational business and trade?

No way, the rum has been fermented for too long, and they all learned some new terms from it.

Even if you can't get in, there are still many people watching the excitement.

Above the entrance, there is a long strip of red cloth, with a line of big characters written on it, "The First Sugar and Wine Conference in Liangjing".

When businessmen from various countries took out their gold-plated invitations and walked in, they felt...Beer had a lot of face.

As soon as he walked in, he was stunned.

Soap bubbles floated over.

Under the sunshine, it is like a dream.

Dou Zi and other small shopkeepers were holding a box of soapy water, blowing vigorously.Originally, the Sugar and Wine Fair was organized by the imperial court and had nothing to do with these small shopkeepers, so Mo Shaoheng asked them to come and gain insight and help out a little.

For example, tables and chairs are provided next to the booth, which is convenient for business negotiations and signing contracts. There are tea and red bean cakes on the table. The small shopkeepers need to carry teapots to pour tea, see if the red bean cakes need to be replenished, etc. These easy things .

In the beautiful bubble, continue to walk forward, and then froze again.

What they saw was the first booth.

Each booth is equipped with eloquent introducers, documents for drafting contracts, and accountants who settle accounts.

In addition, what stunned them was that on the booth, among the piles of products, there was a young boy in a fine dress, who looked carefully dressed.

The young boy looked like he grew up in an aristocratic family, with a good image and a good temperament.

but……

what are they doing?

For example, at the first booth, Zhao Yuning was holding a basket of preserved eggs, and then posed in an elegant posture, as if frozen, standing there motionless.

It seems that he counted a few numbers silently, and then changed into another good-looking posture.

Everyone: "..."

What is this doing?

It feels so strange.

But it also made people notice the products in Zhao Yuning's hands for the first time.

In Mo Shaoheng's words, plane models.

Let's see now, is it true that the preserved eggs in the hands of a noble young man like Zhao Yuning are of a higher grade?

Looking at the businessmen who came in, they were immediately shocked, right?

Zhao Jingcheng, who was at the booth next to him, was also watching the excitement, "No, no, no, Yu Ning actually pretended to be there. Look at how skillfully this pose is."

"Look at this well-behaved little appearance, like a little celebrity, even the preserved egg in his hand feels stronger."

He also has to work hard.

They are the sixteen small celebrities in Liangjing, and they are not in vain.

Including Nan Yi, there are 16 of them in total.

Since the last time they were given directional seed cultivation and went to various places to promote compulsory education, they were dismissed by the court at a young age and received the court's salary.

Somehow, the title of Liangjing Sixteen Little Celebrities came out.

Now each of them has their own identities, and the burden of being an idol is too heavy. When Mo Shaoheng saw them outside sometimes, he thought that these students were possessed.

I also laughed for a long time, this kind of thing, only when they get used to it, it will be nothing. Fame is a good thing, but it is not good if it is tired of it.

It's not bad to let them be a little tsundere right now, as young people, they should naturally live like young people.

Zhao Jingcheng's endorsement today is chili sauce.

There are chili sauces for beef, lamb, pork, chicken, duck, and black bean sauce.

The small diced meat, stirred in the spicy oil, is extremely fragrant.

Even Zhao Jingcheng, he can skip vegetables, and he can order a big bowl of rice with only chili sauce.

It can be seen how the taste is, it can be called a magic weapon for eating.

Moreover, chili sauce and preserved eggs have a benefit that no one can ignore for businessmen from these countries.

They traveled long distances, and there were no resting places in many places, so they had to sleep in the open.

What about eating?It is always impossible to bring the dishes.

So they always use their own pots to cook a little food, and just eat a simple meal. They don't want to eat anything delicious, just want to be full and have the strength to go on the road.

So the hardships on the road can be imagined.

But...with various flavors of chili sauce and preserved eggs, it's different.

It will definitely add an unimaginable taste to their journey.

And whether it is preserved eggs or chili sauce, they are very easy to carry and can be stored for a long time.

Sure enough, a businessman ran to the booth to check the situation in a daze, and the staff who was explained arrived.

Especially after trying the taste, the eyes of the whole person lit up.

There is no need for Zhao Yuning and the others to explain this, otherwise with Zhao Yuning's temperament, he would probably only say two words, delicious, and then stare.

Each perform their duties.

Except for the opening speech, the general process of the whole sugar and wine fair is like this. Businessmen can go to the booths they are interested in to watch.

If you are interested and think you can make money, you can sign a contract on the spot.

This is an event sponsored by the imperial court, so there is no need to worry about the legality of the contract, as there are officials directly in charge.

Moreover, if you sign the contract today, there will be a small discount.

What confuses them now is that the products seem to be good, and everything has a reason to buy, and it seems that they can make money.

They don't even need to think about making money or not. The person who introduced them is directly counting the profits for them, which is more professional than their multinational businessmen.

It's a little difficult to choose.

Today's products are really good.

In addition to the silk, salt, wine, sugar, and perfume in the town.

There are also books, paper, pens, brocade cloth, soap, scented soap, bacon, salted fish and so on.

Even small groceries like pig hair toothbrushes look like businessmen are particularly interested.

It is worth mentioning books and brocade.

Books are a little different from the books sold now, they are classic Tibetan editions.

The thick kraft paper book cover, the title and author of the book are printed on the door, and there is even a simple yet elegant pattern.

This is very different from the books sold before, and it seems to be extremely interesting.

Open the book cover, inside is a clean white page with clean and concise words.

The classic Tibetan version does look much more refined in quality.

The main point is that readers should collect a classic book no matter what.

The profits of such books are very considerable, and merchants from various countries can also treat them as rare items and sell them at a good price.

Of course, even for ordinary books, compared to the price of paper in their country, they can still make money shipping them back, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less.

In fact, the quality of brocade cloth is similar to that of other countries.

But the difference is the color of the dyed cloth.

It is so beautiful that I have never seen it before, and there are all kinds of colors that have never been seen before and are suitable.

The merchants actually noticed something different from the moment they came in. The brocade robes on the young masters on the booth were really pretty.

Like flowers dotted in the green grass.

It has added a lot of color to these little celebrities.

The businessmen's eyes were very specific, and they noticed the difference immediately.

I was still thinking in my heart, even if I couldn't bring back the silk, I could buy some brocade cloth like this and sell it at a good price.

Mo Shaoheng walked up to the high platform, pulled out the guqin in his hand with his inner strength, attracting everyone's attention, and then said.

"Welcome everyone, the first Liangjing sugar and wine conference has officially begun."

"Everyone can see that there are booths for various commodities around them. There are some tea and snacks there, and you can pick them up if you need them."

"The products that can be presented at the Sugar and Wine Conference all have their own unique features, and I believe that you will not be disappointed."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then said, "I don't want to talk nonsense, I also know the purpose of coming here from all the distance."

Everyone: "..."

If it was before, they would naturally come here for silk.

But now... there are more or less other ideas.

There are more good things in Beiliang than they imagined.

Mo Shaoheng did not hesitate, and directly asked someone to lift up the silk, "First of all, it is my silk from Beiliang, everyone can check the quality first."

Some people have already begun to display silk.

There was also a sensation in the audience, after all, they did not suffer less in their travels all the way, for the sake of silk.

Mo Shaoheng said, "The demand for silk in the market is very high now, but because the production is not abundant, it has not been able to supply in large quantities."

"I, Beiliang, don't want to be the one who raises the price, so I will sell it at Nanli's previous price."
