Chapter 1: Sweet, Spicy, and Spicy
Sunny afternoon.
In a beautifully decorated perfume shop.
"Wrap all these up for me, Ahao."
A slightly rich hand lined up 5 bottles of exquisite perfume on the counter. The bright jewelry on his hand was even more shining than the perfume bottles.
Ah Hao, who was standing behind the cashier, couldn't help but smile sincerely. Who can resist a generous rich woman?
"Okay, distinguished rich lady, how are you going to pay?"
“Use cash~.”
A slightly superior voice came.
The rich lady stared intently at the handsome young man in front of her, and at the same time took out a bulging wallet from her expensive windbreaker.
Just at this moment, Ah Hao smelled the smell coming from Mrs. Fu's body. It was spicy with a hint of sweetness, and it was definitely not the smell of the perfume in the store.
This smell reminded Ah Hao of [that street]. When he walked by, most of the graceful ladies on that street would exude this sweet and spicy smell while their eyes flashed with gold.
taste.
Ahao didn't understand what this smell was at first, but he understood it after he smelled the sweet and spicy smell on the cat that was screaming miserably downstairs.
When Ah Hao took the money, Mrs. Fu took the opportunity to touch the back of his white hand a few times and scratched his palm with her nails.
Ah Hao continued to maintain a harmless smile, pretending not to notice the crazy blinking on the other side, lowered his head and shook the handle under the counter a few times, causing the cash box to pop out with a bang.
Then he quickly sorted out the change, quickly stuffed the perfume and money into the packaging bag, grabbed one side of the packaging bag and handed it out, all at once.
"Alright, Mrs. Fu, please take your perfume and change. We look forward to our Zu Nana Perfume Shop serving you again."
"I won't take the perfume for now. I still have to go shopping. Could you please deliver it directly to this address tonight?"
Mrs. Fu said as she found a card and a green note from her wallet.
"The change and this are considered as your running expenses. Thank you for your hard work."
I sniffed secretly and found that the sweet and spicy smell had dissipated.
Ahao showed a more sincere smile, "Of course it's no problem, generous rich lady."
With the sound of the wind chime at the door, the huge female body disappeared out of the street.
Ahao rubbed his face that was almost frozen with laughter. Counting the 100 Canadian dollars in errand fees and about 50 Canadian dollars in change, this door-to-door delivery was definitely worth it.
——As long as it’s not you who delivers it to your door.
Ah Hao trusts his nose, and the rich wife's little transgression should end here.
Ahao has always had a gift: he has an amazing sensitivity to smells. As he grew up, he gradually realized that this was a rare ability that no one else had.
He once thought that his family members had bad noses, but later he realized that his own nose was too good.
People around you cannot feel the rich world of taste like you do, nor can you smell the emotions of others.
Yes, Ahao can even smell other people's emotions, the most common ones are the sweetness of joy, the bitterness of sadness, or the sourness of jealousy.
Some emotional smells are so complex that Ah Hao cannot analyze what they represent, but often these complex smells can only be smelled by specific people, so Ah Hao can sometimes identify people by their smell.
Most of the time Ahao is proud of his "dog nose", but sometimes he hates it.
Just like now——
Ahao turned around and sneezed. He couldn't help it. The smell in the store was too strong.
Be patient, there's nothing you can't stand with a little fragrance.
I traveled across the ocean, overcame many obstacles, and took the Arcane Star Gate to come to this strange city. Isn't it just to learn some fragrance skills and go home to reach the pinnacle of life?
Although he is only working as a clerk in a perfume store now, Ah Hao believes that he can always seize the opportunity to learn from him.
Just like the last few times I went to the factory to move goods.
"A sneeze"
Another sneeze, Mrs. Fu must have sprayed too much when she tried the perfume just now!
Looking around, this perfume shop is mainly in elegant white, with some black bows occasionally decorated. There are two rows of black wooden tables in the store, with popular perfume styles that can be tried on, and some white cabinets are placed around the stock.
The overall elegant atmosphere is also rare in this exquisite city of Agadi.
As the afternoon sun shone, Ahao received several customers one after another, but all of them just left after a brief taste.
There are still very few customers like Mrs. Fu. After all, the perfumes in Zu Nana's store are valuable, and one bottle can be worth more than half a month's income of an ordinary person.
Ah Hao raised his head and glanced at the pendulum clock hanging on the wall. It was almost five o'clock.
Usually the store manager will show up at this point to take stock of sales and close the door on time at 6 o'clock, but today the store manager will not come.
He went to the headquarters for a meeting. It was rumored that the headquarters would soon release a blockbuster new perfume. It was estimated that there would be a huge battle by then.
Then, have a good time at work today!
I guess the store manager can't blame myself, after all, 5 bottles of perfume were sold today!
Moreover, Ahao also feels that it is time to plan to release his own [new product]!
The work in the perfume store is actually very painful, and you often have to stand for the whole day.
I also have to deal with unreasonable customers from time to time.
He has always dreamed of the day when he can be the boss,
And that day may be today!
Because he made his own perfume!
Ahao has been secretly using the store's equipment to make perfume recently.
——Yes, there is even a small perfume mixing room behind this store, which was once open.
Specifically introduce to customers the preparation process of Zunana perfume. Let customers experience the feeling of "transparency" and "peace of mind". Anyway, as long as the customer is willing to pay, anything can be said.
However, due to "safety incidents" in other branches, this place is also closed to the public.
This small mixing room has become Ahao's perfume production "den".
Ahao excitedly turned the [Opening] sign at the door of the store into [Closing].
Then he ran to the mixing room at the back, which was used as a warehouse, and pulled out a rattan box from a hidden corner.
Opening the door of the box, there were several rectangular glass bottles lying inside.
He took out a glass bottle and shook it for a while. The velvety silver-white sand in the bottle slowly flowed in the transparent liquid, looking holy and elegant.
“It looks great!”
Ahao was so excited that he wanted to kiss the bottle.
What is in the glass bottle is Ah Hao’s new product. This is the first bottle of perfume he has officially mixed, and it is temporarily named [Pina Colada].
In fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is the first bottle, but Ah Hao does not want to admit that those previous strange-smelling or "copied" experimental products of big-name perfumes are his own creations.
But this bottle of [Pina Colada] is different. It is completely original and can satisfy his nose. It was inspired by a lady who just returned from a vacation on the sunny beach.
Ah Hao still remembers the moment she pushed the door open and was greeted by the smell of the sun, the smell of the moist sea and the smell of fresh coconut water. All the smells were clear and clean. It was as if she was still on vacation at the beach in the morning, and in the afternoon
It's like returning to Agadi.
After that, he devoted himself to replicating this taste, bought a lot of expensive raw materials and adjusted them, and also spent a lot of money on some "goods" on the black market, and finally produced these bottles of successful samples.
If it cannot be sold, it will be a huge loss. After all, Ah Hao’s savings of more than half a year will be lost in it.
Thinking of this, Ahao felt a little worried about gains and losses, and was deeply worried about whether his perfume works would be popular in the market.
Although he knows that he has a good nose, he also knows that this does not mean that the perfume he makes must smell "good".
In fact, this unusual sense of smell may be a burden. What smells good to you may smell bad to others?
In this worry, he added ingredients to the perfume a few days ago.
It's those fine sands that swirl like nebulae - mica powder.
Mica is actually a very cheap and common stone that can be found in souvenir shops everywhere in Agadi.
I bought some mica that was not in good quality at the cheapest store, and finely ground it into powder and added it to the perfume bottle. The cost was not high, but the actual effect was quite good, adding a lot of points to the appearance of the perfume bottle.
Ah Hao, who has been working in Zunana's store for half a year, knows very well that even if you put unpleasant-smelling perfumes in beautiful bottles, there will always be some ignorant ladies who will buy them home.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to buy good-looking bottles. What can be bought are usually obsolete or used empty perfume bottles, so Ah Hao can only find another way.
Among many attempts, mica powder is the most successful, and the effect is much better than cheap dyes.
Time waits for no one, and we have to deliver goods at night.
Ahao packaged two bottles of the new product with materials from the store to make it look more like what it was.
Satisfied, he put the packaging box into his backpack. He quickly took off his work clothes, locked the store door, and was ready to go!
The goal is to find a businessman who knows the goods!
A bearded face and his generous smile flashed in Ahao's mind.
He helped Ah Hao solve many problems with raw materials, and he is a reliable guy.
Um, but there is a question. Can a person like him understand perfume?
