Chapter 224
Gu Junqing was too lazy to care about these small details and pushed Gu Jiyan's back to the back hall to rest.
Let Xue Ben handle the front yard matters alone. The two of them can hardly be of any help if they stay there, and might even cause more trouble. It would be better for them to just leave.
Xue Ben saw the two people leaving from his peripheral vision, and a smile appeared on his face. He then walked up to the two people in front of him and asked:
"My two guests, do you need anything?"
Hearing someone asking, the woman turned around and looked at the man in front of her. Knowing that he was the owner of the newly opened shop, the woman smiled and looked up at the man who was still staring at the bottles and jars. She said in a clear voice with a smile, "The incense in our shop is very different from the incense in other places. I can seem to smell the floral scent from the shop next door. My husband loves incense and can smell it from a distance. I came here out of curiosity to take a look. If possible, I will buy some to try at home to see if it works."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the man who was still staring at the bottle turned around, holding the bottle on the second layer of the cabinet in one hand and pointing at it with his other hand. He looked at Xue Ben with curiosity and doubt, and asked curiously: "Is this bottle filled with incense? Why is it different from the others? How to use it?"
Seeing that he was throwing a series of questions at him, seemingly a little anxious, Xue Ben laughed out loud with some amusement, and then told him in a gentle voice not to be anxious and that he would explain it to him slowly.
Then he casually took out a can and unscrewed the cap. The man standing only a few steps away from Xue Ben could smell the faint fragrance floating in the air, which was elegant and leisurely, and not at all overly sweet or smoky compared to ordinary incense. Instead, it made the smeller feel relaxed and happy, and his mind began to be inexplicably happy.
The specific method of use is to drop a drop of perfume from the bottle on the place where you want to drop it, and the smell will not dissipate throughout the day. It can be said to be very practical and convenient.
Generally, incense requires a smoker and the smoke from the smoker needs to be dealt with regularly, which seems really troublesome. The incense sold in Xue Ben's shop is much better than ordinary incense.
The man watched Xue Ben's series of actions, his eyes instantly lit up with surprise, and then he looked at his wife standing beside him with excitement, and suggested: "Ah Man, why don't we buy a few more bottles to take back?"
The woman, who the man called Ah Man, heard this and smiled helplessly. She couldn't hide the tenderness in her eyes and coaxed, "Okay, okay, buy a few more bottles, you can choose for yourself."
Xue Ben looked at the scene in front of him with a bit of surprise in his eyes. When he saw the woman raised her eyebrows and looked over, he smiled kindly and praised: "The relationship between the two of you is really good. It's really rare in the world. It makes people really envious."
The woman laughed, her heroic eyes softened, and her voice sounded even more cheerful. She first thanked him, and then, while the man was still choosing at the counter, she couldn't help but chat with Xue Ben about the story of how they met, fell in love, and stayed together. The woman didn't go into much detail, but just gave a simple summary. Xue Ben couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy when he heard it.
The two of them were not a good match. In order to marry the man she loved, the woman worked hard to improve herself. She became the owner of a restaurant and opened many teahouses and taverns. Although she was not the richest person, her family background was barely equal to the man's.
The man's family all came from a merchant family. Merchants value profit, and seeing the woman's success today, they naturally agreed to the marriage between the two.
It's just that when the woman was working hard, the man also left the family and went out to work hard, and he achieved more than the woman. The two worked hard for each other for two and a half years, and they worked so hard for each other.
It was the first time that Xue Ben heard a true love story in which both parties risked their lives for each other, and he felt a little emotional.
The man over there had already selected a few bottles of incense he liked, and walked up to the two of them holding the incense. He looked at the woman with sparkling eyes and said with a smile, "Madam, that's all."
The woman smiled and nodded, then took a few bottles and smelled them. A fresh jasmine scent filled her nose.
She took it in her hand, looked at Xue Ben, and said, "That's all. Please pack it up. How much does it cost?"
Xue Ben looked at the incense in the man's hand, thinking about the activity he had just thought of not long ago, and smiled as he told the two people in front of him the content of the activity.
The woman heard such an idea for the first time, and after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but praise Xue Ben with approval. The man was not thinking about incense, but listened to Xue Ben's words and praised him along with the woman.
Xue Ben smiled somewhat embarrassedly, told them how much money they needed to pay, and then packed up the incense to prevent them from being accidentally bumped and damaged on the road.
When he was about to leave, the man seemed to think of something. He turned around and looked at Xue Ben, who was about to clean up the table. His eyes flickered and he said with a smile:
"The store's incense is unique, I like it very much. Of course, I will share good things with my neighbors, which can be regarded as taking care of the store's business."
Xue Ben was stunned, then he smiled gratefully and said thank you.
After the two men walked away, Xue Ben turned his attention to the account book on the table. This was where the business order was recorded. Overall, it was a good start, which was not bad.
After putting the account book away, Xue Ben turned around and looked at Gu Junqing and Gu Jiyan, who had been standing behind him for who knows how long. He curved his eyebrows and said optimistically with a somewhat happy tone, "Thinking about it carefully, this is actually a good start."
Gu Junqing came out just one second after the couple left. Seeing that a few bottles of incense were missing from the counter which was originally full of items, he felt happy for Xue Ben from the bottom of his heart.
She walked forward, thought of something, and asked, "By the way, I haven't had time to ask you, how did Master Xue make this incense?"
As she said this, Gu Jiyan followed her, and then the three of them came to the same table again and formed a circle.
Xue Ben didn't expect Gu Junqing to ask this question. He thought Gu Jiyan had told Gu Junqing the origin of his incense making. Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Gu Jiyan.
Gu Jiyan raised his eyebrows, as if asking him what he was looking at.
