The rich man and the poor man

Twelve past midnight.

Pei Zhen couldn't stay up all night, and had already fallen asleep.Han Fu promised to go to accompany him for a while, but the time passed by every minute, and he was still sitting in front of the incense mixing table in a daze.

An hour ago, he was stuck in a cycle of failure.

Pei Zhen comforted him: "Do it well. When the distillation is successful, we will take half a day off and hang out together."

"Go wherever you say, I will accompany you."

Han Fu was stunned immediately.

Pei Zhen was also taken aback for a moment, a little uncomfortable, always felt as if he had made a mistake...

Isn't the relationship between them an employment relationship between the funder and the duck?For employees, what reward is it to "play" with the boss outside of working hours?

It's obviously working overtime, so it's a punishment, right?

"It's wrong... It means that if the distillation is successful, you will be given bonuses and achievements, and you will be allowed to hang out by yourself during the holiday!!"

Han Fu: "..."

It's really interesting, it can be said that I am very happy to watch it.It's been a long time since I saw Zhen Zhen panicked, ashamed and angry.

I couldn't help watching him in silence for a while, then shook my head and said, "Zhenzhen~ I don't want a bonus, I want you to take me out on a date."

Pei Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at him with gratitude: "Then you choose a place, a suburban hot spring villa, or a nearby island. There is no upper limit, private beaches, luxury cruise ships are all available, you can choose whatever you want!"

After finishing speaking in one breath, he still had an awkward expression of "I really wronged you, I can only try to take you to a very expensive place".

Cute, dull, and distressed.

Han Fu shook the test tube, thinking to himself, when will he understand...

No no, I shook my head.Don't rush, be patient.Anyway, I have been bullying him every day, and if anyone can take him away, I will definitely be able to take him home one day.

"Uh……"

His thoughts were interrupted because the liquid in the test tube in his hand...precipitated again!

Go crazy.

It's almost one o'clock in the morning!Distillation has never been successful, let alone dating the island, how long will it take to sleep if this continues?How can I explain to Zhenzhen tomorrow during the day!

After more than 100 days, the official competition will begin!

But until now he can't even master the most basic distillation skills. This is no longer a solution to the problem by drinking all the terrible products in front of him!

He sighed silently, and wanted to look up the problem again in the book.He stretched out his hand, but unexpectedly picked up the book that was under the textbook.

"..." Han Fu also knew that this was wrong.

Only less than four months, of course, should be boring to read professional textbooks every day.And books like "History of Fragrance"... this kind of pastime like a collection of stories, of course, I will read it later when I have time?

However, the more you should not escape from reality, the more you can't stop once you open this kind of story collection.

In a thick hardcover hardcover book, the various lives of perfumers are recorded.

There was a legendary baron who had been extremely prolific throughout his life, creating countless intense, rich and individual perfume creations.

Hanging out with noble ladies in the upper class and prostitutes in the back alleys of Paris all day long, he lived a life of bohemian and glamorous beauty, and even before he died, he was still muttering-"I have lived a very wonderful life without regrets ".

But there is also a peerless good man who keeps a low profile all his life and only makes more than a dozen perfumes, but each of them has become a classic.Loving family, loving wife and children, privately blended the fragrance of love for his wife, which has become an immortal legend and has been passed down to this day.

There are aristocrats from a family of perfumers who are striving for excellence, and there are strong women who have come out of the civilian areas.

Some people pursue rich and fragrant luxury, while others pursue minimalist elegance and freshness.Some love roses, some like citrus, and some are specially formulated with tea fragrance.Some people have made ocean systems, ice water systems, forest systems, woody systems...

Some people care more about the meaning of flower language than fragrance.White roses symbolize purity, daisies represent tenacity, lilies of the valley represent luck, and cherry blossoms represent the cycle of life.The design concept of the perfumer is always imaginative, "Byzantium", "Dragon and Knight", "Mechanical Devil", "Kiss of Death", "Rose Graveyard"... There are many strange and incomprehensible themes.

There are also rivalries, open and secret struggles, close friends, and incompatible enemies.

Interspersed with the flying gunfire of the world war, the split and complete world, countless love and blood and tears hidden behind.

……

Condensed in this thick book, it is a strange, flashy and luxurious world.

Han Fu always felt as if... he saw the rabbit hole of Alice again.

Once upon a time, he was an arrogant, ignorant little bastard, until he was woken up with a slap, and his worldview shattered.

The rabbit hole was opened for the first time, Kaz Kaz—it seemed that a part had been lost in the depths of the heart, and it seemed that the gears that had been stuck for many years were slowly loosening.

Push away the clouds and mists, and suddenly see the light.

"It's so boring~" I still remember that day, when Liszt stood under the glare from the stained glass, he sighed with a sad face.Han Fu looked at him, as if seeing himself many years ago.

Envious, but also quite sympathetic.

I envy Liszt for maintaining such a defiant and carefree attitude, but I sympathize with...he seems to have not found such a thing or such a person.

But one day, something or someone will suddenly break into his life and smash his self-righteous self-confidence.Taking root and sprouting in his world, the seductive atmosphere and gorgeous colors will be bred wantonly, and the world will be fragrant and unbelievable from then on.

He will lose his fluffy wings from now on.

While being contaminated with dust, you will also gain unimaginable desire and courage.Know what it's like to toss and turn, and at the same time be excited every day.

……

The hour hand slowly turned around again.

It was a bit cold in the middle of the night, but fortunately there was still a coat of Pei Zhen hanging on the back of the chair behind him, which he specially gave him to wear last night.On it faintly, there is still Pei Zhen's favorite fragrance.

Lesétoiles classic, Ink love ink.

The top note is a stunning but ephemeral ink fragrance, mixed with smoky Haitian vetiver, dark and mysterious patchouli, resinous, white musk aftertaste, and remnants of lush forest, The breath of twilight and rain fully expresses the mature and melancholy temperament of a mature man.

This fragrance is most suitable for men with stories.

Therefore, it is really suitable for Pei Zhen.

In the dark early morning, I could not extricate myself from the smell of the coat.After being silent for a while, he suddenly raised his head, with a strange gleam in his eyes.

Suddenly I am not depressed or tired.

……

He is obviously a fool who can't even distill the most basic distillation, but at this moment, he suddenly fell into a very crazy idea——

Han Fu felt that he should be able to try to reproduce this Ink.

It doesn't matter if there is no recipe list, he can accurately deconstruct it just by smell.There's no reason why he couldn't comprehend it, this kind of breath that he couldn't resist from the first day of meeting, he was very familiar even with his eyes closed.

Distillation never worked, and it didn't matter.

Didn't Zhenzhen teach them all just now?Pay attention to the container wall, pay attention to the fire, and pay attention to the change of aroma every minute!He is clumsy and can't make other fragrances, but it's not impossible to make the smell that makes him dream and itch every night!

The essential oil drips into the alcohol, rippling small ripples.

The musk was crushed, and step by step, Han Fu seemed to understand the meaning of every word Pei Zhen had said to him.

[Think about the things you feel happy about, the things you will never forget, and all the things you regret and regret. 】

【Think about them and integrate all happiness, joy, pain and desire into your works. 】

...How much love and devotion is required to say such a thing?

It is because of how much love and how much persistence we can endure that we have suffered so much injustice and pain and still have not changed our original intentions.

But maybe, because that person has always been so tenacious and stubborn, he also likes him so much...

【Perfume is not an exact science. 】

【What you are looking for is not at your fingertips, but in your heart. 】

The blue flame of the alcohol lamp is flickering.

All kinds of liquids that would have settled at this step are now flowing happily in the test tube in an orderly manner.

All the places that have failed again and again, and no BUG has happened-is it not science?Essential oils, test tubes, glass bottles, every touch of compatible or incompatible strong scents, at this moment, are intertwined and fermented into metaphysics that cannot be explained by common sense, and can even be said to be delicate and gorgeous strange methods.

Suddenly, those raw materials, those breaths are no longer uncontrollable and uncapturable.

They all stayed quietly in his small bottle, obediently listened to his words, and did not settle down casually or run around.

Can't go anywhere.

The more he develops and adjusts, the closer he is to the ideal taste he expected, and all the passing time and space seem to stand still.

And only he himself is frantically crushing and kneading.It's like a stupid rabbit gritted his teeth and finally jumped down the rabbit hole, glimpsed the scenery that was once unattainable, and was fascinated.

"Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen."

In the early morning of the next day, Pei Zhen was shaken awake from his sleep, and what he saw was a pair of red eyes that hadn't slept all night.

"you……"

"I made it successfully." The little wolf dog was a little excited, breathing unsteadily, "Although it was still a little bit short, I made it! It's very similar!"

Pei Zhen was stunned.

In Han Fu's hand was a small glass bottle of clear liquid.Without any impurities, it is a 100% successful replica.

The fragrance of ink, tobacco... full of familiar aromas permeated the air.

That's Ink from Lesétoiles, which can almost be faked.

The little stupid claw, who couldn't even distill it well, managed to reproduce it after staying up all night, and achieved a small miracle perfectly.

The author has something to say: Han Fu: Claws don’t cry, truelove works wonders!

Pei Zhen: ... Huahua is so annoying. wxya
