"Look, the shopkeeper Li is down."
The crowd didn't know who shouted, and the eyes of everyone inside and outside the house were in the direction of the stairs on the second floor.
There, Li Defu, the big shopkeeper of Tianxiang Building, who hadn't shown up all morning, slowly walked down from the upstairs.
Some people say that the shopkeeper Li drank too much, and only agreed to the foreigner's competition with the strength of the wine, but after waking up, he was frightened and hid and did not dare to show his face, after all, those foreigners could not even be provoked by the Queen Mother Lafayette, even if the shopkeeper Li had the support of the eunuch and the chief manager Li Gonggong, it was useless.
No matter how powerful Father-in-law Li is, he is even more powerful than the Queen Mother Lafayette But now, when I saw the shopkeeper Li Da smiling and going downstairs with steady steps, he was full of confidence at a glance, and the rumors were self-defeating.
"The shopkeeper Li has the courage to compete with foreigners, and you can be regarded as winning glory for our Qing Dynasty.
Today, whether you win or lose, just for this point, my Wang San'er admires Li Da's shopkeeper, and if anyone can't get along with Li Da's shopkeeper in the future, that is, I can't get along with my Wang San'er. ” "Yes, Li Da's shopkeeper pure masters, iron-blooded real men, we support you."
"Give the foreigners some color to see."
The people who came to see the excitement kept shouting loudly, the Qing Kingdom has received a lot of anger on foreigners over the years, and they all broke out at this moment, even if it is just a competition of gadgets such as perfume, they also hope to win the foreigners.
After all, in these years, even the Queen Mother Lafayette didn't dare to provoke the foreigners, and dared to compete with the foreigners, which was naturally a great thing.
Li Defu hugged his fists and arched to the old and young masters present, at this time, he changed the frightened bear like before, held his chest up, raised his head, took a figure-eight step under his feet, full of posture, and kept saying in his mouth, "Thank you for your support, thank you for your support."
The crowd in the house automatically divided into two rows to make way for Li Defu.
"Everyone, I, Li Defu, have been waiting here for a long time."
Li Defu looked at the foreigners present and said, according to his father's explanation, he politely arched his hand.
"Shopkeeper Li, you have so many people here, how can we compare" Foreigner William looked at the room full of people and asked Li Defu.
"Mr.
William, the house is small, let's compare outside, how" Li Defu asked, Dad ordered, not only to win today, but also to win beautifully, of course he hopes that more people can see it.
"No, it's too cold outside, and the wind will blow the smell of perfume away."
William shook his head and disagreed.
"There are so many foreigners."
"Yes, it's windy, don't you just sit downwind," the people around him discussed.
Li Defu stretched out his hand and slapped it twice, and said loudly to the onlookers, "Since foreigners want to compare in the house, then let's compare in the house, so that they can know what the state of etiquette is."
Ladies and gentlemen, please go out and give up an open space, how can you win the foreigners and have nothing to say. ” "What the shopkeeper Li said is right, everyone retreats outside, and the foreigners in the province lose, blaming our northwest wind."
"Hah" Hahahaha In the end, in the face of foreigners, the same hatred and hatred, the people who watched the excitement in the house, very consciously walked out, and after a while, the originally overcrowded house was only left with the people of Tianxianglou and the dozen foreigners.
"Mr.
William, now you can start the competition," Li Defu said proudly as he looked at the foreigner.
In the past, although he was rich, not many people could afford him, but I didn't expect everyone present today to really give him face and make him majestic in front of foreigners.
What is called a hundred responses, this is called a hundred responses.
"Yes."
Bang bang bang Li Defu clapped his hands again, and the guys in the store took out the tables, chairs and benches prepared in advance from the backyard and placed them in the house.
"Five of our judges have already arrived."
William pointed behind him, and a foreigner walked out, including a man and a woman, and sat directly on the chair, "I don't know who the judges of your Tianxiang Building are" "I have already chosen."
After Li Defu finished speaking, he shouted loudly at the back door, "Please ladies and gentlemen." ” Qiang Qiang Qiang Knock knock The backyard suddenly remembered the sound of gongs and drums, as if someone was moving a happy event, and as soon as the men opened the door curtain, they saw several noble ladies dressed in brocade coming out under the service of the maid.
"Isn't that Mrs.
Liu, wow, Mrs.
Zhao is also there, and Mrs.
Li" Seeing a few ladies who appeared, the people watching outside the door suddenly exploded, these ladies are not only young and beautiful, but also from powerful families, each of them is a person with a head and a face in the capital, Li Da shopkeeper actually invited five ladies to be judges, this is too good, but the perfume competition, let these well-informed, knowledgeable ladies be judges, it is very suitable.
If you call a few Hanako from the street, the steamed bun smell is probably better than the perfume smell.
The five ladies sat beside the foreigners, lined up, sitting upright, elegant manners, full of luxury, not weaker than the foreigners on the side.
"Okay, the ten judges are seated, can we start the competition now?"
asked Li Defu as he looked at William.
William nodded, then took a glass bottle from the female companion behind him and displayed it in front of everyone, "This is the best perfume in our British Empire, and the best perfume in the world, Anna, she symbolizes purity and nobility."
Shopkeeper Li, do you still use flower water?"
finished speaking, with a contemptuous expression.
"To deal with your British Empire's perfume, why do we need our powerful toilet water, wouldn't it be overkill" Li Defu also took out a glass bottle, and after showing it to the onlookers, he said to William, "This is our Tianxianglou's perfume, I used to disdain to sell these monotonous things, today in order to compare with you, I will take out a bottle, let Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
William know, our Tianxianglou never speaks." ” Hey William and the other foreigners looked curiously at the perfume in Li Defu's hand, and the bottle seemed to be more delicate and high-end than theirs.
"Let's get started."
Li Defu said that he was very satisfied with the reaction of the foreigners, whether he won or lost, he must first shock them in momentum.
"Wait."
William said suddenly, "Let me talk about the rules of the competition, first of all, our perfume colors are different, for the sake of fairness, we need to blindfold the ten judges, and spray the perfume on their left and right hands separately to make sure they can't see anything, and each judge has a chopstick, which smell you like, and you can hold the chopsticks in which hand."
Secondly, the judges cannot speak, and the perfume needs to be exchanged from time to time.
Third, we need to have one person from each other, see each other whether there is any hint and other cheating phenomena, and once discovered, we will be dealt with as losers.
How about it, do you promise?"
"No problem, our Qing Dynasty is a country of etiquette, for the sake of fairness, we will do whatever you say.
What tricks are there, even if you use them, our Tianxianglou relies on strength.
Li Defu said with confidence.
"Okay, let's get started."
The guys from Tianxianglou bought a piece of satin from a nearby silk village, cut it into ten strips of cloth with scissors, tied them to the eyes of the ten judges, and then shook their hands in front of their eyes a few times.
One person from each side, holding their own perfume, stands in front of the first judge, and sprays perfume on the judge's left and right hands.
And Li Defu and William are personally responsible for monitoring each other for cheating.
Hundreds of people gathered inside and outside Tianxiang Building, but the room was quiet, even on the street outside, everyone held their breath, nervously watching the process of the competition, waiting for the results of the competition.
The first judge was Mrs.
Liu, who smelled the fragrance on the palms of her two hands, tasted it carefully, and then held the chopsticks in her right hand. right hand "It's Tianxiang Building" Someone outside the door shouted softly, but quickly covered his mouth tightly with his hand, for fear of disturbing the competition in the house.
Li Defu was very proud when he saw it, took out the chopsticks from Mrs.
Liu's hand, and held them in his own hand.
