Chapter 20 Morning in the Forest (2)
After Zuo Zai came back from France, something happened that almost made Cheng Fengchun burst into tears. As soon as the girl came back, she ran to the spice showroom to sing all kinds of things, saying that she wanted to make out the smell that the Lyon Forest smelled in the early morning. This made Cheng Fengchun, who was originally worried that she had not been able to discover Zuo Zai's interest in scenting in Glass, saw the dawn of hope again.
Zuo no longer has the kind of assistant perfumers who are trying hard to create their own fragrance. She can only restore the smell she smells. Moreover, the smell she is interested in restoring is usually not too fragrant.
What Zuo can never forget is always the taste of nature and life.
However, the process of smelling the morning smell of the forest this time was not as smooth as before.
When I made cat shit candles, at first, Xiaonai deliberately teased her with smelly spices. The spices added together, which were already very similar to the cat shit. Later, she added several spices with a little fishy smell. She didn't even read the name of the spice before, and she made it without any effort.
The basic skill of spice sniffing is the one that Zuo Zai mastered when he was "working" to organize the spice showroom last month. Moreover, the cat shit smell made by Zuo Zai only has the same "ordinary nose" as the previous cat shit. "Professional nose", such as Cheng Fengchun, can smell some small differences.
Because of her extraordinary ability to sniff the spices, Zuo Zai has already remembered the smell of thousands of spices in Cheng Fengchun's showroom. So after she came back, she quickly liberated the fresh and natural air in the showroom. Zuo Zai made the prepared spices into candles and lit them. Although it was indeed good, it was more like the morning in the yard of her hometown, rather than in the forest.
For perfumers, spices are prepared and just put them there to smell. There is no need to make candles at any time. Many spices will change their taste after burning. But there is no way, who has let Zuo grow up in a candle factory since childhood? Her skill in making candles seems to be innate. When other children learn to wear clothes by themselves, she learns to make candles by themselves.
Zuo Zai devoted himself to studying in the showroom for two months. The fragrance she made was very close to the smell she smelled in the Normandy forest at that time. Even Cheng Fengchun's "professional nose" thought so. It was not a smell full of fragrance, but the person who smelled it really felt like breathing the fresh air of nature.
Zuo Zai always felt something was wrong. She was still not satisfied with the current smell and felt that it was different from what she smelled at that time.
When Zuo Zai was in the showroom for a month and a half, Cheng Fengchun had already let Cheng Lie follow Zuo Zai. Although Zuo Zai had a great memory and could remember what spices she added every time, as an unprofessional perfumer, the amount of each spice used depends entirely on the feel. This is why, the two cat shit candles she made at the beginning had slight differences in the taste.
If Zuo continues to follow the feeling like this, even if she makes the taste of Lyon Forest, there will be no second candle with the same taste. So what Cheng Fengchun asked Cheng Lie to do is to be an assistant measuring staff.
Cheng Lie, a top student at Yale University, was actually arranged by his father to be an assistant to the perfumer. Strangely, he was still a little happy. Zuo Zai didn't realize that the undersea tunnel was that he had blamed Cheng Lie for wrongly. Based on the principle of not paying attention to deceiving himself and laughing, Zuo Zai didn't talk to Cheng Lie when he had to communicate with Cheng Lie, and he used his eyes.
Zuo Zai has a pair of particularly clear eyes, and he always looks at the person who talks to him with a clear look. In the past few days, Zuo Zai's eyes when he looks at Cheng Lie have become very exciting. It is so exciting that Cheng Lie often can't help but want to laugh, and he finally understands what "talking eyes" means.
Cheng Lie knew very well that the reason why Zuo Zai ignored him was because he couldn't help laughing last time in the underwater tunnel. Cheng Lie wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh out loud. Although he was a little hard-working, he was still in a very happy mood.
Cheng Lie quickly understood the "current meaning" of Zuo Zai's various eyes. For example, when the corners of his mouth and his eyes were glanced in the same direction, he said to him with a little smugness: "That's right, do you know?" For example, if you widen your eyes, your eyes slightly turned upwards, and pouted your mouth a little, just saying, "It's not going to be done yet, wait a moment." Of course, there are also classic eyes rolling their eyes to the upper left from time to time, and their nostrils slightly open, just emphasizing to Cheng Lie: "I don't want to talk to you."
Cheng Fengchun's family has not lived in a little girl. His wife gave birth to two sons and his wife gave birth to a boy. So Cheng Lie thought the little girl was so fun now. If he got married in the future, he would have to have a girl. Thinking of this, Cheng Lie was stunned for a while and shook his head quickly. Why did he think about the gender of giving birth to a child?
Speaking of which, Cheng Lie is mostly free. For two months, Zuo Zai didn't do more every day, so he kept the rhythm of a candle a day. Therefore, Cheng Lie only needs to do the measurement work once a day. But Zuo Zai added and subtracted a little from time to time, and often changed spices, which led to Cheng Lie doing useless work many times.
In fact, Cheng Lie was always puzzled about something. The smells produced by Zuo Zai clearly had nothing to do with the smells smelled in the forest, and they were not considered similar. However, after Zuo Zai made it into a candle and lit it, the smell came out. When Zuo Zai reached the 60th root, Cheng Fengchun was already quite satisfied with Zuo Zai's "work" and asked Zuo Zai to quickly choose a name. Except Zuo Zai, everyone was very satisfied.
Zuo Zai always felt that there was something wrong with the taste, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so she didn't think about what name she was. Cheng Fengchun asked her to choose, but she had no idea how to use it. She hadn't worked hard and had a simple and rough morning-forest. When Cheng Fengchun heard it, she translated it as the morning of the forest. This name is pretty good and can be used.
Because Zuo Zai made different candles each time, Cheng Lie, the "measurement officer", became a monk halfway through. Cheng Fengchun took the recipe that Cheng Lie measured that day and made it again. Fortunately, his son did not make mistakes at a critical moment this time. Because Zuo Zai's recipe can only make people feel the breath of the forest, Cheng Fengchun called Zuo Jianshe to ask for cooperation.
Zuo Zai's formula was produced, Cheng Fengchun produced spices, Zuo Jianshe was responsible for mass production of candles, and the export and sales issues were handled by Cheng Fengchun, with a profit of 73 cents. Zuo's family occupies three floors. In addition to Zuo Zai's formula, Zuo Jianshe actually has to do a job of OEM. OEM can get a profit of three floors, which is simply a sky-high price. The main reason why this sky-high price is that this formula is Zuo Zai's.
But then again, Zuo Zai used the spices from Cheng Fengchun. The one who recorded the recipe was Cheng Lie, who had excellent understanding ability. Even if Cheng Fengchun talked about cooperation with Zuo Jianshe, it was a thing of the past. Zuo Jianshe didn't understand these things, and he still had never done any exports. He agreed readily, otherwise he would not agree with Zuo Jianshe's personality who was afraid of taking advantage of others.
The business here was negotiated, so Cheng Fengchun mentioned it with Zuo Zai. After hearing this, Zuo Zai immediately objected. Cheng Fengchun thought that Zuo Zai's child didn't understand that he had already given a sky-high contract. Just as he was about to explain, Zuo Zai spoke first: "It's not possible now, the taste is not right."
Although Cheng Fengchun is not a perfume cook, his nose is still very professional as an incense critic. The taste he recognizes generally will not make any mistakes. After understanding the reason why Zuo opposes, he feels that the problem is easy to solve:
"I don't think there is any problem with this taste, so I will produce a batch of trial sales according to this recipe. If you think the taste is wrong, then think about how to adjust it. After the adjustment, let's see which one is better."
The trial sale candles were produced soon. It was said that domestic candles were difficult to enter the US market because they were considered dumped, but they were actually the same in Europe. But the dumping targeted ordinary candles at low prices. Anyway, it was just a matter of paying more taxes. Cheng Fengchun's positioning of "Forest Morning" was to take the high-end route, so he was not worried that it would be considered dumping.
Through the powerful sales network accumulated by Cheng Fengchun over the years of spice business, "Forest Morning" quickly gained a place in the high-end candle markets in the United States and Europe.
The matter of adjusting the taste again has not progressed. She didn't know what was wrong. She recalled the smell she smelled and the scene she saw in the forest of Lyon over and over again.
Zuo Zai's admission time is September, and it is still winter now, so she has a lot of time to think about it slowly.
Zuo sniffed all the spices in the showroom several times, but he couldn't find a scent that could inspire her. In the end, she dropped the can in the showroom and lit her original prank masterpiece - Cat Shit Candle.
As soon as the stinking came, Zuo Zai suddenly thought that that morning, in the forest of Lyon, the wild boar that had stolen the barbecue they had fallen, seemed to be eating and pooping.
"That's right! This must be the taste that is missing!" Zuo Zai felt enlightened and suddenly enlightened.
After finding the reason, Zuo Ai-swooshed and ran to Cheng Fengchun's study to report his major discovery to him. Cheng Fengchun could only use it as a joke after hearing it and shook his head helplessly. No matter what the Zuo is, he loves animals too deeply.
On the other hand, Zuo Zai was not joking at all. In addition to adding the smell of a wild boar poop in the distance, she also prepared to make a little bit of leftover barbecue smell. Then the new version of Forest Morning was born so gorgeously. Zuo Zai couldn't wait to give it to Cheng Fengchun and let him light a candle to smell it.
Cheng Fengchun took the candle and said yes with a smile. But he just couldn't take it, and it would be enough to smell it once. Cheng Fengchun really didn't expect it. Zuo didn't care anymore, and when he saw Cheng Fengchun accept it, he left happily.
Zuo Zai was quite satisfied with his final work. When he returned to the showroom, he saw that he had just prepared the "added ingredients" and had a lot left in Forest Morning, so he decided not to waste it and use these spices to make a tiger candle as Huo Feng's birthday gift next year.
Speaking of which, Zuo Zai was a little successful in perfume at this time, but her artistic cells were not increased. Or the foundation in this area was too poor, and no matter how much it increased, it would not increase significantly.
Zuo Zai made a tiger candle, looking horizontally and vertically, left and right, except for the word "ugly", he could not tell what it was. Zuo Zai was unwilling to give up and made one very seriously. As a result, although it looked completely different from the original one, it was equal to the ugly one, and it was equally ugly. Even Zuo Zai couldn't tell what he was doing.
There was no way, Zuo Ai used tweezers to make a tiger head, but she didn't know what she had done wrong, so she wrote the word "Wang" in a twist.
When Xiaonai saw Zuo made two candles, he asked her for one. No matter what others thought, Xiaonai was definitely 200% supportive of the candle. Even if he gave a cat shit candle, he would be happy for a long time.
