Chapter 1652 Sorry, You Know the Rules
The evening wind blew through the shadowy shadows of the trees in Ditan Park, forming patches of fine, dazzling light spots on the ground.
A Shanghai sedan sat quietly parked beside a quiet park path. Its engine had long been shut off, and even the engine compartment was cold.
The evening breeze is gentle, and it seems that even the wild cats are unwilling to disturb the tranquility here.
When Li Xiangnan woke up in the car, he looked through the window at the engine compartment.
Song Yi's floral-patterned shirt fluttered in the wind, her long black hair flying behind her head. Light shone through her hair, as if giving her a layer of golden edge, further highlighting the beauty and tranquility of time.
She leaned her hands on the hood of the car, her round buttocks bent in an arc, and her faintly visible little clothes brought a lot of indescribable charm in the tranquility.
Li Xiangnan watched openly for a while, without feeling like a hooligan or ashamed.
But the flowers were in full bloom, and if he didn't know how to appreciate them, he would be somewhat unromantic.
It wasn't until he heard his stomach growling that he came to his senses and realized he hadn't eaten for a long time.
He reached out and knocked on the car door. "Where are we?"
The two turned around, the brother and sister looked at each other, jumped out of the front of the car, and trotted, one opening the driver's seat and the other opening the passenger seat.
"Ditan Park!" Song Yi's voice was filled with joy. "You slept here all day... I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you later!"
"one day?"
Li Xiangnan looked outside. The setting sun was indeed beginning to descend above the treetops. Everything was bathed in golden color. The chirping of cicadas in the woods mixed with the noise of birds returning to their nests. Everything was telling of the meaning of returning home late.
"Your medicine is quite effective!" He laughed out loud.
"I already said I'd compensate you!" Song Yi's face turned slightly red.
Li Xiangnan shook his head. "Let's go directly to the private custom shop you mentioned! Is there enough time?"
"Brother Nan, I called and told her that my sister is going there! She's waiting for us, so she won't be a problem!" Song Zimo looked over in the rearview mirror.
Song Yi gestured forward, "Then let's go to Quanjude first. I'll treat you to roast duck. You must be hungry! By the way, I'll show you around!"
Half an hour later, Li Xiangnan was eating roast duck at Quanjude.
Everyone sat at tables facing the street. It was just before dinner time and the street was bustling with activity.
"Look, the store is right over there!" Song Yi sliced a few pieces of roast duck for Li Xiangnan and put them directly on his plate.
Song Zimo stretched his head and waited for a long time, but found that it was not for him. He kept sighing and saying nonsense like the baby has grown up, it will rain and his mother will get married.
Li Xiangnan handed over the roast duck and divided it into two pieces for Song Zimo.
"Brother Nan, you still love me!" Song Zimo was almost crying. He chewed and said, "Unlike some people, who are so ungrateful. I'll tell mom when I get home... wuwuwu!"
"Eating can't shut you up!" Song Yi stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and glared at him fiercely, her face already slightly red.
Li Xiangnan took a sip of tea and looked in the direction Song Yi said with a smile.
A few young people dressed in fashionable clothes, carrying dual-cassette recorders, paraded through the streets and performed strange dances, attracting the attention of people around them.
The perfume shop is hidden in a secluded alley with a small storefront. You can see its sign here, which is very small and inconspicuous. There is only a wooden sign that says "Perfume House".
A few minutes later, Li Xiangnan followed the two men and stood at the door.
"Follow me closely!" Song Yi smiled at him and reached out to push open the wooden door.
The bells suddenly rang, and the room was filled with a strange fragrance.
The layout of the store is very much like a Chinese medicine shop. Standing in the middle, you will see small drawers on the east, west and north walls.
An old craftsman wearing reading glasses was standing attentively behind the counter inside. Li Xiangnan stretched his head to take a look and realized that he was mixing perfume.
Seeing the three people come in, he just raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a tone that was neither enthusiastic nor distant, "Please take a look!"
Li Xiangnan knew that these were customers who were used to coming here to watch the fun, and most of them would not actually buy anything. After a long time, the chef's usual enthusiasm was probably all exhausted.
"Master Yan, I called you. My sister Song Yi is here to pick up the perfume!" Song Zimo stood there politely and did not step forward immediately.
"..."
Only then did the master inside turn around and look at the three people straight in the eye. When he saw Song Yi, his face instantly lit up.
"Oh, look at the look in my eyes! My eyes are blurry! I didn't recognize you! Miss Song, please come in, everyone, please come in!" Master Yan immediately became enthusiastic, and his attitude was completely different from before.
Song Yi glanced at Li Xiangnan quietly. She was obviously a regular customer. She walked to the counter with ease, opened a small drawer, used a special dropper to dip a little perfume liquid on the back of her hand, picked it up and sniffed it herself, then stretched out her hand and handed it to Li Xiangnan to smell.
Song Zimo's nose was originally sticking out in front, and when he saw his sister's hand reaching out, he quickly moved closer. However, the hand just passed him by and was placed to the side. He immediately rolled his eyes.
Li Xiangnan couldn't help but laugh and patted Song Zimo on the shoulder, "Investigating the case is important, investigating the case is important!"
Song Zimo then hummed twice and ran to the side to smell it himself.
"The taste is similar, but the feeling... is not this! There are still subtle differences. You taught me!" Li Xiangnan immediately smelled the difference and quickly shook his head.
"Master Yan, do you have any new recipes recently?" Song Yi understood and began to ask.
"Miss Song, you've come at the perfect time. I've mixed a rose water that smells really good. Would you like to try it?"
Song Yi stopped and did not pace in front of the small drawer. She glanced at Li Xiangnan, indicating that he should speak frankly.
"Master Yan, I have something to ask you!"
“…” Master Yan was startled and raised his head from the operating table, a little surprised.
"Master," Li Xiangnan took out a piece of cloth from his pocket, walked to the counter and handed it over, "Please smell this!"
The old master took the cloth suspiciously, lowered his head and sniffed it, his expression slightly changed, "This is not an ordinary perfume, where did you get it from?"
Li Xiangnan looked at him calmly.
"Master, you just need to tell me if this thing came out from here."
The old master stared at him for a long time, as if trying to recall whether Li Xiangnan was a regular here. He sniffed the cloth again and shook his head. "It's not from mine! This is authentic French. Judging by the lingering fragrance, it must be a vintage Chanel No. 5. With this intensity, it must have been stored for at least six years! If you can get it, I'll give you six thousand yuan. Sell it to me!"
Six thousand yuan!
Song Zimo exclaimed in surprise.
Li Xiangnan frowned even more.
A bottle of old perfume is worth six thousand yuan!
It seems that the woman who uses this perfume must be from an extremely wealthy and extravagant family!
Song Yi took out a pack of Great Unity cigarettes from her pocket and pushed it over the counter.
"Master Yan, think about it, who in Yanjing City is using a perfume like this?"
She knew that even if Master Yan was not the one who sold the perfume, he must know the inside story because of his knowledge of perfume.
But Master Yan did not reach out to take the money on the table, and his eyes did not even linger on the table.
He shook his head and refused, "Miss Song, I'm sorry, you know the rules, I can't talk about the guests' privacy!"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at each other, their hearts immediately sinking to the bottom...
