Chapter 173: Come Prepared

When I asked someone who pulled the cart, there were no chemical stores in the city. They were all shook their heads. Chemicals are definitely high-end things these days. Most people have never heard of them. Finally, a coachman said, "Sir, I remember there is a store opened by foreigners. It seems to sell the things you said, but it is in the east of the city and the road is far away."

"I'll give you enough money for the car." Jiang Hao said as he got into the rickshaw.

The rickshaw ran quickly, crossing the streets and alleys, and ran half the city, and finally arrived at the door of a store called "George Chemical Supplies Store".

When I saw this name, it was probably made by a foreigner.

When he walked into the store, the store was deserted and there were no customers at all. Only one guy was dozing off on the counter. Jiang Hao walked over to the table quietly. The guy woke up and looked at Jiang Hao and said quickly, "What do you want, sir."

Jiang Hao said a lot of chemical nouns. Some guys knew, some felt slight, and some didn't hear it. The guy kept his face holding back and said, "Sorry, I'm just three months old, and some things are not very clear, so why don't I ask my boss."

"Okay, tell your boss that I'm a long-term business and I'm just going to talk to your boss myself." Jiang Hao said.

The guy ran upstairs and soon came down with a brown-haired and blue-eyed foreigner. The guy looked in his thirties, but the foreigner was wearing a Chinese long gown and looked in an inappropriate manner. After seeing Jiang Hao, he said in very bad Chinese, "Howl, what do you want to smell like?"

Jiang Hao almost laughed and said in English: "We can communicate in English."

When the foreigner heard that the person opposite could speak English, he immediately smiled and said in English: "I am an American, my name is George, George Lee, oh, your English is really standard, have you been to study in the United States?"

"No, I taught myself." Jiang Hao said.

"Oh my God, you are such a genius. I have been learning Chinese by myself for more than a year, but I can only understand some of the daily words."

After chatting for a few words, George asked, "By the way, what do you want, please say it again, my guy doesn't know much about chemistry. You know, there is almost no chemistry in China."

Jiang Hao said again what he wanted to buy. George was much better than that guy and quickly gave an answer, some, some were not. Jiang Hao looked at the chemical list and finally selected some.

With these things, Jiang Hao can make several white wine additives he needs, which are already mellow and delicious enough.

The guy went to prepare the things, and George pulled Jiang Hao down and continued to chat. Perhaps because no one spoke his native language to him for a long time, this guy had a great desire to communicate, so he talked endlessly.

"You know, I used to run a chemical store in the United States, but then the economic crisis and demand for industrial products dropped sharply, and my store was in losses every day, which made me very sad."

Economic crisis?

Oh, the Great Depression in the United States.

Jiang Hao remembered it.

"Later, my cousin Baker wrote to me that he was in China, and China was an uncultivated virgin land, and there were plenty of opportunities here. By the way, my cousin is Professor Rohato's secretary, who is an economist, and your chairman's "cool" economic adviser."

When Jiang Hao heard the name, he jumped unconsciously.

"I think there should be a lot of potential for this relationship, so I said goodbye to my wife Susanna, brought all my belongings and worked for a steamship for 20 days. You know, it's not easy to live on the sea."

"But after I came, I found that this place had not been reclaimed, but it was too desolate, so desolate that few people use chemicals. They only need the most common ones, such as acid and alkali, and others, and no one cares about it. Many of my things are backlogged there."

"Look at this place, there is often no customer coming in a day. I wanted to open the store in Shanghai or Nandu, but my cousin disagreed. He said that it was not safe and it would be better to open it in an inland city. Then I came to Rongcheng."

"But the business here is really not good, which makes me very leisurely. I learned to drink tea and listen to music." When he said this, he approached Jiang Hao and said, "Later I saw a beautiful lady who was an opera singer. I wanted her to be my girlfriend. Do you know? Later, she took the initiative to tell me that she would be my concubine."

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at Jiang Hao, "Chinese women are very gentle and good at serving people. I feel that I can't live without her."

"What about your wife Susanna?" Jiang Hao asked.

George shrugged, "You know, being alone outside is very lonely. I love Susanna, but I am also lonely. I don't think this is betrayal of her. You are also a man, what do you think."

Jiang Hao's butt was not clean either, so he nodded and said, "I think it shouldn't count."

George smiled and clapped his hands, "Man, I think we can be friends."

When men talk about topics, it becomes easy to communicate as long as they are not lovers.

"By the way, Yu, my friend said that you want to cooperate for a long time, that's great. I can give you a discount. Now it's 95% off. The more you use it in the future, the greater the discount."

Jiang Hao smiled, "That's great George."

The guy prepared the things, and there were more than a dozen raw materials in total, many of which were packed in glass bottles, as well as a bunch of beaker and reagent bottles, etc. These were tools for making additives, wrapped on the outside with straw mat, making them very fine.

"George, I'm going to go somewhere else and buy some gifts for my wife. I'll put them here first and take them away when I come back from shopping." Jiang Hao said.

"no problem."

Jiang Hao said goodbye to George and came to Chunxi Road by car. Chunxi Road was named in 1924 and is known as the Centennial Golden Street. It is the most prosperous street in Chengdu. There are many silk shops, jewelry shops, fur shops and shopping malls on both sides of the street. Walking on this street, its prosperity feel is comparable to that of the pedestrian streets in later generations.

Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang!

A sound came from a distance, and Jiang Hao saw a tram coming. Because it made a clatter from time to time, the locals called him a clatter car.

When he walked into a shopping mall, it was even more spacious than the mall in later generations. Jiang Hao walked around and stopped in the jewelry section. He found that the things here were very expensive. Not to mention those jade jewelry, even a piece of gold jewelry is very valuable, and he can't afford it now.

When I came to the cosmetics area, the cosmetics are now very complete, including silky cream, talcum powder, shampoo, perfume, lipstick. Jiang Hao stopped at the lipstick counter, picked up a few and looked at them, and found that they were all foreign brands.

"Sir, do you want to buy a lipstick for your wife? This is the American "Danqi". The latest rotating design, applied to your mouth, can definitely increase the beauty of a woman exponentially. Look at my lips, this lipstick is applied." As she said that, the waitress pouted slightly.

"How much does this cost?" Jiang Hao asked.

"5 oceans." said the waitress lightly.

Damn, just a lipstick costs 5 yuan. Do you know how much grain can you buy from five yuan? Do you know that five yuan is enough for a family of children in half a month? Can I make a basket of five yuan for you?

Jiang Hao can do this thing himself.

Making lipsticks is not complicated, it can be said to be very simple. There are many videos of making your own lipsticks online, with no less than a hundred kinds of recipes, and they are sold directly in prestige, and they are available for a few dollars each.

"Okay, give me one." Jiang Hao took out 5 silver dollars and handed it to the waiter.

Back at the chemical store, Jiang Hao asked if George was there. The guy said that he took his concubine to listen to music. He was a bastard and lived a more casual life than his time traveler. Jiang Hao walked around the store and bought a few more things. Then he called a coachman and took his things to the inn.

The next day, Jiang Hao woke up in the morning and hired a car and took everything back to the county town. As soon as he got home, Jiang Hao vacated the east wing room and made it into a laboratory. Although the laboratory looked too simple, there were only some flasks, reagent bottles and two stoves.

But being simple does not mean being simple, career starts here.

At this moment, a strong and black guy knocked on Jiang Hao's door. When he opened the door and saw the visitor, he was holding two packs of snacks in his hand. Jiang Hao asked with a smile: "Chef Fang, if you don't manage your hotel, why did you come to me?"

The person who came was Fang Dazheng, the owner of the small restaurant where Jiang Hao brought Jiuer to dinner the day before yesterday.

Boss Fang smiled and said, "Boss Yu, I came here to learn from my master."

Since eating boiled fish yesterday, Fang Dazheng has been obsessed with it. He felt that if he learned that dish, his business would definitely become popular, so he started to learn the arts.

I thought about it all day yesterday, but I finally came to my house today.

"It's OK to learn skills, but how can we settle the score?" Jiang Hao asked.

Fang Dazheng also knew that learning skills was not that simple, so he said, "I prepared a gift of 30 yuan and wanted to learn from Boss Yu's boiled fish. Do you think it's OK?" He said that, put a wallet on the table.

30 yuan is already a lot.

Jiang Hao immediately wrote down the recipe for boiled fish and the details of cooking and handed it to Fang Dazheng. 30 yuan was exchanged for a piece of paper, but he didn't know that he had lost money.

Just as Fang Dazheng was about to say goodbye, Jiang Hao said, "By the way, I have many other dishes, which don't taste boiled fish, such as pickled fish or something."

Fang Dazheng almost fell.

After Fang Dazheng left, with his memory, Jiang Hao began to tinker with alcohol additives. Although he failed twice, he finally succeeded.

Jiuer has also seen it, but she can't understand what a man is doing at all. But she knows that men must be doing something big. She has no education and can't help men, so she will serve him with all her heart.

I eat and drink every day, but I almost feed them directly. I take a bath and wash my feet at night. When I have sex, I am afraid that the man will be tired, so I take the initiative to sit on it and shake myself.
