Chapter 186 promotes our products under the banner of curing diseases

Qianqian went to the Great Elder for help.

You've made a lot of friends. This is also very well-connected. Help us unblock this relationship, that's no problem!

If only we could go and see the Queen. I don't dare to say that it is a wonderful rejuvenation. But it will make some difference. We'll be able to make a fuss about that.

Under Qianqian's repeated coquettishness, the Great Elder finally decided to go out to the mountain to help! However, the results will not be available until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the earliest!

Qianqian was very happy! It was okay to delay for two days! As long as the old lady was still breathing before we arrived at Buckingham Palace!

After getting Qianqian's accurate information, Li Mobai immediately began relevant preparations.

Tea leaves must be brought with you. This is an important card that Li Mobai is about to play! This card has a bearing on his vital interests! It cannot be ambiguous!

In addition, Li Mobai is also going to bring some tonic pills!

These are all extracted by the old Chinese medicine practitioners with extremely cherished medicinal materials! It has a great effect on the human body! It is especially suitable for nourishing the weak people!

However, these are all secondary! The most important thing for Li Mobai is that if he can take advantage of this opportunity to make a famous name for the Ryukyus, it will also be a good game of chess......!

Qianqian's side personally created the symbol of Kyushu!

People who are familiar with Han culture and Confucian culture must have the concept of the word Kyushu! This status is about the same as the image of the Bible in the eyes of Westerners!

Anyway, Li Mobai thinks that the logo designed by Qianqian is still very good-looking. There is such a breath of everyone's spirit in it!

Kyushu means the country, means the world, and more than ten craftsmen jointly make these two belts, although they cannot be regarded as jewels, but they are also low-key luxury and have connotation!

The finest rhinoceros leather with metal parts made of gold. It is also inlaid with a few pearls!

Handmade craftsmanship is the most valuable! It's the same as a luxury car. As long as it is handmade. That value skyrocketed instantly!

Labor is always the most valuable thing!

A belt. Set with gemstones. It's precious. If so, this belt is made for you by a veteran craftsman with decades of experience. Then you'll find it worth it!

The top quality materials! handmade! top luxury, noble!

As long as the old lady and Prince Philip bring them to appear in public, it is not at all!

The queen of the empire on which the sun never sets personally brings the goods for you. How much is the right price? Is it 100,000 yuan? No. That's just the cost price. Gotta sell for 200,000!

"Let's leave tomorrow! First from Ryukyu to Yanjing in the Ming Kingdom, and then from Yanjing to London. Go and heal the Queen. I guess we can arrange it the day after tomorrow! My master has already paved the road for us. The rest is up to us!"

Li Mobai: "......!"

"No problem! leather goods, then tea, and tonic pills! I thought of these three things for a while. What else did you think of?" Li Mobai pulled Qianqian to sit down on the side, this matter, the two of them have to think about it carefully!

After all, for them, this is a very rare opportunity to advertise their own products! The point is, it's fucking free! If you don't seize such an opportunity, how can you say that it will pass?

Qianqian: "......!"

"I think we can bring some aromatherapy or something. The various incense we make in the Ryukyus ourselves is also wonderful!" the saint suggested!

Li Mobai: "......!"

"Okay. I think so. There is no harm in incense and more smoke. Well. I think it's doable! Well, you see, pick the best one to bring. By the way, it seems that our incense burner is also quite exquisite. You pick the best. Let's bring it over together!" Li Mobai said thoughtfully!

Qianqian: "Okay! No problem, in this way, I think it's about the same." After all, we went in the name of treating the queen of other people. You can't really engage in unscrupulous product promotion! This is too hot and inappropriate! It is counterproductive!"

"Hmm. You're right. It coincides with me. I thought so too. That's it for now. There will be more opportunities in the future!, just like this!" Li Mobai agreed.

Incense making and burning have been going on for a long time. Incense, i.e., the finished product of spice or incense. Such as incense pieces, incense cakes, sachets, pillar incense, incense sticks, loose incense, etc. Incense can emit aromatic substances at room temperature and when ignited.

Spices are divided into two categories: natural and synthetic.

Natural spices are obtained from animal and plant bodies, such as agarwood, musk, sandalwood, cloves, civet incense, ambergris, realgar, rose, wormwood, Suhe oil and other traditional craft incense, not only fragrant things, but also can nourish the spirit!

In order to reduce costs and beautify the appearance of incense products, many chemical agents including chemically synthesized fragrances are often used.

What it pursues is "aroma nourishing the nose", and the difference between the two types of incense products is very obvious.

The ancient incense-making process has gradually matured and improved, but part of the process has been replaced by modern technology, and there is a modern process of incense-making in Qinglong County in the east of the Ming Dynasty.

In the old days, incense shops or workshops were mostly located near temples and markets. Pilgrims worship and burn incense to show respect!

In folklore, incense and candles are also lit to worship ancestors. Nowadays, it is believed that spices have the effect of repelling odors and refreshing the mind.

The use of vanilla dates back to ancient times. Qi Bo, who was the teacher of the Yellow Emperor, tasted herbs, and became the originator of Chinese medicine.

Qi Bo grinds Chinese herbs containing a variety of fragrances into fine powder and packs them in silk bags to repel mosquitoes and flies and cleanse the body.

Later, Huaixiang held the orchid, slowly cherished the afterglow, and gradually became fashionable. From the very beginning, spices have become a monopoly of the official family and a consumer product of the scholar class and the wealthy class, and have become a thing for high-ranking officials and dignitaries to show their status.

Lu You's "Notes on Lao Xue'an" cloud: "In the usual days of Jingshicheng, when the clan Qi Li was in the ban, the women got on the calf cart, and they all used two small rings to hold incense balls beside them, and they held two small incense balls in their sleeves. The car drove by, the cigarettes were like clouds, and the dust was fragrant for miles. ”

His description, although exaggerated. But the aroma is rich and extraordinary, which is not the luxury of ordinary people.

During the Song dynasty, the extravagance of the royal family sometimes surprised the emperor himself. "In the Xuanzheng Palace, ambergris and wax are used as candles, hundreds of branches in the two rows, bright and fragrant." With the identity of spices, flaunting power, it is the people's fat and the people's ointment that are squandered. Spices have become consumer goods, ostentatious goods, and luxury goods of the ruling class, revealing the decline of the ruling class's spirit of "making great efforts".

The fragrance is overflowing, and the cigarette smoke is the common yearning of the literati.

Reading and burning incense in order to seek tranquility and sincerity, feel the noble and elegant taste, meditate in the room, understand life, and care for the society. Burn incense to create an ethereal and comfortable atmosphere, in order to achieve a pleasant and self-sustaining feeling. In this way, a quiet and elegant atmosphere is artificially created, which is very suitable for the mentality and taste of the participants, and reflects the beauty of the unity of human environment.

Many literati call themselves "laymen", such as Ouyang Xiu, a monk from Liuyi, Su Shi, a layman from Dongpo, Li Qingzhao, a layman from Yi'an, etc., often burn incense, rather than a square inch, and be sincere and quiet.

This kind of tranquility and sincerity, which is the same as the "sincerity" advocated by Confucianism, reached a consensus in the burning of incense, and promoted the use of spices among the upper classes.

Confucianism is flourishing, worshiping Buddhism, burning incense to repay vows, burning incense and reciting scriptures. "Incense is the Buddha's envoy", "incense is the messenger of faith", which is the essence of the Buddhist scriptures.

With the development of Buddhism and Taoism, incense burning and worship became more prosperous. After the Song Dynasty, the humanistic spirit was admired, the etiquette was advocated, and then the strange fragrance was borrowed. Things, the body and the heart, fully reflect the social life style of various eras.

As a special item, spices not only show great power in the economic field, but also have a profound impact in the field of social life. Since it entered the homes of ordinary people, it has become an auxiliary for people to mediate their psychology and comfort their souls.

Nowadays, there are still worship and incense burning activities. In addition to worshipping ancestors, worshiping Buddhism and burning incense, there are incense burns to cure diseases, eliminate heat, and dispel filth, and there are mosquito coils made by adding chemical drugs or pyrethrum and other Chinese herbs in summer.

The traditional craft of incense making, not only to aromatize and nourish the nose, but also to nourish the mind and health, enlighten the body and generate wisdom. It is difficult for a single spice to have this effect, and it needs a variety of spices to make a "Hexiang", so "Hexiang" has always been the mainstream product of traditional incense making.

In traditional incense making, the first comprehensive consideration is the use, fragrance type, taste and other factors. Then select spices or medicinal materials according to the basic requirements, and mix them in proportion.

Only when each is in its right place can different spices show their properties.

For example, the traditional tribute incense, letter incense, healing incense, etc., all have their own reasons and methods. Therefore, the traditional method of making incense is very particular in the formula, and the processing of spices is also very strict.

"If you don't do it, the effect is hard to find, and if it is too much, the flavor will be lost." Whether the preparation method is proper or not will directly affect the quality of the incense. The purpose of processing spices is to remove impurities, manage their properties, and eliminate possible toxic side effects.

Previously, economic conditions did not allow it. However, in order to express respect for the gods, ancestors, and sages, no matter how bad the conditions are, you must buy some incense and pray for the New Year's holidays!

This incense carries the sorrow of future generations for their ancestors!

Nowadays, the living conditions are better! Everyone has money in their pockets, so naturally, they have to smoke better incense! Therefore, the price of good incense in Ming is not cheap!

If this business can be done, it will be another big deal!

Li Mobai is short of money, and if he lacks money, he has to find a way to make money! How can he make money? He has to trade! He has to do business.
