Chapter 901: Rudeness
There are generally two ways to taste common incense, one is solid, like the common tower incense, lying incense, incense sticks, etc., and the other is incense powder. 'Le'wen'''.
However, incense powder is more troublesome to use than solid incense, and it is generally used by incense seals. This incense seal is the incense seal mentioned above, and the incense powder is printed into various patterns.
Playing to this level, it is regarded as the introduction of incense, taking the tea ceremony as an analogy, playing incense sticks is equivalent to drinking tea in a big bowl, quenching thirst as the main thing, and the product is supplemented; playing incense seal is the same as the tea ceremony, it is a complicated and pleasing process, meditating in the process, and then slowly savoring.
The incense utensils that Wang Zhixuan brought were incense burners, incense ashes, ash charges, incense seals, incense spoons, and incense shovels.
The incense burner, needless to say, is used to hold incense ash, so what is the function of incense ash, mainly for flammability, so that the incense powder is fully burned. If you are interested, it is recommended to buy the finished incense ash, the finished fragrance is as white as snow, as thin as a face, very beautiful, and the price is also very cheap.
Meng Zitao poured the incense burner into the incense burner and leveled it, and then picked up the ash and compacted the incense ash, which also has a size, not bigger than the incense burner.
After Mencius lifted the ash, he gently put the incense seal on the flat incense ash, then filled the incense powder with the incense spoon, and then used the incense shovel to evenly press the incense powder into the pattern of the incense seal, and then gently lifted the incense seal.
It should be noted that when mentioning it, it must be slow and steady, otherwise the seal will collapse, which is no problem for Meng Zitao, and since the liquefaction of the aura, his movements also have an indescribable ethereal temperament, which is pleasing to the viewer's eyes.
Meng Zitao lit the incense powder, and as the curling green smoke rose, a strange fragrance began to spread in the store, and Wang Zhixuan was stunned, his face showed an intoxicated color, and he couldn't extricate himself from it.
Wang Zhixuan's performance is very normal, yesterday after Meng Zitao with incense powder, and He Wanyi tasted incense together, it is not much better than Wang Zhixuan, in the process of tasting incense, the brain is ethereal, and the feeling of pleasure cannot be expressed in words, after the fragrance is finished, it is also refreshing, there is no adverse reaction, and I will not say that I want to suck it.
At this time, several customers outside the door were also attracted by this strange fragrance, and gently walked to the table to savor it without making a sound.
"Boss, what kind of incense are you burning here, it smells so good!" a rough voice suddenly came from the door, breaking the peace in the shop.
Wang Zhixuan was very annoyed, and the other customers who were concentrating on tasting incense were also like this, but fortunately, because of the wrong environment, Meng Zitao did not take out much incense powder, and now the incense powder is about to burn to the end, and there is not much waste.
"Why are you so rude!" an older customer couldn't help but accuse the man.
The person who spoke just now is a middle-aged man of forty-one and twelve, with a fat head and big ears, in the words of the sketch, either the boss or the guy, but this guy is not dressed very well, but the style is not small, whether it is the boss or the man, I can't guess for a while.
Seeing that everyone looked at him with anger in their eyes, the middle-aged man's heart was also tight, but immediately, his momentum rose again: "How can you talk this old man, just ask a question, why am I rude! Besides, you don't look at what you look like, talk to me about Sven? I think you should go back to your mother's womb and rebuild it." ”
"You ......" The old man pointed to the middle-aged man, so angry that he couldn't speak, although he did look ugly, but ordinary people with some literacy would definitely not expose their shortcomings like this, let alone say such ugly words.
Wang Zhixuan suddenly became angry, pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "Let me out, I don't welcome you!"
The middle-aged man's temper also came: "Old man, you are very good, you dare to drive me away! Believe it or not, I asked someone to smash your shop!"
"Quickly call someone to come and smash it, if you don't call it, this is it. Meng Zitao smiled and gestured to the movements of a turtle.
The middle-aged man said angrily: "Boy, you brought this on yourself!"
"Don't just talk and don't practice, call people quickly. ”
Meng Zitao's disdainful eyes ignited the anger of the middle-aged man, and he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call someone.
Meng Zitao lazily ignored him, and said to Wang Zhixuan: "Uncle Wang, don't pay attention to him, what do you think of my incense powder?"
With Meng Zitao here, even if there was a conflict, Wang Zhixuan was not worried, besides, he still didn't believe it, who dared to smash his shop, so he didn't take the threat of the middle-aged man to heart, organized his words, and said:
"It's a very charming fragrance with a hint similar to Qi Nan, but different, with a mild, soft flavor that refreshes the mind and body. After tasting the fragrance, there is not only the cohesion of Tai Chi, but also the rendering power of infinite expansion. The overall feeling is very mellow and friendly, with a sweet aroma. It's the best of all the incense I've ever smelled. ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "Thank you Uncle Wang for the compliment, it seems that there should be a market for my incense powder." ”
"Of course. Wang Zhixuan nodded, if there is no market for this kind of incense powder, isn't it an international joke?
"Is this incense powder on sale now?" asked the old man who had just spoken, and several other customers also looked at it, obviously very moved.
Meng Zitao smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I only prepared some in total, and this kind of incense powder is exquisitely used, and the price is also a little expensive." ”
"Oh, I would venture to ask, what is the price?" the old man was clearly not dead.
"Fifty-one grams. Meng Zitao pondered for a moment.
"Oh...... How much!50,000 grams?!" Everyone, including Wang Zhixuan, looked dumbfounded.
The middle-aged man who was on the phone also heard it, and also showed an expression of disbelief.
"Top ambergris, 50,000 yuan a gram is normal. Meng Zitao smiled.
Generally speaking, top-quality ambergris is basically not seen in the market, and even if it is sold, it is only negotiated privately. If you have to make an analogy, the top ambergris is comparable to the top Qi Nan. The incense powder prepared by Meng Zitao, in terms of rarity, is definitely not as good as the top ambergris, but the key is that the material it uses is precious, and it is cheaper to calculate, and the price of 50,000 yuan a gram is really not expensive.
Hearing that this is a top-quality ambergris, several customers can't help but be stunned, so to speak, it is really not expensive. They couldn't afford to buy such a valuable incense, but they were very happy when they thought of tasting this top-notch spice just now.
Wang Zhixuan knew the truth, but he also knew that Meng Zitao should not make a random price, which means that the raw materials for preparing incense powder are also quite precious, and the charm just now is indeed worth that price.
"In other words, the incense powder I ordered just now is worth tens of thousands of yuan?"
"Pretty much. ”
"You scumbag. Wang Zhixuan scolded with a smile.
Meng Zitao pretended to say: "Uncle Wang, I am so sad when you say this, but I think of you first as soon as I have good things." ”
Wang Zhixuan said: "Then why don't you tell me, isn't it a waste to put it here to taste the incense?"
The fragrance environment should be quiet, not noisy, and the fragrance is easily diluted by other flavors, so when tasting the fragrance, it is necessary to ensure that there is no miscellaneous smell in the surrounding environment, especially the taste of chemical flavors. If there are a lot of miscellaneous smells in the environment, the purity of the fragrance will be greatly reduced, and the taste will not be the real taste.
So this is definitely not a suitable place to taste incense, but what Meng Zitao brought today is only the version of the first blending, and there are still some shortcomings, he doesn't care about tasting incense here, so he makes do with it.
"Hey, where's that guy?" Wang Zhixuan looked towards the door, and the middle-aged man just now was long gone.
Meng Zitao sneered: "I ran away just now, and I was also a coward." ”
If the middle-aged man just now knew that Meng Zitao said this about him, he would definitely refute it, you casually burned tens of thousands of yuan, can I not be cowardly?
Of course, the most important thing is because of the reaction of the friend he contacted, the other party heard what he was going to do, and learned that Meng Zitao was also there, so he hung up the phone directly, in this case, it is strange that the middle-aged man does not run.
"If you run away monk, you can't run away from the temple. Meng Zitao muttered in his heart, because of the previous encounter, he has changed his handling, he likes to nip the danger in the bud when encountering things, and the middle-aged man is so arrogant, he has to investigate it.
After the incense, Meng Zitao chatted with Wang Zhixuan for a while, because there was still something to do, he proposed to leave, and told Wang Zhixuan that he had a treat at noon.
"Hey, don't be busy walking, I have something to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"There's a very important thing this month, you know?"
"Very important thing?" Meng Zitao didn't expect what Wang Zhixuan was talking about, and when he saw that Wang Zhixuan's face began to be gloomy, and a flash of inspiration flashed, then he remembered what it was, and said with a smile: "I know, it's the annual meeting of our association." ”
Wang Zhixuan snorted coldly: "Hmph, did you forget about it if I didn't remind you?"
"How can this be!" Meng Zitao laughed dryly, in fact, he really almost forgot, there were too many things, he originally thought that after returning from the capital, he would go to the jewelry company in Shanghai to have a look, and then go to Yinyang to find the carver for clues, as for the annual meeting of the Antique Association, he forgot about it.
Wang Zhixuan said angrily: "You, I think it's 'unofficial and light', you have prepared a speech for me, and you have to elect me as the vice president of this annual meeting no matter what." ”
Meng Zitao said with a bitter face: "Uncle Wang, you are completely chasing ducks to the shelves, how can you force me to run for election." Besides, this vice president can't be chosen casually, and I'm not old enough. ”
Wang Zhixuan waved his hand and directly settled the matter: "You don't care about other things, wait for the time to participate in the election." ”
