Seeing that Meng Zitao's comments convinced everyone, Zhu Tianhua was very unhappy in his heart, and really wanted to knock Meng Zitao directly into the dust. But he also has brains, and it is impossible for him to jump out and sing against Meng Zitao everywhere knowing that with his own strength, he can't even break half of Meng Zitao's hair, which is no different from a fool.

Therefore, Zhu Tianhua would rather retreat than meet with Meng Zitao, so as not to affect his mood. But reality is often not based on people's thoughts, he didn't want to see Meng Zitao, but he did.

"Every time I meet this guy, nothing good happens, I hope I don't have anything bad because of him today!" Zhu Tianhua thought.

Gao Yunshi smiled and said to everyone: "Agarwood will be tasted here first, and thank you for sharing your experience, and then I will bring you a spice that I personally combine, the taste is a little special, if anyone can guess which spice is used for blending, I will have a reward." ”

Shao Daxi said: "I said Brother Yunshi, your question is too difficult." ”

Gao Yunshi said with a smile: "If the topic is not difficult, isn't it too easy to get the reward?" Let me remind you again, I am talking about the most critical spice, which can play a role in blending all the incense. ”

"One more reminder. Shao Daxi said.

Gao Yunshi shook his head with a smile: "It's too simple to be interesting." ”

Shao Daxi made another request: "Then you have to let us see what the reward is." ”

"You're asking for a lot. Gao Yunshi took out a small box, and after opening it, everyone noticed that inside the box was a small piece of black and gray on one side, and the texture looked like something like rice bran.

"Is this ambergris?" Ye Tong said with some surprise.

Shao Daxi was also a little frightened: "Damn, you even took out ambergris as a reward, it's really enough." It can't be that it wasn't natural, could it?"

It is said that in the Han Dynasty, coastal fishermen caught some gray-white fragrant drift, which was more fragrant than musk when lit. At that time, no one knew what kind of treasure it was, but after consulting the chemists and alchemists in the palace, they believed that when the dragon rested on the stone, the saliva would float to the water, and then gather together to dry and solidify, so they gave it an incomparably noble name Ambergris.

In fact, ambergris is actually the excrement of sperm whales, which love to eat squid, especially giant squid. The sperm whale swallows the giant squid, but can't digest the squid's parrot beak. They gradually form a viscous dark substance in the small intestine, which weighs 100 to 1,000 grams and once weighed 420 kilograms. Its maximum diameter is 165 centimeters, and this substance is called "ambergris".

It is stored in the colon and rectum, and these things that are excreted at first, black and slimy, and have a foul smell, and if the more it starts to smell, then the more fragrant it will be later.

After these things are discharged, it must be allowed to continue to float on the surface of the sea, and after sun exposure and air catalysis, it will slowly denature, the texture will become harder and harder, the color will gradually become lighter, and at the same time, the smell will subside until it disappears, and then the light fragrance will appear, gradually becoming stronger! The faster this process, the better the quality of the waxy ambergris formed in the future.

This is the process of the formation of ambergris, it is estimated that some people will feel unbearable, this thing is incense, but it is whale excrement in the end, and there will be some diaphragms in the heart.

Of course, for people who love incense, they will not deliberately think about what kind of excrement this is, and natural ambergris is precious and rare because it needs to be soaked in seawater for dozens or hundreds of years before it can be formed. Of course, you have to say that it is not too difficult to collect directly from the whale's body in modern times, but is ambergris collected like that kind of ambergris a real ambergris?

Getting back to the point, Gao Yunshi listened to Shao Daxi's words, and said angrily: "I won't fool everyone with fakes." ”

Everyone else also echoed it, accusing Shao Daxi of not speaking through his brain, and Shao Daxi also hurriedly apologized to Gao Yunshi.

"You kid just has a bad mouth, if you don't change it, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. ”

Gao Yunshi pointed at Shao Daxi, and then said: "However, don't expect it to be the best ambergris, and it is only 3.75 grams, so it should be regarded as a helper, I hope you don't think I'm stingy." ”

Everyone said no, judging from the quality of the small ambergris, its quality should be medium, and the value is at least thousands of yuan, and the key natural genuine ambergris is not so easy to buy in the market.

With this reward, everyone's interest was very high, and they began to taste the incense.

Not to mention, the spices prepared by Gao Yunshi are really unusual, with a soft taste, fruity and floral aromas, and a slightly cool feeling. The flavor reaches the throat and fills the entire ribcage and is refreshing.

"It's so fragrant!" After everyone tasted it, they were full of praise for Gao Yunshi, and some people even said that they wanted to buy it.

Gao Yunshi said with a smile: "Don't worry, when the Lu Xiang meeting is over, I will give everyone a box of this spice, and I still want everyone to visit more in the future." ”

Everyone laughed and said yes.

Gao Yunshi looked at everyone with a smile: "Okay, let's answer the question I just asked,"

"I think it's a rose. Shao Daxi was the first to speak.

Gao Yunshi shook his head: "That's an ingredient, not a spice used to blend all the incense." ”

Next, everyone expressed their opinions, but none of them were correct.

Ye Tong said: "Okay, this question is too difficult to guess, you can just say it directly." ”

Gao Yunshi smiled and looked at Meng Zitao, who had not spoken just now: "Teacher Meng, what insights do you have?"

"I would like to ask if that spice serves as an introduction. ”

"I can't say it's an introduction, but after using this spice, the other flavors will be sublimated. ”

"Isn't it a real fragrance?"

Gao Yunshi was slightly stunned and gave Meng Zitao a thumbs up: "I didn't expect that Teacher Meng also has research on the true incense." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I really haven't done any research, but my master mentioned to me the effect of lowering the true incense, so let's guess it." ”

"Ma, just guess it right, don't you want to be so hypocritical!" Zhu Tianhua couldn't help but scold in his heart.

After a few compliments, Gao Yunshi looked around: "Then the winner of this piece of ambergris is Teacher Meng, everyone has no opinion, right?"

Of course, everyone had no opinion on this, and Meng Zitao also accepted the award with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Ye, what is this true incense?" Lu Baocheng asked curiously.

Ye Tong explained in a whisper: "Zhenzhen incense is a kind of vine plant, also known as wisteria incense, also known as chicken bone incense, it is also a kind of bacterial incense, mostly produced in Lingnan, Qiongdao and other places in southern China, as well as Southeast Asia, and the quality is better than that produced in Qiongdao." ”

"The reason why it is called the true incense is because Taoism believes that the true incense is the spiritual incense of the emperor, so the true incense is worshiped as the venerable of incense. The incense burns smoke directly to the sky, and the crane can be summoned to the Jiao altar. Liu Wentai, a physician in the Ming Dynasty, also wrote about this in the "Essence of Materia Medica", "Burning can lead (immortal) cranes to descend, and the power is extremely tested, so the name is true". ”

"Then what's the difference between it and agarwood?" Lu Baocheng asked again.

Ye Tong thought for a while: "From the perspective of the reality of the true incense and the agarwood, the causes of the two are basically the same, and they are all caused by the invasion of fungi and the formation of incense. Those who appear dark black after the two incense are sunk, and the places where the incense is not complete are not sunk. The difference is that agarwood is the incense of trees, while the incense of descending is the incense of vines, and the fragrance is also different......"

Just as Ye Tong was doing science popularization for Lu Baocheng, Shao Daxi opened his mouth and said: "Brother Yunshi, presumably you took out the spices blended with the true fragrance, it shouldn't be lost, right?"

Gao Yunshi smiled and said to everyone: "Presumably, everyone should have a deep understanding of the effect of the true incense and the incense, do you think that this kind of true incense will have a market in the future?"

Shao Daxi made a sudden look: "Oh, you want to hype it again, right?"

Gao Yunshi said unhappily: "Do a good deal, it will become a determinatory term in your mouth, do you know 0 I want to beat you now!"

Shao Daxi smiled and said: "Although my words are not good, but it is also a fact, I have not been exposed to this thing, and now it is only a few hundred yuan a catty, if you want to make money, you must not hype? ”

"Gotta have it, I have nothing to say to you. ”

Gao Yunshi originally wanted to organize the language, but when Shao Daran stirred it up like this, he didn't have that thought, and said bluntly: "The true fragrance is a good spice, I think the value is completely underestimated now, so I ask if you are interested in working together?"

"How to cooperate?"

"The specific cooperation method, forgive me for the time being, who wants to buy shares, if you want to buy shares, let's contact privately when we go back, and then we will discuss the cooperation method together. You're okay with that. ”

Speaking of which, Meng Zitao was also a little curious about Gao Yunshi's hype methods, and he wanted to know a thing or two, but he didn't like the hype, and felt that the money he made in this way was a bit of a loss.

Gao Yunshi waved his hand: "Okay, it's not too early, let's eat first, and let's continue to talk about incense in the afternoon." ”

At this time, Zhu Tianhua said: "I still have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't eat here, can Lao Dong's two pieces of ambergris show me first?"

The old man named Lao Dong shook his head: "Lao Zhu, it's not that I don't look at it, but you want to buy it after you see it, so how can we communicate?"

Zhu Tianhua clapped his hands: "Hey, this thing is not easy to do, just put the things in your exchange first, and then give them to me later?" Old Dong, okay, I really don't have much time." ”

"You guy, why do you like the scenery so much!" Lao Dong muttered, and then took out a red box from his side, and after opening it, he saw that there were two things like ambergris inside, one large and one small, the big one had hundreds of grams, and the small one was only about thirty grams.
