When Lin Bining and Bai Yi arrived at the Lin family's incense shop, the shopkeeper Lu was already waiting at the door, and they had seen the ceremony, the shopkeeper pulled the corners of his mouth, and said embarrassedly: "Little boy, the incense maker in charge of the incense inspection went home last night, he came over immediately, and asked the little boy to go up to the house and wait." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It doesn't matter." It's still early, and Lin Bining is not in a hurry.

She took Bai Yi to sit in the incense room, and the shopkeeper Lu personally made tea, and then went outside to ask the guy to go to the man's house to urge.

When Lin Bining and Bai Yi were about to bottom out with a cup of tea, Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly walked in, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said as calmly as possible: "Little boy, the incense maker drank too much last night, and he fell when he got up in the morning, and now he is lying on the bed and can't get up, and the incense gathering can't catch up." There is a person who was also responsible for inspecting the incense materials in the Lin family incense shop before, and then he didn't do it when he was older, but the work at the moment is still there, and I have sent someone to invite him outside the city, and he can come over in about an hour. It's better for the little boy to go shopping first, and I'll wait for someone to come and then go to the little boy. ”

Before she could reply, Bai Yi shook the fan and chuckled: "Why should Shopkeeper Lu be reluctant to seek the near and far, isn't there a ready-made incense test in front of him." ”

Lin Bining's heart moved, when she was in Shangdu, she followed her father to inspect the incense materials, and she never made a mistake, this may be her chance to be alone. Being able to show what she has learned, she suddenly couldn't wait, and said with a smile: "That's exactly the reason." Shopkeeper Lu, let's go now. ”

"Good...... Good. Shopkeeper Lu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted and replied, "I'll explain to my buddy, and the little boy will wait a minute." ”

The young proprietor said so, and the shopkeeper Lu naturally did not dare to object. But as the saying goes, there is no hair on the mouth, the work is not firm, the purchase of incense materials is a big deal, the purchase of tens of thousands of taels of silver, he is not at ease only to hand over to the fledgling son, and immediately ordered the man to invite the old incense worker to rush directly to the assembly, and made up his mind to drag the old incense worker to the next order.

The venue in front of the Tanah Lot Temple in Yunlong City is empty, and the annual incense material gathering will be held there. As the scale of the rally has grown, it has changed from a non-governmental gathering to an official gathering, and each stall has to charge a booth fee of five taels of silver, not to mention that the stall fee is so expensive, these stalls have been rented out a month ago.

At this time of year, there is an endless stream of people who come to Yunlong City to buy incense materials, in addition to the purchase of incense shops, some private buyers will also buy some incense materials at the rally.

Why do you say Tao? Because incense materials, especially precious incense materials, such as agarwood, sandalwood, musk, etc., are like antique paintings, the price is high and low, and the quality is good or bad.

The official office will sit in two famous incense makers in the city, each time as long as you pay a hundred yuan can help you test the incense, which is a good choice for private buyers who buy a small amount of incense, but for the incense shop that needs to buy a large number of incense materials, it is not cost-effective, so the incense shop will bring a special person to test the incense when buying incense materials.

On the first day, there were the largest number of people gathering, and the sellers had the most complete goods, so they might be able to buy good incense.

The crowd in front of Tanah Lot was full of people, the shouting of the food stalls on the periphery, the bargaining in front of the stalls, and the officials patrolling from time to time to prevent people from stealing things.

Bai Yi walked beside Lin Bining, blocking the people next to her with both hands from time to time, so as not to be bumped into by others.

Most of the incense dealers who often participate in the rally have fixed stalls, and the shopkeeper Lu is familiar with them to buy common incense materials from the familiar incense dealers, Lin Bining inspects them one by one on the side, and the shopkeeper Lu pays the money, and then sends them to the incense shop by a special incense carrier.

Incense workers, as the name suggests, is to carry incense materials, which is also a new line derived from the incense material assembly, the incense materials traded in the daily assembly are calculated in 10,000 catties, and the incense workers are very popular, and the money earned these days can catch up with the usual two months earned.

Of course, many incense materials are expensive, and these incense workers must be registered in the government before they can take up their posts, and if the incense materials are lost or damaged, they must be held responsible.

Because most of them are bought from familiar incense dealers, after an hour, in addition to agarwood, sandalwood and other precious incense materials, other commonly used incense materials have almost been purchased.

"Shopkeeper Lu, I just saw many families selling agarwood, and you never stopped, I don't know where you bought it on weekdays?" Agarwood is always the darling of incense, and Lin Bining can't wait to take a look at the agarwood here.

It's been so long, and the old incense maker hasn't arrived yet, so Shopkeeper Lu secretly wiped the sweat from his palm, and said with a smile: "Just in front, I'll take the little boy over." ”

As soon as a few people arrived at the stall, a young man who looked like a steward greeted him with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lu hasn't seen you for a long time, and you look tougher than last time." The shopkeeper came just right, I have a new batch of inverted shelves, the quality is good, the shopkeeper may wish to take a look. ”

The division of agarwood into water sinking, stacking incense and yellow ripe incense is the division in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", but the inversion here is another division of agarwood.

The so-called agarwood is neither directly taken from a kind of wood like sandalwood, nor directly from a resin like dipterocarp, but a certain incense tree that has been "knotted" for thousands of years in a special environment, mixed with gum, resin, volatile oil, wood and other components.

This method is based on the different reasons for the incense of agarwood, as well as the different parts of the incense tree, the agarwood is divided into inverted frame, water sinking, earth sinking, ant sinking, live sinking and white wood, the quality of the inverted frame is the best, and the others are secondary.

The first three types of agarwood can emit fragrance in natural conditions, which is called dead sinking; The latter three can only give off a fragrance when lit and are called shengshen.

"TOEFL TOEFL, why is it that only Steward Zeng is here today, and Wei Dong's family hasn't come?" Shopkeeper Lu replied with a smile, "You can show it to me." ”

The steward Zeng took a piece of blue-black wood and handed it to the shopkeeper Lu, and replied with a smile in his mouth: "My owner has other things, so he didn't come over." ”

Shopkeeper Lu handed over the wood to Lin Bining, and the steward Zeng was surprised when he saw it: "Is this the shopkeeper's new invitation to inspect the incense?" is so young, what a hero out of a teenager. ”

He didn't underestimate the other party because of Lin Bining's young age, after all, the fact that people can't look good is obviously reflected in his own owner. Moreover, since the shopkeeper Lu asked the other party to test the incense, he had two brushes.

If Shopkeeper Lu knew what he was talking about, he was afraid that he would have to squeeze out a few tears, he was a young owner, and he dared not let the other party test the incense.

He laughed a few times, and without answering the words of the housekeeper, he changed the topic and talked a few other words.
