Chapter 44: The Tasteless 10,000-year-old agarwood

Previous Chapter

"Wait, Mianmian, how do I remember that the greatest value of agarwood lies in the aroma? If it's really a 10,000-year-old agarwood, shouldn't we smell it when we pass by? Even if it looked like a black wood, if it was agarwood, it would have been discovered because of the smell it emitted. ”

Hu Weifang just wanted to turn on the flicker mode and deceive the seventh master's agarwood sitting pod, but suddenly found a logical problem.

"You don't know, I guess, this is a piece of agarwood that has lost all its flavor."

"Big brother, you are deliberately stimulating me, you want me to be angry with you in a hurry, isn't it, what is the use of the 10,000-year-old agarwood that has dispersed the smell? Not to mention 10,000 years, even if it is 100,000 years, millions of years, it is still a piece of black and rotten wood. ”

"No, no, no, it's not right for you to say that, agarwood wants incense, this concept is instilled in you by your experience in human society. In your earth, especially in Huaxia, agarwood is mainly used to burn, even if it is not burned, it is also made into handicrafts, placed at home as ornaments, and used to smell the smell. But the agarwood of the chef's world is not used like this at all! ”

"That's not how it works? How is that used? ”

"The agarwood in the chef's world is asking for a piece that has no taste, and it uses the characteristic of agarwood. Let's put it this way, the cause of agarwood itself is the special structure and smell formed after the heart of the tree is infected by the true red oil fungus. Chefs don't need its aroma, it's its special structure after infection. This structure can be used to store the aroma of the delicacy. ”

"Storing the aroma of good food?"

"Well, a dish, whether it is delicious or not, pays attention to the color, flavor and taste, this concept is understood by everyone. Color, that is, the appearance and color of the dish, whether it looks good or not; Incense is the aroma exuded by a dish, which arouses people's greed; Taste is the taste of the dish after you put it in your mouth and eat it. Taste is the core, but color and fragrance are things that can be difficult to grasp. Mian Mian said this, and her emotions became a little excited, "This tasteless agarwood is to collect and reproduce the short-term aroma of food." For example, after the scallion fried mutton is done, there will be a mutton aroma mixed with the taste of green onions, which is very good, if you want to make a celebrity chef with the exact same aroma, you need to figure out his cooking techniques, duration and many other aspects. Among the three elements of color and fragrance, color is the best to reproduce, because if you look at it, it is easier to imitate, and the taste is difficult to copy, and the fragrance is even more difficult to copy. It is likely that the aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic esters produced by mixing and heating the ingredients are different one minute earlier or dozens of seconds late, and the final effect is worlds apart. With unscented agarwood, we can collect the aroma of certain delicacies and then let the ingredient Niang perceive this smell when needed. Best of all, the structure of the agarwood itself gives the aroma of this food, which can also be strengthened in the wood to become a concentrated version. Although it may smell too oily or too strong at times, it is a great rare item for learning and teaching. ”

After listening to Mianmian's explanation, Hu Weifang also understood that this tasteless 10,000-year-old agarwood is simply an epic equipment in online games, and a precious prop for rarity SSR. However, at this moment, he was pressed under the cushion used as a footbasin by this uncle, Hu Weifang said that fortunately it was not crushed, otherwise who would be reasonable.

"I said little brother, I've introduced you to everything, there are so many bathtubs, you don't have any of them?" The old man who claimed to be the seventh master tilted his head, he didn't pay much attention to his sales target when he came up, but now he can see that the mind of the daring lover is not on his own explanation at all, but thinking about something else, "Hey, hey, wake up?" ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this uncle, I was suddenly stunned just now, so let's not tell you, I haven't been in the industry for a long time, and I don't have much savings to satisfy the point, so the price of the bathtub you said is too expensive."

When the seventh master on the other side heard this, he was also a little unhappy, saying that you are poor, who will believe it? The epiphany that can comprehend the difficulty of the ground at a young age, can't it be a culinary genius cultivated by a certain family? This kind of person, who doesn't have a few hundred thousand satisfaction points in his pocket, dares to go out shopping?

Of course, his guess this time was really wrong, Hu Weifang was really poor, and he only had a balance of a few hundred points of satisfaction available.

"Well, I really don't have any money." Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, Hu Weifang had no choice but to use the Dafa of crying poverty, "Don't believe it, can you look at my satisfaction point balance?" In order to win sympathy, Hu Weifang couldn't take care of it anymore, and directly showed his balance to the other party?

Really so poor? The Seventh Master's face was full of question marks.

Hu Weifang nodded, indicating that you guessed right, it's just so poor.

"Then you cost me so much tongue, what's the use of you coming to our thrift market, just go to the wholesale market and buy the cheapest big wooden barrel?"

What? Big barrels? As soon as the other party said this, Hu Weifang suddenly had an inspiration: "Who said it wasn't, but I bought a big wooden barrel, and my ingredients are too small and not tall, so it's easy to be submerged in the barrel bathtub." I don't want to buy them a pod to go back? Look at that thing you put under the basin, why don't you give it to me, I'll pick a barrel tub from you, okay? ”

"That thing, I don't know if it was my daughter-in-law or my child who picked it up from outside, it's been under it for many years, you can take it if you want to, but the barrel can't be discounted."

Hearing that the other party took the bait, Hu Weifang's first reaction was to immediately agree, but after thinking about it, if he agreed so simply, it would be difficult for the other party to guarantee that he would not be suspicious, do you want to buy a bathtub or buy this stepping wood of mine?

As a result, Hu Weifang, who has recently soared in acting skills and is estimated to be able to participate in the Oscar statuette competition next year, has also turned on the mode of pretending to be stupid: "This ...... Your ......"

"In this way, I won't cheat you, I will sell it at the market price, and then, it doesn't matter if I give you a piece of footwork." Halfway through the seventh master's speech, he didn't expect the conversation to turn again, and he almost didn't let Hu Weifang spurt out a mouthful of old blood, "However, the broken wood I paddled under the footbath is too worthless, and I can't let you lose it, there is a pure copper small Mazha here, I'll give you that." ”

"Don't don't, how much is your pure copper pony, I'll just use that broken wood as a sitting pouf, that's it, no problem."

"How embarrassing is that, besides, the surface of that thing is uneven, and the little food lady under your hand sits on it, and you can't prick your butt?"

"No, really not." Hu Weifang shook his head again and again, seemingly quite determined. But I silently speculated in my heart, my uncle, my seventh master, don't be polite to me, I didn't really use this piece of agarwood to sit on when I went back.

"Okay, then it's decided, we have a happy cooperation, and we will come often in the future!"

Ten minutes later, Hu Weifang fled and carried a broken wooden barrel bathtub with precious odorless agarwood in the bathtub, and quickly called a portal to return home.

It's also a pleasure to cooperate, and I will come often in the future, if you know that what I took away is a piece of 10,000-year-old agarwood, and you must not chase me to the ends of the earth? Goodbye? Never again!

Over there, the Seventh Master was also puzzled.

"I actually knew the goods and saw the extraordinaryness of that piece of wood, this kid can have a good eye! I still pretend to want to give it to him as a gift, thinking I don't know what he wants is this piece of wood? But what exactly is this wood? What does it do? The master passed it down back then, saying that whoever really fell in love with this piece of wood, and if he had to buy it, he must track the person's whereabouts, and then open the bag to see the follow-up methods. The bag left by the ancestor has not been touched for five generations, and when I arrived at the seventh master, it was unprecedentedly open! ”
