Chapter Eighty-Nine: Incense Beads

No matter what Xiaoya's original intention was, the matter of going to the girls' school was decided. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But the only women's school in the county is not something you can go to if you want to, in addition to the high tuition fees, the family must also have a certain status.

Heiya thought about it, let's go find Brother Qu.

He is the head of the county government, equivalent to the director of the public security bureau in his previous life, so don't bother Sister Jin for such a small matter.

No matter what time and space it is, it has always been easy to do things with relationships, and I don't know how Brother Qu is active. Anyway, two days later, Xu led Xiaoya to the school to report.

"It costs five taels of silver a month here, and you have to study hard when you go, you know?" Xu Shi pulled the little girl and told him, "Don't quarrel with other people, if you have anything, look for a female gentleman." “

"Okay, mother, it's going to be too late to go." Heiya looked at Xiaoya with a helpless look and smiled to solve the siege.

"Our mother is getting more and more verbose, and I said the same thing twice last night." The little girl whispered in her sister's ear.

"You'll find out in another ten years." The black girl nodded Xiaoya's forehead, "I don't know the blessing in the blessing." ”

The little girl was wearing new clothes, and she wore two beaded flowers of the same color on her head, and her heart was very beautiful.

The clothes are made of good materials sent by Sister Jin, and the Xu family was reluctant to use them, but the black girl persuaded her twice, worried that Xiaoya would be laughed at in the school, so she ruthlessly made two bodies for her.

Thinking that the eldest son and daughter now have their own workshop, they can't dress too badly, so they simply made one for the black girl.

The clothes were taken outside to find someone to make, and another person bought a pair of embroidered shoes, which cost a total of eight taels of silver.

"Why is it more expensive to make clothes than to buy cloth, and two bodies cost three taels of silver." Xu snorted in distress.

"You are a good material, we can't buy it in our county, otherwise you give me three feet of cloth, and I will give you free of the manual fee." The proprietress of the garment shop said with a smile.

Xu Shi hurriedly paid, "You said so, why can I change the cloth for you." ”

Heiya was originally smiling, but looking at Xu's back, she was a little sad, her father hadn't told her mother about the secret room, if she knew that there was so much money in the family, wouldn't she be so distressed about the silver.

sent Xiaoya to the school, secretly stuffed a purse for the female gentleman who took Xiaoya in, and gave a few words of advice, before leaving with Xu's apprehension.

"I don't know if Xiaoya can adapt to it inside, and whether she will be bullied." Xu said worriedly.

"Don't worry, just Xiaoya's spicy energy that beats people when she lifts a broom, who dares to bully her." Heiya comforted Xu's family, in fact, she was also a little uneasy in her heart, Xiaoya was a girl who grew up in a mountain village, can she get along with the squeamish ladies of those rich officials?

But it's all delivered, and now it's in vain to think about it.

Xu went home directly, Heiya needs to use bamboo charcoal to make eyebrow powder, and is going to go to the city to ask where there are veterans who specialize in burning charcoal.

Walking on the street, I feel that there have been more beggars recently, all of them are yellow and thin, and some are carrying tattered quilts on their backs.

Only after listening to passers-by mentioned that it turned out that the place near Jiujiang was flooded, and those people had nowhere to return home, and they lacked food and clothing, so some of them wandered here one after another.

"We're far away, and those who can go here are considered to be in good health, but I heard that some places are miserable, starving to death, and dying of disease, in patches." The person next to him shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention such a tragic thing.

Before the black girl came, the next province had just experienced a major flood, and in the face of natural disasters, no one was insignificant, not to mention the ancient times where there was no machinery and only manpower.

She wanted to buy some food for these poor people, but she was afraid of being robbed, "Bear with it first, and talk about it when my brother comes back in the evening, the county government will definitely find a way to settle these people." “

"Chang Tai breathed to cover up his tears, mourning the difficulties of the people's livelihood" Heiya suddenly remembered Qu Yuan's two sentences, it is not easy to be a common man, and it is even more difficult to be a common man in ancient times.

"I must buy more properties, keep a few more back-ups, and resolutely not let myself and my family fall into such a miserable end." Heiya thought silently, forgiving her for being too small-hearted and could only pretend to be the person she cared about. She will sympathize with and help these people, but it is all based on the premise of not harming her own interests.

I originally wanted to contact the charcoal burning craftsman, but now I don't have the heart to go, so I simply went to the spice shop, bought some spices, and then inquired about Xie Ziyu's news by the way.

I've long wanted to buy some spices to make fragrant beads and fragrant cakes, but I haven't taken care of it, and now I don't have the heart to do research, so I just make more, whether it's for personal use or giving it away, it's good in the future.

After buying spices, and learning that there was still no information about Xie Ziyu, Heiya was a little stunned, if it wasn't for the small courtyard that she had rented a few days ago, her brothers saw the books and materials he had sent before, and shouted in surprise, she almost forgot about this somewhat inexplicable teenager. But after walking for so long, I don't know if I will send a message back, which makes Heiya feel a little uneasy, it can't be that something happened.

The black girl returned home full of thoughts, slowly washed and dried the spices, and used the ability to decompose them all, adding the decomposed oil and water to half of the powder, and the fragrance beads that came out of this way will taste much stronger.

Light a small stove and heat the honey in a small porcelain pot with water.

This process is called honey refining.

The honey is continuously concentrated by heat, and when it is concentrated to the point that it can be condensed into a lump of water, it is considered to be refined.

Stir the spices well, pour more than half into the honey, stir slowly, then reduce the heat to the minimum, and let the spices and honey slowly blend in a warm temperature.

After half an hour, continue stirring, and then knead it into balls or cakes with your hands.

When everything is kneaded, put all the meatballs or fragrant cakes into a small porcelain jar, cover them with the remaining powder, and put them in the cellar to mature.

After three to six months, the spices blend and penetrate each other, and it is considered to be done.

When you use it, take out a pill and put it in the incense burner, and slowly bake it with charcoal fire underneath, and the flavor of the incense pill will come out.

This kind of black girl is called Shouyang princess plum blossom fragrance today, Shouyang princess because of its plum blossom makeup has been passed down through the ages, and is respected as "plum god", this plum blossom fragrance and spring letter in the snow, spring news is called "plum fragrance three uniques" by the incense making of all dynasties.

The main materials are agarwood, sandalwood, musk, Huoxiang, tonka, dipterocarp and so on.

Heiya only knew the formula in her previous life, and she had never had the opportunity to do it, and today she didn't know what was going on, thinking of Xie Ziyu, and suddenly remembered this incense.

That thing obviously looks like a two-way thing.,Where has a little to do with plum blossoms.。

The black girl shook her head, but she had done everything, so be it.

When the cellar is ready, keep a copy, and think of it as a gift for him to make a bracelet in return.
