Chapter 7 He is Wei Jin
Xiao Lan suddenly had the urge to scold, although she didn't really want this fan, but she had just made a plan for a joint purchase, so she stood up unhappily and said, "Boss, there should be a first-come-first-served serving." ”
"Alas, the two girls can be careful, this fan is a good thing, the one with the highest price will get it." The stall owner doesn't care what comes first, what he cares about is the price, there is competition, and it is too late for him to be happy.
"Why, didn't you already negotiate the price just now, you said that you sold it to me for 500 yuan." Seeing the stall owner say this, the girl who grabbed the fan was immediately unhappy, she had just left her wallet in the car, and she didn't expect it to be like this when she went back to get the money.
"Since she negotiated it first, let it be given to her." Xiao Lan didn't want to be more entangled, and used the stall owner as a target, so it was a big deal to pick something else.
"Hmph, she doesn't want it, five hundred yuan, you can't sell it." The woman glanced at Xiao Lan and said displeasedly.
"I'll give six hundred." At this time, another voice sounded in the ears of several people, it was a middle-aged man, his eyes were squinted, and his eyes were full of calculations.
"One hand to pay, the other hand to deliver, I haven't sold it to you yet." The stall owner snatched the fan back and said nonchalantly.
"Then I'll give a thousand." Although the woman is a little angry, but still looks like she is bound to win, her father is the shopkeeper of the antique shop, she has been familiar with it since she was a child, so she got up, came here to find a good thing to make a birthday gift for the boy's mother, but I didn't expect to be almost cut off halfway.
It is said that it was because foreign perfumes flowed into China that these rich ladies and ladies had the idea of making zuò seven-spice fans.
It is impossible to determine who wrote the first seven-incense fan. It is said that some people say that it is a play of a warlord outside, and this play is a seven-incense fan made in order to please the warlord. The second theory is that a princess of a side branch of the Manchu emperor first made zuò. Reputedly. This princess also once stayed abroad and went to Europe.
The first thing to do is to have seven different styles of perfume as raw materials. The person who also makes zuò knows the characteristics of the seven perfumes well. In this way, the seven fragrances can be combined in a reasonable way. In order to make zuò out of the real seven-spice fan.
Of course, with these, this is only the first step, and it is a necessary condition for making zuò seven-incense fans. After these conditions are met. Then it's time to prepare the other ingredients. The ingredients needed are also very particular, although if you can't find all the ingredients, you can make zuò seven incense fans, but the ingredients are incomplete, and it will also make the seven incense fans that come out of zuò greatly discounted. Taking it out is just to make others laugh at it. The rich lady has nothing else but money. Having money naturally can't make people laugh at.
The first of these ingredients is very easy to find, that is, to make Jinan Daming Lake silt. It is the kind of silt that grows with lotus flowers, and what you want is the fragrance of the lotus flowers. The sludge is dug out, dried until it is semi-dry, and made into a round container with the thickness of white radish. It is called the gentleman's cup, and the lotus flower is taken out of the mud without staining the character. It has the same meaning as that gentleman's porcelain. This gentleman's cup was later used to put the fan. It's just that this gentleman's cup can't be dried with fire, and if it is burned, the breath of the lotus inside will be burned. It can't be exposed to the sun, and the exposure to the sun can also damage the lotus breath in it. Instead, the gentleman's cup must be dried in the shade in the room.
Then all you need is water, and the seven perfumes are simply mixed together. Not only is it a waste of money, but it is also not a good way to immerse itself in the fan. So you have to use a medium. This is where water is used to blend seven perfumes. This is water, so you can't use ordinary water. Instead, it is necessary to use the snow water turned into snow on the peony of Caozhou Mansion. What you want is the kingly spirit of peony. The embroidery is ambitious, the lotus is also ambitious, the two together, no one is convinced, then there must be a set of raw materials. This ingredient is Ruixue on the peony.
At this time, it is time to begin, take out the prepared seven perfumes according to the proportions, and then mix them evenly with a bowl of snow water. What exactly this ratio is is clear has not been handed down. Pour the seven teacups mixed with snow water and the seven spices of perfume into the gentleman's cup. In this way, the gentleman's cup is probably almost full, and at this time, you can throw the fan prepared in advance, which must be made entirely of bamboo, and no other ingredients can be used.
After throwing the fan into it, it should be wrapped in lotus leaves, put it in a cool place and wait, when the gentleman's cup let the seven-spice liquid in it be soaked, when it is considered a success, at this time, it can be called a seven-spice fan.
This seven-incense fan has one of the biggest characteristics, and it is also a reason why everyone loves it, that is, it does not emit fragrance by itself, even if you place it in the room for three or five years, it is the same, but when people sweat in the palm of their hands in summer, the seven-incense fan in the hand will emit a kind of fragrance that is not there. This is an aroma that no perfume master can reconcile, which is refreshing and fascinating.
"This girl, I'm afraid you just heard it wrong! I'm talking about five thousand, but not five hundred. He suddenly realized that this may be a good thing, even if it can't be sold today, it doesn't matter, he still has to find a connoisseur friend to help him take a look.
"Five thousand? Why don't you grab it! The woman was so angry that she stomped her feet, her eyes were red, she was very aggrieved, and the big leak that was about to be in her hands flew like this.
"Xu Qing, forget it, I didn't plan to let you send something." The boy who was called Wei Jin stepped forward and grabbed the girl, shook his head and sighed.
"Five thousand? Then I don't want it either. The middle-aged man shook his head and left.
"You don't want it anymore? So boss, can we talk about the price? Five thousand is okay, and I'm planning to pick a small gift for the leader, but you can give me two small things, after all, I have to prepare the props over there. "Not to mention whether this fan is worth the price, five thousand yuan is really nothing to Xiao Lan, and what she cares about is not this fan.
Wei Jin was about to take Xu Qing away, but Xu Qing was furious when she heard Xiao Lan say this, she thought to herself, if it weren't for this woman, the fan would have been hers a long time ago, and she wouldn't be embarrassed in front of her sweetheart, so she rushed to Xiao Lan and asked in a cold voice, "Do you want to buy it?" ”
"Well, don't you want it anymore? If you want five thousand, give it to you. Xiao Lan turned around and said impatiently, she was thinking about whether to give up this fan directly and buy something else, and bring this Shizhi with her, anyway, no one may find out the mystery.
"Xiao Lan?" Wei Jin only saw the appearance of the girl in front of him clearly at this time, it was actually his high school classmate, in fact, he looked at the back just now, and he just thought that she should not appear here alone, so he didn't dare to recognize it.
"Huh? You are, yes, you're Wei Jin, long time no see. Xiao Lan thought about it for a long time before she remembered that this man was her high school classmate, and he had only sat at the front and back tables when he was in school, and he didn't talk much, and he couldn't be called familiar.
"Well, I'm Wei Jin, why are you here? Do you want to buy something to give away? I can introduce you to some good shops. "Wei Jin knows Xiao Lan's family background, and he is definitely not a person who can be cheap, I'm afraid he doesn't know how to do it.
"No, one of my college classmates is now doing drama work in the crew, so I asked me to help me find some props and mail her over." The stall owners are all pricking up their ears here, and Xiao Lan naturally still says this.
Five thousand yuan is really a lot, the stall owner only spent two hundred when he received this fan, if he felt that if he could really sell five thousand, it would be a great value, so he asked a little anxiously: "Little girl, do you want this thing to be good, if you really look good, I will wrap it for you, and I will give you two more small things, which are excellent for making props." ”
"Brother Wei Jin, do you know each other?" Xu Qing asked with a wary gaze, and at the same time suppressed the thought of destruction.
"Well, it's a high school classmate." Wei Jin replied not too enthusiastically, he knew what Xu Qing meant, and he also knew that his mother was very supportive of the two of them being together, but he really didn't feel anything about it, and no one knew that there had been a person living in his heart all these years, an impossible person.
"Okay, then put it on me, just send two things too little, three things!" Xiao Lan said as she took out the money.
Naturally, there is no problem in sending three things, but where to choose these three things, the stall owner has divided them in advance, but Shi Zhi happened to be among them, so Xiao Lan didn't care, and finally chose a bamboo pen holder, a jade wrench, and Shi Zhi, who the boss was not very optimistic about, because this Shi Zhi was not collected by him with money, but was picked up in a village, and he just thought the shape was very good-looking.
"Did you come by car? I'll help you get the stuff? Wei Jin looked at the big bag in Xiao Lan's hand and asked gentlemanly.
Xiao Lan just wanted to say that she didn't need to, but suddenly thought that in the last days, Liu Shaofan mentioned the name Wei Jin, and he said that Wei Jin had become a wood-based supernatural and could draw talismans to restrain zombies, so she changed her mind and said: "Then trouble you, by the way, I remember when I was in school, I heard that your family sold the four treasures of the study in Panjiayuan, I don't know if you still sell it?" I was planning to buy some for my grandfather's friend. ”
