Chapter 13: Incense (II)

After the words fell, she took out a sachet, one of which Zeng Shufei bought, and said:

"Just like this Qingrui incense, I thought about it all night last night, and I didn't guess its material. To be honest, I've been learning incense for three or four years now. I've collected a lot of good material and I think I know something about it. But ever since I smelled your scent, I feel like I've been trying in vain. ”

"Oh, it's an ounce and a half of diced meat, an ounce and a half of jasmine, an ounce and a half of jasson, an ounce and a half of chicken bones, a two-and-a-half ounce of chrysanthemum, a two-and-a-half ounce of Lingling, and a two-and-a-half-ounce magnolia. ”

Wen Gu didn't hide anything, but prescribed a prescription: "Grind these into powder, mix them, and you will have an orchid-like taste." ”

"Orchid?I've always thought that this incense has a special meaning, no wonder, no wonder ......"

The old lady grabbed the sachet and muttered to herself, as if she understood where the faint hint came from. Then she laughed again: "Sister-in-law, even if others know the prescription, they can't emit this fragrance." ”

"Ah......h

This time he was not modest.

The wonder of hypothetical harmony perfume is that it uses seemingly unrelated materials to express unique flavors.

For example, roses are in full bloom and Soho is vibrant. If the two are mixed together, there will be a layer of fragrance. However, the celestial eyes are quiet, and the camphor tree seeds are lonely. If the two were added together, what would it be?

It's simple: once spring is over, the flowers wither.

There are hundreds of spices in the world with different tastes, characteristics, and qualities. There are also thousands of perfumers with different genetics, skills and understandings.

Wen Gu can make hollow valley orchids, which means a lot to the world. The same material that changes a person does not necessarily make.

As for the incense party, Zeng Shufei asked yesterday, but he didn't care. The boy's thoughts are inscribed on the forehead. Now he took the initiative to tell me that it was because the old lady was useless.

The other party also appreciated this gesture, and Grandma Great-Grandma looked at the materials again, and was suddenly taken aback, and said curiously: "Sister-in-law, you don't seem to have aloe vera here?"

"Why do you need aloe vera?" he was stunned.

"Sweetness can't be used......"

The old lady stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking.

Wen Gu blinked his eyes and suddenly said, "Grandma Zeng, I know what you mean. Precious spices, such as sandalwood, dragon, and musk deer, have been revered since ancient times. Now the situation is even more serious, especially when it comes to commercial speculation. It seems that no matter what incense is made of, there is no class without sandalwood. You're a wealthy person who uses strong scents, including what you've learned, what others have gifted, and what merchants recommend. ”

"This cannot be said to be wrong, because there is a genre that is like this, they sweeten according to the way of king, minister, assistant, auxiliary. Agarwood is mellow and elegant, and can adjust the air quality of other materials. It's called June, so they're often used. But there are other schools that like to use ordinary spices, and the results are very good. ”

"Like what?" asked another.

e.g. ......

Gu Shi looked around, his eyes resting on the fruit bowl in front of him. He reached out and gently picked up four pieces of fruit and lined them up on the record. Lychee husks, papaya seeds, orange peels, and pear pits, these four pieces are dried in the air and ground into a powder, then kneaded into pellets with honey and water, and fumigated with fire, called Xiao Sihe

"Kotera River ......"

The old lady muttered, staring at several fruits.

You must know that heavy, sandalwood, dragon, and musk deer are known as the four major incense. One way to do this is to take the same part and call it the final synthetic spice tetra spice.

However, the remnants of these husks dare to be called Little Sihe, and the name alone shows naked mockery and confrontation.

Before it was all over, Wen Gu added: "You pick some cedar seeds, blanch them in boiling water, soak them in wine, seal them for seven days, take them out to dry, and then burn them in a copper furnace to make them fragrant." ”

"Crack the orange leaves, seal them in a small jar with bamboo slices, and steam them over the fire. Then use bamboo slices to make spices and smoke slowly in the oven, smelling fragrant, sweet and cool. ”

"In fact, spices are everywhere, just like the trees in your yard. If the bark falls off naturally and you grind it into a powder, it's a great rosin. ”

"There is no high or low material, just different preferences. Smoked agarwood is the same as smoked tangerine peel. If you have to care about height, you're going to fall. ”

“......“

The old lady listened with her ears, watched with her eyes, and remained silent. After half a ring, she finally sighed: "Sister-in-law, today really opened my eyes!"

......

No wonder she regrets burning incense for years and now knows that it was superficial.

The traditional Shoshima fracture is so severe that few people have survived. The so-called incense in the market is mostly scales and feathers made by merchants in order to cooperate with local tyrants and friends.

Why is it called play?

Don't take it seriously, Lele understands.

Hundreds of thousands of orchids, hundreds of thousands of pairs of walnuts, hundreds of thousands of strange strings of nanzhu, who plays and who is not happy?

Gucci said so much in one breath, and couldn't help but relax. He glanced at the time and said, "Grandma Great, it's not too early." I have something to do at home, so I'm going back. ”

"Ah, you told me to straighten up, but do you want to go?

The old lady joked, "Sister-in-law, I'm really happy today." Thank you for coming. But I had an unexpected invitation. I want to try the incense. ”

"What kind of incense do you want?" he asked.

"As long as you do it well, any incense will do."

Gee!

It was so condescending that he couldn't help but feel warm and said, "Well, when do you want it?"

"Don't worry, when do you do it, when do it for me... Wise!"

The old lady suddenly shouted, and a woman in her thirties came over with a small box in her hand. She reached for it and smiled, "I don't have anything to give, so take this little gift." ”

"Ah, that's not necessary! Great-grandma, you're so nice. You really don't have to!"

Gu Shi hurriedly got up and pushed forward.

"You sit down, sit down, listen to me......"

She clasped her hand and said, "First of all, I liked you as a child. It's a gift. Second, I can't let you help me for free. It's also a thank you gift. Two gifts plus one, you have no reason to decline. ”

"Uh......"

The old man did not dare to say goodbye. He pushed again, very hypocritically. He had to say, "Thank you." ”

......

Wen Gu arrived here at night and didn't get up and leave until after ten o'clock. Even so, Great-Grandma had something to give up. This young man is humble, polite, tolerant, harmonious, which really makes people like him.

The old lady wanted to send a car, but when he saw that the distance was far away, he did not refuse.

It wasn't until I got home, washed, tugged, and laid in bed that I remembered the gift. As a result, when the box was opened, Gucci was dumbfounded. Inside is a gourd and jade incense.

Come on. I just watched it a few more times and people actually noticed!

While admiring the enthusiasm of the old lady, he couldn't help but look it up on the Internet, and then was shocked: what a gadget, it costs 10,000 yuan.

"Alas......"

Wen Gu took the incense, looked left and right, and couldn't laugh or cry: With this 10,000 yuan, can you give it to me directly?
