Although Feng Lingxi was curious about the identities of Long Yi and Long Qi, her intuition told her that at least the current Long Yi and Long Yi were trustworthy.

So she is willing to wait, after all, she is too weak now, and there are too many places to borrow.

After knowing about the affairs of Hongfu, Feng Lingxi decided to go to the spice shop opened by Hongfu to have a look.

The spice shop opened by Hongfu is decent, and the plaque is written with the four big characters of "Hong's Xiangfang", a piece that has long faded, and the windward cover of the word "incense" on it is gently swaying in the wind.

Except for a thin, just-crowned man in the spice shop, there was only a woman with a woman's head.

The woman is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, slightly tall, plain clothes, white melon seed face, and a pair of tall eyebrows make her look very heroic.

"What spices do you need?"

As soon as Feng Lingxi walked into the spice shop, the woman in the shop greeted her, with a smile on her eyebrows, and she couldn't see the person who had just quarreled with someone just now.

"I'm just going to take a look." After Feng Lingxi bowed his head, he looked around.

Even though she did not show any intention to buy, the woman did not smile, but kindly led them to introduce the spices in the store.

This shop is full of incense-making raw materials, including Suhe oil, agarwood, sandalwood, cloves, official cinnamon, rue, Huoxiang, Jiaxiang ......, although there are nearly 100 kinds of incense-making raw materials, but in this woman's mouth, it is like a number of treasures.

Looking at how familiar she is with this spice shop, Feng Lingxi feels that either she likes spices very much, or she likes the way of doing business very much.

"Excuse me, why don't you make your own incense and sell it?" After Feng Lingxi roughly understood the spice shop, he asked curiously, because the price of incense and raw materials is not so much different, who doesn't use incense now?

Regarding Feng Lingxi's question, Hong's face showed a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to make it, but some precious incense recipes can earn silver, but the precious incense recipes are in the hands of many incense-making families, and outsiders don't know about it at all."

And ordinary incense recipes are already too man-made, and the profit is not much, so it is better to sell some raw materials. ”

Rare incense recipes?

Feng Lingxi's heart moved, and then frowned slightly, she knew a few rare incense recipes, but it was a little insufficient to support an incense shop.

After a little hesitation, Feng Lingxi still said to Hong, who had been accompanying him: "Please wrap me some tonka, herbs, agarwood, sandalwood, fennel, jataman, cloves, borneol, musk and other spices, each serving is two or two." ”

Hearing that the spices picked by Feng Lingxi seemed to be able to synthesize incense, Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, but because the incense recipe belonged to the secret that was not passed on, it was not easy to ask.

Feng Lingxi waited for the Hong family to wrap the spices for her, and then led Rui Xing and Long Qi back.

When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Feng Lingxi explained to Long Qi: "You go and keep an eye on Hong's Xiangfang these days, if someone comes to the door to make it difficult, you will send it away, and then ask Hong's, is that Xiangfang sold?" ”

Hearing this, Long Yi didn't ask anything, nodded and turned to leave.

Rui Xing has recovered from the blow that Yan Shikang gave her, and there is another reason why she used to have great illusions about Yan Shikang, that is, the days of her and Feng Lingxi in the Hou Mansion were too difficult in the past, and she always hoped to fly out of this Hou Mansion, no matter what way.

But now that the days are getting better and better, Ruixing's obsession with being able to leave the house is much smaller, but she suddenly found that she was too naïve before, too easy to trust people, and let the girl worry about her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Ruixing, who had figured it out, suddenly became much more mature and stable, although her mood would still be affected, but she tried her best to cheer herself up and asked Feng Lingxi.

"Girl, what are you buying so many spices for?"

"Incense making." Feng Lingxi's eyes were full of brilliance.

"Incense?" Rui Xing was a little sluggish: "The girl can make incense?" In my impression, Feng Lingxi had never been exposed to anything related to incense at all.

Even the incense that is usually used can rarely be distributed in the Hanlu Temple.

Feng Lingxi didn't want to say more, so he changed the topic: "Probably, you can also help when the incense is made." ”

"Huh? Yes. Rui Xing nodded blankly, and in her heart she had already decided that the girl should not know how to make incense, how difficult it is to make incense, if it was easy, those incense cakes, incense tablets, incense pills and so on would not be sold so expensive.

However, Rui Xing has already made up her mind, even if she fails in the end, she must praise the girl, after all, the girl has worked hard to make a living.

For this reason, Rui Xing also deliberately avoided Feng Lingxi, and worriedly pulled Long Yi aside to tell Long Yiqian.

Long Yi raised his eyebrows at Feng Lingxi's request to make incense, and then didn't say anything but nodded to indicate that he knew, and in the dead of night, after a bamboo whistle, a note flew out of the Anguo Marquis Mansion and went to the Huainan Palace.

Feng Lingxi naturally didn't know that his every move was placed on the other person's desk one by one.

She is now wholeheartedly preparing to make her Qingyuan incense.

Qingyuan incense is relatively easy to make in various incense recipes, and the tools only need a small basin, a long spoon and rice paper, a mill, and a medicine spoon.

She weighed the tonka, Huoxiang, Jatamansi, fennel, agarwood, sandalwood, and cloves in equal portions, and soaked the sandalwood in green tea water for three days.

After the sandalwood is soaked and dried, it is crushed by Long Yi with a mill, and then all the spices are used to scoop into powder, and Feng Lingxi additionally adds borneol and a little musk.

Ruixing is responsible for boiling the wild honey found, waiting for the honey to thicken, add the spice powder that has already been licked, stir well, knead into soybean-sized balls, and place them in a tray to wait for natural drying.

Rui Xiang followed the whole incense-making process, and she thought that Feng Lingxi's incense could not be made.

Now seeing the nearly 100 incense balls that have been dried in the tray, Rui Xing still doesn't believe his eyes, but when Rui Xing smells the smell of Qingyuan incense on the tray, he can't help frowning.

It doesn't smell good, does it......

"Girl, is this really what you call Qingyuan Xiang?" Rui Xing was a little hesitant.

Long Yi doesn't understand incense, but I heard that incense smells refreshing, if this smell is wrong......

Feng Lingxi smiled lightly, she picked out a Qingyuan incense pill, took out the incense burner that had been prepared a long time ago, burned the small pieces of charcoal thoroughly, and then put it in the incense burner and filled it with fine incense ash.

She poked some air holes in the incense ash to let the heat in the charcoal slowly come out, and then placed a small porcelain piece on it to prevent the fire, and then placed the incense pills on the porcelain piece to prevent the fire.

During the whole incense burning process, Feng Lingxi's movements seem to be smooth, there is stillness in movement, there is movement in stillness, ups and downs, and there is no arrogance or impatience in the staggered, giving people elegance and peace and tranquility.

This performance made Long Yi on the side feel that even if the six girls did not make Qingyuan incense, they would be better than many boudoir women in Beijing with this set of incense.

But......

A clear fragrance came to you.

This fragrance is amazing, there are warm, fragrant, and cool, I feel very contradictory, but it makes people have a long aftertaste.

"This ...... This ......" Ruixing's eyes widened.

Long Yi's gaze at Feng Lingxi was more complicated, this fragrance was a little different from the Qingyuan incense on the market, and smelling it made people more calm.

Ruixing, who came back to her senses, couldn't help but rub her eyes, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and helped her throughout the whole process, she wouldn't believe the scene in front of her.

Is it that simple to make incense? She couldn't help but wonder.

At this moment, Long Yi came back from outside.

As soon as Long Qi entered the Hanlu Courtyard, he came to the incense burner, and his eyes were amazed, staring at Hong's Xiangfang every day for the past few days, and his understanding of incense was much higher than that of Long Yi and Ruixing.

She knows how popular this incense is in the market.

Moreover, she was present when she bought these incense-making raw materials, and it only took five taels of silver to buy the raw materials, but looking at the finished products made here, this is simply a huge profit!

But there's better news to tell.

Long Xi had some guesses about Feng Lingxi asking her to keep an eye on Hong's Xiangfang, and she felt that Miss Feng Liu would definitely like to hear the good news.

"Girl, today Hong's Xiangfang has someone to come to the door to force debts, after the subordinates sent people away, they told the Hong family what the girl meant, she said that she wanted to see the girl, and the subordinates looked at her and showed her meaning, so she should have agreed."

Feng Lingxi bowed his head, and there were some guesses about what the Hong family meant by wanting to see her, but he would have to wait until he saw someone.

She picked up two Qingyuan incense pills from the tray where the incense pills were hung and handed them to Long Qi, and explained: "You can take these two Qingyuan incense sticks to the Hong family to see, and tell her that I will come to the door at noon tomorrow." ”

Long Yi took the two Qingyuan incense pills and went to Hong's incense workshop.

In Hong's Xiangfang, the Xiangfang has closed, and Hong's slightly pale face is worrying about his thoughts, and those debt collectors have come to the door again today, and she knows that it won't last long.

But if they use Xiangfang to pay off their debts, what will she and Xuan'er rely on to survive in the future, so many debts suddenly popped up that made their aunts and nephews anxious, and they didn't know if there were other debts.

She also didn't know why her grandfather owed so much money, and where did all the almost astronomical amount of money go?

Today, Long Xi appeared again to help her get rid of those debt collectors, which was like a ray of light for her to see hope, but she didn't know Feng Lingxi, she wanted to meet people and talk about it.

"Squeak-" The hidden door was pushed open, and Long Qi's sturdy figure appeared in Hong's incense shop.

Hong raised his head, and when he saw Long Qi, his eyes burst with light, and his eyes were full of hope.

Long Yi is usually a man of few words, she shook the two Qingyuan incense pills she was holding at random in her hand, and said to the Hong family: "This is my son-in-law asked me to bring it to you." ”

At this time, the Hong family moved his gaze to Long Qi's spread hand.

This is...... Incense pills?

Hong stepped forward quickly, gently pinched a Qingyuan incense pill, looked at it carefully, sniffed it gently, and then couldn't wait to try the incense...... The familiar fragrance came.

"Sure enough." Hong murmured, with excitement in his eyes.

Then, Hong's eyes burned a little hotter, and she looked at Long Yi expectantly, originally she thought that the possibility was relatively low, but now the other party sent two Qingyuan incense pills to her, does that mean that it can meet what she thinks in her heart?

As soon as he thought of this, Hong's heart pounded faster and faster.
