The group returned home victoriously, and their emotions were high along the way, laughing and laughing about the ugliness of the dog's family just now, He Dahong was still holding Xiao Zhao's brother Qi Ran at first, and later he was also infected by his nephew and niece, and also followed the discussion, saying that she had been married to his family for so many years, and today was the happiest day.

When they arrived home, He Hongyun and his family were anxiously waiting for their news at He Hongshan's house, and they were relieved to see Da Hong bring their daughter back, and then asked them worriedly about the situation at Gouzi's house just now.

Qinglian stopped everyone, she alone told everything just now, she spoke clearly and vividly, which made the He Hongshan brothers laugh.

The eldest lady laughed out of tears and complained softly: "Look at you little Hades, who have rectified the family, how can this in-laws meet in the future." ”

He Dahong gritted the nail and said: "When we meet, maybe we won't see each other again in the future, and if the dog doesn't come in a few days, I will go to him, and I will get a divorce quickly." ”

The virtuous lady nervously went to see the man and the little uncle, He Hongyun sighed and didn't speak, He Hongshan said with a gloomy face: "Look at the dog's performance, anyway, my He Hongshan family can live with my sister and niece." ”

The Qingjun brothers also said that they are willing to adopt their aunts for the rest of their lives. He Dahong was moved to tears.

Qinglian said: "You are all amorous, how capable our aunt is, and I still use you to support her." ”

Everyone laughed and said yes.

He Dahong said modestly: "I just have a lot of strength, what can I do." ”

Qinglian looked down at Gu's rough but slender hands, and remembered a scene from her childhood. She asked, "Auntie, do you remember when you used to make incense with your grandmother?" ”

He Dahong's eyes lit up, looked at his niece and said with a smile: "Why did you think of this?" Hehe, you were only a few years old when I made incense, and the little brain melon is the spirit, and your memory is so good. ”

Qinglian remembered that her grandmother had a stunt for making incense, and the color of the incense she made was bright, and it was lit with a strange fragrance. At that time, the incense made by grandma was in short supply, and she relied on this craft to support a large family, and later the business became speculative, and the wooden frame for grandma to make incense was dismantled, and the fragrant dill was also torn and burned, and the stunt of making incense was buried.

This reform and opening up, allowed to do business, the temple is also allowed to burn incense and worship the Buddha, why not let my aunt pick up this craft again, aunt was a good helper of grandma, her hands are very dexterous, pull up a stick of incense to see the people dazzled.

Moreover, Qinglian knew that in later generations, incense was not only used to worship the Buddha, not only the literati burned incense in the living room and bedroom to increase the mood, but also the major hotels also placed incense burners, and spare incense of various flavors. If my aunt can inherit and carry forward the craft of making incense, it will definitely be a great business opportunity.

Qinglian said solemnly: "Aunt, I remember the plot of you making incense with your grandmother very clearly. You know the ingredients for grandma's incense, but now that the reform and opening up is allowed to do business, why don't you stop making incense? If you can make incense before the New Year, you can not only take advantage of the New Year to open your reputation, but also make a small amount of money. ”

Incense cannot be said "buy", but "please" to show respect for the gods.

Her proposal made everyone listen. He Hongshan is also close to Zhu Zhechi, seeing that his daughter can turn garlic into vegetables and sell them for money, his thinking has also been opened. He was the first to interface: "Don't say, this is really a reliable business, this incense is burned by everyone, and the fastidious people still burn it on the fifteenth day of the new year, you see that we don't make incense nearby, they all go to the township store to please, and they are often out of stock." ”

The lady who burned incense on the fifteenth day of the first month interjected: "The incense is still very rough, the color is not good-looking, and the taste is not fragrant, how can there be good incense made by our mother." The incense made by our mother is a little fragrant, and the yard is full of fragrance. It's just that I'm very stupid, I haven't learned to make incense, and naturally I don't know what spices are added to my mother's incense hehe. ”

He Hongyun shook his head and said ashamedly: "Mother's craft is only learned by my sister, and neither of us brothers has learned it." ”

He Dahong's heart gradually became clear: back then, she not only mastered the skills of making incense, but also knew the matching of spices! Think about what my niece said is a way to make money, the incense made by my mother back then was very famous, if she can show her mother's craftsmanship again, she doesn't believe it is not popular.

She suddenly raised her legs, picked up the flashlight and ran out, everyone was stunned, and Qinglian followed her aunt to the utility room.

Gu tugged at the corner of the utility room for a while, and then Qinglian found a gray plastic cylinder with a diameter of seven or eight centimeters and a length of seven or eight inches under the light pillar of the flashlight, and there was a small round eye at the root of the cylinder.

Qinglian understood: This is the tool used by grandma and aunt to make incense back then.

He Dahong stroked the cylinder with his hand, and said emotionally: "Qinglian, back then, your grandmother used it to make incense and feed our family, because of your grandmother's craft, our life when we were young was better than any family in the village, we had new clothes to wear, and sugar to eat, but unfortunately, later, your grandmother's craft affected the whole family, saying that she was engaged in speculation, and she was not allowed to do it, and she was actually criticized......

Qinglian was afraid that her aunt would be sad, so she hurriedly patted her aunt on the shoulder and said, "Auntie, don't mention those sad things, it's all over, if you can pick up grandma's stunt of making incense again, and make your life better, grandma is happy to know it." ”

Gu wiped her eyes, nodded and said, "What I Qinglian said is true." It's good to have this tube, tomorrow I will let your father make a wooden shelf for pressing incense, let's go to the market to buy elm bark, and then rush to the market to pull a few meters of fine sand cloth to make fragrant dizzle, and prepare the spices, and I will start making incense the day after tomorrow. ”

Gu Yin's eyes were shining with excitement, and her tone was pleasant.

Qinglian likes her aunt so much at this moment. She nodded heavily and said softly, "Auntie, I'll help my aunt prepare together tomorrow." ”

Next, He Dahong completely forgot the troubles and entanglements she was in, she wiped the incense tube with a damp cloth, and cleaned the utility room overnight, because there was no extra house at home, she could only make incense in the utility room.

Qinglian helped her move everything that could be moved under the grass shed outside, and He Hongshan went to the yard to find a suitable piece of wood, and prepared to take it to the carpenter teacher in the village tomorrow to make an incense shelf for her sister.

Finally packed up, He Dahong sat in the quilt and refused to sleep, pondering the proportion of ingredients to make incense. In fact, the general incense ingredients are very simple, that is, elm bark is beaten into noodles and sifted sawdust and a piece, but the reason why grandma makes the fragrance is strange, and the incense strips have a delicate texture and golden color, of course, grandma has her knack.

The smell is that the grandmother added the roots of another plant to the incense, and this plant is everywhere. It has no aroma of its own, but when combined with elm bark and sawdust, it gives off a strange aroma.

The color is bright and golden, and it is the dragon yellow that grandma added a little smoked color in advance when she was making fragrant noodles.

The delicate texture of the incense strips is just right with the proportion of water in the incense noodles.

He Dahong talked to her niece about every step of making incense, and finally she said: "I believe that I can give full play to your grandmother's craftsmanship and make a good fragrance." ”

Qinglian looked at her aunt like a child's full of ambition, and her heart set off layers of heat, she seemed to see her aunt's appearance before she got married, she smiled and said, "I believe my aunt will do it." ”

It was still dark in the house, and Qinglian got up, because she had to go to the market to buy elm bark for incense.

When Qinglian got up and came out of the room, everyone was stunned: under the dim light, Gu had already washed up, put on the new gown, new pants, and new shoes she bought for her, and the whole person was completely new.

"Aunt, you're so beautiful!" Qinglian ran over with an exclamation.

He Dahong shyly disregarded his niece: "You stupid girl, how can you laugh at your aunt so much, how old are you, and you are still beautiful." ”

Qinglian hugged Gu Sajiao: "Well, Gu is really beautiful, and besides, you are ten years younger all of a sudden, it's not that I praise you, you can find another young man." ”

Now He Dahong exploded, raised his hand and slapped his niece on the head, and scolded in his mouth: "You dead girl, the more you talk, the more you don't talk like it, see if I don't sue your father for a while, let him beat you......"

He couldn't stop laughing as he spoke.

Qinglian covered her head and pouted with her aunt and said, "Hmph, you sue?" I still complained to my father, so I said that you beat me and let him beat you. ”

The two aunts and nephews laughed together.

At this time, He Hongshan shouted softly outside: "The poached egg is ready, hurry up and eat it!" ”
