Chapter 66: Fragrance
Chen Luo asked lightly, but it was like thunder in Dr. Feng's ears.
He couldn't figure out what Chen Luo was going to do?
If he just asked him to treat the emperor's illness, Chen Luo went to the pharmacy to invite people after the soldiers, and asked Lord Jin to imprison him, but after giving him a dismount, Chen Luo seemed to be in a hurry again, and left him aside and ignored him, as if there was no such thing.
What is Chen Luo's idea?
What happened to the emperor?
Now Chen Luo suddenly asked him if he could make incense, he couldn't help but turn and turn in his heart, which seemed to be light and light, but in fact he said cautiously and cautiously: "This recipe for making incense is my wife's dowry, and it was brought by her old man from her mother's house. I don't know what Lord Chen is asking for? ”
"Oh!" Chen Luo picked up the teacup and blew the floating leaves on the tea, smiled disappretently, and turned his head to Shang Haidao in response, "I think Master Chaoyun, don't let him go around, just stay in Dajue Temple alive, and make me a few pieces of incense that he is good at." ”
He also instructed Dr. Feng, "If you know how to make incense, make a few for me." ”
Then he sighed, "Don't I still have an errand on my shoulders?" You can't just care about your own grievances, whether I live or die! ”
Chaoyun's eyes lit up as he listened, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and smile.
What did Chen Luo say just now.
He was ordered by the emperor to come to Dajue Temple to see if the incense he made was well deserved.
God is still on his side.
If he can make incense that the emperor also likes, no matter how many people he kills, whether he has plagiarized other people's inheritance, or what grievances he has with Dr. Feng, it is not a problem, and it is no longer a matter of threatening his life.
Chaoyun stood up excitedly, and said excitedly: "Master Chen, don't worry, I will definitely not walk around until this matter is decided." What incense do you want me to make? I'll make it for you in a few days? If you have any favorite incense, you can also tell me. I am quite talented in making incense, and ordinary incense cannot overwhelm me. ”
Doctor Feng's face naturally didn't look good when he heard this.
He was even more worried that Chen Luo would protect Chaoyun in order to complete the emperor's mission, but it seemed a little inappropriate for him to change his words at this time.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to speak well for a while.
Wang Xi looked anxious and glanced at Feng Gao.
However, Feng Gao was also full of anxiety but looked helpless.
Wang Xi couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This may be what her grandmother used to call "fate".
She closed her eyes, raised her hand timidly, and said weakly like a lamb that suddenly broke into the wolves: "Chen, Lord Chen, I will make incense." May I? ”
Everyone was stunned.
Dr. Feng regretted it even more.
He hesitated for a while, and Wang Xi, who was protected by him, jumped out.
He owes the Wang family, and I'm afraid he won't be able to pay it off for the rest of his life.
Doctor Feng shook his head bitterly.
Chen Luo's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said, "Then there is Miss Lao!" Help me use the incense recipe in Mr. Feng's hand, and make the golden incense and yaxiang I just said. ”
Wang Xi Yingying bent her knees and bowed.
Chaoyun's eyes turned red.
Chen Luo: Is this to be prepared? If something happens to him, is there anyone else who can make incense like him?
"Lord Chen!" He snapped, "Would you like to give it a try?" Making incense is not something that can be learned overnight. If the system is good, it is even more diligence, talent, and experience, which are all indispensable. ”
After he finished speaking, he also glanced at Wang Xi.
As if to say, what good fragrance can a delicate young girl like her make?
Chen Luo touched his chin, pondered for a moment unexpectedly Wang Xi, nodded approvingly, and said, "What you said also makes sense." Why don't you help me make a burner of incense here? “
Chaoyun was overjoyed.
Wang Xi was secretly angry.
Who is this Chen Luo helping?
What is he doing here?
It's just that he has already spoken, but she can't refute it in front of so many people, so she can only get up with a smile and respectfully respond "yes".
Chaoyun gloated and helped Wang Xi prepare the tools for making incense.
There was a noisy voice outside, and a man's voice came: "All the commanders, humble Yue Peng asks to see!" ”
The voice, deafening, like thunder, startled Shang Hai and the others, and their eyes showed a little panic.
Wang Xi looked at it and pouted, feeling that Shang Hai was pretending to be a little too much.
Although Yue Peng's voice was loud, it wouldn't scare Shang Hai like this, right?
Chen Luo had no intention of inviting Yue Peng in, so he responded indifferently and said, "You guys go and rest first, and I'll talk about it when I'm done here." ”
Yue Peng responded "yes" in a thick voice.
Chen Luo said to Shang Hai: "Do you want to get a place for this young lady to make incense again?" ”
A tone that is afraid of Chaoyun making trouble.
Can Shang Hai not agree?
A hint of hideousness flashed across Chaoyun's face.
It's just that no one is going to pay attention to him.
Wang Xi was taken by Yue Peng and went to a courtyard not far from the courtyard where Chaoyun made incense.
Feng Gao wanted to accompany him, but Chen Luo refused.
He invited Shang Hai and Shang Shan to go out to talk, leaving Dr. Feng and Feng Gao and Chaoyun in the wing.
*
Wang Xi, who was taken to a strange courtyard, didn't know what was going on in Chaoyun's wing.
Chen Luo asked her to bring a maid to serve by her side, and she brought the most read Baizhu.
When she arrived at the wing, she wrote a list for Baizhu and asked her to pass it on to Yue Peng. Yue Peng brought her spices according to her list. She made a furnace of soothing incense with white aconite, thatch, sandalwood, angelica, fennel, and sweet pine according to the incense recipe in her memory.
Atractylodes weighed Wang Xi on the side to ensure that the dose would not deviate too much.
Wang Xi couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "If I knew that Chen Luo was here, we would have come back another day." When the incense is finished and it gets dark, we don't want to go back. ”
Baizhu felt that their young lady's heart was so wide, shouldn't she be more worried about Chen Luo turning her face and not recognizing people at this time?
She was so nervous that her hands were shaking.
There was a knock at the door outside.
The door is not closed!
Wang Xi pondered, and looked up to see Chen Luoyushu standing in front of the door in the wind, knocking on the door frame.
Count him a gentleman!
Wang Xi slandered in his heart, but his face was not obvious, he smiled and blessed Chen Luo, and shouted "Lord Chen"
Chen Luo smiled and nodded, very politely, and walked in while saying, "Don't disturb Miss Wang."
Wang Xi couldn't help but slander again.
I said you bothered me, would you continue to stand at the door and not come in?
"Nothing!" She smiled and greeted Chen Luo, "I have prepared the spices and am preparing to mix them!" Speaking of this, her smile became a little sweeter, "By the way, I haven't thanked you yet, last time I bothered Qinggu to help me send the sideburns back." It was also in time for the Dragon Boat Festival, which happened to correct my name. Thank you very much! ”
She felt the need to formally thank Chen Luo.
Chen Luo said in surprise: "Correct name? Did something happen? ”
Wang Xi was taken aback.
Didn't he deliberately choose the Dragon Boat Festival to send her sideburns?
Then don't mention it yourself.
Looking at him like this, at least the sideburns were found and sent by him.
This thank you is still going to be thanked.
Wang Xi simply said vaguely: "It's nothing, it's just that there was some accident that Qinggu sent me sideburns that day." Then she quickly changed the subject, "Master Chen, what is the matter with you coming here?" Do you want to know what is the difference between the incense recipe in Dr. Feng's hand and Chaoyun's? Or do you have something to ask me? ”
Chen Luo looked at her quietly for a while when he heard this.
His eyes are dark, and he looks at people very seriously, as if there is no one else in this world except you, giving people a burning sensation and making people feel very uncomfortable.
Wang Xi couldn't help but have an itchy throat and coughed softly.
Chen Luo laughed suddenly, but his dark eyes were like rippling blue water, sparkling in the microwave, with the warmth of spring.
"I do have something to ask for!" He said, his voice a little lower than usual, a little melodious, "I want to ask if you have ever smelled frankincense?" What does it taste like? ”
Wang Xi was stunned.
Agarwood, sandalwood, and frankincense can be said to be the three most commonly used spices in perfumery, but agarwood and sandalwood will be used to make Jun incense, and frankincense is precious and scarce, and it is mostly used to make chen incense, let alone used alone. If you are not a person who loves incense, you really won't be able to distinguish the taste of various spices one by one.
But if Chen Luo hasn't smelled frankincense, it's unlikely.
She thought that the spice list she had just now did not open frankincense, and she couldn't take it out separately for Chen Luo to smell, so she thought about it carefully and tried her best to describe the taste of frankincense in popular language.
"It's kind of like pepper." "Not really," she said. It is cooler than pepper, like the leaves of the camphor tree mixed with the taste of eucalyptus leaves, slightly sour, and a little sweet. It's very peculiar. As long as you smell it once, you will never forget, never forget. ”
Wang Xi remembered the first time he smelled frankincense.
I think it's too strong and a little annoying.
It's been smelling for a long time, and I actually think it's very good.
Chen Luo laughed when he heard this, and said, "Why don't I sound like spices, like food?" ”
What does he mean by that?
Wang Xi was a little unhappy and said, "Originally, many spices could be used to season and cook. For example, star anise, cinnamon, and licorice are all good condiments. ”
Chen Luo smiled playfully and said, "Which dish uses licorice?" It's the first time I've heard of it! You've made me see a lot too! ”
Sit back and watch the sky! Rush candle!
Wang Xi snorted and said: "Licorice is indispensable for tide brine!" ”
"Tidal halogen?"
"yes!" Wang Xi talked eloquently, "There are many kinds of pickled vegetables. Like the braised vegetables of the two lakes like fried sugar, also known as red brine, and the Jiangnan area likes white brine, only with water and spices; There is also a kind of turmeric powder colored, also known as yellow broil. And then like our Shuzhong, whether it is red or white or yellow, it must be added with pepper and chili. People are tidal marinade, that is, they must add licorice and fish sauce. ”
As she spoke, she found that she hadn't eaten braised vegetables for a long time, and her saliva was about to come out.
