Chapter 205: Abu
Looking at Shi Jinxiu's look of disbelief, the young man added: "Xixiang is a spice from my hometown, if you don't refine it, it will make people dizzy when you smoke it...... But if it is refined, it is a very perfect fragrance dissolving! ”
The young man's Chinese was very stiff, he had a hard time speaking it, and Shi Jinxiu also had a hard time listening to it.
"What's your name?" Shi Jinxiu put down the tea in his hand, looked at the young man and asked.
"Abu!" Because he knew that the person in front of him could let him stay in the capital, the young man looked forward to it.
Shi Jinxiu smiled at him: "Abu, I have some incense in my hand, if you can help me refine them, I will keep you!" But if you can't do it, I'll still send you back to the Jingzhao Mansion prison, how about it? ”
"Abu won't let his master down!" The boy named Abu nodded cautiously.
Shi Jinxiu left Abu for the time being, and told the Naya man to let him take the money or bring someone after three days.
The tooth man was naturally not afraid of Shi Jinxiu's running list, so he left with a smile on his face.
Shi Jinxiu took Abu to his incense-making room.
When he saw the room full of spices and incense, Abu was stunned.
"I've dreamed of a room like this since I was a kid." Abu sighed.
"If you can help me propose the incense, the things in this house will be as you like in the future!" Shi Jinxiu smiled at Abu.
"Really!" Abu's eyes were filled with joy, "Then I'll start here!" ”
Shi Jinxiu saw that he found a small jar, weighed some incense with a small scale, poured it in, and measured three cups of water with a small cup, and then slowly boiled the incense with low heat.
Is it just boiled?
Shi Jinxiu looked at all this with suspicion, she had already tried this.
But she still didn't say much, but stood quietly on the sidelines, watching Abu operate.
After the small fire had brought out the fragrance in the small jar, Abu used the bowl to clasp the mouth of the jar, but after a breath or two, he replaced it with one, and then carefully collected the steam water attached to the dish.
After repeating this operation seven or eight times, he actually asked him to gather a small porcelain bottle.
"Master, I've got it done!" Abu excitedly handed the small porcelain vase to Shi Jinxiu.
Is he distilling?
Shi Jinxiu, who had also tried it in this way, took the porcelain vase suspiciously, shook it lightly under his nose, and soon smelled the smell of incense in his memory.
How is this possible?!
Shi Jinxiu was very skeptical.
What Abu did just now, she had done it before, but she had never refined it to such a pure fragrance.
"How did you do that?" Shi Jinxiu asked Abu.
"That's what you just did!" Abu smiled and said, "But I can't tell the master the exact method!" Otherwise, the master will learn to go, and what if he doesn't want Abu! ”
Shi Jinxiu raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
This kid's mind is quite delicate!
"Okay! I'll leave you! Shi Jinxiu smiled with Na Abu, "But you have to tell me why you came to the capital!" ”
Abu lowered his head as soon as he heard this, and the happy appearance just now suddenly disappeared.
"You also know that people like you are being arrested everywhere in the capital now, if I want to keep you, at least I have to know who you are and what you are doing in the capital, right?" Shi Jinxiu said with him with a cold face.
"I ...... I'm half from Beijing! The boy named Abu looked up, "I'm here to find my father in the capital!" ”
"Your daddy?" Looking at Abu's half-Han and half-Hu face, Shi Jinxiu felt that this was not impossible.
"My father used to be a merchant who traveled between the capital and Great Xia!" Abu clenched his fists and said, "When I was five years old, he said that he wanted to pour a batch of goods into the capital, so he left me and my mother!" I haven't seen him since! ”
"This time, I came to the capital just to find him and ask if he didn't want me and my mother anymore!" When he said this, Abu looked stubborn, "So, I must not leave the capital!" So, master, leave me alone! I can do the work for you, and I won't mess you up. ”
Abu was very sincere.
Looking for relatives?
Shi Jinxiu thought back to Abu in her dream, as if she had never been a demon until she woke up from her dream.
"Okay, I'll keep you!" Shi Jinxiu asked people to call Tang Quan and asked him to help place Abu.
Tang Quan was naturally a little surprised when he looked at Abu, but when he thought that this was Shi Jinxiu's order, he didn't say anything more, and led the person down.
When Abu appeared in front of Shi Jinxiu again, he had already changed into a small dress, and his piercing yellow hair was dyed black by Tang Quan in some way, at least at first glance, it didn't look so abrupt.
Shi Jinxiu threw all the spices that Lin Xie brought back to him: "Use your method to refine all these incense." ”
And she took the new incense she had just developed to Bluestone Lane.
"Big boss!" Because there was Xu Li before, and now there is Tang Quan, Zheng Laohan, who hadn't seen Shi Jinxiu for a long time, hurriedly greeted him.
Since Shi Jinxiu intervened in the affairs of Xinxiang Pavilion, Mrs. Ye voluntarily retired as the second master and gave up the position of the big boss to Shi Jinxiu.
"The big boss is here today, but he came to tell us that we can start work?" Because Shi Jinxiu decided to hand over the previous incense-making recipes to the people of the Li family's incense shop, the incense-making workshop here has been suspended for almost a month.
"Yes!" Shi Jinxiu smiled with Zheng Laohan, "Our Xinxiang Pavilion never sells the same incense products as others. ”
As she spoke, she took out four or five incense recipes, and the bottle of incense liquid that Abu had precipitated before: "According to the old rules, no one is allowed to touch these incense recipes except you!" ”
Zheng Laohan nodded cautiously and took all the things.
After Shi Jinxiu said a few more words, he went to the new house next door where he was playing furniture.
As Lin Xie said, she didn't have to worry about the affairs in the new house at all, Lin Xie had already arranged the matter, as if he had invited all the carpenters in the city, and one person was responsible for making the furniture in a room.
And these carpenters seemed to be holding their breath, and no one was convinced that they took out their housekeeping skills, and the things they made were very exquisite, not to mention, but also had their own whimsical ideas.
Shi Jinxiu watched all this with great satisfaction, secretly thinking that Lin Xie was really a ghost!
It's just that what people didn't expect was that as soon as she returned to Ping'anfang, Du Juan came to report to her: "Your Excellency is back, and when you see Abu, you will arrest him!" This man is holding people in the outer study. ”
"What?!" When Shi Jinxiu heard this, where could she calm down, so she quickly lifted her skirt and went to the study.
