In order to do a good job in the competition of "the first fragrance in the capital", the lady Zhen of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion invited famous families and nobles, and almost all who could shout shouted.

The entire Songhe restaurant has been wrapped.

The owner of Songhe Restaurant is said to have gone on a trip, so now the owner of Songhe Restaurant is a boss surnamed Wang, who is also a fat man.

Mu Ningxuan could see at a glance that the boss surnamed Wang was still Nangong Yirong.

It's not that Mu Ningxuan pays attention to him, but the boss surnamed Wang gave Mu Ningxuan a few looks, and tried to come to her to talk, but he was blocked back by Qiu Mo, Nangong Ji had been to Liu Jutang in the Pingchang Hou Mansion and had seen Qiu Mo, so he recognized her.

This is the first time Mu Ningxuan has brought Qiumo out, and in the past, she came out with either Xiaofu or Yutang or Aunt Su.

Because Qiu Mo is the most secure in doing things, staying in Liujutang to manage those maids, Mu Ningxuan is the most relieved.

This time, in order not to let everyone recognize that the boss behind "Zhenpinxiang" was her, Mu Ningxuan put on a hat and deliberately brought Qiumo with her.

Today, Songhe Restaurant was full, and Mu Ningxuan found that the wing room on the second floor was sitting in the middle of the little prince.

Of course, in addition to the little prince, there is also an acquaintance who is also in the box on the southeast side of the second floor.

There were four or five young men sitting in the box on the southeast side, only he shrunk in the small corner of the box and looked at the little prince sitting in the middle from time to time, probably surprised that the little prince would come.

Mu Ningxuan felt very funny when she looked at Rong Jing like this, and she didn't understand why Rong Jing was so afraid of the little prince.

There are thirteen incense shops participating in the "First Incense in Beijing" competition.

"Dark Xiangfang", "Qinxiangtang", "Yuanyuxiang", "Miaoxiangzhai", "Yaoxiangge", "Changxiangsi", "Tianfuxiang", "Fan Xianglin"...

Almost all the incense shop owners in the capital who can be said to have their names came, except for the two incense shops of "Yao Xiang Ge" and "Chang Xiangsi", the contestants of the two incense shops are male bosses, and the other incense shops are all female bosses.

All the incense shop owners stood at the table with their own incense shop name on it, waiting for the game to begin.

The long square table of the competition is surrounded by a large circle, and in the middle is a circular high platform.

Mrs. Zhen, the big boss of the organizer "Agarwood Workshop", stood on the high platform in the middle of Songhe Restaurant and said something for about half an hour.

The reason why I said it for so long is to take advantage of the large number of people to mention a few more words of "Agarwood Workshop", in order to improve the popularity of "Agarwood Workshop" and attract customers.

Kelaisong and the people in the restaurant are all coming to see the incense-making competition, who wants to listen to an aunt Shao for a long time, the people around him shouted loudly to let Mrs. Zhen come down, Mrs. Zhen was supported by the maid next to her, and slowly walked down from the high platform.

The table of the "Agarwood Workshop" competition was just opposite the "Treasure Incense" table, and Mu Ningxuan could clearly see that Xian Xian and Si Luo often looked at her side.

I don't know why, Mu Ningxuan always felt that Xianxian and Siluo, the two people of Tianjin, had other plans, and originally thought that they would leave after selling the leather last year, but who knew that they actually opened such an "Agarwood Workshop" with the Lady Zhen of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and also made such a "First Fragrance in Beijing" competition.

If it weren't for her recent lack of silver, she wouldn't have gotten involved in such a competition.

Is it "the first incense in the capital", she has an official family behind her backer, and the official family will never see the business of "treasure incense" fall into the pockets of the people of Tianjin.

In addition to Xianxian and Si Luo, two people from Tianjin, Mu Ningxuan always felt that someone was watching her.

Mu Ningxuan subconsciously looked up at the box in the middle of the second floor.

The little prince was indeed looking at her, and Mu Ningxuan knew that the little prince must have recognized her. Donglin has been in Liujutang for so long, he must have secretly gone to the cellar in the backyard.

In fact, even if everyone knows that she Mu Ningxuan is the boss behind "Zhenpinxiang", it is not a big deal to know.

It's just that Mu Ningxuan is afraid of trouble, and the new incense that comes out every three months is very rare, because the materials are not easy to come by, if the nobles know that she Mu Ningxuan is the boss of the "Treasure Fragrance" one by one, and ask her for it through the third sister or the eldest brother or the Qin sister-in-law, it will be too troublesome~

Mu Ningxuan ignored the little prince, just looked around, and inadvertently swept his eyes to him.

***

There are three formats for this competition.

The first item [Smell and Recognize Fragrance]: It is mainly to examine the identification of spices by the contestants, including their fragrance type, sexual taste, characteristics, etc.

The second item [Incense Making]: After the contestants understand the randomly selected questions, they will make timely incense pills.

The third item [Fragrance Voting]: The nobles present voted for the incense pills made on the spot, and the one with the most votes was the winner.

For Mu Ningxuan, the first item [smelling the fragrance and recognizing the moment] is very easy, after being reborn, Mu Ningxuan's memory has become excellent, the books about spices that the Queen Mother asked her to read before, Mu Ningxuan can still remember it clearly, and she can say the fragrance and sexual taste and characteristics of each spice word for word when she opens her mouth.

What surprised Mu Ningxuan was that the immortals of Jinguo could also answer fluently, but the spice varieties and immortals who asked could also say the fragrance type, sexual taste, and characteristics word for word. Like Mu Ningxuan, her memory is outstanding!

After all, spices are the most basic for incense makers, and if they don't even understand spices, they can't be considered a real fragrance maker!

In the first competition, seven of the 13 contestants have been eliminated.

Those seven families are all a few flavors of incense recipes passed down from generation to generation, so their boss only understands the spices on these flavors of incense, as for the rest, they don't need to know at all, it is enough to spread the incense to support their families.

After the first item [Smell the Fragrance Knowledge], only the participating incense shops are left with "Dark Incense Fang", "Chang Xiang Si", "Tianfu Xiang", "Miao Xiang Zhai", "Agarwood Fang" and "Treasure Fragrance" to win and continue the competition.

The second item [making incense in response to the title] Mu Ningxuan drew a bamboo stick with "auspicious clouds and ruiqi on the nine skies".

Mu Ningxuan quickly thought that there was a kind of incense in the "incense book", and there happened to be a kind of incense with the word Ruihe - "Ruihe incense".

Rui and Xiang's recipe is: Jinsha two coins, sandalwood two coins, cloves two coins, thatch two coins, tonka two coins, frankincense two coins, borneol one coin, Huoxiang one coin.

After the above-mentioned incense materials are crushed, pour them into the bowl and grind them repeatedly, put the herbs and borneol back, and mix them thoroughly.

Another piece of jujube meat, after steaming, peel and remove the core, cut into small dices, and then put it in a bowl and grind it evenly.

After all the grinding incense powder is put into the mashing mortar, add the refining honey and pound the pestle repeatedly.

After repeated pounding of the pestle, the incense powder and the refined honey are fully bonded into a block, and almost the whole piece can be lifted by hand, and a little incense powder can be twisted into a ball the size of a chicken head and rice to test its viscosity.

If the viscosity is suitable, then you can weigh and cut the clay into pieces, then knead it into strips, cut each strip evenly into equal parts, and then knead them together into small balls, and the incense balls are ready.

Mu Ningxuan began to make "Ruihe Xiang" according to the recipe in the incense book in her memory, but Mu Ningxuan added more "Hexiang" to the recipe than the recipe in the incense book.

In the end, the "Ruihe Xiang" made by Mu Ningxuan has a stronger fragrance and makes people smell a sense of joy.

Mu Ningxuan was very satisfied with the "Ruihe incense" made this time, thinking that after the competition, she would make more and put it in the "Treasure Incense" incense shop to sell, according to the previous market, even if the price was 1,000 taels of silver, someone would rush to buy it.

The second competition was limited to one hour, and two of them were directly out of the competition because they did not make the incense within the specified time.

Next is the third [Fragrance Vote].

At present, among the four remaining incense shops, the number of "treasure incense" is the largest, followed by "Changxiangsi", then "Miao Xiangzhai", and finally "Agarwood Fang".

This time, the "Agarwood Workshop" was able to stay until the end, and everyone present was also surprised, but they didn't expect a small businessman in Tianjin to study spices so thoroughly.

Mrs. Zhen, who was sitting not far away, had a smile on her face, obviously very happy.

Originally, she was worried about whether Xianxian, a native of Tianjin, had real skills, but after these two rounds, it was obvious that only the boss of "Zhenpinxiang" could compete with Xianxian.

Mrs. Zhen is very curious about why the boss of "Zhenpinxiang" wears a hat on his head, and what kind of woman is under the hat.

Not only Mrs. Zhen was curious, but everyone present was also curious.

In order to do a good job in the competition of "the first fragrance in the capital", the lady Zhen of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion invited famous families and nobles, and almost all who could shout shouted.

The entire Songhe restaurant has been wrapped.

The owner of Songhe Restaurant is said to have gone on a trip, so now the owner of Songhe Restaurant is a boss surnamed Wang, who is also a fat man.
