Chapter 136: Life is impermanent

After Zilan wrote it, she handed it to Xiao Er and sent it down, and the incense master finally announced that Bao Er's room guessed it and won the prize.

A box of incense, and a set of molds for printing and lettering, specially used to carve patterns for the made incense cakes, for identification.

Shuhui and Xuan'er were full of praise for Zilan, and their eyes widened in amazement, "Sister, you are so powerful, you can guess it just by your nose, what a cow." ”

Zhao Xuan'er looked at her with admiring eyes,

It made Zilan laugh happily, "Actually, it's nothing, probably because I like this, I don't feel tired no matter how I study, and the more I learn, the happier I become." ”

The shopkeeper brought her prize, and Zilan pushed the box to Zhao Xuan'er, "Sister Xuan'er, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, so I will give it to you." This is Buddha incense, so it's also appropriate to use this for your mother's incense. ”

Xuan'er was very surprised, she glanced at Shuhui, she waved her hand, "I have more things than you, a whole set of things, I have several incense burners alone, go back and give you one." Lan'er went home and let's play together. ”

Xuan'er smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll take it, thank you sister." I couldn't be happier today. ”

"Here we go on again."

Brother Qi reminded them that the second incense bucket below had begun.

The incense master lit the second incense, and the fragrance slowly came out, it was a strong osmanthus fragrance, and the guests all laughed, this is obviously the fragrance of osmanthus.

However, even if it is fragrant with osmanthus, there are several recipes, and it is not so easy to guess.

Zhao Xuan'er smiled happily: "I know this, it's osmanthus fragrance, but it seems that there are many recipes for flower fragrance." ”

Brother Lin smiled and nodded, "Yes, the floral fragrance is actually the most difficult to guess, because there are many formulas for each floral fragrance, and the more skilled the more so, the better the floral fragrance is the most difficult to identify." ”

Zhao Xuan'er nodded suddenly, "It's the most familiar and the rarest, right?" ”

"That's right, being able to do the simplest to the extreme is also a reflection of ability."

Brother Qi also smiled and nodded.

Zilan has already begun to write the recipe, this one is not complicated, choose open osmanthus and mash it to remove the juice.

Mash the holly seeds to extract the juice, store its residue, mix it with osmanthus into a drug, and dry it in the wind.

When burning incense, it is lined with jade pieces, as if there is the fragrance of osmanthus, and it is extremely long-lasting.

"Do you want to send it?"

Zhao Xuan'er glanced at it and asked.

"I won't send it, this one is simply reserved for other customers to make fun, I'll just guess one."

Zilan doesn't steal the fun of others, nor does she stand out from the limelight, it is enough for her to guess her long-term skills in private.

Someone has already guessed it in the room, and the incense master revealed the secret and the result is exactly the same, many people think it is very complicated, but in fact, not all incense products are complicated and difficult to do.

When everyone heard that it was so simple, they were a little embarrassed, their expressions were extremely exciting, and they shouted that it was a pity and funny.

At this time, the atmosphere was extremely lively, Zhao Xuan'er looked back at Zilan, there was no loss or pride at all, but she was full of interest, she really liked Xiangdao, and she didn't like this kind of thing very much.

Zhao Xuan'er tilted her head thoughtfully, and remembered the master's words, my generation has been introspecting since then, and it makes sense to think about it.

"My sister guessed again, that guest got this osmanthus fragrance."

Zhao Xuan'er stretched her head to look downstairs and said with a grin.

"Sister likes it, if you like it, I'll give it to you."

Zilan thought she liked this incense.

Zhao Xuan'er shook her head, "The aroma of osmanthus is too fragrant, I don't like it very much." ”

"Yes."

The third incense started, and Zhao Xuan'er pushed the fader Lan, "Hurry up, it's started." ”

Zilan sniffed it carefully, immediately smiled, and wrote it down calmly.

This one is wood rhinoceros.

At the beginning of the fifth watch, use bamboo chopsticks to pick the rock osmanthus that has not yet opened, no matter how much.

Now put a little sandalwood in the bottom of the bottle, then put the petals in the bottle, fill it with flowers, and sprinkle the camphor on the flowers.

The yarn is covered in the mouth of the bottle, placed in an empty house, the night dew is collected four or five times a day, stirred with a small amount of raw and cooked honey, poured in the bottle, and then sealed with wax paper and then taken out and incinerated.

This incense is not complicated, the main trouble is on the night dew collected.

The third Xiangzilan also guessed, Zhao Xuan'er and Shuhui applauded her, "Sister, you are too powerful." ”

Zilan blushed embarrassedly, "Actually, this is not difficult to be a master, I like incense, and I don't feel tired if I am willing to study, but I feel that it is infinitely fun." But it was extremely irritating to make me embroider. ”

Zhao Xuan'er felt the same when she heard it, and couldn't help laughing, "I feel the same way, when I embroider, my heart is very calm and peaceful, very comfortable." The flowers and the grass seemed to be placed in front of me, and it was very convenient. So that's all the fun. ”

"No, the master has praised her several times, saying that her embroidery is very spiritual,"

Shuhui also pouted jealously, everyone has a specialty, only she doesn't seem to have outstanding talents, and she feels so embarrassed.

Zilan saw the loss on Shuhui's face, and pretended to sigh regretfully, "Actually, these things are small ways after all, I am a vulgar person, and I work so hard to learn incense, one is to please my body and mind, and the other is because I am prevalent in incense, it can be used to make money."

I always think that women can't have other talents, but they must learn to take care of family affairs and learn to make money.

Women are born weak, and there are many difficulties. If you marry a non-person, it will be a hard life. There is an aunt and grandmother in my Song family, and the man she married was seriously ill before marriage, but she married her back by cheating on marriage, and then she died in less than two months, and she gave my aunt and grandmother a reputation as Kefu.

Although my Song family later found justice for her and brought people back, her reputation was eventually affected, and she couldn't remarry, and the poor flower-like woman could only be widowed.

However, what makes me admire is that my aunt did not feel sorry for herself, but took out all her skills, relying on her mother's family to do business on her own, and also helped the old and weak in the clan, and taught our girls some talents and housekeeping skills.

Although he is now over forty years old, he has no worries about food and clothing, lives alone in another garden, has a group of slaves, and his business is thriving.

Five years ago, the clan was in charge and passed on to a child less than four years old, surnamed Song, and her name was also included in the Song family tree in another way, and she will enter the family cemetery in the future and be worshiped by her son.

Grandmothers often use her story to educate us, even in a family like ours, there is no guarantee that every child will be happy and healthy.

If we are strong, brave, strategic, and have the ability to make a living, we can make ourselves live well and turn our misfortunes into happiness at all times.

My aunt's son, very filial, and hard-working, has passed the childhood, every year my aunt and grandmother personally take him to worship his biological parents, everywhere carefully, my cousin is very grateful. ”

This is the true story of the Song family, not made up by Zilan, the Song family also has widows and unfortunate women, but whether they can live well depends on themselves.

Everyone sighed when they heard this.
