Under the peach blossom tree.

Xiao Tingchen rubbed Su Jiu's head, "What is my sister doing standing here stupidly?" ”

Su Jiu took half a step back, raised his head and said seriously: "Don't always touch my head, I won't grow tall." ”

Xiao Tingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at the incense full of buildings, "The shopkeeper in this building, don't want your incense?" ”

Su Jiu touched the bulging purse and nodded.

"Jinling City is so big, it's not just him." Xiao Tingchen rolled up his wide sleeves and looked at the next door of Xiangmanlou with a smile, "Well, isn't there another one?" ”

Su Jiu followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw a secluded and elegant building.

It is hidden behind a few stout peach blossom trees, and if you don't look closely, you can't even tell that there is an incense shop here.

She walked a few steps towards the shop, only to see that the front door of the shop was full of birds, and the light inside was dim, and she didn't know what the scene was.

She looked up and saw a lacquered wood signboard hanging under the eaves, with three large characters inscribed "Half Maple Lotus" with peeling gold paint.

She tilted her head.

The little brother once said that the words are like their people, and the inscription on this plaque is elegant and elegant, and the owner of the store should also be an elegant person.

"Let's go."

Xiao Tingchen led her into the threshold.

The store furnishings are simple and atmospheric, on the sandalwood Bogu shelves, all kinds of incense pills and fragrances are contained in small porcelain jars of different shapes.

The air is filled with the scent of natural wood, which is very pleasant.

An old man with white hair, holding a purple clay pot with only golden orchids, was lying comfortably on a rocking chair, humming an ancient tune.

Su Jiu stepped forward and said softly: "Old man, I have a few incense pills here, can you please taste them?" ”

The old man still closed his eyes as if he hadn't heard, and continued to hum.

Xiao Tingchen stepped forward and casually pulled a snow-white beard from his chin.

"Hiss——!"

The old man sat up in pain, covered his chin and was about to scold, when a pair of handsome faces with a smile on Xiao Tingchen suddenly lost his temper.

He coughed and was about to laugh, Xiao Tingchen turned his back to Su Jiu and raised an index finger to his lips.

The old man hurriedly looked away from him, glanced at Su Jiu a few times, stroked his beard and smiled: "What did this girl just say?" Tasting incense pills? ”

Su Jiu took out a small porcelain jar from his purse, respectfully handed it to the old man, and said in a childish voice: "Exactly, I wonder if you are free?" ”

The old man took the small porcelain jar and opened it, and there was a burst of orchid fragrance and elegance.

It makes people feel like they are in the mountains and forests.

He looked surprised, looked at the incense pills carefully, and immediately took out one with a silver leaf clip.

He took another incense burner, buried the charcoal in the ashes, and put a small silver dish on the coal, and then crushed the incense pill and put it on it.

Without much effort, the delicate aroma of orchids diffused from a small silver dish, gradually replacing the original woody fragrance in the room.

The old man looked at Su Jiu and was surprised.

Su Jiu was ignorant, "How?" ”

"The floral fragrance of this incense pill is extremely elegant and clear, and the fragrance of the orchid is almost perfect. There is no such spice in the market. He stroked his beard, his old eyes full of essence, "Female doll, this is what you concocted?" ”

Su Jiu generously admitted, "I made it." ”

The old man checked the porcelain jar, "There are ten incense pills in it, why don't you sell it to the girl for half a maple lotus?" ”

"I wonder what you're paying for?"

The old man originally planned to sell eight taels of silver at the market price, so he made a gesture of "eight", "Eight-"

Xiao Tingchen didn't know when he stood behind Su Jiu, he was leaning crookedly on the counter and holding an old elm cigarette gun, seeing this, he stretched out a finger towards the old man.

So the old man forcibly withdrew his thumb halfway, only raised his index finger, and said proudly:

"Visitors from all directions, wealth from all sides, and a tael of silver from the old decay!"

^^

Brother Chen: I won't hide it from you, I'm actually an elegant person.

Xiaojiu'er: Hehe.
