Chapter 57

"The single clothes inside are soaked, I have to hurry into the house to change, for the New Year, don't catch a cold......" While thinking, after drying the clothes, Mu Wanqiu took the wooden basin and ran into the house.

was stopped by Master Liu at the door, took a glove bandana and handed it to her, pointed to the twenty tubes of incense packed in a wooden box at his feet, "Send this box of incense to Cardamom Xianglou ,......" and added, "Hurry up, they are out of stock, they are in a hurry" The tone is undoubted.

"I ......" wanted to say that she would go when she entered the house and changed her clothes, facing Master Liu's blue and black face, Mu Wanqiu pursed her lips tightly and took the glove and headscarf, "I'll go ...... now"

……

"Ah Qiu...... Ah Qiu ...... "Mu Wanqiu was walking in a hurry with the wooden suitcase in both hands, and she turned her head when she heard someone shouting behind her.

It was Sannier, she was wearing a bright red flower cotton jacket, wrapped tightly up and down, the only pair of big eyes that were exposed, and her eyelashes were covered with frost, flickering.

"Sannier......" Mu Wanqiu called out in surprise, put the half-human-high wooden suitcase on the snow and turned around, "...... Do you have kung fu to come out? ”

Yao Ji has always been very busy.

"I just went to Lin Ji ......" ran a few steps, and Sannier came to her, "Sister-in-law Lin said that you came to Cardamom Xianglou, so I just ...... behind her" pressed her hands to her chest, snorting and panting, "I saw you from afar, my voice was broken, you just can't hear ......"

"It's too windy, and I'm wrapped in a headscarf...... Mu Wanqiu smiled embarrassedly, and her feet kept stomping on the snow, "...... I heard that Yao Ji hasn't sealed the pot yet, are you free? ”

"Your headscarf? Her face was all exposed, and she was carefully frozen...... "Seeing that Mu Wanqiu only wrapped her ears in a headscarf and exposed most of her face, Sannier took off her gloves and stepped forward to tidy her up," ...... I'm going to take the tripolar exam tomorrow, and the owner specially gave me a day off. ”

"Your host is so good...... tone was full of envy, Mu Wanqiu also took off her gloves, "If you come out in a hurry, I'll tie it casually, it's too cold, you put on your gloves quickly, I'll ...... it."

“…… No matter how anxious you are, you have to wrap the headscarf, to be a perfumer, the most important thing is to protect your nose" slapped Mu Wanqiu's hand away, Sannier continued to tie her headscarf seriously, and complained in her mouth.

Protect your nose?

Mu Wanqiu was stunned, she had never thought about this, and nodded seriously, "Well, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future" and remembered, "By the way, tomorrow's exam is going on, it's a cold day, why don't you review at home and come to me?" ”

"I'm ......" was stunned for a moment, Sannier reached out and picked it up in her pocket, "Look at my memory ......" took out a pleated piece of paper and handed it to Mu Wanqiu, "If you don't ask, I really forgot, this is for you ......"

“……?” Mu Wanqiu answered suspiciously.

"Du Heng and Xi Xin's concoction secret recipe......" Sannier lowered her head and put on her gloves.

"Secret...... Fang ...... "Although they have just entered the industry, Mu Wanqiu also, for a perfumer, the ancestral secret recipe is the only guarantee for their survival in the fiercely competitive perfume industry, and it is their lifeblood."

"Don't be so nervous, I have a lot of secret recipes in my family, and this one has also been slightly changed by me, it's a member of the clan, and I won't trouble you, it's just ......" she blinked embarrassedly, "I can't read, this is written by Brother Zhen'er, and I don't understand it?" You know how to read, take a look now, and I'll tell you what you don't understand......" She grinned, "I remember all the melons that are ripe......"

"I ......" Mu Wanqiu's voice was slightly astringent, "I'm just a handyman, and Lin Ji doesn't concoct spices, so it's useless for me to ask for this." ”

She can't enter the spice shop, she can't touch the spices, and she has the peerless fragrance recipe in her arms, which she feels is of little use to her current predicament, let alone such a small and inconspicuous concoction unilaterally.

"You...... You really don't? Saniel's eyes widened.

“……?” Mu Wanqiu's eyes widened, "What ...... I?" ”

"Hey, it seems that you really don't ......" sighed, "That Master Liu of your family is a famous eye in Shuoyang, a mean ghost" She accentuated her tone, "I won't tell you this, you don't like to ...... people on weekdays."

“…… What the hell? "I don't want to talk about Master Liu, Mu Wanqiu asked.

“…… The test of the three-pole perfumer not only requires the basic preparation techniques, but also requires at least fifty kinds of aromas at a time, and says their characteristics, uses, and fragrance types one by one, and the fragrance is not fixed every time, and it changes every year, even if you remember a hundred kinds, you may not be able to bet on a few kinds, some people can't pass the test in their lifetime, it is because of this ......" Sannier's voice was a little gray.

"Me, but ......"

However, what does this have to do with the secret recipe that Sannier gave her?

"The application fee alone is 500 yuan, I know that I can't pass the exam, but there are still so many people who sign up every year, guess?"

“…… For? Mu Wanqiu shook her head.

"It's to make a name in the incense guild"

“…… Front? Mu Wanqiu had a flash of inspiration, she remembered that it seemed that Sister-in-law Lin had also said this, that day Master Liu's bitter eyes were like burning on her back, she held her heart tightly, how dare she ask, at that time, she was still thinking about asking Sannier in the future, and she forgot if she didn't want to look back, "Sister-in-law Lin also said that if I can be named in the incense guild, I will be paid fifty wages......" She looked at Sannier suspiciously, "...... Called a pseudonym? ”

“…… It's only fifty" Sannier's voice rose an octave, and her tone was full of injustice.

"You be quiet, everyone on the street is watching......" Mu Wanqiu pulled Sannier to the side of the road, and then turned around and moved the wooden suitcase to the side of the road.

"The owner just gave me another three hundred ......" Hehe laughed, Sannier's voice lowered, "Yours, I don't have a three-pole perfumer certificate, and I still earn so much, guess?" "It's because I'm in the incense guild...... Your boss said that he would give you a fifty increase, but that was purely fooling you and taking you as a fool" Her eyes were full of injustice?

Pursing her lips, Mu Wanqiu was speechless.

She had already heard that Sister-in-law Lin's words that day were not sincere, but she just wanted to use her to stimulate the jealous Master Liu, so she never took this matter to heart, so she forgot to study and study it by name.

Seeing that she was speechless, and knew that Mu Wanqiu would be more uncomfortable if she talked too much, and suppressed the grievances in her stomach, Sannier sighed, simply said her name, and finally said, "...... There are three main topics in the three-pole exam, smelling incense, technique and concoction...... Needless to say, smell the fragrance, you know, the technique is to test the basic skills of cultivation, steaming, boiling, frying, broiling, cannoning, baking, flying, etc., as long as these two items are passed, it is equivalent to the three poles have passed......"

“…… It's true? Mu Wanqiu's eyes lit up, all along, she had learned these two things, as for the technique, although she had not actually operated it, but she was very happy to know the secret, but suddenly felt that it was wrong, "But ......"

But what about the last one?

Is it okay if you don't pass?

"This last item is actually an additional topic......," she wondered, Sannier explained, "the incense guild will provide spices on the spot, and the perfumer will choose to concoct one or three spices for three days...... The more the merrier, the more the better, and finally the guild judges will jointly evaluate it, and the best ones will be named ......"

“…… Merit-based name? Mu Wanqiu muttered and repeated.

"Well, that's it......" Sannier nodded, "Many perfumers are rushing to this to sign up, each of them has used the ability to look after the house, and what is taken out in the examination room is an ancestral unique skill, once it is named, it is equivalent to its own unique skill in the incense guild has a name, and the major spice stores lack the master who concocts that kind of spice, first go to the incense guild to inquire about the nominal perfumer who will concoct this type of spice...... Once the two parties have agreed, there is a minimum salary of 300. ”

"So that's ......" Mu Wanqiu nodded, her tone was quite regretful, she knew that this was the case, she should have learned one or two of Wei's spices, no matter what he was, she would first put her name in the incense guild

Wei's perfumery is like a book from heaven to her, these days she has been reading the Wei's spice book she bought from the bookstore, learning to smell the fragrance and techniques, as for the concoction, except for the incense and the simple Baiye incense, she can't do anything else.

It takes at least ten days to a month of work to make incense, and it is definitely not possible to give only three days in the examination room, and it takes seven days to concoct Baiye incense, but she adds more accessories, although it is not perfect, but it is also reluctant, but it is a pity that Shuoyang people do not recognize her cypress leaf fragrance, relying on this one called rotten leaves by Li Laohan, can she be famous?

After all, in the examination room that she didn't dare to guarantee, there was a Bole among the judges who could recognize her simple natural fragrance.

Thinking of Li Laohan's words, Mu Wanqiu first denied the topic of choosing to concoct cypress leaf incense.

However, there is only one night left, is she still in time to learn other spice concoctions?

The bright eyes gradually dimmed, and Mu Wanqiu's brows twisted into a pimple.

At this time, she still didn't understand that incense and Baiye incense were strictly speaking, making incense, not concocting, even if they could be used in the examination room, they would be useless.

“…… That's why I'm in a hurry to send you a prescription, you take a look first, practice tonight, and go to the big luck tomorrow......" Seeing her gloomy expression, Sannier encouraged, "I have taken the test four or five times, and since the first time I was listed, I have not participated in the third question test...... Although this recipe is not the one I use for the name, it is also the best secret recipe in my family, if I can put it on the name, you must be able to do it......" She shook Mu Wanqiu's arm and said exaggeratedly, "Go and try it, maybe you can hit the big luck and make a blockbuster"

"I'm ......" Mu Wanqiu carefully folded the secret recipe and handed it to Sannier, "It's just one night, I'm afraid it's too late to practice, thank you......"

"You take it, I should have given it to you a ......long time ago" Sannier's tone was full of regret, "It's a pity, I haven't thought about it, or today Zhang said that she applied for Sanji Perfumer just to be famous, I just thought of this, so I hurriedly ran to you......" Forcefully stuffed the secret recipe to Mu Wanqiu, "Even if there is little hope, it is better to try than to give up, once you are named, you can go to work in the spice shop, the salary is at least twice as much as now, and you don't have to suffer from Master Liu's anger anymore......" Remembering that Mu Wanqiu didn't know how to do it at the beginning, he dared to go to Yao Ji to apply, She teased again:

"You have always been bold, you will not dare to apply for a job in Yao Ji, and the three-pole perfumer has also reported, so you are discouraged at this time?"

Yes By].
