With a bang, the boy slammed into the door.

A gust of wind passed through the window, and the fragrance that washed the room disappeared in an instant.

Mu Wanqiu's body shook, and she looked up at the white woman, who was looking at her quietly.

"Yes......" Mu Wanqiu sniffed hard, catching the last fragrance, "...... Linden. The weak voice lost a little confidence, and the fragrance ethereated for a moment, and she felt that the taste seemed to be a little different from the first fragrance.

"Wrong......," corrected the boy standing by the door, without waiting for the white woman to speak, "...... This time it's lily of the valley! He held his head high, "These two kinds of floral fragrances, although the fragrance is both sweet, the lily of the valley is sweeter, and the linden flower is slightly green, and the fragrance is stronger...... and said, "Smelling the fragrance and arguing the fragrance are the most basic, you can't even tell such a simple fragrance, what kind of fragrance do you mix?" ”

Mu Wanqiu felt that both ears were hot, not two lives, the accumulation of years and the polishing of time seemed to be an innate calm characteristic, so that she still maintained a standing posture, I am afraid that she has already fallen to the ground in shame.

“…… Brother. The white woman reprimanded sternly, "I don't forget how my husband taught me, and don't make any assertions about anything!" ”

"Yes......" The boy who called Brother Zhen at the door answered, stuck out his tongue mischievously at Mu Wanqiu, and made a grimace.

“…… Bring spices. And the white woman commanded.

Brother Zhen answered, pushed the door and ran out.

After a while, he brought in a small man in Tsing Yi, with a round dustpan in his hand, and a few piles of spices of different colors and shapes were piled up in it, and put them on the mahogany carved incense case, and the little man in Tsing Yi quietly withdrew.

"Look, what are these ......," the white woman pointed to the dustpan, "what does it taste like, how do you make it?" ”

"This ......" Looking at the small piles of spices, or flakes, or granules, or tree roots, or powdered spices, Mu Wanqiu shook her head weakly, she didn't know anything.

“…… This is called Gan Xiang" Seeing Mu Wanqiu shaking his head, Brother Zhen pointed to a bunch of root-like fluffy black and brown spices, "The smell is spicy...... "Reach out and pick up a tiptoe and hand it to Mu Wanqiu's nose, you smell it, "There is a smell of pine oil...... "Put down the jashimson, Brother Zhen pointed to another pile, "This is called Xiangjialan......"

After all, he is a child, and it is rare to have a chance to show his skills, Brother Zhen talked endlessly, a little desperate, but Mu Wanqiu still listened carefully.

“…… It seems that you really don't understand incense. Waving her hand to stop her brother, the white woman sighed.

“…… If I can get into Yao Kee Spice Shop, I will study very hard! In desperation, Mu Wanqiu made a final effort.

"Take it down......" The white woman bowed her head and continued to write.

“…… Big sister come with me! Brother Zhen beckoned to her.

……

“…… You came out early? Sannier, who had a happy face, saw Mu Wanqiu sitting listlessly on the bench, and asked, "Have you seen Master Pei?" ”

“…… Master Pei?" Mu Wanqiu's expression was blank, was that white woman Master Pei?

“…… It's the tall, thin one in the innermost room. Seeing that Mu Wanqiu was stunned, Sannier pointed to the innermost room on the right where she had just come out, "After smelling the incense and arguing the incense, she will be taken to see her...... First-class perfumer, that bearing, that conversation, is really extraordinary......" Sannier's eyes were full of admiration, and when she saw Mu Wanqiu shaking her head, she suddenly stopped her mouth, "...... You...... You didn't see her? ”

Master Pei has an extraordinary bearing, treating everyone who comes to look for work equally, knowing that there is little hope, but people who are looking for work are still flocking, and would rather wait in a long line outside, mostly to see her demeanor and listen to her a few words with his own ears.

She hadn't heard of it, and there were applicants who couldn't meet Master Pei!

"I didn't even pass the smell of the incense and the ......" Mu Wanqiu smiled self-deprecatingly, her voice faint.

“…… Didn't even get past the smell? "The first level Yao Ji will not produce Hexiang, this is the easiest, there are still people who have not passed! Sannier grabbed her arm, "How many incense are you that you haven't argued?" ”

"I didn't distinguish a kind of incense...... Mu Wanqiu's voice was faint, no joy or sorrow, as if she knew in advance that the person who lost the election was not her, Sannier's eyes widened, "A ...... Didn't make out one of them? That ......"

So what else are you applying for?!

When the words reached her tongue, Sannier swallowed hard, turned to a smile, and sat down next to Mu Wanqiu, "...... It doesn't matter, no one will ever come to the meeting, and it's never too late to start at how old you really want to learn incense. ”

“…… It's true? Mu Wanqiu turned her head and looked at Sannier seriously, "It's really not too late for me to learn now?" ”

The blow just now was too big, and although she had a fragrance recipe, she had completely lost her confidence.

Even three-year-olds here will smell and argue!

"Well, as long as you put your heart into it......" Sannier nodded seriously, "I heard that Master Pei also started to recognize spices when he was a teenager, and he became a first-class perfumer in a few years!" Her eyes were full of admiration, "Therefore, no matter how high or low the skill is, Master Pei never underestimates us people, and we all treat us equally...... "It's a pity that you didn't see her." Suddenly, he held Mu Wanqiu's hand again, "Every time I fall off the list, my mother says that as long as I persist, there is hope, let me do it again the next year...... If you really like it, stick to it, my mother said, the sky will not disappoint everyone who is willing to work hard! ”

The sky will not disappoint everyone who is willing to work hard!

As long as you persevere, there is hope!

Mu Wanqiu, who was in despair, shook her body, slowly clenched her small fists, she nodded vigorously at Sannier, and secretly swore in her heart:

"I have to be a top perfumer!"

……

Coming out of Li Ji, Mu Wanqiu was a little disheartened, more than ten days, she has left many spice shops, in this place where almost even a three-year-old child can smell and distinguish the fragrance, and all kinds of spices are at her fingertips, as long as the owner hears that she can't even smell the single fragrance, she shakes her head without saying a word.

lowered the standard, Mu Wanqiu wanted to find a spice shop to work as an incense worker, as long as she could get in touch with spices, she could secretly and slowly learn and accumulate, but unfortunately, no matter how she said that she had strength and could endure hardships, people shook their heads when they saw her slender little body.

After all, Shuoyang is known as the small fragrance capital, and it is a paradise in the eyes of the poor people within a radius of 100 miles, and people who come here flock to it.

Here, there is no shortage of coolies!

Walking aimlessly on the streets, walking in the crowd of people, Mu Wanqiu's heart was cold and low.

Although she has the secret book of fragrance, it is a book of heaven for her who doesn't even know the spices and can't even smell the fragrance!

can't understand the cheats, at this time, for her, this peerless cheats is useless, and it is not as affordable as a hot steamed bun.

What to do?

Do you just give up on perfumery?

In this life, she is penniless and has no long things, she doesn't know, what else can she do except to laugh?

The thought flashed, and she shivered and shook her head vigorously.

No, in this life, no matter how hard she is, she must not be reduced to dust again!

Feeling that the surroundings had become cold and cold at some point, Mu Wanqiu looked up, and before she knew it, she had walked through the downtown area and came to the end of the road, facing a deserted bookstore, which made Mu Wanqiu's eyes light up......
