Piano, calligraphy and painting, these are all the homework she had to take as a Qinglou in her previous life, hearing the admiration behind her, Mu Wanqiu sighed secretly, if she had a choice, she would rather never have learned.

She rarely shows these things, because all of them portray her unbearable past life, the humiliation that she can't wash away in her previous life, and her unforgettable hatred for him.

“…… This word line does not skip words. Mu Wanqiu turned around and asked Kong Yong, "If it is used to make a signboard, will it be more beautiful?" ”

Her words weren't vigorous enough.

“…… No," Kong Yong shook his head, "The black characters are delicate and timeless, and they are not strong enough to be used as signboards in ordinary stores, but they are excellent in Xiangfang." ”

“…… Why? "This is the first time Mu Wanqiu has heard of it.

“…… Most people think that perfumery is just an industry. ”

“…… Perfumery is an industry. Li Laohan looked at Kong Yong puzzled.

"This is bad, this is bad......" Kong Yong shook his head.

It's really sour

Li Laohan don't look over, he hates these sour and rotten self-righteous people who are pretentious.

is really capable, why don't you take the top prize.

Kong Yong didn't look at him either, and turned to Mu Wanqiu, "Think about it, what a wonderful thing it is to blend several spices together to create a beautiful fragrance?" Seeing her nodding, she said, "Carefully studying, perfume is not only a craft, but also a skill, can imagine all kinds of magical and beautiful fragrances in advance, and then mix out, this is a real perfumer, this is not only to have good craftsmanship, but also to cultivate high knowledge...... "sighed, "It's a pity, the world doesn't understand these, only rote memorization, copying and copying the ancestors' secret recipes, until now, looking at it, after Wei's, there is no real perfumer in the entire Great Zhou...... There is a kind of sadness in the tone that the deceased has passed away.

Li Laohan snorted and was speechless.

Mu Wanqiu's heart moved.

The beginning of Wei's perfumery says, "Perfumery is an art, just as painting is not a hodgepodge of colors, incense is not a simple accumulation of spices; To create a good fragrance, you need not only a quick olfactory memory, but also a rich imagination...... A true perfumer can smell the scent of the mind before the incense he wants to concoct exists, just as a painter conceives the outline of a painting before he paints......"

At first, she didn't understand, but the more she went on, the more she felt the profundity of this sentence, and at this time, after Kong Yong's little push, she suddenly felt enlightened:

Yes, it is said that it is difficult to create incense because people do not create incense

Just like painting, those imitation of famous artists, stroke by stroke imitation of fakes, even if the color of the set is subtle and slightly warped, in the realistic, it is still a fake, unbearable for everyone, a reason, those perfumers who use ancestral secret recipes to make fragrance, even if they can make a good fragrance, but after all, it is not a creation, and it is always unbearable to be a grandmaster

Only creation can be unique.

Those famous calligraphers and painters, before creating, all conceived in advance to paint, and then they chose to use color, start the brush, move the brush, and finally sketch the beauty of the idea.

The same goes for incense, if you can remember the taste of various single incense and the taste mixed with them, then, when you want to create a novel fragrance, just choose the appropriate spice according to the memory of the taste, and slowly adjust it.

On the contrary, people in the world can make a specific incense by only cutting and blending according to the ancestral secret recipe, and as for the shape and taste of the incense, it will only be the same when it is made.

Just like the green incense she made according to Wei's perfume concoction, before, she didn't know that she would make it, only according to Wei's secret recipe step by step, until it was dried, the incense she came out was actually cyan, not the Qi shopkeeper of the Tianfeng Incense Pavilion to recognize the incense, so that it was lit and smelled, and it had long been treated as a waste product by Lin Hai.

At that time, looking at the sparkling incense of Luo Luo, although she faintly felt that the fragrance was not good, she had no confidence at all, and she did not dare to distinguish that it was a pot of peerless fragrance

If she had made the same incense at that time, would there have been that embarrassing scene that day?

If she can master such a secret technique, and she can try to mix out the fragrance she has smelled, isn't it the imitation incense that people say, in the same way, the fragrance of ideas that do not exist in this world is mixed out in this way, doesn't it create a new fragrance?

As for whether the incense created is good or bad, it all depends on the smell of the mind, but this depends on personal knowledge, cultivation and spirituality.

This is a kind of perception that can only be understood, but cannot be spoken.

can really reach that state, then, looking at the world, in front of her, who would dare to say that the secret recipe in her hand is unique

Flashes of inspiration, Mu Wanqiu's heart thumped.

Although she still doesn't know how to make incense, she is still far from that realm, but she feels that she has touched the door of the incense path, and the Wei fragrance blending technique in her arms is no longer a book from heaven, and the secret technique that she has memorized in her mind has become active one after another, making her blood boiling all over her body, eager to try.

“…… Good, good. She nodded again and again, "Master Kong is absolutely right. ”

"Ah ............" Li Laohan called her in surprise.

He didn't hear Kong Yong's words, so good?

It has something to do with whether the font on the plaque is delicate or vigorous.

“…… Master Kong is saying that perfume should be superb artistic accomplishment, and fragrance should be timeless and mellow, not vigorous and powerful......" Mu Wanqiu looked at Kong Yong, "Am I right, Master Kong?" ”

"Yes, that's what it means...... Kong Yong's eyes lit up, "Moreover, there are many people in the fragrance world, and they prefer this timeless and delicate big character......" His gaze fell on Mu Wanqiu's somewhat unnatural face, and his voice stopped abruptly.

He forgot that black was a man.

“…… Okay," Mu Wanqiu coughed lightly, "I used these three words to make a plaque." Looking at Kong Yong, "How much silver?" ”

"Bai Yefang......" Kong Yong read again in a low voice, "just these three words?" Looking up at Mu Wanqiu, "...... No more changes? He felt that no matter whether the name was similar or not, no matter who looked at it, he couldn't guess that this Kashiwa Yefang was made.

Such a signboard can't even make money by shouting, can it make money?

“……？” Mu Wanqiu was stunned, "This character is not well written?" ”

"No, it's not ......" Kong Yong shook his head again and again, and the topic changed, "Since Hei wants to open an incense shop, why don't you use Heiji, or ......" He looked down and thought, "The signature incense name of the fang ......" looked down at a few big characters, "This Bai Ye ...... It's ......," he shook his head, his voice abruptly stopped.

The cypress leaves are used to light the fire, which is too ordinary, and there is really no head.

"Master Kong is right......" Li Laohan interjected, "It's better to use the word "Heiji"......" He also thinks that this Bai Ye has no meaning, and it is not loud, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through.

This "cypress leaf" is her signature incense in the future

Her father was a prisoner of the imperial court, and she didn't dare to use the surname Mu as a signboard, but she didn't want to cheapen the surname Hei, so she chose Bai Yexiang, the signature incense she had booked, as the name of the store.

Mu Wanqiu shook her head decisively, "Just use this ......" and smiled mysteriously, "Don't be afraid, after the Douxiang Meeting, the word 'Bai Ye' will be loud."

After the Douxiang Meeting?

The two of them looked at her in unison, and they didn't understand, such an ordinary two words, after the Douxiang Meeting, it would suddenly become louder?

Smiling slightly, Mu Wanqiu didn't explain, and looked at Kong Yong, "How much silver?" ”

With a faint smile under the black veil, Kong Yong was dizzy for a moment, and felt more and more that the person in front of him was unfathomable, and he was stunned for a long time before he spoke, "Such a big character, even writing and carving one costs three taels of silver, you wrote, we are only responsible for rubbing and carving, plus wood, well......" Thinking back, he thought about it carefully, "You can give me five taels of silver......" admired the personable person in front of him with a mysterious quality, he asked for less.

“…… Okay" Mu Wanqiu took out a piece of broken silver, estimated that there were seven or eight taels, "Don't look for it, I'll pick up the goods the day after tomorrow......"

Biting his tongue in distress, Li Laohan's lips moved, and then closed again.

"Thank you, black ......" took the broken silver, Kong Yong's face turned red with excitement, "I'll use the good mahogany, and I'll pick it up early the next morning." ”

Nodding, Mu Wanqiu took Li Laohan and walked out.

"Hei Liubu ......" His eyes fell on those three words, Kong Yong remembered, and turned back to stop her.

“…… The matter? Mu Wanqiu turned her head.

"Do you want to make a payment for black......" he pointed to the three big characters of Bai Yefang.

Like the inscription poem couplet, Shuoyang pop leaves the name of the inscription in the lower left corner of the plaque.

Like the stars at midnight, Mu Wanqiu's ethereal eyes lit up, and she said, "Good ......"

Seeing that she clearly printed the word "Li" on the lower left corner of Baiye Fang with the red mark on the jade plate on her waist, Kong Yong's eyes widened in astonishment, "No wonder this person is so mysterious, it turns out that he is actually a member of the Li family."

Turning around abruptly, looking at the fluttering figure that disappeared into the carriage outside the door, Kong Yong muttered to himself, "The people of the Li family actually ran a great business to open a fragrant shop?" Looking up at the gray and windy sky, "It's going to be a different day......"

……

“…… Ah Qiu, the two words Bai Ye are really not suitable for the name of the store...... "After unloading the carriage, Li Laohan said as soon as he entered the house.

The lock lady who was pulling Mu Wanqiu and sitting on the edge of the kang was stunned, "Again?" ”

“…… Uncle didn't think I had the name I gave to the workshop...... It's ......," Mu Wanqiu said with a smile as she pulled the chain.

"Bad name?" The lock lady was even more confused, "...... Isn't there a ready-made signboard that doesn't skip words.

Han Ji is a time-honored brand, and the signboard is very hard.

"I didn't want ......" Glancing at Li Laohan, Mu Wanqiu said to Suozi Niang casually, "Seven hundred taels to exchange for Han Ji is because I didn't ask for his signboard ......" and then said in detail about the signing of the contract with Han Changsheng, "...... When I went to see it, the spices in the Guanghou Library were also worth seven hundred taels. ”

After a year of collecting spice samples, she knows the fragrance market well.

“…… Really" the lock lady looked happy, "The price is really down for you?" "In the blink of an eye, the lock lady is still a little no, Mu Wanqiu actually has such a good means.

“…… What do you know about home" glanced at the lock mother, and Li Laohan said in a sullen voice.

Yes By].
