Although she is talented, Yao Jin is impetuous, and unlike Mu Wanqiu, who has to do everything herself, compared to Wen Wei, her hands-on ability is extremely poor, and she lost her hand in the previous Jia Xiang, and only scored thirty-four points, if this concocted sandalwood can stand out, plus Wen Wenxiang's results, she still has hope to break into the top ten.

At that time, Li Jun will definitely be impressed by her

As the future head of the perfume industry, Li Jun pays the most attention to talents, not only perfume, no matter what aspect, as long as it enters his eyes, he will try his best to make friends and do his best to collect it under the command of Li Shi.

“…… It's almost over, and the highest score is only seventy-two. Jin Hai stretched out his fingers and counted the remaining spices one by one, "As long as you can get more than 80 points, you can stand out."

“…… Congratulations, "Someone next to Yao Jin patted his ass.

With a rooster's chest as high, Yao Jin seemed to have seen the warm scene of her proudly walking towards the scarlet carpet with flowers and applause, her eyes looked around, and when she saw Mu Wanqiu who was concentrating on watching the incense performance, she clenched her fists and waved at her.

made a gesture of disdain.

Feeling a sharp gaze coming, Mu Wanqiu subconsciously turned her head, didn't see it, turned her head again, and watched the incense performance seriously.

This kind of performance, she has seen it more than once in her previous life, but unfortunately, she didn't understand incense at that time, she just sat there elegantly and watched the excitement, today it seems that Xue Zhen's every movement is so harmonious, mysterious, accompanied by the ethereal and quiet sound of the piano, it is actually a different context, unconsciously, she imitated it......

After burying the carbon and making a hole, Xue Zhen put a thin piece of silver into the incense burner, grinded it lightly with five fingers, took a thin piece of sandalwood and crushed it and put it on the silver sheet......

The little maid stepped forward to take it and held it to Gu Qin with both hands.

After taking a light breath, Gu Qin's expression was shocked, he raised his head and stopped for a moment, then lowered his head and sniffed it carefully, and only after a long time did he hand the incense burner to President Yin, and casually scored on the brand.

"Be quiet, be quiet......" took over Gu Qin's split, and the steward changed his voice excitedly, "...... Master Gu gave the highest score for concocted spices - five points"

Wow, there was a commotion in the audience.

“…… Who is it? Everyone's eyes fell on the name tag that was covered by red paper.

Intending to adjust everyone's appetite, the steward took the other judges' splits and read aloud, "President Yin, point eight, Master Qi, point eight, Master Song, point seven...... Total, seventeen points" The green tendons on the steward's excited forehead jumped high.

"Quickly reveal the name sign......" The audience shouted in unison, pushing the Douxiang Club to the most important since the start of the competition.

"The winner of the seventeenth score is ......," the steward stretched out his voice.

Watching President Yin slowly stand up and brush the ground, everyone held their breath.

Yao Jin's face turned red, his breathing was short, and his eyes were fixed on President Yin's hand for a moment.

"Shao ......" As President Yin removed the red paper with his hand, the steward read aloud, "Shao of Bai Ji...... Master Shao, please come to the stage."

"Yes?" Yao Jin's body shook and almost fell.

"......" Jin Hai helped her.

“…… It must have been read," Yao Jin screamed.

provoked everyone to look back and open their mouths to mock, but when they saw that it was the Yao family, they shut up again.

"Yao Jin, eighteen points ......" was shouting, and the steward on the stage loudly announced the scores just evaluated.

Yao Jin Jin looked at the stage at the same time.

The two plates of sandalwood slices are exactly the same shape, size, and color, and both shimmer purple in the sun.

"I protest......" Yao Jin shouted.

Never, no one dared to protest against the judges' scoring at the Douxiang meeting, his face sank, and Gu Qin's eyes swept coldly.

"She is the Yao family, her name is Yao Jin, the one who is most likely to marry with the big ......" Fu Ling whispered in Gu Qin's ear.

Frowning, Gu Qin endured his impatience and turned his eyes to look at President Yin.

"Master Yao has any objections, please come up and say ......" In an instant, President Yin regained his composure and said politely to Yao.

“…… The sandalwood slices I and Master Shao concocted have the same quality and color, but the score is so different? Parting from everyone, Yao Jin walked up slowly.

The steward had already brought two sandalwood slices to one place.

"Really, these two sets are exactly the same...... someone in the audience shouted, and more people watched the excitement.

"These two plates of sandalwood slices are the same color, but the taste and flavor are a lot different......" Gu Qin waved his hand at the little maid, "Take the incense burner to ......"

The little maid quickly turned around and took two large incense burners.

Gu Qin grabbed a few pieces of sandalwood and lit it in the incense burner, "Sandalwood is produced in the humid and hot zone of the south, it is fire, dry and vigorous, and the first thing to do when concocting it is to remove its dry......ness" Fan fanned the smoke in the incense burner, Gu Qin can talk about it, "The best way to dry is to feed it with tea, and then use the honey wine cellar, and finally ......" she paused, "It is fried, first fry it on high heat for half an hour; Fry for another quarter of an hour; Finally, use low heat until purple gas ......"

"Yes, that's how I concocted it......" Before Gu Qin finished speaking, Yao Jin interjected, "I used the best Biluochun ......"

Gu Qin waved his hand, "...... What's the most important thing you want to concoct sandalwood? ”

"This ......" Yao Jin hesitated for a while, in front of everyone, she really didn't dare to answer easily.

"Hey the tea ......," someone in the audience shouted.

"And?" Gu Qin turned his face to look at the audience.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Tea can nourish nature, so you have to feed it with tea to dry the fire, but ......" Gu Qin changed her words, "The key to sandalwood concoction is not to feed tea, but to calm the heart" The voice was stunned, and she slowly swept through the crowd, "Only when you reach the realm of calm as water, can you concoct this almost Zen and quiet rhyme...... and ordered another copy and handed it to Yao Jin, "You smell it, how much worse is this taste?" ”

"I ......" only took a sip, and Yao Jin was a little overwhelmed.

The appearance is similar and the color is the same, but the taste and fragrance of the two incense burners are worlds apart

"Feed tea, honey cellar, stir-frying, this ring and that link can't be any worse, if you don't do it, the effect is hard to find, and if it's too much, the taste will ......be lost," President Yin took over, "Master Yao was less patient when feeding the tea, and the turning was not timely, so that the dryness of the sandalwood could not be completely eliminated, and the sandalwood slices that were concocted looked like the color and shape were all superior, but the taste was ......" He shook his head.

The most important thing about spices is taste

Someone in the audience whistled.

Blushing to the neck, Yao Jin hated to have a crack in the ground to get into.

Yao Shixing, who was sitting on the judges' seat, also turned red with shame, and turned his head to let the personal servant drag Yao Jin down quickly.

After evaluating the spices, President Yin waved his hand, and the officials at the venue quickly moved out the list of the incense group, and stood opposite to the list of the processing group.

Seven of the ten judges are from the great cause of incense, and the taste for the identification of incense products can be said to have reached the extreme, and this little skill of Shuoyang people can't get into their eyes at all.

More than half of the more than 30 incense products were taken away in a blink of an eye, and the voice of the steward reporting the score was also listless like a cat's meow.

Gradually, some people complained.

Taste the fragrance, taste the fragrance, this incense does not burn, does not smell or taste, you can distinguish the good from the bad?

However, there is a precedent of Yao Jin, although he is not convinced, thinking that the judges are perfunctory, but no one dares to stand up and plead, but as the speed of the evaluation on the stage is getting faster and faster, the scores are getting lower and lower, and people's complaints are getting louder and louder.

Hearing the increasingly dissatisfied complaints from the audience, Fu Ling's forehead oozed sweat, looking at Gu Qin, who couldn't lift her energy, her lips moved and moved, she wanted to speak and stopped, when she raised her eyes, she saw a plate of green incense sticks at the end, and her heart moved, "Master, look, there is really a Buddha incense ......"

"Where?" Gu Qin's eyelids moved, "I remember that no one seems to have chosen the topic of incense......"

“…… The one was the last to arrive. The little maid took a pill and put it down in front of Gu Qin, and when she heard this, she hurriedly explained.

"Oh......" Gu Qin squinted.

At the end of the case, a plate of Buddha incense with the thickness of bamboo sticks, shining with green light in the sun, swaying like fairy supplies, "green fragrance" She was shocked, and secretly thought, "...... That green incense is really made by Shuoyang people."

Breaking the convention, there were seven judges at this year's incense fighting meeting, not just as the legend said, collecting incense recipes for Princess Mingyu, but, as early as a few months ago, there were secret rumors in the incense world:

The secret art of the Wei Clan, which had been missing for many years, has appeared

And it just so happened that at this time, Shuoyang appeared again with the popular green fragrance, which was very Wei's style.

Therefore, the characters with a little weight in the Daye Incense Guild flocked to Shuoyang, and the evaluation was fake, all wanting to be the first to get the information about Wei's secret arts, so as to be able to get a piece of the pie.

On the first day of coming to Daye, Gu Qin went to the Tianfeng Incense Pavilion and tasted the green incense, and she was even more convinced of the rumors that this was groundless, but it caused a sensation in the entire incense world.

Although the shopkeeper of Qi repeatedly denied it, she still secretly sent a master to turn the Tianfeng incense tube and the mansion of the shopkeeper of Qi upside down, not even letting go of the mouse hole, and did not find the so-called secret book of the legend, which made Gu Qin both disappointed and confused.

In desperation, the Wei Qingxiang who suddenly saw this legend was made alive and placed in front of her, Gu Qin's excitement can be imagined, "Bring it up......" she commanded in a trembling voice.

"Yes......" Fu Ling answered and left in person.

Looking at the bundle of Buddha incense with bamboo sticks that were as straight as a stick, as smooth as jade, and flowing blue, Gu Qin's heart skipped a beat, "...... It's really the green fragrance of the Heavenly Wind Fragrance Pavilion," she reached out and picked it up.

Wrong

In his hand, Gu Qincai is just similar in color, these incense sticks are much heavier than the green incense of Tianfeng Incense Pavilion, and they are straighter and have a smoother surface.

“…… So heavy? Gu Qin flicked it with her fingers.

Dealing with incense every day, she knows how many ingredients are used in a piece of incense, and it is also made of wood powder, according to the thickness of this incense, it should never be so heavy.

Gradually, Gu Qin's face turned blue:

Could it be that this incense is also the same as the plate of sandalwood concocted by Yao Jin?

Outside the gold and jade, it is defeated

Yes By].
