Chapter 54: Searching

“…… The virtuous nephew refers to the incense burned in front of the Zhong family's incense stall? Yao Shixing's body was shocked, "The virtuous nephew also thinks it's a strange fragrance?" ”

Li Jun nodded, "...... Uncle, this is incense? Then he asked, "By whom?" ”

"The old man sent someone to Zhong's house......" Yao Shixing shook his head, "Saying that in the morning, I met Guanyin Niangniang's manifestation and sent a bag of spices, Zhong Erniu's stunned boy thought it was a pile of rotten leaves, so he threw it into the fire and burned it...... "I laughed dumbly, "I heard that the stunned boy is regretting it at home......"

“…… Guanyin apparition? After being stunned for a moment, Li Jun chuckled, "Uncle didn't let people ask him, did you see what that Guanyin Niangniang looked like?" ”

“…… Do you believe it? Hearing the banter in the laughter, Yao Shixing raised his head.

“…… The incense was clearly made of cypress leaves. Turning around, he asked the little boy to take out a few blackened cypress leaves that he had just collected at the market, "Very Wei's style......" The tone was slight, and Li Jun seemed to fall into deep thought, "It actually reminded me of the old days of my childhood......

“…… Master Wei, "Yao Shixing took the remnant leaves," ...... Yes? Can an ordinary cypress leaf be treated with such a magical taste? ”

I didn't go to the market today, and Yao Shixing didn't believe the rumors that the people in the market were amazing, if the blackened rotten leaf in his hand hadn't been handed over to him by Li Jun solemnly, he would have been left behind.

"When I was a child, I heard my father say that Wei's comprehension of incense, as a generation of perfumers, has reached the realm of supernatural ...... of incense.

"Picking flowers and twisting leaves can be ......fragrant," Yao Shixing muttered unconsciously, put the blackened leaves under his nose, sat up straight, "Come on, take the incense burner......

The little maid took in a delicate three-legged blue and white porcelain incense burner, took half of the remaining cypress leaves, lit it in the incense burner, and gently stirred it with a fan.

Suddenly, the fragrance came to my nose.

After closing his eyes and tasting for a long time, Yao Shixing suddenly opened his eyes, "What the virtuous nephew said no, this fragrance really has the wind of the fragrance master Wei ......" sighed, "The old man has not smelled such a fragrance close to nature for a long time" His eyes were empty, and his mouth kept muttering, "Just now it was like returning to my childhood, it was early spring, and I was frolicking and chasing with my friends on the green grass...... Could it be ......" The two unfocused eyes suddenly converged in one place, and he straightened up and stared at Li Jun tightly, "...... Does the Wei family have a descendant? ”

smiled leisurely, Li Jun was speechless.

“…… Someone came" was stunned for a long time, Yao Shixing turned around and shouted, "If you go to Zhong's house again, you must ask if it was the incense that someone gave him, what does that person look like?" ”

"Master......" The housekeeper Yao Fu bowed forward, "The slave asked again and again, the stunned boy really didn't, he just said that he picked it up in the snow......"

"It's also ......" Yao Shixing also calmed down, "If anyone gave it, he would have kowtowed to thank him in the morning."

Nodding, Li Jun was noncommittal.

Looking at him with an intriguing look on his face, after a long time, Yao Shixing took another residual leaf on the table, turned his head and handed it to the housekeeper Yao Fu, "...... Let the third master personally take this to the market and ask me door to door" took a big breath, "I must find out, whose Bai Yexiang is"

"If my uncle finds out, he must inform me......" Looking at the back of Yao Fu leaving, Li Jun said, "It's a pity to be such a god......

"Yes...... Yao Shixing sighed, "Since Grandmaster Wei, the talent in the perfume world has withered, and Master Guqin is known as the master of perfumery, but he only occasionally imitates a half-kind incense, which has little practical value...... Nowadays, many in-demand spices have long been facing exhaustion, if there is no Wei Shi in ten years, a wonderful hand that can create fragrance and imitate incense, I am afraid that the fragrance industry of Da Zhou will also wither......"

The so-called "imitation fragrance" is to mix a variety of spices according to the appropriate ratio to bring out the taste of another spice. Yao Shixing's meaning is very simple, if there is an imitation incense expert in Da Zhou, and some low-priced, abundant spices can imitate other spices whose resources are on the verge of depletion, then Da Zhou's perfume industry can have a chance to continue to develop.

As a well-known person in the spice industry, as far as Yao Shixing knows, there are currently more than 100 kinds of spices on the verge of depletion, if you can't imitate their taste in time, find out the substitutes in time, or simply create new recipes, then, when these spices are completely exhausted, those spices as the main ingredients are useless, so that a large number of fragrance recipes are eliminated and abolished, but they can't be innovated, and the fragrance industry of Dazhou will naturally wither......

Very much in favor of Yao Shixing's point of view, Li Jun nodded speechlessly, and said secretly, "...... This person, I'm afraid it has already appeared, but it's just ......" Li Jun raised his eyes to look at the confused snow outside the window, "...... Where is she hiding? ”

Like a heavy topic, the air was so dull that people couldn't see through, and the hall could hear the needles dropping.

“…… How many days does the virtuous nephew plan to spend in Shuoyang? After a long time, Yao Shixing broke the silence.

"It's going to be the New Year, and I plan to leave tomorrow......"

Yao Shixing was stunned, and then shook his head, "Even if you leave early in the morning, I'm afraid that the virtuous nephew won't be able to catch up with the New Year, so it's better to ......spend the New Year here with the old man."

It would be best to do this, so that Yao Jin would have more opportunities to get along with him, Yao Shixing looked at Li Jun with affection.

“…… My BMW travels thousands of miles a day, and I may be able to catch up. Li Jun shook his head, "My father is waiting for me to celebrate the New Year, by the way, ......" Remembering, he suddenly asked, "An old friend of mine is coming to Shuoyang to open a fragrant shop, has she ever looked for her uncle?" ”

“…… Old friends? Yao Shixing frowned in thought, "His name?" ”

"The surname is white, the single word is autumn, um......" he muttered for a moment, "It's a slender ...... Clear...... Black little girl......"

“…… A skinny black girl? Yao Shixing was stunned for a moment, looking Li Jun up and down, he never pretended to be a woman, could there be such a person who sounded ugly? After pondering for a long time, he shook his head, "...... The old man doesn't remember that there was such a person in the house, if it was an old friend of the virtuous nephew, the old man would definitely treat him as a guest. ”

"Uncle ask the concierge again, will it ......" Li Jun's voice stopped abruptly.

The concierge of a large family has always been above the top, could it be that she came and was turned away by the concierge?

"This ......"

No matter how ugly his appearance is, the person who can be regarded by Li Jun must be an extraordinary person, and his porter will be gone?

What's more, as long as the person who comes mentions that it is the Li family, even if he doesn't have any credentials, the porter will not dare to slack off, this is an iron law on the door of his Yao family Hearing this, Yao Shixing's expression changed slightly, and after a moment, he turned his head and ordered someone to go to the gatehouse to have a look.

After a while, the little guy came in and said, "...... All the porters asked, I have never seen such a person come to ......"

She didn't come

Hearing this, Li Jun's heart gave birth to a faint sense of loss out of thin air, although he gave a jade pendant, but faintly, he always felt that with her lonely height, he would never ask for help from Yao Jimen, so as soon as he arrived in Shuoyang, he went directly to the bazaar, he wanted to meet her in the bazaar unexpectedly, Li Jun shook his head with a smile, how can there be so many adventures in this world?

I don't know if it's the sound of her piano that has reached the extreme, or the spirit of the wealth that is as flat as water, or her ethereal eyes that always seem to hide a mysterious and lonely eye, which stimulates his desire to seek the truth, in short, I heard the foreign manager Li Fan say that he wanted to come to Shuoyang to buy goods, he didn't think about it, and followed, although the New Year is approaching, it is likely that he will not be able to catch up with the New Year.

He just wanted to see if she was doing well in Shuoyang.

“…… The virtuous nephew said that she came to Shuoyang to open an incense shop, but can you know the name of the incense shop? After a moment of silence, Yao Shixing asked.

"Bai Ji Xiangfang, um......" Li Jun's spirit was shocked, "It should be in August and January......"

“…… There is only one Baiji in Shuoyang, which is a time-honored brand in Xichengkou, and business is booming. Unexpectedly, Yao Shixing shook his head, "I haven't heard of it being exchanged recently?" ”

"Her surname is Bai, and she said that she was going to open a Baiji Xiangfang......" also felt abrupt, Li Jun smiled dumbly, "Shuoyang already has a Baiji, and it is difficult to say if she changes to another name......" Raising his head again, "...... Uncle, can there be a stranger to exchange the incense shop between ** month? ”

There are more outsiders who come to Shuoyang Pandui Xiangfang, and finding a black and thin little girl is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack

"There is absolutely no large-scale exchange, as for those small households ......" He shook his head, "It happens almost every day in Shuoyang City...... Seeing that Li Jun's face darkened, he said, "Virtuous nephew thinks, the old man will send someone to the incense guild to ask, and all the shops in Shuoyang have a case in the incense guild." ”

With millions, with her atmospheric temperament, if she wants a plate, she will definitely plate a big incense workshop, those small workshops, can't get into her eyes, in the spice world, Yao Shixing is the leading boss in Shuoyang, and the vice president of the incense guild, such a large amount of exchange, will never cross him, perhaps, she didn't come to Shuoyang at all.

She lied to him

The thought flashed, Li Jun's heart was cold for a while, and he felt that there was no need to let Yao Shixing go to the incense guild to inquire, but he blurted out, "...... Uncle Lao bothered? ”

The person who can make Li Jun call and care about it like this must not be a mortal

Originally, it was just a kind word, but I didn't want to, Li Jun actually fell into his heart, Yao Shixing was shocked, he looked at Li Jun deeply for a long time, and said, "...... Okay, don't worry, the old man will send someone to inquire......"

Standing in the courtyard, staring at the heavy snow, Yao Shixing said to himself, "...... A skinny little black girl? What kind of person is she? ”

……

It was only sunny for a while, and after noon, the heavy snow fell like cotton wool again, and half of the sky was gloomy, Li Laohan swept the snow on the side of the spices with a goose feather duster, and looked at the sparse merchants in the bazaar, and muttered, "...... With such a heavy snowfall, who still comes to the market, and if you can't make trouble, this old goods will have to be pressed until next year......"

"Daddy......" The little face of the lock was red from the cold, and he looked at the sellers who had begun to close the stalls with envy with his small eyes, "Everyone has accepted it, let's take it too......" At noon, he only baked a cake on the fire to eat, and he missed the hot corn paste made by his mother very much.

Yes By].
