Chapter 46 Registration (I)
“…… I? Sannier was stunned, pointed to the tip of her nose and asked, then shook her head like a wave drum, "How can I be qualified?" It's good that Master Lu is willing to accept me......" smiled wryly, "I'm just a registered apprentice, and Master Lu doesn't teach me personally, it's all ...... led by the senior sister."
Master Lu's name is Lu Hong, a second-level perfumer, and he is Yao Ji's No. 2 perfumer.
"That'...... That's not bad......" Mu Wanqiu smiled awkwardly, "I can't even get in yet, by the way, ......" The topic changed, "I didn't say how much it was a month?" ”
"Five hundred wen...... Sannier's eyes sparkled, "Try it for three months first, and if you are officially hired, you will be given eight hundred wen!" Then he asked, "How much do you spend a month?" ”
"One hundred and fifty Wen ......," Mu Wanqiu shrugged, "It's far worse than you." ”
"As long as you are willing to study hard, you will ...... in the future" Thinking that Master Liu refused to teach her anything, Sannier's voice stopped abruptly, and after a pause, she turned to say, "Yao Ji's work is also more tiring than yours, keep cutting, frying, baking, ......" She counted with her fingers, "I heard that you can't be idle every day from morning to night" She sighed, "I'm afraid I don't have time to prepare for this year's third level............"
But that's also learning a real craft!
After reading the encyclopedia of spices, Mu Wanqiu knew that if you want to concoct spices, don't underestimate this cutting, boiling, steaming, stir-frying, broiling, cannoning, baking, flying, etc., each of which contains a set of profound techniques and subtle skills, which cannot be learned by reading just two pages of a book, which requires a lot of repeated practice and accumulation.
She dreamed of having such an opportunity!
"By the way......" was silent for a moment, remembering what Sannier had just said about preparing a third-level perfumer, Mu Wanqiu asked, "...... When will I take the test, and will I still be in a hurry to register now? ”
“…… Do you want to take Level 3? Sannier's eyes widened in surprise, although she had been encouraging Mu Wanqiu not to give up, but after all, Mu Wanqiu couldn't even distinguish the single fragrance now, and she didn't even know the spices!
Taking the third level exam is not a trick, just think about it and pass.
“…… I just want to feel the atmosphere, and I have a lot of work to do with it. Knowing why Sannier was surprised, Mu Wanqiu smiled indifferently, "...... Even if you can't get by, it's good to have such an experience in your life. ”
This is her psychological words, she knows very little about the first time she is involved in the incense industry, and she is in Xiaoxiangfang, she has no opportunity to contact the master-level figures, for the third-level perfumer, the exam is not secondary, can take the opportunity to listen to everyone's talk, must also benefit a lot.
“…… Also right...... was also stunned for a long time, Sannier came back to her senses, nodded again and again, "Twenty-first ...... of the lunar month" remembered something, and suddenly asked, "By the way, what time is the beginning of today?" ”
"September 28......"
"September twenty-eight?" Sannier repeated unconsciously, she suddenly dragged Mu Wanqiu and walked out, "Let's go, today is the last day of registration!" ”
"This ...... I ......" Mu Wanqiu was stunned, no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't just leave, "Wait for me to talk to the owner first......" As she spoke, Mu Wanqiu turned around, her body trembled, "...... Forest...... Sister-in-law......"
Sister-in-law Lin stood at the door for some reason.
"Ah Qiu is going to sign up......" was also taken aback, and Sannier simply explained, "Today is the last day, no matter how late it is, there will be no hurry, and I ask Sister-in-law Lin to ......be gracious."
said yes, San Nier's tone was not humble at all, in her opinion, she couldn't learn anything in Lin Ji, since Mu Wanqiu wanted to learn perfumery, she shouldn't spend time doing handymanship here.
"This is a good thing......" There was no joy or anger on her face, and Sister-in-law Lin's voice was faint.
"But ......" Mu Wanqiu glanced at the incense in the yard and wanted Sister-in-law Lin to take care of it, but after all, they were the owners, so it was hard to say.
“…… There you go. She also looked back at the incense shelf, and Sister-in-law Lin waved her hand, "Remember to come back early." ”
"Hey......" Mu Wanqiu responded cheerfully.
Shuoyang has an unwritten rule, no matter how big your workshop is, if the incense worker wants to take the perfumer exam, the owner is not allowed to stop and deduct wages, in front of Sannier, the future perfumer of Yao Ji, Sister-in-law Lin doesn't want to leave the handle, looking at Mu Wanqiu's back, she pursed her lips, and a touch of mockery flashed on her lips:
I don't even know the spices, and I still want to take the third-level perfumer exam, it's really a fool's dream!
……
"Yao Ji's knife work is getting rougher and rougher......" Sitting in the courtyard with Sister-in-law Lin, Master Liu rummaged through the spices in the dustpan in front of him, and picked up a half-inch-long sandalwood slice, "This is a sandalwood piece, it has become a sandalwood segment!" Stroked the incision with his hand and showed it to Sister-in-law Lin, "Look at this incision, it is uneven, like a saw, which one is cut with a knife!" ”
“…… Yao Ji began to train novices again. "I took it and looked at it, and Sister-in-law Lin threw it into the dustpan, "When I cut the material, my hand trembled like this...... "I sighed, "Every time they come to the novice, the remnants are sold to us, and the good ones are left to the Daye Li family......"
“…… Shuoyang is full of spice shops, and there is still a shortage of spices? Master Liu snorted, "It's better for the owner to buy spices in another store, why bother hanging in front of a house and being manipulated!" The tone was quite resentful, and in the past few days, several spice stores have secretly given her gifts, encouraging her to persuade Sister-in-law Lin to improve her own spices, which is a great opportunity.
"Although the knife work is not good, but Yao Ji's concoction technique is good......" Sister-in-law Lin picked up a piece of sandalwood and handed it to Master Liu, "Look at this color, and smell this smell, although the knife work is rough, but this color and taste is authentic, and the incense made is easy to sell......" paused, "Yao Ji also said that these cut materials were specially concocted by the master master, but they were ugly, the quality is absolutely fine, and it is the same to use, and ......" After a little hesitation, Sister-in-law Lin said calmly, "They are also discounted......"
“…… Discount?! ”
Obviously, he was not lightly angry, Master Liu's apricot eyes stood up, and he looked at Sister-in-law Lin for a long time, seeing that she was picking spices unhurriedly, and forcibly suppressed the anger churning in her chest, lowered her head and picked up an inch-long sandalwood and handed it to Sister-in-law Lin, "...... Sandalwood is a fire, and it is easy to get upset and dry after smelling it for a long time, or how to not burn sandalwood in the Taoist temple......" The tone was extremely excited, and Master Liu kept rummaging the nearly one-inch-long sandalwood piece to show Sister-in-law Lin, "...... The same spice, because of the different incense to be made, the processing method is also different, our Guanyin incense is for the temple, and the sandalwood added in it must be fed with tea first, to dry and go to the fire...... This material is cut evenly, and it will be soaked evenly and thoroughly when feeding the tea soup, completely removing the dryness, and the aroma is quiet and peaceful...... "Break it open," you see, the cut is so big, and the surface layer is still hard when the tea soup is penetrated...... "She exhaled, "Besides, such a large section, grinding is also time-consuming and laborious!" ”
