"Driving the ......" Li Laohan grabbed the reins, and the carriage stopped beside Mu Wanqiu, "Are you going to catch the market, Ah Qiu is not going to join in the fun today?" ”
The whole street knows that Lin Ji's little handyman is a must-see at every market, not to sell spices, not to buy spices, she is a specialist and others to collect the stall and pick up garbage.
“…… Go to market? Mu Wanqiu's eyes lit up, "Uncle, it's all over, and there is still a set?" ”
“…… Yes! Li Laohan took a breath of cold air, "The nineteenth day of the lunar month is the last incense collection in the first year, and the next set will have to wait until next spring, the year is closed, and everyone who has old materials at home is rushing to sell it on this market, isn't it ......" He turned his head and pointed to a carriage full of spices, "...... I have to hurry to occupy a place for the owner, and if it's too late, I won't have a good place......" He smoothed the reins, "What, Sister-in-law Lin didn't tell you?" Aren't they going to sell Guanyin incense today? He sighed again, "It's the New Year, if you want to say that it is good to sell, count the Guanyin incense ......."
Suddenly remembering that in the past few days, Sister-in-law Lin has broken the convention of producing one pot of incense in three days, and for five days in a row, Master Liu has produced more than 30,000 incense sticks in a row, Mu Wanqiu's smile froze on her face, and she shook her head slowly.
Those incense must have been prepared for this incense collection, and Master Liu even began to hide this from her!
"Ah Qiu, work leisurely, no one will pay you more, drive ......" Seeing Mu Wanqiu clenching the shovel, Li Laohan flicked his whip violently, and the carriage moved forward with a creak, and the wheels pressed against the thick snow, making a creaking sound, and drove towards the dark street......
Turning around and standing in the middle of the road, Mu Wanqiu quietly looked at the back of the carriage, and suddenly, she threw the shovel in her hand, pulled her legs and ran back.
Panting and opening the baggage, there was nothing to do except for the set of clothes embroidered with red flowers that the pillar mother changed for her, remembering that the last set of single clothes with good materials was also reluctantly changed by her into this rough cotton clothes, Mu Wanqiu fell to the ground.
I don't have any money to buy a sample, what should I do?
She collected all the spice samples that she could collect that didn't cost money, and those expensive ones, such as musk and agarwood, would not be thrown away as garbage.
To learn these incense, she had no choice but to spend money to buy samples.
This is the last incense set, and if you miss it, you will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year.
Pulling up the curtain under the table, Mu Wanqiu stared at the pile of bottles and cans hidden under the table, she was already familiar with the smell and characteristics of these spices, and they could all be exchanged for silver, but the people who went to the incense collection, in addition to selling, most of them were bought in batches, who would sell such a little single incense, and even some samples were not enough to test the smell on the spot.
Even if the sample can be sold, once Master Liu knows that she is learning to make incense in the dark, I am afraid that she will be coaxed away immediately, this ice and snow, she has not even understood the main ingredient of Lin Ji's Guanyin incense and is penniless, once she leaves Lin Ji, how can she survive?
Shook his head vigorously.
No, no matter what, at this time, she must not be kicked out of Lin Ji!
As soon as she brushed the floor and lowered the table curtain, Mu Wanqiu stood up abruptly, and suddenly, her eyes lit up, she turned around and came to the outhouse with an oil lamp, and stood in front of a thick and short mud tank in the corner of the south wall.
In this vat is the cypress leaf incense she practiced concocting in autumn.
After learning incense for a while, what Mu Wanqiu wanted most was to concoct spices by herself, but unfortunately, the spice store didn't want her, and she didn't have the money to buy a large number of spices, so she could only look at Wei's secret recipe and sigh.
Fortunately, the flowers and trees in nature are all spices in Wei's eyes, and Mu Wanqiu accidentally found a secret recipe for concocting cypress leaves in Wei's perfumery, which is to blanch the washed cypress leaves and cypress seeds with boiling water, soak them in honey wine and seal them for seven days, and then dry them in a cool place.
Wei said that the cypress fragrance is quiet and elegant, can purify the air, refresh the mind, and the price is not expensive, which is most suitable for those poor students to read at night.
This recipe is simple, in the eyes of the world, cypress leaves are not spices at all, they are used to burn fire, you can see it everywhere, Mu Wanqiu simply collected it back to practice, often, she tried to add sweet pine, green bamboo and other spices in it, and after making it, it was burned, and suddenly the fragrance filled the house, closed his eyes and slowly realized, as if he was in the green grass, and seemed to walk between the green pines and cypresses, and the body was filled with a faint fragrance of the soil mixed with the smell of green grass and cedar pine, indescribably quiet, natural and tranquil.
Mu Wanqiu likes her innovation very much, "This kind of cypress leaf fragrance raw material is not expensive, but the fragrance is unique, it should be the favorite ...... of that kind of poor students," she thought.
Picking the leaves complete, approaching the true color and adding the cypress leaf incense of jasto pine wrapped a burden, Mu Wanqiu re-covered the cylinder, extinguished the oil lamp, and hurriedly ran out with the burden.
"Uncle...... Uncle Li ...... "I saw the shadow of the carriage from a distance, and Mu Wanqiu shouted while running with her baggage.
"Controlling the ......" Shadow Tiger heard someone shouting behind him, and Li Laohan stopped the carriage.
"Daddy......" The lock sleeping in the carriage was also woken up, and he poked his head out in a daze, "It seems that someone is calling ......"
"Come in......" Old Man Li turned around and shouted at him, "It's windy outside, blow ...... carefully"
"It's Sister Aqiu......" Hearing that it was Mu Wanqiu's voice, the lock said loudly, and shouted back, "What did Sister Aqiu bring to the lock?" His bright black eyes stared at the package in Mu Wanqiu's hand.
“…… The lock came out with his father so early to see the incense stall? Mu Wanqiu happily patted the lock's round little face, took out a stack of incense carved from wood from her pocket, and shook it in front of the lock's eyes, "With a fragrance, do you want it?" ”
"To ...... ......" The lock immediately uncovered the quilt and stretched out two small hands to grab it, "Thank you, Sister Aqiu!" As soon as he grabbed the incense, he put the lock under his nose and sniffed it, and fiddled with it happily.
"The chain is good...... Don't freeze......" Wrapping the thin quilt around the lock, and lowering the curtain again, Mu Wanqiu turned around and picked up the package on the wheel, "...... Can Uncle help me sell these spices? ”
“…… Spices? Li Laohan was stunned for a moment, and then took the burden with a smile, "Where did you get it?" ”
"I made my own ......" her face was slightly red, and Mu Wanqiu smiled shyly.
As soon as he opened the baggage, Li Laohan's smile immediately froze on his face, and he said in his heart, "...... It's all rotten leaves, who wants it?! Tie up the burden and hand it to Mu Wanqiu, "Ah Qiu, go back quickly, it's cold outside......"
"Uncle......" With big ethereal eyes, Mu Wanqiu screamed, "These are all carefully concocted by me, they are definitely fragrant...... "Take out a piece and hand it to Li Laohan's nose, "You smell it, it's very fragrant ......"
The cypress leaves don't smell like this, they haven't lit, the taste is not big, and on a cold day, Li Laohan didn't smell it, so he pushed it aside, "Ah Qiu, go back quickly, this cypress leaves are all over the street, who rarely spends money to buy it?" ”
"Uncle, you can help me try it, like this, put it on the edge of the stall, and it won't take up space......" Mu Wanqiu begged without giving up, "I don't ask for much, just ten cents......"
These cypress leaves are not even ten yuan for kung fu with ingredients, but Mu Wanqiu can't take care of those, no matter how much she costs, the most important thing is that someone knows it first.
Mu Wanqiu believes that no one knows her now, this inconspicuous pack of cypress leaves, once she tries it, those people will definitely come back to find it!
Just these rotten cypress leaves, thrown on the street, no one wants a penny!
