Chapter 51: Seeking Fragrance (I)
The first one, and one more later......
~~~~~
"Lingxu incense...... Lingxu incense...... Zhong's secret spiritual incense! ”
The sun rose high, and Zhong Erniu shouted vigorously in front of the incense stall with a male duck's throat, "Jiazi day and material, Bingzi day grinding, Wuzi day and he, Gengzi day incense, cold water stone as a companion...... Renzi Day Seal Bag Cellar ...... Genuine Lingxu incense...... The best spiritual fragrance is open, enlightening and enlightening, calming the nerves and nourishing the qi......" Zhang Erniu shouted and sweated profusely, and his face turned red.
Unfortunately, the cries of selling in the market were endless, and as soon as his duck-like voice came out, it was drowned out by the bustling and noisy flow of people, and the duck's voice became a broken gong, and no one stepped forward to ask a word.
Zhong Erniu didn't feel a little discouraged, turned his head and picked up the water bag and drank a few sips of water, sat on the pony stool while panting while roasting the fire, and when he looked up, he saw a blue furoshiki exposed on the dazzling snow not far in front of him, he jumped down in his heart, calmed down, and quietly raised his head and swept towards the bustling crowd on the set, seeing that no one was paying attention, then the cat bent over and picked it up, stuffed it into his arms and ran back.
In such a noisy downtown area, it is easiest to drop things, maybe it is a pack of silver tickets!
Carrying the burden was very light, Zhong Erniu was a little disappointed, but he still fantasized unwillingly.
Bending down and pretending to roast the fire for a while, he caught a glimpse of no one paying attention to him, Zhong Erniu quietly pulled out the burden in his arms, and opened it with trembling fingers......
It was the bag of cypress leaves that was lost by Li Laohan!
“…… Grandma's! Seeing that it was a bag of rotten leaves, Zhong Erniu opened his mouth and scolded, "Who the hell is so idle that he actually wrapped a bunch of rotten leaves to fool people!" From top to bottom, there was nothing but leaves in the baggage field, and he scolded and threw the cypress leaves in the bag into the fire, "...... Uncle, I thought I had picked up some treasure! Scolding in his mouth, he was about to throw the furoshiki in, but his hand retracted again, "Although it is old, but look at this material, it is worth a penny ......" While thinking, he casually stuffed the furoshiki into his arms.
"Second brother ......" was scolding, Zhong Sanniu trotted over with his hands in his hands, "How is it today?" Opened? ”
“…… ! Feeling extremely depressed, Zhong Erniu opened his mouth and scolded, "Just fucking sweep your eyes and leave, none of the 100,000 incense sticks have been sold until now!" ”
Scared of Zhong Erniu, hearing this, Zhong Sanniu trembled, swallowed the words on his tongue again, lowered his head and sorted out the spiritual fragrance on the stall, a faint fragrance wafted in, he took a sharp breath, looked up and looked around, and saw a faint green mist floating in the fire in front of Zhong Erniu, his face stiffened.
The second brother can't sell it and burns all the incense, right?
Sniffing it carefully, it didn't seem to be his family's spiritual fragrance, Zhong Sanniu's expression became extremely strange, he opened his mouth, and swallowed the question that poured to his lips on Zhong Erniu's blue and black face.
After scolding for a long time, Zhong Erniu looked up and saw Sanniu looking at him with a strange expression, his eyes stood up, "...... It's a cold day, you're not at home to help your mother work, what are you doing here? ”
"Yes...... It was my mother who asked me to come......" As soon as he was nervous, Zhong Sanniu was a little stumbling," his mother said...... Say ......"
“…… Say what? Zhong Erniu was so anxious that he stared.
Zhong Sanniu trembled, and his words were a little sharper, "Mother heard Uncle Zhang on the other side of the door say that the Li family of Daye also came to buy goods today, and I heard that it was the eldest prince of Li who came in person......" Seeing Zhong Erniu's eyes, Zhong Sanniu was so frightened that he took two steps back, almost stepped on the incense stall, jumped upside down to the side of the road, and looked at Zhong Erniu through the incense stall, "Mother...... Mother asked you to go to Yao Ji to try it, and see if you can borrow light to let the Li family receive our goods......"
“…… How did you think of such a big thing! After staring for a long time, Zhong Erniu threw the burning stick in his hand and stood up.
Sanniu shuddered and took two steps back.
“…… Take a good look at the stall, be careful not to cause trouble, don't be deceived, I'll be back in a while! Seeing that he was frightened like that, Zhong Erniu's tone softened a little, and he bent down to shrink back the stall that had expanded far away.
Zhong Sanniu was naturally timid, so let him watch the stall here, but he couldn't encroach on other people's places.
Nuo Nuodi replied, until he saw that Zhong Erniu was gone, Zhong Sanniu jumped to the fire, bent down to pick up the burning stick, and muttered while fiddling with the fire, "...... What is it, so fragrant? ”
With a bang, the cypress leaf incense in the fire was picked open by Zhong Sanniu with a stick, and a stream of green smoke rose up, and in an instant, it filled the entire market.
“…… What smells, so fragrant? "The people who come to the incense set, whether they buy or sell, are all connoisseurs, attracted by this faint fragrance with the smell of green pines and cypresses, and they all look around and look for it.
"It's so quiet, like a cypress on the mountain......"
"It's a green pine ......"
"No, it's spring grass......"
……
A few people who like to fight incense on weekdays have blushed faces and thick necks.
“…… Damn, who is so atmospheric, he actually ordered such a big aroma to make a sign! Unlike the merchants, many sellers thought that someone had lit incense to attract them, and some people in the bazaar were already shouting and scolding, while others quietly followed suit and threw their own incense into the fire.
Helpless, no one was willing to be like Zhong Erniu, throwing the whole package of incense into the fire in a daze, and the three or two fragrances that dotted with the stars could never suppress the increasingly strong fragrance of cypress leaves that Mu Wanqiu had regulated.
“…… Childe, is this really an incense that has never been seen before? "There was a navy blue carriage parked in the middle of the market, and a little boy was looking up at his master...... How so? Could it be that this little Shuoyang also has people who can create incense! ”
The clear and bright voice attracted the sideways glances of countless people, and their eyes fell on the boy's owner, and they unconsciously let out a sigh.
Under the dazzling sunlight, he stood there with his eyes slightly closed, his white clothes reflected the snow, just like the awe-inspiring ice peaks on the ancient iceberg that exuded magnificent light, and like a quiet cloud in the faint blue sky, tranquil, natural, just standing there quietly, it overshadowed everything around him.
It is the eldest son of the Daye Li family - Li Jun.
“…… It smells so good...... "Good fragrance" opened his eyes, Li Jun applauded again and again, "...... Just now I seemed to be walking in the early spring mountain path, among the green pines and cypresses, and there was a faint earthy fragrance mixed with the smell of grass......" Squinting his eyes slightly, he followed the fragrance and looked, "I didn't expect that I hadn't been here for a few years, and this little Shuoyang could create such a magical, so close to nature incense ......" He walked forward, "Let's go, go and see ......"
Seeing him coming, the people on both sides unconsciously dodged away and made a way.
Suddenly seeing the sighing flow of people on both sides, Li Jun strode towards the Zhong family's stall.
"Childe...... Childe ...... "Li Jun is an expert in tasting incense, and he has been by his side for many years, Xiao Tong has never heard him praise a kind of incense so highly, including the incense prepared by Master Guqin himself, and sent it to him to taste, Li Jun only bowed his head slightly, I don't want to, this wisp of fragrance in the downtown actually led him to step on the snow to find it!"
After being stunned for a while, Xiao Tong came back to his senses, raised his heels and chased after him, "If you want to know who made this incense, ask Master Yao to find ......out" Seeing that he was speechless, he chased after him for two steps, "The best perfumers in Shuoyang are all in Yao Ji, maybe Yao Ji just wants to use this method to make signs!" The more he thought about it, the more he affirmed, "...... It must be the case, only Yao Ji in Shuoyang is willing to spend such a big deal and make such a big move......"
His footsteps paused slightly, and then, Li Jun raised his feet and continued to walk forward.
The rise of a family industry, the most important thing is to tap talents, no matter who this perfumer is, he has to dig her out and take her to the Li family!
