Overtime......

~~~~~

Sister-in-law Lin stretched out her hand to take the two halves of sandalwood, compared them for a long time, and sure enough, the color of the inner heart and the surface layer was a big difference, so she frowned, "I have also compared the sandalwood from other spice stores, and most of the colors are similar to those in the heart here......" She sighed and looked up at Master Liu, "I said that I would hire a perfumer who concocts spices, and you don't agree, if you can concoct spices yourself, you won't look at people's faces, and you have to nod and bow your head to collect the residues......" The tone was full of complaints.

Sister-in-law Lin was also dissatisfied with Master Liu's vitriol, but they had been cooperating for more than ten years, and she didn't dare to replace her easily.

Hearing this, Master Liu's arrogant expression suddenly fell, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

How can such a small workshop afford to raise two perfumers!

It's a pity that she doesn't know how to concoct spices, thinking of having to compete with her for a job again, Master Liu's heart suddenly hangs, and a sense of crisis emerges, she is a third-level perfumer, and it is not difficult to find a job in Shuoyang, but a workshop like Lin Ji that costs five taels of silver a month and provides white flour all year round cannot be found with lanterns.

No, she must not give others a chance to smash her own job!

Her lips moved, and she wanted to say something, and with a squeak, the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside, and Mu Wanqiu walked in with a happy face.

“…… What did you pick up and come back? Catching a glimpse of the bulging cloth bag in her hand, Sister-in-law Lin frowned.

obviously looks like a quiet girl, but Mu Wanqiu is like she has never seen anything, and every time she has the opportunity to go out, she will pick up a bunch of broken leaves and rotten branches and come back.

A handsome little girl picks these up on the street, and she's not afraid of people's jokes!

Seeing Mu Wanqiu coming over with a happy face, Sister-in-law Lin and Master Liu sighed at the same time.

“…… It's an osmanthus bone! Mu Wanqiu opened the burden like a treasure, "August osmanthus fragrance, this season, osmanthus has already bloomed, but I didn't expect that I found a bone osmanthus tree next to Baligou......"

“…… You've gone to climb a tree! Staring at Mu Wanqiu's delicate and elegant clothes, Master Liu's tone was full of regret and faint disdain.

Every day, she scratches and crawls everywhere like a cat and dog, and she is blind when she wears this clothes!

"The tree is not tall, with the help of Sannier, it's okay, I can't fall......" Suddenly didn't hear the meaning of Master Liu's words, Mu Wanqiu said with great interest.

“…… The varieties are different, and at this time, the osmanthus also has the ability to hit the bones" glanced at the disdainful Master Liu, and then looked at Mu Wanqiu, who had no heart and no liver, Sister-in-law Lin sighed, and was about to ask her to take the things away, when she saw a black and crumpled rotten tree root next to the osmanthus bones, "Hey, what is this?" ”

This is Jatamansi, Wei's Spice Encyclopedia says that Jatamansi is also a spice, the smell is spicy, with a strong smell of turpentine, but few people know, it was when she went to the incense market to wander, a foreign spice seller pulled down when the stall was closed, and was picked up by her baby.

At this time, when she suddenly heard Sister-in-law Lin's question, her heart jumped, and the afterglow subconsciously drifted to Master Liu, seeing that she didn't seem to know her, and was fiddling with it in her hand, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "...... It's the roots. She reached out and took it from Master Liu's hand, and turned it upside down to show her and Sister-in-law Lin, "...... Look, standing like a bodhisattva like this, and putting a porcelain basin in the window at the bottom, it must be very beautiful" While comparing, Mu Wanqiu said heartlessly, "...... I used to go to Yao Ji to apply for a job, and there was one on the high mahogany table in the corner of their small hall, which was also black and pasty, like a Sanding furnace, but it looked good......"

People are carved by a special master, called root carving, the materials are all good, this rotten tree root picked up from which dirty ditch, how can it be compared!

Having never seen Jataman, Sister-in-law Lin thought that this must have been picked up by Mu Wanqiu from some dirty ditch, looking at Mu Wanqiu with a smile on her face, she was speechless, and waved her hand to let her take the burden away quickly, "...... Registered? ”

"It's reported ......" There are other spices under the osmanthus bones, afraid of being discovered, Mu Wanqiu closed the burden and said in her mouth.

“…… Application? His eyes moved away from the black roots, and Master Liu looked at Mu Wanqiu suspiciously, and then at Sister-in-law Lin, "...... What's the name? ”

"This ......" Mu Wanqiu hesitated a little, Master Liu's stinginess was notoriously stingy, and she didn't want her to know that she wanted to learn perfumery.

"She wants to take the third-level perfumer exam...... "Sister-in-law Lin didn't raise her head, and there was a helplessness in her tone.

She thinks that Mu Wanqiu is just a clever worker, and the others are really stupid and incurable! Otherwise, she would not have dared to apply for a job in Yao Ji without knowing anything, but she lost all the people, and there was almost no one who didn't know her in Shuoyang, which was really "prestigious".

“…… Level 3?! Master Liu sneered, and was about to speak, when her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she stared at Mu Wanqiu's baggage tightly.

Mu Wanqiu's hands trembled, and she took the opportunity to reopen the half-tied burden, "Yes, Sannier has to let me see and understand." She picked up an osmanthus bone, "...... I picked this up to keep it in the house, smell it every day, and slowly remember what it smelled like......" she grinned, "the stupid bird flies first...... Master, you're right? Huh......" she put the flower bone under her nose, and suddenly exclaimed, "Why is the fragrance gone?" ”

Isn't that fragrant?

Sister-in-law Lin took it and sniffed it, and then looked at Mu Wanqiu suspiciously, speechless.

“…… When I first got under the tree, the flowers were so fragrant! Mu Wanqiu explained, "That's why I picked it, I want to come back and smell it carefully," she lowered...... There was a hint of frustration.

It's not that the fragrance is gone, it's that the nose gets used to it after smelling it for a long time!

As the saying goes, when you enter the room of Zhilan, you don't smell its fragrance for a long time, and when you enter the abalone, you don't smell its smell for a long time, it's like a person entering a thatched house, it stinks when you just go in, and you can't smell it after staying for a long time, Sister-in-law Lin immediately understood Mu Wanqiu's words, but she was speechless about Mu Wanqiu's stupidity, and she didn't plan to explain it to her at length at this time.

He lowered his head and jumped to pick up the spices.

“…… Is it that the flower is not fragrant when it leaves the tree? Mu Wanqiu turned her head and asked Master Liu seriously, "Master, I can't use this method to learn perfumery, right?" Seeing that she was silent, he asked, "How can I learn to smell the fragrance, master, can you teach me?" ”

Without saying a word, Master Liu got up and took the dustpan and walked into the house.

Sister-in-law Lin was holding an inch-long sandalwood in her hand, and the dustpan was taken away, she looked at the spices in her hand in a daze, and then looked at Master Liu's back, after a while, she threw the spices suddenly, turned her head and said loudly to Mu Wanqiu, "...... It's not that difficult to take the third-level perfumer exam, and there is not much work in our workshop, so you can study hard, even if you can't pass the exam, as long as you are listed in the incense guild, I will give you fifty literary wages! ”
