The fragrance assessment of the incense guild is divided into three links, namely smelling, distinguishing and blending.

Smelling incense assesses the perfumer's sensitivity to the smell of incense, which is the most basic skill of a perfumer.

And to distinguish incense, it is necessary to apply any incense first, and then within two quarters of an hour, the examiner should say the compatibility of the incense, not the same is not bad, but at least the main preparation materials must be said.

The most important thing is this perfume link, which can be said to test the preparation skills and eyesight.

In these three links, the assessment questions are all randomly 'drawn', and no one knows what kind of questions will be 'drawn'.

The master surnamed Wang, that is, the brother of the Wang steward of the 'Hua' family incense shop, he hugged a red, yellow and black box with different colors and put it in front of the 'flower' nine, the box was very tightly sealed, and only a small round opening was opened on the top, so that the examiner could reach in and 'draw' the question.

Then he stood aside and looked at the 'flower' nine with cold eyes, while the son of the Feng family was still standing on the same side as Master Wang, shaking the mountain and water folding fan, and the pixiu carving of the high-grade glass species fell on the lake blue robe.

In addition, there were two old men standing on the side, one in black and the other in white, just like the legendary 'underworld' black and white impermanence.

At this moment, the old man in white 'touched' his beard and smiled at 'Hua' Jiu, "Junior, quickly reach in and 'draw' the questions, finish the exam early, and finish the matter early, and the little old man will go to have a drink with Lao Hei." ”

"If the old master wants to drink, I will invite two of them in the next meeting." 'Hua' Jiu arched her hand, her voice was very low, and there was a little hoarse taste in it, although it was clearer than ordinary men, but she couldn't hear anything weird, plus she was wearing men's clothes and a short gauze and black curtains, so others would not be suspicious.

Unexpectedly, when the old man in black heard 'Hua' Jiu say this, he flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly from his nose, "If you don't take the test, get out." ”

Between the words, it was very polite, but the others seemed to be accustomed to it, and they were unmoved by such rude words.

Huang Qingsheng was afraid that 'Hua' Jiu would not be able to stand it and 'withdraw' and leave, so he hurriedly stepped forward, approached 'Hua' Jiu and said in her ear, "Those two are the elders of the guild, the one wearing white is the ancestor of the Feng family, Feng Lao, who doesn't care about anything in the family, and the one in black is the only one in Zhaozhou who blends fragrances, Hei Lao, his 'sex' is a little weird, and he doesn't care about his words, but he is still honest and trustworthy." ”

"Huang Xiao'er, what are you saying bad things about us? The old black ears are smart. The wrinkles on Feng Lao's face squeezed, and he looked at Huang Qing with a plausible smile.

"Where, this is the new master in our building, I don't know anything when I first come to Zhaozhou, so the little one naturally introduces her to the second master." Huang Qing said respectfully, he also bowed his hand, and smiled and smiled, but the respect that emanated from his heart was real.

'Hua' Jiu looked at Huang Qing with a hint of surprise on the little face of the curtain, she didn't expect that even these two people, Huang Qing was actually familiar with each other.

Taking advantage of this, Hua Jiuyi stepped forward, went to the box, reached into the box, and 'touched' three paper rolls tied with silk ribbons from the three boxes of different colors.

Huang Qing hurriedly took it, and then presented the three paper rolls directly to the second elder of Feng Hei, ignoring Master Wang at all, **naked' slap in the face and stepped over him.

Feng Lao first opened the paper roll that he 'touched' from the red 'color' box, he took a look, and then the little guy who had his own silver tray stepped forward to take the paper roll and send it to the 'flower' hall outside for the special 'door' to assess the smell.

Generally speaking, this kind of assessment does not require Feng Lao and Hei Lao to come forward, but the 'flower' nine was brought by Huang Qing, and I heard that it was still the master newly invited by Dark Xianglou, and he had signed the business contract, but he was a person who had never been assessed without any rank, so Feng Lao became interested and pulled Hei Lao to kick it.

'Hua' Jiu was invited to the 'flower' hall where the assessment smelled the fragrance, and the others only stood outside the 'door' and watched, far away, not allowed to approach, even the two elders of Feng Hei.

The 'girl' who had her own incense art came in, took several trays, put ten spices in each tray, and covered them with red silk cloth, and counted the 'flowers' nine carefully, a full five trays, fifty spices, of which only more than thirty kinds need to be identified to be considered this link.

At the beginning of smelling the incense, first the incense art 'girl' stepped forward and used a screen to cut off the sight of the 'flower' nine, and then the 'woman' sat in the screen and began to use incense.

Since the prevalence of Dayin incense, there are many kinds of incense, and there are tens of thousands of materials for natural fragrance preparation, and the varieties are also a lot of trouble.

'Flower' nine is 'waves' not alarmed, this smell of the kung fu is any beginner perfume must learn, after the accumulation of time at any time, the more you can smell the smell is naturally the better.

Suddenly, a faint smell came from the empty 'flower' hall, and the nine 'flowers' sniffed a little lightly, and then blurted out, "Xiang Nanmu." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of incense vessels bumping in the screen, and then a small servant came in with a big fan, and fanned a few times against the "door" window of the entire "flower" hall, and the smell quickly dissipated.

Then came the second kind, and so on and so forth, until the fiftieth spice, and 'Hua' Jiu always answered without hesitation.

Feng Lao and Hei Lao, who have been watching at the 'door', are very rare to have a 'show' of praise on their faces, and this link 'flower' nine is considered a full score, and few perfumers who come to the assessment can do this step, and even Hei Lao is interested in 'flower' nine now.

Feng Lao untied the paper roll of the second link on the spot, and it was still the little guy who held the silver tray just now, stepped forward, took the paper roll and hurriedly turned to the back of the screen, and then heard a clear and beautiful guzheng sound.

A good incense artist, when tasting incense, wants to use music to help the fun, and even improvises and dances.

In this kind of piano sound, a light fragrance rises, the cigarette jumps to the top, forming a white crane wings in mid-air, the demeanor is vivid, the wind rises, the green smoke is scattered and ethereal, and the white crane is really like soaring and flying.

And with the fainting of the cigarette, there is an elegant fragrance like an orchid in the whole 'flower' hall, which makes people smell like a dream drunk and gentle, for a quarter of an hour, the fragrance becomes more and more intense, and it becomes sweet and fragrant like the most 'tempting' lover's whisper, when you want to listen carefully to the whisper, the fragrance instantly fades up, as if after a sweet and warm storage, the Yiren is far away, leaving only the endless tenderness and lingering aftertaste on the fingertip 'lips'.

The slightly upturned 'lips' are a little sharp, the pink cherry 'lips' have a graceful arc looming, and the 'flower' nine extremely light pupils 'color' appear under the cover of the black gauze curtains, and the eyes are really deep in the eyes, and the eyebrows are gentle and peaceful...... Soak it in spirits for a day, add it to the incense, and mix it with clear honey, and finally supplement it with white 'jade' orchid, seal it in porcelain for three days, and take out the English powder to make a paste. ”

I only heard the low voice of 'Hua' Jiu in the quiet 'flower' hall, the volume was not big or small, but it was within a comfortable range for people to listen to, and it immediately won the favor of Feng Lao and Hei Lao.

You must know that as a qualified perfumer, in addition to having your own unique fragrance formula, you also need to be able to know some well-known public incense products, and it is best to be able to make them yourself.

However, if you have achieved these two points, you can say the method of concoction in such detail, and most of them will naturally be made by yourself, so you will be so confident and confident.

In the third incense-making link, it turned out that Hei Lao couldn't wait, he snatched the paper scroll in Feng Lao's hand, opened it suddenly, and read, "Qibao Lotus 'flower' incense ......"

As soon as he pronounced the name of this incense product, Feng Lao was silent, and together with Hei Lao, his face was quite strange and looked at 'Hua' Jiu.

And Huang Qing's face changed even more, he glanced at Master Wang with suspicious eyes, and then ignored the rules and went directly to the 'flower' hall to the front of 'flower' Jiu and said, "Master Hua, still don't take the test......

However, before he finished speaking, the 'flower' hall remembered Master Wang's piercing laughter, "What? How good I am when you are, when you get to this Qibao lotus 'flower' fragrance, don't come out and be embarrassed if you don't know how to make incense, and when you are really touted by such layman fools who don't know what to say, you don't even know how many catties and taels you have. ”

"Master Wang, you've said that." Old Feng's face sank, he leisurely glanced at the master who got carried away, and there was a faint regret when his eyes turned back to the 'flower' nine, what is the question of 'pumping', and he is biased to 'draw' this one.

The 'color' of suspicion and 'confusion' flashed from the face of 'Hua' Jiuxiao, but no one knew under the black veil, she only asked Huang Qing in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Qing smiled bitterly, he would not have the heart to fight with Master Wang, "It's not right, the small one shouldn't have come with you, the box for the assessment question was prepared by Master Wang, you 'draw' the topic of this Qibao Lotus 'flower' incense, it must have been manipulated, even if Feng Lao and Hei Lao are there, they can't intervene, the little one originally thought that with the two of them watching, those jumping clowns won't be so rampant, who wants to ...... Hey......"

The thin eyebrows were furrowed, and the nine eyes of the 'flower' looked at Master Wang coldly, but the person asked Huang Qing again, "How can this Qibao Lotus 'flower' fragrance not be used as an assessment topic?" ”

"This Qibao lotus 'flower' incense is the top grade of Buddha incense, which needs to be concocted as a raw material, however, this spice is not available in Zhaozhou City today, there is no spice to prepare, how can this incense be made? If you can't make it, you can't pass this assessment. Huang Qing also regretted in his tone, he saw the performance of the first two links of 'flower' nine in his eyes, and he was happy in his heart, he could even imagine that the rise of the dark incense building was just around the corner, as long as there was a talented perfumer master like 'flower' nine, then he was still afraid of what 'flower' incense shop.

However, Master Wang's manipulation was something that no one expected.

"Master Wang is sure that I can't concoct the Qibao Lotus 'flower' incense?" At this time, 'Hua' Jiu opened her mouth lazily, and there was a kind of pride in her deep voice that came out of her bones, "So, how about a gamble?" If you win, I'll kill myself, but if you lose—"

Speaking of this, 'Hua' Jiu paused, her white 'jade'-like little face smiled cleverly in the black gauze curtains, and her extremely light pupils had a deep and inky 'color' that permeated for a moment, just like the most blue honey poison, 'tempting' people 'licking' and tasting, "I want you to destroy yourself!" ”
