"It's really fragrant?" Fang Liu had obviously never heard of this name, and the faces of the people in Xiyue next to him softened a lot.

But I heard Huaxi continue: "The real fragrance is also called wisteria incense, or chicken bone incense, which is shaped like chicken bones." I have only seen records in the travelogues of my predecessors, saying that this incense is produced in the dense forests of the West Moon and the South China Sea Mountains, and very few people know about Dahua. Because it burns the cigarette straight up, it can feel the arrival of the crane, can dispel the evil spirit, and burns this incense when the Taoist accepts the secret merit is very effective, so there is a 'descending truth'. ”

"This fragrance is similar to the fragrance of Sumu, but it is light at first burning, and there is nothing special, but after mixing with other spices, it can fully stimulate the charm of other spices, making the aroma strong and far-reaching, and the smell is stronger than that without extra time."

Yu Erye said suddenly: "The old man said why this fragrance lingers for a long time, rich and beautiful, I can't find out what the reason is, I can't think of it, I can't think of it because of the addition of this thing." ”

After listening to what Huaxi said, Fang Liu nodded and said, "I didn't expect this incense to have such a statement...... In the western month, this incense is indeed called chicken bone incense. The girl is knowledgeable, and Fang admires it. ”

Song Praise sighed, "I didn't bet on it...... I really let Fang Liu do that. He moved his fat body and chuckled, "Chicken bones, hehe, chicken ribs......"

Hayi's face was ugly, and he glanced at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing couldn't hang it on his face, he thought that Dahua didn't have the fragrance of chicken bones, but he didn't expect someone to know him, and he was still a little girl. Seeing that the nephew and the girl were chatting happily, and there was a feeling of hating each other, Fang Xing's face sank, and he said: "Although this incense guessed everything, but they lost in the first game, and the incense on Dahua's side in the second game has not yet come out, maybe it is still a draw." We still have an advantage. Besides, the incense in the third scene is from Mrs. Gu Lizhu, and there are twelve or three kinds of raw materials......"

Han Yi's brows stretched, and the gaze that fell on Fang Xing's face was not as sharp as just now, Fang Xing pinched a cold sweat, and said in his heart, Gu Lizhu's status in Han Yi's heart is not low. If he loses this last one, he can't be blamed. But it's best to God bless Dahua and guess a few things......

The people of Xiyue have their own thoughts, and they will not mention it for the time being.

Huaxi was preparing for the second incense, while thinking, from these few competitions, Huaxi felt that the words that Yin Chengzong said at the beginning, "Xiyue is more sandalwood musk, fragrant, less elegant" are not reliable, at least in her eyes, Fang Liu and others use incense eclectic, moderate shades, and changeable styles.

Thinking about tomorrow's Douxiang, Huaxi is not completely sure in his heart. The three questions smoked by Douxiang last time included a "beautiful flower fragrance" from Xiyue, a "cigarette" from Yao Yongnian, and only a "rose" from his imitation incense question.

The taste of fragrance is like tasting tea, whether it is strong or light, it is determined by personal taste preferences, and the result is subjectively emotional. However, this kind of incense, the real type of product name, can be taught to be superior.

Fenxiang Dahua has already lost the first game, so the next two can only be won. As for the result of Douxiang, whether it is a draw or a win, you can give an explanation to the emperor.

Huaxi took a deep breath, and his subordinates began to move again.

A furnace of incense is formed, and the blue and white cigarettes are soaring.

There is no rich and thick aroma, only a light medicinal fragrance spreads.

The initial note is clear and graceful, the tone is like the fragrance of the pine wind, and the final note is slightly pungent and sweet, and the smell is smooth and pleasant.

"Jatamansi, Huoxiang, Grass, Angelica Angelica, ......"

"Musk, sandalwood, tonka, clove bark ......"

"Scrophularia, sandalwood......"

Han Yi, Song Zan and Fang Xing said in turn, Hua Xi remained silent, bowed slightly, his expression did not change at all, turned his head to look at Fang Liu, who was meditating, and asked, "Fang Gong can have anything to add?" ”

Fang Liu was silent for a moment before he said: "There is also the truth reduction, and the refining honey is blended." ”

Huaxi nodded to indicate that he was right.

Fang Liu then asked: "There are also people in Dahua who understand the wonderful use of this true incense, so I forgive you for taking the liberty of asking, this incense is made by a girl?" ”

Huaxi hesitated for a moment, and only nodded when she saw that his eyes were sincere.

Yin Chengzong asked, "Do you have anything to add?" ”

The three of them were silent, Fang Xing looked at Fang Liu, Fang Liu shook his head, and Han Yi replied, "No." ”

Huaxi was overjoyed, this time they won, so he said slowly: "There is also a taste of simple nitrate, stagnation and detoxification, this incense can be used for medicinal purposes, dispelling wind and dampness, concentrating and relieving heat." ”

"Salty, slightly bitter, and extremely ......light," Fang Liu pursed his lips, obviously dissatisfied with his omission, "Sure enough, Pu Ni was added...... What is the name of this incense? ”

Huaxi replied: "Yingxiang, take the meaning of 'Ying' and 'fragrant'. ”

Fang Liu was silent in thought, and it wasn't until Fang Xing tugged at his sleeve that he realized that he was distracted. He looked up at Huaxi deeply, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the girl's two incense products are medicated, and our three incense products are also set to be medicinal incense products." You and I really coincide and have the same heart...... No, that's not what it means, I didn't make that incense, I meant it...... Hey......"

The more he said, the more wrong he became, Fang Liu himself didn't know how to explain it, and closed his mouth in a daze under the strange eyes of everyone. Turning his head to meet Huaxi's surprised gaze, Fang Liu panicked for no reason. The baby's face was suddenly dyed with a light red, and the corners of her mouth were pulled in embarrassment, and her eyes were wandering, dodging.

Huaxi couldn't help but laugh secretly, this young man seemed to have realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Yin Chengzong sat beside Hua Xi, his eyes gloomy, staring at Fang Liu without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yu Erye relieved the siege and said: "You and I will win one game each in this and two games, and it will be up to this third game to determine the winner." Fang Gong, please hurry up, the old man can't wait to give it a try. ”

Han Yi looked at Fang Liu and said casually: "I am also looking forward to the performance of your country in this third game." Glancing at Huaxi, Han Yi now fully believed what Fang Liu said when he tried incense, this woman should not be underestimated.

Fang Liu hurriedly straightened up, gathered his mind, and his face was as calm as water, turning his ten fingers, lifting the furnace to change carbon, piling up ashes, and putting silver and incense......

Huaxi sighed secretly, Fang Liu's learning ability is really strong, and at this moment, he can already imitate himself and change the original lack of incense from the fire.

When the incense pill is placed on the silver, a faint milky sweet smell is scattered, carefully tasting it actually has a little bit of a faint fat powder flavor, the sweet fragrance is stronger, warm, it seems to be able to encompass everything, and finally the sweet fragrance of flowers and the spicy mixture of the tail fragrance makes people feel the warmth of the package overflowing......

Different from the elegant English fragrance, this fragrance calms the nerves with warmth and comfort, and the two are somewhat similar.

"What's the name of this incense?"

"Asika."

Huaxi nodded lightly, if Yingxiang is compared to a gentle and feminine Dahua girl, then Ya Xixiang is a passionate and unrestrained Xiyue girl, they are all beauties but the appearance of beauty is different.

It's still up to Second Master Yu to come first.

"Agarwood, Doulou incense, cloves, ligusticum ligustrum, rice brain ......"

said that there were eight kinds, Yin Chengzong supplemented rose water and Suhe oil, and although he guessed the true incense, he didn't dare to make a rash conclusion because he was not familiar with it.

After the two finished speaking, Hua Xi slowly muttered: "Descend to the truth...... Well, there is also a small amount of ...... At the beginning, the milky fragrance of Assika was mixed with a little fat powder...... It's because of benzoin. Because the amount of benzoin is small, it can round the fragrance, and at the same time reduce its own taste, which is not easy to detect; If the amount is too large, the result is that this fragrance is unique. ”

"Well, the girl is careful, and she said it well." Yu Erye looked at Huaxi with a smile, and was not at all ashamed because Huaxi's finishing words stole the limelight, but appreciated her meticulousness and wisdom more and more.

Yin Chengzong looked at Huaxi gently, only to see that the soft eyes like autumn water were full of confident smiles, and he couldn't help but admire her ability, and only people who really know fragrance, love fragrance, and understand fragrance can deeply appreciate the feeling that each spice brings to themselves, and capture every bit of the fragrance sensitively and delicately...... He secretly rejoiced in himself, at least on the way to the incense, he understood her.

In the end, this incense, Dahuaquan, is not bad.

Fang Liu was secretly happy because he had an opponent, while the other three thought that if Dahua's incense materials were not complete, they would lose. And off the field, Gu Lizhu gritted her silver teeth and muttered vigorously, "Impossible, impossible ......"

The lady next to her who didn't know who heard Gu Lizhu's whisper and chuckled: "Ah, our Dahua daughter is humble, unlike some people who are arrogant, and think that she understands incense in the sky and on the ground, and everyone else is lucky......"

Gu Lizhu was so angry that she wanted to scold, but she was pulled by the maid next to her, so she remembered that the occasion was wrong, held back her anger, and said in the ancient language of Xiyue: "The smell is great, and it doesn't mean that the incense is great, tomorrow, tomorrow we will definitely win"

In this room, in the courtyard, Huaxi was resting a small piece of wax like black-brown amber on the silver.

Fang Liu and the others looked at each other, isn't this ambergris?

When the charcoal fire is heated and the aroma evaporates out, the smell is unique, not ambergris, but a combination of long-lasting and strong nail incense, silent and mysterious agarwood, gentle and restrained sandalwood and bitter green wood incense......

The top note is slightly spicy, warm and mellow, inclusive of all things, gradually becomes sweet, the tail note is light and bitter, elegant and subtle, restrained and calm, slowly precipitated, the aroma is more delicate, it becomes light and indifferent, such as floating clouds, like flowing wind, and the aftertaste is long......

The warm and heavy green wood fragrance is bitter and agarwood has a sweet flavor, and if the proportion is not good, there will be conflicts, and this incense is perfectly mixed with these two flavors, which makes everyone in Xiyue surprised.

These four spices were brought up by the people of Xiyue, but they were still insufficient.

The four of them pondered for a long time, and after tasting one product after another, Fang Liu hesitated for a long time before saying: "This incense does not use many materials, but the preparation method must be quite complicated...... There should be nothing else. ”

Fang Liu frowned and was still a little uncertain, this incense was a little special, and it was difficult to judge what subtle accessories were added when the incense was combined. He sighed in his heart, it seemed that this was a definite defeat.

Huaxi said: "It is these four things that are made with musk and pojin ointment......

The people of Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Huaxi smiled, and said: "The only thing missing is that jujube meat, the dosage is very small, which is used to reconcile sweetness and sweetness, and has a transitional effect." Although there is no need to deal with the raw materials, if you really want to talk about the preparation method, in fact, there is still a lack of hawthorn liquid, Xiaolong tea soup and flax paste. ”

Han Yi's face was blue, his face was expressionless, and Fang Xing sighed gloomily. And Fang Liu was very excited, as he thought, there were other materials, so as soon as he heard what Huaxi said, he hurriedly asked about the production method and name.

Huaxi did not shy away from it, and said with a light smile: "There are four base materials for this incense, agarwood and sandalwood are matched in a certain proportion, cut into small dice, soaked in hawthorn liquid for three days, boiled and drained, and washed with warm water. The red sandalwood is made into crumbs, and the small dragon tea is brewed into a tea soup, blended and impregnated, and wrapped in several layers of bamboo paper. The snail shell (belonging to the nail incense) is half a tael, the surface is rough, boiled into pure yellow with flax paste, and the honey is cleaned to remove the taste. Aoki incense is ground into powder, with meaning and four kinds of incense, put Pojin paste and musk, very little jujube meat, and mix into a fragrance. Take the meaning of 'agreeing with the will', which can only be understood, not spoken. Hence the name 'Yi and Xiang'. ”

"Yihe? How to reconcile? Fang Liu was puzzled, his expression was quite anxious.

Everyone also looked at Huaxi, waiting for the answer to speak.

"With 'meaning' and incense, pay attention to mood and ideas, not only simply mix spices with refined honey, but also think about the virtue of things when combining incense. It is said that spices are the products of dead wood, but in fact, fragrant wood has its own spirituality, only the shape is harmonious, and the gods do not agree, and the incense made by the fragrance is less spiritual. If the incense moves at will, the meaning turns with the incense, it is necessary to "will", guard against arrogance and rashness, and melt their own "thoughts", "hearts", and "meanings" in the incense, and the unity of human incense can make different wood properties integrate and common. People are different, and all kinds of feelings are different, so everyone's mind and soul will be different......"

The clean and refreshing sound drifted into everyone's ears like the wind, and a "with 'meaning' and fragrance" was deafening, and the four were amazed.

Everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

In the north hall, Ouyang Zheng's eyes have been staring at Huaxi, his brown eyes are scorching, and at this moment he seems to see the bright smile under the light veil, as bright and dazzling as the sun after the rain.

Yin Chengzong held the teacup, staring intently at the purple reflection in the blue water, and the clear voice echoed in his mind, which was as eternal as a sweet spring, flowing into his heart.

Yu Erye was also full of emotion, "With 'meaning' and incense, the old man has been taught"

Huaxi hurriedly said: "What Huaxi said is just the words of a family, and I can't really ...... it" This incense recipe was seen a lot in her previous life, but as for the ethereal and illusory feeling of "Yihe" mentioned by her, she slowly realized it after thousands of times of concoction and incense.

On the other side, Fang Liushen didn't belong, and was still thinking about the word "Yihe", and couldn't help sighing: "It can only be understood but not spoken...... Uh-huh, that's exactly what it feels like...... This fragrance is well deserved. ”

Han Yi and the others also listened attentively, admitting defeat to their opponents emotionally, they were unwilling, but from the bottom of their hearts, this meaning and incense were really admirable.

Han Yi stood up and said sincerely: "The girl's 'Yihe' said that I am happy and convinced, this time I Xiyue lost." ”

Huaxi gestured with her head bowed, feeling that Ha Yi was a bright and upright person.

At this point, this incense has been distinguished, but due to the number of etiquette, Ouyang Zheng is not easy to announce, and turns his head to ask the meaning of the three emperors and Susukino Shin.

Sukino Shin looked at Huaxi and said with a smile: "Dahua has many talents and outstanding demeanor, and this scene of incense recognition really opened the eyes of this king." Admire and admire"

Listening to Susukino's praise, the King of Thailand and others were happy and modest. King Ping sat on the side and caught a glimpse of Yin Chengzong who was in a daze at Huaxi, and his eyes flashed.

Ouyang Zheng glanced at Huaxi, Huaxi seemed to be aware of it, looked up, the two looked at each other, and Huaxi hurriedly lowered his head.

Ouyang Zheng slightly hooked the corners of his lips and announced: "In the second incense discrimination, Dahua won." ”

Subsequently, the king of Thailand told everyone present to gather in the Fang Hall for a banquet in the evening, everyone dispersed, the male guests gathered in one place to taste tea and discuss, and the female guests or acquaintances traveled to the garden together, or rested in the hall to chat and relieve boredom.

Huaxi was called by Mu Xiangqing and accompanied her to meet the wives and girls of various noble relatives.

Taking off the veil, Huaxi's exotic appearance made the ladies slightly surprised. However, all the people present are transparent, and no one will break it.

Hua Xigang was highly energetic, and when he saw Mu Xiangqing introducing himself to the ladies, he heard it in a fog, only feeling that the figures were dangling, and he was afraid of being rude in front of people, so he tried his best to cheer up, and finally remembered more than a dozen, and the rest will be familiar.

Everyone had to talk about it, and there were those who were admired, envious, and envied. Huaxi was exhausted, so she could only smile and nod, occasionally say a few words "yes" and "good", and don't say much, if she encounters a difficult one, she has Mu Xiangqing to deal with it.

This "small talk" chatted for more than an hour, and Mu Xiangqing said goodbye to everyone and took Huaxi back to Jixiang Courtyard.

"I'm still looking forward to you getting rid of it this morning...... But looking at the situation in the afternoon, it's really not okay without you," Mu Xiangqing said proudly, "I sat on the side, watching a few of you lose the first game, my heart was pounding, but fortunately, I won in the end." When it's over tomorrow, I have to go to Puji Temple to make a wish. ”

Listening to Mu Xiangqing's chatter, Huaxi's heart was warm, "Let you worry, and then Huaxi will accompany you to the temple to make a vow." Well, why don't you take Brother Lin with you? ”

"It's good that you're here, don't be afraid of that monkey trick-or-treating."

Huaxi held Mu Xiangqing's arm and sighed, "But then again, I was also quite panicked at the time." Xiyue's strength is much stronger than what King Chengjun said. ”

Mu Xiangqing touched Huaxi's head lovingly, "Our family Huaxi has grown up...... These big scenes are handled with ease. ”

"I'm not worried about making incense. It's just the banquet in the evening...... I really can't cope with it, and I still haven't remembered all the wives and girls of the noble relatives you introduced to me just now. ”

Huaxi didn't like these lively scenes because of her appearance, just like she endured everyone's strange eyes just now and responded with a smile...... Mu Xiangqing knew that Huaxi was not happy at that time, and couldn't help but pity: "Hey, this dinner ...... It can't be done. Go sit down, anyway, in the back, wait for the three rounds of drinking, and it doesn't hurt for you to find an excuse to leave. ”

Huaxi nodded helplessly.

Mu Xiangqing asked her what clothes she had brought. Fortunately, when she went out, she was afraid that there would be a few more clothes, so Cui Ming brought a few more clothes, otherwise she really had no clothes to change for this dinner.

Mu Xiangqing chose for her, and with hairpin jewelry, she instructed Cui Ming to serve Huaxi well, and went back to the room to prepare.
