Chapter 105: Distinguishing Incense (II)

Hearing Ouyang Zheng's announcement of the result, Gu Lizhu was not happy in her heart, if there were no women on the field, it would be fine, but because there were also women in the Dahua Array, she inevitably had a heart of comparison, and then heard Fang Liu look at the woman differently, and she was only out of the game once, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"Can a mere girl still make Fang Liu embarrassed? It seems that your Fang family is also in vain. Gu Lizhu hugged Han Yi's arm and stuck it, pretending to be coquettish, "Dahua's daughter is twisted and hidden...... Look at the look in King Chengjun's eyes when he looks at her, hum, I don't know if I helped in private just now? ”

Just in front of everyone's eyes, it is difficult to cheat at all. Gu Lizhu was jealous.

Fang Liu couldn't get used to Gu Lizhu's style, and wanted to defend himself, but saw Fang Xing shake his head, so he closed his mouth.

Han Yi had just spoken to the attendant behind him, but he didn't hear what Fang Liu said. And Gu Lizhu was eliminated, which is reasonable, after all, she is the weakest of the five. At this time, I saw her sticking to herself and being coquettish, bubbling with sourness, but she had a charming style, pinched her thighs, and laughed: "Our fragrant beauty is not convinced, haha"

Gu Lizhu snorted, "Fang Liu just said that the twisted woman is the strongest opponent. Isn't their Fang family a self-proclaimed spice family, and they are afraid of a daughter? Spread it out, and don't let the big Chinese look down on us. I don't see any cleverness in that woman. ”

When Han Yi heard this, he raised his eyes to look at the woman opposite, his eyes became sharp, and he said seriously: "Is this true?" ”

This was asked by Fang Liu.

"Back to the second duke, it can be seen from the woman's way of smelling the incense that she has been soaking in the incense for a long time, so Fang Moucai said that she may be a strong enemy. If you can see her writings, you may be able to get a glimpse of them. Fang Liuxin was not very sure, and he didn't dare to assert himself in front of Mo Heyi.

Fang Xing said: "Everything Liu Er speculates, the public doesn't have to take it to heart." Now that a trial of incense has frustrated Dahua's spirit, we have been preparing for a long time to distinguish incense and fight incense, and it will not be too easy for Dahua to win. What's more, we also used incense wood that they hadn't seen before...... The breath is slightly better. ”

At the end of the incense trial in the morning, the King of Thailand and others left the table with Sukino Shin, and Han Yi did not continue to explore the matter, and followed Susukino Shin to leave the main hall, but saw Susukino Shin walking in front of Yin Chengzong and stopped.

"This king opened his eyes today, I didn't expect that King Chengjun was a fragrant person"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Susukino Shin glanced at Huaxi again, "This girl is even more unexpected, even more powerful than our fragrant beauty Gu Lizhu." The king is looking forward to the next day's incense. ”

"It's just a fluke. The king of faith praised it. Huaxi saluted and thanked King Xin.

Susukino Nobu nodded with a smile, then laughed with the King of Thailand and the others and walked out of the hall.

Gu Lizhu followed behind Ha Yi, heard Susukino Shin's words, and after everyone left, stopped beside Huaxi and glared at her fiercely, "Better than me?" Hmph, let's see. ”

Huaxi was stunned, and before she came back to her senses, Gu Lizhu had already left.

Yin Chengzong glanced at Gu Lizhu, and said to Huaxi: "The lunch lady has a separate banquet, if you don't want to go, I will send someone to Jixiang Courtyard." ”

Huaxi nodded, she really didn't want to join in the fun with those noble ladies, plus an angry foreign beauty...... It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

"Well, then you can go back first. The next incense will not be in the incense hall, I will send someone to pick you up when the time comes. ”

Yin Chengzong left after confessing. Huaxi asked Mu Xiangqing to pass a message not to the banquet, and went back to Jixiang Courtyard by himself.

At the end of the day, the incense identification was carried out in the Songfeng courtyard.

The pavilions around the height and height have been placed with fragrant tea, melons and fruits, and there is a corridor hall on the west side for the female dependents.

Yao Yongnian and Feng Wu had already sat on the guest seats, and Huaxi, Yin Chengzong, Yu Erye and Xiyue were sitting next to the rockery in the courtyard.

Huaxi passed the customs in the morning, which surprised Yu Erye, he didn't take Huaxi seriously, and even thought that Huaxi was just a fluke. After Yin Chengzong informed him that the three incense products selected by the last few of them were all made by Huaxi, Master Yu's attitude changed greatly.

Before the start of the next day, Yu Erye also chatted with Huaxi for a few words, feeling that Huaxi was not shallow in the incense road, and his eyes became more and more kind when he looked at Huaxi.

Second Master Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Mu girl, I will bother you with this incense burning later." After all, this incense comes from your hands, and you are the best at how to control the heat and time. ”

Huaxi nodded, "Well, this is as it should be, Second Master Yu doesn't have to be polite." ”

While the two were talking, Yin Chengzong came over, and when he saw that Yu Erye had vacated the first seat, he sat next to Huaxi, and hurriedly excused himself and did not want to be the first. Second Master Yu didn't dare to be, but later Yin Chengzong gave in again and again, and Second Master Yu sat back in the first place.

Yin Chengzong smiled and sat down beside Huaxi, "Is lunch delicious?" ”

Huaxi didn't answer, just nodded.

"In the evening, Susukino Shin will set up a banquet, and those who participate in this incense fight are all invited, and then you will follow Mrs. Weiyuan Hou."

The male and female guests of the banquet are all in the same hall, with the male guests in front and the female guests in the back. It's just that such a banquet is rarely attended by women who have not left the court, and naturally no one wears a veil.

Huaxi was worried, and he didn't have time to think about it, but the emperor and the king of letters arrived.

Incense recognition begins.

Distinguishing incense is that both sides each have three kinds of incense, divided into three rounds, by the other party smelling the fragrance to identify the spices used, the two sides to the final type of determination of the winner. The incense recipe has been handed over to the three emperors and Susukino Shin in advance.

Compared with Fang Liu's strange trick incense test, this is simpler.

The Xiyue side came first, and Fang Liuyun held the incense.

The first scene was all about Yu Erye's incense, and Yin Chengzong added a taste. Because Second Master Yu was the same as what he smelled, Huaxi did not interject and was silent on the side. As a result, the excipients that were discarded at the end of the discarded spices were treated blindly.

When it comes to Dahua's side, the utensils are all placed in front of Huaxi.

The surrounding chatter rang out again.

Huaxi turned a deaf ear, breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his hand lightly, and took out the incense burner he had prepared, the incense ash in it was the ash of the "raising furnace" that had been placed earlier, and the ash was eight points full of incense burner.

The incense used in Huaxi is as white as snow, and it is obviously carefully made. Fang Liu watched quietly, his eyes full of interest.

I saw Huaxi carefully stirring the incense ash with a fire chopstick to make it completely fluffy, and then began to dig a hole to bury carbon, turning the incense burner with his left hand, and stirring in the other direction with a fire chopstick in his right hand, until the ash mountain was piled up, and the carbon stopped when he felt the ash pile for five minutes, and then sorted it out with ash and fire chopsticks, and Huaxi also deliberately pressed radial stripes on the ash mountain. Finally, open the fire window, put silver, and add spices, all in one go.

Fang Liu looked at it, his face changed from his initial curiosity to solemnity. Outsiders can't see it, but insiders can see it, and they will know that Huaxi's carbon storage techniques are better than their own, rosin ash, turning incense burners, paving incense patterns, and incense shapes...... These seemingly small things can change something.

Rosin ash can make the carbon fire fully burn and endure for a long time. Turn the incense burner to get a better grasp of the height and fluffiness of the charcoal ash......

Silent courtyard, no fragrance.

Half-cover the veil to cover the jade face, and light the cigarette softly.

It rained yesterday, the air was humid, and as Huaxi fastened the lid of the furnace, the light and elegant aroma of the incense burner easily escaped.

Smoky, then ...... The psychedelic green smoke and hazy veil made the beauty fall into the clouds.

The beauty that flows naturally with the graceful movements makes people come back to their senses for a long time.

"Please"

The red lips opened lightly, recalling everyone's thoughts.

This stove of cigarettes curled up, which really amazed everyone present.

He took the incense burner, his eyes were dark. The three breaths turned to praise, then Fang Xing, and finally Fang Liu.

The top note is fragrant and ethereal, gradually becoming thicker, turning into mellow and warm, but the bottom note is elegant and quiet, like floating clouds gathering, the wind and clouds disperse, but the aftertaste is long.

Starting from Han Yi, praise and Fang Xing successively said a kind of spice.

Fang Liu contemplated with his eyebrows, always feeling that something was missing. It wasn't until the time for one stick of incense was about to expire that Fang Liu's eyes lit up, he looked at Huaxi, and asked, "It's rose water, right?" ”

"Yes" Huaxi didn't expect that his speculation was discovered by Fang Liu, and he could distinguish the diluted rose water he used from the golden incense, gardenia, plum blossom slice brain, and agarwood mixed with pseudofloral fragrance, and secretly admired Fang Liu's sensitive nose.

Fang Liu was overjoyed when he heard Huaxi say that he had guessed correctly, "What's the name of this incense?" ”

"Yuntou incense."

Fang Liu nodded to himself and muttered: "The fragrance is like a cloud, and it is full of fragrance......

Yin Chengzong coughed: "Brother Fang Xian's love for incense is worthy of admiration, but today's incense competition is not over yet." I don't know what the next fragrance will be? ”

Fang Liu came to his senses, "Oh, Fang Liu is rude. Please wait. ”

Fang Liu collected his thoughts, cleaned his hands, and passed it to Second Master Yu.

Yu Erye took the incense burner and sniffed it three times, handed it to Yin Chengzong, and finally Huaxi.

When it was transmitted back to Fang Liu, the aroma became stronger and stronger, and after it spread, it was already full of fragrance.

Yu Erye pondered for a moment and said: "At the beginning, it was rich and mellow, and the fragrance of flowers became stronger, and there should be agarwood, white sandalwood, frankincense, and cloves, supplemented by borneol and musk, no spicy taste, and it was treated with yellow chamomile water......"

Second Master Yu paused, sniffing the aroma thoughtfully.

Yin Chengzong said: "Well, there is also olive oil. ”

Yu Erye nodded, "The tail tune is light, quiet and light, it should be Baimei ......"

After Yin Chengzong sniffed it carefully, he echoed in a low voice, but he could no longer identify any other spices. After saying Baimei, Yu Erye meditated for ten breaths, but he didn't get anything more.

Seeing this, Fang Liu arched his hand and smiled: "Second Master Yu's skills are not bad, this kind of subtlety can be noticed, but it's just ......."

Before Fang Liu's words fell, a light female voice sounded, "The rest of the tone is sweet, there should be Xuanshen." The fine powder is mixed with yellow chamomile, scrophularia and honey and steamed in water, and the chamomile and scrophularia are removed. ”

Fang Xinghe, who was sitting opposite, changed his face slightly, and Han Yi opened his eyes at some point, his gaze as terrifying as a falcon.

Fang Liu's eyes flashed with surprise and joy, "The girl has replenished everything?" ”

Huaxi paused, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head again, the corners of his lips under the veil were slightly raised, and said, "There is also the most important thing...... If I'm not mistaken, it's the true incense contained in the book. ”

I checked the information for a long time, and I just got it done~~Go back and repair~~()
