After taking a few deep breaths, Chu Yu calmed down the shock in his heart, tilted his head, glanced at Wang Yizhi and asked, "Now that I have said my name, you can fulfill your promise." ”

She hadn't forgotten that the original purpose was to let Wang Yizhi identify spices.

Wang Yizhi smiled, his slender fingers pulled open the mouth of the silk sac, sniffed the fragrance coming out of it, and slowly he frowned.

Chu Yu saw his expression and felt that something was wrong: "How is it?" "Can't he tell it too?

With a shake of his wrist, Wang Yizhi turned his head and glanced back at Chu Yu: "Who made this sachet from?" ”

Chu Yu blinked unexpectedly: "If I knew, would I still need to look for you?" ”

"Yes." Wang Yizhi shrugged, no longer continued to lean against the wall, but led Chu Yu to the inner room, the inner room was cleaner than the outside, without any furniture, but on the ground in the middle of the house, there was a round stone platform, and the surface of the stone platform was as smooth as a mirror.

Wang Yizhi walked to the edge of the stone platform, sprinkled some of the spices on the edge, and then he had a small silver dagger in his hand, and slowly scraped away the crumbs of the spices: "This stone was born on the ground before the house was built, and I saw that it was very good stone and shaped, and I thought it was very interesting, so people should not dig it out of the ground, and polish it a little, it is what it looks like now." ”

With a flick of his wrist, he picked up the crumbs of spices, put them down and sniffed them lightly, the same movements as the spice master had done before, but with much more ease.

The light in the inner room was much darker than the outside, different from Fang Cai's casual laziness, at this time Wang Yizhi became serious, and his eyebrows converged with a contemplative color that could not be forced, and the contours of his face were more profound in the dim air.

After a while, Wang Yizhi sighed softly: "This brother who concocts spices is a rare master, if I can see it in person, I hope to invite this to my Xinlan Fang." ”

Chu Yu naturally wouldn't tell him the source of the sachet, and only asked anxiously, "How?" ”

Wang Yizhi didn't answer, only threw aside the spices on the tip of the dagger, and then carefully picked up some crumbs and sniffed them.

The spices were cut too finely and mixed too evenly, and it was difficult to identify their original appearance just by looking at the appearance, so Wang Yizhi simply gave up the process of identifying with his eyes, and went directly to a darker place with little odor, and judged it with his sense of smell.

The five senses are sometimes complementary, and when one of them is missing, the other four will be strengthened accordingly, and the vision will not be able to play in the dark, while the sense of smell will be slightly more sensitive.

Occasional contemplation, occasional frowning, occasional smiling, after about two pillars of incense, Wang Yizhi flipped his wrist, the silver dagger was handed back into his sleeve, he put the spice back into the silk sac, and said to Chu Yu: "Wait a little longer." ”

He walked back to the main house outside, opened the door and instructed the servants to prepare some water, and then Chu Yu saw him take out many bottles and cans from a box against the wall, and put them on the ground one by one, and finally he sat cross-legged on the ground, and a row of two-inch-high white porcelain bowls were neatly placed in front of him, and the porcelain bowls were almost exactly the same size, and they looked very neat.

How does this situation seem so familiar?

Chu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and it was not until the servant brought a bucket of clear water, Wang Yizhi poured the water into each porcelain bowl with a white spoon, and then took out some colored powder from the bottle and jar, poured it into the bowl, and stirred it with a porcelain spoon, Chu Yu suddenly realized.

No wonder she looks so familiar, everything Wang Yizhi did in front of her is similar to doing chemistry experiments in high school in her previous life? It's just that Wang Yizhi doesn't have a glass test tube, so he uses a white porcelain bowl as a container.

Chu Yu was stunned as Wang Yizhi dissolved the powder with water, then picked out a small amount of spice crumbs and soaked them into the bowl solution, carefully observed the changes in the crumbs, and after a long time, she finally couldn't help but speak: "Who did you learn this technique from?" ”

"Who did you learn it from?" Wang Yizhi's train of thought seemed to be still immersed in spices, and it took him to understand the meaning of Chu Yu's words after repeating it, and he smiled slightly: "I came up with this method myself, what's the matter, have you ever seen anyone who uses the same method as me to identify spices?" ”

Figured it out yourself?

Chu Yu was a little disappointed and a little unconvinced.

Wang Yizhi smiled and said: "It is indeed I who came up with it myself, but some of the materials are from the advice of the predecessor Tai Shi Ling, such as these bowls, and the acquisition of some medicines." ”

Tai Shi Ling? Chu Yu thought about it, and then remembered that this was the official position of the god stick Tianrujing in the court, but he didn't know what kind of character the former Tai Shiling was.

What Wang Yizhi has done is from a certain angle. It can almost be regarded as a germ of modern chemistry, in ancient times, alchemists often came into contact with minerals for alchemy, it can also be said that they are the predecessors of chemical science, but unfortunately, this sprout has not grown much, and it has been cut off and pinched to death for various reasons.

Predecessor Tai Shi Ling.

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, and did not ask Wang Yi who the former Taishi Ling was, although an idea suddenly sprung up in her heart, but she herself couldn't be too sure.

Wang Yizhi didn't notice the change in Chu Yu's expression, he kept his head down and fiddled with the utensils in front of him, adding the medicinal powder to different bowls from time to time, stirring well, and then dipping in a few spice crumbs, carefully observing the changes in their reactions.

Chu Yu was suddenly not in a hurry at all, but a little relieved, looking at his unskilled movements, as if he had returned to the high school chemistry laboratory in his previous life, he was so long and nostalgic.

It wasn't until Wang Yizhi finished his busy work, poured the discarded liquid into the wooden barrel on the side, and asked the servants to clean the porcelain bowls and utensils, that Chu Yu asked softly, "You like spices very much?" ”

Wang Yizhi shrugged his shoulders, and when the business was over, he immediately resumed his previous casual rambling: "It's okay, I originally studied spices, so I found a different way, but it was actually for a girl." ”

Chu Yu sat down beside him with great interest and urged, "Girl? Tell me about it? She was very curious, what kind of woman could make a man like Wang Yizhi fall in love?

Wang Yizhi looked down at his slender and powerful hand, and a gentle look appeared in his eyes: "What is there to say, it's just the past ten years ago, and she is no longer here." ”

Chu Yu regretted a little, her expression darkened, and she whispered: "I'm sorry......" She had no intention of revealing other people's wounds.

Wang Yizhi stretched out his hand and brushed her hair, with a residual fragrance on her fingertips: "There is no need to apologize, what she left me is a happy past, she hoped that I would live better before she died, and I would not bury myself in grief." ”

Although he has experienced grief, but the grief is finally washed away by time, leaving a pearl of brilliance in life, Wang Yizhi is a person who treats himself well, he knows how to live better, and will not linger in the irretrievable past.

Leaning on the rosewood cabinet behind him relaxed, because he remembered his former lover, Wang Yizhi's tone was also extraordinarily gentle, as if the spring water was slowly rippling: "What spices are there, I have already figured out most of them, so, what do you want to ask?" ”
