Chapter 43: Creating Immortal Drunkenness (1)

Chinese craftsmen usually regard their crafts as the root of life, and life is more precious, as the old saying goes, people have three hundred and sixty lines, and this incense maker will regard their recipes and production processes as top secrets dt.com.

Liu Ruchun said that if the production of this incense can be completed in about two days and two nights in autumn, although it is early spring, the weather is still relatively cold, and it may take a full half a day more. Ye Qiu was worried about Cha Wenbin's safety, after all, he fell into the hands of the other party, and one more second would be more dangerous, so he wanted to know if there was any way to increase the speed of making incense.

"Yes, not nothing." Liu Ruchun said: "This incense making is like making wine, and it is also wine made from grain, even if it is a master, a wine cellar, and a time period, the final impact on the taste of the wine is indeed 0.1 of the fen substances." It's like a primer in traditional Chinese medicine, if there is a suitable primer, this immortal drunk can be accelerated. ”

Feng Qiyun said: "Then dare to ask, which primer do you need?" As long as I can buy it, I can pay as much as I want. ”

Liu Ruchun sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to buy, even if you can buy it, the time doesn't allow it." The best primer for making this flavor incense is the blood of the virgin, the incense is a heavy thing that belongs to the yin, and it needs to be matched with the body of pure yin, and the so-called body of pure yin needs to be the female yin year yin and the moon and yin when the yin occupies three ......"

Just as he was talking about this, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door, and Feng Qiyun hurriedly went out to check that the figure had disappeared.

It's really hard to buy such a medicine primer, and even if you can buy it, they won't do this kind of thing according to their personalities. Feng Qiyun didn't want to think about herself, in the final analysis, she was also a daughter, but she was the opposite, she was born in the yang year.

Incense is needed, and the best time to do it is after three hours, before which time they need to do something else.

When making incense, you must first bathe and change your clothes, wear pure cotton and linen clothes, and first drain the filth in your body, in order to maintain the purity of your body. Since Liu Ruchun received Cha Wenbin's request, he has stopped eating a drip, only drinking some pure water, and all the livestock that can make a sound in the house have all been moved, and all kinds of garbage in front of and behind the house have been cleaned up repeatedly, and the yard has been swept until it is spotless. A good perfumer will be repeatedly calculated because of the little dust in the air, and they can only measure themselves by the most demanding pursuit of perfection in their hearts without the help of scientific instruments.

Ye Qiu and Feng Qiyun were also required to fast and bathe, and the "fairy drunk" was not made in a traditional spice workshop, but in a separate hut in the backyard of the Liu family.

After entering this room and the door was closed, Feng Qiyun knew what it meant to be clean!

The ground was polished like a mirror-like smooth terrazzo, and the gaps between the stones were all minimized, and the ceiling above the head was a layer of solid wood and varnish, which was so bright that it could also shine the shadow of people. The joints between the door and the window are repeatedly filled with a kind of gypsum mud, and before entering, you need to take off your shoes and go barefoot, which is required to step on it barefoot without leaving footprints.

Just as Liu Ruchun opened a Dan furnace-like thing, there was a sudden knock on the door. Feng Qiyun went over to open the door, only to see that Liu Ruchun's daughter Yaya was outside the door, she put down a small bottle with a red face and turned around and ran, Feng Qiyun picked it up and put it under her nose and sniffed, a faint smell of blood......

When Feng Qiyun handed the bottle to Liu Ruchun, Liu Ruchun's face suddenly stiffened, he couldn't imagine that his daughter would ......

Feng Qiyun and Ye Qiu looked at each other, and at the same time knelt down to Liu Ruchun and said: "Old man, everything the Liu family has done for us, we can't repay it, I, Feng Qiyun, swear today that if the Liu family has any difficulties in the future, my Feng clan will do whatever it takes......"

It's already happened, Liu Ruchun can't change anything anymore, he can't say anything except the little moistness in the corners of his eyes, a father's guilt for his daughter in his heart is a lifetime, and for Cha Wenbin, this love can't be repaid for a lifetime.

Like the incense we traditionally use to worship the gods is called incense, Liu Ruchun wants to choose the best spices in the family, one of which is Qi Nan!

This Qi Nan, known as a piece of gold, has been the top grade of the upper variety monopolized by the royal nobles since ancient times. This spice is the best in agarwood, there is no one. Its ancient name is agar, and it has five colors: white, black, blue, red, and yellow, which exactly matches the color of the five elements in China. The texture is quite soft, and when cut with a knife, it feels like cutting on meat, and the grease at the section of the knife can be pulled out like a shredded yam.

The fragrance of Qi Nan can be smelled without ignition, and the large piece of old Qi Nan is like a rich mine of fragrance, with the feeling of being inexhaustible. If the fragrance becomes a little lighter, put it in a plastic bag for a period of time, and the fragrance will still be strong after taking it out.

Qi Nan incense is known as the diamond in the agarwood by religious circles, its innate aroma, elegant and pleasant, bringing together the five elements of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and becoming the only incense that can pass through the three worlds, in recent years, scientific studies have shown that this incense can even effectively control the growth of its cells for cancer.

Therefore, there is a saying in the folk: "Only by accumulating three lifetimes of virtue can you smell the Qi Nan fragrance, and only after cultivating the blessings of eight lifetimes can you taste the Qi Nan fragrance!" "I'm afraid this is not a joke, but a fact.

Speaking of now, it is time to talk about how Liu Ruchun uses this Qi Nan incense. As soon as the exquisite and elegant wooden box was opened, the whole room was suddenly fragrant, and when all five boxes were opened, Feng Qiyun suddenly felt that every pore on his body was completely opened, and almost all of them were involuntarily inhaling the best spices that the sun and the moon gave to people.

It would be a great fortune if a mortal got a piece of Qi Nan, but now all of these five-colored Qi Nan have appeared, especially the yellow one, under the bright yellow, there is quite an imperial atmosphere. I only say one price, you may understand, in the Song Dynasty, the best agarwood is "one or two agarwood and one or two gold", and the price of white Qi Nan is ten times, that is, one or two is converted into ten taels of gold, and bright yellow Qi Nan is a thousand times, one or two is equivalent to one thousand taels of gold.

Today, the unit price of the top-grade white Qinan in Beijing Poly Spring Auction has reached 16,000 yuan per gram! Note that it is per gram! So the value of the steamed bun-sized Qi Nan in Liu Ruchun's hand is probably an astronomical amount.

The five Qi Nan were similar in size, and they were thrown into the Dan furnace in turn, Feng Qiyun finally understood why this immortal drunk had such an effect, just any one of them could be sliced and could go directly to the Three Realms in order to obtain the true god, and now that all five of them have entered, this thing can no longer be measured by money.

Then there was a transparent bottle, which seemed to be filled with some kind of powder, and the moment the bottle was opened, there was another burst of strange fragrance, and Feng Qiyun asked curiously: "Mr. Liu, what kind of spice is this?" ”

Liu Ruchun shook the bottle and said: "This is the pollen of saffron, it takes about 10,000 saffron plants to refine this hundred grams of saffron pollen, and this saffron actually refers to the crimson stigma at the top of the three pistils in each saffron." The pistil is completely manually peeled, the soft stamens are a little slippery, they can't be peeled off when they are peeled from the flowers, the length must be aligned, and it can't be bundled and refined if it is broken or uneven, and its flowering period is only fifteen days, and it takes almost all of us in the town to go out and harvest it for two whole years before it is possible to have such a little thing......"

Everyone should know the price of saffron, and it is sold in large Chinese medicine stores, but what many people don't know is that only 10 grams of high-quality saffron powder can be produced per 1000 grams of saffron raw flowers, and this bottle is all poured in, Feng Qiyun knows, maybe Feng can barely afford the price of these raw materials, but it does not mean that Feng can afford these top spices, because you have money and nowhere to buy!

And when the third spice is opened, the whole room has entered a dreamy situation. There is no way to describe the fragrance that surrounds every cell in your body, and the immovable god of death like Rao is Ye Qiu is also greedily absorbing the unique fragrance in this world, and they are deeply intoxicated in this dream world constructed by spices. It is said that on that day, the Yanagi family was almost surrounded by butterflies flying in the sky, waving their beautiful wings and flying like a mesmerizer......

As early as the Yin Shang era, fishermen caught some gray-white waxy drifts overflowing with a fragrant fragrance in the sea, which is the finished ambergris that has been naturally denatured for many years. Ranging from a few kilograms to tens of kilograms, it has a strong fishy smell, but after drying, it can emit a long-lasting aroma, and when lit, it is even more fragrant, more fragrant than musk.

At that time, no one knew what kind of treasure it was, so people consulted the "chemist" alchemist in the palace, and they thought that it was the saliva of the "dragon" in the sea when he was sleeping, dripping into the sea water and solidifying, and after a long time, it became "ambergris".

At that time, the emperors had already mixed ambergris musk with plant spices to make sachets and hang them on the head of the bed or on their bodies, which was a rare thing, and now everyone knows where it came from, and the sperm whale, the giant beast of the deep sea, is the only creature that can make this spice. Although the price is slightly lower than the above two, this spice will become more and more scarce as the number of whales decreases......

The three top spices have all been put in, and the fourth is the black bone, which is known as the most indispensable main ingredient of "fairy drunk", and the proportion, order, and time of all spices are put into strict requirements, and Liu Ruchun can be said to have played this job to the extreme......
