Chapter 44: Creating Immortal Drunkenness (2)
The fire has begun to be lit under the Dan furnace, the ingenuity is that the flame is not exposed to the ground at all, the Dan furnace is protruding into the ground, and the flue is also changed to the wood used to make the fire by walking underground, it is also very elegant, to use the main trunk of the pine and cypress that is more than 100 years old, cut into three feet long, three inches later, throw three each time, the fire can not be big, nor can it be small, this thing is Liu Ruchun's wife herself, the pinch must be just right, more than one point is burnt, one less point is born.
Therefore, even if they get the formula of the fairy drunk, there is nothing they can do, after all, they have to complete the final process matching of the Liu family, the first person in the world to make incense. The fire burned for as long as the incense was refined, and it could not be interrupted during the period, which meant that Mrs. Liu had to sit in front of the furnace for two days and two nights until all the firewood around her was burned. The pair of children of the Liu family are also busy going in and out, busy sending water to their mother to wipe their sweat, and busy shoveling furnace ashes.
The furnace should be burned until it is red, and the furnace should be pressurized through the outside bellows, and all these raw materials should be carbonized at high temperature, because the incense is finally used to light, and the aroma is all locked in the furnace while ensuring carbonization. Therefore, this thing is not only a test of craftsmanship, but also a test of the right time, location, temperature, humidity and equipment.
Fourth, when the black human bones are also thrown in, the furnace is completely closed. During the second period, Ye Qiu and Feng Qiyun guarded this small mansion like King Kong Arhats, and Liu Ruchun did not mean that he could rest.
There is a tank of water in the house, this water is used every year when it snows, scrape off the surface of the layer of snow on the blooming plum blossoms, leaving only the bottom of the thin layer to collect, in ancient times, the emperor's concubines used this water as a good product for moisturizing, compared to the current SK-II fairy water that will not be worse.
This tank of water, you can imagine how many snowflakes to collect, Liu Ruchun used a small jade scoop to scoop water from the tank and slowly poured it down from the top of the furnace. If there is too much water, it is necessary to seep into the kang below along the wall of the road, and if there is less water, it will not work, and it will not cover the entire furnace wall. Every time, make sure that the water is completely poured from the top to the bottom of the stove near the flame, and that it is just evaporated there, and that the flow of water is not interrupted!
This work cannot be replaced by others, with accurate calculations and decades of experience, the weight of the manipulation parts, one must be wrong, to ensure that the water vapor can warm the whole room, and at the same time there is a trace of into the furnace wall! This is the so-called control of humidity and temperature, and the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are different, except for this Liu Ruchun can barely grasp it, there is really no second person in the world......
The production of ordinary incense sticks is not a high-level process, and the rural uncle can do it himself when he is slack, which is nothing more than the quality of the raw materials. At first, Feng Qiyun would never have thought that making an incense would also take a lot of effort to become like this, ordinary incense sticks in a bundle of nine sticks, only a few cents in the commissary, this kind of incense is the basic cost alone has reached an astronomical amount, just after being made into a finished product, it can only burn for a short ten minutes......
A scoop of water was scooped and poured within the specified time, and Liu Ruchun strictly abided by the ancestral teachings. Because the cost of this kind of incense is too expensive, a family like the Liu family, which has lasted for thousands of years, has invested almost all of the spices accumulated by their ancestors for many generations, and besides, its production process is too complicated, and once they make a mistake, this price is not something they can afford. Third, after the finished product is baked, this thing is too dazzling, and once it flows into the people, it is very likely to make waves, isn't it asking for trouble?
Liu Ruchun is a big idler, in fact, he has a high talent for making incense, he can distinguish hundreds of different spices with just his nose, and can accurately tell the composition and proportion of general mixed spice products. If this kind of person were abroad, he might become a perfumer for a top perfume brand, but it's a pity that he was born in China, and he was almost beaten as a reactionary because of this ability, and his family was ruined.
Here he was making incense, nervous and orderly, and over there, Cha Wenbin locked himself in the upper bunk and thought about what the master surnamed Guo of Yinshan said to himself.
"Am I really the Lone Star?" He is a Taoist priest, so he naturally understands what the Tiansha Lone Star means, and he only needs to open the compass and use the hexagram to divination, but the Taoist priest has never had a precedent for telling his fortune since ancient times. This is because those who are Taoist priests know that the number of fates has been determined, and if you know it in advance, some of these numbers will often change and go in a bad direction. These bad numbers will even be advanced, which means that the more you know, the more dangerous it actually means.
This is what every generation of Taoist priests will tell their apprentices that they must abide by, unless you already know that your life is short, it is just a matter of calculating when you will leave, and at that point, this life is basically over, and it doesn't matter if it is good or bad. In fact, not only Taoist priests, but also some fortune-telling scholars, and even Shenhan witches, they can count what others say about the sky, count how many grasses have grown on your ancestral grave, and there are a few bricks in the lower right corner of the kitchen, but they are the only ones who can't tell fortunes by themselves.
Picking up the hexagram, Cha Wenbin stuffed it back again, a day has passed, the man named Xiao An has been looking at his face in the mirror all day long, scratching his head and posing from time to time, is it possible that this Yinshan method will change its gender after practicing for a long time?
At six o'clock, most of the people in the factory dispersed, and the woman named Aunt Wu came to knock on the door, saying that dinner had been prepared. This is Cha Wenbin's first meal here, and he is safe when he comes, and he is accompanied by the charming man to the restaurant.
The dishes on the table are all vegetarian, and I can't imagine that the practitioners of this Yinshan method are still vegetarians, but their hearts are not so good. There were three people on the table, Aunt Wu was a little enthusiastic about serving soup to Cha Wenbin, this time he was a hostage at all, I didn't know that I thought it was a VIP from afar who was being entertained, and I was not aggrieved here at all, and I was blind that those who worked hard to practice incense have been worried.
Halfway through the meal, Aunt Wu said: "In the evening, there was news that the incense had already begun to be made, I heard that the butterflies around the Liu family were dancing, and there were many onlookers, but fortunately, you sent someone to guard the road outside, and the fat man actually got a few vicious dogs." ”
"You guys are really well-informed," Cha Wenbin said, "How many people have been sent to squat over there?" ”
The woman said: "Don't worry, we are trustworthy, how can there be a next time if a businessman is not honest in business?" ”
"I don't want a next time." Cha Wenbin hurriedly took a few bites of food and said, "It's been a day, can I go out for a walk?" ”
The woman's eyes slanted and said, "Xiao An, you accompany him." ”
"Don't worry, I'm also very honest," Cha Wenbin said: "Even if it's a one-time business, I pay attention to integrity, and I've been staying with this brother all day, and I'm a little tired." ”
The woman put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up, walked to Cha Wenbin's side, leaned down gently, and the two soft balls on her chest pressed against Cha Wenbin's back and pressed against his ear and said, "If you don't dislike it, then how about letting me personally accompany you for a walk?" ”
In the factory, a mature and charming woman is holding the arm of a young talent, Cha Wenbin is definitely not very handsome, but he is very patient with the mature charm of his peers. Today, he is dressed in a simple gray linen coat, and on his feet is a pair of round-toed black-faced cloth shoes, he often says that the cloth shoes are good, breathable, durable, and nourishing feet, which is sewn for him by Concubine Yu herself.
The woman had a smile on her face, and Cha Wenbin was also relaxed, and those who didn't know would think that this was a couple, and they were a good match. The two didn't speak along the way, but they seemed extremely close, as if they had known each other for a long time. Of course, the identity of this woman will not be a so-called factory director, she is more like a rose with thorns, and she is a stinger!
The fat man was gnawing on the cold steamed bun outside the door, and in a trance, he suddenly Cha Wenbin and the woman walked together, his face was full of spring breeze, the fat man was stunned, and the remaining half of the steamed bun fell to the ground with a "snap", and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.
When the two of them turned and gradually moved away, the fat man reacted a little, and immediately scolded: "Damn, Lao Tzu is eating cold wind and frozen seeds outside, and you are swaggering with a beauty inside, where is this hostage, it's just to be a carefree son." I knew it earlier, so Lao Tzu himself proposed to be a hostage, and ran outside to suffer this crime! ”
Aunt Wu asked, "I heard that you are already married, and the bride is very beautiful?" ”
"Yes."
"So you love her so much? But according to the information, you seem to care about another girl, but she ......"
Cha Wenbin's face changed and said, "There is nothing." ”
"Giggles" the woman smiled like a silver bell, "are you still angry?" I really care about her, as far as I know, her condition is not bad, it was you who saved her, the hero saved the beauty, it is really rare, if only I had met you earlier. ”
"Meet me?" Cha Wenbin said with a smile: "Are you going to sell it for a good price, or are you going to pull in the gang, I have a faint cyan face between my eyes, do you feel that every fifteen places and one in one place, I feel that the Hegu Tiantu Yang Mausoleum Spring will be faintly painful, and it is getting worse and worse every year?" ”
The woman was shocked, pulled out the arm that had been holding Cha Wenbin, and gently stroked the hair on her forehead and said, "How do you know?" ”
"In a few years, your mid-belly, Guan Yuan, Yangbai and Baihui acupoints will be in pain one after another, until the whole body is weak......"
Wen Bin said as he walked, the woman couldn't say a word, he was not wrong at all, it seemed that no one in the Yinshan vein could escape this catastrophe......
