Chapter 8: The Masters
"Karma ......"
Yang Yi's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the stack of Grandpa Mao in the other party's hand in surprise, he thought that the other party would give one hundred and eighty yuan, and he could earn a hard fee, but he didn't expect it, he didn't expect it, but after thinking about it, his own craftsmanship is top-notch, and it is definitely worth this price, thinking that he almost said that it would be okay to let the other party give one hundred and eighty yuan, he was annoyed for a while, you are looking down on other people's big dogs.
Yang Yi looked down at the little fat man, about twenty years old, he should still be a college student, his face is white and tender, but he is a little fatter, wearing a set of gray sports casual clothes, stepping on a pair of blue sneakers, seeing this pair of shoes, the latest A cone, this Yang Yi still knows a little, at least a few thousand smaller, if it is a copycat, then it is another matter, Yang Yi has not yet the ability to distinguish between a copycat and a genuine product, but seeing that this kid took out so much money from his wallet at once, saying that the cottage is not a slap in the face.
The boy looked at Yang Yi's expression a little embarrassed, and seemed to be a little angry in surprise, and said embarrassedly: "That's ...... , Boss, why don't you make a price, although I don't know a lot about incense, but you are definitely not an ordinary product, you say a price, I will transfer it to you, I will bring so much cash. β
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, take it, it's all for you, make a friend, just introduce me if a friend needs it," without the boy reacting, Yang Yi took a wad of money from the other party's hand, quickly stuffed it into his pocket, and then took out a few corn cobs and tea eggs together, "No, give it to you." β
The man took the bag handed by Yang Yi in a daze, and said happily: "Then thank you boss, I don't know what the name of this incense is?"
"Oh, this is called Meditation Incense, which can be used to calm the mind and nourish the sex. β
"Boss, do you have any other incense?" the boy asked after a moment's thought.
"No, just these three, you know, this thing is very troublesome to do. β
The boy nodded thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something again, and instantly became happy, and hurriedly squatted beside his girlfriend, and said excitedly: "Weiwei, look, grandpa's birthday gift is here, and his old man will definitely like it." β
The girl teased with the Great Sage for a while at the moment, casually glanced at the things that the boy put in front of her eyes, and asked strangely, "What is this, but it smells good." β
The boy said mysteriously: "Don't tell you, let's go, you also saw the monkey, let's not go to Niubi Mountain, let's go down the mountain while it's still early, I'm going to find a gift box." β
Looking at the girl who was reluctant to be dragged away by the boy, Yang Yi suddenly smiled, took out the money in his pocket, and counted it flatteringly.
"3200 yuan, Oye. It turns out that the money of rich people is so easy to make, Yang Yi's eyes are full of stars, and he seems to see that he already has a road to get rich under his feet.
Before he was crooked, he heard the noise of tourists at the bottom of the stairs, and quickly put away the coins in his hand, and instantly returned to the state of the ancient well without waves, which was simply a seamless switch.
......
In the evening, Los Angeles.
A silver Maserati was parked on the side of the road, and in the car sat a young man and a woman, who were the little fat man and his girlfriend who were buying sachets for Yang Yi in the morning.
The little fat man took out a sachet and opened it carefully, revealing the light brown incense pills inside the bag, one sachet contained three incense pills, each of which was full and even, with a hint of fragrance.
Then the little fat man took out a delicate sandalwood box from the side, which was lined with yellow flannel, and the little fat man carefully took out all the incense pills in the sachet and put them in the box, three sachets and nine incense pills were neatly placed in the box, with the exquisite box, it instantly became graceful and luxurious.
The girl looked at the little fat man's movements curiously, and this afternoon she accompanied the little fat man to run the whole Yixian to find a satisfactory box, and at this moment the whole carriage was filled with an elegant fragrance.
The girl wrinkled her small nose and sniffed twice, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "This smell is so comfortable," after speaking, she closed her eyes and leaned on the backrest, closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed the smell.
"That's for sure, you don't want to see who your husband is," the little fat man said proudly as he closed the box.
As soon as the box was covered, the smell gradually drifted away, and the girl glanced at the little fat man with disgust, and the little fat man immediately smiled with a shy face: "Weiwei, this is a gift for grandpa, next time I'm going to the boss to buy some for you, okay?"
The girl smiled and nodded with satisfaction, this smell was really fascinating, and the smell just now relieved her exhaustion from the afternoon.
Send the girl home, the little fat man returned to his grandfather's house just in time for the meal, the day after tomorrow is grandpa's seventieth birthday, before he has been worried about no good gifts, entrusted a friend to buy a few things are very valuable, but they are common things, can not show any intentions.
The little fat man's name is Xie Yuyang, his grandmother has passed away for many years, his grandfather Xie Xian is a native of Yi County, he dared to fight when he was young, taking advantage of the wave of domestic reform and opening up at that time, he plunged into the crowd of people who went to the sea, relying on a warm blood, stunned to lay a foundation in the provincial capital, and created a building materials company, the company has basically handed over to his son Xie Linsheng in the two years, the company is well organized under the care of his son, and in the past two years, he has also taken advantage of the boom in the health care products industry to enter the health care products industryγ
Xie Yuyang also has an older sister, Xie Yuqing, who is a few years older than her, and after graduating from college, she went to her family's company for an internship, and she is also very talented, and she is often praised by her father. Xie Yuyang is still in college and has no interest in the company, and now he is not short of money to spend, so he wants to enjoy his life in college.
After Xie Xian retreated to the second line, he returned to his hometown, bought a house in Luoshi, and began to live for a long time, and in recent years, he became obsessed with playing incense.
The family banquet was ready, only to see Xie Yuyang take a box, and hurriedly ran in, Xie Xian likes this grandson the most, it is very similar to when he was young, although it looks like a fool now, but Xie Xian knows that this kid is like a mirror in his heart.
A large family filled the table, Xie Yuyang's parents and some aunts and cousins were there, and they were embarrassed to say hello to everyone one by one, and they were pulled to the seat by their ears.
"It hurts, sister, don't drag it, your ears are stretched by you. β
"What are you doing, I don't know if the family has dinner today," Xie Yuqing was a little annoyed, this younger brother was too playful.
"Okay, Qing'er, don't complain about Xiaoyang, he must have something, or he wouldn't have come here so late. Xie Xian watched the fight between the two, and hurriedly smiled and explained for his grandson.
"Yes, yes, I'm going to buy a gift for my grandfather and get down to business. Xie Yuyang hurriedly slapped off his sister's claws, complaining in his heart that he was like a tigress, and he didn't know which unlucky ghost would become his brother-in-law.
"Hahaha," Xie Xian laughed twice, "It's the biggest gift for me that you can come back to gather," although his mouth was insignificant, his eyes never left the box in his grandson's hand for a moment, this kid hugged the box tightly as soon as he came in, and Xie Yuqing didn't snatch it away just now.
"Grandpa, I was going to give it to you at the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, but it doesn't matter, look at it, I took a lot of effort to buy it. Xie Yuyang invited merit, ran to Xie Xian's side, completely ignored his father's glare, and handed the box to Xie Xian with a smile.
The old man has worked hard to build this great foundation from poverty and whiteness, and after so many years, he has never seen anything, but he looks at his grandson's filial piety, and he looks cautious, for fear that others will snatch it away.
The old man took the box, although the box was exquisite, it couldn't get into his eyes, the box just opened a small crack, Xie Xian's eyes widened in an instant, and then he couldn't wait to open the box, only to see nine round and jade incense pills lying quietly on the interlining, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Seeing his grandfather's expression, Xie Yuyang knew that this thing would not be fake, and he was worried that the boss was a charlatan, so he didn't think much about it when he bought it, and then he thought that if it was fake, he would be embarrassed, but now it seems that there should be no problem.
The banquet is all their own family, nothing polite, the atmosphere is very lively, they are all looking at the old man at the moment, the box is facing away from everyone, they don't know what is inside, and the old man who can be excited should not be ordinary.
The old man looked at his grandson who was waiting to be praised beside him, and slapped Xie Yuyang on the head angrily, "Bastard boy, such a superb incense pill, but you take a sandalwood box to put it, fortunately, the time is short, and the fragrance is not destroyed, otherwise I will never spare you." After speaking, without waiting for Xie Yuyang to quibble, he got up on the stool, walked through the hall, and went to the quiet room where he often played incense.
Everyone laughed, probably knowing what kind of gift Xie Yuyang was giving, the old man has fallen in love with literary play and incense in recent years, everyone basically gives gifts to their liking, Xie Yuyang sat back in his seat stupidly, and the old lady gloated and smiled: "You don't know how to pretend to understand, half a bottle of goods is still swaying, hahaha, but that incense pill is really good, I just took a look, where did you get it, Yixian has never heard of a master who makes incense?"
"The master is still called the master when you know it?" Xie Yuyang scolded his sister angrily, and when he saw the old sister stretching out his claws again, he hurriedly said: "I met by chance when I was playing in Baiyun Mountain." β
Xie Yuqing raised her eyebrows when she heard Bai Yunshan and said: "I said why did I come back so late, my relationship is to take my little girlfriend to play, okay, let me tell you, talk about girlfriend, talk about girlfriend, it's okay to get together and disperse, if you dare to do anything sorry for others, I can't spare you first." β
"Hey, I know, I know, I care more than my mother. Xie Yuyang muttered, of course, the latter sentence did not dare to let the tigress in front of him hear it.
"Tell me, what does that master look like, how old is he?"
"You look about the same age as my sister, tall and thin, a very handsome young man, and a golden retriever monkey by his side, old and cute......"
When the old man sat back on the main seat, everyone began to feast, the old man's interest was obviously a lot higher, there was talk and laughter during the banquet, and the whole family was happy.
After the dinner, everyone was still talking and laughing, and the old man impatiently dragged his grandson outside, Xie Yuqing also sneakily followed behind, and the three of them came to the house where the old man was playing incense.
Playing incense, that is, a category that has only emerged in the last ten years, has little cognition, is difficult to improve, and the price is generally very high, and all the fans are relatively fixed and relatively niche. This is divided into two categories, one is like bracelets, and some are even willing to go to the origin to collect raw spices in person, and go back to open their own, which is similar to gambling on jade, and the test is eyesight and luck.
Another is to prefer incense, use good incense, pill incense, loose incense, smoke it in a copper furnace in the quiet room, or taste tea alone, or call three or five friends together, and enjoy it.
No matter what kind of it is, it has nothing to do with incense making, because incense making is a craft, a way, and playing incense is the joy of life.
The old man prefers incense, and the bracelet is dabbled, but the interest is not high. The sister and brother followed the old man into the quiet room, the quiet room was full of all kinds of incense utensils and spices, some of the two knew each other, most of them were very strange, usually the old man did not give the two contact, for fear of damaging his treasures.
The old man sat on the bed, and Xie Yuyang hurriedly poured tea for the old man.
Xie Xian took a sip of tea, took out three delicate sachets from a drawer, and glanced at his grandson with a roll of his eyes, "You must have bought the sachet at that time, right?"
"Well, yes, yes. β
"I usually tell you, you have learned from dogs," the old leaf is still angry about what happened just now, almost ruined such a good thing, the incense pill is most taboo to store with other things with fragrance, once the flavor is stringed, no matter how good the incense pill is, it will lose his original fragrance.
took out two sachets, one for each of his precious grandson and granddaughter, and one was solemnly hung by the old man on the head of the bed, "Go back and hang it at the head of your bed, this is a good thing." β
Xie Yuyang hurriedly put the sachet into his pocket with a smile, and without waiting for the old man to ask, he quickly told the old man about the experience of meeting Yang Yi today.
After hearing this, the old man leaned back, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "I didn't expect that there would be such a master in the small Yi County." β
Seeing this, Xie Yuqing hurriedly said: "Grandpa, if you are interested in that person, after your birthday the day after tomorrow, Xiaoyang and I will go up the mountain, how about inviting him down to meet you?"
"That's good, hey, don't you say I really didn't remember, when I saw the master, I said that I was old and inconvenient to move around, otherwise I would have visited the door by myself, by the way, Xiaoyang, you give me a politeness, but you can't make a mistake." The old man also came to his senses at once, and told the two of them.
Out of the quiet room, Xie Yuyang looked at his elder sister suspiciously, "How do I feel that you are not going to invite grandpa to ask for a master, but to find a brother-in-law for me." β
"Oops, it hurts...... , Xie Yuqing, can you not pull my ears next time......"
"Hey, it hurts...... It hurts ....... β
