Chapter 130: Incense Incense

Wen Yiming nodded, sooner or later he was going to the capital, and there was just an opportunity to meet more top collectors, expand his contacts, and follow Ling Junsheng to get twice the result with half the effort.

"Okay, you guys get ready, and we'll leave in three days. Ling Junsheng looked at his son and admonished: "Especially you, you have to plan carefully, the water in the capital is too deep, it is a good thing to be ambitious, but you must also have the corresponding strength." ”

"Don't worry, old man, even if you don't believe me, isn't there still a Ming?"

Ling Tiancheng smiled, patted Wen Yiming's shoulder, and said shamelessly: "I don't have confidence in myself, but in him!"

"You ......"

The three of them laughed, and they were also helpless when they heard Yiming, people are invincible if they are shameless, Ling Tiancheng has reached this realm!

The fan and ancient coins were placed here for the old man to study, and when he heard Yiming, he returned home, simply packed his bags, and prepared to go north to the capital. In addition to making more contacts, his purpose is to go to Yunxiangzhai to see the heritage of a century-old brand.

The next morning, I was just about to go out, and suddenly the phone rang, and it was Bai Jing from Xinglintang, who asked the other party to meet him, saying that there was something good to come to the store.

Coming to Xinglin Hall by car, the white shopkeeper had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and when he saw Wen Yiming, he smiled and said: "Xiaoyou has not seen you for many days since the last goodbye!"

Wen Yiming sat down and said helplessly: "There are a lot of miscellaneous things, and I haven't had the opportunity to visit you again, I'm sorry." ”

"Polite, polite. Bai Jing waved his hand and said easily: "Last time, I heard that you need to use good medicinal herbs and incense? ”

After speaking, he took out a few pieces of medicinal materials, put them on the table, smelled a slight movement of his nose, the fragrance of the medicine, picked up a piece of He Shou Wu, nodded and said: "Yes, although it is less than a hundred years, it is also a rare thing." ”

Bai Jing nodded secretly, he deserved to be a strange person, his eyesight was superb, these medicinal materials were collected from many sources, and it took a lot of effort. Mainly because two days ago, I tasted a furnace of meditation incense at Tang Yifeng's place, and I was shocked, and I was naturally impressed by Wen Yiming.

"Huh, smoke the incense!"

I have seen a few He Shou Wu, the year is good, it can be used to Heyi Qi incense, the materials on hand are complete, and you can go back to the second time to combine incense. Suddenly picked up a pale yellow object, shaped like a water droplet, and said in surprise: "Good thing!"

"Scented land incense is milky white incense, "Southern Grass and Wood" cloud: smoked land, out of the Great Qin Kingdom, its wood is born on the sand by the sea, and the wood gum flows out in midsummer. The people of Shazhongyi took it and sold it to Jiake. ”

Buddhism calls it Tianze incense, which naturally drips from the incense tree, the shape is like a drop of water, the texture is warm, the fragrance is melodious, and it is the best grade. ”

"If it drops on the ground and is stained with sand and stones, it is inferior and has impurities. In Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, the incense is divided into thirteen grades, which is more detailed. ”

Bai Jing nodded and said: "I see, in fact, I don't know the specific details, but I just feel that it is an extraordinary thing, and after Xiaoyou's guidance, I suddenly realized." ”

Wen Yiming waved his hand and chuckled: "Ancient books record that smoked land incense is produced in the deep mountains in the south of the Great Food Country, and the trees are similar to pine trees. ”

"The best is called pick-up incense, big and round, like fingers, the world is called dripping frankincense, a gram of gold!"

Wen Yiming said eloquently: "The second grade is bottle milk, and the color is inferior to the former." Again, the first class is called bottle incense, and it is held in a bottle when it is harvested, and it is divided into three classes according to the weight and color. ”

"Then there is the bag of incense, harvested and put into the bag, which is also divided into upper, middle and lower grades, with average quality and close price. ”

"The above can be used in medicine and incense, the remaining incense has impurities, can not be entered, such as black collapse, poor quality, the worst is wet black collapse, not only sand and gravel impurities, but also soaked in seawater during transportation, the aroma is corrupted, the fragrance fades, and it is useless!"

Bai Jing listened carefully, interlaced like a mountain, and it was rare to have materials that he didn't know. Wen Yiming put down the incense block and said with a smile: "This piece should be produced in the south of Chiou Island in Greece, and it is also the hometown of the incense resin oil. There is a smoked incense village there, and the villagers have been extracting the smoked incense resin for generations. ”

"So far, the extraction of incense resin follows the ancient method, completely manual operation, first select more than five years of incense trees, from July every year, to begin the collection of incense resin. First clean the trunk and the place near the tree, and then cut the incision on the branch, how to cut is skillful, too shallow resin flow too little, cut too deep to hurt the tree too deep but not flow. ”

"Then sprinkle calcium carbonate powder on the ground, so that the ground of the incense trees turn into white soil, the harvesting farmer, about four to five trees at a time, the resin will be left from the cut branches to the ground at a very slow speed, after the white soil condenses into incense blocks, the farmer collects it and continues the tedious process of cleaning, refining, etc."

"Then the pure oil is extracted, which is collected from July to October, and then the refining begins, a long process that lasts all winter. ”

"In fact, incense can be grown in the Mediterranean, but only on the island of Chio will it flow out of the fragrant resin, becoming the only source of essential oil in the world. In Greece, many biscuits, ice cream, cakes, olive oil, mulled wine, toothpaste, soap, and cosmetics can all be related to incense. ”

"The most respected effect of incense resin oil in the pharmaceutical industry is antibacterial, so when added to toothpaste, it can prevent the growth of gum bacteria and improve oral health. ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!"

Bai Jing sighed: "The incense Tao comes from the medical Tao, although it has the same root and origin, but each has its own specialty. Today is an eye-opener for the old decay, thank you for your advice!"

Wen Yiming said politely: "You are a big expert, Yiming is just an axe from the class, these pieces are all good things, can you make a price?"

Bai Jing laughed, pointed to the medicinal herbs and said: "Money is a vulgar thing, it's not worth mentioning, but it's old and cheeky, I want to ask for a few incense burners, I don't know if it's okay?"

"No problem, you don't say that the younger generation should also honor your elder!"

Wen Yiming smiled and took out ten tranquilization incense sticks from the box, put them on the table and said, "I didn't give a gift last time, how can I come again empty-handed today?"

"Good, good, good!"

Bai Jing was overjoyed, the more he looked at and smelled Yiming, the more pleasing to the eye, young people are capable, modest and polite, who doesn't like it?

Wen Yiming originally planned to send Hexiang to Bai Jing, first, Tang Yifeng's relationship, they are all seniors, and they will be used in the future. Erxinglintang is the main purchase channel of Yaxiangju, especially for various medicinal materials, long-term partners, so it is natural to make a point.

Bai Jing raised the teacup and said respectfully: "Mr. is rare to come once, if you don't dislike it, how about taking a look at the old collection?"
