Chapter 41: Incense Making
Hearing Caiping insulting herself like this, Caizhu snorted angrily, she turned her back and stopped looking at Caiping, "Isn't there a saying in officialdom, the food king's Lu bears the king's worries, if I really can't help Bai Zhang's affairs, I don't need her to say anything, I will naturally leave, Caiping, what are you worried about?" I think you're jealous of her. ”
The conversation between the two broke up unhappily.
Early in the morning, Mu Qingqing came to the backyard, and she saw the pot of aloe vera under the eaves at a glance, which was one less than yesterday.
Who picked it, Mu Qingqing also knew in his heart.
Thinking of making rouge, Mu Qingqing didn't care about that, turned around and walked to the shelf, took off the gardenia petals, she put the gardenia in a stone pot, and pounded it seriously.
After a while, Chun Niang came, and when she saw Mu Qingqing working seriously in the yard, Chun Niang showed a kind smile on her face, "Qingqing, why did you come so early?" ”
Mu Qingqing saw that the person who came was Chun Niang, and also smiled at her, the sun in the morning was not big, but it was also a little dazzling, Mu Qingqing raised his head and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, "Bai Zhangshi said, this batch of rouge is urgently needed, I still have to speed up." ”
If rouge wants to be formed, it needs to be refrigerated overnight, and she is working now, and it will be formed early tomorrow morning.
Chunniang nodded, picked up her tools, and walked towards Mu Qingqing, "Is there anything you need my help with, although I am clumsy, but I can also help you with the project of smashing flower petals." ”
Mu Qingqing glanced at Chunniang's hands, those hands that had been beaten for years had thick calluses, which must have been formed by years of pounding medicine.
This is undoubtedly Chun Niang's humble words.
A smile rose at the corner of Mu Qingqing's mouth, "Really, thank you so much, I still need some red rose powder." ”
Mu Qingqing's generous thanks, but it made Chun Niang like her more, they have an unwritten rule in the incense industry, that is, who makes the incense, must be completed by her alone, as for the reason, it is afraid that this secret recipe will be leaked and break the rules of the ancestors.
"Okay, I'll go." Chun Niang took the stone basin and walked towards the shelf, and after a while, the red rose powder was polished.
Looking at Chun Niang's pot full of red rose powder, Mu Qingqing looked down at her gardenia pollen again, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, Chun Niang's powder was delicate and numerous, and she grinded it out herself, but it was pimple, and it didn't look very satisfactory.
Sensing Mu Qingqing's embarrassment, Chun Niang smiled kindly, she put her hand on Mu Qingqing's hand, and said in a slow voice, "I am about to be older than your age when I make medicine, this technique is naturally familiar, Qingqing, you don't have to worry, take your time, it will always get better." ”
To be honest, it is not easy for Mu Qingqing's age to grind so much pollen so quickly, and the colored beads and color screens of her age can't grind so much in an afternoon.
Mu Qingqing nodded, what Chun Niang said was reasonable, she didn't have to be sad about this, Chun Niang took the stone basin and pestle from her hand, and after a while, the gardenia pollen was also a lot more delicate.
To make the pollen of rouge, it is considered to be finished, and the next thing to do is to drip blood.
Knowing that Mu Qingqing was going to use her secret recipe, Chun Niang raised her eyes and looked inside the store, and smiled at her, "I'll go to the front to help, find a few boxes for rouge for you, you can do it yourself." ”
After saying this, Chun Niang left with interest. Mu Qingqing was very grateful, brought two pots of pollen into the house, mixed the pollen evenly, and pricked his fingers, and after a few drops of blood dripped in, the fat powder became a little more red.
The fragrance of gardenia is elegant, the taste of roses is a little more noble, and after the blood is integrated into it, there is an indescribable fragrance, Mu Qingqing beat his shoulder, and after working all morning, it is finally about to take shape.
When Chun Niang came over with a wooden box, she happened to see Cai Ping lying at the door peeping, seeing this, Chun Niang's expression became sharp, and she scolded in a low voice, "Cai Ping, what are you doing here?" Why are you so out of proportion! ”
The color screen peeping was very serious, and suddenly heard the voice behind her, and suddenly the six gods were frightened, she sighed, and when she looked back, she saw that the person was Chun Niang, patted her chest, and complained angrily, "Chun Niang, why do you walk like a ghost, there is no sound at all, are you going to scare me to death?" ”
Chun Niang glared at her, "Don't think I don't know the careful thoughts in your heart, that craft is passed down by Qingqing Ancestor, how can you learn it secretly." ”
"Good things have to be shared." Color screen knew that she didn't pay attention, but she still retorted loudly.
In fact, Cai Ping didn't see anything outside, Mu Qingqing was making incense with her back, and she didn't know what Mu Qingqing used, and after a while, a fragrance wafted out of the house.
At this time, Mu Qingqing pushed open the bamboo door, raised his eyes and saw the color screen standing outside, and frowned slightly. Oops, she was really careless this time, if she was seen dripping blood into the fat powder by the color screen, they would definitely see themselves as monsters.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingqing clenched her fists, she couldn't let others see the wound on her fingertips.
"Qingqing, look at this box, can you?" Chun Niang stepped forward and spread the box in front of Mu Qingqing, and when she saw the painted vermilion wooden boxes, Mu Qingqing's eyes lit up.
This box is really exquisitely made, the vermilion shell is matched with a pure black hook line, and it is immediately upgrade, small and exquisite, and people can't put it down at a glance.
"It's so beautiful, whose craft is this!" Mu Qingqing couldn't help but exclaim, she has always liked some handicrafts, and she has collected a lot in modern times, and now this antique box is in front of her eyes, which really makes her love it.
"You really haven't seen the world, this is made by Pusheng, how much you want." Seeing Mu Qingqing's appearance as if he had seen a baby, the color screen on the side couldn't help but sneer.
Mu Qingqing didn't pay attention to her, but set his eyes on Pu Sheng, who had just come back, Pu Sheng had just taken the colored beads to the mountain to collect patterns, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Mu Qingqing looking at him with a look of adoration.
"Brother Pusheng, your hands are really amazing!" Mu Qingqing took a box and walked in front of Pu Sheng.
never thought that his heartfelt praise would make Pusheng blush.
Pu Sheng scratched his head shyly, and his stiff back straightened slightly, "No... Nothing, if you like, I can make a few more. ”
"What does this smell like, it's so fragrant." Caizhu's nose is very sensitive, and when she stood at the door, she smelled the fragrance of fat powder.
Several people entered the house together, and when they saw the red rouge, they were all stunned, and the aroma of the room was really intoxicating.
