Light incense Chapter 5 The men and women who come to make trouble
A waterwheel, as the name suggests, is a vehicle powered by water energy.
"Punch a hole in the middle of the peeled cypress segment, insert it tightly with a wooden wedge, and hang the wooden segment on the rocker arm of the waterwheel"
Shi Manxiang picked up the wooden segment and hung it on the rocker arm.
"Then, driven by the waterwheel, these wooden sections are rubbed day and night in the trough paved with stone slabs until they are all ground into wood mud, and in the process of grinding the wood mud surface, an appropriate amount of water should be added to the trough, so that they can be kept at the right temperature and ensure the quality of the mud to the greatest extent."
Shi Manxiang pointed to the tiny spout.
"Isn't that too slow?"
Yun Yi looked at the waterwheel in front of him, and the very primitive water mill technology.
"My father has been making this incense for decades, and he said that this is something left by the ancestors, so it should be made according to the ideas of the ancestors."
"Of course, some mass-produced Tibetan incense is a modern process." Shi Manxiang explained.
Shi Manxiang stopped the waterwheel: "In fact, this society used to be busy, and people's demand for incense was not very large, and few people quieted down to feel incense, let alone make incense." ”
"The people who make incense must be united in their hearts and minds, and the production of Tibetan incense is to have faith, and every Tibetan incense is to entrust our incense makers to the protection of the world."
"It sounds really complicated, and there really aren't many people who can stick to it."
Yunyi squatted down and touched the incense mud in the sink.
"That's why it's listed as an intangible cultural heritage, and I just want young people like you to understand and pass it on."
Shi Manxiang squatted beside Yun Yi and said with a smile: "How is it, are you interested?" ”
"Manmana! Manman is you no! ”
Shi Manxiang heard her father's voice and stood up helplessly.
"I'm here!"
"How did this incense room open!"
Shi Tianlei just walked around the corner and saw another man stunned in place.
Shi Manxiang was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she hurriedly pulled Yunyi to her father: "This is my junior brother Yunyi, and I want to learn how to make incense." ”
Shi Tianlei's eyes swept Yunyi from top to bottom.
"Young man." Shi Tianlei asked cautiously, "Are you really here to learn how to make incense?" ”
"What do I think?" Shi Tianlei tilted his body and looked at Yun Yi, "You look like that star came to the catwalk." ”
"Dad!"
Shi Manxiang pulled him aside: "He paid me the deposit for learning to make incense yesterday." ”
"What do you say! Did I tell you that you don't need to charge money to learn to make incense! ”
"I know! Listen to me. Shi Manxiang eagerly pulled her father, "He took my mobile phone and stuffed it, what can I do, I can only teach others well." ”
Shi Tianlei looked at her for a long time, and then turned his head to look at Yun Yi who was standing in place at the same time.
"This is probably the most handsome perfumer I've ever met in my incense making career."
Shi Tianlei sighed: "Your mother should like it very much." ”
"Dad! My mom always thinks you're the most handsome. ”
Shi Tianlei was very satisfied with her killing, and came to Yunyi again with the support of Shi Manxiang.
"Young man, as long as you want to learn, we will do our best to teach you!"
Shi Tianlei was happy.
"Master, master!"
The guy outside hurried in and interrupted the conversation between the three of them.
"What's wrong with the stone?"
"A man and a woman came outside, saying that there was a problem with our family's incense, and they were making trouble."
When Shi Tianlei heard that it was a question of incense, he quickly walked forward.
Shi Manxiang was not worried about her father, so she and Yunyi also followed.
Before I got to the front, I heard a sharp male voice: "You must give me an explanation today!" ”
"What the hell happened to this guest?"
"He's the shopkeeper." The woman next to the man pointed at Shi Tianlei and said.
"Old man, there is a problem with your incense, and now my wife is in the hospital, so you can say what to do."
The man stared at Shi Tianlei viciously, and wanted to reach out and pull him by the collar.
The overly angry voice also attracted the attention of passers-by.
"This guest, how did your wife end up in the hospital?"
The man's chest rose and fell: "Mom, you say!" ”
The woman who was called her mother by the man complained with snot and tears: "The soothing incense I bought from you, but it turned out that my grandson was gone, I really made a sin." ”
The woman cried and shouted as she spoke.
"The grandson is gone?" Shi Manxiang frowned, "Did you have a miscarriage?" ”
"Get out." The man roared at Shi Manxiang, "Why haven't you harmful manufacturers been banned, the garbage incense from the garbage incense factory!" ”
As he spoke, the man reached out and grabbed the burning incense that had been placed next to him and threw it at them.
Yun Yi protected Shi Tianlei and Shi Manxiang from the small copper tripod thrown by the man, and the small copper tripod smashed the glass behind him.
"Yunyi!"
Shi Manxiang hurriedly checked to see if Yunyi had been scratched by the glass.
Yun Yi wiped the side of his face and found that there were blood stains.
"It's okay, it's just a bruise, I will give you medicine later, it shouldn't leave a trace."
Shi Manxiang was a little angry, and stepped forward to protect Shi Tianlei and Yunyi behind her.
"This guest, I understand your feelings, but there is absolutely no problem with our incense."
"You're still quibbling!" The woman who was crying breathlessly suddenly became impatient, and before everyone could react, she stepped forward and grabbed Shi Manxiang's hair.
Shi Manxiang didn't have the old woman's move, and when she came back to her senses, her hair was already in her hands.
Shi Manxiang was torn to the pain, but when she found that her strength was not as strong as this old woman, she was a little desperate.
"Get out."
Shi Manxiang's scalp instantly relaxed, she covered her head and found Yunyi standing in front of her.
Sticking out her head, she found that the old woman was pushed to the ground by Yunyi, and her mouth screamed again and again, ouch, murder.
"Yunyi!"
Shi Manxiang eagerly walked out from behind him and stepped forward to help the old woman up.
This kind of old man can't help but fall, and when he slanders the master, it is simply a bottomless pit.
But before she could meet the old woman, the whole person was dragged back by Yunyi
"Don't pull, this kind of person won't listen to you if she doesn't teach her a lesson."
"You guys!" The man picked up his mother and turned to the crowd, "You all saw it!" What kind of face is this incense seller, my wife had a miscarriage in the hospital, we wanted an explanation but were treated like this, my mother is over seventy! ”
The crowd outside the store pointed at the people inside.
"What's going on, what's the noise?" Two patrol officers walked in from outside.
When the old and the young saw that there was a patrol officer, they immediately acted more energetically, and told the patrol police about their experience.
"What's going on in the old days, you've been here for decades, how can this happen?"
A patrol officer stepped forward to understand the situation.
"It's really not a matter of incense, when the guest came to buy it, we told pregnant women or people with allergies that it is not appropriate to use incense, and she said that it was bought for her own use."
"Nonsense! Son, I'm dead. So saying, the old woman was going to hit the wall.
The man hugged the old woman who was going to die and live, and greeted Shi Manxiang and his party in his mouth,
"My mother is over 70 years old, and you still have to pour dirty water on her, are you human!"
"Whether it's dirty water or not, just look at the monitoring, I don't pay attention to my wife and hand it over to my mother, and if something happens, I blame others."
Yunyi walked to the side of the monitor: "What a good man." ”
