Pursuing Immortality
Chapter 13: On incense (below)
In a word, she found a sachet, one of which Zeng Shufei bought, saying:
"Like this Qing Ruixiang, I thought about it all night yesterday and didn't guess its material. I don't tell you, I have studied fragrant for three or four years, I have collected a lot of good materials, and I think I know something. But since Smelling your incense, I feel like I was busy before. "
"Oh, this is half of dingpi, half of jasmine, one or two of Gansong, one or two of chicken bone, half of chrysanthemum, two of Lingling, and half of Xinyi."
Gu Gu, without concealing it, put out the formula directly: "Crush these into powder, mix and mix, and you will have a taste similar to an orchid."
兰花 "Orchid? I always think this fragrance has a special meaning, no wonder, no wonder ..."
The old lady was holding her sachet and talking to herself, she seemed to understand where the faint implication came from. Then, she laughed again: "Little Gu, even if someone else knows Fang Zi, I guess I can't make this Qing Ruixiang."
"Ah……"
He's not humble this time.
说 Let us say that the magic of Hexiang is to use a seemingly unrelated material to express a unique flavor.
For example: the roses are unrestrained, and Su Heqi is strong. When they are mixed, they will have an overwhelming fragrance. The sky is quiet, and the camphor seed is lonely. If these two are added again, what will it be?
Is simple: As soon as spring comes to an end, the flower is over.
There are thousands of spices in the world, with different tastes, properties and characteristics. There are also tens of thousands of perfumers, and their heritage, technique and perception are also different.
Gu Gu can produce the empty valley Youlan, the highest meaning in the world. For the same material, it may not be possible to change people.
As for this fragrant prescription, Zeng Shufei asked it yesterday, but he was too lazy to care about it, the kid's mind was engraved on the forehead. Now he took the initiative to inform, because the old lady was not utilitarian.
姿态 This gesture also made the other person greatly appreciated, and Grandma Zeng passed those materials again, and suddenly stunned, wondering: "Xiao Gu, you don't seem to have agarwood here?"
"Why agarwood?" He also chanted.
"He Xiang is not to use ..."
When the old lady talked about it, she paused suddenly.
Gu Yan blinked and said suddenly: "Grandma Zeng, I understand what you mean. Precious spices like Shen Tanlong Musk have been admired since ancient times. Now they are even more powerful, especially commercial hype, it seems that no matter what kind of fragrance , There is no grade without adding Shentan. You are a rich man, and you use rich incense, including what you have learned, sent by others, and recommended by businesses, are rich incense. "
"This can't be wrong, because there is a genre like this, they mix incense in the way of Jun, Chen, Zuo, and Fu. Agarwood is mellow, elegant, and can blend the temperament of other materials. This is called Jun, so they often use Yes. But there are other schools, like ordinary spices, and the effect is very good. "
"For example?" The other asked.
"Like ..."
Gu Gu looked everywhere, his eyes stopped on the fruit plate in front of him. He held out his hand, picked up four petals of fruit lightly, lined up the case, and laughed: "Litchi shells, papaya seeds, orange peels, and Sydney syrup. These four kinds are dried and powdered, rubbed with honey and pill. Fire fumigation, called Xiao Sihe. "
"Little Sihe ..."
The old lady chanted in her mouth, staring at the fruits.
You know, Shen, Tan, Dragon, and Musk are called the four famous incense. One method is to take equal parts, and the final synthesized scent is called Sihexiang.
And these husk residues dare to call Xiaosihe, and the name just shows a naked ridicule and confrontation.
It's not over yet, Gu Ji continued: "You pick some berry seeds, slightly boil them with boiling water, soak them in wine for seven days, take them out to dry, and burn them in a copper furnace to become cypress."
"Smash the orange leaves, seal them in a small pot with bamboo chips, and heat them on a fire. Then use the bamboo chips as a spice, slowly smoke in the stove, smell the fragrance and sweet."
"In fact, spices are everywhere, just like the tree in your yard. If the bark naturally falls off and you grind it into powder, it is a good rosin."
"The materials are not expensive or expensive, just by preference. Smoked agarwood is the same as smoked Chenpi. If you have to count higher or lower, then you are better off."
"..."
The old lady listened with ears, looked at her, and remained silent. For a long time, she finally sighed, "Little Gu, I'm an eye-opener today!"
Uh ...
I am no wonder she is so emotional that playing with incense for several years, today only knows the surface.
Traditional Xiangdao faults are serious, and very few survived. The so-called fragrant toys on the market are mostly scale feathers that merchants tinker with in order to cooperate with local tyrants and fragrant friends.
Why is it called play?
Is 甭 seriously, happy.
You think! Hundreds of thousands of orchids, 100,000 pairs of walnuts, and millions of strings of Qinan beads. Who is so unhappy to play?
Gu Gu said so much in one breath, but could not help but slow down. He glanced at the time and said, "Grandma Zeng, it's not too late. I still have things at home, so I'll go back."
哎 "Hey, you keep up my talk, but you want to leave? This is not authentic!"
The old lady joked and said, "Xiao Gu, I'm really happy today, thank you for coming here. But I still have a merciless invitation, and I want to ask for a good fragrance."
"What fragrance do you want?" He asked.
"Any fragrance is fine, as long as you make it ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ 啧!
This is too much love, he can not help but develop a warmth, saying: "Well then, when do you want?"
"No hurry, when will you do it well and when will you give me ... Ah Hui!"
Suddenly the old lady called, a woman in her thirties came over, holding a small box in her hand. She reached over and smiled, "I have nothing to give you, so take this little gift."
哎 "Hey, this is not necessary! Grandma Zeng, you are so kind, really not!"
Gu Gu quickly got up and kept pushing.
"Sit down and sit down and listen to me ..."
She pressed her hand and said, "First, I like you kid, this is a meeting gift. Second, I ca n’t ask you for nothing, it ’s also a gift. Add two gifts and you have no reason Refuse."
"Uh……"
The elder Xie dare not resign, he pushed back to be hypocritical, and only said: "Thank you then."
Uh ...
Gu Gu arrived here in the evening, and he got up to leave at ten o'clock. Even so, Grandma Zeng is still a little bit reluctant. This young man is humble, courteous, and graceful, which really makes people like it.
The old lady wanted to send a car. He saw that the distance was long and did not refuse.
When I returned home, I washed, I woke up, and lay in bed before I remembered the gift. As soon as the box was opened, Gu Yi was dumbfounded, and inside was the gourd and jade incense stick.
Oh please! I just took a few more glances, and they noticed it!
While admiring the old lady's keenness, he couldn't help checking it on the Internet, and then he was taken aback: it was such a little thing that cost 10,000 yuan.
"Ugh……"
Gu 玙 took the incense stick and looked around, looking a little bit crying and laughing: With this 10,000 yuan, can you give me directly?
