Chapter 129 Douxiang 1
Zilan and Ziyan hurriedly arranged the paper and pen, Ziyan was responsible for grinding, and Zilan sat in front of the case and was about to start writing.
The incense master lit the incense and then said: "To accurately state the way to light incense, such as burning incense or smoking in pieces, you must explain clearly; the ingredients of the spices must be prepared by one qian, and how long it will take to store them in the cellar must be clearly stated. The more careful the more accurate the bet you get, the more rewarded you will get, and within one stick of incense, the requirements are fast and accurate."
As he said that, he raised his hand and asked the servant on the right to lit a fragrance, and the scent began.
While speaking, the cigarettes had slowly floated out. The customers in the restaurant began to hold their breath and concentrate, slowly inhaled the cigarette, and started writing on the table.
Everyone wanted to ask that it be written on paper and handed over to the incense master for inspection. It would not be allowed to shout randomly, otherwise it would be unfair. I wrote it myself and handed it over to the servant. Each table has a number. The incense master would sing the number of distinguished guests at the table to win this game.
Zian also smelled the fragrance, closed his eyes slightly and savored it carefully, and repeatedly pondered it in his mind. Yang Yu and others were also writing, but it seemed that they were not written incompletely, with a somewhat entangled and hesitant expression on their faces.
Seeing that the fragrance had already burned one-third of it, Zi Yan looked at his sister anxiously, and it would be too late to write it.
Zi Lan opened her eyes and lifted up the confident pen, and finished it in one go without a trace of hesitation.
After writing it, I read it, nodded slightly, and handed it to the waiter.
"Go quickly, go quickly, don't report the wrong table name."
Zi Yan shouted behind him.
The waiter ran all the way and didn't forget to answer his words, "I can't be wrong."
"The answer to Bao Er upstairs."
The waiter sang the newspaper loudly and handed it over to the incense master.
The incense master opened it and looked at it, nodded and smiled, picked up his pen and wrote the word "Private Room 2" as a sign so as not to be confused for a while.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people are handing over the notes. This incense is more troublesome and not everyone can guess.
The time for a stick of incense has come, and Zilan is also a little nervous. He has been playing incense at home before and has never played outside. This is the first time he has been playing incense outside. I also want to know if what I guessed is right and if there is any missing link.
"Now I will announce the answer, this fragrance is Luling Xiang.
The 72 zhu zhu, that is, three liang, made into pieces, and boiled into one liang, and half; the 12 zhu zhu, that is, half liang; the 2 zhu zhu, that is, one qian, made;
Suhe oil Wuzhu, which is two qian and two fen; musk three zhu, which is one qian and one character; agarwood six zhu, which is one qian and one qian; Scrophularia glutinous rice is one zhu, which is half a qian.
Slice ten pears, grind them into finely, grind them into pieces, take their juice, twenty Qingzhou dates, add two bowls of water, boil them into thick soup, soak the red sandalwood overnight, boil them over low heat, add half a tael of honey and flamed salt, grind them into spices, mix them carefully, store them for one month, and burn them for use.
This is an ancient formula, and only one person answered the answer correctly. He was the customer who bought two of them upstairs. The prize was a box of ten incense items, plus a copper engraved incense burner."
"We guessed it right, sister, you are so awesome."
Zi Yan turned his face from the window and shouted excitedly.
"So I want to have flame salt. I didn't expect this, and there were also samsara, but I didn't smell it. I only smelled the dates."
Yang Qi slapped his head and suddenly realized.
Zi Lan also smiled happily, smiling like a flower, looking very happy, and it is a good sign to start a good start.
The waiter brought up the sky-green porcelain box containing the incense cakes, which contained ten incense cakes with carved patterns in the size of chess pieces, and also brought a incense burner in a red paint box.
"Miss, this is your incense."
"Thank you, I'll give you a reward."
Zilan smiled happily, and gave Muxiang a wink to reward the waiter in the shop.
"Thank you, Miss."
The waiter retreated outside and waited.
"Sister, you are so awesome. Brother will grind you for your sake and continue guessing."
Zilan smiled and shook her head, "I guess you have to guess, but it's not easy to win the prize. I'll just have a good start and have a lively atmosphere. If I win, my mother will scold me. I'll just guess and play with it in private."
You will stop when you see it is good, and you will be ruined after winning the prize. You will also have to let other customers taste some desserts.
"Okay, then you write and I'll compare it to you."
Zi Yan was still excited, as if he suddenly felt the charm of Douxiang, and found it particularly interesting.
The following discussion was also very lively, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and lively. The waiters kept filling tea and snacks, which was very busy.
The sound of the piano was swaying, and everyone was talking politely. When the incense master raised his hand, everyone immediately remained silent and remained silent.
"We will continue to guess the next incense product."
The incense master smiled slightly, and the second incense product had already lit it, and the waiter lit the incense line.
Zi Lan also started to prepare and waited quietly after writing.
Sure enough, after a stick of incense, the incense master began to announce that this incense is the retro Dongge Yuntou incense.
Take a 10-liang tael of wax agarwood, three-liang of golden face, three-liang of whisk in hand, one-liang of gardenia, two-liang of plum blossoms, two-liang of ambergris, two-liang of musk, one-liang of stone yarn, and half-liang of erectile scent.
Grind the above raw materials into fine powder, mix them evenly with rose water, grind them with stone mills, remove them with molds and make them into patterns, and burn them in a normal way.
Zi Yan ran to see the prescription written by his sister, and it was exactly the same as the incense master's words, and he immediately smiled happily.
The guess is that this incense is a male customer who got a box of this incense product, plus a small and exquisite porcelain incense burner.
The fragrances that you use to make a Douxiang are not bad. This one contains ambergris agarwood, etc., and it is also of high value and is not a bargain.
Xianglou was just starting to try to show off good incense products and signboards. The prizes that customers took back after fighting incense several times, and the reaction was very good after smoking, and the business of the incense shop became much prosperous.
It is not okay to know the secret recipe just by knowing it, but every incense master makes the same flavor differently, not to mention changing to individuals, the level is also different.
Soon the incense master asked someone to take down the incense burner, change it to come up, and prepare to light the third incense, which is the last incense stick to today.
The important cleverness is that there are many ways to make ambergris. If you don’t know the specific secret recipe, you can’t be the same as this fragrance. If you change the preparation method, the fragrance will be different, so you are not afraid of the secret recipe leaking.
The customers were talking a lot, and they were very enthusiastic about the discussion, and Zilan and the others were also talking, looking very excited.
"Sister, you guessed it well. It's so amazing. Someone actually guessed it. If it was another incense master, would he steal our secret recipe?"
Zi Yan was a little worried, what if he met a powerful incense master.
"Not afraid, everyone's incense making skills are different. Even if you get a secret recipe, it's different from ours. Since my mother dares to fight incense, she is not afraid that others will learn it. The incense master's level is uneven, and not everyone can learn it."
Zilan himself is an incense master. He knows that it is difficult to cultivate a high-level incense master. It requires a lot of precious medicinal materials and spices to practice, and many people cannot meet this condition.
Not to mention other ambergris and agarwood, these things are expensive. The more top-notch the ingredients, the better the fragrance will smell, and the flavour level will gradually increase, and this kind of fun is endless.
