183, three hundred years ago
Wen Xixiu nodded slightly: "There has never been any herbs, but it only added some smell of lilies and mugwort tips."
The smell of 'Zi-Chrysanthemum' never rose, gradually floating slowly, and it was not until the musk in the aftertaste came up that it made people sigh. They smiled and said, "The smell of musk also became lowered."
The girl came up with tea, which was actually warm water. Because she wanted to smell the fragrance, she was afraid that the fragrance of tea would stain her nose.
Wen Xixiu pursed her lips: "After Yingyuan's advice, some light-tasting fragrances replaced musk with cedar, which not only greatly saved costs, but also had an irreplaceable cold atmosphere."
Many modern perfumes use other fragrances such as cedar to replace the musk flavor. First, musk is extremely expensive and not easy to obtain. Second, from the perspective of animal protection, many countries prohibit the use of musk.
Xiaoxiao sniffed the paper again: "What's rare is that the tea fragrance in this taste continues to the end. It really combines the sentence "Yesterday's east wind blows citrus flowers, and I'm sobering up with a cup of tea in the Spring Festival Gala."
"Brother was inspired by this poem, and the fragrance of 'citrus flowers' was made." Xizi smiled sweetly, and stood up and dragged his long skirt to walk around, like a picture of a walking lady in the Tang Dynasty. "It should be taken out these potted roses, otherwise they would not be able to taste the fragrance."
Xiaoxiao said, "No need to do this. The guests smell the fragrance in the shop. Can't we even place flowers?"
Xizi felt it was reasonable and placed the 'Zhihuahua' and 'Eight-Search Stories' together. The same bottle had different temperaments due to the different colors of the fragrance and dew: "Second brother, why don't you take out the 'broad-between the clouds', that color is the best."
Beauty is like a flower that is separated by the clouds, and it is also a sense of distance that is out of reach, which is very suitable for the theme of "letter".
Wen Xixiu placed a bottle of light amber fragrance on the table and the color was very noble. If you had to have a precise description, Xiaoxiao could only say that it was the color of tangerine peel Pu'er tea in a glass pot for the third time.
Wen Xixiu made a gesture and asked Xiaoxiao to open the bottle by himself.
The touch of the cold frosted glass is very comfortable in summer.
As soon as the bottle was opened, it seemed that all the smells did not exist. The potted roses in the house, the smiley cypress sweet pine scent bag, the powdery aroma on Xizi makeup, the osmanthus oil on the girls' heads, the clear air of plants and trees outside the window, the unique mint smell on Wen Xixiu's body, and even the residual aroma of the "citrus flowers" just now...all of them no longer exists.
Everyone was shrouded in a clear and distant, silent and heavy breath, passing through the nose and reaching the heart. When people were about to search for it, the breath rose high again and returned to the sky. "It's so good to catch people's preface!" Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, "Is this ancient fragrance?"
Wen Xixiu smiled: "It was the fragrance made by our ancestors, and it has been more than 300 years since then."
"It's really rare." After more than three hundred years, Xiaoxiao felt moved.
After the grand front smell, the middle smell became very clear, as if everything was about to be released: "I just covered all the smells. When these smells come back, she seemed to have spread over the clouds again, overlooking all living beings."
A genius must be able to make this fragrance.
Wen Xixiu seemed to see Xiaoxiao's thoughts: "This ancestor of the Wen family loved to make incense all his life. It is said that he was very talented, but he had no intention of fame and fame. He even ignored the business and business. He even never married his wife for life. He only brought a few incense disciples to live in seclusion in the mountains, enjoying making incense all day long, and traveling around the Jiuzhou to search for incense materials. This ancestor had a quirk. The fragrance dew and incense made in his hands were eventually discarded by him. I don't know if he wanted to make excellence or other intentions. The Wen family only focused on business at that time, and rose water was only distilled in the way of a great country. His father was angry that he was ignorant of his ignorance and wanted to remove him from the clan. However, his uncle cherished his talents and was willing to pay huge sums of money to make incense. In the end, he left his life's incense recipe to his uncle, dispersed his disciples, and went to the Western Regions alone, and there was no news since then."
The uncle who got the fragrance is probably the ancestor of the Wen family. It has been three hundred years, but who can tell me some things clearly? The fragrance is true and has not dissipated for three hundred years.
The aftertaste of the aroma gradually stopped with a lingering agarwood, like a cigarette emitted from the ancient Boshan stove: "It is rare that the aftertaste can be so shiny." Xiaoxiao said sincerely.
Wen Xixiu looked at him and smiled, and was about to say something, suddenly a girl came in and reported: "Fourth Master, girl,? The young master is here!"
Xizi was stunned for a moment: "Brother is here now?"
"He's fast." Wen Xixiu had no choice but to say goodbye first, and asked her sister to slowly try the remaining two fragrant dews for Yingyuan.
...
Xiaoxiao looked at the five bottles of fragrant dew left on the table by Wen Xixiu: "The color looks good when combined." Apricot powder, colorless, amber, red red, light blue, is very gorgeous in the matte bottle.
Xizi had already changed back to her regular clothes, and her hair was not exaggerated, so she kept it. She walked over and sat next to Xiaoxiao: "Do you think the other two tastes are good?"
Xiaoxiao did not answer her for the first time, and just asked in a low voice: "From the expressions of the girls, your young master must be a popular one." Since I heard that the young master came, the girls in the room have become light and energetic in an instant.
Xizi just laughed: "? Brother is a good-nature and is used to joking. The girls and him are neither big nor young, and he is never annoyed."
Indeed, being good-natured is very important. Xiaoxiao couldn't imagine what the scene would be like when Wen Xixiu and the girls were having sex with each other... His left and right brains were dislocated... Just now, the girls were all calming their anger...
"Your cousin came from afar, don't you have to greet him?" Xiaoxiao asked.
"He comes every year, just like his family. He will definitely see him at the dinner table anyway." Also, his cousin and his cousin are very different, and there is nothing to avoid.
Xiaoxiao was relieved, and she was afraid that Xizi would take him to see his relatives...
Back to the topic, I returned to the topic of Xianglu again: "The light blue 'Wao Water Sanqian' has a very selling point and the taste is also pleasing. The taste of green leaves and aquatic flowers is very suitable for summer." Xiaoxiao picked up another bottle of red red: "This 'Caizhang' is gorgeous and has a strong taste, but it seems to be unremarkable among the other four bottles. In terms of sweetness, she is not as good as 'Eight Run Shu', and in terms of richness, she is not as good as 'Shifting Shu', and the red red red is somewhat similar to the pink of 'Eight Run Shu'... In my opinion, it is better to leave only four bottles. 'Caizhang' is the fragrance of peony flowers, and you will never have to worry about selling it, but you can keep it in the next few issues for later use."
Xizi nodded slightly: "The four bottles are easy to advertise, and they are made like four screens, and they are easy to place. I will tell my fourth brother tonight."
Xiaoxiao fiddled with the perfume bottle on the table: "To be honest, the 'vice' just now amazed me."
"Isn't it?" Xizi smiled mysteriously and whispered: "There are better ones."
"Why didn't Brother Wen take it out a few years earlier?" Xiaoxiao couldn't help asking.
"You should have thought of this reason." Xizi didn't answer, and the tassels of the bamboo leaves and cherry blossom hairpin were shaking, making her eyes even more confused.
"Are you afraid that people who don't understand will blaspheme?" You are worried that the guests will reject it. You should carefully display it for people to see it, but no one appreciates it. So it's better not to take it out.
Xizi's eyes looked at the rose vine outside the window: "You may only feel three points of gratitude to you by my fourth brother. You don't understand the effort he put in to making incense. Although he was not as crazy as that of the ancestor, he was still obsessed with incense." Xizi's eyes turned and looked at him clearly and smiled: "He often said that Yingyuan gave Xianglu to show his decentness."
What a heavy thank you: "The words are heavy." Xiaoxiao pinched the Qiaoyun cup and took a sip of warm and cool water.
"You little hoots are going to change the tea, and you're watching Miss Tang drink cold boiled water here." Xizi smiled and scolded the girl.
"In fact, plain water has a unique flavor, just like the weak water of 3,000." The water quality of the Yuanlong Dynasty was very good. Whether it was well water or spring water, it was naturally sweet.
The girl hurried down to make tea. When Xizi saw a few girls looking happy, she asked the washing silk: "It must be? Brother has brought you another gift."
Huansha smiled and said, "The young master brought two boxes of yarn flowers to the girls, and people were picking them in the yard!"
Xizi waved his hand: "Forget it, look at what you are jealous, you can go and pick it up too."
Huansha smiled and said, "Anxiang has chosen all of us." As he was speaking, a girl ran in. Seeing the girl's kind-hearted look, she took out the bag in her hand. "There are all in your room here, and I have picked up a few more."
Xizi passed by his eyes first and saw the flowers in various shapes, flowers, insects and butterflies: "It's rare to be so exquisite, but he is good at being a human being, and he spoils you like this." He picked out a green '绿视频' from it: "The one who sees me is a part, I'll take the initiative and give this to Miss Tang's girl." After thinking about it, he picked up a cluster of redbud flowers: "Miss Wei will come here later, so let this be left to her girl."
Ranbi always had a wink and hurriedly saluted Xizi: "Miss Wen has ruined me! Miss Xie rewarded me."
Xiaoxiao just shook her head and said to Xizi: "You are a careful person, but you think about them."
Xizi had already given the bag of yarn flowers to wash the yarn: "Take it out and pick it for them. I see that these people can no longer hold back."
After washing the silk, she thanked the girl and waved her hand to call out the girls. The girls were eager to try and follow her.
"They all said I indulge my girl, but I think you are even worse than me." Xiaoxiao joked.
Xizi said: "They did not make any mistakes, why bother to work with anger all day long?"
Let employees enjoy their work happily and achieve twice the result with half the effort. Xizi is well aware of this.
