Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 48
Su Jiu was ashamed.

As expected of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, this kind of wealth is so powerful that no one else can learn it.

The two came to the second floor.

The hall on the second floor is elegantly furnished, the floor is covered with clean and smooth purple bamboo mats, and in the center is a incense stand [-] inches above the ground, with three clear and meaningful characters "Xiangmantai" engraved on the wall of the stand.

Natural light pours down from the roof, making this incense stand brighter than other places.

There are also other incense mixing stations around, and literati and scholars sit on the ground in twos and threes, talking with smiles and discussing the famous fragrances they bring.

Su Jiu noticed that the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou was also there.

At this moment, many people were sitting around him, watching him concentrate on mixing incense.

Su Jiu walked over, and the shopkeeper was refining a type of orchid incense called "You Lan Cao".

His technique is so skillful that he doesn't even need a small scale, and directly uses a wooden spoon to sprinkle all kinds of incense powder from midair.

Bai Pang's fingers twirled the condensed honey like playing a piano, and easily combined the amber-like cooked honey and the powder in one place.

The movements are seamlessly connected, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Su Jiu sat cross-legged next to him with great interest, and with his dark eyes wide open, he admired his fragrance blending techniques without blinking.

Xie Rongjing found a bunch of green custard milk from nowhere, raised his head to bite and ate it, and squinted at the shopkeeper, commenting: "Frankincense is three cents more, and sandalwood is one cent less. Take the scale and weigh it, don't show off here."

The arrogant and arrogant voice made the people around look sideways.

The Baipang shopkeeper was not aware of his anger, he raised his head and was about to scold him, but seeing that it was Xie Rongjing, his distorted fat face instantly turned into an apologetic smile, he just pretended he didn't hear anything, and continued to mix the fragrance.

Su Jiu stared at the fragrant pill that was gradually forming in his hand, and said softly, "I don't think the amount of frankincense is too much, but there is something wrong with the selected orchid."

"Oh?"

"The most famous ones in Chunlan are Songmei, Jiyuan, Longzi, and Wanzi. These four kinds. The dragon character is precious, and its fragrance is too rich and flamboyant. Since this fragrance is named 'Youlancao', why not use it instead Song Mei with a quiet aroma?

"'There is nowhere to look for when you want to hear it, but when you don't want to spread the fragrance'. When it rains in Qingming, burn a stove, and the sweet orchid fragrance from Qingyuan hits you inadvertently, which is the real fragrance of orchids."

Su Jiu's voice is sweet, exuding the unique softness and coquettishness of Jiangnan, like the tenderness of paddles in a lotus pond gliding across the water.

Xie Rongjing was surprised.

This ugly little bookboy,

Still know the way of incense? !
Where did Xiao Tingchen pick up this little guy? He also wants to pick one up...

The people around hadn't recovered from Su Jiu's words, the shopkeeper was already sullen, and said with a sneer, "'You Lancao' has been sold in Xiangmanlou for three years, and it has received rave reviews. It can be called a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. Where did it come from, how dare you comment on it at will?!"

Others chimed in:

"That's right, shopkeeper Liu is a well-known incense maker, and the Orchid Exercise he concocts is a classic among orchid incense! In Jinling City, there is nothing else in the world except Fairy Zizhu's 'Zhilan Guifu'." Lan Xiang, better than this!"

Su Jiu refused to accept it, and was about to take out the Xiaolanchun he had refined from his purse, but thought that it would be better to keep a low profile in life, so he slowly lowered the hand that reached his waist.

Shopkeeper Liu twirled the mole on his lips, and proudly said: "Looking at you, it seems that you have hidden better fragrant pills than Youlancao and Zhilanguifu? Why don't you take it out and let us all see it?" Fan, open your eyes!"
