Chapter 126 Agarwood Production Reduction
Chapter 126 Agarwood Production Reduction

What is "semi-wild boar"?Feng Tiance also threw a lot of pigs in the space, and these pigs, the piglets had several litters, and they were still running around all over the mountains and plains, almost turning into wild boars.

As for pheasants, most of them are used for breeding, and they can be bought with money.This thing does not require any approval procedures, and no one cares about you if you raise it casually.

Having made up his mind, Feng Tiance whistled and went to arrange lunch, which didn't make him frown.

In the next few days, Feng Tiance's life was leisurely.

In the morning, I went to the county warehouse to prepare all kinds of saplings, and then called the logistics company to load and deliver them. Naturally, Liu Yuzhu and Zhang Youcai would receive them at the ferry.

Back home at noon, have a delicious lunch, and then take a nap.In the afternoon, he took Lang Yi and Lang Qi to "patrol the mountains", that is, to take a casual stroll.

After dinner, he usually enters the space and sits in front of the cabin drinking tea and reading a book, sometimes for two or three hours at a time.

When he gets tired of reading, he will do his "daily life", watering, playing with flowers and trees, sometimes going to see musk musk deer, sometimes going to see foxes, weasels, takins and so on.Occasionally, he can also see crested ibis flying across the air, golden monkeys or squirrels jumping in the forest.

Thirsty and hungry, there are all kinds of fruits in the orchard, and there are all kinds of delicious ingredients.If you are bored, you can take the puppy and leopard to chase the rabbit.

He feels that real leisure can only be found in space.Once back to the outside world, all kinds of disturbances will follow.

Just like today, after that day, Lin Xiaojing finally called.It was also confirmed that the application for forest musk deer breeding procedures was stuck in the Forestry Department, and more specifically, it was stuck in the hands of Zhang Yishan.

"Hey, that's why we don't meet friends! Zhang Yishan, after being transferred to the Forestry Department, is responsible for the approval of wild animal breeding."

Zhang Yishan is now the chief staff member of the "Wildlife Conservation and Nature Reserve Management Office" of the Provincial Department, responsible for the approval of wild animal domestication.

"If you know it's you, it's easy to handle! Zhang Yishan!"

After Feng Tiance ended the call with Lin Xiaojing, he couldn't help laughing. He decided to try to mobilize all the resources in his hand and fight back.See if you can make it that far.

However, before that, he still has a very important thing to do, which is to get aloes.

After entering the space, he brought all the tools and came to these agarwood trees.

Now, taking incense is already a familiar matter for him.But when he confidently cut open the trunk of the first agarwood tree, he was a little unbelievable.

"Why is there so much less aloes this time?"

He saw that the center of the trunk was full of hollows, and there was less agarwood formed than when he took the incense for the first time.

While he was wondering, he took out the agarwood from this agarwood tree.Next, from the second, third to fourth trees, the amount of agarwood produced by this batch of cultivated agarwood is not very large.

Pick out a slightly larger piece of material and smell it close to the nose. The aroma of agarwood is very good and full of charm.Look at the oil line on the surface, it is as fine as a spider web, very beautiful!There is no problem with the quality of these agarwoods, even better than the agarwood he produced for the first time.However, this quantity is wrong. Why is the production of this batch greatly reduced?
After careful observation, Feng Tiance slapped his head in annoyance and found the reason.

"Fuck, the problem is with the well water."

The current space well has a little more water, and he hasn't added any new sample trees.So, this time before the incense blossomed, he sprayed the well water stock solution on the wound of Agarwood.

When he first tried to make incense, he sprayed the wounds of the trees with a dilution of well water.

This time, the agarwood he chose to make incense is more than ten years old, and the purpose is to make incense sticks.Therefore, the incense produced by these trees is unlikely to produce large pieces of high-grade agarwood, but mainly broken materials.

This is expected and no problem.The problem is that he sprayed the original well water solution, which greatly speeded up the whole process of making incense.However, because the age of the agarwood tree is not long enough, the oil glands of the tree are not developed enough, and the secretion of oil will not keep up with the speed of the fragrance.

This is the reason for the sharp reduction in production of this batch of agarwood, not one of them.To put it bluntly, the condition of the tree itself cannot keep up with the speed of incense, so there are so many holes.At first, he might as well have sprayed it with well water dilution.

"Hey, it's self-defeating! For ten-year-old agarwood trees, spraying 5.00% to [-]% well water dilution is enough. Experience, you will know next time."

Finding the reason is the most important thing.Anyway, even if the production is reduced, the agarwood produced by these four agarwood trees is enough for him to make a lot of incense sticks.

"Okay, let's start working!"

There is also a large bag of agarwood from four agarwood trees, with a total weight of nearly eight catties.Feng Tiance came to the cabin with these harvests in mind.

The first process is "washing".

That is to remove all the white wood burrs and remove all impurities from the agarwood fragments that have been taken out.Then wash it several times with water and dry it.

The second process is "abrasive".

It is to grind the dried agarwood fragments and the processed musk into powder separately.

The third process is to mix the powders of the two spices according to the ratio, and then add a binder to make fragrant mud.

The last process is naturally to make incense sticks.

Among these processes, the most complicated is the third process.Mix spices according to the "rule of nine".That is to say, agarwood is the main ingredient, and musk is the supplement, which is the so-called "nine sinks and one musk".

However, this nine to one is an approximate number, and the compatibility between two different spices has various changes.Even if it is a combination of agarwood and musk, there will be various changes in the proportion due to the origin and quality of the raw materials.

This ratio directly affects the grade of incense sticks, and the "nine points method" tells you how to find the most suitable ratio.

How about the "nine-point method of making incense in the ancient way" is the secret technique of making incense?
"Okay, let's dry the few sticks of incense that have been made, and let me see how the quality of the incense sticks is this time."

In fact, it is better to place the incense sticks to dry in the shade for a few days.But at the moment, he is only trial-producing five sticks of incense to test whether there is any problem with the craftsmanship, so quick drying is also fine.

The remaining temperature of the extinguished charcoal fire must be used for drying. The temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will affect the quality of the incense sticks.

The five incense sticks dried out quickly, Feng Tiance took them out of the space and returned home.

After calming down and adjusting his state, he lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner on the wooden table
