The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 169 Aromatherapy Prescription ([-])
"I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking, but this is a death order from the palace."

This is nonsense, but nonsense has to be said.

As the first steward of Tianzihao Workshop, Liu Shen was under a lot of pressure.When Deng Cangyun, the owner of the shop, told him about this task, he said that there was absolutely no possibility of bargaining for the note sent by the Shangxiang Bureau in the palace.

This year, when paying tribute to Xiaxiang, Xijiang Xiangfang, a provincial-level incense workshop, has to hand in ten aromatherapy prescriptions, while the lower-level government-level incense workshops and Yujiang Xiangfang have to hand in five.

"When we arrive at our place, we still have to hand in three..."

Deng Cangyun also had a worried expression on his face: "Guan Liu, whether our Xiangfang can pass this level depends on your Tianzihao Workshop."

"Fangzhu, we may not be able to produce three. One can be used for a new fragrance...and it must be a prescription that focuses on aromatherapy. How difficult it is to get, you know..."

Deng Cangyun said, "Of course I know."

He is also a senior perfumer. Although he is not well-known, his abilities are not bad.

"Anyway, we don't seek meritorious service, but seek no faults. The prescription doesn't need to be too good, as long as it's new!"

Although Master Fang said so, Manager Liu couldn't really arrange things like this, and he didn't dare.

If you really want to hand over a fragrant prescription full of moisture, even if your owner doesn't say anything, can you not have opinions on yourself?Liu Guanshi also wanted to challenge Hong Yuejiao's position as the manager, but he didn't want to be regarded as an incompetent idiot by the workshop owner.

Therefore, in the director's room of the Tianzihao Workshop, Liu Shen emphasized again: "Everyone, the province and the government have heavy tasks after the palace orders. We can't start with such a heavy task in the first year. Something went wrong...then we, De Ling Xiangfang, still use it to gain a foothold in Xijiang Province?"

"Guan Liu, it's useless for you to force us with words."

Xiang Murong is not so easy to fool, he said with a straight face: "Let's put it this way, there are less than twenty aromatherapy prescriptions that we often mix in our workshop. We will come up with three new ones at once. ...Can we just improve from the old recipe?"

To improve from the old recipe is a pleasant way to say it, but it is actually asking "can you put new wine in the old bottle, change the soup without changing the medicine, and fool the higher authorities"...

"I'm afraid it won't work this time."

Liu Shen was also very sad, he didn't want to force his subordinates like this.Everyone is an expert, who doesn't know how difficult it is?
"Fortunately, our Deling has a distillation method."

Liu Shen couldn't just be coercive, he softened his tone, and said softly: "Slightly improve the distilled incense recipe, and we should be able to make two new aromatherapy recipes...Let's think about something else and make enough. Three, okay?"

"...That's the only way to go." Several master masters exchanged eye contact with each other, and accepted Guanshi Liu's suggestion.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had eased a little, Guanshi Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"For another prescription, just look it up in ancient books."

Xiang Murong is also a practical person. Since the task cannot be shirked and the complaints have been sent, let's quickly think about how to solve this headache.

At that moment, the masters of Tianzihao Workshop began to assign tasks, each of them was responsible for checking which part of the ancient books, sorted out the available incense prescriptions, and then summarized them to Xiang Murong.

"Manpower is also a problem."

Another master complained to Liu Shen: "We have other work to do, we can't just focus on this one job, we need someone to help transcribe ancient books and fragrant prescriptions... Choose some writing from each workshop. If decent apprentices come to do chores for the few of us, at least for the past few days, we must use a lot of people."

"that's OK."

This is not difficult for Liu Shen, as long as he opens his mouth and other dignitaries in the workshop, everyone has to give him some face.

"Let me go to Tianzihao Workshop to transcribe Xiangfang?"

Gan Tiantian looked at Guanshi Shen in astonishment, he was going to be loaned out again?This time... nothing will happen, right?

I can't blame her for being a snake with a bow and a bow. It is true that once bitten by a snake, she is afraid of grass ropes for ten years.

Seeming to see what she was thinking, Shen Guanshi smiled and said: "Don't worry too much. It is for the government to explain, we Xia Xiang still have to hand over the new prescription... Tianzihao Workshop will send people to transcribe Check out recipes in ancient books, you can go and help them for a few days. It’s not bad to get acquainted with the masters of Tianzihao. These people can almost become perfumers in the future.”

Is this an opportunity to expand your network by yourself?Brother cheap, you are such a good person.

Gan Tiantian is still very interested in "visiting and studying" the most mysterious Tianzihao workshop in Deling Xiangfang.Although she has to work... but transcribing ancient books, a job with little technical content, is not a problem for a semi-skilled worker like her!
"Hey, sister Yun, are you here too?"

The next day in the courtyard of Tianzihao Workshop, Gan Tiantian recognized Wang Yun's figure in the crowd, and hurriedly greeted him happily.Who made her a newcomer and hardly knew anyone, so of course she was happy to see familiar people.

Wang Yun smiled and said, "That's right, Qinqin and I were sent here in our Huangzihao...Qinqin!"

"Qinqin is here too?" Gan Tiantian was looking around, when he saw Qinqin coming, the three of them laughed together.

"Quiet!"

On the steps, a certain steward with a serious face reprimanded these apprentices dispatched from various workshops loudly, and then assigned them tasks.

"Yeah, it's great that the three of us got together."

"Follow Master Xiang... He is so powerful. I heard from the masters in our workshop that he even made a splash at the provincial capital's Fragrance Fighting Fair."

"Really?"

Gan Tiantian just remembered that some of the perfumers of Deling Fragrance Workshop...should have been to the Yujiang Fragrance Club this spring, right?
I wonder if they will recognize themselves?But apparently Director Hong didn't know anything about him. It seemed that even though he caused a little disturbance at that time, he was still far from being famous...

She was thinking about the past few months, and she was absent-mindedly chatting with the female companion beside her, when she was suddenly stopped.

"That little girl, come here."

Uh?
There are a lot of little girls here, but...Gan Tiantian has a feeling that the other party seems to be greeting him?

She raised her head in a daze, and saw not far ahead, a young man in a brown robe and a kerchief with hair tied up, beckoning to herself.

"Yeah, that's Master Xiang...does he recognize you?"

Wang Yun said in surprise in Gan Tiantian's ear.

"I do not know."

Gan Tiantian hurried forward a few steps and saluted the legendary master chef of Tianzihao.

"It's really you!"

There was some surprise in Xiang Murong's voice: "Have you come to our incense shop?"

"Mu Rong, which family's child is this?" A master passing by asked casually.

"Hehe, I don't know either, but this kid..."

"Good qualifications."
