The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 170 This Kid Has Good Aptitude

This kid has good qualifications.

When Xiang Mu Rong said these words, he immediately attracted the attention of many people around him.

"Wow, Master Xiang is complimenting you."

Wang Yun and Qinqin said enviously: "We have been here for several years, and it is rare to hear who Master Xiang would praise, let alone our apprentices..."

"Could it be that he knows your family members?" Qinqin made a wrong judgment based on common sense.

But Gan Tiantian knew that Xiang Murong was not because his "family" recognized him, but...

"Your surname is Gan, right?"

really.

After receiving a positive response from Gan Tiantian, Xiang Murong smiled.

"During the Yujiang incense meeting, I told them that we have such a smart girl in Deling, and it should have been sent to the Deling incense workshop. It's okay! You're here."

This is a very high evaluation.

Everyone looked sideways, who is this little girl?I don't think I've seen it before, new apprentice?

And Wang Yun and Qinqin, who were a little familiar with Gan Tiantian, looked at her blankly as if they had never known Gan Tiantian before, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Gan Tiantian said a few words of modesty symbolically, knowing that Xiang Murong must have been present at the Yujiang incense meeting that day.

She hadn't misunderstood, Xiang Murong was indeed present that day, and she also witnessed the process of her smelling the incense and defending the defense, so she had a good impression of her, a little girl from Deling County.

Moreover, at that time, Xiang Murong was the only one present in the De Ling Xiangfang. The owner of the workshop, Deng Cangyun, was bedridden at home because of illness, and never went to the provincial capital.

As Deng Cangyun's deputy, Hong Yuejiao, Manager Hong, was also busy with the affairs of the workshop, and he was not very enthusiastic about the Douxiang Association, so he also did not participate.Among the other stewards, Liu Shen and several other stewards went to and fro, but they were not in the Douxiang venue, but were busy with other purchases and shipments.

Only Xiang Murong attended as a representative of Deling Incense Workshop, and secondly, his enthusiasm for blending and fighting incense was much higher than that of other people in Deling Incense Workshop, so he actively participated.

There were several bright spots in that Douxiang meeting.The bamboo beauty Lan Yingwei rose to fame, and the eldest lady of the Ji family heard the fragrance and defended Fang, an unknown yellow-haired girl from the "countryside", but because she recognized a blind "bamboo heart", she took away the limelight of the former two.

But although this girl caught a glimpse, because her master's inheritance and family background were too unclear, even though she was talked about for several days, she didn't hear any more afterward.As for her name, except for some people who were present that day remembered it a little bit, the others didn't really have a big impression...

In the Xiangyao business, the competition is brutal.One or two small successes may bring people a short-term glory, but without good fragrances, they still cannot gain a firm foothold in this industry.Otherwise, why did the Ji family go to great pains to find the prescription of "Zhuxiang" for Lan Yingwei, and also spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to act as a babysitter for her, making her famous?
However, Gan Tiantian's success that time still brought her benefits, such as the awe of everyone in Yujinfang, the attention of Lin Qingyang, the owner of Yujiang Xiangfang, the identity certificates of official family members, and... the admiration to the master .

In the whispered discussion between Wang Yun and Qinqin, Gan Tiantian followed Xiang Murong into his own small board room.Every steward and master has his own director's room. Of course, there are many masters with lower status, so there are several people in one room.It is not surprising that Xiang Murong, as the head master of Tianzihao, monopolizes a director's room to work.

"Well, this is the ancient book you are going to check today..."

Xiang Murong pointed to the hill-like pile of ancient books on the table, with a helpless smile: "I said, you should write down all the contents, and you must copy them down for me to screen..."

He said several key medicine names and prescriptions, and the three of them bowed their heads and wrote quickly, and followed silently in their hearts.

"... Remember everything?"

"Yes, Master Xiang."

The three responded in unison.Xiang Murong looked at Gan Tiantian again, wanted to say something, but waved his hand again: "Forget it, I'll ask you later when I have time, I'm going to do something else now... You copy it first." , go to dinner by myself, and I will come back to check in the evening."

"Yes, Master Xiang."

The girls' responses were still docile and obedient, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous towards this master who had a very high status in the workshop.

As soon as Xiang Murong went out, Wang Yun and Qinqin wanted to come to find Gan Tiantian to gossip.Gan Tiantian stopped the two sisters with a wry smile: "Sisters, today is a heavy task, let's finish the work first and then chat, okay?"

"……All right."

They are not ignorant people, and immediately occupy a corner of the desk, each carrying a pile of ancient books to look through.

Today the weather is sunny and warm, and the sun shines through the window lattice, making the room warm and cozy.The ancient book itself has a faint musty and dusty smell, but it's not unpleasant.In the sun, the dust can't stop dancing, like countless elves lingering around them.

The room was very quiet, only the sound of brushes being copied on paper.

"Look slowly. Some of these ancient books can't be seen elsewhere. There are indeed quite a lot of books in De Ling Xiang Fang."

Ji Bingyun reminded suddenly.

Gan Tiantian nodded secretly, and while transcribing the aromatherapy prescriptions according to the content requested by the master, he silently recited the important content in these ancient books in his heart, and Ji Bingyun would remind her where to focus from time to time.

Most of these are ancient books on aromatherapy.What Gan Tiantian copied in the past were all the most basic incense prescriptions and pharmacopoeias. The foundation is there, but the knowledge is still superficial.It is also a good experience to have this opportunity to read more ancient books and broaden your horizons.

"Aromatherapy... really has a long history."

Judging from ancient books, aromatherapy existed as early as the Warring States Period. Whether it is "Huang Di Nei Jing" or "Su Wen", there are records of aromatherapy.

For example, there is an example in "Su Wen" that "Northern people like to eat milk, and their viscera and cold are full of diseases. The treatment is suitable for moxibustion", and it is also said to use fire therapy and wormwood.There are also prescriptions for treating overeating... Uh, the literal expression is very elegant. It is a disease caused by "sweet food and fat". stomachache.

In the Han Dynasty, it was more common for courts to use incense and bath fragrance. Legend has it that Zhao Feiyan, who was crowned in the harem, loved to use Wuyun Qixiang soup to bathe and purify her body. "Taiping Yulan" also records this aspect.

As one of the earliest pharmacopoeias in the field of fragrant medicine, "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", there are 360 ​​five kinds of medicines, including musk, woody, osmanthus, angelica, orchid, Qinjiao, Duruo and other fragrant medicines. For example, it is pointed out that musk can "dispel evil spirits" and "eliminate evil spirits", and Angelica dahurica "grows skin, moisturizes color, and can be used as facial fat"...

For the first time, in "Serving Reserve Emergency Prescriptions", there are aromatherapy prescriptions such as fragrance body, balm, hair-coating fragrance and lavender fragrance, as well as prevention and treatment prescriptions for body odor, tooth decay and other diseases.
