All Hail Cousin Brother

Listen to her talk about what difficulties she encountered in the process of making the fragrance brand, and how were they solved in the end?

The compatibility of some medicinal materials pays great attention to the five elements and yin and yang. It is necessary to understand the properties of each medicinal material, spice and ore before compatibility can be carried out.

The preparation of some medicinal materials also involves Feng Shui miscellaneous knowledge...

She spoke with gusto, which was a new understanding and field of study in incense making.

But Yin Huaixi heard the difficulties and difficulties involved.

Rubbing the incense card in his hand, the tip of his heart could not stop trembling.

After a while, Yu Youyao's mouth became dry and her tongue became irritated. After she realized what she was doing, she realized that she had said a lot of words in a long and drawn-out manner, and her ears could not help but feel warm.

Yin Huaixi handed her a glass of warm water.

Yu Youyao quickly took it and drank the water with a slightly concealed bow.

At this time, Yin Huaixi suddenly asked: "Why is it named Lan Qingxiang? Is it because of the fragrance brand, the fragrance is like orchid?"

It was obvious that he had just listened carefully.

Yu Youyao smiled and rolled her eyes: "The original prescription was called Huichun Pills, but the fragrant medicine I made was very different from the original one, so I changed the name again. The main medicine of Lan Qingxiang is Dendrobium officinale, which is made into The brand of incense has a fragrance like orchid, and it is also purple, so I changed it to orchid fragrance."

Dendrobium officinale is precious and rare, and some wealthy families may not have it.

But Yu Youyao only has five such precious Dendrobium candidum plants in his hands.

When she was treating Song Mingzhao, the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion gave her a lot of rare medicinal herbs, including one. At that time, she felt like she had found a treasure and showed it off to her "cousin". However, within a few days, her "cousin" gave her one as a gift. , the quality is better.

After her grandmother passed away, she became seriously ill from overwork. Aunt Shen was ordered to bring a reward from the Queen Mother to see her, including a Dendrobium officinale plant.

The Queen had rewarded her greatly earlier, and also gave her a plant.

Yin Huaixi also sighed: "Only you can do this orchid fragrance, no one else can do it."

The nine immortal grasses alone are not something that ordinary people can gather together.

This is also due to the fact that Yu Youyao is good at fragrant medicine. The rewards in the palace always include many precious spices and medicinal materials, such as dendrobium and Tianshan snow lotus. Although there are not many in the palace, there are often not many places where they are really needed. , noble people occasionally give them to them in order to win people's hearts.

However, not everyone is qualified to reward these precious medicinal materials.

Yu Youyao was convinced: "By the way, the prescription requires amethyst jade coral. Earlier, Zhen Guohou Mansion, fortunately, gave me an amethyst jade coral, otherwise Lan Qingxiang wouldn't be able to make it."

The reason why the prescription for prolonging life has become a legend is that there are few skilled Taoist doctors in this world. Almost all of the nine immortal herbs needed are in the palace, and the amethyst jade coral is the only one that has been praised by the whole country. The Hou Mansion put it aside and finally used it to return the favor and gain her advantage.

Fragrant medicine is not only made of spices and medicinal materials, but also uses minerals.

At the mention of Zhenguo Hou Mansion, Yin Huaixi frowned slightly: "No wonder the incense brand is purple, the color is so pure."

Yu Youyao said: "Take out only one of the nine immortal grasses, which is a life-saving medicine. Combine nine into one, and the resulting orchid fragrance does not have the legendary magical effect, but it has been verified by Uncle Sun that wearing it for a long time does have the effect of nourishing the body." The three elements of human body’s essence, spirit and qi achieve the effect of prolonging life.”

As soon as the incense brand was made, it already had a jade quality. It was completely different from the incense she had made before. It was the best incense she had made so far.

She was quite satisfied.

But Uncle Sun didn't take it seriously and said bluntly: "You are wasting your natural resources. If you give me any of these nine immortal grasses, I can pull people back from the hell gate."

Yin Huaixi suddenly took the hand that Xiao had thought about for a long time and wrapped it in his palm. The soft and boneless little hand seemed like a ball of grease melting into his palm, making his heart tremble slightly.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when the sound reached his lips, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

He stared deeply at her beautiful face, his throat felt dry: "Thank you for your hard work."

She just downplayed it, but Yin Huaixi could tell that she had put a lot of effort and thought into this incense brand.

The production of incense tablets is similar to that of incense pills.

After the spices and medicinal materials are processed, they are mixed and made into fragrant mud. They are beaten repeatedly until the texture of the fragrant mud is more delicate and stronger than dough. Then they are made into fragrant brands and placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

After drying in the shade, the incense brand is not considered a success. It must be placed in a sealed earthen jar and buried in a cellar where the wind and water are stored.

After spices and medicinal materials are fermented in a sealed environment, both their fragrance and efficacy will evaporate to the extreme.

Easier said than done.

Each medicinal material has its own unique processing method. Sometimes the same medicinal material requires dozens of processing steps to maximize its efficacy.

Some medicinal materials take a long time to process and may take several days or even ten days to complete.

Moreover, Yu Youyao did not know Taoist medicine or Feng Shui before.

I always wanted to ask Aunt Xu and Uncle Sun for advice.

She said that the preparation of the incense brand started in February, but he didn't believe it. It would take two or three months to prepare more than 200 kinds of medicinal materials.

"Yeah, it's not too hard." Yu Youyao shook her head and quickly changed the subject: "You are a military commander. You usually ride a horse and shoot with a bow, so you are not suitable for wearing jade. The fragrant badge is light and not easy to be damaged. It is best to wear it close to the body. It is safe and secure. The Shipai has a good meaning, and wearing one close to your body can also bring peace of mind.”

The beautiful jade and stones she gave to Yin Huaixi were always worn by Yin Huaixi in the past, but since returning to the north, those things have gradually been hidden in the back of the car, and will only be taken out for cleaning and waxing when he has free time. , take care of it, it's not that you don't want to wear it, it's just that military commanders often use force to avoid damage.

Yin Huaixi was a military general, so she always felt uneasy if she didn't wear something to keep her safe. She had planned early in the morning to make a scented tablet for him that could nourish his spirit, spirit, and energy.

Such spices and medicinal materials are usually relatively expensive and rare. She was collecting and preparing them when she was in Quanzhou.

Yin Huaixi put the incense card in her tender palm: "Can you help me put it on?"

Yu Youyao nodded gently: "Okay!"

She stood up, walked behind Yin Huaixi, and put the incense card around his neck. She originally wanted to tie a "ceremony" knot, but her fingers were out of control, so she tied a concentric knot.

After tying the knot, she tightened the string. When she felt that the length of the incense card was suitable, she asked him: "Is this okay? If it is longer, it may not be so compliant. If it is shorter, it will be exposed and not good-looking."

Yin Huaixi lowered his head, and the incense card landed impartially in the middle of his heart: "This is good."
