Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 249
"L?"

Just after eating duck, I received a call from Xiaoya about a new project called Xiangdao Experience?
In the afternoon, we arrived at our destination, a high-end incense club. Looking at the dazzling array of various pieces of wood on the display cabinet, Sakura was dumbfounded and pointed at a label and said, "Is this piece of wood worth five thousand?"

"Are you blind?" Gou Tuanzi scolded, "It's five thousand per gram!"

Ding Xu laughed loudly. Since he was here, he would take one step and try what the legendary agarwood tastes like.Just choose the most expensive piece, Nha Trang Black Chinen, eight grams, [-]!
"Brother Xu has opened the door to a new world again today!"

"Have you heard that agarwood is expensive?"

"A piece of ordinary wood is afraid of five thousand per gram?"

When we arrived at the VIP room, it was very elegant. In front of us was a wooden chicken wing table with various incense utensils placed on it. It seemed to be a private room specially designed to entertain guests.

Soon after, a beautiful incense priest in a cheongsam entered the door. After sitting down, she stretched out her snow-white hand to pick up the towel on the table, and began to wipe the incense props one by one. She said politely, "My name is Ling, and I am honored to offer incense for you."

Take out the Qinan chosen by Ding Xu, put on the gloves, slowly hold it steady with your left hand, pick up the knife with your right hand, gently remove the size of the little thumbnail from the edge, and put it in the incense tasting plate.

Ding Xu looked at the inconspicuous little black piece of wood in front of him. A layman would have thought it was garbage. He could blow it away in one breath!

But in the eyes of Xiangdao players, this is a rare enjoyment.

Agarwood,

This is burning money alive!

Pick up the censer, which has already been filled with incense ash. Like the purple sand pot, both incense and tea ceremony pay attention to maintenance. One uses tea to raise the pot, and the other uses incense ashes to raise the stove.

A pair of jade hands moved the charcoal plate to the front, took the white porcelain charcoal can, opened the lid, and used fire chopsticks to pick out a piece of charcoal, three or four centimeters long, completely black, placed it on the charcoal mesh, and slowly lit it with a special igniter.

In fact, there are electronic aromatherapy stoves now, and everything can be done with one touch of a switch, even the temperature can be adjusted.But for real players, Xiangdao is not just enjoyment, but also a process of self-cultivation. Only by doing each step can you experience the fun.

All the charcoal is lit, and when it is completely burned, it is best to turn red without an open flame, then set it aside.Take out the celadon incense burner, pick up the chopsticks, and insert and pull them out again and again for 10 minutes.

Stir the incense ash with fire chopsticks to make it evenly fluffy and rich in air, so that sufficient oxygen can be ensured when the incense charcoal is inserted into it, the combustion process is sufficient, and the entire incense tasting is completed.

Until the incense ash is well stirred, gradually spread the incense ash, insert a hot chopstick into the middle, and shake slowly to make a charcoal hole in a clockwise direction.

Pick up the fragrant charcoal that has completely turned red, and stuff it into the newly opened charcoal hole little by little, and the charcoal is buried.

Start to comb the ash, comb the incense ash to the middle, cover the charcoal fire, and form a valley.Use the thickness of the incense ash to control the temperature of the charcoal fire, so as to release all the aroma of the incense material.

Put down the incense chopsticks, pick up the ash pressing shovel, hold the stove in your left hand, press the incense ash diagonally with your right hand, press it into a cone shape, and bury the incense charcoal completely in it.Then use a feather sweep to clean the furnace walls to keep the incense burner spotless.

Throughout the whole process, the expression is focused, the movements are smooth and flowing, and the rhythm is full. The mind calms down along with the process, and gradually forgets the troubles of the world.

Qianqiansu picked up the long ash incense stick, and with the top of the incense ash as the axis point, pressed out beautiful radial patterns clockwise, the so-called incense sticks.Regular patterns appear on the smooth incense ash, elegant and beautiful.

Take the incense needle and insert it vertically from the top of the incense ash. Use your hand to reach the position of the charcoal fire. Carefully feel the temperature of the charcoal fire. Determine the height. Pull out the incense needle, wipe it clean and put it back in place.

With the palm of the right hand facing down and the five fingers slightly bent, move forward from the right side of the censer, covering the censer, and measure the heat.

Feeling that the temperature is right, pick up the mica sheet, gently place it on the fire window, and press it slightly to make it stable.Pick up Qinan with a silver clip and carefully place it on the mica sheet.

Hold the upper edge of the celadon incense burner with the thumb of the left hand, hold the base of the incense burner with the four fingers, relax the shoulders, raise the shoulders, hold the burner in front of the nose, exhale lightly, inhale deeply, and savor the incense.

Ding Xu took the incense burner, brought it to his nose, took a deep breath, and a cool air came out spontaneously, as if he was in a primeval forest.

Close your eyes, the breeze is blowing, mixed with dew and the fragrance of plants and trees, it is refreshing, from the inside to the outside, it is extremely transparent.

At this time, it seems to be transformed into a feather, weightless, as the breeze shuttles between the jungles, the fragrance of the earth, the freshness of the grass, plus the fragrance of various flowers, mix together, among the mottled leaves, even the smell of sunshine is clear visible.

Suddenly I was carried by the wind to a medicinal field, and there was a light bitterness everywhere, refreshing and long-lasting, floating up to the center of my eyebrows, and my mind was clear.

After the bitterness is over, the inexplicable sweetness rushes to my heart, such as cantaloupe, which is sweet and delicious, rich and juicy, which makes people feel a sense of satisfaction and happiness.Bitterness before sweetness makes bitterness more memorable, and sweetness is especially worth cherishing.

The aroma changes again, the sweetness becomes more and more intense, and the air is condensed and smooth, as if surrounded by fine silk.

It's like being in a milk bath, every inch of the skin is surrounded by warmth, the tranquility deep in the heart is awakened, and a baby-like innocent smile appears on the face, as if returning to the mother's body, immersed in the kindness and warmth.

"My dear, Brother Xu can actually taste four different scents from a piece of agarwood?"

The beautiful incense master's eyes lit up, and she praised: "You have good taste, and you are talented in the way of incense."

"Hei Qinan is also called iron-knot agarwood. It is mostly hard silk, hard, and dark in color. There are also top-quality and top-notch products. The best black Qinan is rich and greasy, evenly secreted, full of oil, and has an excellent fragrance. It is not other The general category of agarwood is comparable."

"The first fragrance is full of coolness and domineering; the main fragrance is strong and has an elegant medicinal fragrance; the tail fragrance has a frankincense aroma, which is long-lasting and intriguing. After this piece of Qinan tail fragrance, it has a slightly milky fragrance, and it is a wood that changes four times. Top-grade fragrant materials.”

"Did you guys hear that?"

"Brother Xu is not pretending!"

"Qinanxiang has a black, moist and soft texture, is sticky and tough, has a high oil content, and has a sweet, rich and elegant aroma. It is rare and rare, and it is the best among fragrant woods."

"You can check the ancient books yourself. It has always been monopolized by the royal family, so it is called a royal treasure. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Qinanxiang was said to be worth a fortune."

"Is Brother Xu really burning money today?"
