Yu Hongdou hesitated for a moment. Actually, 3 points was not a lot for her, but with the incident of Zhixiang Sect in the past, Yu Hongdou was somewhat taboo about the art of incense, or even felt disgusted.

However, this hesitation only lasted for a moment. Even if he couldn't use it, seeing such a powerful skill dangling in front of him, Yu Hongdou couldn't help but want to use it.

It’s always good to have many skills, what if they come in handy someday?

Moreover, Yu Hongdou felt that there might be incense recipes left by the Zhixiang Sect in the future, and then she could compare the differences between the incense made by the Hua family and the Chen family.

Yu Hongdou approached Chen Xiangzhuan and was about to start a conversation and take the opportunity to touch his back, but as soon as she got up to him, she heard a scolding.

"What Lady Hua? She is a thief who deceives the world and steals the name. She stole my Chen's perfume book and made up a story to claim it as hers. Bah!"

The person who spoke was a little boy who was squatting behind Chen Xiangzhuan. He looked to be about three or four years older than Yu Hongdou. He was so small that if he hadn't stood up suddenly, Yu Hongdou wouldn't have known there was someone hiding there.

What made Yu Hongdou even more surprised and speechless was that as the little boy appeared, the faint green light also moved, and the positioning icon with a round head and a pointed tail also poked on the little boy's forehead.

It turns out that this is Chen Xiangzhuan, the true successor of the Chen family's incense book.

"Xiangzhuan! Children's nonsense should not be taken seriously. I hope you don't mind." The adult in front of Chen Xiangzhuan stopped the child, stood up and bowed to apologize to the people around him who were scolded by the child.

"Hey~ Old Chen, why are you talking about children? Your Chen family has been making incense for hundreds of years and is not reluctant to pass it on. I wonder how many people have taken the incense recipes and randomly modified and named them~" This was the man selling sachets standing next to the two children of the Chen family.

"You are bragging! If you are really that powerful, why haven't you heard of the Chen family's reputation? When Lady Hua made incense to drive away the plague, why didn't the Chen family stand up?"

This was one of the people who had just been scolded by the little boy. It was he who pointed at the Chen family's stall and boasted to others about how great Lady Hua was at making incense.

"My brother, you may not have heard of the reputation of Chen's incense because you are ignorant. You probably heard about the saying that Lady Hua made incense to drive away plague and epidemics from operas."

"In fact, the Chen family donated a lot of incense recipes for repelling insects and avoiding epidemics, and Xinglonghao, which mainly produces Zen incense, donated a lot of spices. This saved the six cities in Zhongzhou, where the epidemic was most serious at the time, from a disaster."

Just when Yu Hongdou was feeling the other party's arrogant attitude and wanted to refute, Yu Song behind her suddenly spoke up and with just a few words left the other party speechless.

Yu Hongdou immediately turned around and looked at her brother with admiration.

"These are all recorded in the court reports of the previous dynasty. At that time, the emperor commended Chen's public and private contributions with his imperial handwriting, and awarded the plaque of Xinglonghao Endeshantang, which is now hung in the inner hall of Xinglonghao in Ji County."

Yu Song gave his sister a smug look and continued talking, then beat the other person to death.

Yu Hongdou bared her eight little teeth, looked at the other party's unwilling expression, and added with a smile: "My teacher gave me a recipe before, and I just wanted to let Uncle Chen taste it. Why don't we all take a look at it together?"

As she spoke, she reached into her sleeve with her little hand. This action made Yu Song raise his eyebrow. He wished he could jump in front of his sister to block her. Unexpectedly, this time Yu Hongdou was very reliable and just took out a piece of paper.

The paper was old and yellowed, and it was obvious that it was quite old, but it was well preserved. Yu Hongdou unfolded the paper, handed it to Chen Xiangzhuan with both hands, and asked loudly:

"I saw on this incense recipe that it originated from Chen's Incense Book and was improved by Hua Zhaozhao. I am a very curious person, so I want to know what this incense was called before Hua Zhaozhao improved it."

After hearing this, everyone immediately surrounded Chen Xiangzhuan, craning their necks to look at the yellowed paper.

Those who were literate read out the contents of the paper:

【Kalan incense: a blended incense, originated from Chen's incense recipe and improved by Hua's Zhaozhao. 】

[Grind agarwood, quick incense, coptis root, and sweet pine into fine foam, mix with frankincense oil and nanmu powder, and add half a liang each of clove bark, wisteria, and silver dan grass.]

Old Chen also held the paper and looked at it carefully. When he saw the four words "Chen's Incense Book", his hands trembled. After reading the entire incense recipe, the only two words that came to his mind were "nonsense".

"Nonsense!" The one who spoke was the little boy Chen Xiangzhuan. He couldn't reach it to see, but he jumped up in anger just by listening to the man reading.

"What is Jialanxiang? This is clearly the recipe for Youlanxiang, except that the amount of lilac bark and purple wisteria is reduced by half an ounce and silver dan grass is added!" Chen Xiangzhuan was so angry that his shrill voice was shaking.

"Incense seal! Even if one note is changed, it is still a change. Besides, it is marked as coming from my Chen family incense book, which means that the other party has not deceived me."

Although Lao Chen's words seem to agree with the incense recipe, in fact they also highlight the four words "Chen's Incense Book".

Chen Xiangzhuan was a little unconvinced and muttered quietly, "He just took shortcuts and mixed some messy things into the good incense, changing the taste."

"Little brother, it's wrong for you to say that. This silver dan grass can refresh the brain and invigorate the mind. It is very useful for students." Yu Hongdou felt that this boy was a bit too absolute.

"I'm not saying these materials are bad. Every scent of Chen's products is a very pure and single scent."

"If you want to refresh your mind, there is a refreshing incense for reading. It contains not only silver dan grass, but also borneol musk. It can open up the mind and refresh the mind, and it can also cure fever and coma."

"If they are mixed together, it will only make the fragrance become a mess. Not to mention the aroma is confusing, it will stimulate the sense of smell and spirit, and the medicinal properties will also change."

"If it doesn't work, that's fine, but if it has the opposite effect or causes other symptoms, that's a problem."

“If adding and subtracting really makes it a new recipe, then the art of incense cannot be called the art of incense, it can only be called aromatherapy.”

Although Chen Xiangzhuan was small in stature, he had a lot of ideas to say and they were all logical. Not to mention Yu Hongdou, everyone else couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Yu Hongdou couldn't help but applaud and praise this descendant of the Chen family.

"In fact, Hua is not completely useless. She is good at flower aromatherapy. She uses flowers to make essential oils and floral waters, which can soothe the body and calm the emotions, and even relieve pain. I don't understand why she doesn't insist on it, but instead takes a side path."

Chen Xiangzhuan obviously had a thorough understanding of the grudge between his ancestors and Lady Hua. Seeing that Yu Hongdou agreed with him so much, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed and unconsciously changed the subject.

"Oh? Brother, I love the smell of flowers the most. Why don't you tell me more about it~"

Yu Hongdou came close to Chen Xiangzhuan and looked at the little boy with her big, sparkling eyes, as if she saw a hill shining with golden light.
