My food has become an interstellar intangible cultural heritage

Soon came the agreed incense making time.

Si Xing opened the quiet room and cleaned it early in the morning, waiting for someone to come.

I have seen Shan Hai as an old acquaintance, but this is the first time I have seen Feng Shan. He looks like the same type of person as Xie Xun. He is the oldest of the three in suits. He looks more square.

Si Xing still issued a Hanfu by himself.

These are all made to order by him, and will be given to fans who come after the incense is made.

What I'm going to do today is Tianxiang, because the fans don't have any foundation, so Si Xing will tell them slowly from the selection of ingredients.

The head is sandalwood.

The sandalwood tree has been called the "golden tree" since ancient times. It can be used not only as a traditional Chinese medicine, but also for making incense and carvings. The whole body is full of treasures.

Its main planting place is in India, and Buddhism also originated in India, so the two have always been closely related.

"Da Tang Western Regions" said: "The first Tathagata has become enlightened, ascended to the heavenly palace to speak for the mother, and will not return it in three months. His king Simmu, wishing to draw an image. So the venerable Mei Tejia Luozi was asked to take the workers to the heavenly palace with supernatural powers. , personally observe the wonderful appearance, and carve the sandalwood."

Zhantan is sandalwood. According to legend, this is the first Buddha statue in the world.

In the later period, the incense sticks burned in temples were all sandalwood, and most Buddhist temples were also called "Sandalwood", and monks called pilgrims "Tanyue".

Si Xing chooses "Old Mountain Sandalwood", which is white and yellowish in color, relatively oily, and has a long-lasting fragrance.

Sandalwood is mainly grown in India, Guangdong, Taiwan and other places, all of which are relatively hot climates. Therefore, sandalwood itself is relatively "dry", and it needs to be mixed with tea to reduce the dryness before it can be used. to make incense.

At first, the sandalwood had to be sawn into a small half-centimeter strip as long as a knuckle, a bit like the snack that Si Xing used to eat, called "Mimi".

After that, soak the sandalwood with the tea that has been brewed twice, seal it for three days, and then dry it in the shade until the sandalwood is completely dry. This is the first step.

After it is completely dry, it has to be soaked in wine and honey, and it is also sealed for three days and then dried in the shade. This is the second step.

The last step is to stir-fry for 5 minutes, 20 minutes, and 10 minutes in turn on high, medium, and high heat. When the purple gas is emitted from the pan, the sandalwood can be added to the production.

【...Good guy, it's been six days with only the sandalwood. 】

[I said why did Teacher Si rest for several days!I thought he was in a relationship, but I misunderstood QAQ. 】

[All of you here are only Brother Shanhai who is single, so let me accept him reluctantly!dog head.jpg]

[Don't look at Brother Shanhai's incomprehension, he is also a rich second generation, okay? 】

[Ms. Si's daily list is even better than other people's super list... I saw a fairly good anchor last time, and the number one on the super list was only tens of thousands. 】

Si Xing moved the utensils out.

After drying, the sandalwood is crushed into powder with a stone mill.

Si Xing distributed the sandalwood branches to them, each with a stone grinder: "When grinding the spices, you must be slow, the powder cannot be splashed, and you should block it with your hands when grinding, and the movement must be slow."

He demonstrated it first, moving slowly and rhythmically.

【This movement is similar to the Taijiquan that Daoist Shen sent out before. 】

[Ah, ah, Mr. Si is so kind. Kang woo woo woo. 】

【I'm going to die from laughing at Brother Shanhai. 】

The audience was so attracted by Si Xing that they didn't even pay attention to what Zeng Jian Shanhai was doing until someone reminded them to watch.

In the end, I saw Zeng Jian Shanhai crunching the sandalwood branches with a stone grinder.

Si Xing: "..."

He just said slowly about feelings, Shan Hai didn't pay attention at all.

He turned to look at the other two.

Feng Shan sat upright, looking at the sandalwood in his hand as cautiously as if he was facing a biochemical weapon.

Xie Xun was not so restrained, he rubbed his incense every now and then, looking at Si Xing from time to time, like a vixen who seduces scholars.

Scholar Si Xing: "..."

Is this what life is all about? !

The second is agarwood.

Agarwood is the most expensive incense among all the ingredients. There is a saying that ten agarwoods are fake, which means that out of ten agarwood, nine are fake. Because of its high price, there are many fakes.

The real agarwood is a substance that condenses from the resin secreted by the tree when it is traumatized.

Si Xing cut a piece of agarwood and showed it to the audience: "The real agarwood has a high density, and it can sink underwater when put in water. Friends who are interested can try it when they buy it."

He threw the small piece of agarwood into the water, and it sank.

"That's why agarwood is also called agarwood."

The best quality agarwood takes decades or hundreds of years to form, just like a clam pearl, it is something that heals after going through pain.

In ancient times, there was a saying of agarwood, sandalwood, ambergris, and musk, among which agarwood is the head of all fragrances.

[So did Teacher Si throw money into the water? ? 】

【-twenty four】

[As long as I have some money, I won't be so greedy now. 】

[So, Mr. Si, besides throwing it into the water, is there any other way to identify it? If this thing is real, if I throw it into the water, then I will feel so bad. 】

Si Xing said: "Water sinking is the least reliable way to identify, the most important thing is to smell."

He motioned Zeng Jian Shanhai to put the agarwood in front of his nose: "Don't inhale, see how it feels?"

Zeng Jian Shanhai did as he did, but he obviously didn't inhale, but a faint fragrance still got into his nose.

Si Xing took another plastic bag and put the agarwood in it, and still put it in the water, and asked the audience: "Do you smell it?"

[I really want to tell Teacher Si if I can't hear it. 】

[I smell it, I smell it, it smells so good! 】

[Understood, it turns out that the smell of those fake aloes cannot be smelled through the bag and water. 】

Si Xing also said: "There is a poem by Nalan Xingde, it is clearly like agarwood strands, and it is difficult to paint a piece of sadness. The aroma of real agarwood is strand by strand, including the rest of the spices. Plumes of smoke, not puffs."

He lit a little sandalwood and an ordinary mosquito-repellent incense, the smoke from the mosquito-repellent incense was scattered, while a trace of condensed sandalwood floated upwards.

"Normal agarwood doesn't need to be treated for six days like sandalwood. It can be used directly after washing and drying." It is still crushed into powder.

Before the incense making, all the spices are ground into powder and placed in separate plates for distinction.

Si Xing also said: "All the spices are traditional Chinese medicines, which are recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Most of the medicines have the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, and they also have other effects. This is why smelling the fragrance can lift people's spirits. , the reason for the comfort of the whole body."

Si Xing showed them the "Compendium of Materia Medica" at hand: "So when making incense, you should also pay attention to checking whether the two spices are not compatible."

The more expensive spice in the sweet cake is musk musk.

In the past, musk was taken from the sachets of forest musk deer and others. One musk deer can take about 100 grams of musk in turn, and its price per gram is more expensive than gold.

At first, it was used as medicine, and some people would hunt wild musk deer on purpose. Later, due to shortage of resources, the country forbids hunting musk deer, and turned to extracting from artificially raised musk deer.

Artificial breeding is more convenient, and it can be taken directly from the musk deer. Before, all the sachets were cut off, which caused great harm to the animals.

Si Xing said: "When some musk deer are seriously injured or dying, they will take the initiative to bite their own sachets."

[? ? ? ?Bite your own reproductive organs? ?so scary? ? 】

[Fucking phantom limb hurts...]

Si Xing coughed: "No, the sachet is not a genital organ! Although it is only found in male musk deer, it grows in front of the genital organ, and it bites its own sachet for first aid. Musk has the effect of awakening the mind, reducing swelling and relieving pain, understand?"

[How did Mr. Si talk about reproduction, reproduction, and organs in front of tens of millions of people without expression? 233333]

[Isn't it just a reproductive organ!Our teacher Si still dares to read the little reed book in public! 】

[Teacher Si's reputation was ruined by you!snort! 】

Si Xing didn't look at the audience's teasing, but concentrated on staring at the ground powder in front of him.

All the ground powders were sifted by him for the second time, in order to make the finished powder more delicate, and all the spices were put into the incense pounder.

Si Xing picked up the steamed honey from the silver pick next to him: "All the incense making process can only add water once, and it must be in an appropriate amount. If there is too much incense powder, it will be thin, and if there is too little incense powder, it will not stick together. In the process of making it, it is necessary to repeatedly press it with a fragrant spoon to strengthen the density of the fragrant mud."

He turned his head to look at Zeng Jian Shan Hai.

He just poured half a glass of water into it.

Then all the powders stuck to the plate stickyly.

Zeng Jian Shanhai thought that no one had seen it, so he secretly added a little fragrance powder into it.

Si Xing: "..."

Audience: "Hahahahahaha."

【Damn it, my heart hurts when I see it, it feels like I'm wasting my own money. 】

[Don't panic... Brother Shanhai is here to give us negative teaching materials. 】

Si Xing gently pressed the prepared clay pot into a cake shape.

The mold itself has a shape, and when pressed down, it carves the shape of a monkey.

[Hahahahaha Teacher Si's bad taste! ! ! 】

[Laughing, I thought it was a serious fragrance, but Mr. Si is not serious at all. Whose incense is in the shape of a monkey? ! 】

[Tell a ghost story, Mr. Xie is a monkey. 】

【…】

[The clown is actually myself. 】

[There is no one who shows affection. 】

Si Xing prepared a lot of molds and let them choose them by themselves.

As a result, Fengshan made a mountain-shaped one, while Xie Xun made a heart-shaped one.

Everyone subconsciously went to see the mountains and seas.

exempt.

The entrance is in the shape of an ugly stickman.

Once saw Shan Hai was very proud: "I didn't expect it, this is me, handsome or not?"

[...Save the child. 】

[I'm cracked, can Brother Shanhai's aesthetics be saved? 】

[It's hopeless, let's bury it. 】

The finished pancakes are ready to be lit.

Si Xing was silent for a while: "Shall Shan Hai order yours first?"

He was afraid that the contrast would be too strong, he would cry when he saw mountains and seas.
