All Hail Cousin Brother - Chapter 967

Listening to her ramble, what difficulties did you encounter in the process of making the incense sticks, and how did you solve them in the end?

The compatibility of some medicinal materials is very particular about the five elements, yin and yang, and it is necessary to understand the properties of each medicinal material, spice and ore before compatibility.

The processing of some medicinal materials also involves Feng Shui miscellaneous…

She said it with relish, because she had a new understanding and learning field in incense making.

But Yin Huaixi heard the difficulty and difficulty of stumbling and stumbling.

Rubbing the incense stick in his hand, the apex of his heart couldn’t stop trembling.

After a while, Yu Youyao’s mouth became dry and tongue-tied. After reacting, she realized that she had said a lot of words, and her ears couldn’t help but feel a little hot.

Yin Huaixi handed her a glass of warm water.

Yu Youyao hurriedly took it, and lowered her head to drink water with a little concealment.

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

Obviously, he just listened carefully.

Yu Youyao smiled and rolled her eyes: “The original prescription was called Huichun Pills, but the fragrance I made was very different from the original, so I changed the name again. The fragrance of the brand is like orchid, and it is also purple, so I directly changed the fragrance of orchid.”

Dendrobium candidum is precious and rare, and some families with profound heritage may not have it.

But such a precious Dendrobium candidum, Yu Youyao had as many as five in his hands.

During the treatment of Song Mingzhao that year, the Marquis of Zhenguo sent a lot of rare medicinal materials, one of which was one of them. At that time, she even showed off to her “cousin” if she was a treasure, but within a few days, “cousin” gave her one. , the quality is better.

After the death of her grandmother, she was seriously ill from overwork, and Aunt Shen was ordered to come to see her with gifts from the empress dowager, including a Dendrobium candidum.

Earlier, the queen concubine rewarded her, and she also rewarded a plant.

Yin Huaixi also sighed: “This Lan Qingxiang, only you can do it, and no one else can do it.”

Just the nine immortal grasses are not something ordinary people can gather together.

This is also due to Yu Youyao’s good at incense and medicine, and there are always many precious spices and medicinal materials in the palace, such as dendrobium and Tianshan snow lotus. Although there are not many in the palace, there are often not many places that really need to be used. , In order to win people’s hearts, the nobles will occasionally give them.

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

Yu Youyao took it seriously: “By the way, in the prescription, you need to use amethyst jade coral blindly. Earlier in the town of Guohou Mansion, fortunately, you sent me an amethyst jade coral, otherwise Lan Qingxiang wouldn’t be able to make it.”

The reason why the medicine for prolonging longevity has become a legend is that, except in this world, there is one of the rare channel doctors. Almost all of the nine immortal herbs used are in the palace. The Hou Mansion put it on the shelf, and finally used it to repay the favor, which was cheap for her.

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

Mentioning the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, Yin Huaixi’s brows furrowed imperceptibly: “No wonder the incense card is purple, and the color is so pure.”

Yu Youyao said: “Nine immortal herbs, take out one of them alone, it is a good medicine for life, combining nine into one, the orchid fragrance made by it does not have the magical effect of legends, but it has been verified by Sun Bo, long-term wear, it is indeed nourishing. The three elements of essence, spirit and qi in the human body achieve the effect of prolonging life.”

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

She is quite satisfied.

However, Uncle Sun disagreed, and said bluntly: “You are a waste of nature. If you give me these nine immortal grasses, I will be able to pull people back from the gate of hell.”

Yin Huaixi suddenly held the hand that Xiao had been thinking about for a long time, wrapped in the palm of his hand, the soft and boneless hand, as if a mass of grease had melted into his palm, which made his heart tremble.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the voice came to his mouth, he suddenly didn’t know what to say.

His eyes were deep, staring at her fresh face, his throat was dry for a while: “It’s hard for you.”

She just understated it, but Yin Huaixi heard that she put a lot of effort and energy into this incense card.

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

After the spices and medicinal materials are processed, they are mixed together. After they are made into fragrant mud, they should be beaten repeatedly until the texture of the fragrant mud is more delicate and firm than that of the dough. Then they are made into incense cards and placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry in the shade.

The incense sticks after drying in the shade were not successful. They had to be placed in sealed earthen pots and buried in the cellar where the wind and water were stored.

After the spices and medicinal materials are fermented in a sealed environment, both the fragrance and the efficacy will be volatilized 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 concoct, and it takes several days, or even more than ten days, to complete the concoction.

Moreover, Yu Youyao did not know Taoism and Fengshui before.

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

She said that the preparation of the incense plate started in February, but he did not believe it. It would take two or three months to prepare more than 200 kinds of medicinal herbs.

“Also, it’s not too hard,” Yu Youyao shook his head and quickly changed the subject: “You are a military general, and you usually ride a bow and shoot, so you are not suitable for wearing jade. The card has a good meaning, and wearing one close to the body can also seek peace of mind.”

The beautiful jade and beautiful stones she gave to Yin Huaixi, Yin Huaixi used to always wear it with her, but since she returned to the north, those things have gradually fallen into the back of the room. , Maintenance once, not unwilling to wear, but the generals often move rough, so as not to damage.

Yin Huaixi was a military general, and she didn’t wear anything to keep her safe. She always felt uneasy in her heart. She planned early in the morning to give him an incense card with nourishing spirit, spirit and energy.

These kinds of spices and medicinal materials are usually expensive and rare. She was collecting and preparing them when she was in Quanzhou.

Yin Huaixi put the incense stick in her tender palm: “Would you help me put it on?”

Yu Youyao nodded lightly: “Okay!”

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

After tying the knot, she closed the rope and felt that the length of the incense stick was suitable, and asked him: “Is this okay? If it is longer, it may not be so obedient, and if it is shorter, it will not look good.”

Yin Huaixi bowed his head, the incense card was not biased, and fell in the middle of his heart: “That’s good.”
