The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 116 The scheming woman and acting
Dou Xiang will go on here, although there is a small climax caused by Lanmei, but the whole is still in the normal category, and nothing too special happens.

Hua Chang, a female perfumer sitting in the first row, gently covered the round fan in her hand to her lips, hiding a boring yawn.

Nothing interesting today, she thought silently in her heart.

Hua Chang has known Lan Yingwei, who caused the topic and is also a woman, a long time ago.We have met each other several times on different occasions.

Lan Yingwei is very good at dealing with affairs, and knows how to behave. She is always respectful to Huashang, saying "senior" one by one.Hua Chang didn't like this very much, with a calm face, but in his heart he sneered, "I'm not your mother-in-law".

Maybe there will always be subtle comparisons between women?It's not surprising that Hua Chang doesn't like Lan Yingwei, who is younger and more beautiful than herself.

But Huashang believes that it's not out of selfishness that she doesn't appreciate Lan Yingwei, but because she doesn't like this exaggerated style... Also, in her opinion, Lan Yingwei's fragrance mixing skills are average.

I don't know what fragrance she will offer today?I'm afraid it will be like her usual style, kitsch and gorgeous, but without skills and connotations... Second-class, maybe there are, but it may not be ranked in the top three...

Huashang turned his gaze to the open space in front of the hall.At this time, the No.2 perfumer had already burned up his small cake.

"Second class, next."

Huashang took a pen and wrote down the grade of his own judgment on the snow paper in front of him, and then wrote a few more comments.

This craftsman is called Xu Zongzhi?Seeing that his attitude is very serious, but he is too serious... The ambition is too big, such a small piece of fragrant cake, actually used too much musk and ambergris, he thought that the more expensive the ingredients, the better?It's not clean enough, it's pungent...

At this time, Ji Bingyun also said in Gan Tiantian's ear: "These few people can't be great."

"You already said that."

"I've said it, and I'll say it again."

"Has anyone ever told you that you're wordy..."

"you."

"...Xiaoji, you won."

Ji Bingyun and Huashang had the same idea, and both began to feel bored.

After the emotion and excitement of not participating in the Fragrance Fighting Club for a long time, Ji Bingyun returned to her original critical temper.In the past, when he was sitting on the commenting table, he would directly ask people to extinguish the incense burner and go down.

"So you're not very popular."

Gan Tiantian lost no time in stabbing Ji Bingyun.

"The way of fragrance, keep improving!"

Ji Bingyun really wanted to slap her stupid apprentice a few times, striving for perfection is the job of every perfumer...she really...

"Hey hey, hey, look at Lanmei coming up."

What Lan Yingwei was holding in her hand was a simple bamboo stove.

Bamboo root furnace is also called bamboo joint furnace. Its outline is similar to that of cylinder furnace. It is an ancient incense burner style that existed in previous generations.

Hua Chang has a small accident.

This woman... She thought that the other party would bring up a beautifully shaped beast stove, burning flowers and incense, but unexpectedly it was light incense...

"It really is very scheming..."

When Lan Yingwei's ignited fragrance was sent into Huashang's nose, Huashang understood Lan Yingwei's intention.

Fresh bamboo fragrance!
"Well, this kind of fragrance... It's not easy for her to master the preparation of bamboo fragrance at this age."

It is rare for Ji Bingyun to give a positive comment today.

According to Ji Bingyun's explanation, bamboo-flavored cakes are not difficult to make, but the difficulty lies in purifying the taste.To smell pure and fresh, it still needs a lot of complicated processes...

Gan Tiantian has tasted bamboo-scented fragrances.

Listening to Ji Bingyun explaining to himself the technique of making bamboo-scented fragrances again, this deliberately "returning to the basics" fragrance method reminded Gan Tiantian of a famous dish called "boiled cabbage" that he had eaten in his previous life.

"Boiled cabbage" sounds ordinary, but it looks even more ordinary.However, in fact, this dish is a very high-end clear soup dish, which is not seen in ordinary banquets.

The name of boiled cabbage is boiled water, but in fact it is a clever use of clear soup. The key is to hang the soup. The soup should be thick and clear, as clear as boiled water. At first glance, the finished dish looks like a few cabbage hearts soaked in clear water, and even a star of oily flowers can’t be seen. , but in the mouth, it is fragrant and refreshing.

It is said that it was created by a famous chef for those tricky royal relatives when he was in the imperial dining room.The "boiled water" here is the most high-end soup, which is made with hen, duck, ham, scallops, elbow and other ingredients, which is extremely delicious.It's just because it hangs well and the soup is as clear as water, it's called such an inconspicuous name.It is also used against its meaning if it is not called "cabbage in soup".

The "boiled cabbage" cooked by a famous chef is fresh and elegant, with a strong aroma and a strong soup taste, not greasy or greasy: the taste is fresh, not light or thin, the color of the dish is bright yellow, soft and soft, and it is not like a delicacy. It is better than the feeling of delicacies.Gan Tiantian also followed his own big boss, and ate in a high-end private restaurant once or twice...

And the bamboo incense that the Lanmei people are holding out today is also pursuing this feeling.

It is obviously a fragrance made with extremely high-quality materials and extremely complicated methods, but it smells light and breezy.

But will this impress the judges?Gan Tiantian was a little suspicious.

Facts have proved that her suspicion is unreasonable, because Hua Chang does not doubt.

Not only did Huashang not doubt it, but he even began to appreciate Lan Yingwei a little bit.

She is really a very, very calculating woman...

"Okay!"

The old Hanlin Zhou Zhiyuan twirled his white beard, smiled and praised.Immediately, another old man, Tang Mingjing, nodded his head again and again.

These two rounds of status and qualifications should be at the top of a normal banquet.But they were resolutely unwilling to rank their seats above the current parents' officials, sticking to their "hermit" demeanor, and sat in a partial seat, which was closer to Lan Yingwei who was holding the incense burner.

"You don't have to worry about her." Ji Bingyun chuckled, "She's here for these two."

That's right, Gan Tiantian thought, why did she forget that bamboo is what literati love most?
As one of the three friends of Suihan, bamboo is a symbol of elegance, purity, humility, and integrity, and it is also the heart of literati... Especially the so-called "retired cadres who return to the countryside" who do not regard themselves as noble bamboos, Don't say that I retired when I got old, but I have to say that I don't covet wealth...

When Lan Yingwei was "talking about incense", she held out fragrant ink, painted and painted with her own hands, and specially invited the old Hanlin to inscribe, and now she is holding out bamboo incense... just to win the appreciation of these two elders.

"However, behind this woman is not simple."

Ji Bingyun told Gan Tiantian that judging committees like Er Lao were not scheduled early in the morning, but were invited some time in advance.But the fragrance of Douxiang has to be prepared very early.

For example, Master Xu has been preparing for more than half a year.Aunt Chen in Gantian Tianxiangfang is even now researching new incense and buying incense burners.

Ji Bingyun frowned and said, "I happened to meet these two elderly people...it's not such a coincidence."

"These two are also acting."

After laughing twice, Gan Tiantian, who has more social experience than Ji Bingyun, figured out the trick here.
