The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 164: The incense stick

When Boss Hao took out the pouring pot, the first thing Yun Yanhui thought of was the siphon principle. Secondly, I thought of backflow incense.

You can tell from the name. This thing also uses the principle of siphon, and the incense and incense burner are specially made. The incense is tower incense, with small holes in it, and the incense burner has small holes or small grooves connected to the incense holes.

Although the name is similar and the principle is the same, the effect is not the same.

From the outside, the pouring pot may only be integrated, which makes people more novel. The backflow incense is burned down, the cigarette flows down, with a specially designed shape, it often has a very stunning visual effect.

Chinese people began to play incense very early. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the incense road developed to its peak, and incense shops can be seen everywhere on the streets. Hanging incense bags, burning incense, aromatherapy, and even medicine, there are many uses. Therefore, Song people like fragrance, flowers, and beauty, all of which are indispensable.

Yun Yanhui had no research on incense, and even if Zheng Ping changed the incense on his clothes, he could never smell it.

But he has seen people playing incense backwards, two incense burners in the shape of lotus leaves, one on top of the other, burning incense on the top, cigarettes slowly flowing from the lotus leaf above to the lotus leaf below, like a floating cloud waterfall Generally, very artistic.

Therefore, Yun Yanhui felt that it should be a good thing to let Hao-color produce a reverse-flow incense burner and bring it to this era a little bit earlier.

On a rainy day, the backflow pot and backflow incense are more suitable!

Yun Yanhui called Shen Kuo, and in front of him, he talked about the idea.

"Do you think it's feasible? Use the principle of a backflow pot to make such a backflow incense." Yunyan asked back.

Both Shen Kuo and Boss Hao's eyes lit up.

Boss Hao has seen the business opportunity, as if countless money are beckoning to him.

Shen Kuo immediately went through it in his mind and said with certainty, "There should be no problem!"

Boss Hao bowed deeply, "Teach me, gentlemen!"

Yun Yanhui helped him up, "Boss Hao, we are all old friends, don't be polite."

He explained that he only had this idea, but to implement it, he might still need Shen Kuo's help, so he was willing to lead this line, and the promotion in the future was also covered by him. If Shen Kuo is willing to help, Boss Hao will come to talk about the remuneration.

Because the incense burner is divided into two parts, the incense burner and the spices are specially made. Unless Boss Hao wants to enter the spice industry, he must also find a spice merchant to cooperate.

Boss Hao immediately said excitedly that he was willing to pay a high salary to Shen Kuo and Yun Yanhui. You must know that the shape changes that the backflow incense can produce is much greater than that of the wine pot, but the backflow pot is just a little bit of work on the engraving.

Although Good Burning Color has opened up its fame, it has always lacked a representative work to determine their status in the industry. It is conceivable that when the reverse flow series comes out, it will definitely make a great leap in the color-burning style.

Shen Kuo smiled, because of his background, not to mention the rich, but he would never be attracted to money, but this matter made him very interested, he heard Yun Yanhui's description, and he yearned for it, so he agreed down.

The three reached a pleasant agreement, looked at each other and smiled, and went to watch the water plant tank together in tacit understanding.

During the whole process, Boss Hao's smile never stopped. When someone asked him, he said he liked the water plant tank too much, and he felt happy when he saw it. In fact, I was thinking about the effect of the product after it was launched.

While watching, Shen Kuo was hesitant to speak.

Yunyan found out and asked him, "Brother Shen, do you have anything to tell me?"

Shen Kuo bowed his head in shame: "The strength of the Taoist behind it is not what a gentleman should do."

Yun Yan replied with a puzzled look: "What the **** is going on, just tell me."

"Fangcai, when I was buying fish, the hawker told some stories about you and Sister Ling..." Shen Kuo said truthfully and said with shame, "I didn't want to believe it, but there was something I couldn't think of. I have always been confused.”

Yunyan replied: "...what?"

Shen Kuo: "Why did the hawker make such a gesture when he talked about your past?"

He also learned to draw his hand on his chest. It was this gesture. Later, Shen Kuo asked, but the hawker didn't answer. of.

Yun Yanhui said very speechlessly: "Brother Shen, you have to come out and think, I was a child a few years ago, isn't it...Is that so?" Yun Yanhui also compared.

Shen Kuo: "..."

Shen Kuo is very ashamed!

Why can't he figure out such a simple truth?

Yunyan replied: "The rumors about us are actually exaggerated. You may not know that I was in charge of managing the order at the festival in Daxiangguo Temple before, and my sister often It is normal for the local gangsters here to be a little bit afraid of us.”

He thought for a while and added: "If someone exaggerates with you, don't believe me, I'm a good person!"

Shen Kuo nodded, "Don't worry, I thought so too. Someone must have spread the truth." He was only confused by the gesture, and Yun Yanhui had already cleared his confusion.

Yunyan thought back to her heart, Damn it, luckily that peddler didn't say anything like a dwarf to ruin his reputation, otherwise he would have to rectify his discipline.

It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things travel thousands of miles. Obviously, he has grown to 1.75 meters now. Although he is not as tall as Zhao Yunchu, is he not as tall as the Bianjing man?

……

After the water plant seminar, Yun Yan returned to send away the exchange groups from various countries. At the same time, they also made a lot of money in Water Scenery, expanded the image, and also brought the surrounding merchants to make a fortune. It can be said that everyone is happy.

From this time on, people from all walks of life like to hold seminars after seeing the benefits, which has accelerated cultural exchanges between countries and regions, which is also a good thing.

Shen Kuo went back and worked with the craftsmen from Boss Hao to study the backflow incense burner. At the same time, the tower incense used in the backflow incense was also developed by a spice merchant who had been in business with Daxiangguo Temple and knew Boss Hao. .

The spice dealer felt so happy that a pie fell from the sky.

Yun Yanhui also visited several times to provide some ideas for modeling and development, and then Boss Hao's craftsmen quickly made inferences, which made Yun Yanhui feel that he still specializes in art.

After the first batch of official samples came out of the kiln, Yunyan went back to take a look. This first batch has eight shapes, each of which is different. After burning the incense, the effect is very good.

Shen Kuo studied it carefully and thought that there was still room for improvement in the shape of some incense sticks, but overall, it was a success.

Yun Yanhui asked to give herself the Guanyin shape he had come up with - fortunately, this was a flawless one.

This matter, Boss Hao and the spice dealer are highly confidential, and only absolute confidants can access it, but Yun Yanhui is not someone else, this is the idea provided by Yun Yanhui.

So, Yun Yan Hui took the Guanyin away.

Yun Yanhui has been thinking that since Zhao Yunchu confessed, although Zhao Yunchu claimed that he would stick to the boundaries of friends, Yun Yanhui still felt a little estranged towards him, and occasionally felt that Zhao Yunchu was a little sad.

How can I really be a good friend like this? Zhao Yunchu worked hard, Yun Yanhui felt that he should also abandon his prejudice, so he decided to give this incense to Zhao Yunchu. This is what Yun Yanhui thought when he proposed the shape. OK. Not only the shape of the incense vessel is Guanyin, but he also chose sandalwood.

Yun Yanhui put the incense in the box and went to find Zhao Yunchu.

Zhao Yunchu was stunned. It wasn't that Yun Yanhui didn't give him anything, it should be said that Yun Yanhui did something novel and would never forget to give him a copy. But first, he has those things, and Yun Yanhui's other friends also have them. Second, didn't you hear that this was specially designed by Brother Yan?

I don't give it away when I make it, I do it for him.

"Are you so moved?" Yun Yan scratched her face back, but she didn't think too much about it. He was still thinking about it. When he was making grapefruit candy at home last month, he obviously sent a copy to the palace. And now, he hasn't even opened the box, and only said that he did so.

Zhao Yunchu raised a sweet smile, "No, I just think that Brother Yan is so busy thinking of me, will it be too tired..."

Yunyan responded very eloquently, "It's so sweet!"

Zhao Yunchu also rubbed his hands to heat up, and stretched out his hand to squeeze Yun Yanhui's neck, Yun Yanhui felt his fingers suddenly touch his bare skin, shivered, and then stretched out again, "Haha, still It's very comfortable."

Zhao Yunchu smiled slightly.

"Okay," Yun Yan thought back to the business, turned her body sideways, opened the box, and revealed a Guanyin-shaped incense vessel inside.

There are shallow depressions on the wooden tray, and three or two lotus leaves, lotus and lotus pods stand upright, just like a lotus pond. Guanyin is standing in the lotus pond with kind eyes and kind eyes, holding a jade bottle in his hand. The jade bottle is poured down, and there is a small groove for placing spices on it.

Yun Yanhui took out a tower incense and placed it on the groove to light it.

The curling cigarette emerges from the mouth of the jade bottle and rises, but it floats upwards.

Zhao Yunchu didn't know that this was a reverse incense burner, and thought it was normal. He closed his eyes slightly and tasted the incense, and his face was full of innocence.

This is good, save Yun Yan from replying that you have to wait, because the incense has just been lit and it will take a minute or two before the cigarette will start to sink.

After a while, the cigarettes that floated out began to flow down, pouring down, gathering in the lotus pond, gradually making Guanyin's skirt soaked in the smoke, and the lotus leaves and lotus pods next to it. , Lotus, looks like a pool of water formed by clouds.

Yunyan patted Zhao Yunchu back and said softly, "Open your eyes."

Zhao Yunchu opened his eyes and saw a very amazing scene:

A lifelike Guanyin holds a willow branch in his left hand, and pours a jade bottle with his right hand. A wisp of smoke flows from the mouth of the jade bottle, like the nectar of willows, dripping in a lotus pond, which seems real and fantasy...

Zhao Yunchu looked at the scene in front of him and was very moved, his eyes turned slightly red.

Although I was a little crying bag when I was a child, but when I grow up I want to save face, I really rarely see tears, especially after I failed to confess, I never once did.

Yun Yanhui was startled and her heart thumped inexplicably, she said in a panic, "Respect Guanyin so much?"

Zhao Yunchu held back his tears and said in a nasal voice, "These spicy eyes..."

"..." Yun Yanhui almost laughed out loud, have you considered the feelings of other spice merchants when you say that?

Zhao Yunchu held up the incense utensil and took a closer look. Although he didn't understand the principle, it did not affect his appreciation. "It's really ingenious, everyone in the Song Dynasty burns incense, and this thing will definitely sell well."

"Then I'll borrow your auspicious words." Yun Yan looked back at him and changed the subject casually, without breaking the point, and said along the way.

Zhao Yunchu said lightly: "Don't tell me this."

Yun Yan Hui didn't respond: "Huh?"

Zhao Yunchu hurriedly said: "The old way, let's borrow the words of the official family."
