Rebirth: Fu Jia Returns

Chapter 153
Fu Jia stepped forward with a smile, pointed to the things on the table and introduced them one by one: "These are the spices used, and these are the tools used for flavoring."

Fu Jia pointed to the incense cutting board, cutting knife, small bowls, small plates, small scales, and something like a pot-bellied glass stove placed next to it.

The empress was just curious about this, so she pointed and asked, "What is this for?"

Fu Jia pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty will find out soon."

Oh, it's still a trick.

The empress smiled and said, "Okay then, let's start your performance."

I haven't seen anyone performing their skills to make incense. Some incense recipes are passed down in the family and have always been kept secret.

Some are given to girls as dowry, which is also regarded as a kind of skill.

Fu Jia wants to mix fragrance in full view today?

However, Fu Jia was originally a country girl, so there shouldn't be such things. It couldn't be the fragrant prescription provided by Mrs. Anping Hou.

The eyes of all the ladies seemed to fall on Mrs. Anping Hou, and she was staring closely at the movements of Fu Jia's hands with a nervous and curious look on her face.

It seemed that she didn't know what Fu Jia was doing either.

Everyone knew that it was indeed the case, how could Mrs. Anping Hou really announce her family's fragrant prescriptions to the public.

Fu Jia stood in front of the table, concentrating on making it.

Once she starts to do these jobs, she will turn a deaf ear to the outside world and completely immerse herself in her own world.

What she wants to blend today is an ancient fragrance, Spring Letter in Snow.

It is rumored that the great Confucianism in the Song Dynasty spent seven years in order to get the fragrance of plum blossoms when the early spring was cold and the weather was chilly.

At that time, after an unexpected heavy snowfall, he walked slowly to the courtyard, staring at the snow-covered plum blossoms for a long time.

Then he called his maid, took out a mutton fat jade bowl, and told her earnestly to fetch some snow from plum blossom cores in the courtyard while the spring snow was in full swing, and to have a heart of love between heaven and earth and plum blossoms when fetching snow. , we must abandon distracting thoughts, and gently sweep with a brush, so as not to hurt the plum blossoms.

Then he asked the book boy to take out the processed agarwood, sandalwood, dried diced plum meat, and Pu Nitrate and other fragrant medicines from the incense cellar, and weighed them out one by one according to the formula he gave.

In fact, he has been preparing for a long time. Today's heavy snowfall is like God's perception of his expectation, asking him to complete this incense recipe that has been tried for seven years but failed to come true.

When the maid returned from picking snow, the snow in the bowl had already melted, and the snow water with pollen shone with a light and crystal luster, exuding a faint plum fragrance.He spread a layer of the prepared fragrant medicine on the incense plate, flicked a layer of floral dew from "Plum Soul Snow Soul" in the jade bowl with a bristle brush, spread another layer of fragrant medicine, and sprinkled a layer of floral dew until After the fragrance medicine is basically moistened, it begins to blend in with the fragrance.

It was noon after the incense was finished. Su Shi took the incense powder and made seal incense and lit it. The dense aroma was like ten thousand plum trees spraying incense at the same time.

He once said: After a hundred days of cellaring, its fragrance will be longer.

As for Fu Jia's use today, he didn't store it for a hundred days, but he prepared it for a while.

Fu Jia carefully grinds the spices used, then mixes them one by one, and finally prepares them into shape.

Up until now, the thing with a glass round belly that the empress has paid attention to has not been used, and she has been curious.

Then I saw Fu Jia put the finished incense in a delicate small steamer, and then Fu Jia lit the round-bellied glass bottle with a match, and then put it under the shelf, and watched it slowly in the steamer A puff of white smoke came out.

The white smoke was a bit choking to the nose, and after a few breaths, the white smoke disappeared, and then a faint fragrance was smelled, and water droplets as clear as dew slowly flowed out through the glass tube on the side of the steamer, and flowed to the In a delicate glass bottle below.

One drop, two drops...

Fu Jia turned off the lamp, then took out the residue of the spices that were purified and poured them into a small cloth bag beside her, and then lifted up the perfumed dew that had been prepared.

"My lady, please take a look."

In the process of the dew falling drop by drop, the fragrance gradually filled the hall.

This fragrance is different from others, with a faint and cool plum blossom fragrance, lingering from the tip of the nose, leaving an aftertaste.

It seems that the red plum that blooms in winter is just like the surprise that falls on my heart.

The empress slowly closed her eyes, savoring the fragrant breath carefully.

After a long time, she opened her phoenix eyes, her face was full of joy, and she said, "Good, good, it smells so good!"

She said three good words in a row, which shows how happy she is.

Fu Jia carefully presented the glass bottle to Mrs. Liu, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, empress, and please accept the little girl's kindness."

The empress looked at the radiant dew in the glass bottle, like a red plum blossom, and was full of joy.

"Well, I will accept it."

With that said, the empress put Xianglu in her hands carefully.

Everyone looked at Fu Jia as if they were looking at a rare treasure.

General Zhenyuan's old lady smiled and said: "Wan Qing really picked up a treasure, how can this little girl know everything."

As he said that, General Zhenyuan's wife called Fu Jia and said, "Girl, I'll make a sleep-promoting fragrance for the old lady later on, how about it, is that okay?"

Fu Jia hurriedly knelt and replied, "Old Madam, you can just order it. How about Jia Jia go to your house to prepare it in front of you? I just don't know if it's suitable, after all, you still have to take care of the meal."

The old lady laughed: "Little girl, do you want to come to our house for dinner? Yes!"

Cheng Miaoyu was on the side, clapping his hands and laughing, "That's a good relationship. I'll come and greet Jiajia when the time comes."

Cheng Miaoyu has long wanted to invite Fu Jia to their house as a guest, and this is the best opportunity.

The empress listened to them coming and going, and after a while, the plan was finalized. She moved her mouth a few times, and she really wanted to say: "My palace is going too!"

It is really not suitable for the occasion...

Seeing the troubled look on the empress's face, Miss Liu whispered in her ear, "Your maidservant can ask when Miss Fu will go to Zhenyuan General's Mansion."

The Empress gave Ms. Liu a compliment, but Ms. Liu understood her thoughts.

Underneath, Mrs. Anping Hou pulled Fu Jia and let her sit beside her, patted her hand lovingly, then smiled and said to the old lady of General Zhenyuan: "Old lady, don't spoil her, If the old lady is trustworthy, sister Jia will drop by your house to play."

Fu Jia has her own social circle, which is the best.

Fu Rong stood aside and said, "I want to go too."

Cheng Miaoyu also looked very pleasing to Fu Rong's eyes today, and said with a smile, "Go, go, go."

Hearing Cheng Miaoyu's generosity, several noble ladies also laughed and said, "We want to go too, we want to go too."

It seems that I have seen and seen Fu Jia's fragrance, and I feel very good when I smell it.

Cheng Miaoyu said with a swipe: "All go, all go!"

Well, half of the people in the temple on her side are about to be invited.
