Chapter 17 Making Incense

"Sir, this six-flavor medicine cost a total of three hundred and sixty taels of silver, and the prince still needs to give one hundred and sixty taels of silver to the little woman."

Xiao Yu nodded, but did not directly give the money left to the woman who sent the medicine, but opened the six medicine to check.

The six-flavor medicine are all new drugs this year, and the quality is good.

After wrapping the six-flavor medicine again, Xiao Yu said to the woman, "Madam, can you take her down to meet your girl?"

Seeing that the woman's face was embarrassed, Xiao Yu quickly continued, "This six-flavor medicine is very important to me. Miss Liu has helped me such a big favor. I should come to thank her in person."

Regardless of whether the woman was greedy or not, Xiao Yu took out a piece of silver and put it in front of the woman while talking.

The woman hesitated for a moment, picked up the broken silver from the table and kept it in her sleeve. She whispered to Xiao Yu, "Son, please come with the little woman."

Yanliu Lane is the place with the most brothel in Yanyu City, and most of the famous artists selling on Qingzhou also live here.

After following the woman for half an hour, Xiao Yu appeared in front of a small courtyard.

Standing in front of the small courtyard, Xiao Yu can see an exquisite attic and a large house in the yard.

"Please wait at the door for a moment!"

"Uh-huh!"

The woman went in for a while. Fu Qingyu, the maid in blue that Xiao Yu saw on the Qingzhou the other day, appeared in front of Xiao Yu.

After looking at Xiao Yu with a look, Fu Qingyu said to Xiao Yu in an extremely cold tone, "Come in!"

The yard is not big, and there are only two pieces of white** in this small yard.

Liu Hanyan is not in the attic, but at a stone table in the corner of the attic.

There is a stone stool next to the stone table, but Liu Hanyan sits on a bamboo chair covered with thick cotton cushions. At this time, the sun is still warm in the early winter, but Liu Hanyan is still holding the small heater that Xiao Yu saw on the Qingzhou.

"Miss Liu, thank you for helping me get the six-flavor medicine."

"It's a good hand, you don't have to be so polite."

After replying to Xiao Yu's sentence, Liu Hanyan whispered to Fu Qingyu who came to her, "Qingyu, go and get a cotton cushion for Mr. Shi."

Before Fu Qingyu could reply, Xiao Yu smiled first and said, "No, I'm a martial arts person. Just sit on the stone bench."

After sitting down on the stone stool, Xiao Yu first took out two pieces of gold and put them on the table, and then took out six pieces of paper full of small words and handed them to Liu Hanyan.

"Although this skill is not a special skill for practicing cold qi, it should also be a little helpful to the girl's cold qi."

Liu Hanyan raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yu deeply, but did not pick up the six pieces of paper handed over by Xiao Yu.

"Although my concubine has never practiced martial arts, she also knows the value of practicing martial arts. The concubine met the prince, and there was no reason to accept the prince's generous gift.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Although it's a chance to meet, the girl is kind to me. I don't like the kindness owed to others, so please accept this skill.

Just as Liu Hanyan was still hesitating, Fu Qingyu, who was standing beside Liu Hanyan, took the six pieces of paper from Xiao Yu's hand.

"Little rain, don't mess around."

"This is no nonsense. Xiaoyu is good to the young lady."

Just as Liu Hanyan put down the small stove in her hand and was about to get the six pieces of paper in Fu Qingyu's hand, Xiao Yu suddenly stood up.

"Miss Liu, I still have something important to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Xiao Yuliu arched his hand and turned to the door of the courtyard.

"Xiao Yu is going to see Mr. Shi off!"

Without waiting for Liu Hanyan to reply, Fu Qingyu took two steps quickly and came to Xiao Yu.

Seeing the two people walking quickly towards the door, Liu Hanyan opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he did not ask Fu Qingyu to return the six pieces of paper to Xiao Yu.

After walking out of the courtyard together, Xiao Yu arched her hand slightly to Fu Qingyu and turned around to leave.

At this time, Fu Qingyu suddenly opened his mouth and stopped Xiao Yu.

"Ms. Shi, wait a minute!"

Xiao Yu paused and turned around and looked at Fu Qingyu doubtfully.

"What's the matter?"

"It's okay. Qingyu thanked Mr. Shi for the young lady."

With that, Fu Qingyu bowed and saluted Xiao Yu.

"It's just a return for the favor. Miss Fu doesn't have to be so polite."

After Fu Qingyu straightened up, he looked at Xiao Yu and said with a smile, "The prince knows how to return the peach, and Qingyu also knows it. If the prince needs any help in the future, he can say it. If Qingyu can help, he will definitely not refuse.

Seeing Fu Qingyu's tone of a chivalrous woman, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Even if there is something really wrong, you little girl can't help!"

"Do you really need someone else's help?"

"How about it?"

Looking at Fu Qingyu's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Yu smiled and turned around and walked towards the distance.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was about to leave, Fu Qingyu took two steps, came to Xiao Yu's side, and hummed softly, "You haven't said anything. How can you know that Qingyu can't help?"

Xiao Yu paused and turned to look at Fu Qingyu and said, "I'm looking for mosquitoes now. Can you help me?"

After Fu Qingyu was slightly stunned, he looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Are you looking for dead mosquitoes or live mosquitoes?"

Seeing Fu Qingyu's question, Xiao Yu's heart moved and replied with a smile, "I only need a few mosquitoes. Can you find a lot of mosquitoes in this early winter?"

"Where can I find live mosquitoes in early winter?"

After Bai Xiao Yu's glance, Fu Qingyu continued to say, "Live mosquitoes can't be found, but dead mosquitoes are easy to find. In places with abundant water and grass by Yunmeng Lake, most of them can find dead mosquitoes.

When Xiao Yu was walking in the mountains, she also saw mosquitoes on some flowers and plants that attract mosquitoes. However, there were too many mosquitoes needed to refine a rue, so he did not expect to collect dead mosquitoes on flowers and plants to refine the rue.

"If there are really many dead mosquitoes on those water plants by the lake, you don't have to wait for the warm spring to refine the rue."

Thinking about it, Xiao Yu said thank you to Fu Qingyu, and then walked towards the distance.

He made a grimace at Xiao Yu's distant back, and Fu Qingyu turned around and ran to the courtyard.

Hearing Fu Qingyu's brisk footsteps, Xiao Yu turned around and took a look, and then walked quickly towards the listening wind tower.

Xiao Yu is grateful to Liu Hanyan, but if he hadn't had a very good impression of Liu Hanyan and Fu Qingyu, he would not have written down the first six layers of practice in Qiuyu Swordsmanship and gave it to Liu Hanyan.

Things in the world are always full of many unpredictable and coincidences, but Xiao Yu's kindness made him find a place to collect dead mosquitoes.

All cities in Jiangnan County have strict control over all kinds of large boats, but ignore small fishing boats.

After Xiao Yu rented a small fishing boat and came to the dry water grass by the lake, he knew that he could easily collect enough dead mosquitoes by the lake.

There are many mosquito-infested grasses in the water grass by the lake. After winter, the mosquitoes die, and those dead mosquitoes stay on the grass.

Xiao Yu holds a wooden basin with a diameter of nearly three feet in her left hand, and her right hand controls the Ruyi soul silk. In a moment, she can get all the dead mosquitoes on a dead grass into the wooden basin in a moment.

From the birth of the sun to the setting of the sun, Xiao Yu spent more than five hours collecting half a basin of dead mosquitoes.

"If it weren't for the soul silk, it would take about ten days and a half months to collect mosquitoes alone! I don't know how the Gao family collects mosquitoes when refining Yunxiang?

The mosquitoes used to refine Yiruanxiang cannot be smoked by the incense. Therefore, Xiao Yu thinks that if the Gao family does not have a special way to collect mosquitoes, it must be very difficult to collect mosquitoes. After all, there are too many mosquitoes needed to refine a Yiyunxiang.

After returning the boat to the fisherman who lent him the boat, Xiao Yu did not return to Yanyu City, but lived in the fisherman's house.

When she arrived, Xiao Yu got up and lit the sleeping hole of the fisherman's family, and then began to refine Yunxiang.

According to the material, incense can be divided into three types: wood fragrance, jade fragrance and blood fragrance, among which wood fragrance is the easiest to be refined.

Although wood incense is much easier to refine than jade incense and blood incense, Xiao Yu is the first time to make incense, so he is very careful for fear of making a mistake.

After carefully reading the refining method of Xi Yunxiang, Xiao Yu began to make incense.

Xiao Yu first shook the mosquitoes in the wooden basin into powder with vitality, and then took out half two thousand silk grass and half two fragrant flowers, which were also shaken into powder with vitality.

Mix half two thousand silk grass powder, half two fragrant flowers, and one or two mosquito powder together, and then stuff them into a thin tube made of jade.

After stuffing all three kinds of powder into the jade tube, Xiao Yu stood upright between her hands and began to slowly inject vitality into the jade tube.

Only when the three powders in the jade tube are perfectly integrated under the action of vitality can Xi Yunxiang be made perfectly.

The part of "Ningxiang Lu" obtained by Xiao Yu has a vigorous protating method, but even if she knows this method, it is difficult to refine Xi Yunxiang.

People who know how to make incense make incense with experience, and Xiao Yu's success in making incense for the first time depends on luck.

After about half an hour, Xiao Yu moved his left hand under the jade tube, and then pushed out the things in the jade tube with vitality.

Looking at a gray thing with a strange fragrance gradually getting longer, the tension in Xiao Yu's eyes became heavier and heavier.

When the things in the jade tube were forced out, the half that had been forced out was suddenly disconnected.

Xi Yunxiang is not the kind of fragrance that can't be cut, but if the fragrance is disconnected before it is ready, then the fragrance will be ruined.

After forcing the rest of the jade tube out with a vitality, Xiao Yu took a few deep breaths, suppressed the disappointment in the bottom of her heart, and started to make Yunxiang again.

After integrating the materials with vitality, Xiao Yu once again began to push the things in the jade tube out with vitality.

Many people who make incense often fail when the incense is about to completely break away from the jade tube. Therefore, as more and more things in the jade tube are forced out, Xiao Yu becomes more and more nervous.

When a Xi Yunxiang was completely forced out of the jade tube, Xiao Yu took a long breath.

"Good luck, I succeeded once twice."

After carefully collecting the Yi Yunxiang into a jade box, Xiao Yu continued to make Xi Yun Xiang with the remaining materials.
