The dishes on a table are well-meated and well-controlled, and the quantity is not only rich but also not wasteful.

The restaurant gave me a dried roasted rock carp and served it with sizzling sounds and fragrantness. Xiaoxiao knew that it was delivered according to his own taste. In the past, I often ordered this dish with my second brother when I had Sichuan cuisine. In ancient times, it coincided with each other again.

It is not advisable to drink alcohol during work meals, everyone drinks Mengdingshihua.

Xizi held the Song Dynasty-style Biliu glass teacup: "Maybe because I just mentioned the glass bottle, I now think about everything in the Xianglu bottle."

The topic finally returned to 'work', Xiaoxiao asked, "How many levels are the price of fragrant dew in the shop?"

Xizi chewed the lamp grass cake and looked at Wen Xixiu.

Wen Xixiu has finished his dinner and currently only drinks tea: "The price of fragrant dew is distinguished by the cost of spices and the method of making incense. Each bottle is about two taels of silver to five taels of silver."

Xiaoxiao quickly converted it, and it was between 600 and 1,500 yuan, which seemed to be similar to modern times. However, the ancient incense making was artificial and purely natural, so the cost was much higher. Besides, the quantity of modern perfumes has strict requirements, and generally there are three specifications: 30ml\50ml\100ml. Xiaoxiao can only convert it again. The weight of perfume and water is similar. Calculated according to water, 500ml is one pound, so 50ml is one liang.

"How much fragrance can our bottles usually hold?"

"The smallest bottle is one or two bottles, and generally two or two bottles are commonly used." Wen Xixiu said.

That is, 50ml and 100ml, sold for 600 to 1,500 yuan. The ones used are real musk and amber, without a drop of synthetic essence, all taken from fresh flowers on Wenjia Flower House, including flowers from far away from Yunnan...

Xiaoxiao remembered the joy perfume, which was once known as the most precious perfume in the world, with the Chinese name of "Joy". It was in the 1930s, and every ounce of joy needed 10,600 jasmine flowers and 336 Grass May roses to be made. It is said that the perfumer was distressed and asked the boss jean repeatedly about the cost. J said with certainty: "I want the best perfume, don't worry." "Brother Wen, how much does the most expensive fragrance you have made? "

Wen Xixiu didn't know how to answer for a moment. Looking at the night outside the window, his eyes reflected into the river lanterns on the dam, making people feel as if they fell into the abyss of meteors: "Hehe," he chuckled softly, as if he was a little sneer, "I have used tens of thousands of jasmine, and thousands of roses, orange flowers, and more than five hundred violets... What I made was just one or two pieces of fragrance... If I really took it out, I would probably cost thousands of taels of silver."

Xizi glanced at his brother: "Madman." As he said, he added tea to the two of them. "When Master Wen made incense, it was no exaggeration to say that he was nitpicking. He could smell the fragrance of plum blossoms and less than two plum blossoms. He would not let him enter the shop." Xizi curled his lips, "I have used all the fragrance of 'flaws'."

Perhaps it was because of Wen Xixiu's strict attitude towards commodity quality that Xiaoxiao felt relieved and even excited. The Joy Perfume of that year was born in 1929 when the global stock market collapsed. It is said that the birth of "joy" made people regain their desire for joy, and the aromatic taste diluted the tension of the Great Depression era. "It is the duty of perfumers to insist on using sufficient amounts of the best flower materials. I believe that the smell carefully prepared can give people hope." Xiaoxiao said.

Wen Xixiu looked directly at Xiaoxiao, as if he had just met the little girl in front of him, and after a long time he said, "What should be the fragrance in Yingyuan's heart?"

Xiaoxiao leaned on the back of the chair and thought about it carefully: "I think the classification of fragrance is like the fragrance brought to us by fragrance itself. The top notes are often the freshest, but they are often very short-lived; the middle notes gradually stretch and the smell begins to stabilize, so that people can slowly unfold their imagination; the back notes must be the longest, and can even last for a few days. The taste is domineering in its concentration, and it is the kind of thing that can be called the depths of the soul."

Xiaoxiao found that this was probably the first time he had developed himself to outsiders after coming to the Yuanlong Dynasty.

Xizi no longer ate, listened quietly. Wen Xixiu no longer closed his eyes slightly, but looked at the night view outside, holding a teacup in his hand. Xizi could see that his brother's fingers were exerting force and even sweating.

The sound of laughter sounded clearly in the night, like the little jasmine flowers that never withered in the middle of the night

"Then let's talk about the feelings that the fragrance brings me according to this category. The first category is a more straightforward taste, such as rose, orchid, or silk, wood, and stone tea. In short, it is a real taste that we can accurately capture. The second category is, just like the middle notes I just mentioned, rather it is a kind of imagination. This type of taste begins to become implicit, such as the taste after rain, it is hard to tell whether it is soil or grass, or the tung oil smell emitted by an umbrella, or the veil handed over by someone to wipe his hair; for example, the lazy smell of holding a cat in the yard in the afternoon may be the smell of cat, the sun, the plants in the yard, or the milk smell on the stove."

Xizi listened to every word carefully. He clearly understood everything, but he seemed to not understand it.

Wen Xixiu's mouth bent slightly, and she looked at her smile, but she felt that the three bottles of fragrant dew that she chose today were not right, so she should add some pine leaves and mahogany.

Xiaoxiao rarely speaks in such a long way. Fortunately, he just had a meal to replenish his energy, otherwise he would definitely be exhausted.

"As for the third type, it's deep in the soul, and it's hard to say which fragrance can hit someone's heart. This is hard to explain. If we give a name to a certain fragrance, it is called "Mother's Flower", the main fragrance is tuberose jade, and it is accompanied by other auxiliary fragrances. Some people smell it, which is very suitable because his mother likes tuberose jade the most; some people also smell it, but this person's mother likes peonies, but when he was a child, tuberose jade was planted in the yard of his home. At night, the mother came to the bedside to tuck the corners of the child's quilt.
