Pursuing Immortality

In fact, Gu Yu has no story to tell, probably a left-behind children whose parents died, and the grandfather raised the hardships of adults.

Grandfather is not a local. It was settled in the 1980s. It does not plant land, but it does a good job. In addition to oneself sale, it is provided to Ziyang Temple on Phoenix Mountain.

However, later, the commercial development of Taoist Temple became better and better, and the hand-made fragrance could not meet the demand, and it turned to a fragrance factory. The kind of straight, long, thick and fragrant, one column would dare to sell nine hundred.

Gu Yu has learned this craft since he was a child, and he really likes it. Practice is quite good. He studied hard, was diligent, and admitted to the provincial city, but after two years of reading, grandfather suddenly became seriously ill.

Without much consideration, he dropped out of school and took care of him. But unfortunately, the savings and the owe of foreign debt, grandfather still passed away, leaving only the small courtyard and a house of incense recipe.

The only lucky thing is that he did not encounter any disputes about the shit and the stove was inherited smoothly.

In the case of Gu Yu, it is actually very embarrassing. The college students who have not finished the book are not as good as a college or even a technical school student. Bai Town is a small place, there is not much work, and he can’t go a little like a spot.

I thought about it, I took it to the heart and simply became a mountain hawker. There is local protection, low cost, just suffering.

Suffering from suffering, standing up, going up the mountain during the day and working odd jobs at night, it has been more than a year now. Not only paid off the debt, but also saved a little bit of money.

“bang bang bang !”

The wall clock on the wall is like a machine that lacks oil, and it is unwilling to walk the needle. Gu Yu shut down the computer and took the basin to the kitchen to start washing his hands.

His fingers are slender, his nail clippers are very neat, and without soap, he slowly squats in the water, like washing every inch of skin.

After that, he pushed the door of the room.

Together, the lights illuminate another World, neat, compact, and with a different mystery. On all three sides are huge wooden shelves with bottles and cans, each with a label, and there are hundreds of them. There are two large boxes in the corner, and the square table is full of strange tools.

This is Gu Yu’s studio and never let a second person come in.

Xiaozhai ordered Wake Up Incense and he has to do it as soon as possible. The so-called Wake Up Incense is a kind of medicinal fragrance that can clear your mind, concentrate your attention.

It is best to make incense at night, not to disturb others, or to be disturbed by others. It is said that the incense has ten virtues, feelings of ghosts, cleansing mind and body, quietly becoming friends, sneaking in the dust, being able to smear and so on.

Static is fundamental.

Gu Yu turned around in front of the wooden frame, took off a few bottles and jars, and then sat down at the table. This sitting, the temperament of the whole person has changed, quiet, focused, and so little waves.

Oh, the waves are so windy, the waves that go to the canoe.

According to the online saying, making incense is to burn money, because almost every kind will use agarwood and sandalwood. These two goods are scary and scary, and they are not true.

But he inherited the grandfather’s incense recipe, which seems to have been passed from a very unique faction, and the Old Lord has been improved. These formulas rarely use sinking and sandalwood, and most of them are common materials. For example, Wake Up Incense is made from Shichangpu, Atractylodes, Peppermint, Night vine, white cardamom, borneol, and a round leaf on Phoenix Mountain.

Apart from the cumbersome powder of the Early Stage, the fragrance is roughly divided into five steps: adjusting mud, forming, sizing, drying, and hiding. Those jars are made of powder and sticky powder, so he adjusts the mud directly.

Simply put, it is to mix the powder with the sticky powder and knead it into a uniform like a dough. The sticky powder is made of eucalyptus bark, has no peculiar smell, and is sticky, but it cannot be placed more.

Like many incense sticks in the temple, after burning the incense ash, it is the reason that the sticky powder is put more. This is bad fragrance.

Gu Yu took a porcelain bowl and put it in a good powder. Add a little water and stir it a little. Until the water is clean, the powder becomes a dough-like thing. He repeated the stack from all around to the middle with a spoon, and thoroughly mixed the dough to strengthen the density.

This is very simple, the following is the key step, molding.

If it is incense, now people are going to be lazy, put more mud into the needle, and then squeeze out. This kind of practice is inferior, because the inside of the extruded stick is not dense, and the smoke will be larger.

A good way to do this is to use hand rubs to prepare spices and tanning incense. These two are the biggest ways to make incense.

“hu ……”

Gu Yu sat under the lamp and shouted for aok a deep breath, and the whole person became more and more quiet. He pulled a small piece of incense, placed it on a wooden chopping board, and started to squat with one finger.

Never squat horizontally, you can adjust the direction and thickness of the stick.

He looks at his heart and his heart is on that finger, not watching, but feeling. Feel that the small piece of the scent slowly stretches, thins, and prolongs… just like the oneself control.

This feeling is very subtle. Everyone who has practiced Tai Chi knows how to listen, and the musk is similar. Let the skin of the finger “listen” to the strength and reaction of the incense.

There is a saying: Musk is a heart-warming.

It is always a static word.

Time passed a little, the night was deep, Gu Yu finally got up and spit out a long breath. After spending a long time, a total of fifteen, a length of about ten centimeters, with a toothpick thickness.

He cut the sticks neatly, put them on flat paper, and put a few sheets of white paper, so that the shade would be faster.

Wait until tomorrow, the scent is completely dry, and then sent to the small plaque in the courtyard. For half a month, the flavors of the various spices will blend and the fireworks will decrease.

This is the first batch. You must know that he has to do sixty.

Therefore, there are not many people who make handmade incense, because they are too energy-consuming and can’t fit.

…………

That night, Gu Yu made a total of thirty, and slept very late.

But the next morning, he got up on time, refused to eat, packed up and went out. Just out, the goods ran back to the house and took three deworming pills.

This kind of fragrant pill is harmless to humans, but snake, worm, rat, ant is extremely disgusting, almost evasive. He goes into the mountains every day, and it is necessary for him to carry it. As for the original one, okay… It has been given to the two sisters.

“Xiao Yu, spirit is not very good?”

“Well, I didn’t sleep well yesterday. Have you eaten yet?”

“No, go to the mountain and make a mouthful.”

“Hey, Pharaoh, are you selling souvenirs today, meat skewers?”

“I didn’t buy duck meat, I will take a few days off.”

In the messy conversation, six or seven riders smashed out from the various lanes and naturally slid into the Phoenix Mountain.

They are all small traders, and the profession is not fixed. If you have a lot of money to make money today, then you won’t go up the mountain. If you don’t work tomorrow, you will continue to bear the burden. There are also a lot of things to sell, from fake kebabs to wholesale souvenirs, to home-grown cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.

This business is basically contracted by the people of Phoenix Fair. He said that people from other places, such as Dongcheng, Nancheng and Beicheng, want to go up the mountain, and they will be kicked and smashed.

Gu Yu silently followed, listening to Uncle’s uncles all kinds of blows, and soon arrived at the old coward’s yard, everyone put the down ride, and then into the mountains.

Still lined up, one by one, each has its own booth, no one can compete. He is still at the end, the front is a man of 40, the surname, Fang is the father of Fang Qing.

“Xiao Yu, I have been licking the performance of the girl, can you say that you can get a high score?”

“I have seen the Qingqing paper. To tell the truth, it is more difficult to get a high. The hope of the second high is still quite big.”

“Hey, she has a little bit of your ability! You see, the book that year, but the first college student in the village.”

“Uncle, don’t worry too much. It’s still a month away from the senior high school entrance examination. You can make a surprise attack. Then the exams are all about playing…”

One high is the first high school, the provincial key school, the second high is one level. Gu Yu took the burden and comforted the poor father all the way.

Regardless of whether grandfather is alive or not, Fang Family has always taken care of oneself, and Fang Qing is also like a little younger sister of oneself. However, she is really not interested in learning. Even in the second high school, the probability is half and half.

The two talked about it, and they walked to the mountainside for a long time, and the people in front could not see it.

“zhi zhi !”

“gu gu !”

Walking, I don’t know where there was a cry, it’s very anxious. The two stopped their steps and looked around. Fang Shu pointed to the side: “The other side!”

Gu Yu went, but in the jungle on the right, a gray-haired squirrel was caught by weeds, not far away, and a green snake was slowly swimming.
