Chapter 13 The Diamond Occupation

"The second realm is to smell. What should I smell? A superior doctor smells the smell, and a inferior doctor hears the sound!"

"For example, after drinking or alcohol poisoning, people with strong alcohol flavor, people with organic phosphorus pesticide poisoning can exhale an irritating garlic smell, patients with diabetic ketoacidosis have a nauseating and rotten apple smell, patients with liver failure have a rat smell, and patients with uremia can exhale a clear urinary odor because the ammonia in the body cannot be excreted in time."

"The last thing is to ask and cut. I can't understand it, and I can't smell it. I can only open my mouth and ask the patient what he is doing. I can only understand the condition by taking my own pulse. This is the biggest reason why Chinese medicine has declined now!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhao raised his chest and said proudly: "So Master Xiangdao has been the most promising profession since ancient times! It is common for masters to enter and exit the palace, and kings, princes, generals and ministers to flock to him!"

"Old man, is it that difficult to refill? I see that many incense recipes are on the Internet, and the ingredients are also very simple!"

"Hey, you finally got the point!"

Old Zhao sighed, looked at Wen Yiming, and said seriously: "Don't believe in the various so-called incense recipes circulating on the Internet. They are useless! A sentence can change its flavor after being conveyed by ten people, not to mention the complex recipes that have been circulated for hundreds or thousands of years!"

"I have been studying incense with my master at the age of fifteen. I have been studying incense for more than fifty years. I have been diligent and have not slack off at all. But I am still a layman until today, and I am still far from entering the house!"

"Really or not?"

Wen Yiming looked at Mr. Zhao's dejected look and was very surprised. The old man didn't even count the entry? That's so possible!

"Oh, together with incense, it changes all the time, success or failure depends on our hearts! For our incense masters, there are three kinds of treasures, one is incense material, heavenly material and earthly treasures, and those who are destined to live there."

"The second is the incense recipe, which is truly inherited and ordered incense recipe. A piece of incense is unavailable! It best represents the level and experience of incense Taoist masters, and is ten times more precious than incense materials!"

"The last one is incense prop, and things are rare and expensive. Now any one is an antique treasure. I know how much does it cost to auction an incense burner in an official kiln in the third dynasty of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong?"

Wen Yiming finally knew why incense Taoist master is called the most promising profession, not future, but money!

"I'll tell you now why the so-called incense recipes circulating on the market are not credible! There are three reasons, the first is weight!"

Mr. Zhao turned around and took out a piece of paper with a table on it, explaining: "Most of the incense tables were left by ancient people, and the units of measurement were two, money, and kilograms. Each dynasty was different from each generation. For example, the two in the Ming Dynasty were more than ten grams more than the Qing Dynasty!"

"A prescription can be used for twenty or thirty minutes of fragrant ingredient, how many grams are there for each one? How much difference do you think the final result is?"

"A slight mistake can lead to a thousand miles of mistakes!"

"The second is the quality of incense. You know this without me telling me. Take agarwood as an example. How is it compared with ancient times now?"

Wen Yiming nodded and said yes, not to mention ancient times, it cannot be compared with fifty years ago! Nowadays, various artificial interventions, the land is poor, and more importantly, people's hearts are impetuous. Who spends his whole life waiting for the agarwood to mellow?

Mr. Zhao sighed and said heartbrokenly: "Not to mention agarwood, there are fewer and fewer Chinese medicinal materials that have passed the quality. I will give you a peerless incense recipe with accurate quantity. Can the current materials be combined with the ancient level?"

"The first two can be overcome and spent money! The quantity is unknown, try again and again! The materials are not good, and you can buy them with a lot of money. At worst, you can go to the auction and you can always find a solution. But the last problem is not something you can do with money!"

Wen Yiming had an idea and blurted out: "Is it a step?"

"Not bad, it's the step of combining fragrance!"

Mr. Zhao said excitedly: "Hexiang looks simple, but there are many variations. Each material has its own characteristics and uses. Regardless of weight or quality, steps are the key to success or failure!"

"You have been exposed to a lot of materials these days. Do you have any experience in making the materials?"

Wen Yiming said seriously: "I think the purpose of making incense materials is to remove impurities and facilitate use; the second is to guide the treatment of the reverse and to regulate the medicinal properties."

"Appropriate preparation can strengthen the medicinal properties of the fragrance material, fully exert its effects, and eliminate possible toxic side effects. In addition, specific preparation methods can be used to change the medicinal properties of the fragrance material according to the requirements of the compatibility."

Wen Yiming made spices by himself these days and said deeply: "First of all, it is to make the fragrance pure, and the second is to cut and crush, that is, pick, pick, knead, scrape, sieve, cool, cut, pound, pound, and other methods to remove impurities, excess water, deteriorated parts and other non-medicine ingredients, and make their size and specifications meet the requirements. If ambergris needs to remove sand and gravel, agarwood must remove soil."

"Steaming is to use water vapor or water to heat the incense material. It can be steamed or added with auxiliary materials. The heat of the steam depends on the requirements. This method can not only make the incense material cook, but also adjust the medicinal properties and separate the incense material."

"If the incense is mixed with black and white, it must be separated and used alone. Use porcelain to hold the incense into the cage and steam it. After boiling for about half an hour, the white floats on the top and darken on the bottom, and use it separately."

"The main purpose of soaking with clean water or adding ingredients is to adjust the medicinal properties and remove the odor. For example, to make the aroma of tart, you need to boil it with carbon juice first, then boil it with mud water, and finally boil it with good wine. Or soak it in rice water for a long time, then boil it with rice water, and wait until the water is completely yellow and cool, and then fire it after it cools down."

"Fry, stir-fry according to your needs or stir-fry, stir-fry and make scorchy on the heat. For example, the method of making sandalwood is to choose sandalwood to make the rice grains large, stir-fry over low heat to make the smoke purple, and stop the smell of fishy smell."

"Roil, stir-fry with liquid auxiliary materials, so that the auxiliary materials can penetrate into the fragrant material to change the medicinal properties of the fragrant material. The commonly used auxiliary materials in the making of fragrant material are honey, pear juice, wine, etc.."

"Fry the cannon, stir-fry quickly with a steamed fire, or add sand, pudding and yellow flour, etc. The cannon and stir-fry are just the difference between heat. Use the cannon to burn the cannon and use the heat to stir-fry and use the heat to stir-fry and use the heat to stir-fry and use the heat to stir-fry and use the heat to stir-fry and use the heat to stir-fry and use the heat to stir-fry and use the heat to

Wen Yiming recalled and combined his own experience, summed up his experiences over the past few days to Mr. Zhao, and finally said: "Then it is baking and water flying. This method can prevent the loss of powder flying during grinding of the fragrant material, and can also separate the water-soluble ingredients in the fragrant material, making the fragrance more delicate."

"Very good!" Mr. Zhao nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "It seems that it is not useless to work. I have some experience in the preparation. Each material has different medicinal properties. Even if the same material has different growth environments, its properties are very different!"

"To put it bluntly, the purpose of the preparation is to teach according to your aptitude, remove the dross, take the essence, and use it for me. Every time you combine the fragrance is tantamount to a scientific experiment, you will be shocked every step of the way, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything!"

Thinking of this, Wen Yiming suddenly seemed to be walking on thin ice, all of which were money! It was so easy to collect all the top-quality materials and start to combine incense, but it failed if you accidentally. The porcelain can be repaired if it breaks, and at the worst, a few pieces of porcelain can be left to study. But what can the spice be left?

A pile of black and gray!

"Okay, I've said too much today!"

Seeing Wen Yiming a little discouraged, Mr. Zhao quickly stopped and said, "You are just starting out now. Take your time and proceed step by step. Don't think about other things too much. As long as you work, you will naturally come naturally!"

Wen Yiming looked at Mr. Zhao and turned away, opened his mouth and said to himself: "What are you doing when you walk so fast? Didn't you talk about the ninth grade? What will happen in the future!"

There is no way, and it’s useless to ask. Stand up and stretch, the ninth grade is too far away, and it’s useless to think about it. It’s better to be down-to-earth and do it step by step!
