I can't be a cannon fodder

"You smoke Lanxin." Xiao Xingxing is very self-aware, she is just waiting to hug her thigh as a non-chief.

Shen Lanxin was very nervous: "I smoke... I'm actually not very European."

"It's okay, just play it!" Xiao Xingxing pushed her, "If you win the lottery, it's our lucky day. It doesn't matter if you don't win."

So Shen Lanxin took a few deep breaths, took out a wet tissue and wiped all ten fingers, and put her hand in while muttering.

Then she pulled out a red ball with First Prize written on it.

Xiao Xingxing:! ! !

"Ah! Ah! This...is this a hit?" Shen Lanxin couldn't believe it.

The butler smiled very happily: "Congratulations to the two who have won our first prize. This is the key to No. 8 Courtyard. Here is the meal ticket. I wish you a happy time!"

Shen Lanxin and Xiao Xingxing were in a daze for a few seconds before screaming and hugging each other.

"Stars, we are so lucky!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Not far away, a young lady asked the housekeeper, "I was really afraid that she didn't get the first prize, so what should I do?"

Butler: "Fool, there is only the first prize here, how could it not be drawn..."

Because of the arrival of European Qi (not) the two people who lived in the three-story courtyard happily ate another dinner with local characteristics, and took a hot spring in the hot spring pool in their yard comfortably. Going to sleep.

Xiao Xingxing asked, "Lan Xin, do you have any thoughts on tomorrow's spices?"

"Ah?" Shen Lanxin closed her eyes and groaned, "Isn't this your specialty? I'll be in charge of helping out. If you have any errands, I'll do the manual work."

Xiao Xingxing thought for a while: "Then I'll look up the information first."

When Shen Lanxin was sleeping, Xiao Xingxing was still reading the materials, jotting down in the notebook from time to time.After breakfast the next day, the program team sent a lot of spices and simple tools, and Xiao Xingxing started to mix the fragrance.

"Do you have an idea?" Shen Lanxin didn't know what she could do, and circled around Xiao Xingxing.

Because there is no camera now, Xiao Xingxing boldly said: "I checked Teacher Tang Di's information yesterday. She said on a TV show that her grandfather once planted a kind of orchid. She will always remember the taste. It's a pity. It's extinct."

"You mean we make a spice that tastes like that orchid? But we don't know what the orchid tastes like."

Xiao Xingxing smiled like a little mouse: "I checked the information for a long time, and I probably know what it smells like."

Shen Lanxin gave her a thumbs up, and in the following time, she saw Xiao Xingxing's miraculous talent.Obviously she smells the same, but Xiao Xingxing can tell the difference by moving his nose.

And the movement of spices is so smooth, it looks like dancing.Shen Lanxin secretly recorded a section and sent it to someone.

*****
Huo Zhourong was in a meeting when he heard the notification on his phone and looked down.

Just when everyone thought that the workaholic boss would not take care of him, Huo Zhourong slowly picked up his phone and turned it on.

opened? ?

Is there any important business news? ?

The next second, they saw the corner of Huo Zhourong's mouth twitch.

Are you laughing?right?
Everyone was terrified, as if it was the end of the century.

Only Assistant Qin had the expression that you are all ordinary people and only I know the truth.It must be information related to Miss Xiao. In order to let her live better at night, his boss even invested a sum of money in Maple Leaf Mansion.

Then I didn't dare to tell Ms. Xiao, and asked the people in the hotel to hold a lottery...

Assistant Qin felt that their boss was very pitiful. There were a lot of women rushing at him with a wave of his hand, but which one he liked was unwilling.

"Continue." Huo Zhourong kept the video Shen Lanxin sent, and raised his head to signal.

The manager who just reported was still in a daze, and the colleague next to him poked his arm, and he reacted and said immediately: "Oh, Huo... Mr. Huo, about the resort in Hangzhou, we..."

Xiao Xingxing did it five times before deciding on the final spice ratio, but she always felt that it was not good enough.

"Isn't it okay?" Shen Lanxin held a small electric fan beside her to blow on her, and when she saw her stop, she quickly brought over the iced milk tea.

Xiao Xingxing took it and bit the straw, staring blankly at the spices on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.Seeing this, Shen Lanxin didn't dare to disturb her, and put away the candles they lit when they soaked in the hot spring last night.

"Candle?" Xiao Xingxing suddenly grabbed her.

Shen Lanxin was startled. Seeing her staring at the candle in her hand, she shook it tentatively: "Xingxing, it's a candle, do you want to use it?"

"I know!" Xiao Xingxing suddenly laughed, and hugged Shen Lanxin twice, "Lan Xin, you are amazing, amazing!"

Shen Lanxin looked confused, and then Xiao Xingxing took the candle away from her hand. The white candle with a thick wrist was slowly heated and melted by Xiao Xingxing with an alcohol lamp.

On the other side, she made a few more spices, then poured all the spices into liquid candles, and finally used a glass to set the shape.The original white candle is covered with a layer of dark brown because of the powdery spices added, but it is not ugly at all, full of Nordic style.

"It looks like a chocolate popsicle covered with Oreos!" Shen Lanxin licked her lips.

Xiao Xingxing made the remaining bit into a small candle, and soon after lighting it, the fragrance came out. It was faint at first, like sandalwood, but it became rich immediately, like the fragrance of various flowers intertwined, and finally there was a kind of sweetness. sweet taste.

"It's amazing!" Shen Lanxin sniffed hard, "And it smells good."

Rich and not pungent, sweet and full of natural fresh taste, it is simply...

Shen Lanxin hugged the candle excitedly: "We are sure to win!"

According to the time required by the crew, the two groups arrived at the No. [-] courtyard on time yesterday. Tang Di still looked at the four people with a smile, as if looking at his own juniors.

The program team asked them to put up all their tall works. Shen Lanxin asked for a beautiful box from the young lady who gave them a lottery yesterday, and she put the box on it.

On the other side, Sedum put up a double-layered crystal bowl, with purple crystal stones in the bowl and a small alcohol stove underneath.

"Teacher Tang, take a look at ours first!" Without waiting for Tang Di to speak, Jiang Luo went to the table and took out a small bottle into the crystal bowl, and Du Jingtian lit the small alcohol stove below.

When the crystal stone heats up, the perfume on it starts to atomize, and the fragrance slowly comes out, from light to deep.

"Mr. Tang, those two missing spices are already extinct!" Du Jingtian explained with a smile, "Judging from the style of the whole recipe, the spices that cannot be assembled should belong to the orchid category, because this recipe lacks Flower tone. So, I added phalaenopsis and light grass orchid. Although I don’t know how much the taste is different from the previous one, the overall fragrance is still very harmonious.”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Xingxing secretly, and then bowed and took a step back: "Teacher Tang, I hope you like my design."

Tang Di has been savoring Du Sedum's works, and nodded with satisfaction: "Hey, I have to say that sentence again, the Yangtze River has pushed forward! The two spices you added are indeed very similar to the original spices. Like, if it’s not a professional perfumer, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference, enough to distinguish the fake from the real.”

"Teacher Tang, can I ask, what are the two flavors that are missing in this recipe?" Du Jingtian asked modestly.

Tang Di smiled: "This is also part of the exam! Who of you guessed it?"

Du Jingtian frowned and looked at Xiao Xingxing. Seeing that she was also frowning, he was relieved, but Xiao Xingxing suddenly took a step forward.

"Teacher Tang, I know one kind."

Tang Di said with great interest: "Then tell me, what is it?"

"It's Jinshan Hesu. During the Qianlong period, someone discovered it in Jinshan Temple near Jinling, so it got its name. Later, it was paid as a tribute to the imperial court. After decades, it gradually became popular among the people. However, it was almost extinct in the Republic of China.

Tang Di's eyes burst out with a huge light: "Son, you... how did you guess?"

"Actually, I didn't guess it." Xiao Xingxing said shyly, "Because you mentioned in an interview together that you miss a kind of orchid that your grandfather discovered by accident, called Jinshan Hesu. You also said that Emperor Qianlong liked it at that time. Concubine Chong likes Jinshan Hesu so much that this kind of orchid could not be popular among the people for a long time."

"It became popular later, and then slowly disappeared in the long river of history for some reasons." Xiao Xingxing opened the box, "I used the golden thread orchid that is the closest to Jinshan Hesu."

Tang Di trembled all over, and her daughter who accompanied her quickly gave the old man a pill.When she gradually calmed down, she asked again, "What about the other one? Did you also guess it?"

Xiao Xingxing became more and more embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Because Jinshanhesu was guessed, then the other kind is easy to guess, it is Daxuehesu."

"That's right! That's right!" Tang Di clutched his chest, "I haven't heard anyone say these two names for a long time, how did you figure it out?"

Xiao Xingxing smiled: "When I was in school, I read a miscellaneous book about orchids. It said that Jinshan Hesu was found near Jinshan Temple, so it was called Jinshan Hesu. And after a year of snow, someone found Jinshan Hesu Su's original golden petals will turn white at low temperature, so we gave this mutated Jinshanhesu a new name, Daxuehesu."

"No wonder! No wonder!" Tang Di hurriedly pointed to Xiao Xingxing's work, "Hurry up! Let me have a look."

Xiao Xingxing took out the candle and lit it, and heard Jiang Luo whispering next to him.

"What is this? It's so densely packed that it's so ugly!"

Shen Lanxin also heard it, and smiled at Jiang Luo: "I think it looks like a chocolate popsicle! Don't you think so?"

You idiots, you are doomed!
What Jiang Luo wanted to say was interrupted by Tang Di's voice.

"Like! It's so similar!" The old man approached the candle and smelled it with his eyes closed, and then stretched out his hand tremblingly to caress the candle.There was a faint smile on that wrinkled face, as sweet as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

"Tang..." Jiang Luo said dissatisfied, but Du Jingtian covered her mouth.
