The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

When Boss Hao took out the backflow pot, Yun Yanhui's first thought was the siphon principle.Secondly, I thought of back flow incense.

You can tell by the name, this thing also uses the siphon principle, and the incense and incense burner are both specially made.The incense is a tower incense with small holes inside, and the incense burner has small holes or small grooves connecting the incense holes.

Although the name is the same, the principle is the same, but the effect is not the same.

From the appearance of the backflow pot, it may just be a seamless one, which makes people more novel.The backflow incense is that after burning, the cigarette flows downwards, and it is equipped with a specially designed shape, which often has extremely stunning visual effects.

Chinese people started to play with incense very early. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the incense road developed to its peak, and incense shops can be seen everywhere on the street.There are many uses for hanging sachets, burning incense, aromatherapy, and even medicine.Therefore, Song people like fragrance, flowers and beauties, all of which are indispensable.

Yun Yanhui didn't have much research on the way of incense, even if Zheng Ping changed the incense on his clothes, he could never smell it.

But he has seen people playing backflow incense, two incense burners in the shape of lotus leaves that go up and down, burn incense on top, and the cigarettes slowly flow from the lotus leaves on the top to the lotus leaves below, like flowing clouds and waterfalls. artistic conception.

Therefore, Yun Yanhui thinks that it should be a very good thing to let the production of good burning color go back to the incense burner and bring it to this era a little earlier.

On rainy days, the backflow pot and backflow incense are more suitable!

Yun Yan called Shen Kuo back, and then talked about the idea in front of him.

"Do you think it's feasible? Use the principle of the backflow pot to make this kind of backflow incense." Yun Yan asked back.

Both Shen Kuo and Boss Hao's eyes lit up.

Boss Hao has already seen the business opportunity, as if there are countless money beckoning to him.

But Shen Kuo immediately went through it in his mind, and said with certainty: "There should be no problem!"

Boss Hao bowed deeply, "You two gentlemen teach me!"

Yun Yanhui helped him up, "Boss Hao, we are old friends, you don't have to be polite."

He explained that he only had this idea, but in implementing it, Shen Kuo may still be needed to help, so he is willing to lead the line, and the future promotion is also on him.If Shen Kuo is willing to help, Boss Hao will come to discuss the remuneration.

Since Backflow Incense is divided into two parts, the censer and spices must be specially made, unless Boss Hao wants to enter the spice industry, he must find a spice merchant to cooperate with.

Boss Hao immediately expressed excitedly that he was willing to pay a high salary to return Shen Kuo and Yun Yan.You know, the shape changes that can be produced by backflow incense are much greater than those of wine pots, but backflow pots are just a little bit of effort in engraving.

Although Good Burning Color has gained fame, it still lacks a representative work that can confirm their status in the industry.It is conceivable that once the backflow series comes out, it will definitely make the style of the hot color leap forward.

Shen Kuo smiled, because of his background, not to mention being rich, but he would never be open to money, but this matter made him very interested, and when he heard Yun Yanhui's description, he yearned for it, so he agreed.

The three reached a happy agreement, looked at each other and smiled, and went to look at the planted tank together tacitly.

During the whole process, Boss Hao never stopped smiling. When people asked him, he said that he liked the planted tank too much, and he felt happy when he saw it.In fact, I was thinking about the effect of the product after it went on the market.

While watching, Shen Kuo kept hesitant to speak.

Yun Yan found out and asked him: "Brother Shen, do you have something to say to me?"

Shen Kuo bowed his head in shame: "It's not what a gentleman should do if the Taoist is behind the scenes."

Yun Yan looked puzzled: "What's the matter, you can just say it."

"Just now, when I was buying fish, the peddler told something about you and sister Ling..." Shen Kuo told the truth, and said with shame, "I didn't want to believe it, but there was one thing that I couldn't understand. Confused."

Yun Yan replied: "...what?"

Shen Kuo: "Then why did the peddler make such a gesture when he talked about your past?"

He also learned to draw and pull his hand on his chest. It was this gesture. Later Shen Kuo asked, but the peddler didn't answer.

Yun Yanhui was very speechless and said: "Brother Shen, you have to jump out and think, I was a child a few years ago, isn't it... so?" Yun Yanhui also made a comparison.

Shen Kuo: "..."

Shen Kuo was very ashamed!

Why can't he figure out such a simple truth?

Yun Yan replied again: "The rumors about us are actually exaggerated. You may not know that I was in charge of managing the order at the festival meeting of Daxiangguo Temple before, and my sister often helped. Therefore, it is normal for the hooligans here to be somewhat afraid of us."

He thought for a while, and added: "If someone exaggerates with you, don't believe it, I'm a good person!"

Shen Kuo nodded, "Don't worry, I think so too, there must be someone spreading rumors." What he was puzzled about was just the gesture, and Yun Yanhui had already cleared up the confusion.

Yunyan thought back to himself, damn it, fortunately the peddler is sensible and didn't say anything like a dwarf to ruin his reputation, otherwise he must rectify his morals.

It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.Obviously he has grown to 1.7 meters five now, although he is not as tall as Zhao Yunchu, but he doesn't have the hind legs of the man in Bianjing, okay?

……

At the end of the aquatic plants seminar, Yunyan sent back the exchange groups from various countries. At the same time, they also made a lot of money in Water Scenery, expanded their influence, and also drove the surrounding merchants to make a fortune together. It can be said that everyone is happy.

It was also from this time that after people from all walks of life saw the benefits, they all liked to hold seminars, which accelerated cultural exchanges between countries and regions, which was considered a good thing.

When Shen Kuo went back, he worked with Boss Hao’s craftsmen to study the backflow incense burner. At the same time, the tower incense used in the backflow incense was also developed by a spice merchant who had been doing spice business with Daxiangguo Temple and knew Boss Hao.

The spice merchant felt that there was a pie in the sky, and he was very happy.

Yunyan also went back several times, and provided some modeling ideas to open up ideas, and then Boss Hao's craftsmen quickly drew inferences, which made Yunyan feel that he still specializes in art.

After the first batch of official samples came out of the kiln, Yun Yan went back to take a look. The first batch had a total of eight shapes, each of which was different. After burning incense, the effect was very good.

Shen Kuo studied it carefully and thought that there were still room for improvement in the shape of some incense vessels, but generally speaking, it was a success.

Yun Yanhui then asked to give herself the Guanyin model he had suggested—fortunately, it was a flawless one.

Boss Hao and the spice merchant are keeping this matter in high secrecy, and only their confidantes can get in touch with it, but Yun Yanhui is not someone else, and this was originally Yun Yanhui's idea.

So, Yunyan took the Guanyin away.

Yun Yanhui has been thinking that since Zhao Yunchu confessed, although Zhao Yunchu claimed that he would stick to the boundaries of friends, Yun Yanhui still feels a little alienated from him unconsciously, and occasionally feels that Zhao Yunchu is a little sad.

How can we really get back to good friends like this? Zhao Yunchu worked hard, and Yun Yanhui felt that he should also abandon his prejudice, so he decided to give this incense vessel to Zhao Yunchu.Not only is the shape of the incense vessel Avalokitesvara, but he also chose sandalwood for the incense.

Yunyan put the incense vessel back into the box and went to find Zhao Yunchu.

Zhao Yunchu was stunned, it didn't mean that Yun Yanhui never gave him anything, it should be that Yun Yanhui would never forget to give him a copy of any novelty things.But firstly, he has those things, and Yun Yanhui's other friends also have them, and secondly, didn't you hear that Brother Yan specially designed this?

It's not that I will give a copy after I make it, but I will do it for him.

"As for being so moved?" Yun Yan scratched his face back, but he didn't think too much, he was still thinking about it, when he made grapefruit candy at home last month, he obviously gave a copy to the palace.But now, he hasn't even opened the box, he just said that he did so.

Zhao Yunchu raised a sweet smile, "No, I just think Brother Yan is so busy and still thinks of me, is it too tired..."

Yun Yan replied very ironically, "It's so sweet!"

Zhao Yunchu even rubbed his hands to warm up, and stretched out his hand to Yunyan to pinch his neck. Yunyan felt his fingers touch her bare skin abruptly, flinched, and then stretched out again, "Haha, it's quite comfortable."

Zhao Yunchu smiled slightly.

"Okay," Yunyan thought back to the business, turned her body sideways, and opened the box, revealing an incense vessel in the shape of Guanyin inside.

There are shallow depressions on the wooden tray, and three or two lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and lotus pods stand upright, just like a lotus pond.Avalokitesvara stands in the lotus pond with benevolent brows and kind eyes, holding a jade bottle in her hand, which pours down, and there is a small groove for placing spices on it.

Yun Yan took out a tower incense, put it on the groove and lit it.

The curling cigarette came out of the Yujing bottle and rose up, but it was floating upwards.

Zhao Yunchu didn't know that what he was doing was backflowing the censer, and thought it was normal, so he closed his eyes slightly to savor the incense, his face was full of innocence.

That's good, lest Yunyan tell me that you waited, because the backflow incense has just been lit, and it takes a minute or two before the cigarette starts to sink.

After a while, the cigarette smoke began to flow downward, pouring down, gathering less and becoming more in the lotus pond, gradually making Guanyin's skirt soaked in the smoke, plus the lotus leaves, lotus pods, and lotus flowers beside it, It looks like a pool of water formed by clouds and fog.

Yun Yan patted Zhao Yunchu back, and said softly, "Open your eyes."

When Zhao Yunchu opened his eyes, he saw an extremely stunning scene:

A lifelike Guanyin holds a willow branch in his left hand, and pours a jade bottle with his right hand. A wisp of smoke flows out from the mouth of the bottle, like willow nectar, dripping in the lotus pond, seemingly real or unreal...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Yunchu was very moved, his eyes turned slightly red.

Although I was a little crying bag when I was young, but when I grow up, I have to save face, and I really rarely see tears, especially after the confession failed, not even once.

Yun Yan was startled immediately when she returned, her heart was beating up inexplicably, and she said in a panic, "You love Master Guanyin so much?"

Zhao Yunchu forced back his tears and said in a nasal voice, "These spicy eyes..."

"..." Yun Yanhui almost laughed out loud, did you consider the feelings of other spice merchants when you said that?

Zhao Yunchu picked up the incense vessel and looked at it carefully. Although he didn't understand its principle, it didn't affect his appreciation. "It's really ingenious. Everyone in the Song Dynasty burns incense. This thing will definitely sell well."

"Then I'll lend you a good word." Yun Yan looked back at him changing the subject nonchalantly, without pointing it out, and said along the way.

Zhao Yunchu said lightly: "Don't tell me that."

Yun Yan didn't realize it: "Huh?"

Zhao Yunchu said narrowly: "The old way is to borrow the auspicious words from the officials."
