After hearing the voices of plants, farming in the countryside exploded

goo goo goo...

The potion on the barbecue stove continued to boil. After boiling for 10 minutes, the original clear water turned into gray-black, the same color as agarwood.

Waves of elegant fragrance filled the whole yard with the steam.

Zhang Ruoruan wrapped the handle of the pot with a wet towel and brought the pot and agarwood to the camera.

Uncover, use chopsticks to pick up the agarwood pieces one by one, and put them into a garlic mortar.

This garlic mortar was specially bought by Zhang Ruanruan on Pinxixi. It is made of stainless steel and is bigger than the palm of your hand.

"The texture of agarwood is originally soft, but now that it has been boiled, it is easier to mash." Zhang Ruoruan told the camera.

Insomnia: "I know this, it's the soft gold of the plant world."

Supermarket raccoon dog: "Ruanruan is right. I've peeled this before. It's indeed quite soft. You can scrape off a layer of powder with a slight scrape with a knife."

Zhang Ruoruan put the last piece of agarwood into the garlic mortar.

Then, use a garlic pounding stick, also made of stainless steel, to pound the agarwood pieces again and again.

Zhang Ruoruan's strength was very strong. With one hammer blow, the agarwood under the garlic pounding stick split open and turned into smaller pieces.

dong dong dong.

The table trembled, and the agarwood pieces became thinner and thinner.

But it's not enough, Zhang Ruanruan needs to pound them as finely as flour.

At this time, some barrages were puzzled: "Why bother crushing it? Can't the agarwood be dried in the shade and scraped off into powder with a knife to be burned?"

Zhang Ruoruan smiled: "It can be burned, but in addition to smelling the smell and getting some spiritual enjoyment, the actual effect is almost useless. If it is just to refresh the mind and clear the nose, you can burn an orange peel." almost."

Zhang Ruoruan's words may offend some practitioners, but they are true.

Agarwood, whether cheap or expensive, actually has little actual effect, or is not cost-effective.

If you want to refresh your mind, you can use orange peels, lemon peels, or even essential oils.

There are so many alternatives.

Therefore, the incense circle will always be a small circle, unable to get out of the circle, and will not trap the poor.

It’s not that agarwood is unaffordable, but air fresheners are more cost-effective!
At this time, the barrage discovered a blind spot: "Hold... grass! In terms of Ruanruan, isn't agarwood just a pure IQ tax?"

"I didn't say that!" Zhang Ruoruan shook his head quickly to save his life: "In fact, agarwood is also useful."

"Think about it, if you go to a company to negotiate a contract, the same thing is to improve the air. One company sprays air fresheners, and the other company takes out a piece of agarwood worth 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands on the mahogany tea table. , scrape off the powder little by little, then put it into the incense burner to press out the shape, and finally light it and close the furnace lid. With white smoke curling up, which company do you think is more powerful and values ​​you more?"

The audience in the live broadcast room instantly had a sense of the picture.

"I understand, agarwood is more powerful, and the sense of ritual is very important!"

"But this is indeed the case. This kind of thing played by rich people is not reflected in the value, but in the artistic conception and ritual."

"Green tea that costs one yuan a pack is tea, and tea that costs tens of thousands of yuan a tael is also tea, but the latter can make people feel more comfortable."

"I usually sum up this kind of thing in one sentence. If you buy it, I will disdain it. When I have money, I will buy it too."

At this point in the discussion, Zhang Ruanruan's agarwood was crushed to the extent she wanted.

Zhang Ruoruan quickly changed the subject: "Okay, now that our agarwood has been crushed to the point that it can no longer be crushed, the next step is to make incense."

Zhang Ruanruan left the camera again.

This time, she picked up a big green leaf from the table.

This is a fresh herb, but the name and appearance of Zhang Ruoran will not be shown to the audience.

Zhang Ruoruan held the big leaf in his left hand and put it on the charcoal fire to roast.

The right hand is holding a small spoon.

As the charcoal fire burned, the green leaves quickly withered, making an overwhelming sizzling sound, and small blisters appeared one after another on the edges of the leaves.

Soon, a drop of emerald green water gathered at the bottom of the leaf and was about to drip into the charcoal fire.

Zhang Ruanruan had quick eyes and quick hands. The moment the water dropped, he caught it with a small spoon.

It was smoked and grilled like this for 5 minutes. After receiving less than half a spoonful of green juice, Zhang Ruoruan discarded the large leaves that had completely dried up.

Then back to the camera.

"I'm back. This is the extracted herbal ingredient. Now mix it with the agarwood mud evenly."

Zhang Ruoruan poured the green grass liquid into the garlic mortar in front of everyone.Then, like kneading dough, knead it with bare hands and beat the agarwood mud.

Under Zhang Ruanruan's skillful technique, which was as if he had been a pastry chef for ten years, half a spoonful of grass liquid was quickly kneaded evenly and blended perfectly with the agarwood mud.

"I'll be back when I go."

Zhang Ruanruan left the camera again.

Five minutes later, I brought back a small amount of purple powder.

Pour into the garlic mortar and repeat the previous steps.

The barrage is all blurry.

"Is this how incense is made?"

"Why do I feel like an alchemist in a fantasy novel?"

"Every time I leave, I bring something new back. I understand, Ruanruan is magic."

"Is this the exclusive formula Ruanruan said? Although I can't understand it, I was shocked!"

“Looking forward to the finished product.”

In this way, Zhang Ruoruan repeated these steps five or six times.

Leave to extract the herbal essence, then come back and mix well.

so cycle.

05:30 in the afternoon.

Snapped.

With Zhang Ruanruan's final push, kneading the dough, ah no, the process of blending the medicinal properties was finally completed.

Next comes the final step, threading.

Just roll agarwood mud into lines.

A bit like making noodles.

The only big difference is that agarwood mud has no toughness and cannot be pulled, only rubbed.

Zhang Ruoruan first took out a small ball of agarwood mud, put it on the table and kneaded it repeatedly into a long line, which was about the same thickness as noodles and only a little thicker than a toothpick.

Then, Zhang Ruoruan used a piece of bamboo to segment the long line.

Each section is about 15 centimeters.

The cut soft lines were carefully placed on the round dustpan aside by Zhang Ruoruan.

After drying in the shade for a few days, the soft lines will turn into straight incense sticks and will not bend when picked up.

"Frog Qu, is this it?"

"It doesn't seem too difficult."

"My brain has learned, I'll ask my hands later."

"By visual inspection, Ruanruan made about [-] pieces after all the hard work all afternoon? The output is not good."

"I said it was just a trial run. When it is actually mass-produced, it will definitely be put on the machine."

During the passionate discussion on the barrage, Zhang Ruoruan also finished.

After counting carefully, there were 36 incense sticks in total.

Well, the output is really not good.

This is still when Zhang Ruoruan shortens the length. If it is made into 18 or 22 centimeters, the quantity will be even smaller.

"I just don't know how effective it is and whether it can really help me sleep."

Zhang Ruoruan took the dustpan containing 36 incense sticks and placed it in the utility room.

The so-called shade drying means to avoid light and wind.

"You all get out, you can't come in for three days."

Zhang Ruoruan also drove the four little guys, Zhang Juzuo, Zhang Heihei, Zhang Nanbei, and Zhang Dongxi, out of the utility room.
