Chapter 61 Fighting Fragrance (3)

Fan Xiangyun picked up the piece of heavy spice from the tray, put it in the palm of her hand and observed it carefully. First of all, this piece of material is very oily, and the oil line is clear and natural.Secondly, the color of this piece of material is dark brown, close to the nose and smell it carefully, it has a faint honey fragrance?

"Huh? No, it should be the scent of flowers."

Fan Xiangyun savored it carefully again, and felt that it didn't smell like honey, but a bit like the smell of flowers.This was a bit difficult for her. Originally, she judged that this piece of agarwood might be Huian agarwood from Vietnam.But her judgment is mainly based on the physical properties of this material. The problem is that judgments based on physical properties are often not accurate enough, and accurate judgments must also be made based on the fragrance of agarwood.

"This representative, please give the answer within 30 seconds. If the time is exceeded, it will be counted as a failure to recognize incense. The countdown begins."

Fang Qingxuan's words were like adding insult to injury to Fan Xiangyun at this time, she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely in an instant.Jiang Zhe and Feng Tiance, who were sitting on the side of the exhibition stand, also clenched their fists secretly, staring at her without blinking, hoping that she would give the answer quickly, even if it was a wrong answer.

The Mitsui representative on the side curled her lips when she saw this, and her evaluation of her opponent was a little lower. It seemed that she couldn't answer, and it was time for her performance to show everyone what a master of fragrance is.

"Don't worry, hold your breath."

Fan Xiangyun took a deep breath, looked carefully at the agarwood in her hand again, and flicked it lightly with her fingers like a ghost.It means that there is a cavity inside this piece of spice.

The color is dark brown with holes inside.The aroma smells like honey at first, and then smells like flowers, which is a typical feature of Hui'an incense.

"This is Huian incense from Huian, Vietnam."

When the countdown was about to end, Fan Xiangyun opened her mouth and revealed the place of origin of this piece of agarwood.Most of the people present were relieved, because if the time limit was exceeded, Fan Xiangyun would be directly judged to lose, but the question is, is the answer correct?
The three judges whispered to each other. Fang Qingxuan picked up the microphone and said, "The correct answer will be announced later. Now the representative of Jiang Zhefang can take a break. The representative of Mitsui Fang please identify the origin of the agarwood on the display stand. Let's start."

The person from Mitsui seemed to be very relaxed. After he uncovered the flannel on the other tray, he only observed briefly, and quickly gave the answer: this is a piece of Xingzhou agarwood spice.

"This RB guy is amazing. He said the answer before half the time. The woman before said it in the countdown period. I don't know if it's right."

In the originally silent conference room, there was a bit of commotion at this moment, and many people were whispering to each other, but they were not very optimistic about Fan Xiangyun.

"Please be quiet. After the unanimous judgment of our three judges, the answers of the representatives of both sides are correct. However, in terms of distinguishing time, the representative of Mitsui Fang has a clear advantage, so this match is Mitsui Fang's victory!"

Fang Qingxuan stood up and announced the result, and the conference room was filled with sighs of regret, after all, Fan Xiangyun got the answer right within the stipulated time.But there is always a winner in a fight, and this is also the cruel side of Douxiang.

Representatives of Fan Xiangyun and Mitsui Fang bowed to the judges, then bowed to the surroundings, and returned to their seats.

"Xiangyun, don't be discouraged, we still have two matches, and it's up to Tiance!"

Jiang Zhe felt a little sorry, he really didn't know that fighting incense under the eyes of everyone was completely different from what he imagined.This kind of pressure is indeed a bit too much.

"Sister Fan, I will definitely win the second round for us. You should take a good rest and don't think too much."

Feng Tiance also hurriedly offered a word of comfort, but when he looked at Fan Xiangyun at this time, he didn't seem to be so depressed, but instead had a slightly excited expression.

"I'm fine, there's nothing to say if I'm not as skilled as others. I just think I need to learn more about this in the future. Douxiang. Well, I like it!"

Fan Xiangyun smiled slightly, and whispered something that neither Jiang Zhe nor Feng Tiance expected.

"Did I get the wrong script? If Sister Lulu said this, it would be more or less the same."

Feng Tiance couldn't figure out the reason, but Jiang Zhe understood it after a little thought.Some people look gentle and easy-going, but the competitive heart in their bones is even stronger!When the pressure exceeds a certain limit, this competitive spirit will be stimulated, and then burst out with more strength than ordinary people.

"Next, let's proceed to the second match. Smell the fragrance. Representatives from both sides are invited to come to the display stand." After controlling the rhythm a little, Fang Qingxuan announced the start of the second match. "For the second scent, the representative of Mitsui Fang will appear first."

Feng Tiance quickly calmed down, lightly clapped hands with Jiang Zhe and Fan Xiangyun, and strode towards the display stand.

As for the Mitsui side, it was that woman who played this time.The woman is petite, with a baby face, and a sweet smile on her face from beginning to end.

After the two saluted to the judges and the audience respectively, two young men in Hanfu held trays and walked to the display stand and put down the trays.This time the trays were not covered with flannelette, so it can be clearly seen that there is a small incense burner and an aloe incense stick in each of the two trays.

Two men in Hanfu stood separately on both sides of the display stand, and the woman from Mitsukata walked over and pointed to one of the trays and said something in Japanese.

"She said she chose this agarwood stick."

Master Watanabe acted as a temporary interpreter with a microphone in his hand. At the same time, a disciple of Qingxuan Hall who could understand Japanese stood behind Fang Qingxuan and Liang Hongbo to confirm the accuracy of the translation to show fairness.

After the woman was selected, one of the men, dressed in Hanfu, went to the display stand to light incense, held up the incense, inserted the incense, and then stepped back.The whole set of movements is obviously trained, generous and solemn with a sense of ritual.

"I'm Minako, please take care of me! Now, I'm going to taste the incense."

Green smoke curled up, and a not very strong, but clearly audible aroma gradually spread to the surroundings.Minako, the representative of Mitsui Kata, began to pace slowly in front of the display stand, as if she was carefully appreciating the aroma of this agarwood incense stick.

"This aroma is sweet and clear. It has a very obvious frankincense smell at first smell. But after smelling it for a while, there is also some fruity smell in it. It is really long lasting and makes people feel comfortable after smelling it."

After Minako finished talking about her experience in tasting incense, she stepped aside with a smile, and the man in Hanfu just came over and took down the incense burner.At the same time, someone turned on the high-power exhaust fan in the meeting room for ventilation, in preparation for the next "smell".

The three judges exchanged briefly, and Liang Hongbo stood up for the first time to take the microphone.Master Watanabe waved, motioning for Minako to come to him so that he could interpret simultaneously.
