Ye Tian heard the words, and immediately added the second half of the greeting:
"Hi Uncle He, nice to meet you, my name is Ye Tian, and I'm Zhao Qing's good brother."
The middle-aged man also chuckled, took an ordinary-looking personal business card from the secretary next to him, and handed it to Ye Tian with both hands:
"Hello Ye Xiaoyou, I'm also very happy to meet you. It's also his good fortune that Zhao Qing can make friends with a good brother like you."
Ye Tian took the business card with both hands respectfully, looked down, and found that the three words "He Daming" were simply written on the business card, followed by a string of mobile phone numbers, and there were no extra words.
Obviously, this He Daming who can be called Uncle He by Zhao Qing is absolutely extraordinary!
So Ye Tian also solemnly put this business card in the inner pocket of his suit, turned sideways respectfully, and invited the middle-aged man surnamed He to enter the private room.
While walking into the private room of Tianxiang Pavilion, He Daming also nodded to Ye Tian and said:
"Ye Xiaoyou, you are right. This incense burner is indeed my treasured sweet-scented osmanthus refreshing incense. Today I heard that Zhao Qing is going to have dinner with you good brothers at the hotel."
"That's why I specially ordered my staff to prepare the fire in advance, and it also added a bit of elegance to this dinner."
"Haha, I've heard of this sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance before, and today's first grade is really extraordinary. It seems that I'm still in the honor of Brother Zhao Qing!"
Ye Tian knew that the refreshing incense made of natural osmanthus was expensive, and the price of each incense stick was close to [-] yuan!
The kind of incense that everyone burns and worships Buddha on weekdays is similar to a pillar in shape, and is also called a stick of incense.
When this kind of incense is burned, due to the different design of the incense burner, it will also be divided into several types according to the shape and burning process: thread incense, pile incense, seal incense and so on.
Like some burning incense, the smoke from the burning spices goes down, which is pile incense.
And the kind of powdered spices that you can occasionally see on Douyin videos, and then made into special shapes or printed in fonts and burned in the incense burner, is seal incense.
Chapter 1082 Tasting Fragrance and Knowing Beauty!
The incense sticks that are lit at this time are incense without bamboo cores, also called straight incense sticks or grass incense.
It has appeared as early as the Song and Ming Dynasties. The burning time of incense sticks is relatively long, so it is also called "Xianxiang" or "Longevity Incense".
The use of incense sticks was extremely common in ancient times, and was especially loved by the aristocrats and literati.
It is simply composed of aggregates, binders, spices, pigments and auxiliary materials. It is very difficult to make and requires very high levels of incense workers.
Depending on the level of craftsmanship of the incense maker, the quality of the incense produced will also vary.
At this time, the incense sticks lit in the Tianxiang Pavilion smell so fresh and natural, and the scent of osmanthus is so tangy and pleasant, it is obviously made of high-quality spices.
And it has to be done by the top incense masters in order to reflect the pure flavor of the spices.
Therefore, Ye Tian's words of praise at this time are indeed sincere from the heart.
Perhaps after hearing Ye Tian's praise, the middle-aged businessman He Daming also said:
"Ye Xiaoyou, don't say that. If it's just for Zhao Qing, I wouldn't be willing to give out such a good incense. In fact, it's more because of Zhao Qing's invitation to Ye Xiaoyou and the rest of my friends. Take out this incense."
After hearing He Daming's words of closer relationship with a smile in front of him, Ye Tian also responded with a friendly smile on his face.
No matter what this He Daming said is true or not, whether he really thinks highly of himself who met him by chance so much, he is willing to spend the cost of receiving him for the first time, or it is just to say some nice words, pretending to light incense specially for receiving himself, He must be very interested in making friends with himself.
That being the case, Ye Tian naturally responded with a smile, and also smiled at He Daming, expressing his kindness.
As the saying goes, people in sedan chairs carry people, since He Daming put on such a gesture of courtesy, Ye Tian naturally has a lot of praise for his kindness:
"Then I really have to thank Uncle He. According to my memory, this sweet-scented osmanthus refreshing incense can have such high-quality incense sticks, and there are definitely not many left in the world!"
"Uncle He brought out such a good incense stick in order to receive us juniors, it really made me feel a little panicked!"
Ye Tian opened his mouth and said the description in the book that praised the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus, and by the way, he praised He Daming in front of him.
After He Daming heard Ye Tian's words, he immediately felt interested.
He turned to look at Ye Tian with a little surprise and curiosity, and asked aloud:
"Hey, I don't see that Ye Xiaoyou has really done a lot of research on this product of incense?"
"It's not really a study, it's just that I have nothing to do in my spare time on weekdays, and I have learned a little about the science of Xiangdao."
Ye Tian waved his hand casually, and responded modestly.
He really just read these books on miscellaneous knowledge when he had nothing to do. It can only be said that he has some understanding of the knowledge of Xiangdao, and it is really only a half-knowledge.
However, at this time, in front of so many rich second-generation friends, the appearance of directly telling the truth that he doesn't know much is full of humility in He Daming's eyes, which makes He Daming feel very fond of Ye Tian!
The Ye Xiaoyou in front of him was able to dabble in such unpopular knowledge at such a young age, and after being praised by himself, he remained humble without changing his face, and was not proud or proud of his performance at all.
It can be seen from this that this Ye Xiaoyou has a calm and reliable personality, and he definitely has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix among people!
To be honest, even people of the generation who are the same age as the middle-aged uncle He Daming have rarely heard of anyone who likes to enjoy this unpopular hobby of tasting incense.
The children of rich families in the capital, when they were young, mostly liked sensuality, and nothing more than walking their dogs, playing with birds and raising crickets.
And decades have passed, and after these rich people have matured, their seniority has also risen.
The children of the rich family of the older generation usually play with antique calligraphy and paintings, hand-stringed jade and other literary and play collections, or invite friends to sit and drink tea together, so they are more popular. accepted and liked by people.
Unpopular hobbies like Pinxiang are really rare these days, and even almost lost.
In ancient times, literati had many elegant things, and celebrities had many romantic affairs. The unpopularity of incense and Taoism has something to do with the public, and it also has something to do with oneself.
The number of people who specialize in incense and Taoism is very small, and there are even fewer people who can taste and read.
There are also very few words about tasting incense in ancient poems, or they are not very brilliant.There are only a few famous poems related to Pinxiang in the Song Dynasty.
Even the group of literati and poets who paid attention to elegance in ancient times were like this, let alone today's young people.
You just pull a young guy from the street and ask him what it means to taste incense, and you specify to ask one by one. They don't even know what this product is.
Because of this, the middle-aged wealthy businessman He Daming has always felt relatively lonely in his hobby of tasting incense.
There are very few friends who also like this hobby. He often can only light a furnace of agarwood by himself, sit alone in the quiet room, and quietly savor the elegant life contained in the incense.
He Daming, who likes this way now, suddenly met Ye Tian, a young friend who can talk and talk to heaven, and he can still discuss the unpopular topic of Xiangdao with him, and suddenly he was very excited rise!
Before he knew it, his interest in Ye Tian became stronger and stronger!
In addition to giving him an urgent idea to make friends with Ye Tian, the more important thing is that He Daming has a little more hazy guesses about Ye Tian's family background from this incident!
As we all know, if those parents with a little money in the society want to cultivate the literary and artistic temperament of the next generation.
Most people will learn from instruments such as piano, guitar, and violin. When they can learn ancient instruments such as pipa and zither, they feel very special and unique.
