The Second Wife of a Rich Old Man 20
Xu Wangya's students and two assistants brought over the "test questions" from the wooden box. These so-called test questions weren't the content written on a few pieces of paper. Instead, they were extracts of various powders, liquids, pastes, and solids from raw materials. In other words, the fragrant parts of the raw materials had been extracted.
"Junchen, cover your eyes when you compete with him. Otherwise, he'll think it's unfair," Xu Wangya said.
"… Yes." After Yu Junchen answered, he picked up a wide white cloth and covered his eyes. Although he didn't want his relationship with Meng Yang to worsen, he had no choice but to show his strength now that things had come to this.
Meng Yang also sat down and covered his eyes with a wide cloth. Xu Wangya looked at his actions and sneered mockingly.
Xu Wangya's two assistants opened the wooden box and took out a small plate with a lid. They neatly placed it on the long table in front of Meng Yang and Yu Junchen.
After Xu Wangya nodded, the two assistants opened the lid of one of the small plates and placed it in front of Meng Yang and Yu Junchen.
Just as Yu Junchen picked up the small plate and put it under his nose and was about to focus on the smell, Meng Yang opened his mouth and said, "Fragrant Bean Powder."
Yu Junchen was stunned for a moment and then waited for the answer to be announced.
The assistant swept the small amount of powder into the lid with a fragrant feather. Then, he showed the bottom of the plate to everyone, "Fragrant Bean Powder, correct."
"… Cedar Moss Oil," Yu Junchen also answered.
"Cedar Moss Oil, correct." The assistant showed the bottom of the plate.
"Evening Incense Root," Meng Yang answered again.
"Evening Incense Root, correct."
"Seed Orchid Leaf," Meng Yang answered.
"Seed Orchid Leaf, correct."
"Osmanthus Grass."
"Osmanthus Grass, correct."
"Honey Pod."
"Honey pod, correct."
After Meng Yang had consecutively answered five types of spices, Yu Junchen said the second one, "Osmanthus."
"Osmanthus, correct."
Surprise gradually emerged in the hearts of the others, and Xu Wangya's brows were already furrowed.
Yu Junchen was also a little anxious. He wanted to catch up with Meng Yang's speed as soon as possible, but with his eyes covered, he needed to concentrate enough to identify the spices.
Next, it was basically Meng Yang's performance. Although Yu Junchen's accuracy was also very good, the gap between his speed and Meng Yang's was too big.
"Benzoin. It contains locust resin, Desert Cistanche, citrus pine, orange oil, and rice star. It has the effect of calming the mind and making people happy. It has the effect of not fainting after a long time."
"… correct." Xu Wangya's assistant looked at Meng Yang's eyes and was even more surprised.
Benzoin referred to the type of incense. This kind of benzoin formula was quite common, but there were many different kinds of formulas, so Meng Yang could accurately name all the ingredients in such a fast speed. It was really amazing.
After Meng Yang named several different types of blended incense in succession and correctly stated the ingredients of the formulas, not only the students looked at him with incredible shock, but even the masters sitting above couldn't hide the shock in their eyes. Because they were still students, it was already very impressive for a blended incense to be able to name two to three main aromas. Meng Yang accurately named all the ingredients. The sensitivity of his sense of smell was really shocking.
Yu Junchen had already begun to panic, but the more panicked he was, the harder it was for him to concentrate and the slower his confirmation speed.
After Meng Yang answered all the ingredients on the table accurately, Yu Junchen only confirmed less than one-third of the ingredients. Xu Wangya's face became very ugly, but he had already confirmed the facts with his own eyes, so he couldn't not believe it.
Meng Yang untied the blindfold, then looked at Xu Wangya and said, "Old Mister Xu, what else do you want to test? Pharmacology? Botany? Zoology? Chemistry? Physics? Or Geography or History of Incense? "
"These basic subjects are boring. Show us how to make incense." Lin Sung-tai raised his hand and asked someone to prepare something.
Yu Junchen had already untied the blindfold, but his eyes were staring at the table, not daring to look at Xu Wangya. In fact, what he could do now was not something other students could do, but the strength Meng Yang just showed made him panic. He really didn't dream that he would lose to Meng Yang.
Yu Junchen's two senior brothers watched and couldn't help but worry for him. They were worried that Yu Junchen would be scolded by Xu Wangya for losing to Meng Yang.
