Chapter 70: Rose Essential Oil
Dongfang Yixian looked at Wu You was holding a white sweat towel, and wiped Ruoruo's sweat diligently, the love in her eyes and the concern in her voice, the blind could see the little girl's spring love.
"Brother Ruo, take a break, don't get tired. While wiping Ruoxi's sweat, you handed over a cup of flower tea and said, "Brother Ruo, you drink water, I just made rose tea." ”
"Fog you, you drink first, I'm not tired. Ruoxi poured out the roses from the bamboo basket and dried them on the straw mat in the shade of the tree.
Dongfang Yixian looked at the large roses drying on the straw mat, none of which were of the varieties in the house, walked over, and said with a smile: "Where did you pick so many roses?"
Ruoruo and Wu You hurriedly got up and saluted, and Ruoxi said, "Young Master, this wild rose was picked in the back mountain." ”
Dongfang Yixian squatted down, picked up a rose and said: "The rose water in the toilet is made of these flowers? I don't think it's like soaked rose water, but like quenched rose essential oil, how do you do it? Why don't you use the roses in the house?"
"How dare we pick the roses in the house without permission?" Ruoxi said: "There are a lot of wild roses in the back mountains, it is a pity to let them wither, we can pick them and stir-fry and distill, we can get flower water and a small amount of essential oil." The toilet was filled with rose water, and I gave them essential oils for moisturizing. Ruoxi glanced at Wu You with a smile and said, "They all like it very much." ”
"You actually know this method of refining essential oils?" Dongfang Yixian looked at Ruoxi in disbelief and said, "What about the tools? What do you use to refine it?"
"You take it and show it to the eldest young master. Ruoxi said: "We picked up a lot of broken copper and iron in the garbage heap, drew drawings, and asked the copper smelting master to build it, because the copper and iron given were enough to make two distillation utensils, and we promised to make essential oils for the coppersmith's wife, so although we had no wages, we also got the help of the coppersmith." ”
After a while, Wu You took out a large brass distillation pot from the utility room behind the toilet, which consisted of a heater, a water container, a large container for roses, a condenser pipe, and an oil-water separator above the water container.
Dongfang Yixian had never seen such a delicate mind, and looked at Ruoxi and said, "You drew the drawings?"
"Yes, this cauldron can not only refine essential oils, but also make wine. Ruoxi looked at the big copper pot and said: "Actually, we don't have enough raw materials, so we will give one to the coppersmith, otherwise we can make a bigger one, so that we can make a lot at one time." ”
"Whose masterpiece is that ingenious stone carving monster dragon? Can you also think of this trick of spitting water?" Dongfang Yixian only knew that Ruoxi was busy making toilets and seats in various toilets these days, and it was Yichen who told him, he allowed Ruo Ruo to toss at will, and was happy to see some new ideas appear in the toilet, but at that time, he didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, if this toilet had not been subsidized by a penny, the toilet would have been completely renovated.
"Young Master, I also participated in the production of this water spitting dragon?" Wu You hurriedly said: "And Xing'er, Xue Fei, Wanyu, we made it with Brother Ruo, if Brother Ruo said that the toilet for us is also equipped with a water spitting dragon, Master Liang is not allowed, saying that people are not allowed to use a grade of objects with the master, otherwise it will be disrespectful, so we didn't do it." You said with some grievances that she liked the water spit dragon very much.
"I didn't find any of you so clever. Dongfang Yixian said: "Where did you find the fluorite bone powder in the paper lantern?"
"In fact, bone powder does not emit light, and a powder of glass beads is added to it to make it have a phenomenon of light reflection, and it will glow. Painting on paper lanterns can act as a light source at night and save candles. Ruoxi smiled and said: "I also pondered for a long time, grinding a lot of bones, but they didn't shine, and finally found that this was the case." ”
"Interesting, Ruoruo, will you go back with me to take a look?" Dongfang Yixian glanced at Wu You and said: "From today on, you and Ruoruo don't have to work in the toilet, this toilet is already very beautiful, and if you leave your imagination to use your imagination, will you even move the dinner table?"
Ruoxi and Wu You both laughed when they heard this, Ruoxi said: "If you can transform the manure tank and make it into a pedal-type, double-layer flowing toilet, the urine and urine go their own way, and the wooden board mechanism is triggered by force to isolate the feces, and the toilet can really be very clean and has no peculiar smell." The manure then flows into the terminal manure tank and ferments into flower fertilizer accessories. In this way, the cost of manure and the purchase cost of flower fertilizer are saved, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. ”
"That's a good idea, you draw the drawings, and I'll let them renovate. I didn't expect that if Ruo Ruo was still a skilled craftsman, he could do a lot of small business at home with such a mind, why would he ·····?" Dongfang Yixian didn't continue, he saw Ruoxi hanging his head and was silent, and his expression was gloomy.
"The villain has to go up the mountain every day at home to collect medicine. Ruoxi took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said, "I don't have time to think about these things." "Xindao, even if I want to do it, I can't do it, and I will be beaten miserably.
"Your little head is full of weird ideas, I like it. Dongfang Yixian stroked Ruoxi's head lovingly, saw his short unkempt hair, and said, "Remember to keep your hair up." As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his sleeve, put it in Ruoxi's hand, and said, "This medicine is specially prepared by me at the Mingde Medical Center, and the pharmacist is specially prepared for you, and it is applied once a day, and the scar will disappear soon." ”
"Yes, thank you, young master. Ruoxi said softly, she was dizzy for a while, and felt that Dongfang Yixian's palm was so warm, like a beam of sunlight shining into the cold heart, and the whole person was very warm and comfortable. He also prepared the medicine for himself, Ruoxi's eyes moistened, and he followed Dongfang Yixian back to the courtyard in a trance.
The courtyard of the eldest young master, the courtyard of wisdom, rockeries, flower beds, fountains, pavilions and pavilions, all have them.
The courtyard of the second young master Dongfang Yichen, named Hongwu Academy, is behind the Wisdom Courtyard, the area is twice as large as the Wisdom Courtyard, but the rooms are much less, because the space is suitable for daily martial arts drills, so the daily morning exercises of the servants are carried out in the Hongwu Courtyard.
Ruoxi was arranged in the outer room of Dongfang Yixian, his room was large and elegantly decorated. Ruoxi smelled the smell of furniture and knew that the furniture in this room was all precious agarwood and rosewood, the same as the bed, couch, table and chair used by her father in her secret room. It's just that the carving of Dongfang Yat-sen indoor furniture is more exquisite, and the styles are more varied.
The outer room is generally used for guests, in addition to the large coffee table, comfortable chairs, and a large couch, usually Dongfang Yat-sen likes to lean on the couch to read books and drink tea. He has a collection of calligraphy and paintings of many celebrities, and if he doesn't know how to paint, he also thinks it looks good. Thinking of his secret room, Ruoxi thought, where there are calligraphy and paintings that don't cost money, it's not bad to find a few paintings to hang up.
At this moment, Ruoxi thought of the ancient feng shui books in the secret room, all about visiting the tomb and fixing the cave, and couldn't help but think about it. Secretly, there are a few calligraphy and paintings hanging in this room, and they immediately look very elegant.
Dongfang Yixian looked at Ruoxi's curiosity about everything, and said gently: "In the future, you will rest on my couch at night." ”
"Do we two sleep?" Ruoxi looked at a landscape calligraphy painting on the wall, and felt that the mountain painting was so realistic, surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it had dragon energy. Absent-mindedly said, she didn't care at all.
Dongfang Yixian was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "If you are a girl, you can consider it." ”
"Ahh·····h Can I sleep on the couch in the outer room?"
"Yes. Dongfang Yixian saw her appearance and smiled: "Do you have a problem sleeping with Asu? He doesn't snore at night, but he doesn't sleep honestly, such a spacious couch, sleeping alone, will fall down, fall to the ground, "bang", very scary. ”
"I ······" Ruoxi said: "I have slept in the yard since I was a child, rarely entered the room, and was in the wheat straw stack in winter. I can sleep in a tree, in the hallway, on the roof of the toilet······"
"You don't want to sleep with Asu, for fear that he will press you, then you can sleep with me. Dongfang Yixian said gently: "I sleep very peacefully. ”
"Shall I sleep on your floor?" Ruoxi looked at Dongfang Yixian and said, "If you are a subordinate, you don't dare to sleep with the eldest young master." ”
Dongfang Yixian smiled: "Looking at your skinny kitten-like figure, it doesn't take much space on the bed, since you don't want to go to bed, the floor will be yours." ”
"Thank you, young master. Ruoxi's hanging heart finally let go, whether it was outdoors with Asu, or with Dongfang Yixian, it made Ruoxi's heart tremble, and he felt a lot of inconvenience, he came to Dongfang Huafu these days, in fact, he slept on the Chase bunk in the servant's room for one night, and the rest of the days, he quietly slipped out and climbed on the tree and roof to sleep.
Asu has been serving with Dongfang Yixian since he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is very clever, seeing that Dongfang Yixian takes care of Ruoxi in every way, as if he is his own relatives, he talks and behaves, and he does not regard Ruoruo as a person at all. I felt very uncomfortable, depressed, and asked for leave to go home to visit, he hadn't been home for three years, and as soon as he mentioned going home, Dongfang Yixian allowed it. Let him go to the account office, and take the reward of the money, and visit him at home.
These days, Ruoxi has been busy renovating the toilet, just sleeping on the floor of Dongfang Yixian at night, going to practice as soon as the morning dawns, and digging the manure tank with the little guys after practicing kung fu. As soon as Asu left, Dongfang Yixian ordered Liang Zhenfei to greet Ruoxi and ask him to let go of the renovation of the toilet and serve by his side.
Ruoxi heard the call, hurriedly went back to serve, Dongfang Yixian wrote, Ruoxi studied ink. Smelling Ruoxi's smell, he said in his heart, this is in a hurry, I didn't go to take a bath, and I was embarrassed to say it directly, so I just said: "Ruoruo, Asu is home, you can go to sleep on the couch in the outer room." ”
Ruoxi didn't react at all, Wu You are tired of being by her side all day long, and you will say every day, Brother Ruo, you are so fragrant, she is used to it, and she didn't think at all what it would taste like to smoke by the big manure tank for a day.
"I'm used to sleeping on the floor, young master. Ruoxi looked at Dongfang Yixian, he was gentle and loving to her, like a big brother.
At this time, Xue Fei came in to serve and wash, Ruoxi saw her serving with a swallow holding a heart basin, practicing very well, with a beautiful posture and stable lower plate, Dongfang Yixian washed her hands quickly, and said: "It's really good, Xue Fei learns quickly, continue to work hard." ”
Xue Fei held the basin of water, saluted, and said, "Thank you, young master, Xue Fei must practice diligently." She took the basin and retreated, looked at Ruoxi, and made a look, Ruoxi immediately understood, found a pretense, and followed out.
Xue Fei walked to the corridor, saw that there was no one left and right, and whispered: "Sister Ruoxi, go take a shower and change your clothes, you have the smell of a manure tank." ”
