Why did Gao Li choose so many gardenias? Because although there are many flowers, there are very few aromatic essential oils that can provide aromatic substances. Gao Li remembered, he once saw a column called the Book of Prosperity. It is said that one ton of roses can only refine about 100 grams of aromatic essential oils.

That's it, 10,000 catties of gardenias. It can only refine a pound of aromatic essential oil. In Gao Li's view, a pound of aromatic essential oils is actually very little. He had to be well prepared for this perfume experiment.

And not only gardenias, Gao Li also plans to use things like orange peels to complement the fragrance of perfumes.

Modern aromatology is an extremely mature and complex science, and the top perfumes that have managed to rise to the top of the world all contain incomparably complex aromas. Not to mention catching up, even if you want to imitate it, it is extremely difficult, Gao Li also has self-knowledge. All this has just begun, and he doesn't plan to make himself a chanel from another world as soon as he comes up.

There are a lot of aromatic substances and a lot of good-smelling flowers, but why did Gao Li choose gardenias? Because according to his experience in raising flowers in the countryside in his previous life, gardenias are about the only flowers that smell too much and will not cause headaches. Other flower species are either mildly toxic or smell too much and cause insomnia. This must be because the aromatic substances in it are irritating to the human body. The difference between gardenias, the sweet fragrance of gardenias, is not only good, but also very delicious.

Ruan Suya couldn't understand Gao Li's request for 10,000 catties of gardenias when he came up.

You said that the development of new dishes, gardenias, is not an uncommon flower in the Central Plains. From the south to the north, a variety of varieties can be seen, and it is often found in the mountains. Not to mention, outside Yannan City, there are a lot of gardenias, but there are not many flowers blooming now.

So what exactly does Gao Li want these gardenias to do? Dealing with Gao Li for a long time has already made Ruan Suya understand one thing. Whatever Gao Li wants, it will definitely become very valuable, even if you don't understand why it has become very valuable now, it will definitely become very valuable in the future.

And how to negotiate a very good deal with Gao Li before it becomes very valuable, this is the job arranged for him by Nguyen Su Ya's father, Prince Nguyen Wei Wu.

As the Central Plains says, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. Ruan Suya's biggest problem is that she doesn't understand, Gao Li went to Beijing and went to Western Xinjiang, why did he suddenly come back and ask for gardenias, is there any inevitable connection between this?

If you can't figure this out, how can you ask her to ask Gao Li for a price?

What are the characteristics of gardenias? Then the only clue related to the smell is that the jellyfish who came back with Gao Li and them brought back a bunch of stinky things.

Wait a minute, isn't this Gao Limo planning to use this pile of gardenias to cover up the smell?

The more Ruan Suya thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. After all, if you want to mask the smell, there is nothing more suitable than a gardenia, which is fragrant and beautiful.

But 10,000 catties, so many gardenias. Isn't it too wasteful to just cover up the smell of stinking and roasting, but what is that stinky thing?

No, no, no, no. Ruan Suya suddenly came to her senses.

Gao Li's judgment must not be superficial, he can always turn what you think into something else, and then sell it for a high price. Chocolate is that, and so are the tires he makes, not to mention sugar made from sugar cane.

Ruan Suya felt that her wisdom was not enough, and no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out Gao Li's plan. That being the case, he simply set a very high price for these gardenias.

"These gardenias, I want ten thousand taels of silver. Ruan Suya gritted her teeth, relentlessly, and said this to Gao Li.

"Uh-huh. Gao Li agreed directly.

I'm just an idiot.

Ruan Suya responded in her heart.

I have to be a big idiot who hasn't seen the world.

Ruan Suya repeated in her heart.

Gao Li didn't think about it when he heard this price, so he directly agreed, explaining that the value of this thing was far above this ten thousand taels of silver. What is this? It's a gardenia, it's all over the mountains, and it's not worth a penny.

Ruan Suya thought that she was already very black-hearted, and she set a price of one or two silver a pound for the gardenia. But Gao Li didn't think about it, so he agreed, then he planned to sell this gardenia at a high price.

No, he definitely didn't intend to use the gardenia to hide the stench, he definitely wanted to turn the gardenia into something weird, something very expensive.

And is this thing for food or use?

Ruan Suya was very distressed and thought about it for a long time. In the end, he decided to give up, because the price had already been set, and it didn't matter to him what she thought at this time.

"Then arrange for someone to harvest as soon as possible, I'll use it urgently, okay?" Gao Li said.

"Don't worry, I'll contact my father. Ruan Suya said. It's just that she regrets it very much in her heart, but there is no way. After all, a pound of gardenia for one or two silvers, this price is already very scary. Maybe you can try it next time, two taels of silver a pound?

Entrusted with the task of harvesting gardenias, Gao Li returned and immediately began to design the distillation equipment for aromatic essential oils.

The reason why flowers have a fragrance is because the flowers contain volatile aromatic essential oils, which can be dissolved in lipids, adsorbed by fat to form balm, or dissolved by organic solvents such as alcohol, of course, the easiest way is to let it accelerate the volatilization of essential oils through high-temperature steam to form an oil-water mixture, and then separate the aromatic essential oils through an oil-water separator.

Gao Li had seen this set of distillation equipment on TV before, and it should not be difficult to recall it carefully. Nothing more than a huge steamer, distillation column, condensing equipment, and collection and separation equipment. The principle of the oil-water separator is not complicated, and there is such a device in many mechanical equipment. In Gaoli's equipment, the aromatic essential oils and water are separated by an oil-water separator located at the very end of the equipment.

This is the end of the preparatory work for the manufacture of the perfume, leaving the mechanical manufacturing to the professionals. Now Gao Li has to worry about something else.

That was the trip of the Suncheon Legion to Yanan.

According to Zuo Lin's previous statement, ten members of the Shuntian Legion came to Yanan, which is not a good phenomenon. Especially at this time, Gao Li had some other preparations in Yanan, and if the Shuntian Army was involved, it would inevitably disrupt his arrangements. Therefore, he planned to send a letter directly to Prince Nguyen Van Vhuo, asking him to help investigate the affairs of the Suncheon Legion. As a result, before the letter could be delivered, Prince Nguyen Van Vou's handwritten letter had already been delivered. In addition to the polite greetings, this letter told Gao Li that he had noticed that the Suncheon Legion had entered Yanan and had begun to make frequent contact with the princes. As the closest prince to Gao Li, Nguyen Weiwu is not among them.

This aroused the idea of Nguyen Va Vou.

Later, Ruan Weiwu asked some people around the prince through his own connections to verify, but the answers given were very vague, and almost no one could say what these Shuntian warriors were doing in Yanan. Moreover, they did not stay in Yanan for long, and after coming into contact with the major princes, they quickly left, and then disappeared.

The good news is that Prince Hochai is among them. It's just that so far, Prince Hochai has not had any contact with Ruan Weiwu, and he has not sent a letter to Gao Li, which makes it difficult for people to understand his thoughts.

After reading the content of Ruan Wenwu's letter, Gao Lin could almost understand the intention. Zuo Lin once said that the Suncheon Legion intends to establish its own base in the East China Sea and continue to produce Suncheon warriors. If that's the case, maybe they plan to replicate this in Yanan and create a Shuntian warrior in Yanan?

If that were the case, Gao Li would never allow them to succeed.

Subsequently, Gao Li wrote a handwritten letter to Prince He Chai . The autographed letter did not mince words, bluntly expressing his concern about the Shuntian warriors, and asking Prince Hochai why these Shuntian warriors visited him.

However, a miraculous thing happened, he had just finished writing this letter, and before he could send it out, He Chai King Qin's handwritten letter also arrived.

Gao Li found that these two princes had the same problem, that is, they did not make a move until the last moment, and you had to wait for me to finish writing the letter before you sent it to me, so you couldn't have come earlier?

Unfolded the letter and looked at it twice, and Gao Li laughed out loud.

The purpose of these Shuntian warriors is no different from Gao Li's guess.

They are here to create more Suncheon warriors. To this end, they approached many princes and told them that they had a way to defeat Gao Li, and that they could use their influence in the Central Plains to hand over the deal between Gao Li and Prince Nguyen Van Van Vu into their hands.

It has to be said that this article is very attractive to all princes. After all, the transaction between Ruan Weiwu and Gao Li has made countless people covetous. Now that someone has finally come to the door, willing to avenge them, and can even get a piece of the pie in the future trade, who can not be tempted by the same prince?

It's just that these Shuntian warriors chose the wrong target, and they instinctively thought that there was a contradiction between He Chai and Gao Li, and looking for He Chai would definitely get his support. But what they didn't expect was that He Chai had actually been on the same boat with Gao Li for a long time, and he had gained a lot from his business dealings with Gao Li. In this case, it is inevitable that he will not betray Gao Li. And all the people who have been in close contact with Gao Li, most of them agree with the fact that Gao Li is so strong that he is almost invincible. Anyone who wants to trouble Gao Li will be in bad luck.

So He Chai decisively gave up the wooing of the Shuntian warriors and told Gao Li everything he knew.

Gao Li thought about it, maybe it was time to cultivate a force close to him in Yanan's territory.

For example, the little Empress.
