Zi Ning thought of the raspberries in the yard behind the pulp washing room, which can be used as a spice, as well as the most common pine and cypress seeds in the Huanyi Bureau, this thing is easy to take care of, and it does not fall leaves in winter, although it looks solemn, but it is all dependent on it in winter, the whole yard is a little angry, and it will not be barren and infiltrated, there is one outside her house, and there are a lot of green and green sprouts at this time, and the pine and cypress sprouts are the best for spices.

Zi Ning remembers that there is a civilian spice in the book, green cloud incense, its materials are convenient, are common flowers and plants, that is, the process is more complicated, not ordinary people can do it, the preparation method is exquisite, although it is a civilian spice, but not everyone can use it, more than some can not afford to buy precious incense and in a small place to have some face of the lady to buy and use, is made of pine and cypress dogwood, raspberry, lemongrass, but the smell is a little strong, she thought about adding some azalea juice to adjust it, neutralize the taste, if the yard can still find ice grass would be better, Add some to the incense powder, which is not only fragrant but also makes the skin smooth, refreshing and cool, which is more suitable for those palace maids.

The incense-making process is complicated, repairing, processing, steaming, boiling, baking, soaking, and burning every step can not be wrong, and the cooking utensils are not in order, Zining has to try first and then make plans.

The citronella needs to be carefully subdivided, the branches and weeds are removed, and then soaked in sesame oil for two days to make it fully exude its own aroma, and then it is steamed in a flat bowl, heated with water, and its medicinal properties are adjusted.

The pine and cypress needles need to be fully dried under the sun, steamed and crushed with water, and fried over low heat with a wooden chopstick, fried until they smoke and turn yellow, remove their peculiar smell, and make them fragrant.

Dogwood and raspberries should be watered. Take its young leaves and crush them, put them in a mortar, add water to grind, then extract them through water, dry them and grind them, and they become them.

Finally, the half-processed spices are mixed together and a little rhododendron juice and ice grass juice are added. The ice heart grass is indeed difficult to find, it was obtained by Zi Ning in the miscellaneous courtyard, a total of five were found, three were used, and two were left, just waiting for it to be fed and used in the future. And the rhododendron juice is not much, and there are only those plants in the Huanyi Bureau, Wen'er is afraid that she will be found out if she picks too much, so next time she will see if she can change the peach blossom juice pear blossom juice, Zining has never used peach blossoms, so it doesn't hurt to just give it a try.

Finally, the mixed incense is steamed again through water before it is ready.

And this incense-making method, it took Zining four days of hard work to make half a bowl of bowls, embroidered into small bags with rags, and wrapped the bag, there were seven or eight bags.

"It's really fragrant, it's almost the same as what I bought in the incense shop, I must try it first." Wen'er fiddled with some fine powder and put it in the palm of her hand, she could smell a fragrance without getting closer, and there was some mint in the fragrance, but the taste was lighter and farther than mint, she had never smelled this kind of fragrance, so she couldn't help but pat it on her body.

This fragrance powder can not only increase the fragrance, but also have a lubricating effect on the skin, and the whole person will feel comfortable after smelling": fragrant but not greasy, this must be robbed crazy by those girls. You've done so hard to do this, and if you don't sell a small bag of it, you feel like you're losing money. ”

Zi Ning smiled: "You are a lion with a big mouth, our monthly silver is only twenty yuan, and the older palace maid is only twenty-five yuan, and at most it will not exceed thirty yuan, even if this incense powder is good, who is willing to buy it for ten yuan of silver, and a pack of silver can be sold for five yuan of silver. Leave one bag for Aunt Qiao, there are still eight small bags left, if they are all sold out, they can also get forty yuan, which is a month's worth of silver for the two of us, and we are not satisfied? ”

"That's what you said, I'll take these incense powders tomorrow to show those sisters in the courtyard, some people are willing to buy them, and we will prepare to make more." You said the incense powder was called? ”

"Green Cloud Blessing Corn Starch, because it is made of pine and cypress needles, it was originally called Green Cloud Fragrance in the ancient law of making incense, and I added two flavors of rhododendron juice and ice heart grass to make it have a skin-friendly effect, so I got this name."

"Green Cloud Blessing Body Fragrance Powder...... I remember, the name is so elegant, I'll say that tomorrow,"

"You don't have to say that you are leaking and shaking out all the ingredients."

"I'm not so wooden, you still don't believe me," Wen'er pouted: Even if they know the raw materials of incense powder, such a complex process, not everyone can make it, it is estimated that you are the only talented woman in this courtyard who has this ability. ”

"Don't laugh at me, it's not too early, go to bed quickly."

Wen'er nodded, carefully put away the incense powder, and then climbed into bed.

On the second day, Aunt Qiao opened the small cloth bag, a fresh fragrance came to her face, the palace will give the aunt in charge of incense powder and the like every month, but this taste is different, much more elegant than the usual incense powder, the smell is very good, the upper body tried it, she was so satisfied that she nodded again and again, "What a clever mind, what a skillful hand, the perfumer in this palace is just such a craft, can use such an ordinary thing to make incense powder, I have a treasure." ”

Zining was praised embarrassed, ": Only the godmother likes it, the godmother has the grace to take care of me, Zining has nothing to reciprocate, only these gadgets can show their hearts, I hope the godmother will not dislike it." ”

"You are modest, how can I dislike such a good thing. As long as you don't delay your work, you can make some such things with you, and if you want to be discharged from the hospital to find any flowers and plants, just come and tell me. But it's okay to pick, don't be greedy, it's also a trouble to let those eunuchs catch the handle. ”

When Zi Ning heard Aunt Qiao say this, she obviously acquiesced in her behavior, and her heart burst with joy, "Yes, I will stop in moderation, I will not cause trouble to my godmother, and I will definitely finish my part." ”

With Aunt Qiao's nod, she no longer had to sneak around to find vanilla.

After returning to the house, Zi Ning hurriedly mended his clothes, preparing to squeeze out more time to develop spices. Rhododendron is seasonal, there are not many in the yard, and it cannot be picked more, Zining is ready to find some alternative flowers and plants.

Wen'er was sent by the older palace maid to get clothes outside, and she was left alone in the house.

After a while, Wen'er came in happily, and before she could take a breath, she said happily: "Those sisters just like the smell of me, and when I take out the incense powder, someone immediately asks for the price." As soon as I heard me say five dollars of silver, I told them that these herbs are not easy to obtain, maybe that's all, if they are remade later, it will be more than this price, as soon as they heard it, they took out the silver one after another, and the one that I didn't grab was specially entrusted to me to keep it for her next time. ”

"Really!" Zi Ning was very happy when he heard it: "Just your ghost elf, you really have nothing left?" ”

"You still don't believe me?" Wen'er took out the silver and shook it in front of Zi Ning, "Look, what is this, it's all white silver" Wen'er was so happy that she almost danced with her hands.

"Look at what makes you proud, I'll ask you to sell it next time."

"I'm so happy!" Wen'er was blessed and jumped up and down to fetch water and drink.

Zi Ning sat down with peace of mind and continued to mend her clothes, which was fine. (To be continued.) )
