Chapter 330 Flower Dew Water
Zou Yu has been learning from the difficult period in later generations, and for the people to work for the government, he adopted the form of half money and half material rewards.
Like woolen clothes, coal, salt, iron farm tools, and now mosquito coils, all in the form of half wages and half rewards.
Each place has a slightly different form, such as Buyeo Castle, which is currently the richest among the common people (including Taka Ak. ), as well as several counties in Liaodong, which are directly distributed; The rest of the place is relatively poor, so the use of tickets, tickets stamped with the seal of the local government, just like grain and oil stamps, can be arbitrarily exchanged for clothes, salt and other materials.
Although the function is the same as that of coins, consumer items are fixed things, so there is still a difference between them and coins.
The common people welcomed this measure of the government, because the wealthy people could get more valuable goods than their wages; And the poor people can exchange for the supplies they urgently need at home. In this way, the social goods are more balanced and can be used in the hands of more people who need them.
The government used part of the money and materials to do the planned work, did a good job of the project internally, and produced more materials; There are more items to trade with.
The common people were paid, and they bought some normal goods from each other or the government, which enlivened the market. The coins are back in the hands of the government, which can be described as a multi-task.
Compared with mosquito coils, flower water is much more troublesome, first of all, Zou Yu is not familiar with this thing, but he knows that there is wine in it, and there are essential oils of mint, camphor tree, honeysuckle and other flower dew blended with distilled water.
Wine should be highly alcoholic, and Zou Yu has always opposed a large amount of brewing because of the lack of food. However, now that the territory is wide and there are more materials, sorghum is a coarse grain that is just used to make wine, and the sake lees continue to feed the livestock, and Zou Yu remembers that the wine lees is a kind of feed that pigs and cattle love to eat. It is also said to be better than ordinary weeds, so not only does it not waste it, but it also kills more birds with one stone.
There are people who make wine, and as for purifying the wine, this thing is also easy to do.
I made a large vat directly out of copper, then connected a copper pipe to it, put the wine into the barrel, and steamed it all the time. On top of the tube, keep pouring cold water on it slowly. The alcohol in the barrel evaporates into a mist that fills the middle of the pipe, and when it is stimulated by cold water, the temperature drops, and it becomes a liquid, which flows with the pipe into the jar on one side.
"What a fragrant wine!" Zou Yu's follower Xi Jun buy, his nose twitched, and his eyes widened to look at the wine jar.
"Uh-huh!" Yang Yu, who was wearing civilian clothes, nodded again and again.
Zou Yu saw that these two little guys had actually drunk, but it was not surprising to think about it, the weather in the north was generally cold, and drinking to keep out the cold was a normal thing, and the people around him were like this, under the influence of the ears and eyes, it was not surprising to drink a few times, as for Yang Yu, it is estimated that he had secretly drunk in the palace.
Young people have rebellious thoughts, and adults do it, and they always want to do it secretly.
Looking at Zou Yu's gaze, the two smiled weakly, and hurriedly pretended to be serious and looked at it honestly.
"Look at it! It's up to you to do this in the future. Zou Yu said to Yang Yu.
Bringing Yang Yu out to do things, the first requirement is not to reveal his identity, nor to have privileges, Xi Junmai and others only know that his name is Yang Sanlang, and he studied with Zou Yu.
"Yes!" Yang Yu was a little excited when he thought that this was the first thing he did alone.
The two of them looked curiously at Zou Yu commanding his subordinates, putting mint, camphor branches, and honeysuckle into several other copper barrels.
This time it was much slower, and it took more than half an hour of steaming before drops of water dripped into the jar below.
A fresh scent of mint and the smell of camphor trees slowly spread and rushed straight to the nostrils.
"What a scent! It's much better than a sachet. Yang Yu squatted down curiously and said in surprise.
"You've got a vision!" Zou Yu said with a smile.
Toilet water and perfume, in some respects, are almost the same, including the way they are made, but the formula is different, and a stabilizer is added, which Zou Yu has heard from a girl before.
"Prime Minister, do you mean this can be used as a sachet?" Yang Yu asked with a roll of his eyes.
"Of course you can, you see first! Let's try it out yourself in the future! Zou Yu nodded and said.
"Hmm!" Yang Yu seemed to have discovered a new world, nodded with interest, and observed more carefully.
"It smells so good! What are you doing here? As the fragrance became stronger and stronger, Bai Suhua smelled the smell and came over and asked curiously.
"A good thing, you'll know when it's made." Zou Yu said with a mysterious smile.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zou Yu walked over, stretched out his fingers, dipped a drop of wine, tasted it with his tongue, felt the spiciness, and nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that there were already a lot of materials, Zou Yu took a large bowl, poured the wine and essential oils into an empty jar in a certain proportion, sealed the mouth, and then asked several guards to hold and shake.
The proportion of each jar is slightly different, because Zou Yu doesn't know the specific proportion and formula, so he has to experiment a few times to pick out the most suitable ratio and recipe.
"Hee-hee! What are they doing? Hei Sumei, who had just come over, looked curiously at more than a dozen guards, standing in the courtyard holding the jar and shaking, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
Zou Yu looked up and saw that the guards were shaking and their bodies were writhing, and he was quite happy, and he couldn't help but smile. It's really a group of big men with five big and three thick, twisting their bodies there, no matter how you look at it, it's a little awkward.
Bai Suhua couldn't help but smile, and Xi Junmai and Yang Yu almost laughed down.
"Laugh at what! You also have a share, take it and shake it. Zou Yu added two more jars and added a little musk to them.
"Ahh Yang Yu and the others didn't expect that they wouldn't be able to run away, so they had to walk over with a sad face, pick them up and shake them.
After waiting for another half an hour, Zou Yu asked them to stop, open the jars one by one, first smell the smell, and then apply a little to the skin, feeling the difference between them.
"It smells so good!" After the shaking jar, after it was opened, the smell was even stronger, Hei Sumei exclaimed, ran to Zou Yu's side, and glanced at the jar placed there.
Refining essential oils, the taste is too heavy, and there is a little pungent feeling, and the inside of the jar is blended, the taste is much more elegant, not only Hei Sumei was surprised, but the soldiers who shook the jar just now couldn't help but sniff hard, stretching their necks, wanting to see what they looked like when they shook for a long time.
