Chapter 950: Cleaning the Petals
Datang does not have a particularly high purity perfume yet, as for the most basic fragrance powder and other cosmetics, there are quite a lot, however, due to the concentration, the fragrance of these basic items is not strong enough, far less than the wonderful feeling brought by high-end perfumes.
Therefore, Ang Lee has every reason to believe that as long as a high-concentration perfume is made, it will definitely be widely popular in the circle of aristocratic women in the Tang Dynasty, and the sales in the future will not be less, and it is a project that can make a lot of money.
As for the materials and methods of making perfumes, Ang Lee is very clear, only needs to be made with flower petals and a small number of ingredients, and it is pure natural and harmless to the human body.
As for how many flower materials are needed to make a bottle of perfume, Li Ang has not tried it, so it is not very clear, but it is always not wrong to prepare more flowers, if it is not enough, it is also very simple, just send some more soldiers to the mountains to pick, it is military training, just let them have a big meal afterwards, the soldiers are very simple, and there will be no opinions.
At dusk, all the soldiers filled their baskets and closed the lids.
Because a large number of flowers are gathered together, the fragrance is still very strong, and every soldier walking by his side can make Li An smell a faint fragrance.
However, some soldiers are not very adaptable, and feel that the old man is holding a fish basket full of flowers, and he is always a little awkward, so he will unconsciously put the fish basket behind him.
"The soldiers have worked hard, send the chrysanthemums back to the official's mansion and set off."
Li An waved his hand and led the team back to his mansion with a smile.
When passing by the crowd, many people looked at the team behind Li An curiously, these soldiers actually each held a fish basket, but the fish basket did not exude a fishy smell at all, but exuded the fragrance of chrysanthemums, isn't it strange.
The key is that the fish basket has a lid, and after the lid is tightly closed, you can't see what's inside, plus many soldiers are afraid of losing face, so they cover the fish basket tightly, and you can't see what's inside the fish basket from the outside.
"It smells so good! I seem to smell the scent of chrysanthemums. ”
"There must be chrysanthemums in the fish basket, and I can smell the fragrance of chrysanthemums."
"I feel it too, but why are they picking so many chrysanthemums?"
"When they came down from the mountain, it was definitely not to catch fish, it should be chrysanthemum."
"It's strange that so many soldiers go to the mountains to pick flowers! What are you going to do? ”
Passers-by were confused by Ang Lee and the team behind him, and they all stood on both sides of the road and looked at the team in a daze.
"Aaron is back."
The servant who guarded the door hurriedly greeted him.
Li An looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Everyone go to the middle road, put the fish basket in the backyard, and you two lead the way." ”
After saying that, he walked through the main gate and entered the house, ready to rest first, and then, began to make perfumes.
"Husband, you're back so early."
Yan Ruyu was walking in the yard and saw Li An coming back, so she hurriedly greeted her.
"What, wouldn't it be nice to come back early?"
Ang Lee smiled.
"Okay, of course, if only my husband could come back so early every day."
Yan Ruyu smiled, full of the charming atmosphere of the first woman.
Li An looked at the courtyard, found no one else, and asked, "Where did they all go to Hanlu?" ”
"They all went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense, and they haven't come back yet, so it should be soon!"
Yan Ruyu said and came over and took Ang Li's hand, her expression was very expectant.
Li An naturally understands Yan Ruyu's needs, she wants to be coquettish, she wants Li An to hug her well, and coquettish begging for hugs is not just the patent of children, adults also have such needs.
"Come, Ruyu, let's go sit in the pavilion."
Li An said very gently, and took Yan Ruyu's hands and went to the pavilion next to him.
Lying in Ang Lee's arms, Yan Ruyu was gentle like a cute kitten, letting Ang Lee gently caress her cheeks, with a very enjoyable expression.
"After so many years of marriage, my Ruyu is still so young and beautiful, her skin is not old at all, she is still so bright and soft, tsk."
Li An stroked Yan Ruyu's pink cheeks and said dotingly.
Later generations said that after two people have been together for a long time, there will be the so-called seven-year itch, as for what is the seven-year itch, Ang Lee can't say well, after all, in his previous life, Ang Lee was a person who had no marriage match, and he had no experience in this area.
After coming to Datang, Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu have been together for almost seven years, but Ang Lee did not feel the so-called seven-year itch at all, but became more and more affectionate, perhaps because Ang Lee has more wives and many maids who can relieve boredom, so life is not very lonely, and there will be no so-called itch, of course, Ang Lee feels that the reason is that Yan Ruyu is too reasonable and gentle, and he has always been so young, and he feels that Ang Lee has not changed at all.
The reason why later couples will have the so-called seven-year itch is entirely because after getting along for a long time, all the shortcomings that were originally covered by love have been exposed, and these shortcomings will make their other half very dissatisfied.
"My husband has been so handsome and chic for so many years, he hasn't aged at all, and he is more mature and stable than back then."
Yan Ruyu said with a look of adoration.
Li An leaned down and gently kissed Yan Ruyu's face, and then took the opportunity to put his hands into Yan Ruyu's dirty clothes and gently stroked them.
It's been a hard day at work, and Ang Lee wants to relax himself in this way, because stroking a woman's body is really very comfortable, and it makes Ang Lee unable to extricate himself, and he must touch a woman's body every night, otherwise, he can't sleep.
You don't want to snap, but stroking is a must, and their wives will not object to being touched by Li An, this is their obligation, and Li An's skills are so good, stroking makes them comfortable at the same time, it also makes them very happy.
"Husband, it's so itchy! No. ”
Yan Ruyu bit her lip lightly, her expression seemed to be quite painful, but in fact, it was an indescribable happiness, the expression of pain does not mean real pain, sometimes, the expression of pain is a sign of happiness, this child doesn't understand!
Of course, Ang Lee will not stop because of Yan Ruyu's begging for mercy, because many times, don't be a kind of rhetoric, the more people who say they don't want it, in fact, the more they want it very much, and they want it very much.
However, Ang Lee's caress didn't last long, because soon they heard the voices of Tang Er and Han Lu, and they had already arrived in the middle courtyard.
Li An hurriedly helped Yan Ruyu to stand up, wiped his slippery hands, and then went to greet the returning family together.
"Father, father......"
When Tang Er and the three of them saw Li An at home, they all ran over happily and threw themselves into Li An's arms at once.
"Wow! Hello little darling! Hahaha! ”
Ang Lee picked up all three children in one breath and kissed each one on the cheek.
"Father, you smell so good!"
"Chrysanthemum fragrance, it's chrysanthemum fragrance."
Maybe it was because Ang Lee was contaminated with too much pollen when he walked among the chrysanthemums, and it hasn't completely dissipated after so long.
"The little baby is so smart, that's right, it's chrysanthemums, do you like to play chrysanthemums."
Ang Lee asked with a smile.
"Father, chrysanthemums are watching, how to play!"
Tang Er asked.
Li An smiled and told him: "It's so stupid, can't you just pick off the chrysanthemum petals one by one." ”
"Okay, I'm going to pick chrysanthemum petals, I'm going to pick chrysanthemum petals."
Tang Er is at a naughty age, he likes to play very much, and as soon as he heard Li An say this, he was about to start playing, and there happened to be some chrysanthemums in the yard, which were blooming vigorously.
"Tang'er, don't pick it, stop for me."
Yan Ruyu stepped forward and stopped Tang Er.
"Mother, father have all said, let me pick chrysanthemum petals, I listen to my father."
Tang'er is a big ghost, and he actually used Ang Li to suppress Yan Ruyu.
"Husband, these chrysanthemums are all precious flowers, they are so beautiful, how can they be destroyed?"
Yan Ruyu asked very incomprehensibly.
"Husband, we don't agree either, in order to take care of these flowers, we have spent a lot of energy, we can only let Tang'er and them harm?"
Li Hanlu also disagreed, and won the support of the two behind him.
"No, no, I'm going to break the petals and play."
Tang Er actually made a fuss, you must play.
Li An smiled, looked at the few maids behind Li Hanlu, and said, "You call some more people, go to the backyard and bring the chrysanthemums I brought back here, and in addition, bring some flat bamboo baskets." ”
"Husband, it turns out that you brought chrysanthemums from outside, which scared me."
Yan Ruyu pulled Tang Er tightly and said with a smile.
This turned out to be a false alarm, Ang Lee did not want to destroy the chrysanthemums in the yard, but brought a large number of chrysanthemums himself.
It didn't take long for a large number of fresh chrysanthemums to be delivered to the inner courtyard and placed in the open space, and the maid also brought a dozen large bamboo baskets.
Li An looked at everyone and said, "All the women in the family, as long as there is nothing to do, can come over and sort out the chrysanthemum petals, pick off the chrysanthemum petals one by one and put them in the bamboo basket, hard work everyone." ”
"Okay."
Tang Er didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and rushed over directly and started working.
"Tang'er, slow down, remember, you must clean up the weeds, and you, don't work yet, you have to learn like Tang'er, haha!"
Li An said happily.
When everyone heard the order, they began to disperse their work to clean up the unclean things on the chrysanthemums and ensure the quality of the final product perfume.
However, the process of making perfume is not only the process of cleaning up debris, there are many processes behind, and according to different production processes, the quality and taste of the perfume are different, that is to say, Li An is also groping, and he himself is not very clear about how high the concentration of the final fragrance can be, but as long as he can conquer a few ladies in the family, he will definitely be able to meet Yang Yuhuan's requirements.
"Husband, haven't eaten this bowl of rice yet? What the hell are you doing with so many of us cleaning up wild chrysanthemums! ”
Yan Ruyu is not too active in her work, after all, her status is relatively high, so she naturally can't work as hard as a maid.
Li An opened his mouth and said: "The task is relatively heavy, let you practice your hands first, and then work for a while after eating, it should be enough for tonight's experiment." ”
"Experiment with petals? What exactly does the husband want to do? ”
Li An naturally wouldn't tell them so readily, so he smiled and said softly: "Madame, don't worry, after I make it, you will naturally know." ”
"Don't say it."
Yan Ruyu was a little emotional.
Li An didn't care, just coax it later, but Tang Er, the little ancestor, soon caused trouble for Li An again, although he was the most active, but at the same time he was also the most mischievous, at the beginning, he could still pick the petals in a regular manner, and he got tired of playing for a while, so he began to destroy the petals at will, and the good petals were destroyed by him into patterns, and even, he put the petals in his mouth and bit them, and the petals were full of saliva.
"Tang'er, you come over to me, I don't want you to work, look at what you have made the flowers look like."
Li An angrily reprimanded.
"No, I'm going to play."
Tang Er was very disobedient and continued to spoil the chrysanthemums, playing with nonsense.
Li Ang is also very helpless, this is the nature of a child, if he is forced not to play, it will inhibit his nature, which is not conducive to the child's development.
In addition, there are many chrysanthemums, and you don't need to care too much about a small amount of loss, and it doesn't matter much if you lose a little.
"Okay, little ancestor, all the chrysanthemums in this fish basket are for you to play with, you come here for me, don't interfere with other people's work."
Ang Lee grabbed Tang Er and asked him to play aside.
Although the little guy is a little reluctant, he is also helpless, who made him too weak to resist?
After working for a while, it was time for dinner, Li Ang asked everyone to eat first, and after eating and resting for a while, they continued to work, and at the same time asked the manservant to bring water over, and carried out a simple cleaning of the petals, washed off the dust, and then could proceed to the next step.
"Husband, you make so many chrysanthemums, is it for bathing, but roses are generally used for bathing, and no one will use chrysanthemums."
Li Hanlu said.
"For bathing, you think too much, aren't you?"
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Husband, what is this for, tell us!"
Li Hanlu couldn't help it anymore and asked.
Li An smiled and said, "Don't worry, at most tomorrow will be successful, you just wait one more day, what's the hurry." ”
After speaking, he looked at a maid and said, "You go to the front yard, find a few more people, clean a few large garlic mortars and bring them." ”
"Ah Lang, this is to make flower mud! Garlic mortars are used. ”
Cao'er said with a smile.
Li An smiled and said, "For the time being, it is indeed making flower clay, but this is not the final result, you will be able to see the product tomorrow." ”
