Chapter 60: Refining Essential Oils
"I know some of the methods of refining essential oils, but the best is to use flowers as raw materials, and I will talk to the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau in the city in a few days, and help me bring some flowers back when I go to the dart next time, I will try."
It is normal to use flowers to refine essential oils, but this fruit cannot be extracted.
"But it's not impossible to make balsam from grapes, and it would be nice to be able to make frosted salt." Du Jiu also began to think about it, but unfortunately this is ancient times, and there are not too many things.
"It's okay, you study this essential oil, and leave it to me as for the scrub salt and balm, as well as the mask and bath spices." Zhou Xinzhi nodded, she had almost learned a little bit of these when she was bored before, so it shouldn't be a problem.
"Tsk, I'm a little curious, what did Xiaoyou do before? How do you know so many things, and I don't seem to have heard of your name. Du Jiu had this name before he wore it, so he guessed that Zhou Xinzhi was the same.
Not to mention Du Jiu, even Du Lisheng, who had been silent on the side, felt a little curious.
"Brother, if you've heard of my real name, you're not far from death." Zhou Xinzhi raised her eyes and made a sealing motion, although Du Lisheng didn't understand, but Du Jiu instantly understood, swallowed her saliva nervously, and looked at her with more fear.
Who would have thought that this little woman who looked soft and glutinous would be a killer in her last life!
"Come on, I've said everything I need to say, and then I'll bother you to help, I'll come back in two days, and you can just clean up the things in the shop in these two days."
Zhou Xinzhi ate the last piece of pastry and got up and left satisfied.
After leaving, Du Lisheng curiously leaned into her ear and asked, "What did the lady do before, why was he so scared when he saw you later?" ”
"Ahem, this." Zhou Xinzhi rolled her eyes, "I worked in the hospital before I was born, and I was similar to Wei Qingsui, but there are many people who died in the hospital where I live, so she is so afraid of me." ”
The man doesn't know anything, who can't talk nonsense, as for her true identity, forget it, she is afraid of scaring the little minister at home.
Before going home, the two went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables, and remembered that there was no candied fruit at home, so Du Lisheng went to the stall to buy some candied fruit, and the two were ready to go home.
"Ahh Zhou Xinzhi suddenly remembered something, and grabbed Du Lisheng, who was walking forward, "Look at my memory, it will be my father's birthday in a few days, and we have to prepare some gifts." ”
Although Zhou Fugui did not stop Zhang Juhua from bullying the original owner, if he encountered any good things, he would bring them to her to try them, that is, to be honest and cowardly, and it was not a big sin.
But it is difficult to give anything, you have to choose a father who can use it, and you have to pay attention not to ask Zhou Bilian's mother and daughter to rob them for money.
"It's better for the lady to give your father-in-law a set of clothes, and the new clothes also represent a new beginning." Du Lisheng suddenly remembered that when he went to Zhou's house before, his father-in-law was wearing some tattered clothes.
It's really ironic, this father's clothes are in tatters, but the youngest daughter is clothed and fed, and the hairpins on her head don't know how to sell a few to honor her father.
Shaking his head and sighing, if it weren't for it, he really hoped that the little lady would have nothing to do with this family.
"Good idea, Dad's dress really hasn't changed for a long time." She nodded, agreeing with him.
Because Zhou Fugui still has to go up to the mountains to hunt on weekdays, the fabric of the clothes can't be too good, and it's too good to wear it on the mountain and it's useless to buy it, so she went to an ordinary ready-to-wear store.
Because today she and Du Lisheng are still wearing the same clothes that they used to enter the orchard, so they look a little shivering, and as soon as they enter the door, the little girl looks disgusted, as if he is a beggar who enters the door.
"Eh, I said you little guy, how can you be picky and picky?" Zhou Xinzhi couldn't be angry in her heart, what was going on with this person, she was here to spend money, and she actually had to suffer this white eye.
"Go and go, go to other places to ask for food, we don't allow people to come in here." The little guy glanced at the two of them, and after finishing speaking, he was about to pick up the broom and drive people away.
Zhou Xinzhi was a little speechless, and looked around, the clothes in this store were not very good, at most they were medium, but this little dog's appearance of looking at people really made her dislike.
"Xianggong, I see that people don't welcome us, let's go to other houses to buy it, anyway, they can't make any money like this." She snorted, turned and left the shop.
"Bah, pretending, look at your poor sour appearance and know what you can't afford." Xiao Xiaohuan looked at the two people in front of him with disdain.
He saw that the other party was carrying a basket on his back, and he was wearing such unclean clothes, and the fabric was not as bad as the worst one in the shop.
Where can this person afford it, and when the time comes, he will have to grind and bargain, and he will be annoyed to death.
Zhou Xinzhi didn't ink with him, and went directly to the next room, the person in charge of receiving this shop was a girl, who spoke softly and gently, and glanced at Du Lisheng's gaze from time to time with shyness.
"I'm sorry, I was just careless." The little girl collided with her gaze, and explained in a panic for a while, and her face was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, my husband is handsome, and it's normal to be looked at, why don't you recommend the fabric to the two of me, it should be suitable for working in the mountains, it doesn't need to be too expensive, but it must be comfortable."
Zhou Xinzhi doesn't mind, this little girl's eyes are pure and clean, just simple appreciation, not as disgusting as Zhou Bilian's, so she doesn't take it to heart.
"Okay, okay, Mrs. can take a look at this ready-to-wear, the fabric is soft, there is no discomfort in doing work, and it is also suitable for these dog days, the material can absorb sweat, but the price is higher, it costs two taels of silver, if you think it is not suitable, you can look at this one, although the fabric is also soft, but the ability to absorb sweat is much worse......"
The little girl worked hard to introduce her and gave her advice from time to time.
"Okay, this ready-to-wear will help me find two pieces, one is thinner and one is suitable for my husband."
As soon as Zhou Xinzhi finished speaking, Du Lisheng opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, "Lady, you don't need to buy any clothes for your husband, I have clothes." ”
She smiled, "I didn't give you so many clothes, I didn't earn any money before, but now that I have earned it, I naturally can't forget you." ”
Zhou Xinzhi motioned to the little girl to get the clothes, and the matter was decided.
Before leaving, the little girl also gave her a bag with a hundred years of good luck.
"The two guest officers came to the shop, this is also a little heart, I wish the two white-headed old men a lot of love."
Du Lisheng was also very happy when he heard this, his eyebrows and eyes finally smiled, and the little girl who provoked him blushed even more.
Zhou Xinzhi took the sachet, and when she passed by the shop she had entered before, she deliberately said at the door, "Some shops are destined to make no money." ”
After speaking, he left with two sighs, which caused a pain in the shop.
I knew that these two people were so generous, so he wouldn't have done that, and now the business has not opened, if the shopkeeper knew, he would definitely not be able to spare him.
With clothes, Zhou Xinzhi and Du Lisheng went to another shop to buy two pairs of shoes, one pair for Zhou Fugui's birthday, and the other pair for Du Lisheng to wear on weekdays.
"Lady, otherwise we won't go in two days, just deliver the gifts." Du Lisheng has been restless since yesterday, and he has been afraid that something will happen when the time comes.
"If you don't go this time, there may be thousands of calculations in the future, so it's better to solve it directly." She didn't want to go, she had to waste time with those people, but she didn't want to go, and some people couldn't agree to it.
Du Lisheng naturally knew her concerns and sighed, he really felt sorry for the little lady.
was calculated by her mother and sister, and she was bent on destroying her, no one would believe her if she was a relative, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was an enemy to this extent.
After returning home, Zhou Xinzhi went directly back to the bedroom, while Du Lisheng went to the stove room to prepare dinner.
"Xiao Tongzi, how about preparing a dagger for me?" Zhou Xinzhi sat at the table with her little head propped up, and went to deal with Zhang Juhua and them, it was really not good if she was not fully prepared.
"Master, it is not appropriate to carry a knife with you in this era, and the system does not provide lethal weapons."
“……?” Zhou Xinzhi just quit, "Then why did you change an iron rod for me last time?" ”
"A normal woman can't even mention it, and it wasn't redeemed by the master, but I lent it to you temporarily."
Zhou Xinzhi's face turned red and terrible, what does this ghost system mean, she is not a normal woman?
"!" She waved her hand irritably, she was too nervous at the time, and it was understandable that she was in a hurry.
"Gotcha."
Zhou Xinzhi has the illusion that her system is becoming more and more scoundrel, but there is no way, she will have to rely on it in the future.
Since she couldn't exchange the dagger, she tried to be as careful as possible, and quickly called for help when she saw that the situation was wrong, hoping that Du Lisheng could call people in time.
I really don't know when this day of you fighting with me will be the end, lying on the table, Zhou Xinzhi was tired for a while, she really hoped that time could pass slowly.
But no matter how slow it is, on the day of Zhou's father's birthday banquet, Zhou Xinzhi was in a lack of interest, and she was much more reluctant to get up than before.
Du Lisheng looked at the little lady like this, and he liked it tightly in his heart, so he couldn't help but tease it a few times.
"Why don't you go there today? I'll help you deliver the gifts. Du Lisheng put on his coat and looked at Zhou Xinzhi, who was still lying on the bed, and said.
Zhou Xinzhi suddenly stiffened a carp, "No, if I don't go, it will be more troublesome for me to wait for me in the future, so it's better to cut through the mess quickly." ”
