Chapter 10: The Big Killer "Flower Water"
The two Baifu family members took turns shaking for two hours as if they had Parkinson's disease.
Two hours later, Gu Bei went out of the room and faced the two family members, and said with a smile: "It's okay, go find Qing'er to receive the reward." ”
As Gu Bei took over the porcelain vase, the two family members were relieved, their hands were still shaking unconsciously, and after receiving the reward, they thanked Gu Bei and left.
Gu Bei took the porcelain bottle, wrapped the mouth of the bottle with several layers of cotton, filtered out all the scum in the alcohol, and poured it into a small bowl.
Gu Bei looked at the liquid in the bowl that was golden and crystal clear, and finally made the first bottle of flower water in the world.
Gu Bei asked Qing'er to find a transparent glass bottle.
Qing'er looked at him blankly, and as Gu Bei explained and gestured, Qing'er understood.
"Uncle, you're talking about glass, right?"
"Yes, yes," Gu Bei looked at Qing'er with hopeful eyes.
"Uncle, Liuli doesn't have the transparent and exquisite little bottle you said." Qing'er spoke.
"Na Qing'er, do you know who in the city will make this glass?"
"The maid doesn't know, the maid only knows that this kind of glaze is rare in the whole Xia country, and I heard that it came from some Bosi country in the west, and the name of this country is really strange."
"It's the Persian state." Gu Bei corrected and shook his head in disappointment.
"Uncle, you've heard of this country too!" Qing'er asked curiously.
Gu Bei nodded noncommittally.
Helpless, Gu Bei could only let Qing'er find a round and beautiful little porcelain bottle to fill the flower water.
Gu Bei poured out a little and applied it to Qing'er's wrist for Qing'er to smell it.
Qing'er suddenly felt a burst of coolness on her skin, and with it, a quiet and elegant fragrance surrounded her body.
"It's so fragrant!" Qing'er looked at this small porcelain vase with bright eyes, and felt extremely surprised in her heart.
To say that in this era, the rich and aristocratic class also pay attention to incense and incense, but it is all the fragrance formed by burning simple spices, which has a trace of pyrotechnic gas, and it is kept for about a day at most. How can there be such a volatile and elegant fragrance.
Only Gu Bei understood in his heart that although the toilet water he made this time seemed simple, it was actually very powerful.
Because the best things in it are two things: millet and ambergris!
These two spices, their effects are diametrically opposed. In addition to the fragrance itself, the effect of the fragrance is to make the fragrance disperse quickly.
After the ambergris is aged, it not only has a strange fragrance of its own. And it can also make the fragrance of the fragrance it blend retain for a long time.
Because ambergris is extremely slow and lasts for a long time, it cannot be compared with any other spice. In Western countries, there is a saying that "ambergris coexists with the sun and the moon"!
Considering that Bai Luoshi had not yet given birth to a child, Gu Bei deliberately reduced the proportion of millet to a very low level.
But the combination of these two extremely precious natural fragrances creates a strange fragrance that is still far from the level of the top perfumes of the 21st century, let alone in this era.
After Gu Bei told Qing'er about the efficacy of the flower water, she still used the flower water as a perfume.
Qing'er hurriedly wiped two more times on her body, spraying the fragrance she smeared. Reluctantly, he handed the small perfume bottle back to Gu Bei.
Qing'er's pitiful envious expression swirled between Gu Bei and the perfume bottle, Gu Bei knew it in his heart, scratched her little nose dotingly, and said with a smile:
"Don't be wronged! Little girl, my uncle doesn't know you yet, this time it's just a test, and the materials have run out. After saying that, he spread his hands.
Seeing Gu Bei scratching her nose dotingly, Qing'er's face suddenly flushed, and she said shyly: "Oh, my uncle is so good, the maid will go and buy the materials back now." After saying that, he ran out of the courtyard gate and disappeared at once.
Gu Bei gently stroked the small perfume bottle in his palm, as affectionate as his first love, and hummed: "As soon as this big killer comes out, I won't believe it. I can't convince you..."
Not long after, Qing'er bought the formula materials back, and Gu Bei concocted them in the same way, distilled them on fire, shook them, filtered them, poured the golden liquid into several small bottles one by one, and finished the work.
Gu Bei looked at the more than ten bottles of perfume on the table and nodded with satisfaction. Except for Qing'er taking one and one shun, these are all silver!
Tell Qing'er not to tell Bai Luoshi first, and take the rest of the perfume back to the room.
In the blink of an eye, it was another ten days, and the book "The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon" had been published in thirteen volumes, and the plot was gradually getting better, and gradually set off a "Great Sage" craze in Yingtianfu.
The story of the great sage following the Tang monk to learn scriptures from the west tugged at the heartstrings of countless people, and Yingtianfu went down to children and young people were fanatically pursued.
For a time, Ying Tianfu, whether it was a well-educated person in a deep robe or a young student, whenever they got together, they all talked about "The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon"...
Some young students wrote nursery rhymes and asked them to sing:
Tang Seng rode a horse and knocked that dong,
followed by a Monkey King.
Monkey King, run fast,
followed by a Zhu Bajie.
Zhu Bajie, with a long nose,
followed by a sand monk,
Monk Sha, carrying a basket,
An old witch followed.
......
There are praises and depreciations, but whether it is praise or depreciation, the sales of the book "The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon" are even more popular.
Gu Bei was in the mansion, so naturally he couldn't hear the sound outside, and when everyone had mixed opinions about "The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon", he counted the account books in the room, and after the calculation, he closed the door and sat on the bed to count the money.
Ying Tianfu really has no shortage of rich people, and so many people buy one volume of five hundred texts, it is estimated that when all thirty volumes of "The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon Descending" are published, his business start-up capital should be enough.
Bai Luoshi suddenly pushed the door in, and Gu Bei hurriedly put away the silver ticket on the bed.
Bai Luoshi glanced at him, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't want your money." ”
Since Gu Bei gave her the flower water a few days ago, when she took the bottle with joy, her eyes were like little stars, even if she was born in the family of the official eunuch and saw a lot of good things, she had never heard of such good things.
When she was having a party with the little sisters, the little sisters smelled the fragrance on her body and gathered around her to ask where this thing came from.
Hearing that it was a gift from Gu Bei, the eyes that looked at her were full of envy, and they came to her to ask for it, which greatly satisfied Bai Luoshi's vanity, who didn't care about this.
Bai Luoshi was happy, and she also withdrew her words about confiscating Gu Bei's private money, and her attitude towards Gu Bei was much better, as if she recognized her husband, she no longer had a cold face when she spoke, sometimes Gu Bei told her a meat joke, and she also smiled with a blushing face.
This made Gu Bei can't help but sigh, a big killer is a big killer, he knew that this flower water could melt the iceberg of Bai Luoshi, he would have made it a long time ago. Leather. Life has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard. Gu Bei clenched his fists.
Gu Bei approached Bai Luoshi with a smile and said with a smile: "Lady, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, is your little sister looking for you to ask for flower dew again?" ”
The flower water made by Gu Bei and Qing'er before was all taken away by Bai Luoshi, and it was a beautiful name, others call you brother-in-law, and you are not allowed to give others some meeting gifts. Gu Bei couldn't cry and laughed, and hurried out another batch of flower water.
Bai Luoshi was accustomed to Gu Bei's actions of approaching her, and said: "Three days later, the three princes held a flower-viewing poetry party, inviting the princes and nobles, the children of the official eunuchs, and the talented sons and daughters... Enjoy the flowers together, and you will go with me when the time comes. ”
Gu Bei asked curiously: "Lady, why did you let me go too, if you don't go, can't you go... Ahem, what is this flower-viewing poetry meeting? ”
Bai Luoshi coquettishly whitened him, and said helplessly: "The flower-viewing poetry meeting is not anything, the third prince will let you be there by name." ”
Gu Bei touched his nose, yes, the three princes have all been named, and it won't work if you don't go, this flower-viewing poem is estimated to be to appreciate the flowers, compose poems, and just enjoy the flowers if you go.
It was rare to see Gu Bei deflated, Bai Luoshi's heart was secretly refreshed, and she said with an arrogant face: "Go, just talk less and see more, don't embarrass me." After speaking, he turned around and smiled leisurely, and walked out.
