The next thing to do is to extract a variety of essences, you must know that whether it is soap, shampoo, perfume, it is impossible to leave the fragrance, so it is also a very important step to extract a large amount of fragrance.

Under the current conditions, it is impossible to synthesize chemically, and only distillation and extraction can be used to extract suitable flavors, which is of course a very complex and lengthy process.

Li Yi ordered various types of glassware such as laminated sieve plates, condensers, glass conduits, and beakers from Lin Qingliang according to his needs.

Now the flowers in Yunnan in winter are mainly rhododendron, osmanthus, angelica, herb leaves, camellia and other varieties, I started with these kinds of flowers, and began the road of flavor refining.

In fact, the technology of extracting flavor is not complicated, mainly because the process of material selection and repeated distillation takes too long, and the time and heat must be mastered more proficiently.

Therefore, Li Yi took Guo Xiaoshuang and Nanfang, and after dozens of repeated trials, he finally extracted a fully qualified essential oil, so that no matter what kind of cosmetics he made in the next step, he was at ease.

Like soap or something, it's too simple. As long as a certain proportion of lard, caustic soda, pure alcohol, saturated brine, etc. is configured, through mixing and stirring, heating and evaporation, saponification and salting out and other processes, the condensation and cutting are completed.

If you want to make soap, just add the appropriate amount of flavor during the mixing stage. The soap or soap produced in this way has basically reached the level of production in later generations, and it is the supreme product of this era.

The production of shampoo is relatively complicated, because the production of shampoo requires surfactants, pearlescent agents, foaming agents, brighteners and other chemicals, and now these conditions cannot be met at all.

Therefore, Li Yi used a folk recipe that he knew before, which is to use soaphorn, tea tree wither, soapberry bark, and Polygonum multiflorum as the main raw materials, boil them in a casserole over a slow fire, let them cool and filter out the slag, and then add filtered rice water, black bean water and light salt water to mix and use, among them, black bean water is rich in amino acids, and it can also increase the black brightness of the hair, and the effect of decontamination and dandruff is very good, but the suppleness is worse.

Another recipe is to use soaphorn (big soaphorn), soapberry peel, tea powder, Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, Polygonum multiflori, ginger, and black lotus, which is also cooled and filtered out of the slag, and then added to the filtered rice water, black bean water and light salt water to mix and use, the effect is also very good.

Due to the increasing number of pilot projects, Li Yi's daily affairs have been seriously affected.

Therefore, through Lin Qingliang, Li Yi selected Lin Run, a thoughtful, intelligent and smart young man in the Lin clan, who is also Lin Qingcheng's youngest son and Lin Jin's younger brother.

Li Yi taught him all these production methods hand-in-hand, and asked him to conduct in-depth experiments and production according to the production process and material ratio provided by himself, so as to get the best results.

After a period of observation, he found that Lin Run was ingenious, like his brother Lin Jin, he was very good at using his brain, and some of the cosmetics he had explored and tested couldn't be made by himself, so Li Yi was even more relieved.

When all the experiments are completed, Li Yi will ask Lin Qingliang to set up a 'Zhenghe Beauty Workshop' to produce soap, soap, shampoo, and perfume on a large scale.

Soon, Ning'er was already past the full moon. Li Pian sent news from the capital, last winter and October Gengchen, the lord of Fujian was really killed by his younger brother Wang Yanhan, although the news was very tightly blocked, but the Han still got the real news from other channels, in this regard, Li Pian's prediction ability to Li Yi can not help but admire.

The second news is that two years after the death of Empress Ma, Emperor Liu Yan finally appointed Xie Yiqing as a virtuous concubine to assist King Qin's mother, Zhao Guifei, in leading the inner palace.

This Xie Yiqing is very good at poetry and songs, especially good at painting figures, is a talented woman who is known both inside and outside, and has a gentle temperament and a kind heart, and takes good care of King Hongchang of Yue, who is also good at poetry and writing, and it seems that King Yue has a strong arm in the palace.

The third news, that is, the final result of the martial arts competition that Li Yi has been thinking about a long time ago, finally came out.

That's a good thing! Li Yi has been wondering! It's been more than three months since the martial arts competition, why hasn't the results been announced! Liu Huang and the others also delayed in the capital according to the requirements of the Ministry of War, and did not dare to leave, is this to engage in some kind of balancing cat!

Li Yi guessed so, and the result really made him guess correctly.

According to Li Pian, after Liu Yan got the results of the martial arts competition, he did not announce them on the spot, but asked the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War to seal the results of the competition, and they were put on the shelf.

It wasn't until the court banquet of the Lantern Festival that Liu Yan officially announced it, but it was very different from the actual result of the competition.

As a result of this martial arts competition, one of the commanders of the Generalissimo's Mansion of the King of Qin was the champion of the martial arts competition, and was thus appointed as the deputy commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion of the Generalissimo's Mansion. Lin Tong won the second place and was appointed as the deputy commander of the Shenwu Battalion of the Forbidden Army, stationed in the Imperial City.

The third was an officer named Feng Yi from Lingnan Dongdao, who was also appointed deputy commander of the Yingyang Battalion of the Forbidden Army.

And Liu Sichao, who had the highest voice in the Jin Palace, only won the fourth place, lost his qualification to serve as the commander of the forbidden army, and had to be appointed as the assistant commander of the Flying Bear Battalion.

Li Pian turned over this time, and finally got the seventh place as he wished, and his status in the guards and pro-army rose a lot, and he was directly promoted by Liu Yan to the foreman of the imperial guards of the Qinzheng Palace, and his grade suddenly jumped to the sixth grade.

Liu Huang, who was selected by Yunnan, did not disappoint, this time he won the ninth place and was appointed as the assistant commander of the Eagle Yang Battalion of the Forbidden Army. Pan Chongche's appointment was very unexpected, he was sent to Lianzhou as the deputy envoy of regimental training with the twelfth place, which was directly facing the forefront of the Chu State.

As for Ling Feng's defeat, Li Yi was not surprised, hehe! Have you taken all the good things?

With Lin Tong, Li Pian, and Liu Huang in charge of the Beijing Division, and Pan Chongche leading troops outside, the strength of the Yunnan Department has become much stronger, and this result has made Li Yi very satisfied.

And Ling Feng is good at light skills and hidden weapons, like those who arrange troops and fight in front of the battle are not his strong points, anyway, the unsuccessful personnel will be promoted to the next level when they return to the local area, Ling Feng will not be too disappointed if he thinks about it!

Because the imperial court has set an unprecedented reward for this martial arts competition, it has attracted unprecedented attention from both inside and outside the court. Although only the top 12 are admitted in this martial arts examination, as long as they are ranked in the top three in the martial arts examination, they will be directly awarded the rank of five ranks, and they will serve as the deputy commander of the newly formed 12th Battalion of the Praetorian Guard, and take on the heavy responsibility of defending the imperial city, and their status is of course very important.
