Chapter VIII Contribution
In this time and space, from princes and nobles to ordinary people, they also have the habit of using spices to deodorize and improve the environment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoPeople who are more particular about it will put Jiang Lizhicao Qiulan and other herb support sachets on their bodies, and there are "men and women who are not crowned" in the "Book of Rites... They all admired the smell, and they were cool and cold, and asked what to eat and drink. "Special regulations have been made to elevate Pei Xiang to the level of civility and politeness. It means that minors are wearing sachets to greet their elders. In addition to the basic sachets, incense, incense powder, incense pills, incense cakes, and balms all act on different positions and occasions.
Perfume, there must also be here, in recent years, the liquid perfume rose dew from the Western Regions has been loved by dignitaries. Rose dew is not made of rose flowers, but more jasmine flowers are soaked in water in a secret method to replace the dew, the smell is fragrant and fragrant, and it does not disperse for several days. This dew is mostly produced in Fanbang, and is monopolized by exotic merchants and large merchants, and is expensive and profitable. Once this exposure appeared in the market, not only the ladies and wives flocked to it, but also the nobles who paid attention to their own image, but also rushed out.
Chen Susu's efficiency was very fast, and the next day he had already placed the personnel in the workshop of the Imperial City Root in accordance with Yang Zhen's requirements, which were more than a dozen strong men from good families, in addition to obeying Yang Zhen's arrangement, they also had the meaning of being responsible for vigilance. After all, perfume can really be made, it can quickly monopolize the market, and it will be popular throughout Daxing, without a certain strength, it will only become a fat sheep in the mouth of others.
Yang Zhen selected many petals and put them in a large sealed furnace to fumigate them with water, and only a long iron pipe led to another iron can. The steam slowly turns into condensate in the tin can, which collects into the bottle. After standing for a few hours, you can see the oil-water stratification, and the upper layer is the essential oil layer.
After several repeated trials, Yang Zhen found the right ratio, gently extracted the essential oil into a small jar, and Yang Zhen was ready to return to the palace. The rest of the work is simply repeated by the workers.
"Masters have worked hard these days, we have a small gift for everyone." After saying that, a bottle of high-quality spirits that had been distilled and purified flew in front of the workers' eyes.
As soon as the seal was gone, a pure aroma of wine spread throughout the room, listening to the gurgling of everyone's Adam's apple. Yang Zhen laughed, knowing that he was leaving. Sure enough, as soon as the door was closed, there was a scramble of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
Chen Susu lowered his head and sniffed the intoxicating peerless fragrance in the vial, which was not at all comparable to the so-called rose dew. Just about to sprinkle it on his shirt slightly, he was stopped by Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen took the vial, the internal force shook slightly, the full bottle of perfume had evaporated into mist, and a very gentlemanly guided Chen Susu through the perfume rain. "This is the use of the rich and generous family, a bottle is only used once."
Chen Susu spun around in the rain, closed his eyes and felt the long-lasting aroma, and was even a little drunk.
"I don't quite believe you're a eunuch. How could a eunuch have so many ways to please girls? Her wandering eyes looked at Yang Zhen carefully, and she touched him with a red face.
Yang Zhen took a step back, dodged Chen Susu's salty wet hands, and said with a smile: "I am not only good at pleasing girls, but I am also very good at pleasing men." After speaking, he also told Chen Susu about making alcohol.
Highly liquor! Only the princes and nobles can purify it in their own airtight cellars, relying on the slow fermentation of time. Each bottle of high-grade liquor represents the origin and heritage of the family, and only the family has a happy event or a distinguished guest is willing to taste its taste.
The world's famous wines are recorded, and every time a good wine comes out at home, it is also a great joy for the family.
Most of the famous liquor recorded in Kyoto is among the princes and nobles and high-rise shops.
Concubine Zhu's celestial alcohol, Empress Zheng's Yaochi, and Zhao Guifei's Yingyu.
Cai Taishi Qinghui, Wang Taifu Anointing, He Dazai Qinxian, Kaifeng Mansion Meicheng.
Yuxian Lou jade liquid, Hele Lou elixir, Zhongshan Yuanzi store Qianrichun, Jiang Zhai Yuanzi Zhengdian lamb and so on.
Behind these famous wines, all of them are the embodiment of strong background and endless financial resources. If a family with no background comes up with a new low-cost and simple-to-make peerless wine, I am afraid that it will be eaten by the evil wolves who swarm in an instant.
Chen Susu did not become happy because of another cash cow, but immediately called her confidant palace maid Qiuyun and ordered her to go out of the palace with a letter to ask her father to mobilize people to guard the workshop and prevent news from leaking.
"If you only produce a hundred and eighty urns a year, I don't have to be nervous, now you can make a large number of urns with a flick of your hands, which not only offends the wine-makers, but also attracts greedy nobles. Although my family is a wealthy businessman, there is also a danger of being destroyed. As the only son of the General's Mansion, you are used to being flattered on weekdays, how do you know the suffering of our merchant family? Chen Susu looked at Yang Zhen, who was a little puzzled, and said the seriousness of the matter.
"I see, it's just that the two of us can even give up and sell ourselves, how is the small wine party worth the trouble and effort of you and me, it is better to give it to the nobles, and it will have a lot of background and talismans." Yang Zhen made a choice in an instant.
"That's right, but who this wine-making technique is dedicated to has to be considered in the long run." Chen Susu nodded yes when he heard this.
"If you want to be a backer, who is the one in the palace? Instead of fornicating with the foreign minister and arousing the suspicion, it is better to directly dedicate it to the heavenly family, with his support, it will never be taken away, and it can also be loved by him, and it is not difficult to mention the grade. ”
"So good, the wine party is dedicated to the emperor, and the perfume party is dedicated to the little princess. It's all your stuff anyway, and I'm happy to be generous. Everything in the world is a stepping stone for our ascent. Chen Susu's thoughts were clear, and he became unrestrained again.
"When you and I control the world, we will definitely change the status of merchants. Let the wealth of the world become our faithful lackeys. Yang Zhen said one of the ideas for the future.
"Oh? You're more than I want. But... I like it. Chen Susu looked at Yang Zhen deeply. She originally wanted to make her own development and make her family strong, in the final analysis, it was just a change of day, but now that Yang Zhen said this, it made her a little eager to try, what can be compared to turning this world upside down and interesting enough?
Yang Zhen smiled and stopped answering, after all, he was just a little eunuch next to a nobleman now, and it was not interesting to talk too much.
Yang Zhen immediately thought about it, he was now in prison, and without a strong background, he could only improve his strength. I am confined to this place these days, and there is no way to talk about saving people and killing people, and there is no income from any good and evil points. If you find someone on the street to kill you, not to mention that the system will definitely not allow it, even you can't get by. So looking for opportunities, you have to practice hard by yourself, and first raise "Tong Zigong" to the third layer, and then you will be invulnerable, and it will be difficult to die.
"These days, I want to improve myself, at least at the lotus meeting, I have the strength to protect you and me. Don't bother me if anything happens. After saying that, he went to the inner room and retreated.
