Chapter 214: Refining Perfume
'Uncle, why can you refine perfume like this?' Ah Mao asked very strangely, you said that this alcohol was originally in wine, and wine is also a kind of water, but the spice is not Ah. How to put these spices into water and steam them to get perfume?
'What do you want?' Li Chen asked with a smile. Now Ah Mao is starting to have a headache. Li Chen ignored them, and took a group of female students, as well as some male students who were interested in physics, to continue refining spices.
According to the perfume movie, there are three ways to extract the fragrance. said that there are three kinds, Li Chen feels that they are actually all one, distillation method.
The difference is that some are steamed with water. Some water cannot be steamed, so it can be soaked in alcohol and then distilled. The last one is particularly stubborn.
In the movie, the actor has a special nose and is very talented in perfumes.
No, Li Chen denied this idea again, if it were in modern society, he would have been arrested and shot a long time ago. In order to extract the most perfect perfume he imagined, he killed many women.
In order to preserve the fragrance of the woman's body, he went to learn how to make perfume. However, the first two methods could not extract the fragrance from the woman's body, so he went to a perfume capital to study, where he learned the ointment method.
It is to cover the object of the harvest with oil, wrap it in linen, and finally put the balm soaked in fragrance, mix it with alcohol, and distill it. You can extract that flavor. Of course, they don't need such a troublesome way now, they can just use the alcohol to refine it with great difficulty.
'Wow, that's so good. Ah Xiang took a small bottle, sniffed it carefully, and immediately cherished it and put it away, not letting it go. That's what they got after a long day.
'If you like it, I'll give it to you, now I'm going to deliver it, save some use, and after this time, you can use it more.' Li Chen touched Ah Xiang's head with pity, the child is older, and he begins to like to dress up, but they have always been very sensible and don't spend money much, like some girls like rouge gouache, they are also a few people together, pay for it together, and then save it. Now that they can refine it themselves, let them use it luxuriously.
'Uncle, how much can this be sold for?' The big head is worthy of being the big head, and the things are in her hands, and she is also in a hurry to use them. But she didn't cherish it like others, or wiped it on her body immediately, she sniffed it carefully, thought about it, and took the stupid baby away, and the two muttered for a long time before asking Li Chen, how much can this be sold for?
'Should... It's not cheap, is it? Li Chen didn't know how much to sell, he didn't know much about the spice market, "It's okay, this is to be delivered, give it to someone first, and then ask the expert to see how much it is." It's okay if you don't understand, anyway, there is someone who knows how to do it.
That's it, it's something that has been refined by a certain family. Li Chen went to supervise the work yesterday, and today he hurried up and finally drove things out.
'What is this?', Suleiman's face is not very good-looking, what the hell is this? Didn't you say spices? Spices can be found in bottles.
'Try it, pick it up.' Li Chen demonstrated, Su Xiaoxiao on the side, reacted quickly, pulled out the cork on it, turned the bottle upside down, and soon a drop of crystal jade dew flowed out, and the aroma came out, "This is?" It's so fragrant. ’
'Really, what is this?' Suleiman immediately complied, and then asked in amazement, 'Perfume, this should be a substitute for spices, right?' ’
'This thing.... Suleiman hesitated, 'How does this work?' Will it be too little. Su Xiaoxiao was very happy, she had a natural hobby for new varieties of spices, "Will this bottle be too small, and the taste is not easy to diverge." ’
This thing is not used like ordinary spices. Li Chen picked up a bottle, poured out a little perfume, wiped it on his wrist, then rubbed his wrists, and made a little bit behind his neck and ears.
Just a little bit, don't use too much, so it lasts. The use of perfume is different from the spice that the Tang people are used to.
The spices obtained by the Tang people are solid, and if they are used, they should be lit in the incense burner. If you bring it with you, too
Again, it's just a sachet to carry around.
There are people in these areas who have blood vessels, and they only need to be wiped a little bit in these places to last for a long time. Li Chen explained. For perfume, you only need to gently touch a few parts of the human body to last for a long time, so this small bottle can be used for a long time.
The small bottle is carefully designed by Li Chen, with a long mouth and a gourd-shaped. The long bottle mouth can be blocked with a wooden cork to prevent the perfume from leaking, and then the gourd mouth can be used to control the flow. If it's dumped, it may flow a lot, but if you just flip it upside down, the flow will only be a little bit.
No way, I originally wanted to design a spray. To be precise, modern perfumes are sprayed and sprayed in the right place, but in this era, how do you want him to do a nozzle? There is no way, this is the only way.
'Good stuff. After listening to Li Chen's explanation, Suleiman's eyes sparkled, as if he had found a strange treasure, but if he wanted to say this, it was okay, "This thing must be able to replace spices." I'm going to tell the customer, and the customer will be happy to accept it. ’
It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, you can replace a lot of spices, and then you will have less to fulfill the contract. Maybe it's better not to accept it, this perfume is obviously better than spices, and in the long run, maybe the price will drop to about the same as spices.
However, in the short term, as long as the technology is still in Li Chen's hands, the price will not be reduced. Even, when he first came out, the asking price could even be higher than the price of his fried spices. Otherwise, just take this thing to auction, and then use the proceeds to buy goods.
For a moment, Suleiman thought a lot, thinking about the price of perfumes, thinking of perfumes for spices, and even taking the perfume to auction it, and then buying it from other firms, or changing spices, other chambers of commerce may not sell him, but he must be very interested in changing some to study.
Su Laiman was in a daze, Su Xiaoxiao was too, holding perfume and smearing it on his body, looking very rare, Li Chen saw the appearance of the father and daughter, and simply admired the Su family leisurely.
'Ahem. Li Chen tasted the tea, enjoyed the scenery, and saw that the father and daughter still looked like they were in a trance, so he coughed twice and woke people up.
'Haha, that's rude. Su Laiman smiled heartily and apologized, "A certain family wants to put these things on the auction for a few days, I don't know what Li Jun wants?" ’
'Auction, has it been decided?' Of course, with Su's status in Yang Zide, it is quite easy to recruit some rich people. Suleiman smiled reservedly. In exchange, Li Chen pouted disdainfully. (To be continued.) )
