Chapter 123: Lao Tzu is really a fucking genius
According to Qin Baichuan's instructions, the monkey moved a lot of things purchased in the afternoon into Wanhua Xiaozhu and left on his own, Qin Baichuan said hello to Aunt Hu, took out pine oil and flint from the kitchen, moved a few green bricks in a corner of the yard, and built a simple stove, next to the stove put a large bucket of water and a wooden basin.
In fact, Qin Baichuan's plan is very simple, it is nothing more than to use the characteristics of ascetic grass with holes and strong adsorption capacity to make a simple facial cleanser. Qin Baichuan's idea is not groundless, in fact, in his modern hometown, after the function of ascetic was discovered, many well-known beauty chain groups have made a large number of acquisitions of ascetic, becoming the preferred material for making high-end beauty products.
I'm afraid that modern consumers will never know that the main materials of consumer goods such as facial cleanser, nose strips, and adsorption masks that they spend one or two hundred yuan to buy back are so cheap and common. However, business things are like this, not to mention that if you break a thousand dollars, you won't sell it, and if you break it, it's worthless at all.
Qin Baichuan didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, and after the preparations were ready, he lit an oil lamp and took out a thin prescription from his arms to look at it carefully. In the afternoon, he visited a number of pharmacies and rouge gouache shops, and learned about the face washing products commonly used by Dasong people.
What surprised Qin Baichuan was that he underestimated the ability of the ancients to create a zào. Everyone has a love for beauty, and it is even more vividly reflected in the ode. During the visit, I learned that Dasong cleanses the face in two ways, those women from poor families wash their faces with rice washing water, and long-term accumulation can also ensure the elasticity of the skin; In addition to washing rice water, the ladies of those big families also use egg whites, honey and the herbs prescribed by Lang Zhong to wash their faces and compress their faces, which can also keep the skin fair and smooth, so there are words such as "skin is like cream" in the idiom.
This result is a mixed blessing for Qin Baichuan, the worry is that Dasong people already have facial cleanser in their daily lives, and there is a special rouge gouache mill to make zuò, and the competition pressure is quite high; Happily, Da Song's acceptance of facial cleanser is quite good, and after adding ascetic, his products will definitely be better in terms of effect, and he may be able to break a good way.
The prescription in his arms was summed up by Qin Baichuan after many comparisons, and the reason why he chose to add some medicinal materials was nothing more than to cover people's eyes. With the help of the prescription, Qin Baichuan opened the medicinal herb packets one by one, threw the medicinal materials into the pot according to a certain proportion, boiled over high heat, and slowly boiled over low heat, and after a while, Wanhua Xiaozhu was filled with a pungent medicinal fragrance.
While using the flame to slowly burn off the excess water, Qin Baichuan walked to the small stone mill he bought, poured two large handfuls of grass seeds into the hole, turned the stone mill wooden handle, and crushed the grass seeds like flour before carefully pouring them into the small bowl on the side. After doing this, Qin Baichuan picked up a few more packets of powder, mixed them with grass seeds according to a certain ratio, and compared them quietly.
After returning to Wanhua Xiaozhu, Qu Xi lay in the room for more than an hour, feeling that he had rested enough, so he got up to take a shower and change clothes, and inadvertently opened the curtain and saw Qin Baichuan's busy figure.
"Po Hu, it's so late, isn't he sleeping?" Coincidentally, Granny Hu brought her a bowl of ginseng soup, and Qu Xi asked, "What is he doing there?" ”
"I don't know, Qin Xianggong has been tinkering there since he came back." Granny Hu's voice was gentle, and she said with a smile: "The old man went over to ask just now, but he was driven away by Qin Xianggong...... He only said that he wanted to make something to help Miss earn more money. ”
"That's nice." Qu Xi snorted lightly and said, "Meng Xiaoling has been frightened in the past two days, maybe he is helping her make chicken soup." ”
"Miss, I think you're confused." Granny Hu grabbed Qu Xi's little hand and said with a wry smile: "Where will the chicken soup smell of medicine?" Hey, the old woman shouldn't be too talkative, but I heard some things about Qin Xianggong and Miss Meng from the old man......"
Qu Xi's face turned cold but he didn't speak, and Granny Hu continued: "In the eyes of the old woman, Qin Xianggong is indeed at fault, but if you think about it seriously, you can't blame him all. Miss, you are also pondering, when you first got married, Qin Xianggong was angry with you and didn't come back for a few nights...... If...... Well, I mean, if Wanhua Xiaozhu can give him the feeling of home, how can Qin Xianggong be like this? ”
"I'm sleepy." Qu Xi took the ginseng soup and drank it all, and handed the bowl to Granny Hu.
"Hey." Granny Hu knew Qu Xi's temperament, shook her head helplessly, pushed the door and walked out.
Looking at Qin Baichuan's figure, the chill on Qu Xi's face became stronger and stronger, she didn't feel that she was wrong, and even for all women in the world, they would stubbornly think that if a man loves him deeply, no matter how he is, he will never abandon him and be consistent. Needless to say, isn't Yang Guo Yang Daxia in "The Condor Heroes" such a great man?
Qin Baichuan, who was busy downstairs, seemed to notice that someone was staring at him, and after raising his head and seeing Qu Xi, he waved his hand at her with a smile on his face, full of affection. Qu Xi came back to his senses at once, closed the curtains, and blew out the oil lamp.
This night, Qin Baichuan was downstairs guarding the stove to proofread the proportions, adding or decreasing medicinal materials, and was very busy. Although Qu Xi was lying on the bed, as soon as he closed his eyes, it was the scene of Qin Baichuan and Meng Xiaoling kissing, where could he sleep peacefully? This couple, who have never had a tacit understanding, has a "tacit understanding" tonight.
As soon as the sky was bright, Qu Xi, who was confused and didn't know whether he was asleep or not, couldn't lie down anymore, got dressed and walked out of the room. When he walked to the staircase, Qu Xi saw that Qin Baichuan didn't know when he entered the attic, the flame of the oil lamp next to him was getting weaker and weaker, and Qin Baichuan was sleeping soundly on the table.
Qu Xi hesitated for a moment, slowed down his pace and moved gently, and when he was far away, he smelled a smoky and even some foul smell on Qin Baichuan's body, with a thick tiredness on his face, and there seemed to be a trace of joy between his eyebrows.
Qu Xi glanced down, but saw Qin Baichuan pressing a piece of paper with both arms, and some strange patterns seemed to be drawn on the paper, and some things were marked with small characters next to it. Qu Xi was a little curious in his heart, and was about to bend down to take a clear look, but he didn't expect Qin Baichuan in his sleep to sit up suddenly, shouting "Oh no", and then before his eyes could adapt to the light, he ran out in a hurry.
Qin Baichuan moved too fast and dropped the piece of paper on the ground. Qu Xi picked up the paper, but saw a strange container painted on it, the container seemed to be filled with water, and the water was painted with dense black dots by Qin Baichuan with carbon black, but he didn't know what it represented.
A flame was drawn on the bottom of the container, and a vertical line was drawn on the top, to the effect that the mouth of the container was sealed, and several pipes extended around the mouth of the container, and under each pipe there was a small bowl, which made it difficult to figure out the head. The whole picture is also marked with some arrows, and at the top is a line of small characters written by dragons and phoenixes: Distillation method! Lao Tzu is a fucking genius!
"It's a mystery." Qu Xi has a lot of research on flowers, but he doesn't know anything about the "distillation method" at all, seeing that Qin Baichuan's words appear in the words and carry the meaning of self-praise, Qu Xi sneered and put the paper on the table.
I wanted to avoid meeting Qin Baichuan, but Qu Xi really wanted to know what Qin Baichuan was doing this night, so he hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to face it.
Walking out of the door of the attic, I saw Qin Baichuan squatting on the ground at a glance, using a wooden stick to quickly stir the lump of black and white in the small bowl, but something similar to the sludge in the river. As if he hadn't noticed Qu Xi coming out, Qin Baichuan got a little bit of "mud" and rubbed it on the back of his hand, rubbed it a few times, and washed it off with water, his face flashing with ecstasy.
"You...... What are you doing? Seeing Qin Baichuan put the first small bowl aside, and picked up the second small bowl containing a white viscous liquid and stirred it quickly, Qu Xi finally couldn't help but speak.
"Huh? Are you up? Fang Cai didn't notice Qu Xi in the attic at all, and after seeing her at this time, Qin Baichuan was like a child who invited merit, put down the work in his hand and quickly grabbed the first small bowl that had been prepared, and urged: "Hurry up, wash your face with this thing, feel it!" ”
"Why should I listen to you?" Qu Xi raised his neck, so many things happened last night, and I didn't plan to reconcile with you.
"Uh...... Owner, Minister Qin has developed a new product for the villa, you have to try it first. Qin Baichuan didn't dare to touch Quxi's moldy head, so he found a suitable reason.
"You mean...... I haven't slept all night, just to make something so disgusting? Hearing that Qin Baichuan was really doing things for the villa or for himself, Qu Xi's face looked a little better.
"The more disgusting things are, the more miraculous they are, think about it, if there is no big fecal smell, how can there be the fragrance of grains?" Qin Baichuan used a vulgar saying, and urged: "Don't waste time, wet your face first, apply a layer on it, and then wash it off with water to see what is different from usual." ”
Qu Xi still wanted to refuse, but Qin Baichuan said again: "Master Qu, if you approve of this thing, we can promote it and ensure that you have a wide range of financial resources when the time comes!" ”
Qu Xi bit her lip, although Qin Baichuan's words had the ingredient of fooling her, if this "mud" really made her feel magical, the market was indeed not a problem. Thinking of this, Qu Xi restrained his temperament and returned to the attic with a small bowl - such a private thing as washing his face must not be seen by this guy.
According to Qin Baichuan's statement, he brought clean water, and after wetting the noodles, he stretched out his slender index finger and picked a little "mud" in the palm of his hand, rubbing it, but he felt that the mud was extremely smooth, and his fingertips were slightly grainy. There seems to be some spices added to the "mud", and there is a faint fragrance on the smell, but it doesn't make people feel so annoying. Wait until the "mud" is evenly rubbed, spread your hands apart, and gently rub your cheeks.
After feeling that the time was about the same, Qu Xi washed off all the mud with clean water, took a towel and began to wipe it. When her fingertips inadvertently touched the skin on her face, she was slightly stunned at first, and then hurriedly took the bronze mirror, but saw that the pretty face in the mirror was fair and flawless, and all the particles that had been left in the pores of the zài pores due to the application of rouge gouache had fallen, and the crystal jade little face was a little more shiny and delicate than usual.
