Chapter 14: The garden is going to be bald
Jia Cong's words shocked the nurse Li.
"Why doesn't Mama Li believe it?"
Seeing Li's stunned look, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Isn't it just flower essence, I have a way to extract it, and if you add sugar, it's flower dew!" ”
"Three, third young master, you, what you said is true?"
Mama Li's face was full of shock, and she couldn't speak, so she hurriedly asked.
"It's nature!"
Jia Cong pouted and said: "I also heard about this content in a miscellaneous book by chance, don't you know if you try it!" ”
For this explanation, Li Ma has no doubts at all.
Like the main world, since she started studying, Jia Cong has started the mode of listening to miscellaneous books, for which Li's mother has been reprimanded a lot, and she has come forward to borrow books.
The little maid sparrow has been so anxious lately that she has even heard that she is starting to lose her hair, because she is responsible for reading borrowed miscellaneous books, and she must be literate.
In short, stumbling for a month, not to mention the little maid's rapid literacy, as well as the habit of reading aloud more and more proficiently, Jia Cong still listened to some miscellaneous books unique to this world.
Among them, there are indeed some technical records, and Li Ma has listened to it a lot, and she also has some understanding and insight.
"Let's start experimenting tomorrow!"
Ignoring Mama Li's blazing expectations, Jia Cong waved his hand and said leisurely: "This kind of thing, it's best to do it quietly, don't make trouble in the entire General's Mansion, even the second room knows about it, and then there will be nothing to do with us!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Mama Li suddenly sobered up, and nodded busily.
Just kidding, her understanding of the internal atmosphere of Rongguo Mansion definitely threw Jia Cong a few streets.
From the wife and Wang Xifeng, the tigress above, to the four housekeepers below, and then to the ordinary stewards, they are all masters who see money.
Once he knew that the Third Young Master had a way to refine the precious flower dew, he would definitely fly over like a wolf, and it would have nothing to do with the Third Young Master in the future.
How can such a good thing be possible without a firm grasp in your hands?
That's flower dew, and a small bottle can be sold for ten taels of silver outside!
The Li family is also hot, the atmosphere of Rongguo Mansion has long been broken, and she also loves money when she is affected, but she has no chance to make money before.
Now that the opportunity is in front of us, it is natural to take advantage of it.
Thinking about it, even if the third young master makes a flower dew, if she wants to exchange it for silver, she has to sell it, this is a good opportunity for her to make a big profit.
As for whether it would harm the interests of the third young master, she didn't think much about it at this time.
Anyway, the third young master's food and clothing, and even the cost of schooling, the house has paid for silver, and he doesn't need too much silver.
Jia Cong didn't know what the nurse thought, if she knew, she would definitely say a word about it.
For a luxury like Hualu, he and the nurse will drink a lot of soup at most, and then they have to hand it in honestly, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious.
Mama Li's life circle basically revolves around Rongguo Mansion, and she can sell a few bottles of flower dew, which will inevitably be quickly exposed in the end.
Jia Cong has already made a decision, when the time comes, he will take the initiative to hand over Fang Zi to Mrs. Xing, and he can still curry favor, if he is taken by the second room or Wang Xifeng, it really has nothing to do with him.
After half a month, Jia Cong's life rhythm was normal.
After getting up and exercising every day, I still ran to the main hall early to eat and drink, and then went to and from school without wandering outside.
However, the flowers in the garden of the main courtyard of the General's Mansion suffered greatly.
Either one piece is plucked one day and another piece is plagued tomorrow.
The mother-in-law who was guarding the garden wanted to cry without tears, and Li's mother came forward to take care of it herself, although she was apprehensive, she did not stop it.
How to stop it?
If Jia Cong was still a few months ago, the mother-in-law who was not taken seriously, the little transparent of the little transparent, and the mother-in-law who took care of the garden might not give face.
Right now, Third Master Cong is definitely an important member of the General's Mansion, haven't I seen that his wife's attitude towards him has improved greatly, and even the old man scolds him from time to time?
That's right, in the eyes of the subordinates of the General's Mansion, Jia Yu's scolding is definitely a very important performance.
I didn't see it, even the second master of the sister-in-law, when he arrived in the big room to ask for peace, he was indispensable to scold, and now the third master Cong also has such treatment.
Fortunately, Jia Cong didn't do too much, the garden of the General's Mansion is not small, and the bald flowers, hidden in the small sea of flowers, are not very eye-catching.
The main thing is that Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing are not willing to spend time appreciating the existence of flowers and plants. They also do not come to the garden very often, and even if some of the flowers are destroyed, they will not notice it for a moment.
The flowers that disappeared naturally all entered Jia Cong's remote courtyard.
Directly order the picked flowers to be mashed, then add water and steam them in a clay pot.
Every evening at sunset, Jia Cong's small remote courtyard is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Fortunately, there are no floral allergy symptoms, otherwise life would be difficult.
But even so, Jia Cong also felt that he couldn't stand being smoked.
The boiled viscous pus, mixed with broken petals, filtered through the silk cloth, is the most primitive flower dew.
It's just that the color is very dark, and it's completely different from the clear liquid of the phoenix egg treasure jade.
"What's strange, the flower dew on Baoyu's side is diluted, and it looks naturally bright!"
Faced with Mama Li's doubts, Jia Cong was very disapproving, and said with a smile: "If you want to do it, it's not difficult, just continue to dilute it with water, of course, it's best to boil!" ”
As he spoke, he added a small bowl of dark viscous flower dew to water and re-steamed it, and by the way, added a few spoons of sugar.
Ahem, as a child of the Rong Mansion, even if it is no longer taken seriously, there should be no less. For example, a small packet of white sugar in January, of course, is not white sugar, but after simple processing, there are a lot of impurities in jaber.
When the sugar was added, the diluted flower dew boiled again, and the whole room was filled with a rich floral fragrance, much lighter than at the beginning.
"That's what it smells like!"
Mother Li's face was full of joy, and she hurriedly said: "The flower dew of the second master Bao is this smell, what is it called fragrant but not strong!" ”
Jia Cong chuckled, waited for the temperature of the clay pot to cool down, and poured three bowls of homemade flower dew under the curious and expectant eyes of Mama Li and the little maid Lingfinch.
The color is still a little dark, but it is much lighter than at the beginning, and obviously some impurities are filtered with silk cloth, which is still a little reluctant.
"This is a small bottle of flower dew for ten taels of silver outside!"
Carefully picking up the porcelain bowl filled with diluted flower dew, Mama Li looked excited and intoxicated, and took a sip carefully, with a smile on her face even more.
The mouth is full of floral fragrance, sweet, and the taste of flower dew described on the outside is exactly the same, and my heart is full of surprises that cannot be concealed.
The little maid next to her, the sparrow, had already drunk a small bowl of homemade flowers, and was looking at Jia Cong......
