The old man clouds: the maid golden bath tray holds water, and the glazed bowl holds bath beans.

Qin Yao's bath is definitely not what you think, just soak in it.

First of all, let's talk about the attitude towards bathing.

Why do you say that Qin Yao values taking a bath by herself, because she doesn't simply soak herself in it and finish it, Qin Yao's bathing is quite troublesome and water-consuming. So I asked for six buckets of water just now, not because it was difficult to make water, but because I really needed it.

If you want to say that Qin Yao didn't take a bath before, it was really not, this big wooden basin was used from the beginning to the Second Prince's Mansion, Qin Yao has always been very low-key, in this era, bathing and bathing, other people's families are fairies, and they are fish farmers, so I'm embarrassed to be high-profile. Plus...... Being in the Prince's Mansion, Qin Yao was still a little uncomfortable.

So usually, they secretly pour cold water first, Qin Yao and Su He together, first add one-third of the cold water, and then ask for two or three buckets of hot water, just soak it quickly, and don't let the maids say that they are squeamish.

But today is different, what day is today, today is the day when Qin Yao was fully angry with Ye Qinghong!

I've torn my face to this extent, do you still care about using a few buckets of hot water?

Su He and Qin Yao are very, very united at this point, today's bath water is not mixed with a drop of cold water, and all of them must be boiled hot water!

Hot water is just the basic configuration. The following steps are what Qin Yao enjoys the most. It is also what she needs to prepare for Su He.

At this time, soaphorn is still used for bathing and hair washing, and for better purposes, soaphorn honey balls are used, but those who have status in the imperial city pursue the use of bath beans.

What is a bath bean, it is a detergent made of soybean powder mixed with medicinal materials, used to wash the face and body, and can also moisturize and moisturize the skin to make it shiny, and only women who are high-ranking officials or relatives of the emperor will use it.

The high cost of bath beans is, first of all, because of the raw materials. Bath beans need to be made of fine soybeans as the main ingredient, and then they have to go through a lot of processes to make the bath beans into fine pills, otherwise how can they be called bath beans. In other words, this bath bean is a granule for the dignitaries to wash and nourish the skin, dominated by soybean powder, and a variety of precious medicines are added to it, and I heard that gold leaf and pearls are also added to the palace.

complained here, when she first heard that she was going to add gold leaf, Qin Yao almost laughed, what did that person look like after washing, did he want to put gold on himself?

Jokes are jokes, Qin Yao definitely can't afford this, Qin Yao's route is not to expect others not to embarrass themselves, but can we make some cheap ones, soybeans can be bought secretly and saved, and the medicinal materials in the Chinese medicine shop can't afford ginseng, and I can't afford to buy radish.

Self-control is the first step of thrift.

When the soybeans were in the Qin Mansion, they were secretly collected carefully from the kitchen, because they had to be dried, and Qin Yao and Su He had to dry all kinds of utensils in the house every day for a while.

The tool for grinding beans is to go to the pharmacy to find suitable medicinal materials, and the pharmacies do not want to pound the medicine pieces and bits and pieces, all of which are brought back with a burden. So, in the dead of night, Qin Yao and Suhe were in the house as quietly as possible. Qin Yao was afraid that if Qin Fu found out, her hobby of bathing would be gone.

There is a popular bath bean recipe in the imperial city. Among them, in this ordinary recipe, the more famous one is to use white bean crumbs as the main ingredient, Qin Yao can't afford to use it, or honest and practical soybeans, grind them into powder by themselves, and save money a little bit to buy medicinal materials, what green wood incense, sweet rosin, white sandalwood, blood exhaustion, clove flowers, it is said that these five spices can make the body smell fragrant after bathing. In addition, with the white silkworm and skullcap, these herbs that can moisturize and whiten the skin, the bath beans made can make the user's skin white and delicate, as well as the aroma, if you consider the season, in autumn and winter, you should add some egg whites and pig pancreas that nourish the skin.

It's really troublesome to do this whole set. Because he was saving money and saving medicinal materials at the same time, he didn't make many pills, and he kept Su He carefully collecting it, this thing is not expensive but counting time and energy, it is really precious.

Su He led the little girl to move a stool to the closet, let the little girl hold the stool, stood up by herself, and took down a hexagonal porcelain box from the top floor of the wardrobe.

"Smell it for you." Su He looked at the little girl staring at the porcelain box dumbfounded, and handed it to her generously.

The little girl looked surprised, "Sister, what is this, I've never seen it before." ”

Su He felt strange, "Isn't there a bath bean in the Prince's Mansion?" ”

The little girl shook her head, "No, what is Sister Bath Bean." Eat? ”

As soon as these words came out, Su He hurriedly hugged the porcelain box back into his arms. "This is not for food, this is for bathing, you don't know how much effort it takes for the young lady to do this."

When it comes to praising his own young lady, Su He has a lot of topics to talk about.

"Our lady saved from her monthly money, one by one pharmacy to find suitable medicinal materials, but also good quality and low price, and after getting acquainted with the pharmacy, she also gave us a pestle and grinding objects, or our young lady is beautiful and kind, and people like it wherever she goes."

The little girl nodded hard, indicating that she agreed with Su He's statement.

Qin Yao tried not to laugh on the side, Su He was always like his own professional advertising company, and he praised Qin Yao for being good when he met people. In fact, mainly when he was in the Qin Mansion, there were many things that Qin Yao wanted to be low-key, such as this bath bean, Qin Yao was familiar with the small merchants and vendors of medicinal materials, and he also got two special recipes, which were particularly effective and difficult to make.

The first one, called Yongbai Yanxiang Pill, needs honey locust, soybeans, and red beans as the main ingredients, and then adds Angelica dahurica, Qianghuo, melon wilted kernels, and pig bone incense, grinds and sifts all the above raw materials, removes tendons and peels the skin, and makes medicinal powder.

But the powder is certainly inconvenient for bathing, and this Yongbai Yanxiang Pill is not mixed into a pill with pig pancreas or egg whites, and the pharmacy says that this pill must be mixed with a complex "dried porridge". As soon as he heard that it was complicated, Qin Yao gave up, after all, it would definitely not work to make a big deal in the Qin Mansion. It is said that it is necessary to pour the hot rice into cold water and soak it for five or six days, take the top layer of cold water and boil it, put in the antler gum to let it melt, and then add Jiangmi to boil out the porridge with a simmer, which is mixed with the medicinal powder made earlier, and then stretch out the porridge to dry, which is the transparent dried porridge. This process is not only complicated, but also has to use kitchen facilities, if Sun Ruyu and Qin Fu knew, they would rather demolish the kitchen of the Qin Mansion and not eat at all, and they would not agree.

The other one, not simply complicated, is...... The recipe is complex, the process is complex, and the cost is too expensive. You need five liters of soybean flour, five honey locust roots, two liters of Jiang rice, three taels of deer horn gum, three taels of white stem, three taels of white root, three taels of white poria cocos, three taels of skullcap, three taels of angelica dahurica, three taels of white aconite, half a liter of peach kernels, and you have to soak and peel the soup, and half a liter of sweet almonds should also be soaked in soup, peeled, and one or two agarwood. Qin Yao felt that this was not a bath bean, this was a manual exam class, and if he could do these well, he would probably be able to open a store specializing in selling bath beans, and pharmacies couldn't do it, which showed that the difficulty was not ordinary. Not to mention a half-way monk like himself. What's more, such a complex material is not worthy of it.

Qin Yao once thought that he had a kitchen to make dried porridge with medicinal herbs, but what was the result...... A bowl of fish noodles is like this. The man's mouth hehehe...... If you know that you use the kitchen to make bathing things, hehehe, maybe two people can complete and leave on the spot.
