The method of making rose dew is also quite cumbersome.

Wash and dry the roses and boil three times.

Put some water in the pot, put some of the washed roses in the pot and cook over low heat until the rosebuds change color, then remove them.

Then put in some new buds, bring to a boil until the color changes, then scoop it up and repeat the process until there is only one bowl of water in the pot and it is very dark, then turn off the heat.

In this way, the water was boiled three times, and the essence of the rose petals went to the water.

After a long boil, the water vapor evaporates, and all that remains is the beautiful rose dew.

If you spend more time, you can also make rose gel to use as rouge.

However, this thing was delicate and expensive, and only ladies from wealthy and aristocratic families could use it.

Generally, rose dew is edible, invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis, beautifies and nourishes the skin, and the heart is on fire, and can also be used to dispel fire.

The price of this thing is not low, but it can be affordable for ordinary people. Women from wealthy families eat it all year round. Some people even use it to wash their faces.

Rose dew is not uncommon in the capital of this dynasty.

When Chu Xintian mentioned this matter, Liu Yunlong mistakenly thought that this strange thing in front of him was used to make rose dew.

"Is this for roses?"

As soon as Liu Yunlong asked, Chu Xintian knew that he had underestimated this still.

"No, I mentioned rosedew. I just think this container has something to do with rose dew. ”

"What's going on, Tian'er, don't beat around the bush, say it bluntly!" Liu Yunlong knew that Chu Xintian would always bring him unexpected joy, so at this moment, he couldn't wait to know what this thing was for.

"Pour the rose dew into a vessel and heat it over a fire, and the most precious essential oil of the rose will be distilled and dripped out bit by bit along this small mouth. This essential oil is the essence of roses, which concentrates the fragrance of roses and lasts when dropped on the body. 51

Chu Xintian paused for a moment and said, "Don't you all like to wrap incense in fragrant clothes?" But if you have the essence of this petal, you can keep it for a long time, if you drop a few drops, but it is better than incense and sachets.

"The name is Perfume."

That being said, perfume originated in the West, and its use is not as romantic as we think.

In medieval Europe, the economy was backward, people's living standards were low, there was no modern sewage system in the cities, and people did not pay attention to hygiene at all. Household garbage and defecation have not been addressed.

At that time, the Europeans were quite barbaric. Even kings and nobles often did not bathe. As a result, they are bound to emit a foul smell.

To mask this unpleasant smell, perfumes were invented.

The Central Plains has always been a civilized country. Compared to backward Europe, it is a place that pays attention to hygiene.

So no one invented perfume to mask the smell.

But no matter where you are, everyone has it, and the smell of beauty will always make people feel happy.

Therefore, the wealthy nobles of the Central Plains would sprinkle perfume on their clothes and wear sachets on weekdays.

This can also be explained by the fact that there must be such a perfume market in this dynasty.

Compared to the complicated procedure of incense, a few drops of perfume on the body can achieve twice the result with half the effort. It is also more durable and enjoyable than wearing a sachet. How can something so good not be loved?

Liu Yunlong knows best about women's business experiences. When she heard the perfume described by Chu Xintian, she almost jumped for joy.

Looking at this strange still in front of him, although there was nothing in it, there seemed to be a nice smell around his nose that he couldn't dispel for a long time!

Even if the price is higher, there are people who will pay for it.

The most important thing in the capital is the ladies who are willing to spend money.
