Everything is ready, there are no worries, only Fang Tian owes his own east wind.

"I'm going to pick those orchids tomorrow morning and see if I can make sesame oil!"

Everyone present nodded, remembering that those orchids were piled up in the yard, and there seemed to be a lot of them, and they were afraid that Fang Tian would not be able to do it alone, so they asked, "Do you want us to help you?" ”

As long as Fang Tian says that he needs something, he can push off any work tomorrow.

Fang Tian shook his head and said: "Tomorrow will be fine as usual, you are each busy with your own, the meticulous work of picking flowers is not easy to do, I can do it with Ah Xiao, this is just a just beginning of the attempt, not a mass production, and Zhao Gongzi is urging not only that, there is no pressure, you can be busy." ”

Thinking about it, the family is a good hand at doing farm work, but they don't understand this kind of thing, not to mention the unheard of work of picking flowers and refining spices, it is estimated that it is even more difficult to do, and if there are more people, it can probably only add to the chaos, so I didn't insist too much.

Lin Xiao was listening to the adults quietly, but when he suddenly heard his name, he raised his head with some joy, unlike those lazy children of the same age, Lin Xiao was precocious and needed in this family, which would give him a sense of satisfaction.

"Is my sister going to ask me to help pick the flowers tomorrow?"

Fang Tian responded, and said in his heart that picking flowers is not a tiring job, but it is a little more troublesome, Lin Xiao shouldn't be unhappy, right?

Just thinking about it, she glanced down at Lin Xiao's expression, she smiled, her eyebrows crooked: "Remember to get up early tomorrow." ”

Lin Xiao nodded heavily.

The moon sets and the stars sink, revealing a touch of fish belly white in the far east, and a rooster cries through the silence.

Fang Tian had no dreams all night, she slept very well, and now she seemed to have some expectations in her heart, as soon as the rooster crow sounded, she opened her eyes and woke up from a warm and beautiful sleep.

Just waking up early is part of the plan.

Orchid petals are the best picked in the morning, and if you want to improve, you have to be strict with yourself.

Although she said yesterday that she opened her mouth and asked Lin Xiao to get up early, Fang Tian didn't count Lin Xiao in the plan, after all, Lin Xiao was just a child, and she didn't want to abuse him, so when she stepped out of the room with the first touch of morning light falling into the world, she was a little surprised to see Lin Xiao standing quietly in the courtyard. 、

Lin Xiao stood upright in the courtyard, rubbing his eyes lightly with a pair of small hands from time to time, as if he was still a little sleepy.

Fang Tian was ashamed of himself, and gently patted him on the shoulder: "Why did you get up so early today?" Aren't you sleepy? ”

Lin Xiao was originally standing in a daze, but the sudden voice startled him, and when he saw Fang Tian's face, the tiredness on his immature little face was extinguished with joy: "Didn't my sister say yesterday that I should come over to help, so I got up early, for fear of delaying my sister's affairs." ”

Through the morning light, Fang Tian clearly saw the color under Lin Xiao's eyes, and sighed: "I asked you to get up early to help, but I didn't let you get up so early, you are still just a child, which will make me feel that I am abusing you." Are you sleepy now? ”

Lin Xiao nodded calmly, he understood that if he insisted on saying that he was not sleepy at this time, he was afraid that Fang Tian would be angry: "I'm just a little sleepy, just a little bit, and now I can't sleep when I get up and go back, I'll help my sister first." ”

Lin Xiao insisted on this, thinking that picking flowers was not a difficult task, Fang Tian nodded helplessly.

In the early morning, before the morning dew had time to be dried by the sun and rise, Xiao Xinxin's wings hid on the side of the branches, under the dead leaves, and among the flowers. The orchids in the yard of Fang Tian's house are piled up, and they just need these morning dew.

They greet the morning sun, sip the morning dew, and the delicate petals slowly bloom, revealing the slightest hint of orchid fragrance.

When Fang Tian stepped into the courtyard, he happened to see these, and his eyebrows showed a slight joy: "These orchids are already numerous at first glance, but if I really want to refine essential oils, these alone are far from enough." ”

In Lin Xiao's eyes, so many orchids were enough, and when he heard Fang Tian say that it wasn't enough, he paused for a moment, revealing a look of surprise: "Then how many orchids do you need to be enough?" ”

Fang Tian thought for a moment and shook her head, she didn't know how many raw materials she needed, she only knew that these orchids were far from enough: "I don't know the specific number, but I think if the business wants to become bigger, relying on these raw materials alone is far from enough, and when I have time in two days, I still have to inquire where there is a place to grow orchids." ”

Her pattern seemed to be something that she couldn't understand for the time being, Lin Xiao realized this and frowned slightly.

His reaction happened to be seen by Fang Tian, so she half-squatted down, smoothed her brows with her soft fingertips, frowned lightly, and said softly in an unquestionable tone: "Children are not allowed to learn to beat people and frown, it doesn't look good." ”

With that, she got up, turned around, and walked towards the orchid bushes, carrying a small basket in her hand.

Lin Xiao was also carrying a small basket with a grenade, which Fang Tian said he would use to hold the collected orchid petals, and seeing that Fang Tian had already made a move, Lin Xiao also followed.

Orchids are not like other flower species, the petals are thin and small, although the fragrance is not inferior to other flowers, but few people want to refine orchid oil. Fang Tian is interested in this very little, things are vaguely expensive, orchids are fragrant and elegant, there will always be nobles who like it.

Fang Tian and Lin Xiao carefully picked flowers in the orchid bush for a long time, the orchid petals in the two baskets were only a handful, and there were not many orchids left.

Fang Tian put down the small basket, casually said a few words to Lin Xiao, and hurriedly ran back home.

I vaguely remember the method of refining essential oils that the teacher said in her previous life, although those things were already things in her student days, but Fang Tian had a good memory, and vaguely remembered that after the failure of the last attempt, she carefully recalled the specific steps of refining sesame oil, and then remembered that she was missing a process.

In advance, the orchid petals should be soaked in salt water and fermented for a period of time.

At this moment, Zhao Xiuqin, who is in charge of the kitchen, is not at home, and she doesn't know whose house she went to, Fang Tian secretly rejoiced when she saw this situation, and said God help me, otherwise if Zhao Xiuqin was here, she would definitely not be willing to let her toss with salt, after all, she still had to eat.

Fang Tian laughed lightly twice, like a child who had succeeded in a prank, picked up the salt in the kitchen and ran to his cabin without looking back.

According to the vague memories of his previous life, the proportion of salt water was adjusted, and then Fang Tian took those orchid petals from Lin Xiao's hand. There are not many of them, and Fang Tian's two small hands can even hold them in his hands at one time, full of elegant floral fragrance.

It is estimated that if his refining method is successful, then the essential oil that can be extracted from these petals is enough to make several bottles of perfume.

Thinking of the expectant look in Zhao Qi's eyes when he left yesterday, Fang Tian suddenly believed in Buddhism, and even wanted to hold Buddha's feet temporarily: "Buddha bless, you must let me succeed!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Tian sprinkled all the orchid petals in his hand into the water.

The petals gradually sank to the bottom of the water, and An Ran looked as if nothing had happened.

Lin Xiaofang saw Fang Tian pour a lot of salt into the water, and he was a little puzzled: "Why do you sprinkle salt in the water, is it useful to soak the orchid in the water?" ”

After getting along for a few days, Lin Xiao has discovered Fang Tian's unusualness, her personality and temperament, her knowledge and truth, seem to be the same as this world, but they seem so special. According to Fang Tian, she said that the difference between her and others stemmed from the fact that she had lived in a certain world in her dreams for twenty years, and that these strange methods were learned there.

Lin Xiao suddenly had a lot of curiosity about that world.

"Of course it works, just like when the flour wants to be fermented before it is made into buns, my method of soaking the orchid in water is also called fermentation, soak it for a period of time and wait for it to ferment, and then the process can be completed."

Lin Xiao already had a deep trust in Fang Tian, after all, she rescued him from that hellish world and was very good to him, so Lin Xiao never doubted any of Fang Tian's words.

In the evening of the same day, when Fang Gang came back from outside, he felt that the atmosphere at home was not quite right, the meal had been prepared, everyone was around the table, but no one moved the chopsticks, and the leather surface was gloomy.

Fang Gang was startled, and subconsciously looked around, but he didn't find Fang Tian's figure.

"Where did my little sister go?"

Zhao Xiuqin propped her chin and sighed: "In her cabin, she hasn't come out for a day today. ”

At first, everything was normal, Fang Tian poured out half of the salt and put it back in place, taking advantage of the fermentation time of the orchid petals, he had a light meal with Lin Xiao, and then talked for a while.

When it was close to lunchtime, I don't know what was going on, Fang Tian suddenly ran into the cabin he used to do experiments, and as soon as the door closed, he never came out.

"At noon, I went to call her out to eat, and she answered twice, and after coming out, she hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of food, and then went to the firewood room to carry all the charcoal that was going to be used for the winter, and I don't know what she was tinkering with."

When Zhao Xiuqin said this, Fang Gang hadn't noticed anything wrong, he frowned and defended his sister: "This doesn't sound like a special thing, my little sister doesn't want to do that business of refining orchid essential oil now, Zhao Gongzi gave so much money yesterday, and the raw materials that have been missing have also been shipped to the family, so it doesn't seem strange that she works hard." ”

It sounds a little reasonable, but Zhao Xiuqin didn't listen: "She closed the door tightly, the window was closed tightly, but charcoal was burning in the house, just now I went to ask her if she wanted to have dinner, and she responded very vaguely, as if she didn't mean to go out to eat, which made me not worried." ”

The more Zhao Xiuqin spoke, the more she felt that her heart was like a string tightened: "Have you all forgotten what happened to the Wang family in the neighboring village last year?" ”

Lin Xiao didn't know about the Wang family in the neighboring village that she said, so he asked.

"It was said that last year, the family burned charcoal at home to keep warm, but I don't know what's going on, the doors and windows are closed tightly, and there is no movement in the house at all. One of the guests happened to visit their house that day, and when he knocked on the door and found no answer, he asked the neighbor where the people had gone, and the neighbor said that he had not seen them come out. Only then did I realize that something was wrong, and when I broke down the door, I saw that the people in the house had suffocated to death. ”

Fang Gang said, his face was also a little pale: "What is she burning charcoal for?" ”

Zhao Xiuqin said with a sad face: "Said what kind of distillation and condensation or something, she said she wanted to use it, and I gave it to her." ”

Fang Tian is the only girl in the family, she grew up in the palm of the Fang family's hand, thinking of last year's tragedy, thinking of the silence that knocked on the door just now, everyone panicked.
