Chapter 19 Secrets
Yang also nodded, "That's right, your eldest aunt knows that the two of you don't have a little girl yet, so she specially found someone to come over and choose someone for you, and she will always serve you in the future, and even if you want to marry, you must choose well." ”
Zilan turned her head towards Xu and showed a sweet and soft smile, "Thank you, aunt, since I came, I have made the two aunts hard, let my grandmother worry about me, and when Lan'er will make incense, make incense for you, everyone will be fragrant." ”
Everyone laughed, and Xu smiled: "Okay, we can wait, you can't be a scalper." ”
"No, my words count."
Zilan tilted her head, and her big eyes seemed to have a bright light in the blink of an eye, looking very cute and smart.
Yang glanced at her daughter angrily, "She doesn't know how long it will take to learn to make perfumes, listen to her play tricks." ”
"I'll learn it soon."
Zilan stood on the soft couch unconvinced, with a small head held high, her hands on her waist, looking domineering and soft.
"As long as you can."
Yang snorted.
The atmosphere in the house was warm and lively, and with two girls making noise in the house, the old lady had more smiles on her face.
Everyone slept at night, Zilan opened her eyes and looked left and right, making sure that the old lady and Shuhui were asleep, so she closed her eyes and calmed down and threw her consciousness into the space.
A shadow fell into the grass, glanced at it privately, and nodded slightly, "Fortunately, everything is still there, and I haven't lost too much." ”
This space is a space of consciousness, people can't enter, they can only put their consciousness into it, and after a long time, the soul will be nourished, she has owned this space for many years, and the soul body is well raised, and a lot of spices, flowers and fragrant trees are planted in it, which are used to make their own spice reserves.
At first, the soul body was not allowed to touch anything, but after slowly exercising, she was able to work like a human, and it took her more than three years to make her soul body do the simple action of picking up and putting down.
This can also explain why she was able to pass through and occupy Zilan's body after her accident in her previous life, and the reason why she fused well was that her soul body was very powerful. And Zilan was already out of breath at that time, which was very suitable for herself.
Zilan's soul body faintly exudes golden light, and this golden light is merit, which is accumulated after she has made money with perfume and donated money to help others for many years.
Although she wouldn't use these merits, she faintly felt that if she didn't have these merits, she might not be able to cross over, let alone find such a suitable body for herself.
Zilan walked slowly in the space to check the space, the space is divided into four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest, the east is planted with a large area of flowers and plants, and the south is planted with trees from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, such as red sandalwood and white sandalwood and other fine incense trees, these are the main materials of sandalwood and agarwood, and it takes a long time to produce good things.
The rest is planted with tea trees and some wood, which can also be used to make high-end furniture and can be sold for money.
Agarwood, chicken tongue and other spices are all produced from the same kind of incense wood, which is the agarwood tree, which is the resin condensed by the incense tree. Put it in the water and sink it to become an agarwood incense. Agarwood, also known as water sinking; If it is put into the water and half floats and sinks, it becomes a stack of incense; Floating on the surface of the water is yellow ripe incense.
There are also many kinds of incense trees, and in the early years, Zilan deliberately traveled to various places to search for seeds and seedlings of incense trees and spices, and purchased a lot of them to plant in the space.
The flow of time in space is faster, but because people can't enter the space, they can only be put into it, so it doesn't affect their lifespan.
This rolling tree is all fragrant wood, some of which have reached a hundred years old, and the resin of the fragrant wood knot that is more than 100 years old is more mellow, and the quality has reached the best.
Zilan looked around and began to work, went to some small tin buckets from the warehouse, took off the buckets that were already full on the incense tree, replaced them with new ones, and continued to store resin.
Agarwood is generally divided into four categories, this is the raw knot, the incense tree is cut into a gap with a knife and axe, and then tied to a small bucket, and the resin will flow at the wound, which is the raw knot.
Shedding is the incense produced by the branches in the process of decay;
The second is insect drainage, which is well understood, which is the incense formed by tree insects and bacteria that erode trees.
There is also a kind of ripening, which is the incense secreted by resin after the natural lesion of the incense tree dies. This kind of space is not available in her space, the quality of the space is very good, and there are no diseased and dead trees.
The incense is the top grade, and the ripe knot is slightly inferior, and at the same time, the color and texture are distinguished from the superior, and the hard black agarwood in the incense is the top grade, and the yellow is second.
The top grades include horn sinking, yellow sinking, wax sinking, and leather sinking.
The corner sink is black and has a warm texture; And Huang Shen is yellow, and the texture is also warm; Wax sinking is more flexible; The texture of leather is vertical and horizontal, and it is different.
Not all of these fragrant trees are purchased from overseas, some of them are purchased from the Lingnan area, and there are many fragrant trees near the sea, and the fragrant trees are connected to each other and stretch for thousands of miles.
In order to collect all the varieties of these fragrant trees, she also spent countless hours and energy, as well as a lot of money, and it took many years to collect almost enough.
After replacing the bucket where the balsam was collected, I went to the flower field again and collected some petals, which were slightly dried and then used to make incense.
There are several methods, one is to use vegetable oil extraction, which is the simplest and most natural way, but requires the material to be dry, otherwise it will be rancid.
Generally, olive oil, sweet almond oil, fractionated coconut oil, as well as the famous jojoba oil, rice bran oil, etc. are all very good choices, and there are many kinds of vegetable oils, which are used in fragrance.
The botanical extraction method is very simple, soak the flower and herb material with fractionated coconut oil, and the material is four-thirds full in the bottle, just enough to submerge the material.
Cover the bottle, let it sit for a month, then filter the residue with gauze, to enhance the aroma, you can extract it repeatedly, and the final soaking oil can be directly massaged and applied, or used as a base oil, or used as a cream or lotion.
The main point is that the flower and plant materials are dry, otherwise it will lead to mold.
Zilan still has a lot of time, so she deliberately set a watch so as not to pass the time, and doing work in the space will not affect her body.
This time, lavender will be extracted, and jasmine and other flowers and plants can be extracted using the plant extraction method.
There is also ethanol, and liposuction method, the process of using ethanol is not complicated, but she can't use it for the time being, and the liposuction method is that animal fat absorbs the aroma of stamens, and the resulting animal fat is rich in rich aroma, which can be used to make handmade soap and hand cream.
Animal fat is extracted, introduced into the tray before condensation, after condensation, draw a cross knife edge, try to be finer, and then buckle the side of the petals with stamens on it, remove it and throw it away after turning yellow, and extract it repeatedly, requiring the best large petals, and the petals that are too broken are not suitable for this method.
Zilan was busy in the space, extracting the sesame oil of several kinds of flowers with vegetable oil, and then seeing that it was still early, she withdrew from the space and went to sleep.
