The green calyx smiled gently, and still put the silver two back into Lu Mengjian's hand, "Girl, you can rest assured that you can take it, it is rare to have spices that our lady can see, and they are naturally worth these prices." ”
After that, he retreated to the side, and Mrs. You still looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand, and from time to time she came to the mouth of the bottle to smell it, and saw the green calyx's expression, and then looked at Lu Mengjian, "This fragrance is really wonderful, the faint fragrance is no different from the fragrance of 'flower', but I dare to ask my sister, I don't know what to call this spice?" ”
"It's not a secret, this spice is extracted from the fresh 'flower', so the 'flower' fragrance is pure, and the bottle in the lady's hand is extracted from the Huai 'flower', so the name is Huai 'flower' and 'essence' oil." Lu Mengjian replied respectfully. Although the other party has a sister, Lu Mengjian doesn't know that there is a difference in identity, although he is extremely repulsed by this kind of hierarchical title in his heart, he is still neither humble nor arrogant to draw a clear line for himself.
"Huai 'flower' and 'essence' oil is worthy of its name, but in fact, this 'flower' fragrance is the most rare to be preserved so pure." Mrs. You opened the cap of the bottle again, smelling the aroma wafting in the air, and her expression was extremely pleasant.
"Madam, this 'essence' oil itself is very volatile, so when not in use, it is best to close the lid tightly," Lu Mengjian reminded, "When using it, you can take a little and touch it lightly with your fingers behind your ears and wrists, so that the aroma is light but not too strong." ”
Although the 'essence' oil still has other effects, but now the time is not yet ripe, Lu Mengjian has to use the 'essence' oil for perfume purposes first, which makes it seem that the 'essence' oil extracted from the 'essence' heart has lost its original value.
However, Mrs. You nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone says that the 'flower' fragrance is precious, but I can't smell those strong smells, I only feel very choked, and even those incense incense are rarely used, but today's sister's 'essence' oil is very much in line with my heart, and today I really thank my sister!" ”
Lu Mengjian accepted the silver tael, and he was already reluctant to go, and saw that Mrs. You was so polite, although he knew that the other party was just polite, but he still couldn't avoid going in his heart, so he took out the porcelain bottle left in his arms and handed it to Mrs. You, "Since Mrs. likes it, then give this bottle to Mrs. as well, if Mrs. is used to it in the future, Dream Note will make other things, and then send it to Mrs. for trial." ”
"That's okay, it's not easy for my sister to make these spices, take them back quickly, I really can't ask for this," Mrs. You hurriedly 'handed over' the porcelain bottle to Lu Calyx, signaling her to return it to Lu Mengjian.
"Madam, this can be regarded as a gift of the dream note to Mrs., and Madame refuses to accept it, is it because she dislikes the gift of thin things? However, there is a reluctant request from the dream note, if the lady uses it satisfactorily, recommend it to the lady in the same city, the dream note is already 'excited'," Lu Mengjian smiled deliberately, so that Mrs. You finally stopped insisting and asked the green calyx to carefully put away the two porcelain bottles.
After a while, two bottles of 'essence' oil were "sold", and Lu Mengjian instantly felt a lot more relaxed. Mrs. You seems to have a lot to say, but in front of the two maids, it is always difficult to say it, Lu Mengjian saw her 'wanting' and stopped, and probably understood what she meant.
So, after thinking about it in his heart, he said goodbye, "Madam, I'm afraid you're tired today, go home early and rest, you must pay more attention to walking in the future, but don't accidentally hit your foot again, otherwise these two sisters will be distressed." ”
"Thank you sister for your kindness, I will pay more attention in the future. When my sister enters the city in the future, she must come to You Mansion to have a look," Mrs. You's eyebrows finally relaxed, who doesn't like the sensible 'daughter'.
"When he is free, he will definitely visit, and the dream note will leave first," Lu Mengjian said goodbye, then turned around and left, walked far away, and when he looked back, he saw two 'women' supporting You Shi to step into the magnificent big 'door', and on the plaque of the 'door', two big characters "You Fu" were written vigorously and powerfully.
"It's a rich and noble family again, it looks so glamorous on the surface, but how can outsiders know about the undercurrent in it," Lu Mengjian thought of Mrs. You's concealed expression, but he liked the peaceful rural life now, 'touched' 'touched' the bulging purse in his arms, and walked towards the market when he strode back and forth.
Lu Mengjian inquired for a long time before finding the blacksmith shop in the city, where two blacksmiths were calcining naked and around the red-hot charcoal stove. When the blacksmith saw someone coming, he didn't get up, glanced at Lu Mengjian coldly, then put the calcined iron on a board, picked up the hammer and smashed it hard, and then threw it into the cold water sink on the side.
The man who was wielding the hammer picked up a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his body, and turned to Lu Mengjian with an impatient face, "What does the little lady want to buy when she comes to our iron shop?" ”
"The slave family wants to ask the master to make a stove," Lu Mengjian took out the drawings he had drawn before and spread them on the square table on the side, "This is the drawing, please ask the master to take a look, what's wrong." ”
But the man didn't even look at it, and said arrogantly, "Isn't it just a stove, my old Liu naturally knows how to fight, and there is no need for drawings." ”
After hearing this, Lu Mengjian was very disgusted, but he still insisted on laying the drawings on the table. The young man in the shop stepped forward, took a look at it and felt novel, and couldn't help but pull the man over, "Master, since they brought the drawings, you can take a look, I really haven't seen that thing!" ”
"You 'hairy' boy, how long have you been in the store, you can see it all, what do you want me to do as a master," the man's eyes were as big as bull's eyes, and the young man was so frightened that he hurriedly shut up and didn't dare to say more.
The man scolded and walked to him, but when he saw the drawings, he suddenly lost his voice.
After a long while, he raised his head and asked, "Little lady, are you sure this is a stove?" ”
A simple drawing is sketched with a fine pen on the drawing, and when viewed horizontally and vertically, there is no appearance of a furnace at all. The man who struck iron didn't look out of Mingtang for a long time, he had beaten the iron for many years, and he had seen a lot of styles of stoves, but it was the first time he had seen it like this.
Lu Mengjian put the drawings back in front of the man. At first glance, the drawings are indeed too simple, although Lu Mengjian's sketch foundation is not bad, but at this time there is no pencil at all, so he has to use a 'hair' pen to briefly sketch it, no wonder the blacksmith master can't recognize it.
However, the distillation furnace itself is not complicated, but it is a combination of two important parts: the steam generator and the condenser, but there are many more 'ingenious' designs on it. However, in ancient times, there was no running water or automatic ice machine, so it was inevitable that there would be some difficulties in condensing, so some changes were made to the design of the condenser and the equipment used in the past.
The blacksmith's little apprentice was curious, and he also gathered aside to watch the excitement, but after listening to Lu Mengjian's explanation, he was still confused. While the two of them were not paying attention, they secretly took the drawings in their hands and looked at them again, as if they wanted to find some mysteries from them.
The man was discussing some details with Lu Mengjian, but when he looked down, he found that the drawings were being held by the little apprentice, and he picked up his big hand and hit the little guy's buttocks. The iron striker has always had a strong hand, and this slap did not control the strength well, and slapped the unsuspecting little apprentice forward.
But a few steps ahead was the burnt red carbon trough, and the little guy staggered a few steps and fell dangerously into the carbon trough. The man was dumbfounded, and hurriedly reached out to pull it, but was blocked by the table in front of him and couldn't reach it at all.
If it really falls on the carbon trough, I'm afraid this child will be ruined for the rest of his life!
There seemed to be a smell of burnt 'hair' in the air, Lu Mengjian's whole heart rose to his throat, and he didn't think about rushing over in one step, reaching out and grabbing the back of the little guy agilely, and pulled it back violently.
The little guy was already unstable in his center of gravity, and he borrowed Lu Mengjian's strength and quickly stretched back, and his feet slipped and smashed directly on Lu Mengjian's body, and the two fell to the ground on all fours.
Lu Mengjian was pressed underneath, his buttocks were smashed as if he had fallen into four petals, and he grinned in pain, but he still looked at the little guy first, fortunately he pulled it back in time, and the little guy was fine, but the little hand first touched the edge of the carbon tank, and it was scalded with a layer of pink and translucent blisters, and the little hand was so painful that it danced in the air.
The man who struck the iron was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly picked up the apprentice from Lu Mengjian's body, but it was difficult to help, so he could only apologize again and again.
There was no weight on her body, Lu Mengjian struggled to sit up, her eyes turned to the side, and she couldn't help but feel that her scalp was numb for a while, and just five centimeters away from her head, there was a sharp axe, the blade of which was facing upward, and it was glowing with white light. Lu Mengjian couldn't help but be afraid for a while when he thought about it, if he had been lying down a little more at that time, he was afraid that his brain would have burst and he would have died.
His face turned pale with fright, and he recited a few words of "Amitabha" in his heart, and then he stood up cautiously and moved to the open space on the side.
"Qingzi, Qingzi," Blacksmith Liu shook his apprentice a few times, but Qingzi was still confused, looking at the person in front of him blankly, obviously not having recovered from Fang Cai's fright, which made Blacksmith Liu anxious.
Qingzi was originally sent by a neighbor to be an apprentice, the Liu family had no son, and saw that Qingzi was clever and willing to work, so he agreed to stay as an apprentice, but who knew that he had only been here for a few days, and he encountered this incident.
"Master Liu, this kid is probably frightened, he hasn't come back to his senses yet, just rest for a while, but I see that the injury on his hand is not light, go get a 'chicken' egg, and apply the egg white to the burned area," Lu Mengjian walked to Qingzi's side with his still somewhat weak 'legs', and took a closer look at the injured hand, fortunately, the burn was not serious, and it should not leave too much scar after recovery.
Liu blacksmith strikes iron all the year round, burns are already commonplace, if every burn is treated with egg white, it is inevitably a bit luxurious, but now he can't care so much, hurriedly ran to his backyard, there happened to be an egg in the kitchen, Liu blacksmith grabbed it in his hand and ran to the blacksmith.
