Chapter 195: Extract
“…… The slave maid heard that the balm is made of mixed spices and powdered into flour, and the honey is refined and then stored, did the young lady use the wrong method? Hearing Mu Wanqiu's faint sigh, Mo Xue's voice paused, and she hurriedly changed her words, "...... Isn't it...... Lady's drink is too much? ”
After staying up for a few days and nights, this is already the twenty-seventh bottle of "wine cream" made by her young lady, either greasy or alcoholic, in short, how pungent and pungent it is, she really doesn't want to hit Mu Wanqiu, who is obsessed with perfumery to the point of almost madness.
Shaking her head, Mu Wanqiu sighed and said nothing.
The balm in Mo Xue's mouth and the extract she wanted to make were completely different things.
The balm that Mo Xue said is that the concocted spices are ground and combined according to the recipe, the honey is mixed into a paste, and it is put into a porcelain jar to seal the cellar, and it is also smoked with fire, which is classified as "incense" together with the incense pills.
The extract she was going to make was different, according to Wei, this extract was a more refined perfume, and Wei's also gave it a strange name, called "solid perfume", some like the essence she had refined before, which could be used to mix other fragrances, or applied directly to the skin, Weiss said, this kind of incense was more earthy and natural than the incense smoked on clothes, and the fragrant smell seemed to emanate from the body, not like the exaggerated spread of incense to the surroundings.
Think about it, if you can really refine it, how wonderful that feeling would be?
It's just that all the steps are right, why can't she mix the wonderful solid perfume that Wei said?
What was wrong with her?
I carefully recalled the process of making the balm:
First, fill the petals into a glass bottle, soak them in soybean oil, and then dry them in the sun for 12 hours, then filter out the petals and throw them away, add fresh petals, dry them again, filter them again, add petals, and ...... Finally, it is condensed to make an extract.
The same goes for alcohol, "after the extracted perfume is fractionated and concentrated, the extract is ......" is the original saying in Wei's perfumery, yes, she does it.
How could it be the opposite of the pleasant, fresh and natural aroma described by Wei, and it was full of pungent smell of oil and wine?
I want to take the book and reconfirm it, is it that she remembers it wrongly.
Stretched out her hand and rubbed it on the case for a long time, only to remember that the Wei perfume had already been burned by her.
Could it be that she is mistaken?
Recalling it carefully, she shook her head vigorously, "...... She clearly remembered that this passage was on the one hundred and twenty-eighth page of Wei's perfumery, and that she had accidentally stained the ink in the lower left corner of the page, and she was so distressed that she found cinnabar and carefully turned it into a small plum blossom......
Reading that passage at that time, she was very curious that it was "alcohol", at that time, because there was no silver, she didn't even dare to think about the complicated distillation pot, there was no alcohol, she once tried to steal Lin's lamp oil to refine, at that time it was a fishy smell of strong grease, like moldy and spoiled pork.
At that time, she had no money, she couldn't afford to buy glass bottles, she used a heavy and clumsy ceramic jar that she had picked up from the garbage heap, and at that time she attributed the failure to the ceramic jar and the lack of alcohol, and she didn't take it to heart, so she gave up......
Picking it up again and experimenting with it, the past is vivid, yes, she can't be wrong
I picked a small piece of rose extract, gently rolled it with my hand, and placed it under my nose.
Holding back a wave of disgust on her chest, she sniffed it attentively, the pungent smell of oil was faintly filled with a faint fragrance of roses, which outsiders could not smell, after two years of tireless practice, her nose was already strangely sensitive, and she only inhaled it, and she smelled it.
This means that the method is correct, and the fragrance in those rose petals has been refined by her, only masked by the strong smell of oil.
How so?
In any case, if she can't make the extract that Wei said, it means that she is still wrong.
It's just, what is wrong with her?
"It's sunny outside, why don't you go out and relax......" Seeing Mu Wanqiu's brows twisted into pimples, she sat there stubbornly, holding bottles of failed extracts in her hands and flicking them around, Mo Xue didn't feel a little distressed.
Her young lady has been stuffy in the house for seven or eight days.
"Scattered...... Mu Wanqiu muttered unconsciously, her eyes fell on the few bottles of oil-soaked petals drying on the shelves outside the window, and said in her mouth, "The rose petals are running out, the azaleas are blooming just right, you go pick some......"
Wei's refining floral fragrance, some use oil, some use wine, could it be that the flowers she chose are wrong?
"Pick ......" Mo Xue shuddered, "Miss still wants to pick it?" Looking at the more than 20 bottles of rose extract on the case, and then looking at the dozen or so colorful glass bottles on the shelves outside, Mo Xue secretly complained in her heart.
These days, she brought the two little maids she had just bought, so to speak, picking flowers and picking up hand cramps
At the foot of the jacquard, her whole head was big.
"Miss......" Mo Xue Qi called Ai Ai.
She wanted to discuss, could they play a different game?
Obviously, that floral extract can't be done, and Mo Xue found out for the first time that her young lady was stubborn, simply......
It's like a stone
No, more stubborn than a stone.
She didn't have the words to describe it.
Her lips moved, and she looked at Mu Wanqiu reluctantly, thinking about how to make her young lady learn to give up.
"Let's go......" retracted her gaze and found that Mo Xue was still standing there, so Mu Wanqiu urged.
"Miss, or ......"
Or, let's go to the world and have a look, the business is booming.
Seeing that the business of Yipin is booming in the world, and there is a lot of silver in the account, Miss's mind will be transferred, right? No mistakes in many words
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mu Wanqiu, "Or let Mo Yu buy a few more little girls and pick all kinds ......of petals for me" In an instant, she figured it out, she couldn't just use a rose to experiment, the number of petals is still as many as possible.
You might be able to make it with some kind of flower.
Is her young lady ready to do a big job?
Her face was bitter for a while, and Mo Xue reluctantly replied.
……
Failed again
Looking at the bottle of pungent azalea extract in front of him, Mu Wanqiu felt crazy in his heart.
Holding Wei's perfumery, since her debut, she has done it, everything is too smooth, and the smoothness makes her unable to bear such a failure.
The powder fist clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, and the back of his hand was bruised, and Mu Wanqiu barely controlled herself from dropping a bottle of bright red crystal clear azalea extract to the ground.
Pushing away the pile of floral fragrance extracts in front of her, Mu Wanqiu stood up suddenly, and walked quickly to the south window, even after taking a few deep breaths, she couldn't break free from the madness of failure.
The bright and dazzling sun gradually turned into a large red fireball, dyeing the western half of the sky red, and gradually, the earth was covered with a layer of gray mist......
Suddenly waking up from the silence, Mu Wanqiu turned around, and before she knew it, the whole room was shrouded in twilight, the high test frame, the oval rose chair, the clumsy distillation pot, the countless bottles and jars on the long table on the west side, everything was gray and unreal.
After staring at it for a while, Mu Wanqiu shook her head, "...... I'm carried away by success, I'm so impetuous."
thought that at the beginning, she wouldn't, almost all over Shuoyang's large and small incense shops, no one was willing to ask her, and she never gave up; In countless cold nights, looking at every word in Wei's perfumery technique like a book from heaven, she never gave up, she still read and memorized it tirelessly, and memorized those awkward words upside down.
At that time, she became so impetuous?
With a faint sigh, Mu Wanqiu came to the desk in a few steps, she carefully helped up the floral extract that had been pushed down on the desk in the morning, and put it neatly one bottle at a time, and in her slow movements, there was a calmness that broke through the red dust.
"Miss, look at ......" was fiddling, Mo Xue ran in with a stack of exquisite embroidery, and saw Mu Wanqiu busy in the dark shadows, and was not surprised, "...... Why doesn't Miss light the lamp? He put the embroidery on the rose chair, reached over the fire on the shelf, and lit the long candle in front of the desk.
"Where did you go all afternoon?" The movements of his hands did not stop, and Mu Wanqiu asked.
“…… The slave went to see the excitement. Mo Xue grinned and said, "There are several big dragon boats erected on the Liangma River outside the city, and they are being decorated with red colors...... He added, "Let's go and see the Dragon Boat Festival together." Shui Lingling's big eyes were full of anticipation.
There is also a dragon boat race in Pingcheng, but it is not as lively as the big cause.
"Okay......" Rarely, Mu Wanqiu nodded, picked up a bottle of azalea extract and looked at the candle flame carefully.
"Really ......" Her young lady is almost crazy about perfumery, and even the first product of Doujin can't arouse her interest, and now when she heard her personally promise to go out to play, Mo Xue seemed to hear the sound of heaven, she raised her head excitedly, and saw the azalea extract in Mu Wanqiu's hand at a glance, "...... Miss done? ”
No wonder she's in such a good mood
As she spoke, Mo Xue reached out and took it, not as careful as before, she opened the lid and took a sharp sip, and then retched, the bottle in her hand almost fell to the ground, and was picked up by Mu Wanqiu, "You ...... carefully" The corners of her mouth moved, and she rarely laughed out loud.
She still treats such a bad smelling thing as a baby
“…… What a weird person" muttered in her heart, and Mo Xue said, "Miss is sincerely deceiving the slave." I still wanted to complain a few words, remembering that she lost a million that year and was so calm, I thought she was lying to herself, so I shook my head weakly.
With such a calm master who doesn't take everything to heart except for perfumery, she can only consider herself unlucky.
His eyes fell on the stack of embroidery that he had just brought in, so he picked it up, "Miss, look, is it good?" Shake open a piece for Mu Wanqiu to see.
"Hmm......" Her mind was full of floral extracts, Mu Wanqiu only glanced at it, and her mouth snorted.
"The best Loukong embroidery is better than that of the Liuji Embroidery Workshop......" Mo Xue happily put the embroidery under the candlelight, "Today, the Baiji Embroidery Workshop is open, all the show products are all eighty fold, there is a long queue in front of the door, the slave maid is easy to squeeze on, and it is summer, and the things on the young lady's bed should also be changed......" chattering endlessly, Mo Xue picked up another piece and compared, "This is the legendary moon shadow veil, it is said that this is used as a window screen, the sun shines in, and it is like a hazy moonlight, just to make a curtain for the young lady...... "A product of the world is making gold every day, After that, Mo Xuehua Silver was not so budget-conscious.
Now that there is silver, her young lady's things naturally need to be the best.
"Okay...... Mu Wanqiu picked a small piece of rose extract with a copper chopstick, put it in a clean small glass bottle, then poured some alcohol, plugged the cork, picked it up and shook it vigorously with his hand, and responded with a match in his mouth, "...... Which white record? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
