Ye Yuran expressed her appreciation for Zhu Bamei's reaction: "Yes, the first one does cost a little osmanthus oil, but the effect is also different from the second one, you will know the difference if you have time to try it." As for the second type, in addition to using safflower cakes, you can also directly pick cochineal flowers, roses, gardenias, or any kind of red flowers you have ever seen, crush them finely, filter them with fine sand to remove the dregs, cool them dry, and then drip them with osmanthus oil. In this way, you will be able to get all kinds of rouge, whether it is the color or the fragrance, it is completely different. ”

Zhu Bamei's eyes widened, and she was surprised: "That mother's statement, if I change the color or something like making a bracelet, wouldn't there be more types of rouge?"

She couldn't figure out how many of them.

"So, you can do it seasonally. Usually remember to pick more flowers, do a good job of drying in the shade, and make more flower cakes, and then you can mix them yourself. ”

Zhu Bamei immediately understood, no wonder her mother had been asking her to pick more flowers and make more flower cakes, it turned out to be for this.

She was glad, fortunately she wasn't lazy at that time, and she did what her mother said, otherwise how much less rouge would she have now?

"It's a pity, osmanthus oil is a little too expensive, otherwise I can do all of this. In the end, Zhu Bamei still felt a little regretful.

When Ye Yuran heard this, she smiled and hooked the corners of her lips, and said slowly: "I know how osmanthus oil is made." ”

"Mother, I want to learn, tell me quickly, I want to make osmanthus oil. Zhu Bamei was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged her mother's arm and coquettishly.

She felt that she was simply not too happy, her mother was like a treasure chest, as long as she wanted to, her mother had a "secret recipe" here.

Why is her mother so?

"Do you know why osmanthus oil has an oil word?" Ye Yuran did not rush to say the formula, but asked a question.

Zhu Bamei shook her head: "I don't know, why?"

"Because you need oil. Ye Yuran said slowly, "I once saw a recipe in a book of "Incense Books", it said this, in the early morning, pick the fragrant wood rhinoceros half-open, pick off the stems and stalks, a bucket of high amounts, take a pound of sesame oil, mix it lightly, and put it in the porcelain. Seal the mouth of the can with thick oiled paper, sit in the kettle, boil it for a long time with heavy soup, take it out, and settle it in a dry place. Ten days later, pour it out, soak its clear liquid by hand, and collect it, the most important thing is to seal it and seal it the most. Over time, it will become more fragrant. In this way, the oil is evenly mixed into the yellow wax, which is the face grease and fragrant. ”

Zhu Bamei didn't expect her mother to say it well, but she hung up the nerd, making her a little confused: "Mother, can you put it simply, you know, I just endorsed the book, and I can't understand a lot of it." ”

She almost wanted to cry, what was picking fragrant wood rhino in the early morning, how much did she know that she was going to pick something called fragrant wood rhino in the morning, but God knows what fragrant wood rhino is?

There is still something behind the "hand and its clear liquid", completely confused.

Ye Yuran despised it: "Let you usually spend more time on the book, you also listen, now you have to suffer, right? Not only is it said in "Xiangpu", but also in another "Jingyue Quanshu, Ancient Eight Formations", 2 liters of osmanthus (half-opened) and 1 kg of sesame oil. Mix well and place it in a porcelain bottle, seal it with oil paper, boil 1 pot of soup in a kettle, put it in a dry place for 10 days, and filter. Topical. ”

Zhu Bamei couldn't believe it: "Mother, really, why do so many books have the formula of osmanthus oil? Then like my mother said, those literate people, wouldn't any family make this kind of thing? Then do they still need to buy it?

"Otherwise, why do you think I'm forcing you to read and write every day? Do you really think it's to say it? If you can't read, even if I send this book to you, you won't know it. Ye Yuran said on the ground.

Naturally, she wouldn't tell Zhu Bamei that the two books she said didn't exist in this era, and they were the ones she had read in her previous life.

She only needs to plant a seed in Zhu Bamei's heart, so that Zhu Bamei will realize inside and out what are the benefits of learning literacy, so that this girl will really study seriously, instead of being forced to study by her.

Who said that such a thing as reading books only works if the men who are going to participate in the imperial examination read it?

Look, if a woman learns it, is it any wonder that these recipes can't be found in books?

Well, you can definitely find it, but only if you have the book first.

Zhu Bamei clenched her fists and said firmly: "Mother, I really know that I am wrong, don't worry, I will definitely study hard in the future." Even for the recipes in the book, I spelled it. ”

Why does Zhu Bamei study, Ye Yuran doesn't care at all, as long as she is willing to learn.

As for whether Zhu Bamei will complain in the future, she can't see what she mentioned "Xiangpu", "Jingyue Quanshu, Ancient Fang Eight Arrays", she is not worried, and when the time comes, she will say: "Oh, you said these two books, I don't remember, I saw them when I was a maid in a big family." ”

In a word, send it directly.

"The production method of osmanthus oil is actually not very difficult, or it is a little troublesome, it needs to be picked early in the morning before the sky is fully bright. Because most of the osmanthus at this time are in a half-open state, it is the time when the fragrance is thick, and the osmanthus at this time is the most fragrant. ”

"After picking them back, they should be picked cleanly, and all the flower stalks should be picked, leaving only the flowers, and then they should be matched with sesame oil. Generally speaking, a bucket of osmanthus should be matched with a pound of oil. ”

After matching, put it in the porcelain jar together, press it solidly, and then seal the mouth of the can with oiled paper. ”

"After sealing, put the porcelain jar in the steamer, boil the water over high heat, and steam it about the time of a meal. ”

After cooking, put the porcelain jar in a dry place and let it stand for ten days to allow the osmanthus to fully absorb the oil. ”

"Ten days later, it's almost done, pour out the osmanthus and oil in the jar, and then grab the osmanthus full of oil with your hands, and the sesame oil squeezed out at this time is the fragrant osmanthus oil. ”

......

Zhu Bamei's eyes widened: "It turns out that osmanthus oil is made like this, no wonder it is so fragrant, it is really the fragrance of osmanthus." ”

"That's right, it's because osmanthus is more fragrant that osmanthus is used. If you want the fragrance of other flowers, you can also use other flowers, that is, what flowers are suitable and what flowers are not suitable, and this needs to be tried several times to know. ”

Zhu Bamei was speechless: "Sesame oil is not cheap, mother, let's talk about this later." ”

Ye Yuran smiled lightly: "I didn't expect you to know how to save money, and after doing manual work for so long, it's not bad to know this." ”

Zhu Bamei was a little embarrassed: "Isn't the bracelet going to be sold, how much it costs, how much money do you have to buy to make money, the fourth sister-in-law often counts with me, even if I am stupid, I have learned some." ”

At first, Zhu Bamei really couldn't figure it out, and she always felt that it was okay to sell it, so Li was more "shrewd", so she had to calculate the cost, and then calculate the money sold, calculate the difference, and see if she made a profit.

Don't look at the Li family, who didn't know how to count at that time, but Dabao and Erbao would call the two little guys over and promise to share their food in one bite to ensure that they can calculate clearly.
