Everyone looked at Zhang Yunli, and Aunt Liu asked with concern, "Yunli, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yunli immediately put on a soft and weak look: "It may be that the old injury has not healed yet." ”

The prime minister looked worried: "Old wounds? What's going on? ”

Zhang Yunli looks like she has been wronged, which is really good acting.

The maidservant next to Zhang Yunli replied: "Yesterday, our young lady just went to Tingyu Pavilion to find Boss Wang of the Jewelry Pavilion to customize a set of clothes to wear for the palace banquet, but I didn't expect to be blasted out as soon as I arrived at Tingyu Pavilion, and our young lady was injured because of this." ”

It seems that this breakfast was premeditated, and the slave and maid told the story of the incident in a way that took advantage of the advantages and avoided the disadvantages, and did not tell her own performance of being beaten at all.

"Yuwei, is this true?" The prime minister seemed to be a little unhappy, and Zhang Yunli was secretly happy on the side.

"It's true!" Yuwei is not secretive, and she is not afraid to go all over the world.

"Yesterday, my sister broke into my Tingyu Pavilion without permission and despite the persuasion of my maidservant, and she was still yelling. People say that the eldest brother is the father and the eldest sister is the mother, and seeing such a sister who doesn't understand the rules, she can only educate Aunt Liu. This is okay in your own house, if your sister at the palace banquet is so ignorant of the rules, if you accidentally break into a forbidden palace, it will be a big crime to punish the nine clans. If you make a fool of yourself at the palace banquet, I'm afraid that our whole house will become the laughing stock of the capital after dinner. ”

Yu Wei has a lot of words, but others can't even pick out a thorn in this statement. Qiu Yue next to her was secretly happy for her young lady, and the young lady was finally about to exhale and raise her eyebrows.

Grandmother opened her mouth first: "Yuwei is right, it's time for Yunli to learn the rules, it's always like this, it's not big or small, there are no rules at all, how to find a good person to marry in the future!" Tomorrow I will find a teaching grandmother for you, you first learn the rules well, you are not allowed to go anywhere, let me stay in the room, when you learn the rules and when you will follow me to the palace banquet. No one is allowed to intercede for her! ”

Aunt Liu, who wanted to intercede, suddenly closed her mouth obediently, after all, the old lady's status in the house is extremely high, and this is also for the sake of the whole house, plus the prime minister is a filial child, and she will not refute the old lady's choice.

Aunt Liu could only smile and say: "Yes, mother is thoughtful, Yunli, you can learn etiquette from Mama in the house." ”

"Mother! I don't.. Zhang Yunli's words were suppressed by Aunt Liu's eyes before she finished speaking.

Looking at Zhang Yunli's aggrieved appearance, Yuwei was in a good mood. This brunch (breakfast and lunch) is also extraordinarily generous.

The next day, the teaching grandmother went to Zhang Yunli's courtyard to teach etiquette, Zhang Yunli thought it was an ordinary grandmother, and still put on a lofty posture, not giving a good face to show the grandmother.

As everyone knows, this grandmother was invited from the palace by her grandmother, and she is used to seeing high-ranking officials and nobles, so she will not look at children like Zhang Yunli playing petty. Coupled with the old lady's instructions before coming, teaching Mama is naturally doing her best to teach.

The bowl filled with water on Zhang Yunli's head often happened before the palace banquet when she stood in the wind for a day, and Zhang Yunli complained bitterly, secretly regretting that she didn't have a good relationship with her mother at the beginning.

"Oops, Pingping, come and rub me, my whole body hurts so much that I don't look like my own." Zhang Yunli has been so tired every day recently that she doesn't want to move when she goes to bed, not so much that her grandmother is teaching her grandmother to teach her etiquette, but that she wants to rub her arrogance.

Now Zhang Yunli sees that she is respectful and respectful, and she teaches her to go east, but she doesn't dare to go west. When this news reached Tingyu Pavilion, everyone was very happy.

On the second day, the old friend invited by my grandmother came to the house as a guest, that is, the old grandmother who had served the emperor and the queen mother in the palace mentioned by my grandmother before, and the purpose of this visit was to teach Yuwei the etiquette in the palace.

Since she is an old friend of her grandmother, Yuwei didn't dare to slack off, just like her grandmother inquired about this grandmother's preferences early.

I know that this grandmother's name is Sun Liangyu, and this grandmother has eaten all kinds of delicacies and delicacies when she served the emperor and the queen mother in the palace, so my grandmother said that grandma Sun is a nostalgic person, and she prefers some home-cooked food from the people.

Yu Wei remembered several dishes, although Yu Wei's family is very wealthy, but when she studied abroad, she did everything herself, and she also learned the cuisine of different countries with foreign chefs in her spare time, so Yu Wei also had a little experience in cooking.

So Yuwei decided to cook by herself and cook a few dishes to welcome Grandma Sun.

"Xia He, you come to the kitchen to give me a hand. Dongxue, you take the family to help me pick up some dead branches and come back to light the fire. Qiuyue, you call a few housekeepers over and bring hoes and shovels. "Yuwei has a clear division of labor and is well arranged.

Under Yuwei's instructions, Qiu Yue took her family to find the place where the red soil was and dug a lot of mud. He also asked the other family members to dig a hole half a meter deep in the ground, and built a hollow pyramid around the hole from the bottom to the top.

Then the dry wood was put into the hollow hole and burned, and the red mud was burned black and hot under the blazing fire.

Yu Wei and Xia He were handling the ingredients in the kitchen, Yu Wei first washed the chicken and then stuffed mint into the chicken belly, then poured some liquor into it, smeared a little salt on the chicken, and wrapped the chicken with lotus leaves.

Then the fire of the "pyramid" was extinguished, the unburned dead branches were cleared, and corn, sweet potatoes and chickens were placed in a pit half a meter deep.

Finally, the pyramid mud bubbles are broken up and the food is baked with the residual heat of the mud bubbles, so that the food is not only stained with the fragrance of lotus leaves, but also locks in the original taste of the food.

After about 20 minutes, the sweet potatoes and corn were taken out, and the chickens were taken out after half an hour. While waiting for the chicken, Yuwei cooked chicken porridge and scalded a plate of wild vegetables.

The invited grandmother and grandma Sun had already sat down at the dinner table, and Yuwei acted as a commentator: "Ready to serve!" I saw the four of them serving dishes to the table one after another.

Yu Wei smiled and said, "Grandma Sun, today I personally cooked, made you a few home-cooked dishes, and asked you to give me guidance." ”

When Mama Sun saw these dishes, she couldn't help but think of her childhood, although her family was poor when she was a child, her brothers were united and her sisters were harmonious, and she lived a very happy life.

"The eldest lady can personally cook for the old slave, this is a great honor for the old slave, where can I say that I can guide it."

The grandmother on the side also quipped: "Liangyu, I only had the opportunity to eat the dishes made by Yuwei because of your blessing, I didn't know that this child could cook." ”

Mama Sun smiled: "I really want to taste it today!" ”

After a while, everyone swept away the dishes on the table, "Yuwei, thanks to you today, I haven't eaten such a special home-cooked meal for a long time." ”

"Grandma Sun, you're welcome, if you like it, you can stay in the house for a few more days, and I'll make it for you every day."

In the next few days, Mama Sun tried her best to teach Yuwei, and Yuwei learned all the etiquette, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

When you see a concubine who is older than herself, she should salute above the fifth grade; When you see the emperor/queen/queen mother, you should bow halfway.

Mama Sun specially instructed: "When you arrive in the palace, you can't talk nonsense, your eyes can't look randomly, and you can't trespass into places." For everything Grandma Sun said, Yuwei agreed one by one and silently remembered it in her heart.

During this period of learning etiquette, Yuwei did not forget to tell Dongxue to go out to look for a store, and finally found a store in the lively part of the city, and Yuwei decided to buy it after a field trip.

Because there are many dignitaries living in the city, and these dignitaries have ladies and ladies at home, the women have nothing to do at home and hold some banquets all day long, mainly to invite some female dependents of the same status to play.

First, you can get in touch with each other, and secondly, men are superior in officialdom, and women are also superior at home, who is the most beautiful, whose clothes are the most fashionable, and whose jewelry is the most valuable.

Yuwei just wants to use the idea of women's comparison to promote her skin care products.

After the store was put down, Yuwei saved enough working capital to make skin care products and bought a house outside the city. This house is very quiet and not eye-catching, and it is good to study skin care products and make a small workshop and warehouse.

In the following days, Yuwei often stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the shop and the cottage outside the city formed a three-point line.

He found a blacksmith to make a furnace, bought a large number of porcelain bottles, and collected fresh petals for the refining of essential oils.

Due to the vast land, pleasant climate, abundant talents and abundant resources, Furong is suitable for planting. And because of the limited materials in ancient times, plants are the most common and easily available in the country of Furong. Therefore, the skin care products that Yuwei decided to make are essential oils and essential oil peripheral products.

Yuwei uses the distillation method to mix fresh plant petals and distilled water into the still according to a certain proportion, boil it on the fire, and use the water vapor to carry out the strong plant aromatic essential oils to form a water vapor state containing essential oils; After a cooling process, the temperature difference is used to condense into a liquid state, so that the pure dew water is separated.

In the next few days, Yuwei took spring, summer, autumn and winter to the house outside the city to carry out secret manufacturing.

Due to the limited process of refining utensils, after repeated experiments, we finally succeeded in separating the water and oil from the plants. The separated water is hydrosol, and the other part of the oil is essential oil.

Looking at the bottles of exquisite porcelain bottles, Chunhua couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what are these?" ”

Yu Wei said proudly: "The water contained in this big porcelain is hydrosol, that is, the extract from plants. The small porcelain contains essential oils, which are volatile aromatic substances extracted from plants."

"Miss, this water is so fragrant, it actually retains the floral fragrance of roses. Is this thing drunk or used? Qiu Yue opened a bottle of rose hydrosol and smelled it, and asked impatiently.

"This hydrosol can be used to apply both the face and drink, take this bottle of rose hydrosol in your hand as an example, rose hydrosol has a comprehensive balance effect, for normal skin, it can enhance skin radiance, for oily skin, it can balance oil secretion, for dry skin, it can quickly replenish moisture, for sensitive skin, it can eliminate redness, reduce sensitivity, for gray and dull skin, it can enhance skin vitality, people of almost all skin types can use rose hydrosol, reflecting extraordinary beauty effects."

Xia He jumped up happily: "Wow! Miss, can you give me a bottle of this hydrosol too? ”

Yu Wei smiled: "No problem! Not only do you have to try these products, but you also have to learn from them, and I want you to promote them! "Patiently explain the use and efficacy of hydrosols and essential oils to spring, summer, autumn and winter.

No, it will be dark after a while.

In the coming month, under the continuous trial and sharing in spring, summer, autumn and winter, all the slaves and maids in Tingyu Pavilion used the hydrosols and essential oils made by Yuwei. And the effect is remarkable.

As we get closer to the opening of the store, Yuwei is confident, but she never expects to meet a man on the day of the store's opening, making her journey to ancient times unusual.
