Chapter 491: The Cannon Fodder Cousin of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination (14)
After lavender, rosemary also ushered in the flowering period as promised.
It blooms longer than lavender and can bloom until the following spring if properly maintained.
However, compared to the noble and elegant dream purple, rosemary with white flowers is not so popular.
Until Xu Yin told the maid: "Don't look at the anthocyanin it is inconspicuous, but it has the effect of repelling insects and mosquitoes, calming and calming the nerves, and it is very useful." ”
When the people heard this, they immediately hugged a few flower pots over, transplanted a few plants, moved back to the tea garden courtyard, and put rosemary in the flowering period in the corner of the second courtyard and the places where it was easy to avoid insects.
I don't know if this flower really has a good effect, or the psychological effect of the big guy, in short, the mother-in-law is chatting in private, and the quality of sleep is much better than before recently.
The cook who was given a pot of rosemary also said that he had slept more soundly than before in the past few days, and he had fewer chaotic dreams.
At this age, the quality of sleep is good, and there is nothing to talk about in this part of calming and calming the nerves, but when they found that there were fewer small flying insects in the courtyard, they immediately listed rosemary as their favorite flower, and there was no one.
"Girl, don't really say it, when this flower is planted on the mountain, it is so light that it is easy to ignore it, but I didn't expect a single pot to be placed like this, and it is very beautiful."
Xu Yin: That's because you put a filter on it.
Roses and jasmine should bloom at this time if they are in the middle of summer, but unfortunately these two flowers are not hardy to cold, and they are not easy to bloom when the autumn wind blows.
But it's okay, loosen the soil, cultivate some nutrient soil, and raise the branches to grow stronger, and next spring and summer will definitely usher in their own flowering period.
Today, the cultivation of Spice Hill has entered a stable period.
The little ones sent out to look for sandalwood saplings, magnolia saplings, and laurel saplings had already returned, and the saplings they pulled back were planted along the foot of the mountain before autumn.
Like roses and jasmine, these saplings will grow taller and stronger throughout the winter.
The daily maintenance of flowers and saplings is staffed by villagers, and Xu Yin does not need to stay there all the time.
In her spare time, she followed the superficial knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine from the government medicine, starting from the number pulse, and absorbing this knowledge little by little.
Of course, she would go to Spice Flower Mountain every morning to exercise in the morning.
This small body, although much healthier than the sick beauties in the world of the queen of the movie, but the ancient daughter of the daughter, the door is not out of the door, there is too little exercise, just a few days ago, if she didn't take the health pill as a jelly bean, she really can't bear the high-intensity exercise of mountain climbing.
Now, exercising every day, even if the complexion is not as white as before, it is also compared with before, in her opinion, it is still white and red, like a healthy apple. How can the tanning of the purple kite be so exaggerated?
"Girl, the delivery of Liulifang is here, and this time it is said that it was successfully fired according to the girl's request."
On this day, she was reviewing the four diagnosis methods in the other hospital, and Xu Kui ran up to report.
When Xu Yin heard this, the distillation tool burned out? That must be checked.
"Let's go!"
She put down her notes, went back to the back room to change into her travel clothes, and led the way down the mountain.
As he walked, he asked Xu Kui: "After the fragrance workshop was built, it was cleaned inside and out, right?" ”
"Everything is packed up according to the girl's orders."
"That's good. Later, if the distillation tool is accepted well, we will assemble it and try it. ”
"Rest assured, the little one has asked the village chief to find a good person, and he can start work at any time."
"Okay! In the future, the fragrance workshop will be handed over to you to take care of. Technically, it belongs to me, and you can come to negotiate and manage personnel. ”
Xu Kui was moved when he heard this, and hugged his fists and arched his hands: "Thanks to the girl's weight, the small one will live up to the girl's trust, do his best to do errands and serve the girl!" ”
After being moved, I looked up and saw that the girl had already gone down to the mountainside, and hurriedly caught up:
"Girl, the mountain road is rough, you go slowly!"
The heart said that he was a big man, and he couldn't catch up with the girl's footsteps.
Xu Yin: The distance between you and your sister is just one pair of [Easy Insoles].
……
Xu Yin checked the distillation tools, confirmed that they were qualified and available, and asked Xu Kui to lead the guys from Liulifang to the end of the payment.
When Xu Kui came back, Xu Yin had already commanded the village chief to find the posterior to assemble it.
"Girl, you rest, just come here for this kind of rough work."
Xu Yin doesn't stare at it personally, where can she rest assured.
"It's okay, you have someone pull out a few more bundles of lavender and set them off."
It was still early for lunch, and she planned to try the water distillation method of No. 2 and the water distillation method of No. 3 respectively.
Look at the extraction of lavender essential oil, which method is more efficient.
After the extraction method of lavender is finalized, we will experiment with rosemary.
Xu Kui immediately sent a small servant up the mountain to spread the word, and asked the hired workers who maintained the flowers and trees on the mountain to pick a few baskets of lavender down.
He followed Xu Yin here.
Finally, the distillation equipment of the glazed version was fully assembled.
Lavender was also picked from the spice mountains.
Water distillation, as the name suggests, is to spread lavender on the upper half of the distillation barrel, and the lower half is filled with water to steam like steamed rice and vegetables.
As the water boils, the oil and aroma of lavender will continue to evaporate with the water vapor, which is condensed and separated from oil and water to obtain lavender essential oil.
Water distillation is the process of pouring water into a glass tube that surrounds it.
As heated, the air in the distillation vat gradually warms up, which evaporates the oil and aroma from the lavender.
Both methods extract lavender essential oil.
Based on the short duration, the content and quality of the extracted essential oils, Xu Yin came to a conclusion:
The water distillation method to extract lavender essential oil takes a short time and a large amount, but the purity of the essential oil is not as good as that of water distillation.
She came into contact with this business to complete the extra task of systematically releasing the "legendary fragrance that amazes the world", not just to make money in business, so she finally finalized the water distillation method to extract lavender essential oil.
Similarly, the subsequent test of rosemary essential oil finally proved that the essential oil extracted by water distillation was of higher purity and better quality.
Xu Yin clapped without hesitation: "Xu Kui, write it down!" Both of these flowers were later extracted with essential oils using equipment No. 3. ”
"Yes, girl."
After Xu Kui wrote it down, he didn't understand it and asked, "Girl, this essential oil is the fragrance you said?" ”
"Not exactly. But this one can also be used. ”
She collects lavender essential oil and rosemary essential oil, which she has extracted many times from her own efforts.
Hundreds of catties of lavender, and finally half a catty of essential oil was extracted.
The oil yield of rosemary is higher, and one pound of essential oil is extracted from one hundred catties.
Xu Yin and Liulifang customized a batch of 10ml brown bottles of essential oils, one bottle for each of the two flower types, and distributed them to the people below as a benefit.
The village chief and the junior students who helped assemble the equipment were also fortunate to be assigned to a group.
Let Xu Kui send the rest to Xu's spice shop to promote as a new product.
