In March, the flowers in the south of the Yangtze River are blooming, and the east wind blows the rain and wets the moss;

I don't know where the spring is going, but the green mountains send guests.

On the outskirts of Xudu, there is a peach forest, covering an area of several acres, endlessly.

Winter goes to spring, the peach blossoms bloom all over the mountain, and the fragrance is ten miles.

This is also a good place for many scholars and beauties to go for spring.

Ordinary people don't have time to come, and only during the New Year's holidays, they will bring their families out to play.

Outside the peach forest, there are vendors pushing carts or carrying burdens, selling all kinds of pastries and food, or small toys or amulets.

On this day, a carriage slowly drove towards the peach forest and stopped outside the peach forest.

"Yuzhu girl, the peach forest has arrived, get out of the car."

It was Cao Bin who was driving the car, and after he stopped the horses, he said to the people in the carriage.

"Ah, Gongzi Cao, has Taolin arrived?"

Soon, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a pretty woman.

A pink dress, with a copper step sway obliquely inserted on the tassel bun, hanging down a little beaded curtain, among the birds, the jade face is crying, and the fine willow is alive.

Cao Bin held her pink arm and stepped out of the carriage.

"I heard that the peach blossom cake here tastes very beautiful, let's buy some and eat it."

It seems to be asking, but in fact, Cao Bin has come to a small stall and asked the stall owner to weigh some peach blossom cakes.

"Okay."

Chen Yuzhu glanced at him with a shy face and tapped his head.

The first time she went out to play with Cao Bin alone, she was a little excited, a little expectant, and a little nervous.

Today is neither a festival nor a mid-day holiday, and those who can go to the peach forest are all idle scholars.

Fortunately, after some time ago, after the anti-crime and evil crackdown, a lot of gentlemen were arrested, otherwise, someone should have come to molest at this time.

This is also the reason why Mr. Chen is relieved to let his daughter come out with Cao Bin.

"Come and try it, it's delicious."

After waiting for a while, Cao Bin paid off the money and bought a small bag of peach blossom cake.

He took out a piece and handed it to Chen Yuzhu's mouth.

Chen Yuzhu involuntarily opened his cherry mouth and took a bite gently.

"Ah, the softness is moderate, sweet and delicious, there is a surging peach blossom fragrance, and the taste is really good."

When the pastry reached his mouth, Chen Yuzhu couldn't help laughing, his eyes bent into a crescent moon.

"If you like it."

Cao Bin smiled and nodded.

The two walked and chatted and stepped into the peach forest.

I saw that the flowers bloomed like fire, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, flowers bloomed like the sea, and the peach forest became a sea of flowers.

The buds of the peach forest are blooming, and the dense branches seem to be full of miniature light bulbs, and the strings of pink flowers are like pearls.

The buds of the stars, swaying happily in the spring breeze with the branches, seem to have become a world of flowers and rain.

The peach blossoms in full bloom in the garden, the sea of flowers, Ziyan spread her wings and fanned the waves of incense.

Weave through the peach grove and hold on to a wisp of fragrance.

With colorful taste, I walked into the peach forest and was washed bright by the fragrance of peach blossoms.

—The spring of the year is coming to an end, and the scenery of thousands of miles comes into view;

Mo Dao Peach Blossom has no information, and Dongjun still regrets Zhu Yan.

The peach blossoms are in full bloom all over the mountain, and a burst of peach blossom fragrance enters the nose, which is refreshing and pleasant.

"Miss Yuzhu, where is your hometown?"

The two walked for a while, then found a clean place to sit down, Cao Bin asked.

"My hometown is Pei County, Yuzhou, and I moved to Xudu the year before last."

Pinching the corners of his clothes, Chen Yuzhu's red lips opened lightly, and he said softly: "By the way, Cao Gongzi can call me Yuzhu, and you don't need to shout from the girl." ”

"Okay, we are already engaged, sooner or later we will be a family, you don't have to be polite, just call me by name."

Cao Bin was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Yuzhu, your hometown is from Pei County, then we are not far apart, I grew up in Qian County since I was a child, and I only came to Xudu last year." ”

"That's... I'll just call you Cao Lang. ”

After Chen Yuzhu finished speaking, he lowered his head shyly and asked softly, "How did you grow up in Qian County?" ”

"Back then, my father died in Wancheng, and my grandmother, who raised my father, was very sad and left my father and returned to live in Qian County."

Cao Bin said: "Later, I learned that my father's personal maid was fortunate to be sent by my father, and she was pregnant, and I was born. ”

"But my mother's life is not good, she went after giving birth to me, and I was raised by my grandmother since I was a child."

"It wasn't until last year that Grandma told me about my background, and it turned out that I was the grandson of Prime Minister Cao."

"Then, I came to Xudu and became Cao Gongzi."

Cao Bin has no impression of his parents who have never met, and naturally he can't talk about parental affection.

Therefore, when he said these words, his expression did not change at all, as if he were telling an insignificant past.

"Haven't you seen Grandma and Daddy since you were a child? It's pathetic. ”

Chen Yuzhu's eyes were slightly red when he heard this, and the eyes that looked at him revealed a trace of pity.

Although her family is not rich and expensive, it is also a well-off family, and she is even more favored by her parents.

She feels quite happy for such a life, and she is very grateful to her parents.

Suddenly, I heard that Cao Bin had never seen his parents since he was a child, and he didn't know his life experience, and only one grandmother depended on him.

It wasn't until last year that I learned about my background.

Comparing the two, she felt that Cao Bin was too pitiful.

"Poor no, I don't think so! With a well-behaved and sensible fiancée like you, how can I be pitied? ”

Cao Bin turned his head, looked at her with blazing eyes, and said affectionately.

"Ah, you man..."

Caught off guard, Chen Yuzhu couldn't help blushing, and his heart was very sweet.

"The world is uneven, the princes are divided, and the turmoil is unstable, and I don't have too much heart to grieve the spring and autumn."

Cao Bin grabbed her soft and played with her, and said to her: "I won't have too much time to play with you in the future, I hope you can understand." ”

"After a while, I will lead my troops south and recover the four counties of Jingnan."

During this time, because he had to train soldiers, he was able to spare himself and have time to go out with her.

As soon as the soldier's training was completed, he would go south to Jingzhou to crusade against Liu Bei.

Therefore, in order to be afraid that she would think too much, Cao Bin first clarified this matter.

"It's okay, it's important, we're still young, and we will have time in the future."

When Chen Yuzhu heard this, he was very considerate and did not complain, but comforted him in turn.

She knew that her future husband was the grandson of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and he would definitely be busy with national affairs.

She took a day out to spend with her today, and she was already very happy.

"If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight."

Caressing her face, Cao Bin said softly: "When the world is peaceful in the future, I will accompany you to walk all over the world and see all the beautiful scenery, okay?" ”

"If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight..."

Hearing these two poems, Chen Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and he felt very appropriate.

Free and smooth, easy to understand, but also graceful and subtle, it makes people have an endless aftertaste.

She was very surprised in her heart, she couldn't imagine that her future husband would have such a good literary talent.

"Okay, a word is a certainty, wait for the world to be peaceful, let's walk through the mountains and rivers of Kyushu together, and see the beautiful scenery of the world."

Chewing on these two poems, Chen Yuzhu's beautiful eyes were shining, and he said emotionally.

"Okay, pull the hook and hang yourself, for a hundred years, you are not allowed to change."

Cao Bin hooked her little finger with her little finger, like a three-year-old child, and made a promise for the future.

"Giggle..."

Chen Yuzhu covered his mouth and laughed softly.

"By the way, what else are you doing every day besides helping Lord Taishan sell Fuli every day?"

After the two made an appointment for the future, Cao Bin asked curiously.

"I, in addition to helping Daddy and Grandma sell Fuli, I usually read books and become a female celebrity."

Chen Yuzhu stroked the hair on his sideburns, lowered his head and said.

"Hmm... So, I have a business here, would you like to try it? ”

When Cao Bin heard this, he looked at the peach blossoms in front of him, and his heart flashed and he asked out loud.

He suddenly thought of an industry, or rather a very profitable business.

Perfume business!

It is just right to hand over this business to Chen Yuzhu to run it!

"Oh? What does it do? I'm afraid I won't. ”

Chen Yuzhu was a little curious and a little hesitant, he didn't understand at all, for fear of delaying Cao Bin's livelihood.

"It's okay, I'm also inspired by seeing the peach blossoms in front of me."

Cao Bin stood up, picked a bunch of peach blossoms and handed it to her, and said, "I was thinking, although the sachet is easy to carry, it can't be stored for a long time, and the fragrance will soon be evaporated." ”

"So, I wondered if I could preserve the fragrance and make it easy to carry and make it so that people could smell fresh all over their bodies."

The method of making perfume is not difficult, but it is not available in this era.

In this day and age, although there are sachets, they are 108,000 miles worse than perfumes.

If the perfume is studied, it will form a dimensionality reduction blow and sweep the market invincible.

Not to mention how much money he can make, Cao Bin doesn't care about money.

He just wanted to find something for Chen Yuzhu to do, so that she wouldn't have nothing to do after she went on the expedition.

"Preserving the scent, this... How difficult! ”

When Chen Yuzhu heard this, his face was immediately full of confusion, and he felt a bit like listening to a book from heaven.

The materials of the sachet include Atractylodes, Kaempfera, Baizhi, Calamus, Huoxiang, Peilan, Chuanxiong, Xiangfu, Mint, Citron, Xinyi, Artemisia Leaf and other precious spices.

Its function is to prevent mosquitoes, and the fragrance enhancement is only incidental.

Moreover, the taste is completely different from the floral fragrance.

Therefore, when she heard Cao Bin say that she wanted to preserve the fragrance of flowers, she felt very novel and unclear.

It's just that even if she broke her head, she didn't figure out how to preserve the fragrance of flowers?

"I figured out a way to collect the flowers, dry them in the shade, and..."

Cao Bin smiled proudly, if you thought of it so easily, the perfume would have come out a long time ago.

So, he organized the language and explained the methods of refining perfume in later generations.

In fact, this thing is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say.

The first step is to make essential oils.

Collect the flowers at their best bloom, dry them directly or slightly in the shade, and distill them in a still to produce essential oil liquid.

The second step is to make alcohol.

In the same way, with the method of multiple distillations, a high degree of alcohol is obtained.

The third step is the initial treatment of alcohol.

In this step, there are two methods, purification and aging.

Purification is generally done by adding alkali reflux method or potassium permanganate oxidation method, and the chemical agents used in this step are not easy to get, so you can only give up!

The aging method is simple, generally high-temperature aging, which is a traditional method of alcohol aging.

The temperature of the alcohol is controlled between 50 and 60 degrees, on the one hand, the temperature of the wine rises, the low boiling point substances in the wine are volatilized, and the quality of the wine is improved;

On the other hand, it accelerates the friction and impact of molecules in the wine, and promotes the association of molecules with each other.

Of course, it is also possible to put the alcohol directly into the pottery jar for sealing, but this method is relatively slow and usually requires more than three years of storage.

The fourth step is to mix.

Put the alcohol, flavor and water into the container according to a certain proportion, stir and mix for a period of time, so that the impurities in the flavor can fully precipitate.

As a result, the clarity of the finished product and its resistance to turbidity in cold conditions are greatly improved.

The fifth step is aging.

Once the perfume is mixed, it is aged in an airtight container.

It is aged by mechanical stirring, air bubbling, infrared and ultraviolet light irradiation, ultrasonic treatment, mechanical vibration, etc.

The time required for aging is generally about three months.

Step 6, Filtering.

When the perfume is exposed to a lower temperature, it becomes translucent or foggy, and then it will no longer clarify if it is warmed again, and it will remain cloudy.

Therefore, it must be frozen before filtration to make it as pure as water.

The final step is bottling.

There is nothing to say about this step, customize a batch of ceramic bottles of the same specification as containers, so as to unify the sales price.

In this way, the perfume is complete and ready for sale.

"Distill it into essential oils .... Add alcohol again... Mix... Filtering..."

After listening to Cao Bin's narration, Chen Yuzhu really felt that he was listening to the book of heaven.

She knew the meaning of every word he said, but when she put it together, she didn't understand it, and she had a feeling of not being able to understand it.

"In this way, let's catch up with tomorrow and find a place to try it, and I'll make it on the spot and show it to you."

Seeing Chen Yuzhu's bewildered expression, Cao Bin knew that she understood for a while, and then continued.

"Mm-hmm, that's for the best."

Chen Yuzhu nodded, and then said a little frustratedly: "Am I stupid?" I still don't understand after listening to your explanation! ”

"How come, Yuzhu, you are smart in ice and snow, captivating the country and the city, and showing off your talents."

Holding her hand, Cao Bin said gently: "In my opinion, you are better than the vulgar fans in the world!" ”

"Virtue."

Chen Yuzhu glanced at him, but his heart was beautiful.

Cao Bin pulled her into his arms, smelled the fragrance on her body, and was very satisfied.

"It's hard to come out and play once, let's not talk about this for now, let's continue to enjoy the flowers."

The two of them warmed up for a moment, and Cao Bin hurriedly let her go gently and changed the topic.

His heart was hot, but he always remembered that he was only twelve years old, and he didn't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

"Okay."

Chen Yuzhu blushed, stroked his scattered hair, and bowed his head in response.

The two held hands, stood up, and smiled at each other.
