Chapter Twenty-Eight: Creams

In order to avoid losses, Ye Xuanxuan decided to use more than a dozen boxes of bad facial fat to prepare for the experiment.

She hadn't seen any of these yet, so she wasn't sure they could be used as creams or lotions.

After opening a few boxes of creams, I took a look. They are a bit thicker than modern creams, but pick out some with your fingers and smell them. There is a very faint fishy smell, it must be made of animal fat! If you use animal fat, it will be more moisturizing and moisturizing, and in ancient times, because the technology was not mature, only animal fat was found to be more suitable. The color of these creams is white, but the fragrance is not there, and it is estimated that it was found to be bad before the fragrance was added.

I don't know what the successful dough fat in the merchant's house is, and I forgot to ask at the time. But it's not hard to guess that it should just be thicker than this, and then it's more fragrant!

Since it's not as good as rouge and gouache, this one can be tried.

Ye Xuanxuan called Ye Bao'er to sort out the flower classifications with her, and asked Ye Erya if there was a jar suitable for holding things at home.

This time, she had to extract the essence of the flowers first, which is equivalent to naturally treating the flavor and color of the flowers so that they can be released.

Ye Xuanxuan and Ye Bao'er separated the types and colors of those flowers, and then put them in earthen pots and soaked them in distilled water, and after a period of time, their colors and flavors came out before they could be further processed.

There are very few earthen pots in this house, so there are barely five that can be used. This is still what Ye Baoer is looking for everywhere, under the bed, in the cabinet, all the places that can be turned over to find these jars that are not used at home. Wash it well, rinse it over boiling water, and set aside.

The earthen jar is only about 20 centimeters high, with a round belly, and some resembles a wine jar and a pickle jar. However, there is no taste, and it should not have been filled with pickles.

In this case, there were only a few things to make, and she divided the bright red camellia, the pink wild plum, the yellow osmanthus, the white jasmine, and the yellow chrysanthemum and honeysuckle. Put them in a jar, add distilled water, and take a little salt and the wine in the right proportions. Finally, tie it tightly with a lot of leaves and hay, and you're done.

Each color is placed in a jar, and the last chrysanthemum and honeysuckle are put together because they both have a fire-clearing effect, and the two flowers are similar in color. This can be made into a cream used to remove acne and heat. I think it's easy to sell!

The rest of the remaining white plum blossoms, as well as some faint flowers of other varieties, were still set aside. She was going to mash these together to make a potpourri rouge.

In fact, she didn't know how to do this at all before, and she didn't know much about them.

After all, in modern times, who has time to do this! Moreover, most of the new flowers in modern times are artificially cultivated, so naturally there are no such wild ones. Others also buy it directly with money, and no one would do this in modern times.

I would also like to thank my hometown for receiving so many ancient books.

There are a lot of books of this kind in it, such as 'Jade Skin Rejuvenation', 'Ten Thousand Miles of Potpourri Book' and so on. All of them describe how makeup and various skin care products are made, and they are all handmade using ancient methods.

This is exactly what she wants, at least now that she can use it in this era!

Ye Xuanxuan was not verbose, and asked Ye Baoer and Ye Erya to help, and the three of them also moved the jar under her bed.

After doing this, Ye Xuanxuan saw that there was already a big bowl of distilled water in the kitchen, so Ye Erya didn't have to be busy.

She found an object that could grind things, and it was made of stone, which in this day should be called mortar. It looks like a cup, but it's higher than a cup. There is also a cylindrical strip made of stone that can be used to pick things.

The flowers that have released most of the mortars are scattered and the pink, white and red flowers are finally finished. After washing, I came to pinch the yellow or light yellow ones, but I separated the osmanthus from the plum. After all, the scent of both flowers has its own characteristics, and it is better to get them together before you know what it will become.

After all these were done, Ye Baoer didn't know where to take out a palm-sized potbelly earthen jar, which was just used to hold potpourri paste. Some other osmanthus and plum blossoms are found in small bowls and then wrapped in large leaves. There's really no place to put this, and it looks like I'm going to have to buy some earthen jars or jars next time I go to town.

After the three of them finished it, they cleaned up the yard of the house and rested.

Ye Xuanxuan couldn't stop, she was sitting, her head was still spinning. She wants to collect the morning dew of all kinds of flowers every morning, and only the earliest morning dew can be added to achieve the effect. But it's inconvenient to think of your lame legs! And there's work to do in the morning. Ye Xuanxuan had to let go of this thought.

Even these have kept them busy for half an hour, and it is almost noon when they look at the sun.

Ye Erya got up and prepared to cook, and Ye Xuanxuan and Ye Baoer started to fight.

In fact, she really wanted to buy some meat or other meat dishes, but she couldn't go when she thought that Lu Shi and Ye Jin were coming back.

If they find a trace, they won't be able to tell, and it's not appropriate to tell Ye Youfu now.

Ye Xuanxuan, who dispelled these thoughts, was very depressed, after all, she had a small asset before coming here! Now that she is back before liberation, she is very helpless.

Alas! If only there were no Lu and Ye Jin here.

This is just a momentary thought, and Ye Xuanxuan won't really do anything.

The brown rice made by Ye Erya at noon was steamed with sweet potatoes.

When he was frying vegetables, Ye Youfu also came back from the field, and when he entered the door, he saw that the three babies were still leaning on each other and sitting in the kitchen waiting for him to eat. I grinned and happily washed my hands.

Stir-fried wild vegetables and omelets eaten at noon, as well as hot sauce.

Although she wanted to eat something good, Ye Xuanxuan knew that she didn't even think about it now.

After eating quietly, Ye Youfu looked at the sky and didn't go out again. After only a few words, he went back to the house to rest, "Dad go and take a rest, I shouldn't have to go to the field tomorrow, it looks like it should rain tomorrow." ”

Ye Xuanxuan will be skeptical.

After the three of them were busy cleaning up, the three sisters and brothers all went to Ye Xuanxuan's room to get together and chat.

Ye Erya was thinking about things in her heart, and she always looked worried. Ye Baoer didn't care about anything, she talked to Ye Xuanxuan about herself, and the chatter was so lively.
