Chapter 607: Perfume

The brand-new spice Jiang Xingchen said is actually perfume. It's not difficult to say this kind of thing, which is to dissolve a certain percentage of plant essential oils with alcohol.

But in fact, it is not very easy to make plant essential oils, some plants need to use distillation, some need to use solvent method, and some use pressing method, which one has several classifications, just distillation method has water distillation, steam distillation and so on.

In the previous life, the female friend of the third child in Jiang Xingchen's dormitory was a perfume fan, and even the third child often looked up some perfume information on the Internet, and the brothers in the same dormitory knew a little about it.

However, the understanding is also very limited, they are all methods of extracting the essence of natural plants, and as for the flavors blended by some chemical methods, Jiang Xingchen does not know.

After coming to the research institute and telling Xian Ning her thoughts, Xian Ning was very surprised, can the water be fragrant, how to get it, is it necessary to integrate the incense powder into the water, she is a little puzzled.

Jiang Xingchen smiled and explained to her, hearing that Xian Ning was dumbfounded, it was incredible that fragrant oil could be extracted from the petals.

After the general method was finished, Jiang Xingchen drew the distillation device he saw in the previous life on paper with his memory. For this stage, it is more effective to use distillation.

Pushing the drawn figure to Xian Ning, Jiang Xingchen reminded the distillation device that it was best to use cold iron. Although cold iron is also called iron, it is completely different from iron, just like the material used in copper coins is yellow silver, and purple gold has nothing to do with gold.

The reason why cold iron was chosen is because it is compared to iron. It is more difficult to be oxidized. If you use iron equipment, you are afraid that it will rust in two days, and the essential oil will be full of impurities. It doesn't work at all.

Of course, stainless steel was the best, but he couldn't make that alloy right now.

After handing over this task to Xian Ning, Jiang Xingchen left in a hurry, he had to find someone, the person who sold the carvings of the hundred immortals in the first place.

He remembered that the young man's surname was Chang, the same as the boy who auctioned off the cold iron ore. settled in the Star Realm, and he doesn't have an identity card yet, it's all approved by himself.

Jiang Xingchen's reason for looking for him is very simple. It's a carved vessel. Perfumes are produced, preferably in glass bottles. But now Xingchenling can try to make exquisite glass bottles, but it is simply impossible.

Therefore. Jiang Xingchen thought of this person. It is rumored that the son of the master carver stole the hundred immortals, so this person is likely to be the descendant of the master carver, and he may be able to carve jade. As for what was stolen from the palace treasury, Jiang Xingchen didn't believe it, can anyone steal the palace treasury, even the current old man may not be able to do it.

What the specific reason, Jiang Xingchen didn't want to know, and he didn't have the heart to explore the wild history. All he wanted was for this young man to be able to work for himself. Carved jade bottle. He didn't know if the jade bottle of perfume would work, but at least it looked high-end and high-grade. That's enough.

Chang Xiangtian has lived in Xingchen Territory for more than half a year, and he feels that he has never been so comfortable in this half a year in his life. No longer have to hide in Tibet, no longer have to make noise, no longer have to be afraid. Although Xingchenling's consumption is higher, he has 3.6 million from the auction in his hand.

The surrounding residents are also very friendly, knowing that he is alone, and some families will bring him a portion after cooking.

Especially the big flood two days ago, if he was outside, he would be miserable, prices skyrocketed, and there was no place to live.

But in Xingchen Ling, every qiē is no different from usual, no matter how big the rain falls, it is okay in Xinzhen, and even the water on the ground is not much, and the water is gone in the sunny day.

Now he enjoys this life immensely, talking to his neighbors and quietly carving jade pieces.

On the twentieth day of May, the sun was already very sufficient, and when Chang Xiangtian had lunch and sat quietly carving under the big tree in the yard, there was a gentle knock at the courtyard door.

"Grandma Yun has brought me food again!" Chang Xiangtian laughed, it felt so good to be cared for.

Putting down the work in his hand, Chang Xiangtian strode to the door, and said while opening the courtyard door: "Grandma Yun, I've finished eating, you don't need to ...... Ugh!"

The courtyard door opened, but Chang Xiangtian was stunned, not only was Grandma Yun in front of her, but there was also a tall figure next to her, and it was a young man with clear eyebrows.

There is no one in the residents of Xingchen Collar who does not know this young man, Chang Xiangtian has lived for more than half a year, how can he not know Jiang Xingchen's truth.

"Lord Jiang!" often saluted Tian Bi respectfully. But he underestimated it in his heart, what did the lord come to him to do when he had nothing to do.

"Well, you're welcome, I'm here to discuss something with you!" Jiang Xingchen said, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the unfinished jade carving.

"Oh, sir, please go inside!" Although Chang Xiangtian was still muttering, he was not rude, and hurriedly let the two of them in.

"Xiao Chang, ......" sat down in the room, and Grandma Yun spoke first: "You must be very confused, what is the lord looking for you for? You don't have to think about it, the lord just wants to open a jade bottle workshop and let you manage it!"

"Ah!" Chang Xiangtian was stunned, he really didn't expect Jiang Xingchen to come to him for this.

"It is said that you are in charge, but in fact, there is no other craftsman, only you, that is, you are not only the management of the workshop, but also the master of the handicraft...... However, this is only temporary, I will recruit you in the future!" Jiang Xingchen explained with a smile.

"What's that...... Lord Jiang, but my current level, I'm afraid it's ......" Chang Xiangtian came back to his senses and waved his hand. Although carving is an ancestral craft, he is not proficient, and he used to be worried all day long, how can he have time to practice this.

"You don't have to be modest, how can the ancestral craftsmanship not work! And I'm just a jade bottle workshop, I only need to carve all kinds of jade bottles. Jiang Xingchen said.

"Jade bottle!" Chang Xiangtian only noticed this word now!

"Yes, the jade bottle, to put it bluntly, it is for things, and the carving does not need to be too complicated...... If you agree, I'll give you a salary of three hundred citrine coins every month, what do you think?" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile, he was very confident in inviting Chang Xiangtian, after all, it was an ancestral craft, and he could have the opportunity to practice for free, so of course he wouldn't miss it. Moreover, Chang Xiangtian's 3.6 million yuan in his hand looks like a lot, but the prices of Xingchenling are generally high, and he definitely doesn't want to sit on the mountain.

After a little hesitation, Chang Xiangtian nodded and agreed: "Okay! I promise the lord, thank you for giving me this opportunity, if I don't do well in the future, you can remove me at any time!"

"Hahahaha...... Jiang Xingchen stood up and patted Chang Xiangtian's shoulder gently: "You go and choose a place in a while, see what tools you need, and tell me directly, I'll let the blacksmith make it for you!"

"So fast!" Chang Xiangtian was stunned again and asked, "Sir, that one needs a lot of jade materials!"

"I know this, I have already sent someone to Qingshanling and Hongyuan City to buy it, it should not take long to come back, and then we can start work!"

After Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, he said goodbye and left with Grandma Yun.

After Jiang Xingchen and Grandma Yun walked for a while, Chang Xiangtian suddenly waved his arm vigorously, and the whole person jumped up excitedly.

During this period of time, his life was stable, and he already had the idea of passing on the craft of jade carving. But whether it is getting married and having children, or buying jade to practice carving, it costs money, and 3.6 million yuan looks like a lot, and it is not good to sit and eat all the time...... This time Jiang Xingchen's jade bottle workshop was an excellent opportunity for him!

In the next few days, two batches of jade were delivered, and Chang Xiangtian had already prepared them, and the workshop was put into use immediately.

Chang Xiangtian's side was a qiēshun lì, but the research institute Xian Ning was a little troublesome, according to the drawings given by Jiang Xingchen, Xian Ning easily made a set of equipment.

But when she distilled the petals according to the method Jiang Xingchen said, the essential oil she got was not good, not to mention impurities, and the fragrance was not good.

Jiang Xingchen rushed to the research institute, studied it carefully for a long time, and also saw that it was a reason, could it not be evaporated with water. Do the plants here, like lavender, need to be steam-distilled......

With this idea, Jiang Xingchen began to transform the equipment. In the transformation, he found that if there is no temperature control pressure array, it is really difficult to use the steam method of distillation. The pressure inside the still, the temperature and temperature, have a great impact on the essential oil produced.

When Xian Ning separated the essential oil from the water, Jiang Xingchen let out a long breath. At that time, when he patted his chest with the owner of the flower family, he didn't expect such a show, if it weren't for the temperature control pressure array, he would really be sitting on wax.

"I'll leave the rest to you, and when you're proficient, you pay attention to the time when the flowers and plants are picked, and the length of time they are transported, all of which will have an impact on the final essential oil!" Jiang Xingchen said.

"Okay, I understand!" Xian Ning nodded, with some frustration on his face, every time the research and development process is processed, Jiang Xingchen needs to take action to solve it.

Jiang Xingchen didn't think too much about it, and immediately went to the distilled liquor workshop and began to make zuò distilled liquor. This time, he had to distill it repeatedly, and the perfume was ethanol, at least 90 percent or more, and there would be impurities when using alcohol.

After distilling about twenty catties of alcohol, Jiang Xingchen ordered all of them to be sent to the research institute for Xian Ning to mix and study.

After doing this, Jiang Xingchen himself had nothing to do. After returning to Xinzhen, he went to Bauhinia Entertainment and looked at Zhang Di's progress.

After nearly a month of study, Zhang Di has made rapid progress, and some slightly complex pieces can be completed.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Xingchen found Wanrou and discussed with her when to start the tour......

The next morning, Jiang Xingchen was discussing the repertoire with Wanrou and designing the stage. Xianning sent someone to find him, and the perfume had already been made. (To be continued......)
