Chapter 59: Flower Water
Lao Fang was carried back to his house by Li Yi, and when he was carried away, he kept muttering "good wine" in his mouth, and Li Yi obviously noticed that when the two men smelled the wine on Lao Fang's body, their eyes lit up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, Li Yi mocked Lao Fang for a while in his heart, but it didn't take long for him to regret it.
I really shouldn't have fooled Lao Fang to drink those drinks just now, it was more than 75% of high-concentration alcohol, and if I can't sleep tomorrow morning, it is estimated that Lao Fang should not be able to wake up.
And if he can't wake up, Li Yi will have to do the rest of the work alone.
Bezoar, mint, honeysuckle, spices ......, all these things are ground into powder, and then the distilled alcohol is packed in a porcelain bottle, mixed with the ground powder, and then held the porcelain bottle and shaken it constantly to ensure that they can be fully mixed together......
Bezoar and honeysuckle have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, which can cool and remove heat, and the function of mint is mainly used to repel mosquitoes, as for those spices, of course, it is to make the taste of flower water more good......
This is a simple method for preparing toilet water that Li Yi found in the book, and the effect is certainly not as good as that of big brands such as "Liushen" or "Longliqi" in later generations, but Li Yi's requirements are not high, as long as the effect of mosquito repellent is okay.
According to the book, mix 75% alcohol with powdered bezoar, honeysuckle, mint, etc., and then shake them for half an hour, wait until they are fully mixed, and then filter out the residue, and the simple flower water is successfully prepared.
So, when the little maid came to the kitchen, what she saw was that her uncle was holding a porcelain vase in her hand, and the whole person seemed to be shaking around like a demon......
"Uncle, you, what's wrong with you......" The little maid hurriedly ran over, looking at Li Yi with a look of worry in her eyes.
If my uncle is really stunned, what should I do!
After shaking for such a long time, even the iron man couldn't bear it, and just when Li Yi felt a little dizzy and nauseous, Xiaohuan's figure appeared at the right time.
"Xiaohuan, hurry up and help me continue to shake this bottle."
With Xiaohuan's substitution, he can finally rest for a while, Li Yi looked at the little girl who was standing there stupidly shaking the porcelain bottle, and didn't know what was going on, thinking in his heart, when the large-scale preparation of flower water in the future, he had to think of a reliable way to ensure that they were fully integrated, and it was not a long-term solution to hold the bottle like this every time......
The two of them alternated into battle, and after almost half an hour, Li Yi estimated that it should be about the same.
Uncork the bottle and filter the liquid inside the bottle through a piece of clean gauze to remove the undissolved residue, and after filtration, a translucent liquid is obtained.
At the same time, a familiar scent began to permeate the room.
"Uncle, what is this, it smells so good!" The little girl's eyes widened, and she looked at Li Yi in surprise and asked.
"It seems that the spices are a bit too much, so subtract a third of the amount next time." Li Yi muttered a sentence and put the flower water that had been successfully prepared for the first time into a new porcelain vase.
The first preparation of toilet water is relatively successful, although there are inevitably some flaws, but as long as you do a few more experiments, you can always find the most suitable formula.
Li Yi couldn't wait to experiment with the efficacy of the flower water he prepared.
"Xiaohuan, hurry up and boil water, I'm going to take a shower later!"
"Got it, uncle!"
The little maid looked at a strange thing composed of several cauldrons in the kitchen with some doubts, and then looked at Li Yi's back as he left with some joy, and her heart was full of curiosity.
What is it that my uncle made up this time?

I poured some toilet water into the bath tub and took a hot bath comfortably, and I immediately felt refreshed, and my body also exuded a faint fragrance.
In order to verify the mosquito repellent effect, Li Yi stayed in the corner of the room with the most mosquitoes for a while, and the mosquitoes who were willing to make out with him were really much less than before.
"It worked!"
Seeing the mosquito repellent effect of flower water, Li Yi was happy, which shows that the method of using flower water to repel mosquitoes is feasible, and next time you can add more mosquito repellent grass similar to peppermint to it, you can get a stronger mosquito repellent water.
In the same way, if you modify the recipe and use more brains in terms of fragrances, then the end result is not perfume?
It's a win-win-win-
However, for the promotion of toilet water and perfume in this world, Li Yi did not have much confidence in his heart at this time.
I've read many time-traveling novels before, the protagonist relies on the knowledge of hundreds of thousands of years ahead of the ancients, invents all kinds of modern items in the ancient world, and is very popular with the ancients......
But Li Yi, who has had real experience, deeply understands that reality is far more skinny than ideals, and some things are very simple to think about, but when they are really realized, all kinds of difficulties will follow.
Now what he needs to do is to improve the equipment for alcohol purification as much as possible, if the efficiency of each distillation is as low as the first time, it will never work.
In addition, it is necessary to build a separate processing workshop, after all, you can't always be in your own kitchen every time.
Moreover, after the scale of production is expanded, such a small space in the kitchen is far from meeting the requirements.
Fortunately, Li Yi still needs a period of time to improve the distillation equipment and improve the recipe, and the matter of the workshop built is not so anxious.
What's more, the location of the workshop, how it will be built, and how it will operate once it is built, these are all decisions that can only be made after careful consideration.
Of course, Li Yi can't do these things by himself, so he asked Lao Fang and them to get out of the rock sugar gourd business as soon as possible, just by selling a few strings of rock sugar gourds, Lao Fang's dream of marrying a concubine and buying a village may not be realized until the next life.
Li Yi felt that he was born to work hard.
Pressing the village is good, there is food and drink every day and there are maids to serve, life is extremely comfortable, you have nothing to look for, with the old party and a few of them drag oil bottles to run to the well-off, obviously yearning for the life of a pig, but in the end it is the same as a tired dog, which is all done by yourself......
When I walked out of the room, I saw the little maid sitting in the yard, pouting and clutching the bag on her arm that had just been bitten by mosquitoes.
Hearing her uncle calling her at the door from afar, the girl hurriedly stood up, turned her head and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?" ”
"Come here......
He beckoned to the little maid, took her into the house, poured some toilet water on her hand, wiped it on her arm where she had been bitten by mosquitoes, and asked, "How do you feel, is it still itchy?" ”
"No...... No more itching......"
The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the room through the window, and the little girl rolls up her sleeves, revealing her white lotus arms, bowing her head and opening her glutinous mouth, and her pretty face is flying, and she is beautiful.
