That night, Qin Mu sent the spices from the Qi Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It smells so good!" Pothos grabbed a handful of spices and sniffed them on the tip of her nose, squinting her eyes to enjoy the aftertaste.

Aster said: "Your Highness, here are agarwood, balsam, dried jasmine, dried tulips, and dipterocarp, the slave maid also knows some about this spice in the palace, and it is indeed a high-quality spice." ”

"Well, that's fine, something can't go wrong with what was given to the queen." Xiao Ming said.

Luluo asked: "Your Royal Highness also wants to give these spices to the queen mother, but the queen mother treasures a lot of spices, although these spices are good, but they may not make the queen mother look at them." ”

Aster glanced at the pothos, "Stupid, Your Highness asked you to buy wine and spices, so you definitely won't just give these ordinary spices." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, "Of course, in two days, the Instrument Division will send the things, and this king will personally let you take a look." ”

Three days later, Chen Qi sent the retort that Xiao Ming wanted, which was actually three connected clay pots.

At this time, Xiao Ming was not idle, but summoned the servants in the house to tell them the specific steps of distilling alcohol and purifying essence.

As soon as the distiller arrived, the servants of the palace immediately set up the distiller and used a briquette stove to heat it underneath to purify the alcohol and flavor.

Because of this matter, the people of the entire palace were busy, except for Qian Dafu who took people to mine graphite mines, pothos and aster also came to help.

In the past few days, pothos and aster have not escaped Xiao Ming's knowledge, and when the alcohol and essence flowed out of the still, the two of them took a fine porcelain bottle and put the two together, and began to mix and shake evenly.

In Xiao Ming's head, there are no less than tens of thousands of various types of perfume manufacturing methods.

In general, the perfume composition consists of fragrances, fixatives and alcohol.

Essence is naturally an essential oil purified from various plants, and fixative refers to things like balm, that is, things that contain more oil, similar to things in facial cleanser, and can also be used as foundation.

Xiao Ming is clear about the ratio of these three things, because the manufacture of the first perfume does not need to be tested at all, and it is very smooth.

The final job was to mix the three things together and stir them together.

Two sets of stills, one for distilling rice wine and one for distilling flavors, operate at the same time, and the rest of the people are shaking the porcelain bottles.

Xiao Ming also took a porcelain bottle and shook it, the weather is too cold, it is better to exercise if you stand still and do not move.

"Your Highness, how long is this going to be shaken?" Half an hour passed, and the pothos was panting, spitting white mist, and her little face was flushed.

Xiao Ming said: "You open the cork and smell it, if the smell becomes uniform, it will be almost the same." ”

The pothos nodded her little head, pulled out the cork and smelled it, and was stunned, "Your Highness, this smells so good!" ”

Aster also leaned over and sniffed it, revealing a look of surprise, "This spice is certainly very fragrant, but this taste is different, but Your Highness, how to use this thing?" ”

In the country of Chongqing, spices are basically made into fragrant cakes, and the usage is basically divided into two types: dressing and smoking, his perfume can be described as unique, he said: "It's very simple, just take out a little and sprinkle it on your body." ”

As a woman, she was not interested in spices, so she poured a little perfume and smeared it on her face, and suddenly the fragrance wafted out, which was the fragrance of jasmine.

The comfortable smell made Aster envious for a while, and she poured a little and wiped it on her body.

"Well, it's much more comfortable than fragrant cakes, and the fragrance can last for a day." Xiao Ming said.

The pothos only giggled happily, sniffing herself and aster from time to time, like a child who had not grown up.

Aster smiled, this kind of thing called "perfume" by King Qi is indeed extraordinary, this fragrant cake will eventually be applied to the body, and it is easy to fall off, far less practical than perfume.

"Your Highness, if this perfume is given to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will be happy." Aster said.

Xiao Ming was relieved now, the pothos and aster were both from the palace, so they naturally had the right to speak, "In this case, this king can rest assured, there are no less than a hundred bottles of perfume made this time, and the perfume in the hands of the two of you will be given to you." ”

"Your Highness!" The green pothos smiled and saluted Xiao Ming, holding the porcelain vase in his arms like an aster baby, for fear that Xiao Ming would regret it.

This time, compared to the spices, the amount of rice wine is too much, and after the flavor is used up, there is still a lot of rice wine left.

In line with the idea that it is shameful to waste and difficult to swallow after drinking, Xiao Ming turned this inferior rice wine into modern liquor.

"Li San."

Xiao Ming still doesn't know much about the servants in the mansion, and the only thing that impresses him is this Li San.

Because this Li San is able to speak well, and his work efficiency is also good, and Aster has a good evaluation of him.

Qian Dafu is very busy now, and Xiao Ming can't always mix with pothos aster, after all, some occasions are still not suitable for girls to follow.

"Your Highness, the little slave is here." Li San trotted in front of Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, what do you command?" ”

Looking at Li San, who looked the same as Sandezi, Xiao Ming said: "Go and prepare a few wine jars and distill the remaining rice wine." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Li San immediately instructed the other family members to go to the warehouse of the palace to get the wine jar, and continue to distill rice wine here.

When the perfume was made, the rice wine was distilled repeatedly to obtain a high concentration of alcohol.

This time it was different, it was directly distilled at one time, and the original green rice wine turned into pure rice wine in a blink of an eye.

This time, the rice wine is mixed with the sweetness of the rice wine, but the alcohol content has been greatly improved.

The ancients were not drunk with a thousand cups, which was originally a low-degree rice wine, but when he met the rice wine he distilled, it would not be a thousand cups without getting drunk at that time.

Throughout the day, the entire palace was busy distilling rice wine and perfume, and in the evening all these raw materials were used up.

"Li San, let people put away this still, don't let others see it, and don't say what it's for." Xiao Ming said that his own technology should be kept secret.

Li San patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I won't say anything about killing me." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, "Well, that's good, but there is still something to be handed over to you, these perfume kings need you to send to the mother concubine of the king of Chang'an City."

"Chang'an? Your Highness, Chang'an is thousands of miles away from here, and if the little slave goes alone, if he encounters a bandit halfway......" Li San worried.

"You don't have to worry about this, this time the king asked you to go to Chang'an with the Qin family's ship." Xiao Ming pondered.

Two days ago, he beat the Qin family with a stick, and he should also give a candied date to eat, and the big stick carrot has to be replaced.
