Chapter 284 Start making rose water

PreviousBack to directoryNext
After hearing what his brother said, Shizhu rolled his eyes obscenely and cursed with a smile: "Thank you more, girl. She was afraid that you would not have a good meal in the academy, so she specially asked me to prepare it."

After hearing this, Shi Er felt moved again.

When Dong Nuan was drinking Xiaoshi tea, Shi Er actually touched her quietly and thanked Dong Nuan specifically.

After thanking him, he quietly retreated.

Hanjiang Tower was talking to Dong Nuan. Shi Er was very discerning and didn't dare to disturb him.

Looking at Shi Er's figure, Han Jianglou smiled helplessly: "He is still a child."

When Dong Nuan heard this, she also laughed: "It sounds like you are much older than others."

Hanjianglou only reached his crown after the new year, and he was not much older than Shi'er.

Listening to Dong Nuan's teasing, Hanjianglou looked a little dazed.

Yes, he was still young in this life. In his previous life, he lived for more than thirty years and finally died on the battlefield.

But there is no need to tell Dong Nuan these words, so as not to worry the little girl, thinking that he is haunted by ghosts and talking nonsense.

Putting these things behind, Hanjianglou shook his head and said softly: "Nuanya, there are some banknotes here, please keep them."

While talking, he pushed over two fifty-tael silver notes.

Dong Nuan is a little surprised.

Is this rich again?

In fact, the origin of these large amounts of funds in Hanjiang Tower is really a mystery.

In this regard, Hanjianglou's explanation was that he had solved some minor troubles for the noble master, and the other party rewarded him casually.

Dong Nuan actually doesn’t quite understand, “What kind of business is this?”

I guess it’s not too small, right?

It started with just a hundred taels, and it didn’t seem like a small matter.

But Dong Nuan didn't ask any more questions. After putting away the banknote, he asked in a soft voice, as if he was coquettish: "Are the books enough? Do you have any money left on you?"

Although the county school does not charge fees, you need to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones by yourself, especially pens, inks and paper, which are consumed very quickly, and these expenses are not small.

This is why most people cannot afford to study because it costs so much.

In fact, Shuxiu is not a big expense, and most people can afford it, but the steady stream of expenses will come later.

The money for pens, ink, paper and inkstones and the expenses for going out for exams are not small amounts.

"Yes, I usually don't have much expenses." Hanjianglou is studying in the county, so he really doesn't have much expenses.

Dong Nuan takes things like paper and pen with him every time he goes there, so he doesn't need to worry about them at all.

It's like going back to school in the county tomorrow, Dong Nuan has already prepared a small bag, which contains all the study supplies, and a change of clothes inside, just because Hanjianglou is afraid that Hanjianglou will not have a good time in the county.

"That's good, I'll go see you when I have time." Dong Nuan felt that Hanjiang Tower was in front of her, so there was no need to insist.

After all, they are not too short of money now, so after hearing Hanjianglou's words, she nodded and spoke softly.

After the two of them drank the digestion tea, Hanjianglou went back to his room to study. Even though he was not willing to stay warm in the winter, he knew what was the most important thing for him right now.

No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to go back to study.

He had read some books in his previous life, which gave him a basic foundation, but that was all. In the future, he still needed to work hard and make progress on his own.

If he gets tired, he might even be left behind. He will be able to take the college examination the year after next. If he is not good enough by then, won't he have to waste another three years?

Hanjianglou went back to his room to study, and Dongnuan continued to work on his rose water progress.

After going through the steps in my mind, I started preparing the materials.

Tools and the like were already prepared and used.

When Dong Nuan has nothing to do, she will make some soap to use. She adds spices and flowers, and adjusts the formula ratio of oil. The soap made is easier to use than ordinary lard soap, and has a smooth texture.

Some, and taste better.

Dong Nuan was busy until late at night, and finally went to Hanjiang Tower to go to bed, but found that the light was on in Dong Nuan's room, and knocked on the door to remind Dong Nuan, and then Dong Nuan went back to bed to sleep.

Dianthus couldn't stand it any longer in the cubicle and fell asleep. Dongnuan didn't call her.

I had a good night's sleep and the weather was nice the next day.

As we enter May, the weather will gradually warm up, everything will start to grow, and everything will be full of vitality.

Dong Nuan got up early in the morning, did some simple activities, and then boxed for a while with Hanjiang Tower.

The two of them were boxing in tandem. When Hanjianglou was boxing, he was mumbling about the knowledge in the book, while Dongnuan was thinking about what he had to do today.

After a set of punches, the two of them went to have breakfast.

After dinner, Hanjianglou had to take Shi Er back to the county to study.

Shi Zhu was worried, and Dong Nuan had told her about it, so she brought a lot of things to Shi Er.

Food, tools and clothing such as Hanjianglou's pens and ink, took up one package, and a small basket was filled with all kinds of food prepared.

Fortunately, they have carriages, but the carriages are not usually kept at the county school. The county school also provides paid horse-raising services.

However, Hanjianglou felt that it was not necessary, so except for raising him at the county school for a period of time at first, after Dong Nuan got a new clerk, he always asked Dong Nuan to take the carriage back to the village.

When he needs to come back, just send the carriage to the county school in advance.

If it's not busy here in Dongnuan, you can drive a carriage to pick people up that day.

"We won't see anyone for more than ten days." Watching the carriage go further and further away, Dong Nuan pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy.

Shi Zhu was busy advising: "Time will pass soon, girl, don't worry."

The sadness of warm winter only lasts for a while.

She was busy with rose water today, so she had no time to think about anything else.

After sending Hanjiang Tower away, she got busy.

To make rose water, you need to use medical alcohol, preferably more than 95%.

In this regard, Dongnuan has already prepared for it, and the wine has been brewed long ago. Now that we are counting the days, it is almost enough.

In order to make medical alcohol, Dong Nuan dug several cellars specifically to keep the temperature stable.

Distillation tools were prepared early, and there was more than one set.

Dianthus is not familiar with this set of techniques, but she has been following Dong Nuan for a while, so she can often keep up with Dong Nuan's ideas, and she is the only confidant Dong Nuan can use now.

Therefore, the matter of providing help finally fell to her.

Dianthus concentrated as much as possible and tried to follow the rhythm of winter warmth.

The two of them have been busy all day, but for the time being they have only completed the preliminary process of rose water.

There are still many steps to follow, and the preliminary matching requires a day of silence, so even if I want to stay up all night today, I can't do anything extra.

"Okay, let's have something to eat and rest." At the end of the day, Dong Nuan felt dizzy from work and waved his hand, signaling Dianthus to rest.

Shizhu was so busy that her eyes were empty. When she heard Dong Nuan's words, she would just walk out mechanically. The first time she walked out of the door, she couldn't even tell the left and right.
