For several days, Dong Nuan was busy making rose water.
Rose water is different from ordinary spices, because it needs to create a sense of layering, and the fragrance of the top, middle and bottom notes all need to be highlighted.
Spices can be just a fragrance that lasts to the end, but rose water cannot be like this.
Otherwise, it is just the difference between liquid spices and solid spices.
To warm up in winter, you need to slowly adjust the ratio and layering of spices, the order of addition, etc.
During the process, it also needs to be kept standing and precipitated to achieve the purpose of extracting a slightly pure liquid.
The whole process requires rigor, but the operation is quite boring.
However, Dong Nuan is very devoted.
However, this does not affect Dong Nuan's ability to make other things while the rose water is letting it stand.
Six days later, the first bottle of rose water was successfully produced.
Dong Nuan tried to pick a little bit, applied it on the inside of the wrist, the side of the ear and the hem of the skirt, and conducted an experiment on the first day of use.
The fragrance doesn't last very long, about two hours. If it lasts longer, you won't be able to smell it at all. Unless you're inspired by the smell, there will only be a faint aftertaste, which seems to be non-existent.
The fragrance lasting time of two hours is actually very good. Even in modern times, many perfumes claim to have a long lasting fragrance, but in fact they do not reach six hours.
When the weather is cold and windy, the remaining fragrance may have been squeezed out in about four hours.
Dong Nuan is very satisfied with the fact that he succeeded in trying it for the first time.
"Not bad." After a day of experimenting, Dong Nuan nodded with satisfaction, and then he carved a beautiful box for Rose Water.
The bottle containing rose water was specially carved by Dong Nuan. There are several flowers carved on the outside. It looks a bit like a small medicine bottle with a capacity of about 30ml.
Bottle stopper Dongnuan uses a wooden stopper, which is also wrapped with a layer of fine gauze to ensure better sealing.
In fact, if you use a glass bottle, the effect will be better and the sealing will be stronger.
However, this is not the case now.
That thing is very troublesome to make. Although Dongnuan has a ready-made ratio, this thing is so amazing that it is really difficult to make it...
We don’t know yet whether Magistrate Gou can be saved, so we are holding off for the time being.
"Girl, Miss Gou sent someone to send a message, saying that the lard soap will be on the shelves at Pinxiang Pavilion tomorrow, and asked if you can go." As soon as Dong Nuan put away the rose water, Dianthus walked in quickly.
In the past two days, Dianthus had been very busy with Dong Nuan, and she smelled all kinds of spices every day, and her nose was almost useless.
When I speak now, I still have a nasal sound.
"Go." Hearing that lard soap was going to be put on the shelves, Dong Nuan was naturally interested.
The sales of lard soap have nothing to do with Dongnuan, but it definitely has something to do with the clan leader.
Because the clan leader could not achieve mass production, the current lard soap factory was found by the county magistrate, and the organization's personnel and workers were all arranged by the county magistrate.
Of course, in order to thank the Dong family for their contributions, the proportion of workers from Dongjia Village is somewhat larger, but it is only a little more in comparison.
For example, if you recruit five people, the Dong family may have two of them.
In addition, after lard soap is put on the shelves of Pinxiang Pavilion, 10% of the monthly sales of lard soap in the first three years will be distributed to the Dong family as a thank you fee.
If the lard soap sells well, the Dong family can actually get a lot of money.
Dong Nuan had heard from Dong Zhi before that the clan leader had already thought about what to do with the money he received.
Buy cattle and farm tools.
Now I just have enough money.
The fact that the boss behind Pinxiang Pavilion is the county magistrate is not a secret in the county.
Therefore, it is expected that many people will come to support it tomorrow.
Of course you have to go and see the excitement in the warm winter.
"What kind of clothes will the girl wear tomorrow?" After hearing that Dong Nuan said she wanted to go, Shi Zhu hurriedly asked.
Nowadays, there are a lot of clothes made of good materials to keep warm in winter, and they are naturally used for going out and socializing.
There must be a few clothes to support the scene, and Dianthus didn't know which one to choose for winter warmth.
When Dong Nuan was in Zhuangzi, she wasn't very particular and could just throw on something casually, but she couldn't be so casual when going out.
If others know what your character is, they will tell you something and act accordingly.
If you don't know, just assume that you don't understand etiquette and are messing around on important occasions.
Shi Zhu is now slowly learning how to be a qualified maid for a noble lady.
"The one in ultramarine." Dong Nuan thought for a while and pointed her fingers.
After hearing this, Shi Zhu went down to prepare.
Clothes need to be prepared, as well as corresponding jewelry.
Dong Nuan is young now, so she doesn't need particularly expensive jewelry to accentuate her look, but she still needs the necessary dressing up.
Beads and earrings are still necessary, and it is best to pair them with a good-looking bracelet to highlight your status.
As Dianthus walked, he was calculating in his mind.
Dong Nuan also has a lot of jewelry and the like, most of which were return gifts from Gou Qingyun's friends in the capital. Gou Qingyun gave some to Dong Nuan.
Because the quality was very good and Dong Nuan had enough money on hand, he didn't sell it or pawn it.
After dinner in the evening, Dong Nuan started wood carving again.
She specially ran to the warehouse and picked a piece of wood. Before the formal carving, Dong Nuan meditated on the wood for a long time.
Shi Zhu was already ready to strike, but after waiting for a long time with no results, she still felt a little uneasy: "Girl, isn't it easy to carve?"
Dong Nuan is so skilled that he usually doesn’t need to draw pictures when carving. In Dianthu’s view, this is the craft of a top master.
If Dong Nuan hesitates, then most likely this thing may not be easy to carve.
In fact, it's really hard to carve.
Because of the warm winter, I want to carve a waterwheel. This thing is not available in Dayue, but in fact, in summer, the demand in the fields is quite large.
There is no waterwheel, so we have to do it manually.
When carving other things in winter, you just need to rely on spatial imagination. Sometimes, in order to make the proportions look good, you actually need to transcend reality and do not need to consider issues such as practicality.
After all, art is as long as it looks good.
However, if you want to hint something to others through this artwork.
Then you have to prepare a realistic ratio, so that you can have more bargaining chips in later negotiations.
If you can't tell the proportion later, you won't get much out of the discussion, and your credit will be greatly reduced.
Just like lard soap, being able to crack it and develop new products at the same time is all the work of other craftsmen. Dongnuan's credit ratio is very small.
Therefore, the final benefit has nothing to do with her.
However, she had something to ask for at that time, so she did that.
Today, she still has something to ask for, but she wants to use the waterwheel to ask for something useful. In other words, her request is a bit big.
Then the credit-to-contribution ratio must be larger.
Dong Nuan has limited knowledge of farm tools, so it is obviously not possible to start carving directly.
After thinking for a long time while holding the piece of wood, I finally gave up on my wild imagination and decided to take it one step at a time and draw honestly.
