Chapter 488 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (11)
Before Xu Yin returned home, she first visited Xujia Village and selected an open space to build a workshop.
"Girl, what exactly is the fragrance you are talking about?" The village chief looked puzzled.
"To put it simply, it's the aroma."
"Smell? Can this thing be produced in a workshop?" The village chief felt that he was even more confused, and it was as if he had not asked anything.
Xu Yin gave it a try: "I will instruct everyone on how to do it when the time comes. You will definitely understand after reading it."
The village chief nodded, understanding that this fragrant thing, like wine and sauce, has a secret recipe.
If everyone knew how to do it, would there be any need to open a workshop? No one would buy it.
"Then I'll find someone to build the workshop first," the village chief said.
Xu Yin nodded and asked Xu Kui to go to Liulifang to customize a set of aromatherapy refining tools.
The glazed products of this dynasty were very mature.
It is said that the earliest Liulifang was opened by missionaries from overseas.
Nowadays, not only are there glass shops in the capital, where dignitaries can customize glass ornaments, but they are also found in prefectural cities with relatively developed commerce.
There is one here in Los Angeles.
Xu Yin spent 2,000 energy points and exchanged an equipment drawing of the distillation tool with the system. After transcribing it with charcoal, Xu Kui took it to Liulicang to customize it.
She plans to use the oldest distillation method to extract plant essential oils, and then use the essential oils to make perfume.
I spent another 2,000 energy points to create a set of 200 aromatherapy essential oil and perfume combination formulas.
According to the formula, the flowers react differently when exposed to water, and the distillation methods used are also different.
Simply customized three distillation tools, which are used for water distillation, water distillation, and water vapor distillation.
Fragrance raw materials that are easy to stick to each other, such as roses and sandalwood powder, are more suitable for extraction by water distillation;
Fragrance raw materials that are easily hydrolyzed, such as lavender and jasmine, are more suitable for water distillation or steam distillation.
It's just that glass is very expensive. For three sets, the asking price is not low. The key is that the transparency is not high.
Xu Yin was wondering whether she should donate the glass formula like she did in the days of peasant girls?
However, after careful consideration, I decided to take it slow.
According to the original text, after Sun Zhiqian won three yuan in a row, the emperor of the current dynasty appointed him as his consort through an imperial edict and insisted on marrying the princess to him, without asking whether he was married in his hometown or if he had a lover. It can be seen that he was a willful person.
From then on, it was Sun Zhiqian, the consort, who fought with the courtiers in a high-profile battle of wits and courage, while the emperor hid behind to collect the power and enjoy the fruits. When he really encountered a thorn, Sun Zhiqian was pushed out to take the blame. Fortunately, Sun Zhiqian has the aura of a male protagonist, and every time
Every time he was able to turn a bad situation into a good one, it turned out that the emperor had no sense of responsibility.
A headstrong and irresponsible person does not look like a wise king. Xu Yin decisively took the glass formula back to the system warehouse.
Anyway, it’s not that glassware cannot be distilled and refined, so just be more expensive. The Xu family is not short of money.
After arranging these two things, Xu Yin set off back to Luo City.
I was very lucky. When I arrived at the door of the house, I didn't even get out of the carriage. I just raised the curtain and took a look, not wanting to bump into my grandma.
When grandma saw it was her, her eyes lit up and she cried with joy: "Yin Yin! My aunt has been waiting for you!"
Xu Yin: "..."
Suddenly I want to go back to Chashan to observe mourning.
"Yinyin, you don't know, my aunt has been here several times, and she didn't even open the door to the things in your house that I can't even see. The last time I came here, my aunt even spent the whole night looking for inns...
"
Xu Yin: Although she didn’t know why the concierge didn’t open the door, she wanted to say – well done!
"Another time, when I came here with your cousin, the servants in your house actually left us outside and dismissed us with a few casual words."
Xu Yin: I turned around and praised the gatekeepers.
"Yin Yin, didn't my aunt say that these people in your house should be replaced? You can't let them do whatever they want anymore! Otherwise, there is no guarantee that even you, the master, will dare to hang out outside the door in the future..."
"No." Xu Yin said lazily, "They didn't open the door because of my order."
"..." Grandmother choked, "Why?"
"I'm not in the house, so I didn't have the host to greet me when I opened the door. How rude."
Grandmother cursed in her heart: Is it polite to leave people outside the door?
With a smile on his face, he stepped forward, snatched Zi Yuan and Hong Qian's work, and diligently helped Xu Yin get off the carriage:
"According to me, you don't have any elders in the house now, and you are still a little girl. It's really hard to get involved in many things. How about my aunt being aggrieved and coming to live with you? If anything happens in the house from now on, just leave it to my aunt.
Just deal with it, just keep your peace of mind and observe filial piety."
This was a new method she figured out on the way here.
Since my niece doesn't want to go to Fengcheng, let her come to Luocheng instead.
A house as big as Xu Mansion has a lot of good things.
I heard that in wealthy families, even a tea cup to drink water costs a few taels of silver.
There are also dining bowls, all of which are porcelain bowls as white as jade.
It's nothing like her house, which is filled with earthy and vulgar pottery bowls.
If she finds an opportunity to hide one or two and sell them, won't her son be able to pay for the exam?
Xu Yin glanced at her grandma with a half-smile but not a smile: "Yin Yin accepts my aunt's feelings. But unlike Yin Yin, my aunt is alone. My aunt also has an uncle. My cousin has to take care of me, so I don't want to wrong my aunt."
"No grievance! No grievance!" Grandmother expressed her position hurriedly, "Why is it a grievance to come to accompany my niece?"
"But I'm just going back to my hometown to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival. After that, I have to go back to the cemetery to pay my respects. Or do you think my aunt would like to go to the cemetery with me?"
"No, no, no..." How could grandma be willing to go to the Xu family cemetery? "I mean, I will stay at the house to handle those trivial matters for Yinyin."
"Well, don't bother aunt, there is a housekeeper! When my parents were still alive, the housekeeper took care of things that were inconvenient for him to do."
Grandmother: "..." After talking for a long time, she said she was lonely.
After all, Xu Yin did not turn away her grandma from the door in front of a group of melon-eating people on the street. She asked the housekeeper to arrange for the guest house to receive her grandma.
Sun's mother was overjoyed: It would be great if she could enter the Xu Mansion.
But she soon regretted it.
It is said to be a guest house, but apart from a bed for resting and tables and chairs for eating, there is nothing else.
Isn’t it said that precious porcelain ornaments can be found everywhere in rich families? Why doesn’t the Xu family have any?
"Come on! I'm thirsty!"
The maid brought in a pot of tea.
The teapot and teacups are just like hers, they are all made of pottery.
What about the exquisite white porcelain cup?
"Come on! I'm hungry!"
The maid brought dinner.
The dishes were brought to the table. Three dishes and one soup were all vegetarian. Don't ask, because if you ask, the girl has observed her filial piety and has been a vegetarian for three years.
Let’s look at the bowls for serving meals. They are also made of pottery like the teacups.
What about the porcelain bowl as white as jade?
Grandmother: "..."
What on earth is she here for?
Suddenly I couldn't sit still and went out to find my niece. I planned to get straight to the point and ask my niece to borrow some silver.
When I went out, I discovered that the door to the living room was locked and I couldn't get out.
