There was a hot spring in the inner courtyard of Prince Wei's palace. Li Tai, dressed in single clothes, walked slowly into the house.
After a short while, two eunuchs laboriously brought a large basin, which was not filled with hot water.
Instead, it was steaming Chinese medicinal juice. The eunuch headed by him smiled flatteringly at Li Tai.
"Your Highness, the concoction is ready and the temperature is just right. Please take a sitz bath..."
Li Tai nodded slightly and came to the big wooden basin. With the eunuchs supporting him, he slowly sat into the wooden basin where a small horse had been placed.
After sitting in, the comfortable temperature made Li Tai squint his eyes comfortably.
However, the smell of the concoction was really offensive to the nose. Li Tai waved his hand, and soon the person next to him brought a sachet.
Li Tai just held the sachet and took a deep breath to block the strong smell of Chinese medicine.
After soaking in the incense sticks for a long time, Li Qin stood up and began to bathe and change clothes.
After doing all this, Li Tai came to the front hall and listened to the sweet joy.
I was waiting for the eunuch and maid to deliver today's breakfast. In a short time, a hearty breakfast was served on the table.
There was a large bowl of stew, a large bowl of soup cakes, several plates of cakes that were full of color and flavor, a full plate of six eggs that had already been peeled, and a plate of seasonal fruits.
Li Tai picked up the bowl and started eating and drinking. In a short time, all the food on the table, including pastries and fruits, was completely wiped out by him, without even leaving any residue.
After wiping away all the food on the table, Li Tai smacked his mouth without saying anything. "That's it, let them have another plate of eggs."
When the eunuch on the side heard this, he couldn't help but look troubled, and stepped forward to persuade. "Your Highness, the empress has ordered you to use less eggs and meat..."
After hearing the eunuch's reminder, Li Tai suddenly felt a little unhappy.
"I understand, but you can't go to see people hungry, right? Okay, let them come quickly.
After breakfast, I still have to check on the progress of Kuo Di Zhi."
After hearing the order, six more eggs were delivered in a short time.
Li Tai still stuffed it all into his throat without any politeness. He patted his stomach and finally felt satisfied, then he stood up and headed towards the outside.
Soon we arrived at a courtyard outside Prince Wei's Mansion, where several well-known literati and a large number of scholars were busy.
"Kuo Di Zhi" describes all the humanities, history and geography of the states in the Tang Dynasty. The more detailed the information, the better.
For example, regarding the history of Chang'an, we have to start from the historical records, just the historical and geographical figures of Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty.
The detailed content cannot be written in tens of thousands of words. However, among the hundreds of states in the Tang Dynasty, even one state only takes one or two thousand words.
It is also a vast project with hundreds of thousands or even millions of words, and it is impossible to complete it in a short time.
King Li Tai of Wei understood very well that the more so, as long as he could achieve results, the more he could demonstrate his achievements.
As an elegant prince with excellent talents, if he wants to have enough fame and reputation, he must rely on such means to obtain it.
After arriving here, Wei King Li Tai sat in his own seat and began to carry out nominal coordination and supervision.
While admiring the relevant contents that have been sorted out, I would occasionally get up and go to each room to meet the well-known Confucian scholars and scribes.
After exchanging pleasantries or asking for advice, I have to admit that although King Li Tai of Wei is very fat, he has a sweet mouth.
Therefore, a group of well-known Confucian scholars and scribes were also happy to communicate with him.
However, his physique was already sweating after just walking around for a while. He sat on the couch and it took him a long time to recover.
But at this time, he felt something strange below him again, which made Li Tai frown and move his head involuntarily.
But soon, Li Tai regained the reserve and dignity that a prince should have.
Well, it looks like I need another medicinal bath tonight.
Having said that, I don’t know what happened to my father this year. He didn’t go out to escape the summer heat. Instead, Grandpa Huang went to escape the summer heat, and his eldest brother accompanied him.
Such an unusual behavior really puzzled Li Tai. Unfortunately, his uncle did not come over these two days.
Even if he wants to find someone to discuss this matter, he has no chance, and his uncle has also told him that he must keep a low profile and act cautiously.
That's all, I can only wait for two more days, but if that doesn't work, I can just send someone to invite my uncle to come over and have a reunion.

"Uncle Ji, don't be nervous. You have already done it so many times. Take your time, don't rush."
When Cheng Chubi saw Uncle Ji who was still a little nervous in front of him, he smiled and comforted him.
What was placed in front of the two of them was the steam distillation equipment. At this moment, peppermint essential oil was slowly dripping.
Just like the sweat dripping from Uncle Ji's face. Cheng Chubi even suspected that it would be easier to collect a pound of Uncle Ji's sweat than two ounces of peppermint essential oil.
"I'm feeling a lot better now, right?" Uncle Ji raised his hand to wipe away the sweat, and Bi showed a smile that was no better than crying.
"That's natural. In fact, this work is very simple, that is, every time you need to distill different types of essential oils.
It needs to be disassembled, cleaned, and then reinstalled.”
"Usually, I just pay close attention to observation. When the essential oil tank is full, put it into the bottle and seal it tightly..."
"Yeah, don't worry, Third Young Master, I've written down all the steps, and I'm sure there won't be any mistakes." Uncle Ji nodded vigorously and replied.
Cheng Chubi moved his eyes away and fell on the equipment that continued to perform distillation and extraction.
I have no choice but to leave Chang'an in a few days, but it is midsummer now.
If we don't collect enough essential oils in time, we will just have to wait for the coming year.
As for Cheng Fa and Cheng Da, they are important assistants in my surgery. I will definitely take them with me when I go to Lishan.
Of course, Cheng Chubi did not allow his daily chemical business to suffer from a shortage of raw materials, so he decided to train this ingenious Uncle Ji to become an essential oil extraction tool maker.
After all, Uncle Ping often has to do field work. As for the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, who needs to control the overall situation, the only one who is more relaxed is Uncle Ji.
Under Cheng Chubi's step-by-step instruction, Uncle Ji quickly mastered all the techniques for extracting essential oils through steam distillation.
In this way, Cheng Chubi can leave with peace of mind. Cheng Chubi believes that he will wait until he has finished treating Li Chengqian's leg injury and returns to Chang'an.
Uncle Ji will definitely fill those empty bottles with fragrant essential oils.
