Chapter 355: Distillation of Perfume Essential Oils



Under the temptation of money, the craftsmen agreed without hesitation and happily agreed.

Chu Yuening's face turned bitter, and she almost couldn't maintain the dignified and majestic image of the queen.

That’s a hundred gold coins!

A dozen people would cost thousands of gold.

She felt that the speed at which she was making money could not keep up with the speed at which someone was spending it.

After the craftsmen received the order and left, Ying Zheng turned around and found that his wife looked melancholy.

After a little thought, I guessed the reason.

He suddenly burst into laughter, picked up the little money-loving girl, kissed her pouting pink lips, and comforted her in a gentle voice.

"Doesn't Yue Ning always say 'You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child'?"

"But ten gold coins are obviously enough."

Chu Yuening retorted unconvincedly, and poked the man's strong chest muscles in anger.

Ying Zheng grabbed the rebellious green fingers on his chest and explained patiently.

"Ten gold pieces are naturally not as effective as a hundred gold pieces."

"What's more, for them, the porcelain craftsmanship of later generations is complicated and difficult, and requires a lot of effort to master."

“Only when there is a great reward can a brave man emerge.”

Of course there is another reason. As an emperor of the royal family, he cannot be so stingy, otherwise he will lose his dignity.

Chu Yuening was intoxicated by the mellow and gentle male voice, so how could she feel angry?

She rubbed the man's chest and no longer had a cat-like face.

"Too......"

"Forget it, at worst I can just rip off those rich people."

The woman's fighting spirit was rekindled, and her clear eyes seemed to be filled with stars, flashing with a light that was eager to try.

It seemed as if some people’s piggy banks would be emptied out at the next moment.

(Noble families: Don’t come over here!!!)

Ying Zheng looked at his wife quietly, as if he saw a cunning little fox, smart and cute.

He raised his lips and smiled, silently accompanying her, his phoenix eyes unconsciously revealing tender affection.

The moon flows in the long ditch, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The snow fluttered down like catkins, covering the earth with a blanket of silver. The magnificent palace was also covered with a layer of white gauze, quiet and beautiful.

Qinian Palace, in the side hall.

The rich fragrance of roses fills the hall, and one whiff of it makes you feel like you are in a spring garden full of roses.

On the wide stone platform, there was a strange glass vessel.

The largest glass jar contains pink petals on the top layer and clear water on the bottom layer, with a flame heating it at the bottom.

Accompanied by the sound of "gurgling", the water vapor flows along the curved pipe, is condensed by cold water, and flows into the smallest glass jar.

Perfume essential oil distillation and refining equipment

“Tick, tick…”

The light yellow oily liquid drips into the glass bottle, exuding a rich and unique floral fragrance.

At the other end, clear dewdrops dripped, with a light and fresh fragrance.

The palace maids standing by watched this magical scene, their stunned faces filled with shock.

Then, they secretly looked at the calm woman and couldn't help but cast admiring glances at her.

The Queen is even more powerful than a witch doctor!

Chu Yuening received everyone's gaze and smiled reservedly.

For a handmade blogger, refining perfume essential oils is a piece of cake.

She uses the most commonly used method of essential oil extraction - distillation, which can be used to extract 95% of essential oils.

The principle is very simple. When aromatic plants are placed in boiling water, the essential oils containing fragrance will escape with the water vapor and then condense into water. The essential oils will float on the water surface and can be separated from the water.

After a long time, the ticking sound stopped.

Chu Yuening picked up the glass, sniffed it carefully, and found nothing unusual, so she asked the palace servants to continue putting in the raw materials.

After collecting enough rose essential oils, she began to mix perfumes.

Essential oils are soluble in alcohol but not in water, so they need to be mixed with high-concentration alcohol, and she has prepared all of these.

In the quiet hall, only the sound of ticking could be heard.

The palace maids held their breath and watched the Empress's familiar and complicated preparation steps.

I don’t know how long it took.

Chu Yuening looked at the transparent liquid in the glass bottle, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of joy appearing on her calm face.

Immediately, she sprayed the perfume on the veins of her wrists, touched her wrists with her fingers, and then gently touched the back of her ears and neck.

After a while, the elegant and fresh fragrance of roses lingered around.

She closed her eyes, sniffed carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

However, she did not forget to ask others how they felt.

"What do you think of this fragrance?"

Hearing the queen's question, the palace maids couldn't wait to praise her.

"It smells great, just like the scent of a rose!"

"Your Majesty is amazing! You can even extract the fragrance of flowers."

"Those ladies will definitely rush to buy such a good thing."

Seeing everyone's unanimous affirmation, Chu Yuening's smile deepened.

She glanced at the excited faces, speaking in a steady tone that made people listen quietly.

"Have you all learned it?"

“I’ve learned it!”

The palace maids replied in unison.

Wouldn’t you be a fool if you can’t learn such simple and easy steps?

Chu Yuening's voice was still gentle, and her bright eyes were full of trust, as if she was entrusting someone with something extremely important.

"Then I'll leave it to you guys."

"Work hard, and I'll give you commission once the products are sold."

With the Empress's instructions, everyone was already full of energy.

When he learned that there was a commission, his eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to start working.

After all, nothing is more inspiring than money.
