Chapter 139 Disgusting Cosmetics
While chatting, Natalia came back with Isabella, and seeing the two sitting together, her face changed slightly.

Du Kang quickly stood up and introduced, "This is reporter Luo Feng, the daughter of director Luo. She came here today to give me an interview. This is my wife Natalia, and that is her sister Isabella."

"Hello."

The three knew each other, and Natalia sat next to him and declared her sovereignty, saying, "What are you talking about, let's talk about it."

Luo Feng saw what was going on, and knew that he had gone too far just now, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I've done almost all the interviews, and I'm about to leave."

Luo Feng picked up the pen and paper and was about to leave, Du Kang sat on the wax, don't, you leave as soon as Natalia comes, it's not clear that there is something wrong, you pat your butt and leave, nothing happened, but I am here Have to face Natalia's questioning.

He quickly said, "Don't worry, you're not curious about what I have, and why a piece of work can fetch such a high price. It just so happens that the ambergris is almost brewed, and it will be washed out soon, so stay here to witness."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement, and then the four went to check.

Du Kang chose a wooden barrel and opened it, took out the ambergris inside, put it in water to clean the impurities on it.

At this time, the ambergris no longer had the original smell, and it was not the light black poop-like item, but turned into pieces of white ambergris.

This is the finest ambergris.

The ambergris discharged into the sea is initially light black, and under the action of sea water, it gradually turns gray, light gray, and finally white.

Originally, this process took hundreds of years, but it only took Du Kang two or three months to extract the ambergris and turn it into ambergris with a peculiar fragrance.

Luo Feng took it and asked curiously, "This is ambergris, and it doesn't look like anything special."

"That's because you don't know the beauty of ambergris. It's a clear and gentle animal fragrance. When you smell it, doesn't it smell like musk, with a slight earthy fragrance, some like seaweed, wood, moss? Fragrant, with special sweetness and extremely long-lasting fragrance base rhyme, in short, it is a very complex aroma combination.

Although the momentum is not strong, it is subtle and soft, and the fragrance lasts 20 to 30 times longer than musk, which can last for several months. It is the best fixative.

It can blend various aromas well together, making the aroma very soft and long-lasting.Used together with musk and civet incense, it has the power to enhance the aroma. "

Luo Feng tried to smell it, and it was indeed very fragrant, as if all kinds of aromas were mixed together, it was very strange.

Turning around and handing the ambergris to Natalia, Natalia waved her hand and said, "You'd better keep smelling it yourself."

Although the ambergris was good, she felt a little sick when she thought of the smell when it was first caught on the boat, and the excrement mixed with the excrement from the sperm whale.

"Didn't you like it very much before, why don't you want it anymore?"

"I'll take it when you're done."

Du Kang saw what she was thinking, and teased, "What's this? Sometimes there are many things that can't be studied. Take cosmetics, what is ambergris, and it's not the most disgusting thing.

Do you know what lipstick is made of?Cochineal beetles!
This is a tiny insect found in Central and South America that feeds on cacti-like plants.Crush a beetle to make a great red dye, something found in many lipsticks.

There is also mascara, which contains something called guanine, which is obtained from bat guano.

And snail secretion is used in many famous moisturizers.It is said to help with blemishes, stretch marks and acne breakouts. "

Du Kang was talking nonsense there, some of it was true, some of it was fake, like the mascara was actually his nonsense.

Mascara does contain something called guanine, which leads a lot of people to confuse it with "shit", who makes the English spelling of guanine and dung similar.

But instead of bat droppings, it's extracted from crushed fish scales.

Well, it sounds a little disgusting too.

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it."

Before he could finish speaking, Natalia told him to shut up quickly.

The faces of the three women were all a little pale, not to mention good things, what do you say about this kind of thing, are you disgusting?

Why don't you talk about cat poop coffee? It's even more frightening to think about it carefully. They still sell it at a high price internationally.

Du Kang shrugged, ground a piece of ambergris into a very fine powder, dissolved it in alcohol, and then mixed it into the prepared solution to make perfume.

This is actually very simple. Ever since he came back, Natalia has been urging him to make the perfume. Other things have been configured almost, and the perfume can be completed just waiting for the ambergris to be brewed.

Seeing a cabinet full of small bottles placed behind his workbench where he made perfume, Luo Feng asked curiously, "What are these? Don't tell me they are all perfume."

"Perfume, rouge, various cosmetics, and some pigments, all of which are labeled by me."

Luo Yue took a step forward to check, his eyes widened in an instant, in disbelief, it wasn't because of the bottles, but the cabinet.

The carved cabinet made of red sandalwood is expensive enough, but the problem is that some of the decorations on it are inlaid with silver, that is, inlaid with silver.

The cabinet alone is worth a fortune.

Understated luxury.

She had seen such furniture before, but she always thought that only the homes of senior officials in the imperial palace could have it.

After all, it is too expensive to be used by ordinary people.

Who would have thought that it would be found here now.

Thinking of Du Kang's identity, it was clearly made by him, and she didn't know how to describe his extravagance. Are people so rich now? When will she have this ability.

I'm afraid it's impossible to live such a life in her whole life. It's not that she's afraid, but she must. She may have such ability in her whole life.

Suppressing the shock in my heart, I looked at the small bottle above. There are dozens of perfumes alone, and there are also many kinds of skin care products.

She asked herself that although her family was not top-notch in the country, it was still average. At least she didn't have to worry about food and drink, and she never worried about other things since she was a child.

But there are only a few kinds of cosmetics for me, which has already made my girlfriends envious.

But look here, there are dozens of kinds of perfumes, rouges and spices.

She is already sour.

And it goes without saying that they are all made by Du Kang. Think about how a master carpenter can research and make so many good things for his wife specially for her.

At this moment, she regretted very much, why hadn't seen Du Kang, otherwise she would have caught him no matter what.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. Even if she is very confident in herself, she doesn't think she can snatch it from Natalia.
