Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 326 Perfume

The composition of perfume is actually very simple, because it has only three components, namely essential oil, alcohol and fixative.

For example, orange peel contains a lot of essential oils, which can be squeezed out with just a squeeze, and as long as these squeezed out essential oils are released into alcohol, and then add a little musk as a fixative, then A bottle of orange-scented perfume is ready.

In later generations, these things can be easily bought in the market, but in Datang, Gao Ming can only choose to do it himself.

"living comfortably without anybody's help!"

While muttering, Gao Ming widened his eyes and stared at the flower essential oil extraction equipment made of bamboo in front of him. Watching the drops of water dripping from the bamboo tube into the copper basin, Gao Ming suddenly had an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. .

"The first bottle of perfume came from my hand, how will future generations evaluate me? The father of perfume? Hahahaha..."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing Gao Ming who was having fun alone, Hu Zi scratched the back of his head immediately.

"His Royal Highness, are you ready?"

"almost!"

Gao Ming was in a good mood, so he nodded towards Lin Sen while smiling.

"This extraction equipment seems to have no problem, it should be regarded as a success, Lin Sen, you are here to watch, every time you change the petals in the bamboo tube every time you have a cup of tea, two handfuls are enough each time, and you must pay attention to other things. Let the pot of water boil dry."

After hearing Gao Ming's order, Lin Sen nodded immediately, his face full of seriousness.

"Yes, the villain knows!"

Seeing his serious look, Gao Ming nodded again.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you next, and those wet cloths wrapped on the bamboo tubes, you can pour some cold water on them every once in a while, don't let it get too hot."

"Yes!"

After ordering Lin Sen, Gao Ming turned his head to look at Huzi again.

"Huzi, I'll go in and rest for a while. You stay here and watch. If the water in the basin is full, bring it in for me, and then change another basin. Do you understand?"

"understood!"

"Well, it's fine if you understand, then I'll go in!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming turned around and left the courtyard, and went back to the royal club to drink tea.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the tea leaves in the teapot had been changed twice. Just when Gao Ming was about to ask Yun'er to change the tea leaves for the third time, Hu Zi came in with a basin.

"His Royal Highness, the water is full!"

Hearing Huzi's words, Gao Ming immediately understood that the first pot of distilled water had been filled, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, it's fine when it's full, put the basin on the table and let me have a look."

"Yes!"

Huzi agreed, and placed the copper basin in his hand on the table in front of Gao Ming. Gao Ming took a closer look, and immediately found a layer of oil paint floating on the water.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Well, this is it, Huzi, go and find me a bowl and a spoon."

"Yes!"

Soon, Huzi found the bowl and spoon. Gao Ming held the bowl in his left hand and the spoon in his right hand, and scooped the water from the basin into the bowl.

Seeing Gao Ming's actions, Hu Zi frowned immediately.

"His Royal Highness, why don't I find you a bigger spoon, when will you scoop like this?"

"Uh……"

As soon as Huzi finished speaking, Gao Ming's hand trembled, and then he gave Huzi a hard look.

"You know a hammer, just stand there!"

"Yes!"

Huzi is very obedient, and immediately stood aside after hearing Gao Ming's words, and Gao Ming ignored him and continued to concentrate on scooping water.

Of course, Gao Ming is not simply scooping water, but is scooping up the essential oil of flowers. The things floating on the water that look like oil paints are the essential oils of peony flowers. Gao Ming separates the ordinary distilled water and the essential oils of flowers by hand.

Soon, the essential oil of these peonies in the basin was scooped into the bowl by Gao Ming. Gao Ming checked it carefully and found that there was nothing missing, so he nodded towards Huzi.

"Well, Huzi, go and pour out this basin of water, then continue to go out and watch over it, and bring it back to me when the next basin is full."

"Yes!"

Hu Zi agreed, and went out with the basin. After he walked for a while, Wu Mei came over with a plate of cakes and a pot of tea.

"His Royal Highness, your tea may be cold, Mei Niang will replace it with a hot pot for you."

As she said that, she poured a cup of tea for Gao Ming with her own hands. Watching her movements, Gao Ming immediately stretched out his hand to hook her chin with a smile.

"Hey, Mei Niang, you finally remembered that my tea was cold? I thought you were too busy playing mahjong to forget about me!"

"Hey..."

Wu Mei's chin was hooked by Gao Ming, she was secretly happy and shy, her little face turned red in a flash.

"His Royal Highness, it was Princess Gaoyang who asked Meiniang to play with them just now, how dare Meiniang forget you, isn't this coming right away!"

"Well, it's almost there!"

As he spoke, Gao Ming let go of Wu Mei's jaw.

Although Gao Ming withdrew her hand, Wu Mei's heart was still beating non-stop. In order to prevent Gao Ming from seeing her strangeness, she quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Your Highness, have you finished everything you want?"

At this moment, Gao Ming was drinking tea from a teacup. After hearing Wu Mei's words, he immediately put down the teacup and nodded.

"Well, it's almost there. Have you seen the bowl on the table? It's what I want in it."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wu Mei noticed that there was still a bowl on the table, but when she saw clearly what was in the bowl, she frowned immediately.

"Your Highness, what is in this bowl? It looks greasy."

"Haha, greasy is right!"

As soon as Wu Mei finished speaking, Gao Ming laughed again.

"This thing is the essential oil of the peony flower. Don't look at it, it's just a little bit. It took me a lot of effort to get it out. It's rare."

"Really?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wu Mei's eyes were filled with curiosity. She picked up the bowl and sniffed it closely.

With this sniff, her entire face wrinkled.

"This smell is so weird, and it's a bit pungent, not like the scent of peonies at all."

Seeing Wu Mei's disgusted look, Gao Ming didn't explain, just shook his head with a smile.

Not long after, Hu Zi came in again with a basin of water, and Gao Ming, like last time, scooped the peony essential oil floating on the water into the bowl, and asked Hu Zi to take the water and pour it out when it was done.

This was repeated several times, and when Huzi came with half a basin of water to tell Gao Ming that all the peony flowers had been used up, the bowl in Gao Ming's hand was almost full.

At this time, the peony essential oil in the bowl is no longer the same as the oil paint at the beginning, but has already floated about an inch of oil layer in the bowl. Gao Ming can scoop up a spoonful of pink oil with a spoon. Peony essential oil.

Looking at this spoonful of pink peony essential oil, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Haha, it's done...it's finally done, hahahaha..."
