The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 313: Distillation Vat

Because Guo Nuangang was transferred by his cheap father-in-law Daizong to be a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.This is a cold and lonely place for books.It was so deserted that there were almost only rats and cockroaches for company.It is a pity that the Imperial Academy has collected many national treasures and ancient books.Even rats.Xiaoqiang's small animals also disappeared in the Imperial Academy.

So Guo Nuan usually has no official business.The literate eunuchs are also responsible for copying and writing.At most, he went back to the Imperial Palace and Hanlin Academy every three to five days to sit on duty.

Have a lot of free time.Guo Nuan and Abu let go of their arms and tossed in the thatched laboratory hut on the back hill of the Princess Mansion.

For lavender essential oil.Guo Nuan said to Abu.The extracted flower oil can play a supernatural beauty and whitening effect.Especially for scars.Only scars that are not so deep that there is no cure.Just stick to the lavender gold essential oil developed by Guo Nuan.It will definitely make Wang Yueyi's face glow with its original and moving brilliance.

Abu was excited.He has always believed in Guo Nuan's words.These two guys were busy running around the major shops in Chang'an every day to prepare production materials and equipment.

For refining essential oils.First, there must be a large still.For the custom-made glass distillation flasks of West O'Fringen at the Huren Grocery Avenue store in Chang'an.Far from enough capacity.

It is said that essential oils are precious.It's because it can distill a few ounces of essential oil from an average of [-] kilograms of lavender petals.This is a huge project.In the era of Datang without modern scientific and technological instruments.It is indeed not easy to achieve such a goal.

Guo Nuan fantasized about the refined yellow and shiny oil.The birth of lavender essential oil full of fragrance and freshness.He seemed to be more energetic as if he had taken an aphrodisiac.I often work with Abu in the Houshan laboratory until midnight and enjoy it.The princess, who had been looking forward to Lang's return for a long time, brought her servants to invite her back to bed.

The preparatory work has now been carried out for five days.Guo Nuan looked at the over four-meter-high super-giant tile vat with a round belly and two ears placed in the corner of the laboratory.He was excited.

This large tile vat was custom-made by Guo Nuan and Abu who went to the ceramic workshop in the suburbs of Chang'an.It is said that the owner of the workshop should see Guo Nuan's design drawings.Can't help clicking tongue again and again.It was the first time for the workshop owner to meet the need for such a large vase.

"No, no. It's not a vase. This is a clay pot for distillation. Boss, you must not glaze it and make it into blue and white porcelain. Just go with the bare color." Guo Nuan specifically told the owner of the workshop at that time.He wanted to put such a big guy on the stove for heating and distillation.

A large cylinder more than four meters high.It is said that the workshop took the initiative to use the largest kiln.However, when the finished large cylinder needs to be baked and fired.He found that the entrance of the largest kiln could not be plugged in.Got it.Seeing that Guo Nuan, a big customer, gave more than 2000 taels of silver.The owner of the workshop sent ceramic craftsmen to remove the seal of the kiln.It was only then that the big vase was barely stuffed in.

After two days and two nights of firing.and fifteen combined ox carts for transportation.Staggering through the city has attracted countless curious onlookers from the people along the way.Guo Nuan finally transported the distillation tank back to the Princess Mansion.

Because the big tank is too big.Even the grand gate of the princess mansion.It's only three meters high.Now Guo Nuan had no choice but to mobilize the handyman craftsmen in the mansion to dig a big hole in the wall next to the main entrance of the princess mansion.

Looking at Shengping's wife who was holding the child at the time, she was very surprised.Especially when little Guo Xiang saw this huge monster.Even Yiyi stretched out her little hands and danced wildly.It looks like he wants to touch the still.Guo Nuan couldn't help but froze.This tank is really big.In the half month after the incident, several big bosses in the central government were alarmed.One after another, they came to the princess mansion to watch this legendary still which was extremely novel.

"En. Zeng. This guy is called Zeng. It is said that there is also a distillery pot for extracting alcohol from rice in the distillery. But it is made of copper." Guo Nuan's grandfather once opened a small wine making workshop in the countryside.When I was young, Guo Nuan always went to the brewery to watch the miraculous distillation process.Especially about pouring white rice into a big steamer.Grill over a wood fire.After a few hours, the fragrant and intoxicating wine flowed out of the sharp mouth nozzle at the bottom of the vat.Guo Nuan was fascinated by this.

Now he is refining toilet water and essential oils.Thanks to visiting my grandfather's workshop when I was a child.Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to toss out some equipment.

The large tank was erected in the open space next to the thatched house.A tall stove.The vat is dropped on the cooktop using the overhead pulley zipper.It took a lot of manpower.

"Well. A slotted interception channel is dug through the bottom of the cylinder wall. Let the heated steam cool down in the cold water cycle between the two layers of cylinder walls. In this way, the flower essential oil in the small cylinder on the inner wall of the steamer condenses and collects into the storage bottle outside the flow channel. ri. That's about it and you're done."

Guo Nuan explained the principle of distillation to Abu.Relative to the elemental composition in the aforementioned fruits and vegetables.Abu is still very familiar with the principle of distillation.Will not be confused.

It is said that Abu is a Middle Eastern alchemist.Just like the Taoist warlocks in the Eastern Central Plains.They are all good at refining pills with various utensils.He is very familiar with the distillation process.

This big tank.The mouth of the cylinder is facing the sky.Under the command of Guo Nuan.The servants are holding bundles of firewood diligently and looking at the stove at the bottom of the vat to add fuel.This fiery flame rises up.As for the mouth of the big tank, misty water vapor is also curling up.Piao Miao arrived above the ethereal green hills.

Distillation is really time-consuming and labor-intensive.Fortunately, Qingshan is not afraid of running out of firewood.The Princess Mansion is located beside the beautiful foothills on the outskirts of Chang'an.Circled a large mountain range.The firewood cut by craftsmen on the mountain every year is almost piled up into a hill.

Guo Nuan just let the big tank burn.Burn from day to dawn.A full twenty or so carriage firewood was used.Here.More than 1000 catties of lavender petals placed in a large tank at one time plus water.Guo Nuan can imagine that it is almost ready to be refined.

Unplug the nozzle of the oil outlet pipe at the bottom of the large tank.The small copper tube hesitated for half a minute.Just when Guo Nuan and his group watched anxiously and stared impatiently at the oil outlet.

"Alas. There it is. It's oily," one of the servants exclaimed cheerfully.

Guo Nuan took a closer look.Sure enough, the small tank just received a few drops of the light yellow transparent oil left by the tick.The liquid flow is getting bigger and bigger.The rich aroma of essential oils permeates within a radius of tens of meters.It caused everyone to close their eyes subconsciously and take a deep breath.Greedily breathed the smell in the air.A look of intoxication.

Drainage for about ten minutes.When Guo Nuan held Xiao Weng carefully.Look at the shiny essential oils inside.Can't help but be happy.

"Quack. This is a product that cost thousands of taels of white money and a lot of money to refine. It weighs about seven or eight catties. It's enough to take a bath."

But seven or eight catties of flower essential oil.It cost Guo Nuan more than 6000 taels of silver in the entire production process.Plus manpower and material resources.There are countless more.This lavender essential oil is indeed like a fine nectar from heaven and earth.No.Guo Nuan subconsciously corrected this statement.It should be called golden water.

Guo Nuan immediately ran to Shengping's wife holding the can of golden water.He unsealed Xiao Weng.Shengping smiled sweetly.Very pleasant.

"My dear. What is this? It smells so good. Can I drink it?" The originally dignified Princess Shengping suddenly turned into a little girl's joyful surprise.She held Xiao Weng in Guo Nuan's hand and couldn't put it down.

Talk about the word "pro" in Shengping's mouth.It was still infected by Guo Nuan.Guo Nuan is a time traveler.He always likes to mutter some fancy new words in his mouth.Shengping found it quite interesting.For Guo Nuan, she also learned the words "kiss" and "kiss".

"Quack. This is a new product developed by your husband." Guo Nuan laughed at Shengping with his hands on his hips.

Shengping only found out now.It turned out that Guo Nuan had forgotten to eat and sleep these days.Night clothing and food.Tossing in the laboratory day and night.Just for this thing.

"Wife, this thing is very useful. You can use it if you like. After you use it up, your husband can refine it." Guo Nuan patted his chest and said.

Then he told Shengping about the usefulness of essential oils.For example, Shengping sometimes suffers from insomnia at night.Keep a small glass bottle of essential oils on your dresser next to your bed.Go to bed and drip some toilet water on the pillow.Guaranteed to sleep soundly.

"Really. I smelled it now. I feel much lighter and more comfortable all over." Shengping dipped his finger in some essential oil and sniffed it.Surprised.

"Also. It can also be used as a perfume. However, Shengping's wife needs to dilute this highly concentrated essential oil before using it." Guo Nuan thought that afterward, he would have to use a small ceramic bottle similar to a snuff bottle as a perfume bottle.Dilute a few milliliters of essential oil with a hundred times the dose of distilled water.In this way, even one kilogram of essential oil can produce thousands of small bottles of perfume.

"Quack. I suddenly thought of a good plan." Guo Nuan thought of owning thousands of small bottles of limited-edition lavender perfume.It is estimated that one is on the market.It will definitely be snapped up by countless noble women.If it is a limit auction.It is estimated that the money spent in vain poured into the pocket like a torrent.Guo Nuan was instantly overwhelmed by the beautiful fantasy.

Of course, essential oils can soothe the mind of people who are prone to insomnia like Shengping's wife.It also nourishes the skin.Applied on the face more delicate.Essential oils can also be made into body washes.Pour a few small caps of body wash into the tub.The bath is absolutely smooth into white jade suet.

It is also an excellent recipe for adding light fragrance to clothes and repelling insects.Of course, essential oils can also be used to treat gynecological diseases.

"Gynecology." Shengping blushed.The shyness of a woman emerges.

"Enen..." Guo Nuan gave another coy way of graciousness.The two in-laws did not make it clear.It was quite tacitly conveyed to the other party.

"Below...there is used to reduce inflammation and relieve itching. Quack" Guo Nuan pointed at the lower part of the body with a funny finger.said embarrassingly.

Chatting with Shengping about lavender essential oil.Guo Nuan almost forgot to lighten Wang Yueyi's scars.He used a large bottle to fill Xiaoweng's essential oils to the brim.Leave the other half of the essential oil to Shengping.He probably combined the previous vegetable and fruit mask.He is confident that Wang Yueyi's scar can be healed.

After calling Abu.Get in the carriage.The two of them then rushed to the palace impromptuly.Wang Yueyi might be very happy.
