The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 364 Famous Doctor (1)
Peppermint is not considered a precious medicinal material, and Leng Ping's minimum income of [-] cash for that little mint is really pitifully small.

That's it, Huaying still gave her more!
"Master Hua, I want to use this mint to make a kind of perfume. When I put it on my body, it will not only smell delicious, but also prevent mosquitoes. It will definitely be a big hit this summer!" Leng Ping said after thinking about it.

"What is perfume?" Huaying was taken aback.

Leng Ping explained the principle of perfume to Hua Ying, and said: "If Master Hua is interested in the future, just wait for me for a few days, I will make a few bottles first, and Master Hua will try to sell it!"

Hua Ying felt a little moved.

The weather is hot and there are more mosquitoes. Many people come to pharmacies to buy anti-mosquito medicines, but the most popular one is wormwood, which is cheap and has always been the first choice to repel mosquitoes.

Wormwood can be ignited or made into a sachet, but the smell of wormwood is not pleasant, so some ladies and wives who love beauty would rather ignore the fan in summer.

If there is such a perfume, it smells good when you put it on your body, and it can also repel mosquitoes, then maybe it will be a big hit!
Huaying immediately agreed on the date of her next visit, and the medicine needed to make the perfume will be replenished.

After Huaying left, Hao Dan came up and asked, "Sister, can you really make this kind of perfume?"

Leng Ping couldn't help laughing and said, "How did you learn to eavesdrop?"

Hao Dan immediately said: "I'm afraid that my sister will be deceived by Mr. Hua. These businessmen are very shrewd. My sister only grows medicine at home on weekdays, and doesn't know the market outside!"

"I've thought about this a long time ago. Actually, if you don't come along, I want you to help me with the perfume matter this time!" Through the matter of the iron stove and the reclining chair, Leng Ping could see that Hao Dan was born to be good at it. It just so happened that she didn't bother to bother with buying and selling materials, so apart from research and development, everything was left to Hao Dan to take care of.

When Hao Dan heard it, he jumped up with joy.

In the past six months, Hua'er's silk flower business has also plummeted. Also, a headgear has been popular for three years, and it's about the same, so Hua'er also got involved.

Leng Ping develops the mosquito repellent perfume, while Hao Dan is in charge of the perfume bottle.

Leng Ping recalled a year when she traveled to Guilin, where she bought sweet-scented osmanthus perfume, small ceramic bottles of various shapes and colors, with a wooden cover on top, tied with a rope, and could be hung on the body as accessories.

Leng Ping drew more than a dozen shapes according to the shape of those bottles, and handed them over to Hao Dan.

Hao Dan has been selling goods in the city for the past few years and met a lot of people. He soon found an artist who burns ceramics, showed him the blueprints, and ordered a hundred in advance.

Because it is made to order, this bottle is not cheap, and one is about eight yuan.

Leng Ping organized people to start picking mint, and Huayao also sent cinnamon bark, camphor and other raw materials that were needed, and pressed them into oil.

Leng Ping, Hua'er, Hao Shi and others tried it out first, applied the oil essence, and went to the river.

At this moment, the three women of the Hao family, taking advantage of the darkness, lifted up their trouser legs, wiped the oil on their hands, arms and face, and stood by the shining river.

"Sister-in-law, does this thing really work? Don't let the mosquitoes bite you all in a while!" Hua'er was a little worried. Deliberately stand by the river to attract mosquitoes.

"Try it and you'll know!" Leng Ping said, she made it according to the formula of modern cooling oil, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The results proved that the cooling oil really worked, but the effect was not as obvious as Leng Ping imagined. Leng Ping had to mix the prescription again, and tried it again. After going back and forth for a month, finally when it was the hottest time, the mosquitoes Most of the time, this perfume was successfully developed, and Leng Ping named it Qingliangyou.

Not long after, the bottle customized by Hao Dan was also brought, and Leng Ping smashed the cool oil into the bottle, and then sent it to the Huayao store in person.

Because the cooling oil was delayed for too long, Huaying had already given up. Hearing that the production was finally successful, she was naturally happy, so she took a few bottles for the women at home to use.

One day, Mrs. Hua put on the cooling oil and took her maids to a tea party held by a noble lady in Licheng. The tea party was held by the pond, and all the ladies used two maids to play fans. The bite was not light.

Mrs. Hua only brought a close lady with her, and she didn't need her to fan her. She sat comfortably and came down all night without any bite marks on her body.

The rest of the noble ladies were naturally curious, and Mrs. Hua took the opportunity to talk about the cooling oil, and the noble ladies were immediately moved. That night, the cooling oil became popular in Licheng.

The next day, all the more than 100 bottles of balm oil were sold out, and it was also heard that the maidservants of two wives fought for the last bottle of balm oil.

Leng Ping became famous again with the cool oil.

After entering July, Leng Ping took Coptis chinensis to harvest the poppies.

Leng Ping smokes the poppies first, then removes the stalks and seeds, and frys them in vinegar to make poppy ke.

Because of the flowers before, Leng Ping agreed to give [-]% to Situ Zhanchen, so there are not many poppies left, but fortunately, the seeds and the cut tobacco paste are in Leng Ping's hands, and it is no problem to continue planting this year. In time!
Because of the particularity of the poppy, Leng Ping did it all by herself, and Huang Lian was only a part of the process.

When it was almost time to work, Leng Ping asked Cao Dabi to go to the Huayao store to send a letter to Huaying, asking him to notify Situ Zhanchen to pick up the medicine.

While Leng Ping was waiting for Situ Zhanchen, someone suddenly came to see a doctor.

On this day, Leng Ping was lying under the shed built in the yard, eating the cool melon in the well, and fell asleep.

The weather was too hot, and although the house hadn't been built yet, Leng Ping asked the villagers to suspend work for fear of heatstroke.

Just when Leng Ping was about to fall asleep, someone knocked on the door of Hao's house.

Leng Ping was startled, and quickly sat up, at this moment Tao Zi had already trotted to open the door.

Outside the gate, came the housekeeper of the old house of the Ruan family. Standing outside the door, he asked, "Is this Miss Leng's home? Let me know that people from the old house of the Ruan family are here!"

The butler was very stubborn, and ordered Tao Zi in a cold voice.

Tao Zi took a look at the housekeeper, pouted in displeasure, and turned to look at Leng Ping.

Leng Ping had a good night's sleep when someone quarreled, and she was unhappy, but when she heard that the person was so rude, fortunately she continued to pretend to be asleep, pretending she didn't hear it.

"Our lady is asleep. I'm afraid I won't have time to see you. If you have anything to do, please let me know. I can pass it on!" Seeing that Leng Ping was lying still, Tao Zi understood and said standing at the door.
