The wrong marriage: the arrogant husband comes to farm

Chapter 63 Thoughts
Aunt Li wove bamboo strips together deftly. The craftsmanship was exquisite. Qin Mengyao deliberately poured water on it, and no water stains seeped out for a long time.

According to the previous appearance, several broken pots were spliced ​​together, and after the outside was tightly wrapped with bamboo strips, a few pieces of bark were tied at the seams, and they were shaken vigorously for a few times. The strangely shaped "distiller" was placed on top of the stove again.Although there is not even a cooling pool on the still, and cold water needs to be poured manually, it is rare to make it look like this.

Sophora japonica flowers have been in the sun for two days, and Qin Mengyao has already collected them for experimentation.Aunt Li looked at the strangely shaped thing, not knowing what kind of medicine Qin Mengyao was selling in the gourd, so she stood by and watched with determination.

Qin Mengyao poured well water into the furnace through the small hole reserved, and re-sealed the whole still pot, leaving only the small tube on one side to guide the steam out.Thinking of the embarrassment of lighting the fire two days ago, I couldn't help but have the cheek to ask Aunt Li to help light the fire, and I felt relieved.

The fire ignited quickly, and after a while the water in the pot continued to boil, and white steam came out of the spout, but when it touched the bowl Qin Mengyao deliberately held at the spout, it condensed into The water droplets, slowly converging into the water, fell into the bowl below.

As soon as the fire arrived, Qin Mengyao didn't care about burning his hands. He opened the small hole on the distillation pot, grabbed the Sophora japonica flowers and stuffed them in. He stuffed a basket of Sophora japonica flowers into the pot, and then quickly blocked the hole. Lift the small cooling bowl and place it over the steam outlet.

After a while, I saw steam coming out of the distillation pot continuously, condensing, and falling down in a steady stream.It's just that the bowl is getting hotter and hotter, and steam is constantly coming out from under the bowl and floating into the air.In this way, fewer and fewer drops of water fall down.

"Mengyao, what are you doing? Boiling the water but only needing this water vapor, wasting so much firewood for nothing." Seeing that so much firewood was wasted, but only to collect this little water vapor, Aunt Li couldn't help feeling Distressed, knowing that those firewood were all brought back by her man from the mountain bit by bit, now it feels a bit worthless after looking at it.

Qin Mengyao picked up the bowl of water from the ground, measured it carefully for a while, pointed to the thin layer of grease floating on the water surface, and said, "Aunt Li, dip your finger in the water, and then smell it."

Aunt Li was dubious, stretched out her index finger and scratched it in the bowl, put it under her nose, her frown suddenly relaxed, and she looked at Qin Mengyao with some doubts, "It smells so good! It's so familiar, like... ...I can't remember it at this moment."

Gently putting the bowl aside, Qin Mengyao looked at Aunt Li with a smile, and was not in a hurry to speak.

"Oh, it's the scent of Sophora japonica! Why am I so familiar with it? It's strange. It's just that I boiled some Sophora japonica in water, and the water actually smells of Sophora japonica. Mengyao, how did you do it?" Aunt Li was excited Looking at Qin Mengyao, he seemed happier than Qin Mengyao.

"Actually, these are nothing more than simple things, and this is only the basic stage. When I purify this fragrance, it will be dozens of times more fragrant than what you smell now!" Qin Mengyao looked down at the fragrance. liquid in a bowl.Although water and oil have different densities, oil and water will automatically separate, and it is much more difficult to separate the oil on the water surface than to simply obtain this liquid.

"It's even more fragrant than this! Then I really can't imagine it. The water alone is much more fragrant than the pagoda tree on the tree. How could it be more fragrant?" Aunt Li still put her index finger under her nose, He kept sniffing the aroma on his hands, "I don't plan to wash these hands today, I'll save them for Zhong'er and his father to smell."

Qin Mengyao's eyes were full of smiles, "Aunt Li is so shameless, maybe she still plans to never wash her hands for the rest of her life, I'm afraid Zhong'er's father won't be able to hold back his chopsticks when cooking..."

"If this scent lasts forever, I really plan to keep it like this forever. In this world, which woman would not love fragrance, it's just that the conditions in our small mountain village don't allow it, otherwise I really imagine those little daughter-in-laws in the city It’s the same with makeup and powder, and even the wind is full of fragrance when you walk,” Aunt Li thought of the gorgeous young ladies she saw in the city, and she was yearning for it.

Qin Mengyao was a little surprised by Aunt Li's frankness. In her impression, women in ancient times were always restrained and reserved, and exquisite makeup was usually reserved for prostitutes. She did not expect this world to be so fashionable. Even rural women like Aunt Li have this awareness, which shows that the love of beauty has existed since ancient times.

In this way, Qin Mengyao's original thoughts were strengthened.
