Allure of a Country Maiden

After Jiang Yuheng said goodbye, Xiaoer went to teach Ma how to make rose tea.

Not just rose tea, but rose essential oil!

After Shangguan Xuanyi got back the distillation tools, she was going to teach Ma how to extract rose essential oil.

Rose essential oil is called the "Queen of Essential Oils", but it takes two thousand kilograms of roses to extract about one kilogram of rose essential oil, and ten kilograms of rose petals to produce one drop of rose essential oil. Therefore, rose essential oil can be said to be the most expensive essential oil in the world. , more expensive than gold.

But it is expensive but also valuable. Rose essential oil is very beneficial to women: it can fade spots, whiten skin, improve dry skin, and restore skin elasticity. It can not only beautify and nourish the face, but also nourish the body. It can treat female endocrine disorders, dysmenorrhea, and menopausal discomfort. It has curative effects and can nourish the uterus. It is the most suitable essential oil for women's health care.

The best time to refine essential oil is within 24 hours after picking the roses. The roses Xiaoer bought from Boss Feng had already passed the best refinement time, so she used them to train Ma.

Xiao'er runs a beauty salon, so this rose essential oil must be used. She has already refined it in her space, and now it's time to take it out to the public and sell it!

Refining rose essential oil is easier said than done. Just add fresh roses to water and use the principle of steam distillation to distill out a floating white oil-water mixture. In the second step, add sodium chloride (salt) to the oil-water mixture. Separate oil and water, then use a separatory funnel to separate the essential oil and water, and then further dewater and purify the rose essential oil to obtain pure rose essential oil.

To extract pure rose essential oil, in this backward ancient times, it was difficult to prepare all the materials and equipment and control the temperature.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of materials in the Xiaoer Space Processing Workshop, and it is not impossible to find these materials in real life. Now they are just waiting for Shangguan Xuanyi to bring the things back, and then they will start teaching Ma how to refine them.

The price of rose essential oil Xiaoer is one tael of gold and half a tael of essential oil. After hearing this, Ma thought this was crazy! Who would buy it if it’s so expensive?

Later, she started refining essential oil. She used up all the 5,000 kilograms of roses but could not extract much (of course, that was because the roses were no longer fresh enough). Ma felt that two taels of gold and one tael of essential oil were cheap! After being so busy for a year and a half, I haven’t even had a few drops of essential oil. How could this oil not be so valuable? If she spends her time digging for gold in a gold mine, how much gold can she dig out?

Since refining essential oils, Ma has been as busy as a dog. If she were to set the price, she would definitely want one tael of gold and one drop of essential oil!

Of course, this is something.

…

After leaving the small house, Jiang Yuheng was waiting outside the gate of the town, waiting for Shangguan Xuanyi to return.

He wanted to return to the imperial capital. Whether it was for his dead father and brother, or for the fifth princess, he had to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

Shangguan Xuanyi came back under the sunset. When he saw Jiang Yuheng waiting outside the city gate, he knew that he was waiting for him.

The two returned to the small house together and talked for a long time in the study.

Jiang Yuheng expressed his desire to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible, but he also knew that now that he was no longer the prince of Zhenguo, whoever recognized him after returning might be beaten to death before entering the city gate!

Jiang Weiqiang was a scheming man. His body has never been found. Perhaps it is not surprising that he has sent people to guard the city gate for so many years.

Jiang Yuheng did indeed fall into the water when he fell off the cliff, and was directly washed away by the rushing water. Later, he was probably washed ashore by the water, and was accidentally rescued by a watchman who went into the mountain to collect firewood.

All I can say is that his life should not be cut off!

Shangguan Xuanyi naturally supported Jiang Yuheng to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible, but after Shangguan Xuanyi tried Jiang Yuheng's skills, he changed his mind. His martial arts was too bad, so why should he go back to seek death?

In ten years, Jiang Weiqiang's people have long been in the current Zhenguo Duke's mansion.

And now Jiang Weiqiang is the Duke of Zhenguo, and Jiang Weien is the Crown Prince, personally named by the Emperor!

Jiang Yuheng can't produce evidence to prove that Jiang Weiqiang was responsible for the death of his father and brother ten years ago. It is impossible to return the position of Duke of this town to him!

After all, this is no child's play, you can just pay it back.

The two discussed it and decided that it was impossible to seek justice on the surface. Jiang Yuheng was also worried that the old prince could not bear such a blow. The second son killed the eldest son's family, and the grandson turned back to retaliate against the second son. An old man would not be willing to do so. He saw it, so Jiang Yuheng chose to assassinate him. He didn't have many relatives left in this world.

For his own selfish desires, Jiang Weiqiang actually ignored the interests of the country and the safety of the soldiers, and set up a trap to kill his own brother, nephew. Such a person deserves to die, and even the emperor will not condone it, but the premise is that there must be evidence. Without evidence, Everything is one-sided.

But ten years later, Xiyue Kingdom has been destroyed, and all the damned people are dead. If you want to find evidence, you will no doubt be looking for a needle in a haystack.

Shangguan Xuanyi and Jiang Yuheng grew up together, so they naturally believed in him and were willing to help him.

Jiang Yuheng wanted to avenge himself, so he could only practice martial arts and find opportunities to assassinate him.

On the long river of time, everyone is sailing against the current, and will retreat if he does not advance.

The days when Jiang Yuheng lost his memory for ten years were the days of stagnation and retreat if he did not advance! Although he does a set of boxing exercises every morning, his martial arts skills are no longer as good as they were ten years ago. However, Jiang Weiqiang and Jiang Weien are constantly improving and growing in power.

Jiang Yuheng wants to kill them now, which is impossible.

Shangguan Xuanyi decided to arrange for Jiang Yuheng to join his personal guard. Although the hard training there was not as difficult as that of the secret guard, the training was still very strong.

So Jiang Yuheng became a personal guard of Prince Rui's Mansion under the name Liang Dali.

Shangguan Xuanyi gave him a token and asked Zhao Yong to take him to report tomorrow.

Shangguan Xuanyi's personal guard training camp was not in the imperial capital, but in a dangerous place. No one knew about it except his personal guards and himself.

The two discussed many things, and it wasn't until the moon was halfway up that Jiang Yuheng said goodbye and left.

Shangguan Xuanyi returned to the room, and Xiaoer was studying several sets of relatively successful data on drying roses today.

She registered the amount of firewood, heat, time, how many dried flowers can be obtained from a pound of flowers, etc., and calculated an average.

From now on, if you follow this average value, there will generally be no mistakes.

Shangguan Xuanyi bent down and hugged Xiaoer from behind, resting his head on her shoulder: "Are you done? Are you tired?"

"I'm done, I'm not tired." Xiaoer's energy was relatively good, and she didn't feel tired even if she was standing in front of the scented tea that had been baking for a day.

Dear book friends, I wish you a happy new year and good health. I hope I can continue to walk hand in hand with you in 2018...

And thank you everyone for your votes~~
