Chapter 433: The Miraculous Uses of Fragrant Grass
After a night of hard thinking last night, Bi Yuntao finally remembered what he had recorded in the laboratory.
The most memorable one is that researchers discovered that aromatic grass contains an ingredient that can be used to make pure plant protein perfume without adding any chemicals. It can be said to be a luxury product for the upper class.
Aromatic grass is like a weed on the roadside in China, and no one cares about it, so it can be said to be a huge profit for that research laboratory.
However, the research went on and on, and the direction of the research went astray. Through a certain method, a researcher actually developed a new type of drug.
This also caused the laboratory to be paid attention to by the government. When Bi Yuntao destroyed the production chain in the past, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. It happened that the information on how to extract aromatic grass and how to make perfume was still intact.
Out of curiosity, Bi Yuntao secretly made a copy and even studied it carefully for a while, but he was busy with his career and had no chance to practice it.
But now I have nothing to do, and there is a pot of fragrant grass in front of me, which can be used for practice.
I just feel a little sorry for Sister Xue. Sister Xue kindly gave the fragrant grass to me, but she wanted to destroy the fragrant grass. If she knew about it, she would probably not care about me anymore!
Speaking of refining, without the technology of modern society, refining this thing is extremely difficult. However, Bi Yuntao is not worried, because the information clearly explains what to do when it cannot be refined, and the method is simple enough that anyone can do it.
Just as he said, Bi Yuntao got up, walked out of the room, and found Jing Fuwang who had just put back the deed of betrayal.
"Uncle Jing, go get me some petals." Bi Yuntao said.
"Petals?" Bi Yuntao's request made Jing Fuwang startled, and he asked doubtfully: "Petals are easy to make. Although it is already winter, the temperature in Jinling City is not as low as the capital, so there are still many greenhouses that can be made. Yes, I just don’t know what my uncle wants the petals for?"
"Don't worry about this." Bi Yuntao smiled mysteriously, took off his purse from his waist, threw it to Jing Fuwang, and said, "You can buy as much as you can with the money, and I want all kinds of flowers."
Seeing Bi Yuntao not wanting to say anything, Jing Fuwang stepped down to run errands for Bi Yuntao even though he was doubtful.
Time passed by in a blink of an eye. Jing Fuwang took several servants running errands and put pots of flower petals into Bi Yuntao's room.
"Uncle," Jing Fuwang said respectfully, "These are all the petals I can buy. It's still the end of the year, so the demand for petals is very tight."
"Well, these should be enough. If not, let's talk!" Bi Yuntao nodded.
The number of petals in front of him was somewhat beyond his expectation. Meng Ruolang wanted to get flowers to show his courtesy to Xiao Yu, so he had no choice but to go to the palace to steal them. But now if these petals turned into flowers, they would probably It’s enough for Meng Ruolang to give away for a year.
"Uncle Jing, thank you for your hard work." Bi Yuntao smiled, took out a piece of silver from his belt, threw it to Jing Fuwang, and said, "Uncle Jing, please distribute this silver to the servants who helped, think of it as me Invite them to tea."
After a short period of contact, Jing Fuwang finally saw clearly what kind of person Bi Yuntao was. He was really generous with the people around him and was no longer vague at all, so he stopped being pretentious and readily agreed.
"Then I will thank you for all of them." Jing Fuwang said respectfully, "Do you have any other instructions for me? If not, I would have resigned first."
"Okay, Uncle Jing, go about your business first!" Bi Yuntao nodded and said, "I'll call you if something happens."
Bi Yuntao moved the flower pot of fragrant grass over and cut off one of the larger fragrant grasses. It didn't matter, but he actually saw a four-leaf clover mixed in. This made Bi Yuntao slightly surprised. The four-leaf clover was representative. Good luck, does this mean that his good luck is coming?
With this excitement, Bi Yuntao carefully dug out the four-leaf clover and planted it in another flower pot. If it really brought good luck, he would take good care of this four-leaf clover in the future.
After planting the four-leaf clover, Bi Yuntao crushed the cut branches and leaves of the fragrant grass, and then put the pungent sap into a large jar. Bi Yuntao went to get a lot of rose petals, and finally squeezed out a little bit of juice. Bi Yuntao put them in another small cup as if they were treasures.
The research information on aromatic grass making perfume comes to mind. I know that brewing a bottle of perfume requires dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of petals.
Fortunately, Jing Fuwang got a lot this time, otherwise he would really be in trouble.
To make essence, you must first extract the juice, and to extract the juice, it is best to extract it with a solvent. But under the extremely simple conditions of this world, no matter where to get any solvent, the pressing method is the most practical. At worst, the raw materials will be wasted and the cost will be more expensive.
Both juices are roughly processed, and both are still mixed with little bits of debris, making them very rough. However, this is only a preliminary experiment, and there is no need to delve into these details.
Both juices needed to settle for a while, so he took a short nap, and when Bi Yuntao woke up, it was already time to turn on the lamp.
Bi Yuntao was so surprised that he almost bit off his tongue. He slept so sweetly that he felt like he wanted to sleep until the end of the world. Could it be said that this fragrant herb has the effect of aiding sleep? But after thinking about it, he finally understood why the research laboratory wanted to research drugs.
He lit the oil lamp and saw that the juice had become partially clear. Bi Yuntao hurriedly poured some fragrant grass into a small bowl, and a pungent smell hit his face. The rose liquid was too precious and he couldn't bear to use it more, so he dipped some of it with his chopsticks and put it into the fragrant grass.
It is strange to say that with just such a small amount of rose liquid, when it comes into contact with the juice of aromatic grass, the pungent smell is reduced a lot, but it is not completely eliminated. Bi Yuntao knows that this is because there is too little rose liquid, so he endures the pain Added a little more.
Sure enough, with just this little extra, the effect was extremely obvious. Not only was the pungent smell gone, but the fragrance of roses was faintly present.
Bi Yuntao was overjoyed, there was indeed something going on. In order to further experiment, I added some rose liquid, and the light fragrance turned into a strong fragrance. Although the smell is strong, it is not cloying, which is completely different from those gouache.
The room was instantly filled with fragrance, bathed in the fragrance of rose water.
Ness! Bi Yuntao clenched his fists in excitement. He succeeded in just one attempt. What a blessing!
Bi Yuntao hurriedly looked at the four-leaf clover he had planted before. The good luck of this four-leaf clover had indeed befallen me. It seems that in the future, you can make a fortune even without using Feizhai Happy Water.
