Skin care net red in ancient times

01.

All kinds of utensils are basically ready, and the pottery is relatively rough, so Mu Yao plans to use it first.Anyway, I picked a lot of verbena this time, and Mu Yao has already put them in a ventilated cellar.

Mu Yao is very satisfied with this teahouse.The teahouse has two floors, and the second floor is a private room.Muyao on the second floor has not been moved for the time being, it is still the elegant tea room layout, and the first floor has been changed by Muyao to a counter display that is closer to the earth.Muyao didn't do too many fancy things, and there were white cotton cloths under the counter—the cotton textile industry in this world is very developed, which is similar to the Yuan Dynasty in history.

On the cotton cloth lay a bouquet of blue-purple verbena flowers, with some petals strewn haphazardly.After a while, a batch of skin care product containers that Muyao ordered came back, and Muyao planned to put these bottles directly on the white cotton cloth.

As for what to do... What Muyao first wanted to do was pure dew, which is the condensed water solution obtained from the distillation of flowers and plants—that is, distilled water.In the process of distillation, because the density of oil and water is different, the essential oil floats on the top, and the pure dew sinks below.Of course, the hydrosol also contains a small amount of essential oils, and most of the water-soluble substances in distilled flowers and plants contain a lot of mineral nutrients, some of which are not even found in essential oils.

Pure dew has the characteristics of being easily absorbed by the skin, and because of its low concentration, it is generally mild and non-irritating.Hydrosol can be used in many ways, such as toner, water mask, and daily care.The pure dew distilled and extracted from different kinds of flowers and plants also has different therapeutic and maintenance effects.

Of course, this kind of pure natural dew can actually be drunk.

Verbena Hydrosol can nourish the skin, reduce inflammation and swelling.Whether it can make the skin delicate is hard to say, anyway, no matter what the main function of all skin care products, they have to say something that makes the skin more delicate... Mu Yao thought of it.It may be more delicate, but the main purpose of verbena is to treat acne and acne.

Now all other materials and utensils are in place, only one thing is missing-the ice needed for cooling.

Ancient ice comes from two sources, one is stored ice in winter and stored in summer, and the other is ice made with saltpeter. In fact, ice making with saltpeter has been developed since the Tang Dynasty, which allowed the ancient cold drink industry to flourish.

Mu Yao didn't think about it until she got everything in order, but Bing was hard to find. She thought about it, and asked Sikong Zhaixing: "Is the internal energy practiced by you heroes divided into negative and positive?"

"You can also say that, what's the matter?" Sikong Zhaixing watched her tinkering with those weird containers and asked.

"Then are you feminine or masculine?" Mu Yao asked.

"It's overcast." Sikong Zhaixing said.

"Cough. Well, then can you breathe out cold air or something..." Mu Yao asked.

"Theoretically yes. But I don't use cold poison palm." Sikong Zhaixing said.

No, no, no.Mu Yao thought about it, and then she said embarrassedly: "Then can you make some ice cubes for this glass of water? I need ice cubes to make verbena hydrosol."

Sikong Zhaixing: "..."

Sikong Zhaixing said with some difficulty: "The cold poisonous palm technique is extremely vicious, and people in the world have changed their faces when they heard about it, almost to the point where everyone shouted and beat them..."

"Cough..." Mu Yao also felt that he had some strange ideas.

"You actually developed such a use now." Sikong Zhaixing was speechless.

"Hey, hey hey... This is called rational use of all resources." Mu Yao said nonsense: "There is no insidious martial arts, only insidious people."

"If I hadn't listened to what you said just now, hehehe, I really would have believed the second half of your sentence." Sikong Zhaixing Yungong, slapped out with a palm, and laughed at the same time: "The girl's tongue is so sharp, it really... "

"What is it really?" Mu Yao stared.

Sikong Zhaixing: "It made me like you even more." His dark eyes were like stars in the night, and his smile was very pretty.As soon as the words finished, the cup was full of white air, Mu Yao was instantly attracted attention, Sikong Zhaoxing closed his palm, at that moment he withdrew all smiles, his eyes were cold and sharp, this was a subconscious reaction when he palmed.But it was only for a second, and he regained the smile on his face.

Mu Yao didn't notice that although she had traveled here for several days, she was still far away from chivalry and tenderness, sword courage and piano heart. She only knew that Sikong Zhaixing was a good and interesting person, but she didn't realize that The other party has also been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he also has a rather difficult side.

Mu Yao leaned over excitedly and saw that the water in the glass had completely frozen into ice.

"Wow. It's amazing!" Mu Yao couldn't help but said, "If only I could learn this too."

Sikong Zhaixing almost turned over with a smile: "Ms. Shepherd, you are really enough." Does she really know what the cold and poisonous palm technique means?

Mu Yao also laughed: "I'm just talking casually."

With the last ingredients in place, it's finally time to make the hydrosol.

Mu Yao made the hydrosol at the tea brewing place on the second floor of the teahouse. She first washed the verbena three times with clear spring water, and she washed it carefully.Her hair was tied casually with Gebu, her starry eyes were lowered, and a faint fragrance lingered around her.Sikong Zhaixing suddenly felt that his gaze had nowhere to settle.

The next step is to use a bamboo dustpan to filter out the washed verbena. Flipping your wrist, the bamboo dustpan shakes up and down, and the verbena also dances up and down.Mu Yao did it steadily, not a single grass fell outside.This is her old profession.

After all this is done, put a ceramic bowl in the middle of the pot, put the washed verbena around the bowl, and pour the pure spring water that has settled into the pot. The amount of water is calculated by Muyao, of course it has not been passed middle bowl.Finally, put the lid back on and heat it up.

The lid on the pot is specially made, with a concave hemispherical shape on the top, and Mu Yao filled the inside with ice cubes from Sikong Zhaixing, and these ice cubes will act as condensation.Below the cover is a protruding hemisphere, and a small hemisphere is arched in the middle, and there is a small spire at the top of the small hemisphere.In this way, the water vapor condenses after meeting the lid, flows along the arc all the way to the small spire, and finally just drips into the bowl placed in the middle. , After putting the ice cubes into the lid of the pot, Mu Yao felt that there was no problem, so he started to cook on high heat.

What Muyao used was the original tea-making stove left here, which is just right for making pure dew.

Mu Yao's posture is elegant and beautiful when doing these things, with a charm in it.These actions were actually designed for her by someone hired by the company. At first, she thought it was a bit too contrived and there were too many redundant actions, but she got used to it after doing too much. Now that there is no camera nearby to shoot, she subconsciously Made it out.

It was the first time for Sikong Zhaixing to come into contact with this, so naturally he didn't know that some movements were actually superfluous, he just found it pleasing to the eye.The blue-purple petals slipped between the woman's white and tender fingers. Compared with the radiance of the first day, she now looks more fresh and natural-in fact, she has removed her makeup.

Sikong Zhaixing thought, Lu Xiaofeng usually likes to show off how many confidante he has, how many very beautiful female friends he has, this guy's attitude is really disgusting.Sikong Zhaixing thinks that Muyao is prettier than all of them... um...at least the skin is better than all of them.When he sees Lu Xiaofeng next time, he has to show it off.Hey, I, Sikong Zhaixing, can also have a confidante!He couldn't help showing a smug smile...

I have to say that Sikong Zhaixing is really a cute and interesting person.

As time passed, the water vapor full of verbena nutrients was condensed into pure dew under the action of ice cubes, and it was drawn along the special lid and finally dripped into the empty bowl in the middle of the pot.

Because the pot was not transparent, Mu Yao couldn't see what was inside. She was a little nervous and gradually became fidgety.After Sikong Zhaixing found out, he started talking to her, telling her interesting things in the world, and Mu Yao was soon amused and laughed.At the same time, her mood also improved. It's okay to fail this time, just find a way to improve.

Are you curious about Jianghu?Curious of course.In fact, she could also beg Sikong Zhaixing to take her through the rivers and lakes.But the problem is that the ideal is the ideal, what to do with the money spent in the middle?She must buy clothes or something, what to do with the money?What should I do after the wandering is over?You can't always rely on others.

So, stabilize first, earn a lot of money, and then look at how to fix it next.

Mu Yao's thoughts were very clear.

Finally, the time is almost up.

Mu Yao prepared to pick up the lid with excitement.

"Ah." Because she was too excited and forgot that the lid was very hot, she got burned.

It stands to reason that at this time, the hero should quickly hold the heroine in his arms and help her blow her fingers and other ambiguous plots, but the next second, Mu Yao put the burned finger in his mouth, and said clearly : "Father is hot to death."

Sikong Zhaixing: "...uh."

Sikong Zhaixing suddenly felt that he didn't know what to do, so he went to help Muyao lift the lid, and saw that the empty bowl in the middle was now filled with two-thirds of the transparent liquid.

Mu Yao leaned over to look, and saw the unique bitter herbal fragrance of verbena. The water in the pot was down to the bottom, and the clear liquid in the bowl... Verbena hydrosol, it was a success!
