Travel back to ancient times to be a beautician

Chapter 93 Perfumes and essential oils

"What?" Aso was stunned, Sunan even said two things, none of which he had heard of.

It’s right if you haven’t heard of it, but it’s weird if you’ve heard of it.The corner of Sunan's mouth curled into a smile, and the corners of his eyes curved into crescents. "Perfume...essential oil...what is it?" With question marks all over his face, Aso asked doubtfully, "Can essential oil... be eaten?"

Well, Sunan is a little speechless, this is not edible, but this thing is more important than food.

The existing rich processing materials in the workshop are in late autumn, and autumn oranges are in abundance. It is a seasonal fruit and the price is cheap. Like persimmons, almost every household will have some prepared.Sunan thought the orange smelled good before, so he bought a lot of fresh orange peels from a preserved fruit shop.Because orange peel smells good, Sunan began to extract some and add it to cosmetics.

If there are flowers that can still be found in this season, there are no more than sweet-scented osmanthus and a few varieties of roses.Sunan thought about it, and finally chose two - orange peel and rose flower.

Among the raw materials outside, there is a basket of fresh orange peels, and the quality of the rose flowers can barely be considered fresh.Essential oils can be obtained from both sources, but in completely different ways.

Sunan called two guys in to help him squeeze a basket of fresh orange peels into juice. The two looked at each other, but they still obeyed Sunan's order and moved their hands.

As for himself, he took off all the petals of the rose flowers, put them full in the still, and heated them up.

Aso was also a little curious about what Sunan was doing. Seeing that Sunan was busy, he hurried over to help, and asked suspiciously, "Sir, what are you doing?" Sunan was busy and explained to him when he had time: I am refining essential oils and toilet water now."

It may be difficult to get good results just by dieting and exercising, and the sudden weight loss is too aggressive, and the skin on the body will become ugly, loose and in poor condition.

When Sunan used to be a beautician, she got a prescription, that is, fat burning ointment. Apply the ointment on the skin, and then use specific massage techniques. After a long time of trying, she can lose weight and shape to a large extent. shape.

If this fat burning cream is in the future, the raw materials are naturally nothing, but in this ancient time, many things have to be found by oneself, and Sunan can only try to use some similar things instead, the effect will definitely be affected, but always better than nothing.

Among them is a citrus essential oil. Sunan can only try to extract it from autumn oranges, but I don't know how the effect will be. Although it is not as good as the original version, the effect should be good.

For flowers such as roses, essential oils and floral dew can be extracted by distillation.Such as citrus essential oils, the extrusion method is used to extract the essential oil components in the sebum, and then the essential oil is obtained by separation and other methods.

The speeds of the two are almost the same. It didn't take long for the two men to squeeze out the citrus sebum. The somewhat cloudy, slightly orange-yellow liquid was placed in a container, waiting for it to separate and settle.

As for the rose flower, as the container was heated, the water droplets at the mouth of the copper tube gradually increased, and fell into the container below, gradually adding some liquid, which is the rose flower dew.The color of the flower dew is transparent, slightly white and turbid, which has little effect, and there is a layer of light yellow oil floating on the surface.

He carefully took a part of the distilled liquid inside, poured it from the inlet of the separator, and then opened the lower outlet to separate the floral dew and essential oil little by little.The flower dew at the bottom fell into the container that had been prepared. Seeing that it was about to reach the bottom, I scooped in a new distilled liquid, and then repeated this action. After several times, a lot of essential oil was stored in the separator.

Sunan carefully collected these essential oils. It takes such a small bottle for a jar of rose flowers. This can be said to be the essence.

Aso pointed to the remaining large bowl of floral dew, and asked, "Mr. Su, are these things useless?" There was some pity in the words, the water smelled good, so it was a pity to throw it away like this.

"Of course not." Sunan hurriedly stopped him, how could he be such a prodigal?He walked in, picked up one of the bowls, and before he got close, a strong fragrance came from it, and Sunan smiled.

This flower dew is also a good thing, and it's not bad to use it to rub your face.Touching his chin, Aso looked at the thing in Sunan's hand and suddenly realized: "Mr. Su, is this the perfume you mentioned?"

Huh?It's really not, it's just the floral dew left over from the ordinary extraction of essential oils.He looked at the floral dew in his hand thoughtfully, isn't this floral dew just a simple perfume?

His eyes lit up, this aroma plus other spices, blended with each other, isn't it a perfume?

Sunan became interested, and immediately did what he said, and immediately searched for several special spices in the workshop according to his memory, some in powder form and some in balm form. Sunan took a small spoon and a basin of water, Picked some out and put them in a small saucer for flavoring.

Aso stood by the side, not daring to disturb Sunan. After about another incense stick, Sunan stopped what he was doing. The things in the small dish looked bad, and it was a viscous white liquid. He dipped it in After a while, let Aso come over and smell it.

"How is it, does it smell good?" Although Sunan asked, there was a look of complacency in his eyes, obviously very confident in his craftsmanship.

"It smells good!" Aso replied decisively, and took a deep breath through his nose, greedy for this fragrance, lingering on it.This aroma is very special, different from the usual incense, this aroma is rich, sweet and strong, like a scene of flowers blooming in spring.

"It... seems to smell of rose flowers in here." Aso replied hesitantly, he watched Sunan mix the rose flower water into it, and it is not surprising that there is a rose scent in it.But the fragrance is not limited to this, and it also has other fragrances, which are mixed together, and there is an indescribable refreshing feeling, and the mind is clear.

Seeing Aso's appearance, Sunan felt happy in his heart.The appearance of this perfume does not look very good, but the effect is good.And it was very different from the usual incense. He had a hunch that this kind of thing would be very popular.

Then he spent a while to extract the essential oil from the citrus peel juice, and after working for half a day, he got such a small bottle of essential oil.Holding two bottles of essential oil with emotion, thinking that the labor cost of this thing is really high, if you don’t sell a bottle for 40 taels, it would be too bad.

Sunan thought about the cost of this thing, and he could make a few more distillers. If it is really mass-produced in the future, one will definitely not be enough.So he ordered: "This distiller can make a few more." There is not enough space in the old workshop, so let's put it in the new workshop. As for the perfume, I have to go back and study it.

In fact, the operation methods of these two things are very simple. The difficulty should be in the manufacturing process. Sunan probably figured out the essential oils to be used in the future, and asked the purchasers in the workshop to buy more fresh flowers for making essential oils.

Sunan, on the other hand, returned to Shiwai Pavilion, wrote a sheet full of materials, asked the servants to go shopping, and then fiddled in the room for a long time, and finally made a crude fat burning cream.

Shochiku wanted to complain about the name of this thing, so he took some secretly and touched it in his hand, full of doubts in his heart: "This thing, can you really lose weight if you put it on your body?" Although he always trusted Sunan's skills, he heard When I saw that this thing could help lose weight, I didn't believe it.

"Of course it's impossible to just wipe it on." Sunan smiled and picked up his hand and helped him spread it evenly on his hand. The force was a bit strong, and Shochiku yelled in pain: "It hurts, Mr. Su lighter."

Looking at my hands again, I just touched the place where the fat burning ointment was, and it was burning and painful. "It's right if it hurts. If it hurts, it means it's working." Sunan said casually, "Be prepared, I want to go to Yinggefang?"

Yinggefang?Songzhu was puzzled, why did he go to Yinggefang?Although he was puzzled, he still listened to Sunan's orders without complaint, went outside the shop to prepare horses, and acted as a coachman himself, driving the carriage to Yinggefang.

Although he hadn't been to Yinggefang for several months, Sunan was still a little dazed when he stepped in here.The light gauze spreads in the workshop, the floor is covered with soft wool carpets, the workshop seems to have been repainted, the room is full of magnificence, the bead curtains hang down, and the stage is high.Everything was somewhat similar to what Sunan had seen before, but different.

When I came to Gongsun Shiniang's room, fortunately nothing changed.Ten Niang has a graceful body, and Sunan came to look for her early in the morning, exhausted, lying on the table, with a lot of amorous feelings left in his brows, he glanced at Sunan lightly, gave a hache, and said with tears in his eyes: "Speaking of which, what are you looking for again?"

Shi Niang slandered in her heart, although she didn't know why Sunan was looking for her, but after what happened before, she knew that there must be no good things, maybe she was asked to do free labor again.

Sure enough, Sunan smiled flatteringly, stepped forward and sat down: "Shi Niang, let me borrow a few from you."
