Wang Anran turned around and said, "This matter must be done with wild flowers, only wild flowers are fragrant!"

Tubao looked cute and looked up and asked Feng, "Madam, why did you say you wanted to marry a wife when you heard that the young master wanted to pick wild flowers?" She was very puzzled, does the wild flowers have anything to do with his wife?

Feng exclaimed, pointed at the forehead with his fingers, and said, "Who made you so young? Your family flower is still a bone and has no fragrance. I have to feed you in vain!" He was still worried in his heart that his son had picked some wild flowers, and he had never seen that he was romantic before!

Tubao felt aggrieved and whispered: "Why did I get married and flowers? Then I'm not the same as the flowers in the yard!" She pointed to the beautiful flowers planted by Feng in the yard.

Wang Anran was whipping and ran very fast. Fortunately, he rode a horse a lot these days and his riding skills increased greatly. Otherwise, if he ran and got stuck like this, he would have to fall off and then fall out of his body.

When he ran to the wasteland, he jumped off his horse and immediately started to pull out the flowers. Not long after, he picked a large push of lavender and tied the flowers into bundles on the horse. He was afraid that he would not pick enough, so he picked another large bundle, and the two bundles were added in thirty or forty kilograms, so he stopped and rode back home again.

He ran fast halfway, and the villagers in the vineyard saw him, all of whom were surprised and thought that the bell had sneaked into the wall, so Wang Anran ran back and forth like this. It was obvious that he had not recruited his subordinates, so he knew that there were no robbers. The villagers discussed a few words and then gave up.

After returning home, Wang Anran asked Tubao to get the charcoal from home and ask for the best charcoal.

Tubao was told by Feng and was still aggrieved. She said, "There is only one kind of charcoal at home, and there is no good one. Can firewood be used?"

"Please take whatever charcoal you have, but just charcoal, don't have firewood," said Wang Anran.

Feng Shiqi said: "Anran, you really went to pick wild flowers? I thought you were looking for... to find that kind of wild flowers?"

Wang Anran smiled and said, "What kind of wild flowers is that kind? Okay, mom, go find a few big bowls and bring another bucket of cold water. Forget it, I'll go!"

Tubao brought the charcoal, Feng found the big bowl, and Wang Anran also brought the cold water in, and all preparations were ready.

Wang Anran said: "Bunbao, go and close the yard gate and stand there and watch. If someone knocks on the door, you will say that my mother and I are not here, so he will come back tonight if he has something to do. Do you understand?"

Tubao nodded sensibly, turned around to close the gate, but came back halfway through, and asked, "I don't want to tell me if it's okay tonight, I'm afraid that they will come when they are having dinner, so I won't have enough food."

Feng said angrily: "You stupid girl, you know how to eat!"

Tubao grinned and was about to cry: "I'm not a fool, nor do I just know how to eat..."

"What else do you know?"

"I still know how to drink..."

Seeing that she was about to cry, Feng had to say, "Good bunny, I'll make delicious food for you tonight. Now go and see the door!"

Then Tubao agreed and went to see the door.

Wang Anran put the charcoal into the heating furnace at the bottom of the still. The small furnace was not big, but the heat was enough. He picked the lavender flowers, put them into the evaporation bottle, and added water to the cold water bottle. Then he ignited the charcoal and started the experiment.

In the extraction method of essential oils, this is called distillation. This method is simple to operate and has low cost, so it is the most commonly used method. In modern times, about 90% of essential oils are extracted by distillation.

The principle of making lavender essential oil by distillation is to put fresh or dry ones. In short, put the lavender into a distiller, heat it down, feed steam, and use steam to evaporate the essential oil contained in the lavender.

After the water vapor containing essential oil is collected and cooled through a conduit, it will condense into a liquid and is separated due to differences in the specific gravity and density of water and essential oil.

The method is very simple and it is not difficult to operate. If it is placed in modern times and students can do it in the laboratory, it will be no problem to let Wang Anran do it.

Another advantage of using distillation is that during the cooling process, the circulating water can be used multiple times, and some essential oils remain in the remaining water. This is the so-called flower water, and there is a nice name called pure dew. Just listening to the name of pure dew, you will know that this water alone can be sold at a good price.

The distiller designed by Wang Anran is the most primitive. Of course, it cannot be made in the past without primitiveness. The original efficiency is naturally lower and can only be used in handicraft workshops of family nature. But this is enough. At the beginning of extraction, it can only be considered experimental and cannot be produced in batches.

Charcoal was burning, and Wang Anran was nervous. Although he had done this kind of experiment many times, this was the first time in ancient times. He used porcelain and could not see the situation inside. He thought he could not be nervous.

Feng looked at it strangely and said, "An Ran, what are you doing? Is the flowers cooked or stewed? Can the dishes cooked delicious?" During this period, I watched my son cook, so I naturally thought that this was another new way of cooking, but the ingredients were very strange, and it was wild flowers.

Wang Anran said: "It's not cooking, it's cooking... Well, I'm boiling medicine. I can make a kind of fragrant medicine. This kind of fragrant medicine has many uses, such as headaches, insomnia, burns, joint pain, and scars. "

After thinking about it, he suddenly said, "Mom, let's not talk about it in the countryside. When you went to the city, you saw the big girls and wives passing by the streets. Did you notice that they had acne on their faces? They were the kind of red acne?"

Feng nodded and said, "Yes, many people have them, not only big girls and little wives, but also many men have them. When my mother was young, she also had red acne. When she was in Chang'an, the doctor called this acne, but it was difficult to cure it. I heard that even the imperial doctors couldn't cure this."

Wang Anran said: "Yes, it is also called acne, which is quite difficult to cure, but today I extract it. Well, the fragrant medicine I boiled can cure this and eliminate traces left by acne. By the way, this fragrant medicine can also remove insects and cure sunburn. I guess the rich people will definitely like to use this, and our family is just around the corner."

After hearing his son say that incense medicine has so many effects, Feng said in surprise: "This medicine can cure all diseases. Isn't this Dali Pill?"

There are Dali Pills these days! Wang Anran was stunned. He remembered the past when he refined Dali Liquid. That thing was too dangerous.

As he spoke, the outlet of the essential oil began to drip slowly, ticking, first dripping down one by one, then gradually the water began to increase, and all flowed into the big bowl below.

Feng pointed to the big bowl and said, "The water is out of the way. This is not the medicine juice, the color of the medicine juice is gone!"

Wang Anran stared at the big bowl and thought to himself: "It's done, it's done, it's finally done! The vast number of women and masses of the Great Zhou Dynasty are about to cheer for me!"

As the essential oils and pure dews became more and more intense, the aroma became stronger and stronger. After a while, the room was filled with fragrance. The aroma floated outside the house and the yard began to smell.

Tubao ran in and shouted, "What delicious food is it? It's so delicious!"

Wang Anran turned his head and said, "I didn't cook anything. I'll cook it later. Go and see the gate. Be a good maid so that you can eat more at night!"

Sure enough, when Tubao heard that he could eat more, he immediately turned around and ran back to the gate and went to do his duty.

After a while, water was no longer dripping at the outlet of the tube, and the large bottle of lavender was extracted.

Wang Anran took another bowl. He didn't have a straw or something, so he could only pour it into another bowl. Only the puree was left in the original bowl.

Feng looked at her son's careful movements, and she became nervous for no reason and said, "That's all? Has the fragrance medicine been boiled?"

Wang Anran nodded and said, "It's OK. The method can be improved further, but from the perspective of experiments, the extraction has been successful!"

"Son, what are you saying? Why don't you understand? Are you talking about the language of Heaven? Did our Feng family's ancestors teach you?" Feng family had an almost paranoid insistence on blessing whose ancestors.

Wang Anran said: "Yes, it's from the Feng family's ancestors. Mother, you can put out the fire and don't need to heat it up again."

Feng quickly agreed and put out the charcoal fire.

Looking at the essential oil in the bowl, Wang Anran thought to himself: "The amount is too small. If it is bottled, it will be the bottom of the bottle. This thing evaporates quickly. It seems that I have to let Hu Qiaoshou burn a batch of small bottles out to make the bottle more delicate."

The things I made for the first time can only be considered as test products, and it is difficult to achieve the expected results. Wang Anran felt that the process needed to be improved, so he simply stopped it. He poured the essential oil back into the pure dew and said, "Mom, sprinkle this fragrant medicine on the quilt and sprinkle it on the pillow, which can prevent insects and also smell the body. It is an absolute good thing."

Feng took the bowl and said, "I think this thing is used to smoke the house. It smells so fragrant. It smells better than the sandalwood in the temple. By the way, when there is a temple fair next time, when we go to the temple, we can give some to the Zen masters in the temple, so that they can also use this to prevent insects. Otherwise, mosquitoes and other things will bite them, and they will not be beaten, and they will be bitten to the point of being bitten!" After that, he took the bowl and sprinkled the house.

Wang Anran exclaimed. He had always wanted to sell lavender essential oil to a noble lady, but he didn't know how to open the market. But now Feng reminded him in one sentence that if he wanted to open up a noble lady, he didn't have to know a noble lady. You can get to know a monk first!

Logically speaking, monks and noble ladies are absolutely unable to get along with each other, but they can get along with each other in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The noble ladies of the Great Zhou Dynasty like to get along with monks, and even the queen of the current dynasty Wu Zetian raised monks.

Although ordinary people will not get entangled with monks like women of royal nobles, it is common to go to the temple to worship Buddha and ask for blessings. Through monks, it is possible that the noble lady community in Liangzhou can really accept lavender essential oil!

Suddenly, Wang Anran thought that he had lied to Madam Xiao and said that he was a monk who practiced with hair. He actually made a promise that he really wanted to go to the temple.
