Chapter 19 Secrets
Yang also nodded, "Yes, your aunt knows that you two don't have any little girls yet, so she specially found someone to choose someone for you. She will continue to serve you from now on, and even be a dowry. You must choose the right one."
Zilan turned his head and showed a sweet and soft smile at Xu, "Thank you, my aunt. I have been trying hard for me since I came here, so I have made my grandmother worry about me. When Lan'er makes a fragrance, I will make fragrance for you, and everyone will be fragrant."
Everyone laughed and Xu smiled and said, "Okay, we're waiting, you can't scalpers."
"No, I keep my word."
Zi Lan tilted her head, and her big eyes seemed to carry a bright light in the blink of an eye, which looked very cute and lively.
Yang looked at her daughter in anger, "She didn't know how long it took to learn to incense, and she was just talking."
“I will learn it soon.”
Zi Lan stood on the soft couch with dissatisfaction, holding her little head with her hands on her hips, looking domineering and soft.
"You can."
Yang snorted.
The atmosphere in the room was warm and lively. With two girls making noise in the room, the old lady smiled a little more.
Everyone was asleep at night, and Zilan opened her eyes and looked around. She was sure that the old lady and Shuhui were asleep. Then she closed her eyes and calmed down and put her consciousness into the space.
A shadow fell into the grass, glanced at it privately, nodded slightly, "Fortunately, everything is still there, and there is no loss of much."
This space is a space of consciousness. People cannot enter, so they can only invest their own consciousness. After a long time, the soul will be nourished. She has been in this space for many years. Her soul body is well maintained. She has also planted a lot of spices, flowers, fragrant trees and other trees in it to be used to make her own spice reserve library.
At first, the soul body could not touch anything, but after slowly exercising, she could work like a human. She used this process for more than three years before her soul body could simply pick up and put it down.
This can also explain why she could travel through Zi Lan's body after an accident in her previous life, and the fusion was very good. Her soul body was very strong. Zi Lan was already out of breath at that time, and it was very suitable for her.
Zi Lan's soul body emits a faint golden light. This golden light is a merit. It was accumulated after she made money with incense and helped others after she made money and did good deeds and donated money for many years.
Although she would not use these golden lights of merit, she vaguely felt that if she did not have these merits, she might not be able to travel through time, and she would not be able to find such a suitable body. It happened to be called Zilan. Isn’t this God making up for the kindness of the heart?
Zilan walked slowly in the space to view the space. The space was divided into four directions: southeast, southwest and northwest. Large areas of flowers and plants were planted in the east, while trees in the southeast Asia-tropical areas were planted in the southeast, such as high-quality fragrant woods such as red sandalwood and white sandalwood. These are the main materials for sandalwood and agarwood, and it takes a long time to produce good things.
The rest are planted with tea trees and some wood, which can also be made into high-end furniture and can be sold for money.
Agarwood, chicken tongue fragrance and other spices are produced from the same kind of fragrant wood, which is the agarwood tree, which is the resin condensed by the fragrant tree. Put it in water to sink and become a submerged fragrance. Agarwood, also known as water to sink; if it is half floating and half sinking in water, it becomes a stack of fragrance; if it floats on the water, it is yellow and cooked fragrance.
There are many kinds of fragrant trees. In the early years, Zilan specially went to various places to travel to search for seeds and seedlings of fragrant trees and spices, etc., and purchased a lot of them in the space to plant them.
The time flow rate in space will be faster, but because people cannot enter the space, they can only be put into it, so it does not affect their lifespan.
This continuous undulating tree is full of fragrant wood, some of which have been around for a hundred years. The resin of fragrant wood that has been over a hundred years is more mellow and has the highest quality.
Zi Lan looked around and started working. He went to some small iron buckets from the warehouse, took off the buckets that were already full on the fragrant tree, replaced them with new ones, and continued to store the resin.
Agarwood is generally divided into four categories. This is the raw knot. Use a knife and axe to cut a gap in the incense tree, and then tie it to a small bucket. Resin will flow from the wound. This is the raw knot.
When falling off, it is the fragrance produced by the branches during the decay;
The second is insect leakage, which is easy to understand, which is the fragrance formed by corruption of trees such as insects and bacteria.
Another type is ripe knot, which is the fragrance secreted by the resin after the natural lesions of the fragrant tree is called ripe knot. This kind of tree that does not have in the space, the space quality is very good, and there are no lesions that die.
The incense is the best, and the incense is slightly second, and the incense is also divided into good and bad by color and quality. The incense is the best, and the incense is the best, and the yellow is the second.
The best products include horn sinking, yellow sinking, wax sinking, and leather sinking.
The corners are dark and the texture is warm; while the yellow is yellow and the texture is also warm; the wax is softer and the leather is heavy; the texture is vertical and horizontal, and each has different textures.
Not all these fragrant trees are purchased overseas, some are purchased from Lingnan area. There are many fragrant trees near the sea, and the fragrant trees are connected to each other's branches and stretch for thousands of miles.
In order to collect all these varieties of fragrant wood, she also spent countless time and energy, as well as a lot of money, and it took many years to collect almost the same amount.
After replacing the balm-collecting bucket, I went to the flower field again and collected some petals. These can be used to make fragrance after drying.
There are several methods, one is that it can be extracted by vegetable oil. This is the simplest and most natural method, but the material is required to be dry, otherwise it will be rancid.
Generally, olive oil, sweet almond oil, fractionated coconut oil, and the famous jojoba oil, rice bran oil are very good choices. There are many types of vegetable oils and are used in aromatherapy.
The method of plant extraction is very simple. Soak the flowers and plants with fractionated coconut oil. The material is four-thirds full in the bottle, just flooding the material.
Cover the bottle mouth, let it sit for a month, then filter the residue with gauze. If you want to enhance the aroma, you can extract it repeatedly. The final soaking oil can be used directly for massage and application, or as a base oil, or as a cream or lotion.
The key point is to dry the flowers and plants, otherwise it will cause mold.
Zi Lan still has a lot of time, so she specially set a table to avoid passing time, and doing work in the space will not affect her body.
What we want to extract this time is lavender, jasmine and other flowers and plants, which can be extracted by plant methods.
There is another type of ethanol, which is a lipid absorption method. The process of using ethanol is not complicated, but it is not available for the time being. The lipid absorption method is to absorb the aroma of the stamens by animal oil. The animal oil obtained is rich in rich aroma and can be used for handmade soaps and hand creams.
The animal oil is extracted and introduced into the tray before solidification. After solidification, cut the cross edge and try to be as fine as possible. Then, buckle the side of the petal with the stamen on it, take it off and throw it away after it turns yellow, and extract it repeatedly. It is best to have large petals. Too broken petals are not suitable for this method.
Zilan was busy in the space, extracting sesame oil from several kinds of flowers with vegetable oil, and then he saw that it was still early and left the space to go to bed.
