Chapter 61: Qixiang in hand, between repairs

Shen Mo looked back and saw Yun Hai frowning and gently scratching his wrist.

"I was bitten by mosquitoes," Yunbai Shen Mo looked at her, and said softly: "Tomorrow, I will nail the window lattice with green gauze. When the weather is hot, the mosquitoes will begin to increase."

Shen Mo pulled Yunmai's hand and saw that Yunmai's wrist was like snow-like, and there was a big red envelope.

The summer in Lin'an is coming, there are no air conditioners and mosquitoes! Shen Mo thought helplessly in his heart: I'm afraid this summer is not easy!

By the way! Shen Mo suddenly remembered something in his heart. In this era, there is no mosquito-repellent water!

This is simple! Shen Mo thought about it and did it. He took off his coat and walked straight to the table, then grindled the ink, picked up the pen on the paper and started writing.

At this time, Xiao Fu came in from outside with a basin. The girl's face has not yet regained its redness, but when she saw Shen Mo writing, her little head immediately came over.

"Honeyflower, borneol, oxen, musk, mint... I want to make a drink?" Xiao Fu glitted her big eyes and asked in surprise: "What drink? Is it so weird to use oxen musk?"

The so-called Yinzi is the saying of beverages in the Southern Song Dynasty. At this time, Lin'an did not have much different varieties of various beverages in later generations.

"If you don't understand, don't ask randomly!" Shen Mo smiled and added a corner of "Yu Bing Shao" wine at the end of the pharmacy. Then he handed the paper to Xiao Fu.

"You go and buy this in person, don't hand it over to Uncle Jiang." Shen Mo smiled at the little girl and said, "This is your son-in-law's unique secret recipe. If it is spread, I will only ask you!"

...

After buying the items, Shen Mo officially started making flower dew.

When it comes to making cauliflower, he now has very convenient conditions. Because the beef yeast in later generations has become artificial beef yeast. High-end spices such as musk are even more impossible to add to cauliflower.

What's more, he has the big killer weapon of ambergris?

The only difficulty is that the main ingredient of the flower dew water is high-alcohol, that is, alcohol. The wine in this era is the strongest and can exceed 12 degrees, which is a wine pressed after fermentation with the lees. It is not used in later generations of distillation at all.

However, it is not difficult to distillate alcohol. Shen Mo only needs 75 degrees, and it does not require analysis of pure industrial alcohol.

The Southern Song Dynasty wine was equivalent to the four liters of modern times. That is, because the degree is low, ancient people would always eat a wine with a wine alone. Because the so-called village-brewed white wine is five or six degrees, the alcohol content is basically the same as that of modern beer.

The thing was bought soon, and Shen Mo buckled it on a brand new pot and cooled it down with a wet cloth. He added jade ice to the small pot and then distilled it on the bottom.

Soon, the alcohol condensed on the wall of the pot above, and then flowed down and was taken into a bowl by Shen Mo.

The wine in this pot is the most intense, and the second pot becomes much softer. In other words, as the distillation time goes by, the alcohol content will become lower and lower. So Shen Mo chose the high alcohol that was distilled out at the beginning and quickly took a small bowl.

That is how the name of "Erguotou" comes from later generations. Erguotou refers to wine that is neither too strong nor too soft between Touguo wine and Erguo wine.

Without special distillation equipment, Shen Mo's actions actually caused great waste. However, he didn't care about this little wine at all.

He sealed the alcohol in a porcelain bottle to prevent it from evaporating. Then he used the bad guys to weigh the silver at home. In ancient times, almost every household had this thing, and weighed the medicines one by one.

Then, after mixing these drugs, he grinds the drugs into extremely fine powder with a small stone mill and pours them into distilled alcohol.

After that, after shaking it hard for another four hours, Shen Mo filtered all the residue in the alcohol with a few layers of cotton cloth. The remaining liquid was golden and crystal clear - the first bottle of flower dew in the world was made!

After Shen Mo used a small porcelain bottle to fill the flower dew, he poured it out a little and applied it to the cloud's wrist.

Yunbai suddenly felt a coolness on her skin, and the unbearable itchy feeling on the red envelope bitten by a mosquito on her hand disappeared!

What followed was a quiet and elegant fragrance all over her body. This fragrance immediately made her feel relaxed, and she was simply relaxed and happy!

"Langjun..." Yunbai woke up. It turned out that Shen Mo had been struggling for so long, and for two consecutive hours, he kept shaking the bottle like Parkinson's patient, and consumed these precious medicines. It turned out that it was for the bag on her wrist!

Shen Mo's thoughtful behavior immediately moved Yunpeng! Yunpeng felt a heat surging in his heart, and he felt that he could marry such a young man who knew how to be loved and passionate. He had no regrets in his life!

"It's so fragrant!" Xiao Fu was also looking at the little bottle with his eyes lit up next to him. He felt extremely surprised.

In this era, the rich and nobles also paid attention to incense and burning incense, but they were all fragrances formed by burning elemental spices, which contained a little bit of fireworks. How could there be such a volatile elegant fragrance?

Only Shen Mo knew in his heart that although the flower dew he made this time seemed simple, it was actually very powerful!

Because the best things here are two things: musk and ambergris!

The effects of these two spices are completely opposite. In addition to removing the fragrance of musk, it creates a rapid spread of fragrance.

After the ambergris ages, it not only has a strange fragrance on its own. It also allows the perfume it has a fragrance that is matched for a long time.

Because ambergris evaporates extremely slowly and the fragrance lasts for a long time, it is incomparable to any other spice. There is even a saying in the West that ambergris coexist with the sun and the moon!

Of course, before Yunmai gave birth to a baby, Shen Mo deliberately reduced the proportion of musk use to very low.

However, the combination of these two extremely expensive natural spices makes this strange fragrance far exceeds the level of modern top perfumes, not to mention that they are still in the Southern Song Dynasty!

Yunmaid took the little bottle and when she looked at Shen Mo again, her eyes were filled with little stars!

This was made by her Lu Yunbai's husband for her. Not only did she save her from the pain of mosquito bites, but she also had a scent of fragrance. Even if Yunbai was born in an official family before, she had never heard of such a good thing!

Yunmaid dipped her finger a little, and wiped the little talisman into a fragrant baby. Then she carefully put away the small perfume bottle.

"I have a bag here too..." After Xiao Fu knew the magical effect of Hualu Water, she wanted to do a little more. However, she was about to lift her clothes, but she found that Shen Mo was still in the room, so the little girl stopped quickly.
Chapter completed!
