Fang was carried back to his home by Li Yi's men. When he was carried away, he kept muttering "good wine". Li Yi clearly noticed that the two men's eyes lit up when they smelled the wine on Fang.
At that time, Li Yi mocked Fang a little in his heart, but it didn't take long for him to regret it.
He really shouldn't have tricked Fang into drinking the wine. That was a high concentration of more than 75% alcohol. If he didn't sleep until tomorrow morning, it was estimated that Fang wouldn't wake up.
If he didn't wake up, Li Yi would have to do the next work alone.
Bezoar, peppermint, honeysuckle, spices … Grind all of these things into powder, then put the distilled alcohol in a porcelain bottle and mixed it with the ground powder. Then, shake the porcelain bottle continuously to ensure that they were mixed well …
Both bezoar and honeysuckle had the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. The function of mint was mainly used to repel mosquitoes. As for those spices, of course, it was to make the scent of the floral water smell better …
This was a simple preparation method of floral water that Li Yi found in the book. In terms of effect, it was certainly not comparable to the big brands such as "Liushen" or "Longliqi" in the future, but Li Yi's requirements were not high, as long as the mosquito repellent effect was okay.
According to the book, the concentration of 75% alcohol was mixed with powdered bezoar, honeysuckle, peppermint, and so on, and then kept shaking for half an hour. After they were fully mixed, the residue was filtered out, and the simple floral water was successfully prepared.
Thus, when the servant girl came to the kitchen, she saw the son-in-law holding a porcelain bottle in his hand. He looked as if he was possessed, shaking it back and forth …
"Son-In-Law, you, what's wrong with you …" The little maid ran over in a hurry and looked at Li Yi with eyes full of worry.
If the son-in-law was really possessed, what could he do?!
Even an iron man would not be able to withstand such a long period of shaking. Just as Li Yi was feeling a little dizzy and nauseous, Xiao Huan's figure appeared at the right time.
"Xiao Huan, come here quickly and help me shake this bottle."
With Xiao Huan's help, he could finally rest for a while. Li Yi looked at the little maid who stood there shaking the porcelain bottle stupidly and did not know what had happened. He thought to himself that when he prepared the Floral Dew on a large scale in the future, he had to think of a reliable way to ensure that they were fully integrated. It was not a long-term solution to hold the bottle and shake it every time …
The two of them took turns, and after about half an hour, Li Yi estimated that it was about time.
He pulled out the cork and passed the liquid inside the bottle through a piece of clean gauze to remove the undissolved residue. After the filtration, a translucent liquid was obtained.
At the same time, a familiar fragrance began to fill the room.
"Young Master, what is this? It smells so good!" The young maidservant widened her eyes and looked at Li Yi in surprise.
"It seems that there are a little too many spices. Next time, reduce the amount by one-third." Li Yi murmured and put the first successfully prepared Floral Dew in a new porcelain bottle.
The first preparation of Floral Dew was relatively successful. Although there were inevitably some flaws, as long as he did a few more experiments, he would always be able to find the most suitable formula.
Li Yi could not wait to experiment with the efficacy of the Floral Dew he prepared.
"Xiao Huan, hurry up and boil water. I want to take a bath later!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
The young maidservant looked at the strange thing in the kitchen with some doubts and looked at the back of Li Yi who left with some joy. Her heart was full of curiosity.
What did the son-in-law come up with this time?
…
…
He poured some Floral Dew into the bathtub and took a comfortable hot bath. He immediately felt refreshed and his body exuded a faint fragrance.
In order to verify the mosquito repellent effect, Li Yi stayed in the corner of the room with the most mosquitoes for a while. The mosquitoes that were willing to be intimate with him were really much less than before.
"Success!"
Seeing the mosquito repellent effect of Floral Dew, Li Yi's face showed joy. This showed that the method of using Floral Dew to repel mosquitoes was feasible. Next time, he could add more mosquito repellent herbs like peppermint to get Floral Dew with a stronger mosquito repellent effect.
Similarly, if he modified the formula and thought more about the spices, wouldn't the end result be perfume?
This was simply killing two birds with one stone.
However, for the promotion of Floral Dew and perfume in this world, Li Yi still did not have much confidence in his heart at this time.
In the past, he had read many time-travel novels. The protagonists invented various modern items in the ancient world with knowledge that was hundreds and thousands of years ahead of the ancients. They were very popular with the ancients. They counted money until their hands cramped. They had beautiful wives and concubines, big houses, groups of servants, and lived a luxurious and extravagant life …
However, Li Yi, who had real experience, deeply understood that reality was far more painful than ideals. Some things were very simple to think about, but when it was really realized, all kinds of difficulties would come one after another.
What he needed to do now was to improve the alcohol purification device as much as possible. If the efficiency of each distillation was as low as the first time, it would never work.
In addition, he also needed to build a separate processing workshop. After all, he couldn't always do it in his own kitchen.
Moreover, after the scale of production was expanded, the small space in the kitchen was far from meeting the requirements.
Fortunately, Li Yi still needed some time to improve the distillation equipment and improve the formula. The construction of the workshop was not so urgent.
What's more, the location of the workshop, how to build it, and how to operate it after it was built had to be decided after careful consideration.
Of course, Li Yi couldn't do these things alone. Therefore, he asked Fang and the others to get out of the candied haws business as soon as possible. Just by selling a few sticks of candied haws, Fang's dream of marrying a concubine and buying a village would probably only be realized in his next life.
Li Yi felt that he was born to work hard.
He was living a good life as the husband of the village. He had food, drinks, and maids to serve him every day. His life was extremely comfortable. However, he had to look for trouble and lead Fang and the others to a well-off life. He obviously yearned for a pig's life, but in the end, he was as tired as a dog. This was all his own doing …
When he walked out of the room, he saw the little maid sitting in the yard. She pouted and kept scratching the mosquito bite on her arm.
Hearing the son-in-law calling her from a distance at the door, the girl hurriedly stood up, turned her head and asked, "Son-In-Law, what's the matter?"
"Come here, come here …"
He waved to the little maid and brought her into the room. He poured some floral water on his hand and wiped it on the mosquito bite on her arm. He asked, "How do you feel? Is it still itchy?"
"No … it's not itchy anymore …"
The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room through the window. The little maid rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms. She lowered her head and spoke softly. Her pretty face was rosy and beautiful.
