Chapter 506 The cannon-fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination essay (28)
Thinking about this, Xu Yin turned around and asked the two maids: "Can you trust me?"
“Slave, I believe you, girl!” the two maids said in unison without any hesitation.
"Okay, Ziyuan, you come in first, through this opening, yes! Get closer to 'Ruixiang', and smell them when you get close, how do you feel?"
Zi Yuan said truthfully: "It's refreshing and cool. It feels like a mint candy that the girl gave to the slave before."
“What about other feelings?”
“Other things...make the slave very energetic, just like when she first woke up in the morning...”
“Okay, you go to ‘Jixiang’ now.”
Zi Yuan approached the ink flower and said for a long time: "Hey, girl, I'm still fine until now, and I haven't become stupid!"
“Pfft…” Xu Yin laughed, “So my guess is right, the ice and snow white flower ‘Ruixiang’ is the nemesis of the ink flower ‘Auspicious’.”
“Hong Qian, you are coming in too. You go to the ‘Jixiang’ side first.”
Xu Yin asked Hong Qian to smell the ink flowers first. Once hallucinogenic symptoms appeared, she asked Zi Yuan to help her quickly to "Ruixiang".
Sure enough, Hong Qian, who was dancing happily on the spot, was pulled by Zi Yuan to the white flowers of ice and snow. After smelling the cool mint fragrance emitted by 'Ruixiang' for a while, Hong Qian gradually regained consciousness.
“So, this ice-white flower can cure the stupid disease caused by the black flower?” The two maids were even more excited than Xu Yin.
Xu Yin saw the two of them excited and laughed: That's great! Self-defense fragrance and antidote are available.
She asked Zi Yuan to call Xu Kui and surround the breeding base with a high wooden fence as soon as possible.
Plant a circle of eryngium flowers and a circle of pepper trees on the outside for double protection. After that, two dogs will be raised to keep the working villagers away from the area to avoid accidental injury.
In addition to "Jixiang" and "Ruixiang", "Yueyin" and "Xingkui", which were bred a few months later, have also grown buds in the past few days. After they bloom, I am not sure if they have any other effects besides ornamental, or It's better to be careful.
Through publicity, people not only in Xujia Village but also in several nearby villages know that in the Xu Clan Mountain, there is a mountain where the inky black flowers blooming on the top of the mountain can make people stupid.
A villager in Xujia Village fell into the trap. He yelled a lot of private things between husband and wife, and when he woke up, his wife beat him up with a mallet.
In this case, who would dare to secretly look at Xiqi, just in case he gets tricked?
Since then, Xu Yin has been staying in another courtyard, experimenting with self-defense fragrances.
At the same time, Xu Kui went to Liulifang and ordered a set of mini distillation equipment. If it was not pollen that caused hallucinations but the fragrance of flowers, then a separate distillation equipment would be needed to extract essential oils and then mix them into perfume.
By the way, I also customized a small glass sprayer.
This atomizer is of course also suitable for ordinary perfume.
She plans to launch two types of perfume packaging in the future: one is a traditional glass bottle, which is elegant and beautiful in shape and can be kept for collection after using up the perfume; the other is a spray glass bottle, which is simple and practical.
Time passed day by day as she devoted herself to creating self-defense fragrance.
Summer is over and autumn is here, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will soon be ushered in.
Xu Yin finally made a self-defense perfume that can make people hallucinate instantly and make people do some silly things.
She does not plan to sell these two fragrances for the time being.
Firstly, the original intention of developing the self-defense fragrance was to protect herself and the people around her; secondly, after selling it, if it was used by criminals, the consequences would be disastrous.
Not to mention that the cultivation cycle of these two flowers is too long. The results can only be obtained by using Linglu water and Taoyuanxing soil top dressing in one year.
In general, the cost of mass production is too high.
Xu Yin picked out the "auspicious" flower seeds of the ink flowers without falling to the ground, packed them in sealed bags, and labeled them.
Half of the flower seeds of the snow-white flower "Ruixiang" should be kept sealed and stored together with the "Jixiang" flower seeds. The rest should be taken out and planted in a dedicated area of soil.
Wouldn’t there be a market for the spices that can make people’s souls clear and bright, and sell them to those scholars?
The "auspicious" flowers and leaves were uprooted and burned after completing the fragrance experiment.
The ashes are buried in the soil, and then a handful of "highly degradable flower" flower seeds are sprinkled to remove toxin residues in the soil and enrich the soil, so that other unknown flowers can be cultivated next year.
After finishing these things in an orderly manner, Xu Yin went back to Xu Mansion to celebrate the festival.
It is not the filial piety period, so it is not possible to decorate the house with lanterns and colorful decorations like other people's houses, but it is still possible to taste plain mooncakes and admire the moon at night.
While admiring the moon, I heard the old housekeeper talk about a fellow countryman of his who was on duty at the Lin Mansion two streets away:
“I met him recently, and he looked really bad. It was said that there was a lot of unrest in their house recently, and there was a sworn enemy who had a grudge against their master, and he said he wanted to hire him..."
The housekeeper instantly realized that the words "flower picker thief" were not appropriate to say in front of his girl.
So he changed his excuse: "In short, we have to hire evil people in the world to kidnap the mistress of their house. This will make the whole house panic. At night, how can anyone dare to fall asleep, especially the current one, the guardian?" Looking at the master's yard, I wish I could keep out even a male mosquito, lest I accidentally make a mistake. In the long run, will my complexion be good? "
The reason why I mentioned this was mainly because the old housekeeper regretted letting the girl go back home.
What if the flower-picking thief did not go to Lin Mansion but came to Xu Mansion, and the girl happened to be in the house again?
But when he met a fellow countryman and learned about Lin's mansion, the girl's carriage had already arrived outside the house. He couldn't let the girl turn around and go back, right?
“Lin Mansion? Is this the Lin Mansion that runs the Silk Village?” Xu Yin asked.
"Exactly!" The old housekeeper summoned up his energy and replied, "When the old man was still alive, the two families moved around frequently, and Old Mrs. Lin often came to the old Mr. Lin to drink tea and play chess. Later, Mr. Lin was no longer here, and the two families kept in touch. It’s only now that there are fewer people. However, regarding the matter of Master and Madam, it was Mr. Lin who came to pay homage in person."
Xu Yin nodded after hearing this. In that case, she didn't mind helping the female family members of the Lin family.
She took out ten sets of “phantom” and “broken” sets of self-defense fragrance mini-packs. The normal amount can be used about three times. Attached is a detailed instruction manual, placed in a brocade box, and asked the old housekeeper to go to Lin Mansion tomorrow.
“Remember, you must give it to Mr. or Mrs. Lin in person.”
Although the butler didn't know the reason, he was very capable of executing it. At noon the next day, he delivered the brocade box to Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin thought it was a mid-autumn gift, so he immediately asked his servants to prepare a generous gift for Butler Xu to take back.
After Butler Xu left, he opened the gift box and saw small and exquisite liquids in glass bottles, neatly arranged in two rows in the gift box. The glass bottles in the upper row were white, and the glass bottles in the lower row were black. of.
What is this?
In addition to twenty small glazed bottles, there is also a letter in the brocade box.
Happy National Day everyone~
