Chapter 59: Toilet water

Views:

Lao Fang was carried back to his home by Li Yi. When he was carried away, he kept muttering "good wine". Li Yi obviously noticed that the two men smelled the wine on Lao Fang's body Then, his eyes lit up.

At that time, Li Yi still mocked Lao Fang for a while in his heart, but it didn't take long for him to regret it.

I really shouldn't have fooled Lao Fang into drinking those wines just now. It was a high-concentration alcohol of more than 75 percent. If I can't sleep until tomorrow morning, I guess Lao Fang won't be able to wake up.

And if he can't wake up, Li Yi will have to do the rest of the work by himself.

Bezoar, mint, honeysuckle, spices..., grind all these things into powder, then put the distilled alcohol in a porcelain bottle, mix it with the ground powder, and then hold the porcelain bottle and shake it constantly to ensure that they Able to mix well together…

Bezoar and honeysuckle both have heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, which can cool and remove heat. The function of mint is mainly to repel mosquitoes. As for those spices, of course, it makes the toilet water smell better...

This is a simple method of preparing toilet water that Li Yi found in a book. The effect is definitely not as good as that of later generations of big brands such as "Liushen" or "Longliqi", but Li Yi's requirements are not high, as long as mosquitoes are repelled The effect can also be on the line.

According to the book, mix alcohol with a concentration of 75% and ground bezoar, honeysuckle, mint, etc., and then shake it continuously for half an hour. After they are fully mixed, filter out the residue , the simple toilet water is successfully prepared.

So, when the little maid came to the kitchen, what she saw was the uncle holding a porcelain vase in his hand, shaking it like he was in a daze...

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you..." The little maid ran over in a hurry, looking at Li Yi with worried eyes.

If my uncle is really dazed, what should I do!

After shaking for such a long time, even Iron Man couldn't bear it. Just when Li Yi felt a little dizzy and nauseous, Xiaohuan's figure appeared in due course.

"Xiaohuan, come here quickly and help me keep shaking this bottle."

With Xiaohuan's help, he can finally rest for a while. Li Yi looked at the little maid who was standing there foolishly shaking the porcelain bottle. I have to think of a reliable way to ensure that they are fully integrated, and shaking the bottle like this every time is not a long-term solution...

The two of them went into battle alternately, and it took about half an hour like this, and Li Yi estimated that it should be almost the same.

Pull out the cork, and filter the liquid in the bottle through a piece of clean gauze to remove undissolved residue. After filtering, a translucent liquid is obtained.

At the same time, a familiar scent began to permeate the room.

"My lord, what is this? It smells so good!" The little maid asked with her eyes widened, looking at Li Yi in surprise.

"It seems that the spices are a bit too much. Next time, subtract one-third of the amount." Li Yi muttered, and put the toilet water that was successfully prepared for the first time into a new porcelain bottle.

The first time I prepared toilet water, it was relatively successful. Although there were still some flaws, as long as I did a few more experiments, I could always find the most suitable formula.

Li Yi couldn't wait to experiment with the efficacy of the toilet water he prepared.

"Xiaohuan, hurry up and boil the water, I need to take a bath later!"

"Got it, uncle!"

The little maid looked at some weird thing made up of several cauldrons in the kitchen with some doubts, and then looked at the back of Li Yi who was leaving with joy, her heart was full of curiosity.

What kind of things did my uncle come up with this time

I poured some toilet water into the bathtub, took a comfortable soak in a hot bath, and immediately felt refreshed, and my body also 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, and the number of mosquitoes willing to make out with him was really much less than before.

"Successful!"

Seeing the mosquito repelling effect of toilet water, Li Yi showed joy, which shows that the method of using toilet water to repel mosquitoes is feasible. Next time, you can add more mosquito repellent grass like mint to it, and you can get a stronger mosquito repellent effect toilet water.

In the same way, if you modify the formula and use more brains on fragrances, wouldn't you end up with a perfume

This is simply killing two birds with one stone.

However, Li Yi didn't have much confidence in the promotion of toilet water and perfume in this world.

I have read many time-travel novels before. The protagonist, relying on the knowledge hundreds of thousands of years ahead of the ancients, invented various modern items in the ancient world. They were very popular with the ancients. Counting money until the hand cramps, a beautiful wife and concubines, a big house, and a group of servants, Live a life of luxury and lust...

But Li Yi, who has had real experience, deeply understands that the reality is far more skinny than the ideal. Some things are very simple to think about, but when they are actually realized, various difficulties will follow.

What he needs to do now is to improve the alcohol purification device as much as possible. If the efficiency of each distillation is as low as the first time, it will never work.

In addition, a processing workshop needs to be built separately. After all, it cannot be in the kitchen every time.

Moreover, after the scale of production is expanded, such a small space in the kitchen is far from meeting the requirements.

Fortunately, it will take some time for Li Yi to improve the distillation equipment and improve the formula, so the construction of the workshop is not so urgent.

What's more, the location of the workshop, how to build it, and how to operate it after completion are all determined after careful consideration.

Of course, Li Yi couldn't do these things by himself, so he let Lao Fang and the others get out of the candied haws business as soon as possible. Just by selling a few bunches of candied haws, Lao Fang's dream of marrying a concubine and buying a village may have to wait until his next life. accomplish.

Li Yi felt that he was born to be a hard worker.

Yazhai Xianggong is very good, eats, drinks and has maids to serve him every day. Life is extremely comfortable. If he insists on looking for trouble, he takes Lao Fang and the others to run to a well-off society. What he yearns for is a life like a pig, but in the end Like a tired dog, this is all done by myself...

When she walked out of the room, she saw the little maid sitting in the yard, her mouth pouted, and she kept grabbing the bag on her arm that had just been bitten by mosquitoes.

Hearing her uncle calling her at the door from a distance, the girl hurriedly stood up, turned her head and asked, "My uncle, what's the matter?"

"Come here..."

He beckoned to the little maid, brought her into the house, poured some toilet water on her hand, rubbed it on the mosquito bite on her arm, and asked, "How do you feel, is it still itchy?"

"No... it doesn't itch anymore..."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room through the window. The little maid rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white lotus arms, lowered her head and opened her mouth glutinously.
