The lady may not be human

Chapter 285 Have Thoughts About Water Wheels
For several days, Dong Nuan was busy making rose water.

Rose water is different from ordinary spices, because it needs to be layered, and the top notes, middle notes, and base notes need to be highlighted.

Spices can be just a scent that lasts until the end, but not rose water.

Otherwise, it is just the difference between liquid spices and solid spices.

Warm winter needs to slowly adjust the ratio of spices and layering, the order of addition and so on.

During the process, it needs to be kept still and precipitated to achieve the purpose of extracting a slightly pure liquid.

The whole process requires rigorousness, but it is quite boring to operate.

However, Dongnuan is very devoted.

It's just that this doesn't affect Dongnuan, who will do other things while the rose water is still.

Six days later, the first bottle of rose water was successfully produced.

Dongnuan tried to pick a little bit, applied it on the inside of the wrist, the side of the ear and the position of the skirt, and carried out the first day of experimentation.

The fragrance doesn't last very long, about two hours, if it lasts longer, you won't be able to smell it, unless you feel inspired by the smell, otherwise, there will be only a faint aftertaste, if there is nothing.

The fragrance retention time of two hours is actually very good. Even in modern times, many perfumes say that they have a long fragrance retention time, but in fact they can't reach six hours.

When the weather is cold and windy, the lingering fragrance may have been squeezed out in about four hours.

Dongnuan is very satisfied with the success of his first attempt.

"Not bad." After a day of experimentation, Dong Nuan nodded with satisfaction, and then carved a beautiful box for Rose Water.

The bottle containing the rose water was specially carved by Dong Nuan, with a few flowers carved on the outside, a bit like a small pocket medicine bottle, with a capacity of about 30ML.

The cork Dongnuan uses a wooden cork, which is also wrapped with a layer of fine gauze to ensure better sealing.

In fact, if you use a glass bottle, the effect will be better and the sealing will be stronger.

But, now that is not the case.

That thing is very troublesome to make, although Dongnuan has a ready-made ratio, but this thing is too amazing, really made it...

I don't know yet whether County Magistrate Gou can keep it, so I won't move for the time being.

"Girl, Miss Gou sent someone to send a message, saying that lard soap will be on the shelves in Pinxiang Pavilion tomorrow, and asked if you can go." Dong Nuan had just put away the rose water, and Shizhu walked in quickly.

For the past two days, Shi Zhu has been very busy with Dong Nuan, and smelling all kinds of spices every day, her nose is almost bad.

Talking now, there is still some nasal sound.

"Go." As soon as lard soap was about to be put on the store shelves, Dong Nuan was naturally interested.

The sale of lard soap has nothing to do with Dongnuan, but it must have something to do with the patriarch.

Because the patriarch's side can't reach mass production, the current lard soap workshop is the place that the county magistrate is looking for. The staff of the organization and the workers inside are all arranged by the county magistrate.

Of course, in order to thank the Dong clan for their contributions, the Dongjia Village accounted for a bit more workers, but it was only a little bit more in comparison.

For example, if five people are recruited, the Dong clan may account for two of them.

In addition, after the lard soap was put on the shelves of Pinxiang Pavilion, [-]% of the monthly sales of lard soap for the first three years were distributed to the Dong clan as a thank you fee.

If the lard soap sells well, the Dong clan can actually get a lot of money.

Dong Nuan had heard Dong Zhi mention it before, and the patriarch had already thought about what to do with the money he got.

Buy cattle, buy farm tools.

Now it's short of money.

It is not a secret in the county that the owner behind Pinxiang Pavilion is the county magistrate.

Therefore, it is estimated that many people will join us tomorrow.

Of course, Dongnuan also has to go to see the excitement.

"What kind of clothes will the girl wear tomorrow?" Shi Zhu hurriedly asked when Dong Nuan said that she was going.

Dongnuan now has a lot of clothes with good materials, so it's natural for them to go out to socialize and so on.

There must be a few clothes to support the scene, and Shi Zhu doesn't know which one to choose for Dong Nuan.

When Dongnuan was in Zhuangzi, he didn't pay much attention to it, and he could wear it casually, but it was impossible to be so casual when going out.

Others know your character, they will say a word, and act recklessly.

If you don't know, it's only if you don't know etiquette, and you are messing around on important occasions.

Shi Zhu is now slowly learning how to be a qualified maid's maid.

"The one in ultramarine blue." Dong Nuan thought for a while, and pointed her finger.

After hearing this, Shi Zhu went down to get ready.

Clothes need to be prepared, as well as corresponding jewelry.

Dongnuan is young now, so she doesn't need particularly expensive jewelry to set off her outfit, but she still needs necessary dressing up.

Beads and earrings are still needed, and it is best to match them with a good-looking bracelet to enhance your status.

While walking, Shi Zhu calculated in her heart.

Dong Nuan also has a lot of jewelry and the like, most of them are return gifts from Gou Qingyun's friends in the capital before, and Gou Qingyun shared some with Dong Nuan.

Because the color is very good, and Dong Nuan has enough money on hand, it was not sold or pawned.

After dinner in the evening, Dongnuan started woodcarving again.

She deliberately ran to the warehouse and picked a piece of wood. Before the formal carving, Dong Nuan contemplated the wood for a long time.

Shizhu was already ready to strike, but after waiting for a long time, there was no result, and she was still a little nervous: "Girl, is it not easy to carve?"

Dongnuan is skilled in techniques, and usually does not need to draw pictures for carving. In Shizhu's view, this is the craftsmanship of top masters.

If Dong Nuan hesitated, then most likely this thing might not be easy to carve.

In fact, it's really not easy to carve.

Because Dongnuan wants to carve waterwheels, Dayue doesn't have this thing yet, but in fact, in summer, the demand for fields is quite large.

If there is no waterwheel, it has to be done manually.

Dong Nuan carves other things, just rely on spatial imagination. Sometimes, in order to look good in proportion, you actually need to transcend reality, and you don’t need to consider issues such as practicality.

After all, art is as long as it looks good.

However, if you want to imply something to others through this artwork.

Then the realistic ratio has to be prepared, so that you can have more bargaining chips in later negotiations.

If I can't tell the ratio later, then I can't talk about it, and the credit will be greatly reduced.

It's like lard soap. It can be cracked and new products can be developed at the same time. It's all thanks to other craftsmen, and Dong Nuan's contribution is very small.

Therefore, the final benefit has nothing to do with her.

However, at that time, she wanted something, so she did that.

Today, she still has something to ask for, but she wants to use the waterwheel to ask for something useful, in other words, what she wants is a bit big.

Then this credit ratio has to be a little bigger.

Dongnuan has limited knowledge of farming tools, so it is obviously not good to start carving directly.

After holding the wood and thinking for a long time, I finally gave up my wild imagination and decided to take one step at a time and draw pictures honestly.
