Quick wear: the host is so brave, and the blackened villain dares to tease

Chapter 633 Imperial Examination Girls Are Not Cannon Fodder (11)

"Okay!"

Ning Xi's eyes lit up, if he could make a distiller, then the matter of essential oil would be settled.

The sound of "dong dong dong" came from a shop.

When Ning Xi followed He Shiyan to the blacksmith's shop, he immediately saw a big shirtless man in the yard, striking iron with a sledgehammer in his hand.

When he saw them, the blacksmith stopped his movements and laughed, "He Sanlang is here, why are you free to come and see me today?"

Ning Xi looked back at He Shiyan in puzzlement.

He Shiyan lowered his head slightly and said softly, "I'll tell you when I get home."

As he spoke, he walked towards the blacksmith, "Brother Xu, I want to show you a blueprint that can be typed out."

Blacksmith Xu handed the sledgehammer to the apprentice, took the blueprint and sat down at the stone table next to the well in the yard.

Blacksmith Xu thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Miss Ning, what you're doing looks like you're quenching fire."

He Shiyan was silent, and then said: "That's right, you will be 17 in a few months, I'm afraid I'll delay you."

"I only know you here."

Ning Xi moved a small wooden stool and sat on the side to keep adding water to the compartment next to the pipe.

He watched a cloud of mist flowing down the two iron pipes, still soaked in water, and he didn't know what to do with it.

"As for these two pipes, the air inside can be vented out, and the compartments of the pipes can be filled with cold water."

Ning Xi couldn't help looking forward to it, watching the things flowing out of the pipe with her eyes, and waited for a long time until the water in the distiller was almost boiled dry before she got a small half cup of essential oil.

Only then did Blacksmith Xu notice that the little girl in front of him was the owner of the drawings, so he listened to her continue.

Blacksmith Xu waved his hand, "Hey, you don't know how to blacksmith, so I can't explain it for a while, but I can help you improve this so-called still."

However, with essential oils, she can make more soaps, which is more profitable than soaps, which is not bad.

Unexpectedly, Tiejiang Xu said thoughtfully: "You can try it, but it may take a while."

In a few days, Ning Xi got Xu Tiejiang's newly improved distiller. This time, he got twice as much essential oil as the last time.

He Shiyan had never seen such a straightforward woman, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so the two returned home in such silence.

Ning Xi stepped forward, "This is called a condenser tube."

The whole yard is filled with a particularly pleasant aroma.

"Thank you, Brother He, we will live together for a long time in the future, if you call me by my name, it's weird, or you can call me Xiaoxi." Ning Xi lifted the crisis and regained her energy Looking full, I went back to make soap.

He Shiyan nodded and turned his gaze back to the book.

It is too difficult to promote and put into production in large quantities.

"Thank you so much!" Ning Xi suddenly stood up.

When mentioning the word wife, after Xu Tiejiang left, the atmosphere between Ning Xi and He Shiyan was somewhat delicate.

He Shiyan gestured to Ning Xi.

Blacksmith Xu had never seen such objects before, so he stayed in the yard to watch Ning Xi operate, and He Shiyan was standing beside him.

He pointed to the two lines on the graph, "This is?"

Ning Xi looked at the crude alembic, grabbed a handful of flower petals and put them in, then put the alembic on the stove to heat it up.

In the next moment, he responded like a ghost, "Okay."

Ning Xi looked back at him, "Brother He, what's wrong?"

He put down the book, looked at the little girl who was working hard, "Ning Xi."

He Shiyan was quite touched when he heard her last words. He also has no relatives in this world.

On the way back, Ning Xi was still puzzled, "Brother He, are you familiar with that Blacksmith Xu?"

"Can we not mention the dissolution of the engagement for now?"

……

The gas mixed with the fragrance of flowers comes to the outlet from the winding condenser tube.

Ning Xi put away the essential oil she got, and then said: "This is called essential oil, but the extraction is not perfect, so many flowers can only get so little."

Just in spring, when the mountain flowers were in full bloom, Ning Xi picked a lot of winter jasmine, peach, and apricot flowers, and put the petals in the wooden basin, and the whole yard was filled with a fragrance.

Ning Xi asked him back, "Then you want to mention the dissolution of the engagement with me now?"

Ning Xi thought for a while, and gestured: "I want to make such a big jar, and I want you to make a sieve plate at the bottom of the jar that can separate water from other things, and then the whole jar will be sealed."

Blacksmith Xu said, the price of this special product is much more expensive, since you are the one brought by brother He, it doesn't count as your processing fee, just pay for the material after it is finished.

"Yes." He Shiyan nodded simply.

……

He Shiyan was sitting at the stone table in the yard reading a book. He had something on his mind, but he couldn't concentrate.

Ning Xi wiped her hands, walked in front of him, looked into his eyes, "I don't have a crush now, are you willing to take me in again?"

Ning Xi suddenly chuckled, "Afraid of delaying me? That's why you broke the engagement?"

He Shiyan walked as he walked, "We used to be classmates, but now he gave up the imperial examination. His father died unexpectedly two years ago, and the iron shop had a lot of bad debts. I just happened to do him a favor."

Ning Xi was busy looking for something to do, and used the half bottle of essential oil she got earlier to make soap with a strong floral fragrance.

Ning Xi's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.

"So, he is thanking you now." Ning Xi followed him with her hands behind her back, and casually boasted, "Brother He is really amazing."

After all, it was too complicated, and Ning Xi didn't have much confidence that the blacksmiths of this era could make the still.

In less than a week, Ning Xi received the still from Blacksmith Xu, which looked like a heavy black lump of iron.

Tiejiang Xu opened his eyes wide in shock, "What is this, it smells even more fragrant than the powder from the rouge shop."

He mused: "The marriage contract should have been terminated after the junior sister had a lover. But the teacher and the teacher's wife passed away, and it was difficult for her to live alone. In order to support the family logically, I have not mentioned this matter."

With a good still, she started a soap business in full swing.

After the water in the stove is heated, the water vapor will mix with the fragrance of flowers and rush upwards.

After reading it, he frowned slightly. The Xu family has been forging iron for generations, not to mention the ordinary farm implements, but the blueprints of weapons. Can't figure it out.

Blacksmith Xu picked up Tie Knot, "Don't be polite. I didn't know you were Brother He's unmarried wife. If I knew, I would never accept this money."

"Quenching?" Ning Xi didn't know why.

At the same time, Wang Linzhang, the hero who is far away in the capital, did not go so smoothly.

Ning Xi was tinkering with soap at home, while the little white cat showed her a light screen to watch Wang Linzhang's situation.

Wang Linzhang was not taken back to Xiangfu by Wang Zuo as in the original book, but was placed in a villa.
