The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 41 Bellows
"Little girl, what do you need from me?"

In the evening, Master Qiao was drinking wine in his hut, enjoying himself, when he suddenly saw Youdao's petite figure dangling at the door.

He twirled his beard and laughed, "What are you afraid of? Come in."

"I'm afraid I'll disturb your old elegance."

"Hehehe, the little girl can really talk. Come on, come on."

Master Qiao beckoned, Gan Tiantian smiled and jumped into the room with a snack box in hand.

"What good things did you bring me?"

Gan Tiantian opened the food boxes layer by layer, and there were quite a lot of things inside.There are peanuts, fried soybeans, pickled cucumbers, braised chicken feet, fried chicken gizzards, and a plate of braised rabbit heads, all of which are good dishes to accompany wine.

"Hey, it's still hot."

Master Qiao found it strange that this girl had been wandering around outside her house for several times, and she didn't know how long she had been delayed before.Why are these dishes still warm on a snowy day?
Gan Tiantian smiled slyly, and then opened the bottom layer, and there was a small charcoal stove underneath.

This kind of food box is seldom used by ordinary people. Gan Tiantian had seen it on the Bochun boat before, and brought it back to use when he went home on vacation a few days ago, mainly to save some supper for himself—— As a foodie, you must never treat your stomach harshly!

"Well, you have a heart."

Master Qiao smiled kindly, let Gan Tiantian pour the wine for him, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth: "You girl will definitely not be courteous for nothing, tell me, what do you want from my old man?"

"Look at what you said! Why can't I come and see you if it's okay?"

Gan Tiantian said angrily.

After entering the incense shop, she was assigned to work under Mrs. Xu, and indeed she rarely saw Master Qiao.But every time she ran into his old man, she would greet him sweetly.

As the chief steward of Xiangfang's No. [-] brand, Master Qiao has a detached position in Yujinfang, and he should be the object of everyone's vying to curry favor.But he is too low-key, so low-key that he has no sense of presence. Although everyone respects him, few people think of getting close to him.

On the contrary, Gan Tiantian has a feeling that Master Qiao... seems to be doing it on purpose.She didn't have any reason, even pure intuition may not be right.

However, due to a chance acquaintance during the interview, Gan Tiantian accidentally caught Master Qiao's eyes, but Master Qiao did not resist her approach.

"So you just come to me if you have nothing to do? Okay, then I can enjoy these side dishes. You can go back first. I heard that you have a lot of work to do now? Why do you still have time to hang around here? Go fast."

"...Okay, I have something to do."

Gan Tiantian pouted, seeing the smile on Master Qiao's face, he couldn't help but coquettishly said, "Your old man just likes to tease me!"

"All right, all right, I won't tease you." Master Qiao picked up a marinated chicken paw and gnawed leisurely: "Hurry up and get down to business."

"It's business, take a look at this picture."

"what is this?"

Master Qiao poked his head over, casually glanced at Gan Tiantian's opened drawing, and suddenly frowned.

"This is the stove where the bark is boiled."

"No, I mean under the stove... what did you draw?"

Master Qiao dropped the chicken feet and pointed somewhere in the picture.

As expected of a senior perfumer, Gan Tiantian thought to himself, the reaction was really quick.

"This is called a bellows!"

"The bellows?"

Master Qiao was thoughtful, while Gan Tiantian explained the structure and principle of the bellows while the iron was hot.Following Gan Tiantian's explanation, Master Qiao's slightly frowned eyebrows gradually untied, and finally turned into a face full of surprise.

"What you said...is it true?"

"This thing, can really add fire?"

Master Qiao's originally calm expression now looked a little excited.

"Well! Really!"

Gan Tiantian nodded vigorously. It is not uncommon for a bellows to add fire, but for some reason... the Great Xiao where she lives, this thing has not been invented yet.Obviously in another dimension of the world, people began to be popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties!
When he learned that he and Tao Tao had to cook so many barrels of bark, Gan Tiantian began to think about how to save himself some energy and complete the task well.

She remembered the principle of the bellows very well, and it was not difficult to draw the blueprints. It was even easy to ask her brother to go out to the carpenter's shop overnight to make them - the Gan family is not short of this money now.

The most difficult part of this matter is that she has to confirm, will she violate the rules of the quiz by doing so?

Originally, she should have discussed this matter with her chief manager, Aunt Xu.But since he was severely punished by Aunt Xu last time, Gan Tiantian has long given up his desire to please this strict boss.

The quiz was originally reviewed by the four stewards. As the head of the four stewards, Master Qiao even had a higher voice in the quiz than Aunt Xu.She might as well get Master Qiao's approval first, and then...Master Qiao, it should be easier to discuss, right?
It is a taboo in the workplace to get close to the supervisor of another department over the head of one's own department, but it must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.In her current situation, it is more practical to ask for foreign aid!

"As long as this thing really has the effect you said, I will definitely speak for you and let you pass the quiz."

Master Qiao said decisively, Gan Tiantian was startled by his straightforward attitude.

And what Ji Bingyun said afterward made Gan Tiantian even more frightened.

"Stupid girl, you still don't know that what you made...is amazing?"

"sharp?"

Gan Tiantian was stunned for a while, didn't he just set up a bellows to blow the wind and blow the fire, to save himself energy?

"Although I don't often process raw materials..."

The translucent Ji Bingyun hung in the air, looking at the blueprint in Gan Tiantian's hands with complicated eyes.

"However, as long as this thing has half the effect you said, the impact on the craftsmen will be very, very large..."

"Do you know how many craftsmen are troubled by adding fire? Not only perfumers, but also blacksmiths, cooks, and everyone who works with fire..."

"They'd all be happy to have it."

"Girl, you really, have made something very powerful again."

again?
Gan Tiantian keenly grasped the key points, that is to say, Ji Bingyun also felt that the distillation method he used to do was quite powerful, right?

Hehehe... It's not easy to get the proud Ji Bingyun to give me a thumbs up!

Three days later, the crude oil cooked by Gan Tiantian and Tao Tao was delivered as scheduled.

But the crude oil they handed over was ten barrels more than the original requirement—and the crude oil they refined was much purer than that produced by others, and it was much easier to filter the dross.

"How did you do it?"

Master Zhu, who was usually fierce and unpretentious, showed a look of surprise after seeing the goods they delivered.

"They, they cheat!"

Suddenly, someone rushed over and shouted loudly.
