Following lavender, rosemary has also entered its flowering season as promised.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Its flowering period is longer than that of lavender, and with proper maintenance, it can bloom until the following spring.

However, compared to the noble and elegant dreamy purple, the small white flowers of rosemary are not so popular.

Until Xu Yin told the maid: "Although the flowers it blooms are light and inconspicuous, it has the effects of repelling insects and mosquitoes, calming the mind, and is very useful."

When the servants heard this, they immediately brought a few flower pots over, transplanted a few plants, and moved them back to the tea garden. They placed rosemary flowers in the flowering season in every corner of the second courtyard, where insects could easily hide. fragrant.

I dont know if its the flower that really has a good effect, or its just a psychological effect. In short, the ladies are all talking in private, and the quality of their sleep has been much better recently than before.

The cook who was given a pot of rosemary also said that he slept better these days than before and had fewer random dreams.

At this age, the maids all have good sleep quality, and there is nothing to talk about in terms of calming and soothing the nerves. However, they found that there were fewer small flying insects in the other yard, and immediately listed rosemary as their favorite flower.

"Girl, don't tell me. When this flower was planted on the mountain, it was so plain that people could easily ignore it. I didn't expect that it would be quite beautiful in a single pot like this."

Xu Yin: Thats because you put a filter on it.

If it were the height of summer, roses and jasmine should be blooming by now. Unfortunately, these two flowers are not cold-tolerant and will not bloom easily when the autumn wind blows.

But its okay, loosen the soil, cultivate some nutritious soil, and make the branches stronger. They will definitely have their flowering period next spring and summer.

Nowadays, the cultivation of Spice Mountain has entered a stable period.

The boy who was sent out to look for sandalwood saplings, magnolia saplings, and laurel saplings has long since returned. The saplings he brought back were planted along the foot of the mountain before autumn.

Like roses and jasmine, these saplings will grow taller and stronger throughout the winter.

Villagers are hired for daily maintenance of flower and saplings, and Xu Yin does not need to stay there all the time.

In her free time, she would follow the guidance of the government doctor to gain some superficial knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, starting with taking pulses and absorbing this knowledge bit by bit.

Of course, she would go to Spice Flower Hill every morning to exercise early in the morning.

Although this small body is much healthier than the sickly beauties in the world of movie queens, the ancient rich lady never left the house and did not exercise too much. In the first few days after arriving, if she hadn't used health pills as candy Douche, I really cant bear the high-intensity sport of mountain climbing.

Now, she exercises every day, even though her skin tone is not as white as before. Compared with before, in her eyes, she is still fair and rosy, like a healthy apple. How could it be as exaggerated as Zi Yuan's tanning?

"Girl, the delivery from Liulicang has arrived, and this time it is said that it was successfully fired according to the girl's request."

He followed Xu Yin to attack.

Finally, all the glass distillation equipment was assembled.

Lavender is also picked from the spice mountains.

Water distillation method, as the name suggests, is to spread lavender on the upper half of the distillation barrel, fill the lower half with water, and steam it like rice and vegetables.

As the water boils, the oil and aroma of lavender will continue to evaporate with the water vapor. After condensation and separation of oil and water, these vapors are obtained as lavender essential oil.

Hydrovapor distillation method is to pour water into a surrounding glass tube.

With heating, the air in the distillation barrel gradually becomes hotter, thus evaporating the oil and aroma in the lavender.

These two methods can extract lavender essential oil.

Based on the length of time, the content and quality of the extracted essential oils, Xu Yin came to a conclusion:

The water distillation method extracts lavender essential oil in a short time and in large quantities, but the purity of the essential oil is not as good as that of the water vapor distillation method.

She came into contact with this industry in order to complete the additional task of "a legendary fragrance that amazes the world" released by the system. She was not just doing business to make money, so she finally decided on the water distillation method to extract lavender essential oil.

Similarly, subsequent tests on rosemary essential oil ultimately proved that the essential oil extracted by steam distillation was of higher purity and better quality.

Xu Yin made the decision without hesitation: "Xu Kui, write it down! From now on, these two kinds of flowers will be used to extract essential oils with Equipment No. 3."

Yes, girl.

After Xu Kui wrote it down, he didn't understand and asked: "Girl, is this essential oil the fragrance you mentioned?"

Not really. But this one will work too.

She collected the lavender essential oil and rosemary essential oil that had been refined and extracted many times.

Hundreds of kilograms of lavender, and finally half a kilogram of essential oil was extracted.

The oil yield of rosemary is higher, and one pound of essential oil can be extracted from one hundred pounds.

Xu Yin and Liulifang customized a batch of 10ml brown bottles containing essential oils, one for each flower type, and distributed them to the people below as a benefit.

The village chief and the junior students who helped assemble the equipment were also fortunate enough to be assigned to a group.

Xu Kui sent the rest to Xu's Spice Shop to promote it as a new product.
