The wrong marriage: the arrogant husband comes to farm

Chapter 80 Essential Oils
Nan Cheng Mo touched the big cloth bump on his sleeve and elbow, walked to the corner of the street in tears, hid in the corner, and tore off the cloth with all his strength, but the stitching was too strong, the patch was not torn off, but the cloth was ripped off. The sleeve was torn open again.

From early in the morning, Qin Mengyao was as excited as drinking honey, humming a little song, and tidied up inside and out, but he still didn't feel satisfied, his energy was as strong as chicken blood.

The young seedlings in the flowerbed grew even more vigorously than she had imagined, absorbing the rain, dew, and sunshine with all their might, jumping up and down as soon as they saw it.The grafted seedlings have also survived a lot. Qin Mengyao is very happy to see it, and he never tires of looking at it.

On the locust tree, the withered and yellow locust flowers are constantly falling, and the late blooming ones are constantly blooming one after another. The branches are full of beauty, and the ground is covered with a carpet of fallen flowers.

"The moss marks are green on the upper steps, and the grass is green on the curtain." The simplicity of the small courtyard has a different style in Qin Mengyao's eyes today, and the more he looks at it, the happier he is in his heart.

Aunt Li was thinking about Mr. Nan early in the morning, so she came to Nan's house in time, and found that Qin Mengyao's face was flushed, and she was busy and busy, and saw that she had spring waves in her eyes and a smile on her face, and she probably understood from the bottom of her heart The good thing in the night also pursed his lips and secretly laughed.

"Auntie, Zhong'er is going to go to Grandpa Qi to study medicine again. Why are you free to come here so early today?" Qin Mengyao held a rag in his hand. He didn't know what he was busy with at the moment. Come and stop.

"I heard from Uncle Qi that Zhong'er is very motivated these days, and the names of those herbs can be memorized after just saying it once. Hey, if this child doesn't study hard, he will not let Uncle Qi down," Aunt Li said. My kid couldn't help but smile from the corner of his eyes.

"I didn't expect Zhong'er to be so self-motivated. In the future, the Li family might produce another Li Shizhen!" Qin Mengyao joked with a smile. Aunt Li heard the words, although she didn't know who Li Shizhen was, but she knew it was a good word, so she was naturally happy, but He waved his hand modestly, "Mengyao, please don't say that. If Uncle Qi likes this kid, he won't have to deal with dirt like me and his father every day. We're already content."

Qin Mengyao was noncommittal, and thought to himself, which parent in the world would not want their children to become successful, and the young child under tremendous pressure had already shouldered a heavy burden, and it was not easy to be like Aunt Li.

"Almost forgot the business. When Zhong'er's father mentioned Mr. Nan last night, he felt something was wrong. He said that he was in the field not far from us when he saw him. He was so weak that he could hardly stand up." Aunt Li slightly Repeating Li Dazhuang's words with doubts, he couldn't help frowning, "Meng Yao, didn't you say that Mr. Nan went home, why did you run to that crop field instead..."

"I also feel that something is wrong. It's just that I saw him in a bad mood yesterday, and I didn't ask about it. Today, he happened to go out again, and I haven't had a chance to ask him. Why don't I ask him when he comes back."

Seeing Qin Mengyao's answer in this way, Aunt Li couldn't continue to ask questions. She turned her head and saw the black pile made up of several pots, so she changed the topic and said, "The aroma made from this thing that day It smells really good, even Zhong'er can't help but hold my hand and smell it non-stop!"

"That's right. If we can really extract pure essential oil, it will be much more fragrant than that time. It's a pity that the equipment is really poor..." Qin Mengyao couldn't help blurting out his happiness when he heard Aunt Li's words. On the sidelines, it was misty to hear.

"Mengyao, what is essential oil?" Aunt Li is so old, she has heard of rouge powder a lot, but she has never heard of essential oil in spices.

Seeing Aunt Li's puzzled expression, Qin Mengyao realized that he had lost his word in a moment of excitement, and quickly explained, "Essential oil is the layer of oil floating on the water surface, and generally scented flowers and leaves can be extracted. Extract the aromatic substances contained in it. We used the distillation method to extract the aromatic components in the Sophora japonica flower, but we did not expect to be able to extract some. But under the current conditions, it is really necessary to separate the essential oil from the water It's a bit difficult, and the essential oil is very volatile, and it evaporates quickly when it comes in contact with the air..."

The process of extracting essential oils couldn't be simpler. To Qin Mengyao, it was just a child's experiment, but to the ancients who had never been in contact with it, it was extremely difficult.

Qin Mengyao tried to use simple words to explain, but it was too difficult for Aunt Li to say so much at once, and it was almost unheard of for women living in this small mountain village to use aromatic substances and distillation methods. .She scratched her head and thought for a long time, but she still couldn't understand why the aroma of the Sophora japonica flower was transferred to the water after the water was boiled.
