Chapter 81 Coincidence
Seeing that Aunt Li was full of doubts and remained silent for a long time, Qin Mengyao searched his stomach and thought for a while, picked up a Sophora japonica flower that fell on the ground, opened the petals, pointed to the base of the stamen, and explained, "The flower of Sophora japonica flower So there is a fragrance, because the flower contains a special fragrance substance, which is the same as the oil we use for cooking, it can float on the surface of the water, and when collected, it is an essential oil that can emit fragrance."

Aunt Li suddenly realized, and slapped her head, "No wonder, I still wonder why there is a scent of Sophora japonica in the water..."

It’s just that Aunt Li didn’t have the nerve to say that after she returned home, she picked some Sophora japonica flowers and boiled them in the pot for a long time, but the boiled water only had the astringent smell of petals, not the pleasant aroma at all. A pot of Sophora japonica was boiled into a pot of mud, fearing that Li Dazhuang would see and say that he was ruining things, so he had to dry and steam Sophora japonica cake to eat.

After this explanation, Qin Mengyao's interest was also aroused. It happened that there were still many Sophora japonica flowers that had been sun-dried, so he took a basket full and washed the simple still pot.And Aunt Li was also happy to help, adding water and lighting the fire. The two of them were very busy.

With the experience from last time, the two of them became more proficient in working together. After the water boiled, steam condensed into water droplets and fell into the bowl below. However, the conditions were limited, and most of the steam escaped directly. into the air.

After picking up half a bowl, the firewood in the courtyard was almost exhausted, so Aunt Li stopped the fire, washed her hands, picked up the bowl of steamed water and smelled it again and again, she was very happy.

Qin Mengyao stared helplessly at the thin layer on the water surface, very worried, and thought to himself, "Although the essential oil has been extracted, how to separate it is still a big problem. Moreover, essential oil is volatile. Fragrance, if it cannot be put into a closed container in time, even if the distillation is successful, it is meaningless."

On the other side, I heard Aunt Li praised, "This water is really more fragrant than the spices used by those ladies in the city. If it is sold in the city, I don't know how popular it will be!"

Although Aunt Li just said it casually, it coincided with Qin Mengyao's thoughts, but the time was not yet ripe, Qin Mengyao just smiled and shook his head.

"Aunt Li, girls in the city don't have any kind of cosmetic powder or spices, so how could they care about the essential oils we make?" Although Qin Mengyao had a plan in mind, he still casually responded, and poured the residue from the still pot on aside.

"That's not necessarily true. What woman doesn't love spices, not to mention that the scent in this water is almost the same as the scent of flowers. I'm afraid people will rush to buy it!" Aunt Li smelled the scent of flowers, and put some on her hands, not without longing Said.

This was Qin Mengyao's original intention for extracting essential oils, but when Aunt Li said the words, Qin Mengyao couldn't help but look at Aunt Li again, never expecting that she would have such a business after only extracting essential oils twice. Thoughts, it is inevitable that Qin Mengyao looked up, but there was also a hint of guard in his heart.

The Qin Group's bankruptcy that day was due to commercial betrayal. Although she knew Aunt Li's character, she definitely did not want to encounter such a thing in the future.

"However, there is no reason in this world for us women to support our families. What I said just now was just a talk," Aunt Li felt a little regretful when she recovered from her fantasy.

"So what about women, they hold up half the sky," Qin Mengyao saw that Aunt Li was depressed, and couldn't help bringing in the idea that everyone was equal. Just as she was about to tell the story of Hua Mulan, she suddenly heard someone coughing lightly behind her. He turned around and realized that Nan Cheng Mo was standing behind him.

"Oh, Mr. Nan is back, I didn't expect time to pass so fast," Aunt Li looked up at the sun above her head, put the bowl aside, hurriedly said goodbye and returned home to prepare lunch.

Listening to Aunt Li's leaving footsteps, Nan Cheng Mo still had a smiling expression on his face, but the feeling of not smiling made Qin Mengyao feel trembling.

"Uh, are you hungry? I'll cook." Under the strange atmosphere, Qin Mengyao found an excuse and wanted to escape quickly.

But I heard Nan Chengmo said unhurriedly behind him, "No hurry, your theory just now is very interesting, even I listened with gusto, woman."

Qin Mengyao wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around silently, and looked at Nan Chengmo resentfully, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Nan has a habit of eavesdropping on others."
