Chapter 130 It looks delicious
Shen Youyou didn't plan to add any herbs to the cream. Although Grandpa Guo still had some herbs, they had no place to live and couldn't find a place to buy them.
As for collecting herbs, even if we can collect them next spring, there is still so much time left. What's more, there is no certainty about things that have not been obtained.
So I decided to use palm oil and pine oil to make the cream, and not add anything else.
What's more, she didn't know what medicinal herbs were suitable for these two oils, after all, she didn't study medicine in her previous life.
I can remember the medicinal properties of some plants simply because I am interested in them and I have a naturally good memory.
As for Grandpa Guo, he must know that, as I said before, those medicinal materials should be used mainly for curing diseases.
Palm oil and pine oil should be more than enough to treat the cracked and frostbitten hands.
Shen Youyou first puts the palm oil into a boiling container and heats it until the oil melts.
If you use a medicinal material soaking liquid, after the oil melts, filter out the medicinal residue and pour it into the oil. Continue heating and stirring to allow the medicinal ingredients and the oil to fully blend.
She didn't plan to use any herbs, so this step was to add pine oil, stir and heat.
In fact, facial cream is really easy to make. After the palm oil and pine oil are completely melted, put the lid on.
Take the clay pot containing the cream mixture directly to the entrance of the cave and cover it with snow to speed up cooling.
In this weather, it doesn’t take too long for the cream to solidify.
Because Shen Youyou planned to make a pure oil cream, she didn't need to add any water. The oil after mixing was a light yellow color.
The heavy snow has not stopped yet and it is still very cold, which is equivalent to a modern refrigerator.
It took more than an hour to completely solidify.
Only the last step is left. Shen Youyou whips the cream mixture directly like whipping butter.
Now, this is the most strenuous step, because there were no modern egg beaters, and we couldn’t just press a button and “woosh” and beat the eggs.
This step is really manual beating, but she used bamboo to make an egg beater.
However, you should pay attention to choosing thicker bamboo strips, otherwise the cream mixture will be much denser than egg liquid.
One is a liquid and the other is a paste.
Even with a bamboo whisk, it is not easy to make a creamy texture.
Shen Youyou could only use her special trick and ask her sisters to help her in turns.
Shen Erya shook her sore arms and asked, "This thing looks delicious to me."
Shen Youyou laughed: "You can't eat this, it's for skin care. I see your hands are also cracked by the cold. Apply it for a while and it will be fine.
Our hands and faces are very important to us women. Using this cream will make our skin whiter and more supple. "
Although Shen Erya was also curious, she was not as interested in the facial cream as the other sisters. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this facial cream looked delicious.
Shen Youyou was really impressed by her sister's foodie status. She had never seen cream, let alone eaten it, so why did she want to eat face cream the first time she saw it?
However, the other sisters were very interested in the facial cream. Looking at their eyes, they were sparkling and full of expectation.
Shen Youyou felt that this was normal, because she had always believed that no matter what era, women always loved beauty.
Chatting did not affect them from continuing to beat the cream mixture. After almost all the ladies had taken turns, Shen Youyou saw that it had become a creamy texture and felt that it was almost ready.
Generally, you can add some pearl powder at this time, which can whiten and brighten the skin, and make the face cream less greasy.
But again, Shen Youyou doesn't have it, but she has Pueraria powder.
Shen Erya was extremely surprised and asked Shen Youyou in a low voice: "Aren't you cooking? Why do you need oil and kudzu root powder?"
Shen Youyou took the egg beater and continued to beat it herself, mixing the kudzu root powder and flour thoroughly. You don't need to put a lot, just about one twentieth ratio will be enough.
"Because kudzu root powder can also help with skin care and beauty. When I ate kudzu root paste before, didn't I tell you that it can beautify your skin?"
Pueraria powder also contains a variety of amino acids and trace elements that are beneficial to the human body. It can promote skin regeneration and restore skin elasticity, achieving the effect of beauty and skin care.
It also has a good antioxidant effect, can remove free radicals, protect the skin from oxidative damage, and make the skin smoother and more delicate.
Pueraria powder also has a certain whitening effect. It can inhibit the formation of melanin and make the skin color more even.
It also provides the skin with a variety of beneficial nutrients that help improve skin condition.
The most important thing is that Pueraria powder can also be used to make facial masks. After mixing with egg white and other materials, it can be applied on the face to achieve whitening and moisturizing effects.
This method is not only simple, but also effective, and can make the skin whiter and moisturized.
But the same thing goes, they don’t have eggs, let alone chicken eggs, they haven’t seen bird eggs for a long time.
Hey! After hearing this, Shen Youyou suddenly wanted to eat egg custard. Thinking about this, she couldn't help licking her pink lips.
Shen Erya covered her mouth, trying hard not to laugh.
Shen Youyou also understood what her second sister meant. She must be asking, "Do you also think this is delicious?"
Oh! I really can’t let my thoughts wander. I want to eat cream cake again.
Although they have nothing now, she firmly believes that as long as they settle down, relying on her own brains, her father's brains, and everyone's hands, they will be able to live a life where they can eat whatever they want.
Now back to the topic, finally put the prepared facial cream into the bamboo box.
The bamboo boxes were all made short and stocky for easy application. With so many people working together, they packed a total of thirty-five boxes.
Shen Youyou asked the sisters to soak their hands in warm water and wash their faces and hands. It was time to present the final results of the experiment.
This facial cream is perfect for dry seasons like autumn and winter.
Shen Erya imitated Shen Youyou and scooped a little cream with her fingertips: "Should I really apply this oil on my face?"
Shen Youyou gave her a look that said, "Just apply it boldly," and she also applied some on her face and hands.
It has a light scent of pine and the sweet aroma of palm oil, and it smells really good.
Not every person can get a box of facial cream. After all, the quantity produced this time is limited. Let's all see the effect first. If we make more, we will have an excuse to ask grandma for palm oil.
Shen Youyou took a box and went to present the treasure to her mother and grandmother.
Li Jingshu was pleasantly surprised and said in a suppressed voice, "Did it work?"
Shen Youyou nodded: "Mom, try it. I see your hands are also cracked from the cold."
Li Jingshu washed her face and hands without any hesitation. She still trusted the facial cream made by her daughter.
In her previous life, all the skin care products she applied on her face were bought, but her daughter also often made some body lotions, saying that they were all natural and had no additives.
