Chapter 111 Wintersweet Hydrosol
Seeing that Liang Jingcheng was still intoxicated by the fragrance of the wintersweet tincture but had not forgotten about the hydrosol, Ye Changyan took him into the house to check on the status of the hydrosol.
There was amber liquid in the two glass jars, which looked very beautiful. If you looked closely, you would find that there was a thin layer of oil suspended above the liquid.
“Is this essential oil?”
Liang Jingcheng pointed at the amber-colored shiny liquid on the surface of the glass jar and looked at Ye Changyan.
"Yes, this is the extremely precious wintersweet essential oil."
Ye Changyan took out the small green-glazed porcelain bottle that he had prepared in advance, and used a thin copper spoon specially made by a coppersmith to gently scoop the essential oil into the porcelain bottle. Seeing Ye Changyan's slow movements, Liang Jingcheng held his breath and watched from the side.
When the essential oil in the glass jar was almost scooped out, Ye Changyan tilted the glass jar gently, then scooped out some more essential oil before putting down the glass jar. After all the essential oil in the two glass jars was scooped out, Ye Changyan found that the porcelain bottle that could hold one or two ounces of essential oil was actually filled with about half a bottle, and he was very happy.
Liang Jingcheng took the porcelain bottle and saw that there was only a little essential oil in it. He was a little surprised. No wonder Ye Changyan said that this essential oil was very precious. Then he carefully covered the cork, put the porcelain bottle away, pointed to the glass jar, and asked Ye Changyan.
"So the rest is all wintersweet pure water?"
"Yes, this is the hydrosol. Of course, it also contains a very small amount of essential oil. This is the most essential part of the hydrosol."
Seeing Liang Jingcheng's expectant look, Ye Changyan smiled at him.
"Would you like to give it a try?"
Liang Jingcheng nodded repeatedly, but said with some concern.
"But I don't know how to use it, and this hydrosol is also very precious. How about you make it for me?"
Ye Changyan didn't hesitate much. He picked up another copper spoon, scooped a small spoonful of pure water, poured it into his palm, and gestured to Liang Jingcheng.
Liang Jingcheng moved closer to Ye Changyan, put his face close to Ye Changyan, and stared at Ye Changyan with his eyes.
"Close your eyes. You're making me nervous when you stare at me like that."
Hearing Ye Changyan's words, Liang Jingcheng gently closed his eyes. His eyelashes were thick, long, and slightly curled up, like black swan feathers.
Liang Jingcheng has thick eyebrows and eyelashes, a straight nose, thin lips with delicate contours, and a clean chin with clearly visible stubble.
Seeing such a fair and handsome face so close to him, Ye Changyan felt a little dry in the mouth.
Ye Changyan stretched out his right index finger and middle finger, put some wintersweet pure dew on the palm of his left hand, then extended his fingers to the eye socket area of Liang Jingcheng's lower eyelid and gently applied it.
When Ye Changyan first started, Liang Jingcheng blinked his eyelashes twice out of nervousness, but as Ye Changyan's fingertips gently rubbed his cheeks, Liang Jingcheng felt very comfortable, and his nervousness disappeared completely, with a hint of enjoyment unconsciously appearing on his face.
Ye Changyan gently applied wintersweet pure dew on Liang Jingcheng's face, rubbing it as he applied, especially on the T-zone area. He rubbed it very carefully. He could feel the delicate and smooth touch between his fingertips, which made Liang Jingcheng feel even drier and thirstier.
Just when Liang Jingcheng closed his eyes and looked enjoying it, Ye Changyan put his right fingers together and began to gently pat Liang Jingcheng's cheeks, scaring Liang Jingcheng so much that he quickly opened his eyes.
"Don't move. Close your eyes. I'll pat you so your skin can better absorb the essence of this pure dew."
Liang Jingcheng closed his eyes, and as Ye Changyan patted him rhythmically, his whole body relaxed and an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face again.
"Okay, how do you feel?"
After a while of patting, Ye Changyan felt that the pure dew on Liang Jingcheng's face had been almost absorbed, so he stopped what he was doing and asked.
Liang Jingcheng slowly opened his eyes, reached out and gently stroked his cheek, feeling his skin was moist, delicate and smooth. There was also a faint and lingering scent of wintersweet lingering in his nose, making him feel refreshed.
"I feel that every pore on my face has become very clear, my skin feels delicate, smooth, moist and elastic, and the light and long-lasting fragrance of wintersweet flowers lingers around me. It feels great!"
At this moment, Mr. Cai, accompanied by Ye Xiaozheng, also walked into the room and heard Liang Jingcheng's last sentence.
“What feels great?”
Mr. Cai asked Liang Jingcheng, Liang Jingcheng told Mr. Cai the general situation, and Mr. Cai asked back.
"Is it really that good?"
Liang Jingcheng put his face close to Mr. Cai.
"Teacher, please come closer and touch my cheek. It feels really good."
"The face looks rosy and I can smell the fragrance of wintersweet flowers, making her look like a fragrant young lady."
When everyone heard what Mr. Cai said, they all burst into laughter.
Liang Jingcheng helped Ye Changyan pack the pure dew into white porcelain bottles prepared in advance, plugged them with corks, and sealed them with beeswax.
Then, they used a seal engraved with the "Bihuajiao" graphic logo to print the pattern on the cut wrapping paper, applied a light layer of paste, and carefully pasted it on each white porcelain bottle.
Ye Changyan picked up one, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
"What do you plan to do with this hydrosol?"
Seeing these packaged pure waters placed on the cabinet, Liang Jingcheng asked Ye Changyan.
"I plan to give it to Zhong Yunfeng and ask his father to help find a way to sell it in Yuzhou City. I'll earn some money to build some furniture and furnishings. The foundation of this courtyard has already been dug, so I can't just move the things on the farm over there and use them to make do."
"Hahaha, I believe the ladies and ladies of the wealthy families in Yuzhou City will definitely like it, and I will be able to sell it for a good price when the time comes."
After hearing Ye Changyan's plan, Mr. Cai and Ye Xiaozheng also laughed.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng left the courtyard and prepared to return to Chu Garden.
Before leaving, Ye Changyan took two bottles of wintersweet hydrosol and handed them to Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng.
"Teacher, Jingcheng will teach you how to use it when you go back. It feels very comfortable after use and can also delay skin aging. It is very good for the skin."
"Okay, okay, it's rare that you are so filial."
Mr. Cai took the porcelain bottle and nodded repeatedly.
"Teacher, the Winter Solstice Festival is coming in a few days. I have already ordered a leg of lamb from the mutton shop in the county. I will go to visit my grandmother in the morning, and then go to Chu Garden in the afternoon to stew a pot of mutton soup for you to warm you up."
"Don't we eat dumplings during the winter solstice?"
Mr. Cai asked Ye Changyan with some doubt.
"Teacher, you may not know that in Yuzhou Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture to the west, people drink mutton soup on the winter solstice. I will make some mutton dumplings for you and cook them and eat them in the mutton soup!"
