Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 823 Qifei Sesame Oil
After the speech, there was a free question-and-answer period. Since this is an open meeting, the questions asked by those present naturally varied.For example, someone asked Liang En which spice he found this time he liked the most.

"——If I were to choose the spice that best represents ancient Egypt, then I would definitely choose this, one of the most famous aromatic formulas in ancient Egypt——Kyphi sesame oil."

After hearing this question, Liang En thought for a few seconds, and then switched the photo projected on the screen by the projector to a document.

"This luxurious formula composed of 16 ingredients includes calamus, saffron, cinnamon, pine, cinnamon, and juniper, soaked together with honey, grapes, and red wine. According to records, there will be a Wonderful sweet scent."

"Beyond that. This spice is also one of the most widely used spices in ancient Egypt. From personal use by the royal family to sacrifices to gods, this spice is considered the first choice."

In ancient times, it was not easy to gather so many raw materials, such as saffron, cinnamon and cinnamon, which were basically imported for the ancient Egyptians.

However, these ancient Egyptians spared no expense when making spices. They would introduce various fragrant woods, balms, and sesame oils that could be used directly from the Middle East, Africa, and even remote India.

In addition, they soak petals and spice plants in oil and then filter them into sesame oil and perfume, or squeeze petals, plants, spices and sesame seeds into juice, and then mix gum, vegetable oil, honey, etc. to make incense or perfume. ointment.

"It sounds very good, but it's a pity that it's hard to have a vivid understanding of this kind of thing just by listening to the language description." After listening to Liang En's description of this spice, someone said regretfully.

After all, spices are different from novels or paintings. He needs to use his sense of smell to perceive them. In this case, it is indeed difficult to perceive what spices are all about by words alone.

"Actually—it's actually not difficult to restore Qifei sesame oil." After hearing someone say this, Liang En frowned and thought for a while, and then said in an uncertain tone.

"At least the production method in the information is very detailed. These raw materials still exist today. It should take a few hours to recover this spice as long as you prepare a batch of chemical experiment tools."

"Then what if we use traditional alchemy tools?" Just as Liang En finished speaking, Vice President John of the Rosary Cross walked out of the crowd and asked. "It is a tool from the ancient Egyptian era, and then made according to the ancient Egyptian method."

"If you use those ancient tools and make it completely according to the tradition, this process will take three days." Liang En closed his eyes and said after searching in his memory.

"On the one hand, compared with modern or even modern alchemy tools, the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to make spices are very crude, so the efficiency is naturally not high."

"On the other hand, if you really want to imitate ancient Egypt, then there will be a series of religious and mystical rituals in the production process, and even the ritual time will be longer than the production time."

"Actually, if it is the second configuration, one day is enough, but because the first configuration requires a blessing ceremony for various raw materials and equipment, it will take a little more time."

"These can all be resolved." After hearing Liang En's words, the vice president of the Rose Cross suddenly became excited. "We happen to have a set of sterling silver antique Egyptian tools, and now let them send these things and raw materials over immediately."

"As for the relatively long time, I think everyone should be very patient. And if possible, I hope you can allow everyone to watch and record the video."

"Whether it's observation or video recording, I think it's fine, but the prerequisite is that there should be as little noise as possible and my operation during observation." Liang En nodded after listening to Vice President John.

"Besides, I will not communicate with other people during these three days, nor will I speak other languages ​​other than ancient Egypt, but afterwards I will repeat all the words I said in these three days in Latin."

Since so many people wanted to watch the complete process of the ancient Egyptians making this kind of spice, Liang En naturally would not refuse at this time, after all, there are not many opportunities to gain so many people's favor with one performance.

As for the reason for choosing to use Latin for the final description, it is because these members come from various countries and each has its own language, so it is obviously better to choose a neutral language at this time.

As for the reason for choosing Latin, it is even simpler. Although not many people use this language, as scholars who study transcendence, they must understand these contents, so it is natural to ensure that every force present can understand it.

Sure enough, only a few hours later, a set of ancient Egyptian-style alchemy equipment made of silver was delivered to Liang En by air.

After checking, he was surprised to find that this set of simple tools completely met the requirements for the tools used by the priests in ancient Egypt to make spices. It was exactly the same as what he remembered except that the tools were more refined and the silver was purer.

"It's unbelievable that you have completely imitated a set of medicine production equipment used by the ancient Egyptian god of life, Isis, in the Great Temple of Thebes." Liang En said after reading the words on the silver cauldron.

"Yes, this is a set of things collected in the warehouse of the Louvre Museum, which was unearthed from Thebes. We spent a lot of effort to conduct a comprehensive survey and map, and then made a 1:1 imitation of this set of equipment." John The vice president said proudly.

As one of the most famous extraordinary research organizations in Europe, Rosicrucian naturally also has its own strengths. For example, they are considered to be second to none in Europe in terms of alchemy.

Well, so purely from the research and accumulation of alchemy, there is no stronger organization in Europe than them, so naturally they can come up with some good things that have never been heard in other organizations.

After all the equipment was ready, Liang En started his work that night, not because he was in a hurry, but because if he wanted to completely follow the traditional method, the production must start on a moonlit night.

Well, the place where they are meeting now has clear skies for two days, so they can go directly to the next work without waiting.

"Okay, let's start." Liang En looked at the dozen or so cameras around him and said in Latin, and then completely switched to the state of an ancient Egyptian priest.

In the next three days, except for dealing with personal issues, he basically spent all of his time making spices, and as he was busy, spices were gradually prepared.

Because the tools are out of hand and the amount of raw materials is large, the final blend is a full liter of orange-red oil with a fragrant smell.

Although the oil does not look very beautiful in color, it smells very good, with a sweet fragrance that is obviously mixed with flowers.

Unlike most of the current perfumes, this perfume has a very soft smell, but it is very adhesive. After simply applying a little on the back of the hand, Liang En found that the smell would not dissipate for a long time. nice one.
