The days when I was farming and chasing my wife in ancient timesgl

Apart from paying New Year's greetings to Mrs. Li during the Spring Festival, Han Jinyu doesn't seem to have any relatives to leave.There were a few relatives in her memory, but when she and Brother Nian were kicked out by Li Shi in this way, they all chose to turn a blind eye, and she naturally didn't regard them as existing.

After Han Jinyu came back, she told Mother Liu that Mrs. Li had agreed to her marriage with Liu Yiyi, and she would go to the town to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage after the new year. This was undoubtedly the first good news for Mother Liu at the beginning of the new year. When Liu Yiyi's marriage was settled, she felt at ease.

Liu Yiyi was in Han Jinyu's yard today looking at the set of tools she asked someone to build. She knew the steamer and basin. As for "Zhen", it was the first time she had seen it in her life.

Han Jinyu told her that she specially asked someone to build it, and showed Liu Yiyi the blueprint, telling her what role this tool plays in this and how these three should be used together.

This is a simple "distiller", and Han Jinyu told Liu Yiyi the principle of the "distillation method" and the "perfume" she will use it to produce next.

After listening to Han Jinyu's introduction and lecture, Liu Yiyi basically understood what was going on, but could it really produce the magical perfume that Han Jinyu was talking about?

She knew that Han Jinyu often had some weird ideas, but she didn't know that her mind was so wide open.

While the two were still studying this set of tools in the yard, Han Jinyu heard Sun Yizhi's door calling.

Han Jinyu had previously lent 1000 taels of silver to Sun Yizhi to help Dongniang redeem her death, and Sun Yizhi and Dongniang were married.After getting married, Sun Yizhi was still telling stories in the teahouse, while Dongniang took on some embroidery work to make up for the day.

Sun Yizhi does not dare to spend as much money as before. In addition to the large sum of money he borrowed from Han Jinyu, he also borrowed some from a few friends. Although the amount is not large, it still needs to be slowed down. Pay it back slowly.

He planned to pay off these fragmentary debts first, and Han Jinyu, as the biggest creditor, put it last.

It's just a new year, and he thought that he owed Han Jinyu such a big favor, so he brought Dongniang to come to visit for a New Year's greeting.

Han Jinyu opened the door, and saw a young and beautiful woman standing beside Sun Yizhi. She was wearing a lady's bun, her willow eyebrows were raised slightly, and there was a mole in the corner of her eye. She looked very amorous.

Han Jinyu thought to herself, this must be that Dongniang, and finally she knew why she was so fascinated by Sun Yizhi that she couldn't find her.

Han Jinyu welcomed the two into the living room and sat down. Liu Yiyi had already prepared tea, melon and fruit snacks to greet the guests.

Sun Yizhi was amazed when he saw Liu Yiyi, but he thought that Han Jinyu hadn't married yet, this one?

Seeing the doubt in Sun Yizhi's eyes, Han Jinyu introduced, "This is my fiancée, Mrs. Liu Yiyiliu. We are neighbors. It's Chinese New Year. Come and see if you have nothing to do."

Well, I'm going to get engaged anyway, so it's right to say that she's my fiancée.

Liu Yiyi blushed and cast a glance at Han Jinyu. She didn't know that Han Jinyu would directly introduce herself as her fiancee, so naturally Liu Yiyi would not open her mouth to refute Han Jinyu.

"It turns out they are younger siblings. Jinyu is really lucky that the younger siblings are so beautiful." Sun Yizhi turned around and introduced, "This is Dong Niang from the family, and I specially brought her here to pay New Year's greetings."

"Sister-in-law, happy new year. Brother Yi has mentioned you a lot before, and now I can finally see you."

"Brother Jinyu laughed at you. You have shown me and my husband a kindness. This kindness is unforgettable. It is really rude to delay coming to thank you until now."

Dongniang stood up gracefully, and saluted Han Jinyu gracefully.

"Sister-in-law can't do this. Brother Yi also showed kindness to me before. If he is in trouble, I should help him. Such a great gift is absolutely unacceptable."

Han Jinyu hurriedly got up to return the salute.

Han Jinyu left them at home to finish their lunch before going back. Naturally, Liu Yiyi also prepared the lunch.

While pushing cups and changing cups, Sun Yizhi told Han Jinyu that Dongniang was pregnant at this time, so he was naturally happy, but after having a child, the expenses would definitely be more, so he repeatedly said that there was no way to pay back Han Jinyu's money so quickly, He was really embarrassed, and hoped that Han Jinyu would be more forgiving.

Han Jinyu knew Sun Yizhi's difficulties, so naturally he wouldn't argue with him.It's just that Sun Yizhi mentioned children, and she seemed to have thought of a problem. After Liu Yiyi and her got married, they would naturally have no children in the future. I don't know if Liu Yiyi would feel regretful?

After Han Jinyu sent Sun Yizhi and his wife back home, he started to clean up the dishes on the table. After Liu Yiyi prepared lunch for them, he went back to his courtyard.

Because she and Han Jinyu were not married after all, naturally they couldn't entertain them as hosts.

Just now Dongniang was going to help Han Jinyu clean up the dinner table, but she was just a guest and she was pregnant, so Han Jinyu was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped her.

After the Lantern Festival, Han Jinyu wrote a grass post to find a matchmaker in the town, and asked her to send her to Liu Yiyi's home to propose marriage.

The matchmaker came to Liu Yiyi's house and told Mother Liu that she was proposing marriage on behalf of Han Jinyu, and exchanged posts between the two to confirm the marriage.

When Aunt Gao found out about this, she was even happier than her son getting married, so she almost wept with joy.

Han Jinyu first asked someone to make a list of the betrothal gifts to be prepared, and then asked the master in the temple to pick an auspicious day based on the horoscopes of her and Liu Yiyi's birthdays.

Han Jinyu's auspicious day is April 28, three months later, so their marriage is not rushed.

The next step is to accept the contract, give the engagement gift and the betrothal gift, and Liu Yiyi needs to start sewing a wedding dress for herself.

Han Jinyu asked someone to send the dowry to Liu Yiyi's house, this stage is commonly known as the completion of the engagement.

The Liu family received a dowry, so they had to return it, and these gifts were considered one of Liu Yiyi's dowry.

Considering the situation in Liu Yiyi's family, Han Jinyu secretly transferred 100 taels of silver to Liu Yiyi's mother for Liu Yiyi's dowry.

Liu's mother was originally unwilling to accept it, but she knew the situation at Han Jinyu's main house. Although she had saved some dowry for Liu Yiyi over the years, her ability was limited, so she didn't have much.If their family can't come up with a decent dowry, then not only Liu Yiyi will be despised, but even Han Jinyu will be ashamed.

Liu's mother accepted it after much deliberation, and she gave all the money to Liu Yiyi to buy a dowry.

When these pre-marriage rules and customs are almost completed, Han Jinyu and Liu Yiyi only need to wait for the big day to come.

Seeing that there was still some time before the wedding date, Han Jinyu began to research her perfume.

Han Jinyu first bought a large amount of charcoal, and then ordered several kinds of fresh flowers from the flower farmers who ordered years ago. The main reason is to buy more jasmine flowers, because the price of jasmine flowers is relatively low, and it will not cost money to use them for research.

You must know that after the jasmine is purchased, its petals need to be picked first, washed and dried, usually a large basket of flowers can extract a few drops of essential oil.

Han Jinyu used the distillation method through the "distiller" she asked someone to build according to the steps previously formulated. After repeated experiments and wasting several batches of flowers, she finally succeeded in extracting the "Xiang Ninglu" she wanted. It's essential oils.

When you have essential oils, what you have to consider is the preservation time of perfume.

If you simply use water to dilute, then the shelf life of this bottle of perfume is only a few days.If you want to sell it, it's impossible.

If you want to enhance the preservation time, then you have to add alcohol to it.

Naturally, there is no alcohol in this era, and alcohol can also be extracted by distillation.

Distilling alcohol is relatively simple. First, take ordinary wine and cook it, collect the steam and then cool it with water. This process is called simple distillation.

Then find a black opaque bottle with a lid, add the essential oil dropwise to the alcohol, stir slowly, make sure the essential oil is completely integrated into the alcohol, and then put the bottle in a cool, dry place for two days.

Two days later, add water, stir again to make it blend, and then put it in a cool, dry place for two or three days.

Finally, filter the solution and bottle it for use.

Like this, Han Jinyu shut herself up in her own courtyard before her big wedding, and Liu Yiyi even prepared three meals a day and brought them over.

She is constantly doing her experiments, from how many flowers are needed each time to how much essential oil can be extracted.Then to the amount of essential oil that needs to be added, water and alcohol for dilution, including time.

Repeated adjustments until the amount of materials needed for each level was adjusted to what she thought was the most accurate amount, and then the first bottle of perfume in this era was finally born in her hands.

After Han Jinyu finished her first bottle of perfume, her heart was undoubtedly excited. You must know how important the meaning of this bottle of perfume is to her, it is really worthwhile for her to invest a lot of time and money.

A while ago, because of her engagement, she bought a bed and other things, as well as various expenses for the upcoming wedding banquet.In addition, the recent research expenses have drained a lot of money from her small coffers, and she still has to keep some as capital and buy a house.If it fails this time, it may take another year or a half to start the experiment next time.

If others heard Han Jinyu's thoughts before, they would definitely laugh at her as a fantasy.But Liu Yiyi didn't hit her. She just told her that she would unconditionally support Han Jinyu in whatever she wanted to do, even if she failed.

The first bottle of perfume produced by Han Jinyu was naturally given to Liu Yiyi. When Han Jinyu brought her perfume to Liu Yiyi, Liu Yiyi did not dare to imagine that Han Jinyu really put the "perfume" in her mouth like this. Made it.
