The lights are on.

When King Yu was humming a song and went home, he happened to see his wife lying in the small hall, and a maid was giving her a facial massage.

My son next to her was also talking to her.

"father!"

When he saw him, Liu Mingqi took the lead in saying hello.

"Mingqi, why are you here for free?" With the help of the maid, King Yu took off his coat and asked casually: "I'm still waiting for your sugar!"

"It will take some time. After all, I need to teach Qiaolian step by step to let her know each process and key points." Liu Mingqi replied.

Except for the parents, the remaining maids here are all born in the family, and their parents and relatives are also in the mansion, so there is no need to worry about leaking the secrets.

"All right!"

King Yu nodded and looked at his wife, "Madam, what are you doing? What are she smearing?"

"Oh, this is the plum blossom essential oil made by Qi'er. It will have a good maintenance effect when applied to your face. Don't you smell the fragrance here?" Princess Yu said with her eyes closed.

"No wonder, I said why can you still smell the fragrance of plum blossoms this season." King Yu laughed, "Okay, I'll go take a shower first and come out before talking about it."

"Dad, why don't you give it a try too?"

Liu Mingqi suddenly said.

"Huh?" King Yu was stunned, looking at his son pointing at his wife's face, and laughed unconsciously: "I am a big man, why are you doing this?"

"That's not." Liu Mingqi shook her head and said, "On weekdays, people think they have washed their faces, but in fact, there is still a lot of dirt that has not been washed, and it accumulates on the face, which makes it easy to develop sores, redness, swelling, etc. This is the same for both men and women."

Yu Wang said: "Don't you have soap now? Every time I wash my face with soap, I feel very refreshed."

Liu Mingqi pulled him down on the recliner next to her mother, "That's not enough. You can give it a try today to ensure you have a second thought."

"I……"

"What am I? My son is filial, just enjoy it! This massage with plum blossom essential oil is really comfortable!" Princess Yu interrupted her man impatiently.

"All right!"

When King Yu thought about it, he wanted to take care of his son's filial piety, but he couldn't refuse stubbornly.

The maid standing by the side immediately followed her. She had done it for Princess Yu before, so she was naturally familiar with it.

She first soaked a towel into the hot water basin, and then carefully wiped King Yu. After repeated twice, she covered her face for a while before she began to apply plum blossom essential oil on King Yu's face.

"Yeah, it's so cool...oh...good..."

With the maid's smear and massage, King Yu, who had fallen into one of the highest enjoyments of another era, immediately praised him.

Then, before the time for an incense stick came, he fell asleep sweetly and made a loud snoring sound.

"Haha, it turns out that men are the same." Princess Yu, who already has a certain degree of immunity, chuckled when she saw this, "Son, where did you know these things, and such massage and maintenance methods?"

"I don't know, after almost drowning, I woke up and had a lot of things in my mind." Liu Mingqi has been using this excuse recently to tell things.

However, Princess Yu never doubted it. She just thought that her son was attached to God and gave him the skills that ordinary people did not have.

It was not surprising that ancient people had such an idea.

Stop talking about them, isn’t modern people the same?

Even in 2020, the temples and Taoist temples in every place were basically overcrowded.

"Thank God, all the gods and Buddhas have let you survive the disaster and you will have good luck." Princess Yu's tone was full of excitement and joy.

To this day, she still can't forget the situation when she watched her son be taken up by Dazhu and brought him home.

That kind of despair made her faint immediately. If King Yu hadn't woken up and told her that her son had woken up, she would probably have found an opportunity to just stop herself and go with her son.

Therefore, Princess Yu is so grateful to the gods and Buddhas who saved her son.

From Liu Mingqi's awakening to the present, Princess Yu has worshipped at least 10,000 taels of silver in the famous Daxiangguo Temple, Baoen Temple, Puji Temple, Yuhuang Temple, Laojun Temple and other places. The luxury of the work is so famous.

After calming down, Princess Yu asked, "Qi'er, do you think the plum blossom essential oil you made can be sold to those ladies?"

"Mom, are you so short of money?" Liu Mingqi said in surprise.

"No, it's rare that you're enlightened. If you can make the flower essential oil a product and sell it, wouldn't we have another treasure?" said Princess Yu, "Mom has been using it for almost ten days. She feels that her face is getting more and more moisturized. It's even more refreshing to apply it on her body occasionally. It would be strange if they don't snatch such good things!"

After a pause, she said, "Is it because the production of plum blossom essential oil is not large, it is only enough for me to use?"

"Not this." Liu Mingqi shook her head, "I still have a lot in my hands now."

The main raw material of plum blossom essential oil is naturally glycerin, and it is natural glycerin.

Natural glycerin comes from the residual oil and liquid after boiling lard. After a series of purification, concentration, distillation, decolorization and deodorization, the finished product is obtained.

This is something you can drink.

Because the production of soap is getting more and more day by day, the natural glycerin separated is increasing, and Liu Mingqi has already exceeded 300 kilograms.

He soaked the plum blossom petals in winter in the purified natural glycerin, took it out and filtered it after half a month, and then obtained the plum blossom glycerin.

According to this method, you can actually get rose essential oil, peony essential oil, rose essential oil, etc., which will not repeat the same every year.

Therefore, Liu Mingqi saw that she had stored too much, so she made a pound of plum blossom essential oil for her mother so that she could use it in daily life.

After all, if you use rouge and water powder on weekdays, there are still many damages to the skin on your face. It is absolutely necessary to repair it with natural glycerin.

But in fact, Liu Mingqi kept the essential oils, and the purpose was definitely not to store them to make money, but to make modern people frightened - to create bombs.

As a double doctor in physics and chemistry, Liu Mingqi is familiar with the ratio and production process of many explosives, but she has not tried it in her previous life.

Anyway, life is so long, and you don’t have to run around for life. After seeing glycerin, the boy remembered the thought that flashed through his previous life.

Although it is cumbersome and dangerous to create bombs, Liu Mingqi feels that it should be no problem if she is fully prepared.

If you are really worried, then will you be fine if you go to the prison cell to take the most dangerous step?

But now my mother talks about selling flower essential oils, which is not boring.

The political situation of the Dakang Dynasty was stable, and the emperor always treated the children of the royal family with preferential treatment. I think the prince and his next generation would not be able to take a big fuss to deal with the royal family.

So except for the lack of power to rule the royal family, everything else is fine.

But if you want to live a good life, you have to work hard. Otherwise, after three or five generations, your descendants will be reduced to viscounts and live with hundreds of taels of silver and tens of thousands of kilograms of grain a year. Wouldn't it be very hard to do it?

You should not be in a hurry to make explosives. So much natural glycerin accumulates is also a waste, so it is better to take it out and exchange it for silver.

Princess Yu was unhappy when she heard her son's words, "If it is calculated based on a bottle and a pound, how much is its cost?"

Liu Mingqi immediately shook her head: "Mom, if you sell it to the outside, you can use a bottle of two taels at most!"

"Two liang? Is it too little?" Princess Yu frowned slightly.

"There are quite a lot of things, and we can't buy them outside. They are the only ones we use. They usually apply them to their faces. Except for you, Mother, few people are qualified to use them to apply them to their bodies." Liu Mingqi said firmly.

He couldn't tell his mother that the cosmetics businessmen in another world were extremely stingy in targeting those precious cosmetics.

For example, Lancome's small black bottle, needless to mention the fifty milliliters, they actually have a twenty milliliter version, which is less than five cents.

Even those noble ladies come to buy it, I have never heard of them specially customized 500 ml packs.

Seeing Princess Yu still hesitating, Liu Mingqi said again: "Mom, the more things like this, the less valuable it is, the more Jin Kui looks. If you sell soy sauce, you can only sell one or two pounds at any time. How can you afford a good price?"

Princess Yu's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Yes! Son, you're right!"

As long as you can make a lot of money, the small bottle is perfect!

"You haven't said how much the cost is?" Princess Yu said again, "If the cost is too high, will it affect sales?"

"Natural glycerin costs almost no cost." Liu Mingqi said, "It is a kind of oil separated during soap extraction, but it only takes a little effort to deal with it afterwards. If you have to calculate the overall cost, it will cost five cents of silver per pound."

The refining of natural glycerin is a little more complicated, but because of the relatively small amount, it does not take too much time and manpower to do it. Moreover, the more it is made, the thinner the cost will be. Maybe it will cost a pound of silver.

"Scared, is this oil on the pig?" Princess Yu immediately showed a disgust.

The pork in this world is not eaten by the nobles, because the feeding methods and slaughtering methods are different. The pork is very smelly and unpalatable, which means that the ordinary people have no money to buy it for a tooth sacrifice.

Rich families usually eat chicken, duck, geese, fish, mutton, and beef.

When I thought about what I applied to my face and body, I actually got it from such a dirty and smelly pig, Princess Yu felt disgusting, which was not surprising at all.

As well as the maids next to them, they also showed surprise on their faces.

They never expected that such precious and fragrant plum blossom essential oil would have something to do with such a dirty pig.

...

Note: In ancient times, my country was far ahead of the world in the use of cosmetics. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were various ways of makeup. The "Pink, White, Black, Shi Fangze" written by Qu Yuan is a proof.

During the Tang Dynasty, makeup reached its peak, with more than 20 lipsticks alone, and the emperor often gave lipstick derived from lipstick for ministers.

At the same time, the makeup steps of ancient women are similar to those of modern times. First, they should use rice powder and lead powder to apply whitening, then use rouge to paint thrush, lipstick to apply lips, and yellow forehead to apply to the forehead. Every night, makeup remover water is rice washing water, or scented with various materials to wash.
