Chapter 58 Research Begins
Jiang Chengfeng didn't see Young Master Zhao come to class the whole morning, so after lunch, he returned to his own courtyard.
He found two larger clover flowers in the yard, plucked their branches and leaves, crushed them, and put the green juice in a large bottle. Then he picked a few roses, crushed their petals, and put the meager juice in a small bottle.
Jiang Chengfeng frowned as he looked at the flowerbed in the courtyard. There weren't many roses in the flowerbed, but to make a bottle of perfume, at least 100 to 180 kilograms of petals were needed, which was obviously not enough. However, perhaps Uncle Wen could help.
As for the extraction of essences, in this era, there are no high-tech solvents, so we can only use the clumsy method of squeezing, but the cost increases.
After tinkering with the recipe according to his memory for a while, Jiang Chengfeng went to have dinner. When he came back, the two juices had almost settled.
Then, he carefully poured the clover juice into a small dish, and then carefully dipped a drop of rose juice from the small bottle with chopsticks and placed it in the clover juice.
When the rose juice was mixed with the green juice of the clover, the pungent smell was reduced a lot, but it still did not meet Jiang Chengfeng's requirements.
Then, another drop of rose juice.
Now, the pungent smell of clover is gone, and there is a faint rose scent.
Jiang Chengfeng was overjoyed, it seemed that his research direction was correct.
Then, Jiang Chengfeng added rose juice again, and the fragrance gradually became stronger, but unlike rouge and powder, it did not make people feel cloying.
In a short while, the whole room was filled with the rich fragrance of roses. Jiang Chengfeng was intoxicated by it and felt very happy!
He seemed to see a golden lucky cat!
Boom——
A muffled sound was heard, and Jiang Chengfeng turned around abruptly, and what came into his sight was Meng Jianglin's charming face.
Jiang Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief. When did this girl come in? Why was there no sound? But when you think about it, martial arts masters seem to be elusive.
I glanced out the window and saw that it was already dusk. I didn't expect that this busy work would take nearly two hours. "Why are you here?"
"I come whenever I want, why should I care?"
"Did you climb over the wall?"
"None of your business!"
Meng Jianglin always looked cold as ice, even every word he uttered was cold.
"Ms. Meng, you are a well-educated woman. Don't you know to knock on the door before entering?" Jiang Chengfeng glared at her unhappily.
This woman must be taught a lesson. If she shows up in the middle of the night like last time, she will be frightened to death even if she doesn't have a heart attack. Most importantly, the secret formula of the perfume is top secret. Her future fortune depends on it.
"Your door was already open, why should I knock?"
"Okay, okay! It's my fault!" Jiang Chengfeng didn't want to argue with her and surrendered directly, "But there can't be a next time, otherwise I will..."
As he said this, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Meng Jianglin couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then quickly returned to his cold look.
"I've never smelled this kind of fragrance before!" Meng Jianglin glanced at the small plate in Jiang Chengfeng's hand.
She was a rich lady, so what kind of rouge and powder had she not seen? But she had never smelled this kind of fragrance before, which was a bit similar to the rouge and powder used by women, but not like it. This fragrance was fragrant but not greasy, and it was very refreshing. She liked it very much.
"Doesn't it smell good?" Jiang Chengfeng smiled slyly. He was thinking about who to find to be a guinea pig, but he didn't expect that this girl would fall into the trap herself.
Meng Jianglin pondered for a moment, then said, "This fragrance is light, not strong, and very clean. If it were lighter, I would like it even more!"
The saying "knowing a woman by her scent" originally meant that one could tell certain characteristics of a woman's personality based on the type of perfume she liked.
For example, women who pursue subtle fragrance mostly focus on spiritual life, while those who like strong fragrance are women who have strong needs in certain aspects.
Now it seems that Meng Jianglin is the fresh and clean type.
"I saw you were busy before. What ? And what's that in your hand?"
Jiang Chengfeng was stunned. It seemed that this girl had not just arrived, but had obviously been here for some time.
"Just think of it as a cosmetic for you women! But it's not finished yet. When it's finished, I'll give you some!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Meng Jianglin's eyes, and then he returned to normal.
"Wait! What are you doing here? Do you miss me?" Jiang Chengfeng smiled slyly, staring at Meng Jianglin with shining eyes.
Meng Jianglin's cheeks turned red, and he glared at Jiang Chengfeng, "You are always talking nonsense! If you do this again, I won't come!"
After saying this, Meng Jianglin felt his cheeks getting hotter. He didn't know what was going on. His usual self-control was completely gone in front of this guy. Every time he saw him, he always lost his composure.
After thinking for a while, Meng Jianglin took out a booklet from his arms and threw it to Jiang Chengfeng casually, "This is for you!"
Jiang Chengfeng took the booklet with body temperature and a faint fragrance, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"You kept asking me how to get in before. If you learn this, you can be like me!" Meng Jianglin said calmly.
Jiang Chengfeng was puzzled, and immediately opened the booklet, and found that it seemed to be a sword manual, like some kind of martial arts secret book. And judging from the paper material and the degree of yellowing, it should be 40 to 50 years old. I just don't know how much it can be sold for if it is auctioned?
"Why don't you speak?" Meng Jianglin asked.
Jiang Chengfeng reluctantly handed the booklet to Meng Jianglin and sighed, "I do want to learn, but as you can see, I am not young anymore and have missed the best age to practice martial arts! There is no point in practicing this sword manual anymore!"
Meng Jianglin was silent.
In fact, she also knew that Jiang Chengfeng's current physical condition was not suitable for martial arts. At most, he could only practice some external martial arts to protect himself. Behind this sword manual, there was a set of simple and easy-to-learn boxing manuals, which were coveted by many martial artists. She had tried every means to find it, but this guy didn't appreciate it.
"You don't know how to live in harmony with the world and are always causing trouble! Learn some external martial arts, maybe you can protect yourself!" Meng Jianglin advised.
Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly, "Ms. Meng, we are not the same kind of people. You are a martial arts master, and I am just an ordinary person! And my ideal is just to live an ordinary life, and I don't want to get involved in disputes!"
Meng Jianglin was stunned and had to take it back, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
