Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 171 Making Fragrance Lip Balm Rouge Shampoo

For the past few days, the Dali Temple seemed to be busy with some old cases and did not appear much.

An Qiao sat in the yard every day, studying those scented lip balms. Fortunately, she loved to study these things in modern times, otherwise she would not have been able to make anything.

In fact, these things are neither simple nor difficult.

I tried several methods, such as liposuction, cold soaking, steaming, frying...

Liposuction requires the use of oil to be absorbed slowly, but I don’t know if it was because the temperature was not high enough or for some other reason, but it ended in failure.

An Qiao remembered that the cold brew method would take several months or even one or two years. Now time waits for no one, so this method can be used to brew the tea, which will add a new fragrance. But now she doesn't know whether it has failed or not.

In the end, Anqiao decided to use her favorite pots and pans to complete the task.

Frying method: pour fresh flowers or desired spices into the pan, add tea oil, stir-fry quickly, fry over low heat to bring out the aroma, and filter out the oil.

But some flowers cannot stand being fried and get burnt easily, so An Qiao tried steaming them.

This steaming method was learned by An Qiao when she was in the palace. Many concubines and even maids in the palace knew how to use fragrance.

Everyone has their own dream, but the target is almost the same person.

So An Qiao even learned all the popular scents at that time.

Put flowers, spices and oil in a sealed jar and steam them. After about half an hour, add spices and flowers. Repeat several times and then remove the residue.

The steamed food produced in this way is not greasy and will not make people feel uncomfortable, but is more suitable for making fragrance.

Anqiao tried several kinds of ingredients. Harder ingredients like tea leaves and citrus fruits can be fried, but their taste will change if they are steamed.

Flowers like roses and jasmine are suitable for steaming.

The prepared perfume can be added to soap, lip balm, and rouge.

Lip rouge is even easier. In the Internet era, many short video tracks are produced every day. An Qiao quickly compiled a batch based on her memory.

In addition, An Qiao also thought about opening a DIY incense-making area in the future, so that people can take the finished incense back to burn.

The most troublesome thing is the body lotion.

Rich families who use body lotion usually seek prescriptions from Chinese medicine practitioners. The medicine is ground according to each person's skin condition, then boiled with lard, and becomes body lotion after solidifying.

For poor people, even washing their faces is a problem, let alone wearing this kind of clothes.

What Anqiao wants to do is to have both high-end and low-end products.

It would be best if we could cater to all markets.

For this purpose, An Qiao specifically went to many clinics and got a lot of prescriptions. After all, a woman's face has always been very important in every era.

An Qiao doesn't dare to prescribe medicines that are too strong. Most of them are mild and nourishing. If there are any special skin needs, they cannot be met.

When An Qiao filled the table with bottles and jars, she called all the young ladies in the store over, and everyone was shocked.

"Young lady, what are you doing?" Lichun was a little surprised.

There are so many bottles and jars. Could they be the new food that the young lady has researched?

"These are the body lotions I developed. I made a bottle based on each person's characteristics. You can take it home and try it." An Qiao said with a smile, "But if you experience any itching or pain, don't use it."

She just wanted to try the lotion, she didn't want to disfigure the children.

"Come on, Lixia, you face cooking fumes every day, so cleanliness is more important. It would be good to use this moisturizing product after washing with soap.

The autumn wind comes and goes every day but I have never seen it. It should be because of dry skin that this tonic is used.

There is also a whitening one, let’s give it to the rainwater. If it is whitened, the rainwater in our house will be beautiful and responsive to all.

The rest basically have these three functions. You can choose according to your needs. The left side is nourishing, the middle is hydrating, and the right side is whitening.

Although they all have the same three functions, I used different Chinese herbs. You can try them out when you take them home." After An Qiao distributed the body lotion, she also distributed the lip balm she had recently made.

And shampoo.

It was made by boiling several medicinal herbs recommended by the doctor, including Platycladus orientalis leaves, angelica sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, Sapindus mukorossi, mulberry leaves, and Gleditsia sinensis.

After cooking for an hour, boil it in a large pot.

It must be said that the smell is refreshing, even more fragrant than many shampoos that An Qiao bought in modern times.

After cooking, put it in a bamboo tube. An Qiao tried it several times and found that it was indeed much cleaner than washing the soap nuts directly.

"Wow, girl, how did you make so many things?" Qiufen looked at everything in front of him. Not only did he make it, but he also distributed it to everyone.

"I'm going to sell these in my new shop, just like tasting food. You can take them back and try them out first to see if they're any good." An Qiao replied nonchalantly.

Everyone only knew that the young lady wanted to buy soap, but no one expected that she had so many other things.

……

After a few more days, Anqiao finally got the user experience he wanted, and most people thought it was quite useful.

The mildest ones didn't cause any allergic irritation, so An Qiao decided to sell the mildest ones first.

Apart from the lakeside house which has not yet been planned, the only things I have to worry about now are the decoration and the shop in the market. Do I really have to sell agricultural and sideline products?

I don’t know how the sales there are, but An Qiao always feels that it is definitely not as good as in Kyoto Prefecture. Is that shop going to be a loss?

Moreover, these things also need people to make them, so we have to buy a group of people who can do these miscellaneous tasks and send them all to the farm.

When An Qiao was building the soap factory, he thought that there would definitely be other things that needed to be made, so he left an empty factory building. It should be possible to make all these things in one room.

There is no need to keep these things secret, because they are not unique secrets. Most of them were collected by An Qiao from Chinese medicine clinics and various places. They are no more confidential than soap.

After thinking it through, An Qiao went out.

This time, he bought eight maids, almost all of whom were good at work. Since they had the indentures, An Qiao was not afraid that they would run away in the middle of the work.

After all, in this era, if a slave ran away, as long as the master reported the case to the authorities, she would be beheaded no matter where she went.

That day, An Qiao asked Dong Zhi and Da Han to send the old women away together.

When she first started buying people, An Qiao still had a lot of distrust, but now she trusts Shen Yaren very much. After all, the two of them have been working together for so long.

She didn't want to buy someone to take charge of things, she just wanted to buy some people to do the work. As long as they were not lazy, everything would be fine.

An Qiao explained Dahan and Dongzhi several times, fearing that the two of them would miss something that should be said. Four of the eight maids had done this kind of work before, so there was no need to worry about not being able to do it.

An Qiao handed the method to four women who had done the job before, and told them that they only needed to focus on doing this one thing every day.
