Chapter 51: Task Analysis of Wu Xiang Gong

  As expected, he put away the book of records in a short while, and Madame Wang walked in.

  This time she was much more polite to Chen Xiao, and even had two maidservants following behind her, holding two plates of fruit.

  When they saw Chen Xiao, Mrs. Wang said first: "Are you gentlemen in a hurry? Have some fruit first to moisten your throat."

  Watching Chen Xiao eat an apple, Madame Wang was finally satisfied. She first waved her hand to let the two maids put away the fruit and leave, then smiled warmly and said: "Chen Gongzi, today you can tell me the method of making that perfume, right?"

  It's nothing profound, Chen Xiao wouldn't keep it a secret. He immediately stood up and smiled: "Of course, of course, please sit down, Mrs. Wang."

  When Wang's wife sat down on the chair and picked up the pen and ink, Chen Xiao slowly said: "The method of making this perfume is extremely simple, but it is very complicated. Madam Wang must remember it carefully."

  After hearing Chen Xiao's words, Wang Furen became even more serious.

  All women would never refuse a method that makes themselves more beautiful, especially for women like Wang's wife who have a big family and business.

  Everything is ready, Chen Xiao slowed down his speech and said slowly: "First prepare a cup of flower petals cut into small pieces, yes, you must choose flowers with a stronger fragrance, such as jasmine or lavender, otherwise the effect of this method will not be very good."

  Madam Wang wrote it down as instructed and only asked after she finished writing, "How about the tea flower? I don't have any other flowers here. I don't like the scent of other flowers."

  What you don't like other flowers is because Xiang Chun only likes camellias, right? Hehe.

  Chen Xiao's heart was clear, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. As for the tea flower, he had come into contact with some of its medicinal properties during his previous research. This tea flower certainly has a fragrance, only some are strong and some are elegant, like the famous "Tea Fragrance Rose" which is named after its fragrance similar to that of tea flowers. This tea flower belongs to the maltose type, occasionally emitting a scent similar to baked bread, which is the fragrance emitted by the tea flower.

  Breathe in

  Your body smells like freshly baked bread, this is the rhythm of being eaten in one bite by someone...

  "Ah, suitable tea flowers for making perfume, there are about five kinds, namely: Wuzhu Dian Mountain Tea, Mengzi Lianxiang Tea, Youxian Oil Tea, Changban Duizhu Tea and Liuban Lianxiang Tea."

  Chen Xiao actually knew something about flower tea, and Mrs. Wang was suddenly surprised: "Master, you also understand tea flowers?"

  What are you waiting for if you don't pretend to be cool now?

  Chen Xiao smiled faintly and said, "I roughly understand, I roughly understand. In the past, I have studied the medicinal properties of this tea flower and had some contact with it. Haha, haha, of course, that's all I know, anything more than that, I'm not clear about."

  "Oh?"

  Madam Wang's interest was piqued, and she smiled as she asked, "Well, go on and tell us!" Although her mouth said one thing, her pen didn't stop moving, clearly ready to take notes.

  Chen Xiao smiled and said: "This five-column Yunnan tea is also called 'monkey wood', about 5-9 meters high, blooms white flowers in October to December, with numerous golden yellow stamens, having a strong fragrance, produced in Yunnan... En, that is, in the central and western counties of Dali, on mountain slopes and in thickets, occasionally distributed in the southwestern part of Zhongdian."

  After saying this, seeing that she had mentioned Dali herself, Mrs. Wang did not get angry, but only kept writing with her pen, and finally let out a long sigh.

  That's a big taboo for Madame Wang, don't mention it casually, she will get angry.

  "After introducing the five-column Yunnan tea, Chen Xiao continued to introduce the remaining four: "The Mengzi Lianrui tea is located in the central and southeastern parts of Dali. It blooms with white flowers from November to December of the following year, with a slight fragrance. The Youxian oil tea blooms with large white flowers from October to January of the following year, with a strong fragrance. The long-petaled short-column tea blooms with slightly fragrant white flowers in early spring, and its double-petaled white flower variety is called Pearl Tea. The Ryukyu Lianrui tea has white flowers that are fragrant and bloom from February to March. It's said to be native to the Ryukyu Islands, but whether it exists here or not, I don't know."

  Listening to Chen Xiao's detailed introduction, it seems that these things are not temporary fabrications. Especially the five pillars of Dian Mountain tea and Mengzi Lianyu tea, there is a kind in Mantou Shan Zhuang, presumably it's not a lie.

  Madam Wang now fully believed Chen Xiao's words, but she was in a difficult position: "But my Manderley Mountain Villa doesn't have any tea flowers that bloom at this time, what can be done about it?"

  Chen Xiao thought for a moment and replied: "Generally, lighter fragrances are better. Sometimes strong fragrances can easily trigger the other person's disgust."

  After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face finally turned joyful and she continued writing.

  Chen Xiao continued: "Take a large enough bowl, put a piece of gauze with relatively fine holes in the bowl - yeah, cotton cloth is fine. This cotton cloth should be large enough to hang over the edge of the bowl, put the flower petals inside, and pour water until it's just above the flower petals. Then find a plate or something to cover the bowl, and place it in a cool place for one to two days."

  "After that, take it out and use a cheesecloth to gently squeeze out the juice. The squeezed-out juice should already have a fragrant smell. Be careful not to squeeze too hard and get the flesh of the flower petals out as well."

  Then put the fragrant water in a clean pot and simmer over very low heat until only one small spoon is left, then add a small amount of Chinese liquor, and store it in an airtight bottle. This is the homemade perfume. Such perfume can be stored for about a month, remember to refrigerate it in the fridge.

  Chen Xiao spoke solemnly on this side, while Madame Wang noted it down even more carefully on the other side, fearing to write a single step incorrectly.

  Even after finishing writing everything, Mrs. Wang asked Chen Xiao to take another look, and there was no mistake, only then did she carefully put it away, looking like she had obtained a rare treasure.

  Having finished writing all these, Chen Xiao also felt a bit tired, so he sat down beside and casually picked up an apple to eat.

  Just as she was resting, Madame Wang looked at Chen Xiao twice and suddenly asked: "The young master's learning is quite complicated, I wonder who taught him?"

  This kind of problem was naturally not difficult for Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao took a bite of an apple and said, "I have many teachers, all kinds of them, mostly school teachers who taught me a little bit about astronomy, geography, mathematics, and calculation methods. However, I like medicine the most. Think about it, when I encounter someone in critical condition, I just take a look at him, prescribe some medicine, and he's cured! The feeling is just great!"

  It was amusing to hear Chen Xiao speak, and Madame Wang couldn't help but laugh along with him.

  She was originally extremely beautiful, and at this time she was in a great mood, so naturally she had a charming and elegant demeanor.

  Chen Xiao looked at this scene and was shocked all over, quickly turned his head away, and didn't dare to look again.

  This is an old witch, provoking her will get your eyes dug out.

  Madam Wang smiled for a while, then suddenly said: "Last night I was practicing a skill at home, but when I got halfway through, I suddenly didn't know how to continue. I always felt that something was wrong. Can you help me resolve my doubts?"

  What? Are you trying to test me?

  Chen Xiao said with a strange expression: "Madam Wang, I'm just a doctor, and I only know a little about health preservation and beauty care. As for martial arts, I don't understand it at all."

  Madam Wang spoke in a completely nonchalant tone, saying: "Actually, it's not some profound martial arts skill, it's just that my father has passed away and I don't want to ask anyone else in the manor, so I thought of asking you."

  "Oh..."

  Chen Xiao let out a long "oh" and asked: "Then why doesn't Wang Furen say something?"

  Madam Wang said: "I took nine light breaths and held my breath eight times yesterday. But suddenly I felt a little dizzy, saw stars in front of my eyes, and didn't know why."

  Just as Chen Xiao was about to respond, a cold voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

  It was actually the voice of...

  "Main quest activated. Quest: Analyze the Minor Void Technique. Reward for completion will be determined by evaluation. Penalty for failure: Deduct 10 years of cultivation. If cultivation is negative, direct annihilation."

  This... what Madam Wang said is actually a cultivation method for the Minor Infinity Technique?!
