　　 In Bulgaria in June, the roses have bloomed with smiles, the flowers are like small wine glasses, and the petals are blooming slightly in a spiral.
　　 looks glamorous and full of charm, gently close to it, take a deep breath, a faint fragrance comes out!
　　 "It is God's back garden!" Ferdinand sighed while looking at the roses blooming all over the mountains!
　　 a flash of inspiration, "Rose-rose essential oil, rose tea, rose tea!" Ferdinand suddenly laughed.
　　 "Sitting on Baoshan without knowing it!"
　　 Rose belongs to the deciduous shrub of Rosaceae, Rosaceae, Rosaceae, with thorny stems. Odd-pinnate compound leaves, 5-9 leaflets, elliptical, with edge spines, wrinkled on the surface, most of the stipules connate with the petiole. The flowers are singular and clustered, purple, pink, yellow, white and fragrant.
　　 Roses are both beautiful and fragrant. In addition to rich ornamental value, they are also good raw materials for scenting tea and extracting aromatic oils.
　　Rose tea is a mixture of fresh roses and the bud tips of tea leaves. It can also be made into rose tea. Its aroma is strong, light, and gentle.
　　 Rose flower is also a kind of precious medicinal material, beautifies the skin, clears the meridians, softens blood vessels, and has significant effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, hypertension, heart disease and gynecology.
　　 The effects of regulating liver and spleen, regulating qi and stomach, promoting blood circulation, invigorating blood circulation, warming the stomach and nourishing liver, preventing constipation, reducing irritation, astringent, and regulating menstruation. It is especially suitable for women with endocrine disorders and back pain.
　　In the previous life, Bulgaria was the world's largest rose oil exporter. Rose oil is the main raw material for making high-end perfumes. It has always been in short supply and has the reputation of "liquid gold".
　　 Bulgarian rose oil has been produced for more than two hundred years and there is no technical difficulty.
　　 As early as the 16th century, Bulgarians began to extract rose water from roses, and rose essential oil began to be produced in 1680.
　　 Beginning in the mid-18th century, Bulgarian rose oil was exported to Europe either by sea via Istanbul, Turkey, or by land via Bucharest, Romania and Vienna, Austria.
　　 Until the 19th century, the rose oil production in the Rose Valley of Bulgaria was carried out in the form of a family workshop.
　　 By the beginning of the 20th century, Bulgaria had become the world's largest rose oil producer. The main growing areas are Kazanlak, Karlov, Chepan, Stara and Nova Zagra.
　　 After entering the 20th century, Bulgaria's peak annual output was as high as 6000 kg. There are about 200,000 workers engaged in the rose production industry, which provides more than half of the world's rose oil demand.
　　 There are many varieties of Bulgarian roses. Bulgarian roses, Damascus roses, purple roses, floribunda roses, etc., are of high quality and are widely loved by people.
　　 Before Li Mu crossed the road, when he was mixing on Taobao, in order to sell inferior perfumes at high prices, he did not know much about this knowledge.
　　In a world with highly developed networks, the raw materials for perfume production are no secret. Rose essential oil is recognized as the best raw material for perfume production.
　　 In the 21st century, urban white-collar workers who have suffered from pesticides and fertilizers have begun to promote environmental protection, pure natural and pollution-free, and even a little frantic.
　　 believes that traditional and primitive crafts are the most environmentally friendly. For this reason, Li Mu also studied the production crafts of rose essential oil.
　　 Rose petals contain more oil, and the stamens also contain some oil, which can be extracted together with the petals. The methods of refining rose oil include: solvent extraction, distillation extraction, and carbon dioxide extraction.
　　In early Bulgaria, rose oil was extracted by distillation. Rose petals were obtained by steam distillation, but the oil yield of rose petals was very low, about 0.02-0.05% on average.
　　The rose must also be collected before the sun rises to the top of the mountain, otherwise it will lose its color and fragrance due to sunlight. The extraction of essential oils by solvent extraction in Bulgaria began in 1904. This extraction method increased production tenfold and has since become very common.
　　 In order to sell inferior perfumes at the price of high-end perfumes, Li Mu roughly memorized these processes, just to fool female customers who don’t understand.
　　Customer: "Boss, there is a problem with the perfume you sell!"
　　 Li Mu: "What is the problem? If it is the quality of the product itself, I will return it!"
　　Customer: "The fragrance is too weak, not as good as what I used to use!"
　　 Li Mu: "Oh, this is normal! Your perfume is purely natural and hand-made. The main raw material rose essential oil is artificially distilled and the concentration is naturally not comparable to chemically refined!"
　　 "You have always seen roses. Is the fragrance so strong? The perfume is too concentrated, so chemical additives must be added to it!"
　　Customer: "Really!"
Li Mu: "Of course, if you are not assured, you can go to the flower shop to smell the smell of roses. You can also check the information online, and Baidu will come out! If it is different from what I said, no matter if there are any problems, I return the goods unconditionally, and all the courier fees are counted as mine!"
　　Customer: "Oh, all right!"
　　……
　　 The above is the daily work of Ferdinand in his previous life. He was proud of the concept of environmental protection and green and went deep into his life. He took the opportunity to make a fortune. The half-dead Taobao store did not close.
　　 Rose essential oil has always been scarce, and the price remains high on the international market. Historically, the output value of Bulgarian rose oil was 900 kg in 1849, 1,500 kg in 1852, and the highest output value in 1905-1914 was 3, 000-6,000 kg.
　　 At that time, more than 70% of the roses that made perfumes and fragrances all over the world came from Bulgaria.
　　 It can be seen from the above data that the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century was the golden age of the development of the Bulgarian rose industry chain.
　　 Ferdinand calculated that once the rose industry chain is developed, it will become a new economic growth point for Bulgaria in the future.
　　 In 1891, although Bulgaria almost monopolized the supply of rose oil in the world, it had no pricing power.
　　The small family-style backward production method cannot unite to dominate the pricing power of the product. It was defeated by foreign capitalists one by one. A large amount of profits were occupied by international capital and had to be reduced to a source of raw materials.
　　 In addition to the above information, what impressed Ferdinand the most was "eat"! It seems that in the big food empire, the first reaction is to eat this thing? How is the taste?
　　 Eating roses was only carried forward in the big food empire, and then it was passed back to the Western world.
　　 For example, rose milk tea sago, it is said that it was developed for a female foodie, who wanted to lack raw materials with pearl milk tea.
　　 is made with a little sago, rose tea, a small amount of glutinous rice flour, matcha powder, cocoa powder, black tea, bayberry, mint leaves, etc. (The specific method is Baidu, the author is not a foodie, and does not care about the method!)
　　 There are also rose porridge and rose dew, and even stir-fried roses, deep-fried roses, and soup with roses. (Oh, the author has also eaten rose pancakes, the taste is endless-it is comparable to looking up at the starry sky pie!) There are many ways to do it, there is nothing impossible, only unexpected.
　　 (I sent out the early morning book in advance, too tired, the author doesn’t want to stay up late!!! Good night)
