Chapter 35: Introducing mints

The emergence of stamping machines, cutting machines and grinding machines can certainly improve efficiency, but it is still a little too late to change the world fundamentally.
After all, large-scale industrial production is not yet possible.
The greatest contribution of these three machines was to Tang En, because the core was the magic that Tang En constructed.
The constant floatation above the ram is added with the gravitational amplification magic array that judges the conditions. The stability of the cutter and friction wheel can be adjusted to adjust the cyclone magic array ...
Except for Tang En, which magician will do these things?
Those who are willing to do so are incapable and capable but will not do so, so these things can only be done by Tang En.
The time to really change the times is when all magicians are willing to do these popular magic applications.
"In the past two days, you produced those agricultural tools, and then you have other things to do."
Tang En grinned: "Since you said you want to mingle with me, don't blame me for making you too tired. Let me say in advance that your recent tasks are very heavy."
"No problem, rest assured, big brother!"
Brian promised under the continuous shooting chest: "The task will definitely give you a beautiful finish."
Originally tedious tasks, with the addition of these three machines became extremely easy, of course, Brian they can easily complete.
Edgar certainly didn't say anything, not to say that it was the order of the lord, and the value of the Auchenite ingot given to him by Tang En was enough for them to work for more than ten years.
"Okay, I'll come back the day after tomorrow, I hope you can complete all the work ... Well, get me some iron ingots."
By the time Donn left, Brian and Edgar had already begun their fiery work.
What is Tang En going to do? Of course, I went back to research Mint!
He has another bet with Fiona!
After returning to the bedroom, Tang En shook his head secretly.
"It doesn't work without an alchemy laboratory. In the future, many experiments may require the use of an alchemy laboratory, so take the time to set up one."
Although it took time to establish one, it is still a problem when it is established, because many tools and materials of Alchemy Lab cannot be obtained by Ellington. To build it as soon as possible, in addition to waiting for Ellington to develop, You can only consider buying in person in other cities.
The matter of the alchemy laboratory was temporarily put on hold, and Tang En held up a piece of mint and groaned.
The value of mint is based on its essential oils, except for its consumption. Therefore, if peppermint is to exert its economic value, it must have a low-cost and effective method for extracting essential oils.
What Tang En knows is only the distillation condensation method, which just happens to belong to this kind.
Neither the distiller, the condenser, or the subsequent separation of water and essential oils has too high technical content. The biggest difference between distillation methods is in water distillation, water distillation and steam distillation-but for Tang En For the time being, it makes no difference.
"Try it first."
After Tangen roughly recalled the structure of the still and condenser, he started to do it.
The iron ingot brought back from Edgar was quickly stretched and twisted under the action of magic, and soon became a hollow still, and the other side of the condenser tube was smoothly formed.
"It still looks good on glass."
Tang En's pinch, of course, the iron distiller and condenser are not easy to use on earth, but it doesn't matter here. Under the action of magic, both heating and condensation are very simple and convenient.
He took some water from the air and introduced it into the still, added an appropriate amount of mint leaves, connected the condenser tube to the container, and he started heating directly.
The magic array below the distiller radiates heat steadily, and the water inside soon starts to roll up. At this time, Tang En activates the magic array covering the condensation tube. The ice magic array is derived from the water magic array. The variant, under the adjustment of Tang En, stably and lastingly reduces the temperature, and the condensation effect can shake off more than a dozen streets of condensation equipment on the earth.
Under the personal operation of Tang En, this simple set of equipment took only a few minutes to make a can of semi-finished products.
Tang En smelled the fragrance in the jar, and raised his eyebrows: "So high oil output?"
The quality of peppermint here is unexpectedly good. After the bag of peppermint is distilled, the water on it is removed, and almost three liters of pure dew and one liter of essential oil are steamed out.
This oil output rate is unimaginable on the earth ...
Looking at the separated dew and essential oil, Tang En felt his chin in deep thought.
If the plant oil output rate is so high in Prandall, isn't it necessary to use flowers to extract essential oils for perfume? This seems to be a way to make money ... [e1]
"Lord Lord, what did you say ... what smell?"
As soon as Fiona opened the door, she was smoked by the smell coming out of her face, her eyes were almost black and she almost fell to the ground.
As soon as Tang En's figure fluttered, she supported her and smiled: "Mint oil, the concentration is too high, you can't adapt for a while, wait a moment."
As soon as Tang En waved, the window opened, and the whirlwind burst out of the room with a thick mint fragrance.
"Huh ... I almost thought I was going to die ... uh ..."
Fiona patted her chest, and found that it was wrong. At this moment, she was snuggling in Tang En's arms, and his hands were placed in a bit bad place ...
Fiona's heart beat, did he do it on purpose?
Before waiting a few moments for Fiona's , Tang En let go of her and smiled, "How are you feeling?"
Fiona was frustrated and annoyed. What the is going on with this guy!
Don't make fun of the lady without that meaning!
"Much better ... you just said, peppermint oil?"
"Yes, that's what we bet on."
Tang En said with a smile: "This is a good thing ... well, but one of the benefits is beyond your experience."
Looking at Tang En's regretful look, Fiona was confused.
One of the benefits that Tang En talks about is that the mosquito repellent, mint can repel mosquitoes, and the effect is very good, but makes Tang En lucky and unfortunate, there is no such thing as mosquitoes in the plant.
"You say that this thing can make a lot of money?"
"That's right, hey, this jar of mint is for you."
Fiona froze. "What's the use?"
"Well ... you can rub on your body after taking a shower, and you can also pat your face after washing your face, which can make your skin softer, cleanse your skin, remove oil and moisturize, condense pores, and it's very cool, yes, if you grow If you have small acne, you can also wipe it. "
The benefits of pure dew Tang En only heard about it. He ca n’t say if it really has this function, but the creatures like women are personally understood. As long as they can become more beautiful, they will Willing to try it ...
"Really !?"
Fiona was stunned and stunned by Tang En, looking suspiciously at the large cyan liquid in his hand.
what do you say that is?
Mint mint?
"Of course," Tang En smiled proudly. "Will I lie to you?"
So Fiona believed.
"So what is this pot?"
"Mint essential oil is also something we make money from."
Tang En thoughtfully asked, "You ask Tina to bring some sugar over."
"Sugar? Okay ..."
Fortunately, Prandall's sugar is not a luxury product. There is a kind of plant juice that is very sweet. After drying, it is raw sugar, but ... it is only limited to this.
That's right, although Prandall's sugar is not a luxury, it doesn't bloom like varieties on earth. Toffee, fruit candy, soft candy, hard candy ...
What Tang En has to do is to open the door to a new world for the people of Prendall ...
After a while, Fiona returned, and Tina was holding a jar of raw sugar in her hands.
"Lord Lord, the sugar you want."
Tina put the jar next to Tang En, looked at Tang En with a bit of grudge, and went out.
Tang En didn't notice. He took out a bit of raw sugar and tasted it, his brows frowned slightly. The sugar in this world was a bit more unpleasant than he had imagined. After all, it was not purified.
This is still sugar in the Lord's Mansion. If it is used by civilians, I'm afraid the quality is even worse.
Haven't they thought about adding water for purification?
Tang En felt strange.
Fiona felt strange as she watched Tang En's actions.
He actually poured a can of sugar into that pot! ? What does he want to do? To cook soup?
Tang En is of course not cooking soup. Since this is raw sugar, the first step can only be to remove impurities, dilute with water, and filter a few times. The quality is already very good, and then add an appropriate amount of peppermint essential oil and keep boiling. When it's sticky, pour it into the mold. Alas, the mint is complete!
Needless to say, the detailed steps, especially Tang En still has a handy tool such as magic. In just half an hour, Tang En made the first jar of mints from Prandall.
Looking at the crystal-clear green ball of sugar, Tang En felt like a rebirth. He almost ate one with tears, and passed it to Fiona: "Taste it , Make sure you like it. "
Fiona put the mint in her mouth suspiciously, and then the next moment she stopped.
An indescribable shock!
It was as if a flash of lightning had cut through her mind and made Fiona froze there.
Obviously the temperature is already a bit hot, but it is incredible that she felt a coolness!
"What does it feel like?"
Is it sweet? That's right, but what's more important is the taste ...
"mint!"
Fiona finally came back to her eyes, her eyes glowing: "It turns out that this is what you said about making money !?"
"Yes."
Tang En calmly enjoyed the taste of mints and looked at Fiona with a smile: "Now you say, can this thing make money?"
"can!"
Fiona has no doubt: "Not only can it make a lot of money!"
