The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"Of course... I'm not going anywhere!" Gu Yin deliberately prolonged the last syllable of her words, and immediately turned around and went back to the house.

"Ah..." Pearl was dumbfounded. Why didn't the young lady play by the rules? She chased after her and asked in confusion, "Young lady, why?"

Gu Yin turned her head and flicked her pearly forehead again, pointed at the sky, and grinned: "Look at the sky. If you go out now, do you want me, your young lady, to be punished?"

Gu Yin didn't want to admit that after a busy day, she just realized that the day was almost over.

Although Gu Yin's parents don't restrict her from going out now, she is definitely not allowed to go out at night. Besides, it is not safe at night.

"Hehe..." Pearl smiled awkwardly and muttered, "You said that yourself. You looked like you were about to go out."

"Hehe, are you talking bad about your young lady behind her back again?" Gu Yin had very sensitive ears and she glanced at Zhenzhu deliberately.

"No, no, how could I dare." Pearl shook her head frantically.

"Tsk, I dare not. I just say it in my heart." Gu Yin had an expression that said, "As expected."

This made Pearl beg for mercy immediately.

Pearl: I will dare to do it again next time...

The site for petroleum distillation is located in a valley far away from the county town, which is far from the county town but not too far from the oil field.

Gu Yin rode in the carriage for nearly an hour and walked along the mountain road for another half an hour before reaching her destination.

In the small living room in the courtyard, Gu Yin weakly asked Chen Feng, Xiao Mang's servant, "Is Xiao Mang free?"

"Miss, apart from three meals a day, the young master basically stays in the house doing research." Chen Feng said honestly, implying that Xiao Mang is never idle.

"Well, wait a minute and I'll go find him." Gu Yin waved her hand indifferently. She understood very well how a scientific research genius would be obsessed with experiments.

Gu Yinniu drank two pots of tea before he recovered and told Chen Feng, "Let's go, lead the way."

Chen Feng led the two to a house and said to Gu Yin respectfully, "The young master is inside. Don't let anyone disturb him on weekdays."

Gu Yin went straight to the door and knocked: "Xiao Mang, Xiao Mang, can I come in?"

Wronged

Unexpectedly, there was a sound of footsteps from inside. After a while, the door opened from the inside, accompanied by a surprised voice: "Miss, you are here!"

"Wow..." Gu Yin took a step back, frightened.

Xiao Mang's big eyes, which were clearly black and white, showed some grievance: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiao Mang? How did you become like this?" The person in front of him had messy hair, like a chicken coop, and his face was completely black. Only the whites of his eyes could be distinguished.

Xiao Mang scratched his head awkwardly: "Miss, wait a moment, I'll go wash up."

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

Gu Yin was stunned and couldn't help asking Chen Feng: "Don't you usually help him wash up?"

Chen Feng was bought by Gu Yin specifically to serve Xiao Mang. Gu Yin was afraid that people like Xiao Mang would be so obsessed with experiments that they would not know how to wash and eat. If she didn't arrange a servant for him, Gu Yin would worry that he would drink oil directly when he was hungry one day.

"Miss, you are innocent. I prepare bath water for the young master every day, but he stays in there every day and looks like this when he comes out." Chen Feng had a look of panic on his face, and he was bent over almost to the ground.

In fact, Xiao Mang is quite easy to serve. He is not like other servants in wealthy families, who are often ordered around by their masters, and even beaten and scolded if they do not do their job well. Here, he only needs to prepare three meals a day and serve Xiao Mang. Except that Xiao Mang uses more water for washing every day, there is nothing difficult.

"Stand up straight and speak calmly. It's not a big deal, just explain it clearly." Gu Yin was confused by Chen Feng. She just asked casually.

However, what Gu Yin didn't know was that Chen Feng used to work for a wealthy family, and when something happened he had to admit his mistakes immediately in order to avoid punishment.

Chen Feng was slightly startled when he heard Gu Yin's words. The county magistrate's daughter seemed a little different. However, he still stood up straight and honestly reported what Xiao Mang was busy with every day.

The result was that Xiao Mang basically stayed in the laboratory except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

"Miss, what do you want to see me about?" Xiao Mang came back, the dirt on his face was gone, and his hair was simply groomed.

"I came to see you. How are you? Are you used to living here?" Gu Yin said, looking around Xiao Mang's laboratory.

There were two long rows of tables in the room, on which various bottles and jars were placed in a mess. The inner wall was filled with shelves.

Hmm...it looks like a laboratory.

"Of course I'm used to it. This place is really great!" Xiao Mang felt that living here was many times better than his previous home. It was quiet, except for "that kid Chen Feng comes to call me for dinner every day. It's so annoying. He said he was following your orders, so why don't you ask him to stop calling me every day?"

Gu Yin glared at him and said, "Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. How can you not eat?"

"Steel? What is steel?" Unexpectedly, Xiao Mang's focus was different.

"Uh..." Gu Yin was choked by the question, "Steel is actually an iron-carbon alloy like pig iron, but the carbon content in steel is lower than that in pig iron. The lower the carbon content, the better the toughness, so the toughness of steel is also better."

"Good toughness... Then if we use steel to make swords, will they be sharper and more durable?" Xiao Mang pondered.

"Yes, yes, yes, but stop for now. I don't know how to do this. If you are interested, you can study it again when you have the chance." Gu Yin hurriedly thought about Xiao Mang's ideas. She was worried that Xiao Mang would suddenly want to make steel, which would be a wrong path.

"Haha, I'm not interested, just asking casually." Xiao Mang scratched his head, he didn't know how to forge iron.

"That's fine. By the way, remember to eat on time." Gu Yin changed the subject.

Xiao Mang had no choice but to agree, knowing that Gu Yin was doing this for his own good.

"By the way, I'm here to ask you a favor." Gu Yin walked around to Xiao Mang's laboratory table and said while looking at the small distillation equipment on the table.

"what's up?"

"Help me distill something." Gu Yin pointed to the table, "For making perfume."

"Perfume? How to make it?" Xiao Mang's eyes lit up, there was something new.

"I brought both the dried flowers and alcohol. Basically, you wrap the dried flowers in gauze and soak them for a while, then put them in a distillation bottle to separate the essence of the flowers, and then mix them with distilled water and alcohol and bottle them." Gu Yin took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xiao Mang, "This is the specific operation method. The final mixing ratio has only one range. You can first look at different perfumes made according to different ratios, and then decide which one to mass-produce according to after market feedback."

Currently, there are only a few types of dried flowers, and they cannot produce much fragrance. But there is no need to rush. I can collect more flowers and plants in the future, so that I can continue to launch new products.

Xiao Mang took the prescription and read it quickly: "That's it?"
