Chapter 327 The blessings gained in the previous life
At first, He Jiaojiao didn't react, but when she saw Mo Ran's gaze fall on her waist, she instantly understood. She pulled the animal skin to cover her head.
Seeing He Jiaojiao's cute reaction, Mo Ran smiled dotingly, gently pulled open the animal skin, and kissed her on the forehead.
"Be good and have a good rest!"
He Jiaojiao nodded, responded vaguely, and watched Mo Ran leave.
After coming out, everyone else was still resting, so Mo Ran called them up one by one and talked about making essential oils.
When they heard that they were going to pick flowers, the kids got up and said they wanted to help.
"Then someone must stay behind to take care of Jiaojiao."
Lin Feng said, and then his face was full of earnestness, and he almost had the words "choose me" printed on his forehead.
Mo Ran glanced around and saw that no one else seemed to have any intention of objecting, so he just nodded and said, "Then you stay!"
When Lin Feng heard this, he almost jumped up with excitement. However, Mo Ran seemed to know what he was thinking. He looked at him and said calmly, "Jiaojiao is still resting now. Don't disturb her. I'll cook some food and warm it up there. Don't disturb Jiaojiao until she wakes up."
Lin Feng's smile froze on his face instantly, and he laughed awkwardly twice, "I know!"
So, Mo Ran led a large group of people out of the tribe. The area near the Lion King Tribe was rather desolate and there were not many flowers, so they planned to go somewhere farther away to have a look.
When it comes to exploration, Zhutian is naturally the most suitable person to go. He can fly, and his eyesight is much sharper than that of ordinary animals, so he is the most suitable person to go.
After a while, Zhutian came back.
"After we climbed over the mountain ahead, the entire valley was covered in pink flowers. I don't know what kind they are."
Mo Ran nodded and asked Chi Yan and Zhu Xiong to go to the valley over there. The reason why he didn't go to all of them was that he was not sure which kind of flowers Jiaojiao would like, so he thought of picking every kind so that he wouldn't make any mistakes.
Because they needed the petals to be covered with dew, they waited until the sun came out and the dew on the flowers dried, then they packed up and went back.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lin Feng sitting there with a depressed look on his face. When he heard the noise, he raised his head, and when he saw that it was Mo Ran and the others, he lowered his head even more.
When Mo Ran saw Lin Feng's expression, he roughly guessed what was going on and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
"You guys take a rest first. I'll go see if Jiaojiao is awake."
Mo Ran looked up at the sun. Jiaojiao had indeed slept for a long time. If she didn't wake up soon, she would be very hungry again.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw He Jiaojiao had already stood up. Her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and there was a tuft of hair on top of her head that was sticking up for some reason, making her look a little cute.
"Didn't you go pick flowers? Why are you back so soon?"
He Jiaojiao obviously didn't know how long she had slept. After all, when Mo Ran left, she was thinking of taking a nap for a while longer.
"Ok!"
He Jiaojiao was half-believing and half-doubting, thinking that Mo Ran must not have done what she asked him to do.
When she came out of the room and saw several large animal skin bags filled with petals, she was so shocked that she was speechless.
Her partners are so efficient. In such a short time, they picked so many flowers and several varieties of them.
"I didn't know which ones would be useful, so I just picked up everything I saw."
He Jiaojiao looked at the petals that had been sorted and said happily, "I was worried that I'd forgotten to tell you to sort them, but I didn't expect you to be so smart and have already sorted them by category."
"We have to thank Mo Ran for this, otherwise we wouldn't have thought of storing them separately."
Zhu Xiong said with a smile, after all, he put everything in the same animal skin bag at the beginning.
"Aran, you are really awesome!"
He Jiaojiao excitedly went to wash up, and then wanted to start making essential oil, but was pulled back by Mo Ran.
"You haven't eaten for a long time. Eat something quickly. Just tell us what to do."
She already has a good temperament, and with the boss's words, He Jiaojiao can't help but be attracted by him. What should she do? It's another day of being fascinated by her partner!
According to her memory, He Jiaojiao drew the utensils needed for distillation. However, there was no glass in this beast world, so He Jiaojiao planned to use bamboo tubes and pottery instead. The effect might be worse, but it should still be possible to extract essential oils.
In order to prevent failure, He Jiaojiao's first choice was peach blossoms. After all, peach blossoms were the most numerous among these animal skin bags.
While He Jiaojiao was eating, her companions began to work together. Some made the distiller, while others picked flower petals and picked out some debris.
When everything is ready, pour the clean petals and water into the pottery, and then start to boil it. There is a bamboo tube on the top of the pottery leading to the side, and another pottery is placed on the side to store the distilled water that evaporates after the first pottery is boiled.
This is a long process!
He Jiaojiao, who had just eaten, held up her chin for a while, and her eyelids began to twitch.
Mo Ran couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she asked Yuan to take her to rest first, while she stayed behind to watch.
When He Jiaojiao woke up again, Mo Ran and Chi Yan had already prepared a lot of floral water. However, it was still settling, and they didn't know what to do next.
He Jiaojiao opened it and took a look. She found that the water and oil in the pottery jar had separated, and she knew that it must have been successful.
But how do we separate the oil and store it?
After thinking about it, He Jiaojiao thought of Zhutian. He was the most steady person and was very reliable in doing things. She should be able to rest assured in handing the matter over to him.
So, under the guidance of He Jiaojiao, Zhutian used his special abilities and separated them easily.
"Wow, this smells so good!"
Ziyi came over to smell it, and the other companions also hurried over. After all, they all felt that the flowers did not smell very fragrant, so they were worried that the flowers they picked were not good enough, causing Jiaojiao's essential oil to fail.
But I didn't expect that this essential oil would be so fragrant.
"It seems... it was very successful!"
He Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile and said that this was the simplest method she could think of, but the equipment was a bit simple, and these pure natural essential oils might not last long.
To this end, He Jiaojiao took out the slightly thinner bamboo tubes in the space and used them as bottles. This way, she could ensure that the essential oils could be used up before they deteriorated and avoid waste.
I made essential oils from dozens of flowers in one go, and when I came to my senses, I found that it was already dark.
Thinking that her friends seemed to have not eaten all day, He Jiaojiao decided to cook some delicious food for everyone herself.
In order to cater to the tastes of every partner, He Jiaojiao cooks more dishes, some spicy, some not spicy, some with coriander, and some without. In short, everyone has at least one favorite dish.
This makes the couples feel even more that having a caring female master like Jiaojiao is a blessing they have earned in their previous life.
