Chapter 130 Perfume Lesson
Chapter 130 Perfume Lesson
To live, a simple and seemingly meaningless answer.
But the thing is, everyone here has a bright future.
For example, the eldest princess and the third prince of the empire, no matter how despicable they are, they are still the children of the emperor of the empire.
In the future, I will be able to obtain a piece of territory in the royal territory.
The remaining students were all from duke families, and those who could come were legitimate sons.
The boy is almost destined to inherit the title of Duke in the future.
The girls all came with the intention of marrying Xiuyi.
At worst, girls can be paired with four other male classmates.
There may be many fools, but a noble family cannot tolerate real fools.
Children from poor families have nothing and can only gamble with their lives.
Just like the gold dust in the collapsing iron, he has been accustomed to betting with his own life since he was a child.
The phrase "all or nothing" was tailor-made for gamblers like him.
Because if he loses once, he will die.
It was also because of his gambling nature and luck that he was able to rise from a refugee whose clan was wiped out to one of the Ten Stone Heart People.
From this we can see that the only bargaining chip left to the poor is their own life.
However, for the students in the independent class who can have endless wealth and status as long as they live according to the rules, as long as they maintain the status quo of the family, it will be the greatest explanation to the family.
Moreover, there are many people eyeing their positions, and there is an endless stream of shady tactics, fighting for power and profit, and those who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals are everywhere.
Therefore, their biggest task is simply to stay alive and continue the family bloodline.
So the question is, is there any necessary connection between being alive and herbalism and growing herbs?
Of course there is a connection.
First of all, herbalism is related to medicine.
The two go hand in hand.
Strictly speaking, modern medicine in this world is still in its infancy.
However, due to the intervention of mysterious forces, in some aspects, it is actually more advanced than the medicine in Xiuyi's previous life.
Of course, these are just some extreme aspects.
If we must compare, Xiuyi's medicine in his previous life crushes the modern medicine of this world.
The main disadvantage is that he has no mysterious power.
Children of noble families are taught from a young age to stay away from almond-flavored things.
That's because the poison extraction technology in this world is immature, and almost all poisons have an almond flavor.
But...there are exceptions to everything...
So there is no need to elaborate on how important it is to learn medicine on your own, right?
Healing skills are useless without medicine, which is why herbalism and medicine are tied together.
Moreover, some herbs look very different before and after processing. Herbal medicine of course also includes techniques such as growing and processing herbs.
Collecting herbs in the wild is risky and the harvest is extremely unstable.
The way forward for herbal medicine must be farming.
If we train students who can recognize dried herbs but not fresh herbs... wouldn't that be a disgrace to Boshishan?
Moreover, in some special and extreme cases, knowing fresh herbs can save lives.
In fact, among all the students present, except Shuichi, everyone has learned first aid.
They have learned simple bandaging, hemostasis and the like, and have even mastered the technique of bandaging with one hand.
Isn't it just to increase your survival rate?
From this point of view, the world seems fair.
Everyone knows that if you kidnap a poor child, you will definitely not get a ransom.
But kidnapping a rich man's child...
The first lesson in herbalism teaches students how to grow some simple herbs.
There are 20 students in the independent class, 5 people in each group, a total of 4 groups.
Shuichi's group consists of Shuichi, Monica, Princess Angie, Prince Truman and Jelita.
Everyone received the distributed seeds and planting tools from a team of maids who helped to move the tools. They didn't even start farming when the work was over in an hour.
Teacher Monica simply postponed the next medical class so that the students could continue farming.
I will make up for the missed medicine class tomorrow.
Anyway, she is the teacher of both medicine and herbology, and her classes are held every morning, so she can arrange them however she wants.
So the students in the independent class spent the whole morning in the fields.
The courses at Boshishan are four classes a day, each class lasts one hour.
Two sessions in the morning and two sessions in the afternoon.
Although independent classes are special, they are the same as other classes in terms of learning.
Independent class students can have three meals a day in the teaching villa, which will be prepared by the maid.
The teaching villa also has single rooms for students. Even if they are not living there, the maids will clean them regularly.
After lunch, we rested in the dormitory of the teaching villa until 14: pm, when the perfumery course officially began.
It was still the same classroom in the morning. Teacher Salfini walked into the classroom with a scent of pickled perfume.
Although Salfini has an ordinary appearance and her figure cannot be seen under the loose gray scholar's robe, perfumers like her who are always accompanied by perfumes generally have good temperament.
She also has the weakest background among the three teachers.
But the silver ring on Salfini's forehead showed that her status in Mount Bozhi was not low.
"Hello, students." Walking up to the podium, Salfenni greeted the students in the independent class with a smile: "I am your perfume class teacher, Salfenni Oss."
"Hello, Mr. Salfini."
The students were very considerate and responded sporadically.
Salfini, who was 40 years old and still had charm, smiled all the time and gathered her long golden hair with her hands: "From today on, I will teach you about perfumery... Today's first lesson will start with the history of perfume development..."
Salfini briefly talked about the development history of perfume and some commonly used techniques.
After she finished speaking, she took out her pocket watch and checked the time. There were still twenty minutes before the get out of class ended.
It is not a good idea to let students study on their own at this time, but it is also not a good idea to just dismiss the get out of class.
Salfini smiled and looked at Xiuyi: "Actually, when I heard that there was a talented student among the freshmen this year, and that he chose to study perfumery, I was a little surprised. Because although perfumery can bring huge economic benefits, but... this subject is actually... um..."
Salfini suddenly didn't know what words to use to describe the discipline of perfume.
To put it bluntly, perfumery is of no help in increasing combat effectiveness.
The biggest function of perfume is socializing.
After all, perfume is an indispensable daily necessity in the eyes of the upper class, but in the eyes of scholars... that thing is just used to make money.
Scholars' research goal should be to figure out how to enable people to survive the erosion of the other world, rather than spending a lot of energy on something like perfume that is of no help in combat.
In other words, although perfumery can boost the economy, this discipline is actually at the bottom of the contempt chain within the Society of Knowledge.
As for why Salfini is the silver ring... a formal subject always has to have someone to hold up the facade, right?
