I decided to go back to the basics and read the book once.
I've finally finished reading up to two volumes, but I haven't written down the purpose yet.
But it was hard to read three books, so I decided to have the third book and read it in the living room today.
"Would you like some tea?
A maid by the name of Kate who often attends my experiment. She was kind enough to speak up.
"But if I slip my hand and get my precious book wet, I'll be in trouble. Kate, thank you so much."
Nicholas smiled and declined the offer, and Kate left with a smile.
"... mmm, it's just a recipe that says how to make various things all the time..."
Even though I was packing it and reading it, since I was five years old, I was constantly flipping and reading the page.
Oh, my hand stopped on the page titled "What is Extraction?"
What...?
"It refers to the operation of selectively separating ingredients contained in raw materials such as plants."
This is it!
"When extracting ingredients from solids, the ingredients are generally immersed in water, etc., and heated and stirred if possible. In addition, if necessary, we will crush the ingredients carefully beforehand."
"That's what I didn't get!
I hurried to the lab with Kate.
◆
"To crush plants....."
I look around at the instruments in the lab.
"Isn't that a bowl? I'll use it for cooking. Then you might want to chop it with a knife."
That's what Kate told me, pointing to a pottery instrument.
"Well, let's compare both!
And I said, "Well, I'll take care of the chopping."
Yeah, I've never cooked before, so I saw Kate chop it, and for the first time I knew how to chop it...
First, I put the healing grass and magic grass that I rinsed in the bowl into the water in the beaker by the amount.
Then I put a beaker on the magic tool heater and started heating it.
A bubble formed around the beaker and a small bubble began to bubble.
[Potion]
Quality: Normal -
Details: The active ingredient is diluted. But it's slightly bitter.
A little bit later, the bubbles got bigger.
[Potion]
Quality: Normal -
Details: The active ingredient is slightly diluted. But it's bitter.
... that. I don't want it to be bitter.
After a while, I started pounding sometimes.
[Potion]
Quality: Normal
Details: The active ingredients are well extracted. But it's so bitter. It's so bitter.
... even though it's bitter to say good medicine, it's a bit bitter...
And it starts to boil.
[Potion]
Quality: Low quality +
Details: Some active ingredients are missing. The bitter taste has also faded.
I use the back of an antique paper nearby to take note of this progress.
"As for quality, it seems good to stop it before it boils.... but is it bitter?"
In the meantime, if you rinse it with a bowl, you'll get results, so let's try chopping it.
Place healing grass and magic grass into the water in the beaker by volume.
Then I put a beaker on the magic tool heater and started heating it.
A bubble formed around the beaker and a small bubble began to bubble.
[Potion]
Quality: Normal -
Details: The active ingredient is diluted. But it's a little bitter.
A little bit later, the bubbles got bigger.

Quality: Normal -

... it must be bitter after all...
However, it seems that the bitter taste is less than when the product is rinsed. Why would I do that?
For the time being, based on the finely chopped material, I poured the liquid that had stopped heating before boiling with a cloth and put it in a glass bottle.
It's bitter, but I wonder if it's finished...?
"Hey, Kate. I made a potion of normal quality, but it is bitter. I don't know."
Kate, who was watching my experiment, leans her neck against my words.
"How does your daughter know that the liquid she doesn't use is a normal, bitter potion?
Ah, yes! I never told anyone about my appraisal skills!
