This time when I came here, the eldest lady also brought a lot of gifts, which were all practical things. After seeing the two children adopted by Ling Yun, the eldest lady also liked them very much. She touched this and that.
"Sister Ling Yun, I have something to ask of you this time, so I'm going to cause you trouble!"
The eldest lady had spoken like this. What else could Ling Yun say? He readily agreed to help and asked, "But what about the production of lipstick?"
Both Shen Liujia and the eldest lady showed joy on their faces, and the eldest lady kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes, I have been tinkering with it for two days and nothing is right. I have ruined a lot of things. In the end, I can only come here and beg you to take action."
She had already thought of this possibility when she saw not only the two young men Hu Zi but also many bottles and wooden boxes on her carriage. Then she saw the eldest lady's fingernails that were slightly stained by pollen. Is there something I don’t understand?
"Send all the things to my room. Madam, I'll take a look at them and you'll understand."
Shen Liujia stopped him and said, "Why are you so anxious? This woman is so stinky. You asked Ling Yun to have breakfast!"
In fact, he was more anxious than the eldest lady. After seeing this house that day, Shen Liujia saw the huge business opportunities behind it. He could already imagine how crazy the wives and young ladies of wealthy families would be.
That's why I took this opportunity to come here with the eldest lady today.
Ling Yun knew that the eldest lady would not be in the mood to eat at the moment, so he simply dealt with it and then led the eldest lady to the room where he lived. All the things that needed to be prepared had been moved in and placed properly.
To say that the wealthy family wanted to enrich themselves, in order to facilitate their operation, a large table was specially moved in. Fortunately, this house is newly built and the space is large enough, otherwise the table would not be able to fit in.
Several maids and wives came in with the eldest lady, and the tea had been prepared earlier. The eldest lady sat sideways on the edge of the kang. There was really no chair in the room that the guests could sit on.
"I'm afraid that I'm too stupid to learn. These are the people in my Dowry Huaxi shop. I can trust them, so I'll bring them over to help me learn together. Is it okay, Miss Ling Yun?"
The prescriptions had already been given to others, so who would learn from them was not in Ling Yun's consideration at all. If the eldest lady said she could trust someone, then that was the person she thought she could trust. Ling Yun briefly checked the various materials he had prepared in advance.
It can be seen that the eldest lady has really prepared a lot in the past two days. There are more than a dozen kinds of dried and ground pollen, with various fragrances and colors, which makes girls like it just by looking at it.
A smartly dressed woman spoke politely, "Miss Lingyun, I am Hu Sanpo, who is in charge of the shop. These pollen should be used for color mixing, so I helped the boss choose these more popular ones." Color, do you think there is anything else I need to prepare?"
Only then did Ling Yun know that there was a cosmetics store in ancient times, and it was called Hua Xi.
"That's enough light and color, that's enough! Third Wife has a very good taste."
In front of her boss, Miss Ling Yun praised her. Naturally, Sanpo Hu was happy and she respected Ling Yun a little more. She had known a truth for a long time when she was making a living outside, that is, people treat you well. , you want three points back.
Respectfully, he stepped forward to help introduce the bottles and jars he brought one by one, which also relieved Ling Yun from the trouble of checking them one by one.
Hu Sanpo introduced it very carefully, introducing the uses and ingredients in detail. Ling Yun saw that the items were very complete, even beyond her imagination.
In this era, there is actually olive oil. This can just replace greasy lard. It is more suitable for making lip balm and the finished product is more perfect.
There are small hollowed-out carved charcoal stoves, exquisite utensils, and many empty shell-sized porcelain boxes with lids, which are used for storing lipstick at first glance, with beautiful patterns painted on them.
Ling Yun didn't like makeup much before she came here, and she almost always went out without makeup. However, even so, she couldn't withstand the overwhelming advertising brainwashing. She still knew the more popular colors among the color numbers.
Hu Sanpo lit the small charcoal stove, and Ling Yun began to make the plant lip balm step by step, explaining it bit by bit, slowing down the pace in places that needed special attention so that everyone in the room could see clearly.
"Don't stir too fast, stir slowly and with gentle force to avoid too many bubbles in the lip grease."
Men's colors, oxblood colors, milk tea colors, nude colors, with the help of various pollen, even the relatively niche Barbie powder have been released one after another.
It can be seen that the eldest lady's favorite is the Zhenggonghong she just prepared. She can't bear to put it down after looking back and forth in her hand.
What surprised Ling Yun the most was when he saw the ice tray used to cool mouth fat, and he had to admire the ancient people's command.
An ice box cut out of a large ice block wrapped in layers of oil paper and cotton. In her eyes, it was like a small car refrigerator, with the lid carved out of ice.
Put in the lipstick that is still warm and has not solidified, cover the lid tightly, then cover it with the outer thermal insulation lid and set it aside.
"These can be tried on your lips once they cool and solidify."
Just this time, I made more than ten boxes. Ling Yun saw that the eldest lady did not just want to use it for herself, but she had already planned to use it for sales.
The people brought here are not store stewards, but they should be some employees who understand technology.
Ling Yun proposed a way to increase prices that has been developed in later generations, "Madam, after this lipstick solidifies, it will become a plastic paste. If you want to sell it tomorrow, you can hire someone to spend a process on it to carve out more beautiful signs. The pattern, or directly the pattern of your store, to distinguish it from others."
As expected, the eldest lady also has a business-savvy mind. She immediately understood what Ling Yun meant. She clapped her hands happily and said, "Yes, this is much more high-end and grand. You can buy a few more taels of silver! Sister Ling Yun, You are really my big baby!”
Ling Yun noticed that the eldest lady's skin was a little dry and the fine lines at the end of her eyes were obvious when she smiled, so he casually mentioned, "Madam, you are just waiting here. I will get you a facial mask. It will be comfortable." How about a moment?"
Although the eldest lady doesn't know what a facial mask is, as long as it comes from Ling Yun's mouth, it is good now.
He quickly expressed his interest.
Ling Yun did not hesitate and took Sanpo Hu directly to the small vegetable garden behind the house where vegetables were grown. In the yard behind, there were not many vegetables available in the yard during the current season. Fortunately, there were some other vegetables bought by herself in the kitchen. , now it is put to use before eating.
Linglong scalded the skin of the tomatoes with boiling water, chopped the pulp finely, and kneaded it into a paste in a large bowl. Not wanting to waste any water, she added flour and made it a little thicker. She also added honey and eggs.
Hu Sanpo, who now regarded Ling Yun as her master, didn't have much respect for her. Seeing Ling Yun doing it, she thought she was going to make some food, so she stepped forward and suggested, "Master Ling Yun, what food do you want to make? I'll call the maids." Come and help you.”
"No, no, no, third wife, just look at this. You can give it to the eldest lady in the future. This tomato is rich in vitamin C. Crush it like this, add flour and honey to mix it into this state, and apply it on your face. It will not only hydrate the skin. , supplement nutrition, and if you replace it with spinach, it can also provide sun protection, antioxidant, and smooth fine lines.”
"This...isn't for food?" Hu Sanpo looked shocked. The thing in her stomach can be painted on her face. Is it really such a magical attack?
Ling Yun was still heating hot water and ironing the handkerchief, preparing to treat the eldest lady to a simple ancient SPA. Hu Sanpo couldn't wait to run in and talk to the eldest lady about the strange process of making this magical facial mask.
