After Wu Xia finished speaking, it took Fat Sister and the others a while to realize what she meant.
"Oh, you are such a naughty boy, are you still here to make fun of my sister-in-law?" the fat sister said with embarrassment.
After Wu Xia put on her makeup, she didn't dare to recognize herself when she looked in the mirror, so when she went out with her makeup on, the fat lady became unusually shy.
After the fat sister finished speaking, Xu Yun also backed down.
She said to Wu Xia: "Xia Xia, how about we go back and take off our makeup? Why don't people think we are old goblins?"
When Xu Yun said this, Liu Aiqin quickly covered her face with her hands. She didn't want to be laughed at.
"That's not possible. We put on makeup just to let everyone know what lipstick is, so that our family will support us. Besides, my sisters-in-law are obviously very good-looking, so why should they be afraid of showing off to others?"
"But but..." Xu Yun bit his lip.
She was reluctant to take off such beautiful makeup, but in this era, everyone regarded simplicity as beauty, so no one would paint their eyebrows.
"What are you afraid of? Xia Xia is right. We will sell lipstick in the future. If we don't dare to show it ourselves and make it look like we have done something shameful, we won't be able to do this business."
The fat sister felt that what Wu Xia said was very reasonable, so she stopped covering her face with her hands and showed her face openly.
Huzi saw his mother come out of the house mysteriously, and pulled Mengmeng and ran towards the people.
"Mom has turned into a fairy!" Huzi couldn't help shouting when he saw Fat Sister's face.
Mengmeng looked at the others and said in a coquettish voice, "My aunts have all turned into fairies!"
Several women were a little embarrassed by the two children. The fat lady asked Huzi in a low voice: "Does Mom really look good like this?"
Children don't tell lies. When his mother asked him, Huzi replied loudly: "Good-looking, mother is the prettiest!"
After listening to her son's words, the fat sister became confident. When she saw other military wives coming over, she greeted them openly.
When other people saw that these people seemed to have changed their appearance, they all asked curiously. Wu Xia explained to them what makeup was.
Everyone has a love for beauty. When the other military wives saw that Wu Xia had this unique skill, they asked Wu Xia to help them beautify themselves one after another.
At night, when the men came back, they found that their wives were different from the past.
What can I say, it's very pretty.
She usually looks like a tigress, but now her face is a little more delicate, white and tender, and her lips are red...
Wu Xia: I tend to wear more makeup in the evening. Straight men can’t see my sister-in-law wearing makeup at all.
On the morning of the next day, the sisters-in-law came to Wu Xia's house one by one with flushed faces. Many people asked Wu Xia where he bought these cosmetics, and some asked him to buy lipstick.
Isn't this a typical case of exporting to domestic sales? Wu Xia snickered inwardly.
She said to her sisters-in-law: "If my sisters-in-law want lipstick, I will make some lip balm for my sisters-in-law. It will be slightly red. When you put it on, you will look good without looking like you are wearing makeup."
Wu Xia didn't dare to give the lipstick directly to her sisters-in-law. Yesterday, she had done it herself. Otherwise, if the sisters-in-law were exposed to lipstick for the first time, they might have painted themselves into bloody mouths.
"We believe in Xia Xia. Just do whatever Xia Xia says. My sisters-in-law will treat you as lip balm." The fat sister was the first to express her stance.
Although Xu Yun also wants lip balm, she wants to make money more.
She asked Wu Xia directly if the workshop could officially start working today.
Wu Xia said: "Yeah, I'm just about to assign tasks to you. Just a few of us will do the first batch for the time being. After I get the first batch of finished products and find a stable channel, I will add more people for mass production."
As soon as they heard that Wu Xia was going to share the work with them, several sisters-in-law immediately surrounded Wu Xia.
"Xia Xia, what do you need us to do?"
Wu Xia calmly took out a piece of paper from her pocket. This was the work she assigned last night according to each person's personality.
Fat Sister is very strong, so the work of moving and transporting is given to Fat Sister, and Xu Yun is responsible for melting the grease.
Liu Aiqin was very attentive, so the task of weighing the color powder was left to her. Finally, after the lipstick paste solidified, they worked together to put the lipstick into the lipstick shell.
Everyone had seen Wu Xia's work steps yesterday, and Wu Xia went over the entire process to his sisters-in-law. The work officially started after everyone remembered what they should do.
Soon, everyone started following Wu Xia's instructions. At the last step, the fat lady took a measuring cup and poured the liquid into the mold. Everyone began to wait patiently for the lipstick liquid to cool down and be released from the mold.
At this moment, someone stood at the door of the warehouse and told Wu Xia that someone was looking for her outside the compound.
"I'll go take a look and I'll be back soon." Wu Xia took off his gloves and said to the fat sister.
Wu Xia said and walked out. Soon she came to the door of the compound and saw two smartly dressed people standing at the door.
"I am Wu Xia, who are you two?"
Seeing these two people, Wu Xia guessed in her heart: Editor Ding said that a reporter from the newspaper had contacted him, and it was about time.
"Hello, Comrade Wu Xia." One of the dark and thin men came forward and stretched out his hand to shake Wu Xia's hand.
"We are reporters from Pingcheng Evening News. Editor Ding Wenmin and Ding asked us to come here to find you. Can we find a place to talk in detail about the shell carving factory?" The reporter went straight to the point and asked Wu Xia.
"Okay." Wu Xia told reporters.
"I'll give you what I have on hand first, and then we'll talk about it in detail." With that, Wu Xia led the two reporters into the courtyard and home.
Half an hour later, the reporter stood up and shook hands with Wu Xia: "Comrade Wu Xia, we already know what you said. Since they can reject your shell carvings, it means they will definitely behave like this again. The rest is left to us, please trust our professional capabilities.”
Wu Xia shook hands with the reporter: "I'm just waiting for your good news."
She said as she sent the reporters out of the compound, and when they came to the gate of the compound, Wu Xia waved goodbye to the two reporters.
Lin Shuqin saw Wu Xia standing not far away. She said to Wu Jianguo: "This unfilial daughter is indeed hiding in the compound. Let's go find her now!"
Since they met Bai Tingting that day, Lin Shuqin came to the gate of the compound several times, wanting to go in and look for Wu Xia.
Xu Guoping once told the sentry at the door that if Wu Xia's family members wanted to enter the compound to find her, they would not be allowed to enter.
Lin Shuqin couldn't enter the compound, and there was no one to deliver the news for her, so she had to squat at the door. Her hard work paid off and she was able to wait today.
"Wu Xia!"
Just as Wu Xia was about to return to the compound, she heard someone calling her name. She looked back and felt that the rural woman in front of her seemed familiar. She searched through her memories for a long time before she remembered that this was the original owner's mother.
