His focus was not on the lipstick, but on the tube. Even if the lipstick color was not ideal, he chose to ignore it.
After it was done, he couldn't wait to put on his lipstick and go to the Flower Picking Pavilion. He really didn't want to continue eating porridge and boiled vegetables anymore.
He wants to eat white rice, meat, and soft noodles...
Now he doesn't mind that this body is delicate and frail. He really doesn't have enough to eat and he only takes three steps to pant. He really doesn't have the energy to do anything else.
Zhou Zixiu was not there when Li Yuan arrived at Zhihua Pavilion, but because of Zhou Zixiu, the shopkeeper informed Zhou Zixiu's father Zhou Zhen, and Li Yuan was invited to the private room on the second floor.
"Nephew Li Xian, please sit down quickly!"
As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, Zhou Zhen greeted him warmly.
Li Yuan respectfully bowed as a junior: "Hello, uncle."
"No need to be polite! I heard from Zixiu that my nephew is both civilized and martial, and his face is like jade. It turned out to be true when I saw him today..."
Li Yuan smiled as Zhou Zhen praised him from head to toe without repeating himself.
Zhou Zhen has a social angst, and few people can resist such a straightforward and enthusiastic compliment.
After a long while, Zhou Zhen finished his praise and then asked Li Yuan to sit down.
"I wonder if my nephew has something important to do with Zixiu. He has returned to Fucheng and won't be able to get back until late at night."
"It's nothing important. It's the same as what I told my uncle."
He took out the lipstick and demonstrated it to Zhou Zhen: "I am a poor student, so I spent a lot of time researching this lipstick tube. I wonder if your store can accept this."
His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and he talks calmly about his family's poverty. Zhou Zhen liked him even more.
As he spun the paste back around, Zhou Zhen's eyes were full of shock, and he took the lipstick and studied it carefully.
The more I looked at it, the more I felt that this mechanism was well designed, and I kept praising it: "Wonderful, so wonderful!"
The color of the lipstick is light, if it matches with his lipstick, it would be perfect.
If the Zhou family had this technology, would they still be afraid that they would not be able to defeat the Wen family in the imperial business competition next year?
"My nephew, this mechanism is cleverly designed. How much does this nephew plan to sell for?"
"300 taels!" Li Yuan was not polite and directly stated his price, leaving a little room for bargaining.
"Yes, but my nephew must sell me the mechanism and composition, and he cannot sell it to anyone else."
Zhou Zhenhao said angrily. He had just looked at the base of the lipstick, and it didn't open even with some effort. Although there were seams, it was very strong.
Of course, Li Yuan also saw his actions, so he dared to ask for 300 taels with confidence.
The base of the lipstick has a buckle design, which is easy to install but not easy to remove. Violent damage will damage the structure inside. This technology can be regarded as unique in a short period of time, and it is not easy for others to imitate it.
The two quickly signed a contract, and Zhou Zhen sent a boy back with him to get the drawings.
Li Yuan looked at the ready labor force and went to the grain store nearby.
Polished rice costs 800 cents per kilo, while brown rice is much cheaper at 320 cents per kilo. Li Yuan only wants to eat white rice now. I proudly bought a stone of polished rice, a stone of fine noodles, salt, oil and various seasonings.
The final settlement only cost more than 3 taels of silver. The store can help you deliver the goods, but they must be collected before delivery.
I originally wanted to cut some meat, but thinking about the Hu brothers who sold meat, I felt very anxious, so I went to the cloth store and bought two pieces of cloth each for Li's mother, Li Wei, before leading them home.
When Mother Li saw her son bringing someone over, she didn't have time to ask him about the fabric in his hand. She thought he was bringing a friend back, so she enthusiastically invited the person to stay for lunch.
Zhou Ming bowed down respectfully and explained that he was just here with Mr. Li to pick up something and would have to go back soon.
After sending the people away, Li Yuan closed the door, pulled Li's mother into the house, and gave her the money.
The money given by Zhou Zhen was all based on his request.
He kept some for himself, and among the two hundred taels he gave to Li's mother, there were two fifty-tael silver notes, five ten-tael silver notes, and the rest were just three taels and five taels of broken silver.
"You, where did you get so much money?"
After being surprised, Mother Li was worried. How could a scholar who followed the right path earn so much money?
"Yuan'er, we have to take the right path even when we are poor, otherwise your life will be over,"
As she spoke, Mother Li's voice was filled with tears.
Li Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to explain it to her in detail.
After hearing this, Mother Li finally felt relieved. She stroked the money and said happily:
"This is really timely. Mom is also thinking of doing more laundry, renovating the house at the end of the year, and marrying you a wife next year."
"Well, let's fix the house first."
We must marry Lu Sian home as soon as possible. This era is too harsh on women. If you delay for one more day, you will risk ruining her reputation.
She doesn’t know exactly when the baby in her belly will arrive. It seems that her past life was revealed during an exam in a foreign country.
When Mother Li heard this, she thought he had finally agreed to marry him, and she nodded in surprise:
"It's time to repair the house first."
In the evening, people from the grain store brought food. When Li's mother saw the good white rice and noodles, she kept saying that Li Yuan was a prodigal and would not be able to lead the family.
Li Yuan immediately said that he would cook white rice for dinner tonight, which received an enthusiastic response from Li Wei.
That night, the white rice that Li Yuan had longed for finally appeared on the Li family's dining table. Although the dish was still a bowl of wild vegetables dug by Li Wei, all three of them had a full meal tonight.
Before going to bed, Li Yuan was still thinking about how to buy meat tomorrow!
The school closed the next day, and Li Yuan went to the county school in the west of the city early carrying his book box.
When he arrived in class, he found that many people were earlier than him, and they were all shaking their heads in their seats and endorsing.
He wanted to laugh a little, but he quickly joined in and found that doing so seemed... less likely to cause cervical spondylosis.
After memorizing the lessons taught by his teacher before the vacation, he quickly turned to other places to read.
Just as he was looking at it seriously, someone suddenly passed by him and said disdainfully: "Pretending!"
Li Yuan paused for a moment, and soon concentrated on reading again.
It is strange to say that in the past life, in order to maintain his own image, he never had close friendship with others and would not leave any obvious reasons for others to criticize him.
However, Ke Jingshan seemed to be able to see through his hypocrisy at a glance, and he would always have a few words to say no matter what happened.
After Master Wei came in, he was very satisfied to see everyone working hard. When he turned his eyes, he saw Li Yuan sitting quietly in the middle, a little unhappy.
The day's plan starts in the morning. In the morning, when the mind is clear, it is the best time to recite. This Li Yuan is so...
The students all became quiet when they saw the teacher. Master Wei pointed at Li Yuan:
"The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection. Come and memorize it!"
“The way of learning lies in being clear and virtuous, being close to the people, and being good. Knowing is followed by concentration, concentration is followed by tranquility, tranquility is followed by peace, peace is followed by thinking, and thinking is followed by gain. Things have a beginning and an end, and things have an end and a beginning. If you know the sequence, you will get the shortcut..."
Li Yuan memorized the entire book in one breath.
In his previous life, he had already memorized these books.
