Chapter 50: The Bite (2)
Of course, Qu Ning did not shirk or have stage fright on this kind of female topic.
Today, for the sake of the banquet, she has done a good job of dressing up, whether it is the makeup on her face or the clothes on her body, it is very carefully created, which is absolutely in line with the trend of the time.
For example, the Hanfu on his body is similar to that of other ladies at first glance, and the general collar is on the right side, with wide sleeves, but he is born on Qu Ning's body with a special grace, which is particularly good-looking and eye-catching.
If you look closely, you can find that the Hanfu on her body is deliberately done in detail, such as the waist is slightly higher, the lower body is extraordinarily slender, the belt around the waist is wide, and there are fine dark lines on the top, which is particularly gorgeous but lined with the small waist and grasps it, which makes people can't help but want to take a few more looks.
In the eyes of those foreign women, this kind of Hanfu, if they wear more concave and convex figures than East Asians, they will complement each other more and more, and they will be more complementary to each other if they wear them with nondescript clothes before they are put on.
Qu Ning and Alice, who came to ask for advice, said a briefly, looking at them looking like they were eager to learn and eager to take a small book to write it down, they couldn't help but bend their lips and smile, beckoned Sai Jinhua to bring today's "Bosom Friend" over, the English version of the small publication, to a few foreign guests: "Don't worry, ladies, what I said today, there are all written on it, the English manuscript, I translated it myself, you see, the details or something, can you still understand?" β
Alice was the first to respond, and turned to the third version she referred to with great interest, that is, the special makeup and clothing beauty version, and at a glance, she was stunned: the third edition of this issue, the makeup chapter is about lipstick, the clothing chapter is about how to wear a slender waist, and the beauty chapter is about how to remove excessive body hair on the body!
In fact, at that time, in distant Europe, there were already women using razors to remove hair from their bodies, but for a woman like Alice, a razor is not only easy to shave out wounds, but also leaves small prickly roots, which still look indecent, and, more importantly, her hair is already thick and grows very fast, and the use of male razors often almost causes her to endure small wounds in two or three days to "make matters worse"! But the newspaper talked about "how to use honey, sugar, and lemon juice to make beeswax to remove hair", and it became the "magic" that Alice itched to go home and try it immediately.
But soon, when Alice's eyes fell on the lipstick, her face gradually turned pale with the reading, and her lips, which had been painted bright red, were almost pursed into a line.
When she raised her head, she looked at Qu Ning's eyes with a slight fear.
"Young lady, is it true that lipstick is harmful?" She asked in a trembling voice.
"Heavy metal poisoning?" Qu Ning asked knowingly, raised her eyebrows, and glanced at Alice's brightly colored lips, "I heard that Madame, you had a miscarriage two years ago, dare to ask, were you pregnant at that time, but you still wear lipstick every day?" β
"......" Alice recalled what she had seen, the appearance of the child who had flowed away, her eyes fell on the line of "Beware of heavy metal poisoning", and then looked at the verification method of "how to identify whether your lipstick is poisonous" in the back, and almost hurriedly removed a platinum ring from her slender fingers, applied the lipstick to the back of her own hand, and then used the ring to wipe the lipstick repeatedly above the color of the lipstick.
While rubbing back and forth, Alice's face became more and more difficult to see: the lipstick sticking to the ring in her hand had almost completely turned black! Horrible, shocking to her, the blackness of the child with her limbs curled up and her skin black that day!
This is also what this newspaper says, only lipstick with excessive lead can have!
The reason why Alice chose to come to the Far East with her husband to "endure hardship" was because she was afraid that her status would not be guaranteed.
I will also wear makeup and lipstick during pregnancy, also because of the fear of falling out of favor.
But the child who lost has made their relationship drop to the freezing point for a time - the minister blamed her for having to come to the Far East, causing her to be unaccustomed to the water and soil before she had a miscarriage, and she had to bear it silently, for more than two years, who has ever understood her inner self-blame and uncontrollable pressure?
Now that she suddenly knows the culprit of everything, Alice can't wait to sue the P&V daily chemical company that makes this tube of lipstick to bankruptcy!
But Alice slowly came to her senses, and she looked around the room, and found that most of the Chinese ladies were not lipsticks, but rouge, which she had seen before, and the color was too dull for her to like. On the contrary, the color on Qu Ning's lips is a little pink pink, which is very natural and bright, and the skin is extraordinarily white, which makes her feel better than pure red lipstick.
And this woman was the mastermind behind the preparation of this report, Alice knew that she must have used it differently from them, so she simply asked: "Young lady, what are you using on your lips?" β
"This?" Qu Ning smiled, waiting for her words, "I made this myself," she asked someone to send a copy, and asked Alice to test the poison on the spot, and said with a smile, "It's natural, although the production process is a bit troublesome, but it's much easier to use." β
Alice They still need to be asked, Qu Ning smiled and knocked on the newspaper in her hand: "The process is complicated, not to mention some terms, I really can't remember how to say them, but I can barely remember them now, when you go back and think about it, you may not still remember, but in the next issue of the newspaper, I will ask those reporters to record my secret recipe at that time, if you have the heart, remember to buy the next issue of the bosom friend." β
Alice and the others responded in one bite, and promised: "Then thank you young lady." β
However, some people asked: "Is this English version available in every issue?" Is it so good that every issue can be translated? Also, how do we buy it? β
At this time, Qu Ning pulled out Jin Yunzhu, who had been listening to them quietly, and Sai Jinhua acted as an accompanying translator, asking them to discuss "foreign sales channels" by themselves: "This is our editor-in-chief Jin, you have to talk to her about specific matters." β
In addition to the first phase of the test edition, tens of thousands of orders for the English version have been negotiated today -- at that time, there were tens of thousands of foreign residents in the concession of Guanghuaxia, and among them, about one-fourth or fifth of them were women, and these women basically understood English. It's just that these people won't buy a Chinese newspaper when they are idle, and it is a great surprise that Qu Ning can succeed today. So much so that Kim Yun-joo got the same order as snowflakes, and she was a little dizzy, and when she went to find Qu Ning, she couldn't hold back her heart that was about to jump out of her chest.
Qu Ning returned to the group of Huaxia ladies, they stopped laughing, and asked Qu Ning with a smile: "Young lady, what are you talking about with those foreigners?" We can't understand it, it's just that they look at you, but it makes us feel strange, those foreign devils who are above the top on weekdays, there are times when they look at people like that! β
Qu Ning laughed at these compliments: "It's just a small skill of carving insects." β
Someone asked, "What did you show them before you said it?" Can't favor one over the other, those foreigners have, don't we have this treatment? β
This question fell into Qu Ning's arms, and she smiled shyly: "You ladies probably don't know yet, today is not only my first banquet, but also the first day of publication of my newspaper." β
Someone who was well-informed suddenly let out a low exhale: "Could it be that the newspaper that is making a lot of noise in the newspaper industry today is the newspaper you run, young lady?" β
Qu Ning looked at it and saw that the person who spoke was a relatively young woman, whom she knewβthe wife of Lin Zhisen, who was in charge of the newspaper business.
At that time, the newspaper industry had the Provisional Newsletter Act -- the media was a high-voltage line with many rules.
In the newspapers, there are many things that cannot be written.
And Lin Chisen, the supervisor, is like a certain bureau in later generations, which is specifically responsible for the one-size-fits-all of certain newspapers that do not meet the regulations.
It is as if there is a regulation in the Provisional Newsletter Act: newspapers that are related to the state system and that denigrate the current constitutional monarchy are not to be published.
Before the publication of all newspapers, they must report to the Newspaper Co-governance Association the direction of the report, and those that exceed the outline will not be published.
All kinds of shackles are very strict.
A vague thought flashed in Qu Ning's heart, but the smile on her face became kind and sweet: "It turned out to be Mrs. Lin, it's strange and well-informed, by the way, has Mrs. Lin read the newspaper under my hand?" β
Mrs. Lin smiled a little embarrassedly: "Not yet, it's just that my grandson mentioned one or two sentences, saying that the young lady is very talented." β
"Oh, that's a prize." Qu Ning lowered her head as if she was embarrassed, and at this time, the other ladies next to her began to gossip, "Young lady, what kind of newspaper, take it out and let's buy one by one, if the young lady said it earlier, we will order ten copies and eight copies in the morning, which can be regarded as a cheer for the young lady." β
Qu Ning was almost "hehehe" in her heart: if you really set a ten-eight-part order like that, what are you going to do with it? The ink is dirty when making straw paper. That's a waste of her printing effort and cost!
It's good that she didn't, but fortunately she was prescient.
Qu Ning felt a "hehehe" in her heart, and while being urged by them, she gave a newspaper to one of them, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, ladies, I did this because I was interested, but I didn't think about making money, this month, it's all free." If you think it's interesting to see it today, when you really start to order, you can book a few years' share, and I'll be satisfied. β
Her tone was humble, but the meaning of her words had a faint self-contained pride: My things are not worried about not being able to sell. If you want to say give me face, you don't have to. Just look at the face, and it's nothing if you don't appreciate the face.
A circle of people looked at each other, and their hearts became more and more like a hundred claws scratching their hearts, itching uncomfortably: she is so confident, is it really haode heaven and earth?
All of a sudden, a circle of women lowered their heads to look at the thin publication they were holding in their hands.
The author has something to say: the banquet will be relatively long.
Because there are more things involved. There are probably three or four things. The next chapter begins with the abuse of Master Yun. Under the general trend, it is directly crushed and not explained.
As for weishenme, do you write a bunch of lipstick beeswax...... This is the beginning of the business war scene. Can you guess which part of the business war I'm going to write about?
Tiger touch everyone, don't think my banquet is long.
Okay.,I'm going to sleep after the second chapter.,I hope there's a lot of messages when I wake up.γ
