Chapter 39: Lipstick

Since Heiya wants to exercise Xiaoshan well, she basically doesn't express her opinions on all business matters, and after eating, several people are discussing together, she just listens quietly, and if someone asks, she will say a few words. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It can only be said that the transportation in ancient times was too inconvenient, and the shavings water was something that could not be stored for a long time, which limited them to selling nearby.

Xiaoshan naturally wants to go to the county seat, he wants to take the county as the center to radiate the sales to the surrounding areas, but his uncle thinks that the demand is not much now, and the most he sends a trip a day is walking, and the hard work is nothing, in case others find their raw materials after renting a house, the business will not be done.

"You might as well ask Boss Qin in the county, since he does this business, his connections and contacts are naturally much wider than yours, even if he is unwilling to do business in the county, he will definitely have a familiar way, it depends on whether he is willing to help you, in addition, he can also sell it cheaply to the surrounding towns, although you will earn less through him, but you can reduce a lot of trouble." Dad Liu thought about it and suddenly spoke.

Heiya praised her father in her heart, in fact, she also thought so, when the business was just starting, if you grasp the source, the most labor-saving way is to find a ready-made channel, even if Boss Qin doesn't want to do it himself, he should know some merchants who specialize in fat powder wholesale. Although it makes less money, it is much faster than finding a market on your own, and it also reduces the cost of sales.

"If we can sell more than a dozen jars a day, it's worth it for us to go to the town to rent a house, as long as we are vigilant, it won't be so easy to leak." Father Liu paused and continued.

In the end, several people agreed that if the Qin shopkeeper did not have a way to the county, they would run by themselves, and if a county town could sell ten jars a day, they would rent a house there. Ten altars a day, that's three hundred Wen, and they can earn nearly ten taels of silver in a month, and their two families are estimated to not earn that much in two years.

Several of them were full of hope for the future, and their voices were a little brighter than before.

Heiya remembered the beehive she made a few days ago, she smeared honey in it, and put it on the big stone at the intersection where she went to Xiaoshan last time, and now it has been several days, and I don't know if there are any bees making their home in it.

Thinking of this, she sneaked out of the door, ready to take a look, Xiaoya was scared by her indiscriminate eating before she followed her every day, now she looks good, she is not so always sticky to her, and when she is fine, she will also play with the little sisters in the village.

A person climbed up the big rock, and saw five or six bees flying around the box, and the black girl was happy, it seemed that there were indeed bees to build a nest, and she didn't dare to get too close, but after a while, she could see the industrious bees constantly going in and out.

In the winter, there will be honey to eat, the black girl happily thought, she is not going to give this box to her uncle, there are constantly bees around, the box is not easy to take, I will take him over to see, tell him the general structure of the beehive, he went back to make a new one.

Honey is one hundred and twenty wen a pound in the pharmacy, and you can't pull beehives around to catch the flowering period here, and the yield of honey will definitely not be too high. If a beehive collects honey once a year, it can pick about ten catties, honey is resistant to storage, and it will not be bad if it is put for a few years.

In her previous life, Heiya would drink honey water every day, and sometimes she would use honey to coat bread, and her skin was very well maintained, and nearly thirty people looked like college students who had just graduated. Now there is no such condition, except for a little bit of the three-money honey I bought before, it is all used to wipe the beehive.

Thinking of the sweet taste of honey, Heiya couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Uncle, you come here." As soon as I climbed down the big rock, I saw my uncle walking along the road, which is the road at the entrance of the village, and you have to walk from here no matter how you go out of the village or into the village.

Triumphantly showed his uncle the beehive, and told him the value of honey, in fact, there is no need for Heiya to say, Xu Manliang also knows, when he was a child, he often went to scourge the honeycomb with the children in the village, the kind of honeycomb under the rocks They can't get it, and they don't dare to get it, and being stung by that can hurt people to death. It is generally the kind of small grass bee, which does not have much honey and does not hurt particularly if it is stung, and it is one of the few sources of sweetness for children in the mountains.

He also knows that honey is valuable, but it is dangerous if it is not easy to get it, and now that he hears that he can raise it himself, he still thinks it is quite rare.

"You little brain, I really don't know how it grows, and even this can be figured out by you." Uncle gave a thumbs up to the black girl in convincing, "I'll help you get it when there's more honey inside, don't you touch it yourself, you know, it hurts to cry when you are stung." ”

"Gee, I'm not telling you that." Heiya tugged at her uncle's hand and twisted it, "I'll tell you how to do this box, you make a few more scattered places and put them in a place with few people, and when you go to collect honey in winter, you can collect a lot." She didn't dare to go into too much detail, so she could only give a rough idea.

"Yes, little clever ghost," the uncle nodded to the little head of the black girl, "I'll make more, and put a few here for you, not only can I sell them for some money, but you will also have honey to eat next year." ”

The black girl squinted and grinned, carefully explained to her uncle how to make a rudimentary version of a beehive, and then watched him leave.

In the morning, she made rouge, used up the refined pomegranate flower powder, and the extracted pomegranate flower juice was not made, she had to hurry up and get it ready, and let Xiaoshan take it to the county seat tomorrow to show Boss Qin.

Then put your own own small stove on the fire, pomegranate flower juice in a small bowl to heat the water, so that the water in it slowly volatilize, this is a patient work, the small pottery pot to add water several times, it took an afternoon, to condense the pomegranate flower juice into a little thick juice.

Seeing that there is not much water in it, add sweet almond oil, continue to heat slowly over low heat, until all the water in the flower juice evaporates, and the crimson color melts into the oil, and then add beeswax to it, think about it, and drop a drop of cypress essential oil. When it is completely integrated, pour it into a small porcelain box while it is hot, and when it cools, it will solidify into a solid like lipstick.

Flowers are hard to find in the small county, Heiya decided that these things will only take the boutique route, half a basket of pomegranate flowers only made two boxes of rouge, two boxes of lipstick, I don't know how much it can be sold.

Still scraped the remaining lipstick into a clean small porcelain dish, and put it in the wooden box with the morning one, and the little black girl on his hand tried the color on the back of his hand, the coloring was good, and there were three different colors of red with different amounts used, all of which were beautiful. The blend of the essential oil and the lipstick has changed the fragrance, but it is still very good, as long as it is a little bit, you can smell a burst of fragrant fragrance.

It should be able to sell for a good price, Heiya thought to herself, she really wanted to eat braised pork.
