Chapter 66: Business

During this time, I always avoided Du Yichun intentionally or unintentionally, because it seemed that I had never been able to confirm what was wrong with me, obviously I just regarded him as an elder brother, but why did I always have a strange feeling towards him. Especially on that day, I suddenly found that I unconsciously picked out a lot of clothes that met Du Yichun's preferences, although I repeatedly convinced myself that it was not because of him, but it made my heart deeply uneasy. I'm afraid...... Actually, I don't know what I'm afraid of......

And it has been more than a month since I arrived in Ancheng, and nothing unfavorable to me has happened, and now my "lockdown order" has been lifted, these days I have gone out with A Qiao, Lan Ling, and Ziqing, in addition to holding back for too long and wanting to let off steam, I don't need to see Du Yichun, at the same time, I am also doing a major event related to people's livelihood, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

To be honest, I really didn't expect that a tael of silver in ancient times would be used so much, and if it was just a simple meal outside, it would last almost a month. Although I only brought a few hundred taels of silver from home, it is not difficult to maintain the food and clothing of the whole family. It's just that I have always felt that I can't sit back and eat, but fortunately, in my previous life, I was the editor-in-chief of the technology and fashion edition of a large magazine, and I knew the owners of many cosmetics companies, and I was fortunate to visit the production lines of many state-owned cosmetics. So there are a lot of cosmetic ingredients that I actually know better.

I found that women nowadays have begun to use powder to improve their complexion, but in fact, the main ingredients are plaster, talc, wax grease, etc., and the function is whitening.

I added pearl powder and coral powder to the powder that Lan Ling bought for me, and then added jasmine and rose juice respectively, and when blended, it brightened and shadowed and had a rich fragrance. They thought it was good to give it to Lan Ling, so I made two new boxes and prepared to take them to the famous "Butterfly Dance Village" in the city that sells rouge gouache for a trial sale.

When I arrived at the "Butterfly Dance Village", a female shopkeeper immediately came out and began to introduce a so-called new product rouge. To be honest, the rouge at this time has been done well, it is extracted from the flowers, or in the form of paste or water, and the effect is also natural. And there are a lot of colors to choose from. Relatively speaking, powder is very far from modern times, with a single color and a single function, so I often don't dare to apply too much, otherwise I will have the feeling of a Japanese geisha.

I know this female shopkeeper, surnamed Yu, I have come to see it before, and I have bought a lot, she will naturally think that I am a big customer, so I am very attentive.

"Miss Ding, I bought it last time, so let's buy some again this time? Also, it's the New Year soon, and the girl's flower and moon appearance and my family's rouge gouache really complement each other. Moreover, there are not many of these stocks, and now the war situation is uncertain, and we don't know when the next time it will arrive, wouldn't it be a pity if the girl sold out and had nothing to use? We're selling the best of this one right now, how many boxes do you want?" This is like smearing honey on the boss's mouth, and she is very good at marketing, so she has used the "cold praise", "scarcity and preciousness", "herd mentality" and "hypothetical transaction" in kung fu sales skills. I nodded with satisfaction, good horses with good saddles, with this boss, my highlight and shadow powder must sell well.

I smiled and said, "Boss Yu, I'm not here to buy something today, but I want to invite you to see two things." ”

Boss Yu sighed and asked, "I don't know what Miss Ding wants me to see?"

I took out two boxes of powder and said, "When I was young, I lived with a palace lady for a while, and you know why the ladies in the palace are so beautiful, but it makes sense. These two boxes are the "Mingli Powder" and "Linglong Powder" made from the recipe I got from that grandmother. “

Boss Yu opened it and looked at it, and said, "These two boxes don't look special, this one is bright, and this one is dark." Then Zhengse said, "Our 'Butterfly Dance Village' is a place to sell good things, and we won't sell this strange gouache." ”

I smiled and said, "Boss Yu, why don't you wait for me to try it out before saying this, usually a shrewd person doesn't make a decision without understanding anything." “

Boss Yu nodded and said, "Then you can try it." ”

I called out to Ah Qiao, sat down in the store, and then turned to ask Boss Yu, "What do you think of this girl's appearance?"

Boss Yu looked at it for a long time and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry with this girl." ”

Ah Qiao smiled and said, "Boss Yu has something to say, this girl is not so stingy." ”

Boss Yu said: "This girl's facial features are not bad, but unfortunately the nose is a little big, and not straight enough, the eyes are big and round, but the distance is slightly wider, and the mouth is the most beautiful. As for the face shape, it is too round. Nowadays, they all like a goose egg face like Miss Ding, and if the face is too round, it looks more delicate and less beautiful. ”

I secretly admire this boss in my heart, no wonder he is the leader in this industry, and he analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of Ah Qiao in a few sentences. I nodded and said, "Just ask Boss Yu to put on makeup for Ah Qiao, of course, I will pay the relevant fees." ”

Boss Yu was also interested at this time, picked up all kinds of rouge gouache and began to put on makeup for Ah Qiao, and it didn't take long for Ah Qiao's makeup to come out. To be honest, I do feel like I'm in a lot of energy. Boss Yu chose a rouge that was very suitable for Ah Qiao, and at the same time, he also painted Ah Qiao's lips delicately.

I smiled and said, "Boss Yu's craftsmanship is really good, and Ah Qiao is indeed a lot more beautiful, but Boss Yu's things can only magnify her advantages, but they can't change her shortcomings."

Boss Yu let out an "oh" and said, "Miss Ding, but you want to use your concoction of this "Mingli Powder" and "Linglong Powder" to change her shortcomings?"

I nodded and said, "Exactly, please take a closer look at Boss Yu." ”

I took the box of "Mingli Powder" with pearl powder and hit it on the "C" area, "T" area, and chin of Ah Qiao's eyes. Then the "delicate powder" is slapped under her eyebrows, extending down the sides of her nose, and then along the lower edge of her cheeks, from back to front, from bottom to top, and at the same time applying a little to the hairline.

In fact, they are all entry-level things with modern makeup techniques. The main thing is to use the poor vision, apply highlighter powder or shadow powder in the appropriate place, you can make the bridge of the nose lift, shorten the distance between the eyes, and the facial features are more three-dimensional.

It only took a few minutes to finish, and I asked Boss Yu to see it, and she exclaimed, "How can this be?" It looks like the face is smaller, the facial features are more refined, and the distance between the eyes seems to be less obvious. “

I chuckled and said, "Boss Yu would like to talk to me about this business?"
