Chapter 32: Mei Xiang

"You talk nonsense! This is obviously ......"

Liu Yunduo angrily watched as the silk flowers that belonged to him and his sister were taken away, and he was so depressed that he couldn't do it, and secretly hated Yunxiang for being too talkative. Chen Xiumei didn't count Liu Jin'er at all, and it can be said that it was for an unmarried little girl at that time. But as soon as Yunxiang said it, it became two flowers for one person, and it would not work if she didn't give it.

Chen Xiumei frowned unhappily, but she didn't think deeply. In her opinion, what kind of heart can a ten-year-old girl have? It's just too straightforward.

On the second day of confession, Yunxiang's family did not go. Because according to the rules, if it is inconvenient for the elders at home, the younger generations need to visit the house. But everyone understands that Erlang and his family will not come. Regarding the character of Erlang's family, Yun Xiang can only say that he is speechless, and Chen Xiumei, Yun Xiang believes that things are clustered by likeness, and people are grouped, so it is better not to care.

With time, Yun Xiang began to work on the cosmetics to be made. Generally speaking, rouge is made with red and blue flowers or roses to extract color. But after Yun Xiang saw the red plum, she had the urge to make plum blossom rouge. It usually takes 3 weeks to make the rich rouge stock solution, and the first thing is to burn the rouge, which is to put the petals in a container and heat them for two hours a day. In order to burn a very rich rouge site, four or five different shades of rouge can be prepared according to different needs in the later stage. Then the vegetable oil and vegetable wax are heated, and the beeswax is added and boiled into a white milky substance. The next step is to add a variety of different powders. Mung bean flour, rice flour, wheat flour, corn flour are all acceptable. Then pour the boiled stock solution into it and stir it, and the color of the rouge will be revealed.

Yun Xiang put the rouge in a small porcelain box that was specially made in town a few days ago, and then waited for them to dry. This time, Yun Xiang made five different shades of color, twenty boxes each. Of course, in order to be different, in the production, Yun Xiang put a few drops of plum blossom essential oil in ten of the boxes. This thing is not rare in the last days, but she received a large batch of goods in the warehouse by chance. Fortunately, her warehouse doesn't know what the structure is, and the capacity is infinite, otherwise she would not be willing to waste precious storage space.

"Sister, give you a good thing!" Yun Xiang ran to Yun Lian's room with a box of light-colored rouge. Yun Lian was embroidering a handkerchief, which Yun Xiang had drawn the pattern and taught her to embroider. Although she learned late, Yunlian is very talented and patient, so her progress is also rapid.

"What's new here?" Yun Lian put down the embroidery in her hand and looked at Yun Xiang with a smile. Since Yun Xiang didn't die, she suddenly knew a lot of things, and their family's life has been getting better and better. Today's life is something she didn't even dare to think about before, so she hurts this sister to the bone.

Yun Xiang smiled and took out the blue and white porcelain box, "Open it and take a look." ”

"Ah, it smells so good!" Yun Lian opened the lid and said in surprise, "It's rouge!" What a beautiful color! He touched it lightly with his hand and praised, "It must be very expensive if it's so thin, right?" ”

"It's not expensive, this one, ten taels of silver." The best five taels of silver in the Hongyan Pavilion are also very delicate, but there are no drops of her plum blossom-scented essential oil. It is not difficult to make essential oils, but no one here will, and this is her advantage.

"Ten taels!" Yun Lian hurriedly closed the box, "Quick! Go back! Why are you spending money! ”

Yun Xiang couldn't help but laugh, "Return to whom?" ”

"Of course, I will return it to whoever I bought it from!" Yun Lian urged, "Go quickly, we can't afford something that expensive." ”

"Oh, sister!" Yun Xiang broke free, "I did it myself!" ”

"What? Do it yourself? Then you said you wanted ten taels of silver? Yun Lian was a little unconvinced.

"Ten taels of silver is the price I set for it! It's the price I sold for it! Yun Xiang took the rouge in her hand, "Do you think it's worth it?" ”

Yun Lian has never seen anything in the world, and she doesn't know if this rouge is worth ten taels of silver. If it is calculated according to the fact that one penny is equal to one yuan in later generations, then one tael of silver is a thousand yuan, and ten taels of silver is ten thousand yuan. Yun Xiang didn't know if this calculation was right, she only knew that the price of pork was fifteen yuan a catty, and before the end of the world, fifteen yuan a catty, so she calculated the price according to this conversion.

Yun Xiang gave this box to Yun Lian, this is Yun Lian's first cosmetic product, and it is so expensive, so she put it away very preciously.

When it was time for another five-day appointment, Yun Xiang carried the Panniu made by Yun Lian and the Zhou family to Linglong Pavilion.

"Yunxiang, why didn't you embroider a veil this time?" The proprietress took the button, but she didn't see the embroidered handkerchief, so she couldn't help but ask.

Yun Xiang smiled, "Our family is also a little busy during this time, and another one, embroidered handkerchiefs are too wasteful eyes, and I don't want to be blind at a young age." ”

The proprietress laughed, and first gave the money to Yun Xiang, "Then, this is a hundred taels of silver for five new Panniu this time!" You're rich, you can't look down on those little money, right? ”

"How so?" Yun Xiang has already sold a total of fifteen pan buttons here three times, and has earned a total of two hundred and fifty taels of silver. It's enough to buy a big yard in the county. Originally, Yunxiang thought it was expensive, but later according to the conversion of one penny equal to one yuan, the large courtyard of Sanjin would not be able to buy more than 2 million if it was left before the end of the world.

The proprietress gave Yun Xiang to the back yard and served her tea and snacks. "Actually, I have something to discuss with you this time."

"Aunt Taozhi, we are also acquaintances, you can say something." As soon as Yun Xiang saw the boss lady's posture, she knew that she had something to ask for.

The proprietress smiled heartily, "I just like your straightforward nature!" That's the case, the eldest lady of the Wang family in our county is getting married and wants to buy some good embroidery. It just so happened that she had bought the handkerchief you had embroidered before, and she liked it very much, so she asked me if I had embroidered a tent for her, and if there were other things that were collected, the price would never be disadvantaged. ”

Yun Xiang frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "When did you want it?" ”

"Before the twentieth day of the lunar month." The proprietress counted the days, "There are still more than ten days to go, you can embroider as much as you can see, but it is a rare big business." I can also be regarded as taking advantage of your light, the Wang family has ordered a lot of good materials from me, and even eight sets of clothes have been ordered from me. Spring, summer, autumn and winter are two sets each, and the buckle decoration is specified. ”

"Okay, since it's embroidered for Miss Wang, you have to have good materials and good embroidery thread." Yun Xiang carefully asked about the places to pay attention to and the preferences of the eldest lady of the Wang family, so she bought the fabric embroidery thread and said that it would be delivered on a good day.
