Chapter 58: A Way to Make Money

The first month passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the fifteenth day of the first month, which of course refers to the entire month after the New Year, but the people here generally say that the first month ends on the fifteenth day of the first month.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, the people here don't know how to make rice balls, and they just eat a meal of dumplings for the Lantern Festival, Lin He originally wanted to make rice balls, but the materials at home were not enough, and Lin He also gave up.

In the previous life, there were fillings in the glutinous rice balls, ordinary ones such as bean paste, sesame seeds, peanuts, etc., and some fruit fillings, but the sugar at this time was too expensive, and the spring was about to begin, and the family needed some money to prepare, so I also ate a meal of dumplings, and I passed the first month of the New Year here.

After the fifteenth day of the first month, the weather is still very cold, although it is ready to start spring, but it is not so fast, Erniu often goes to the edge of the field or plays farm tools to see, and Mr. also came back to teach them.

Lin He didn't want to follow these children to study, just pretending, after the New Year, Lin He stopped going to class, Lin Chen saw that his sister didn't go, and he didn't want to go, so he took Xiaobao to play every day.

Lin He didn't force her to study, anyway, she liked it, just wait a few years, her family will teach her to read for a few years, and she doesn't need to take the fame test, she is willing to play with Xiaobao, so she can play.

Lin He always felt that his childhood was not good, so he was not strict with his younger siblings, and hoped that their childhood could be happy.

Lin He also thought about it, to see if he could find another way to make some money, it seemed that it would take a while for this doll shop to return to its roots, but the family was soon busy farming, Lin He planned to make some money before the farming, and when the time came, he could ask some people like short-term workers to help Erniu.

Dabao must have no time to go to the ground, and his father said that he didn't want his mother to go to the ground, and they couldn't help these children, and there was only two cows left in the family to plant those fields.

Lin He thought in the afternoon while sitting in the courtyard with Huang doing needlework. When I thought about my previous life, what was easy to make money and what I would do. Lin He remembered that in his previous life, others said that the best money to make is women's money, what cosmetics and skin care products, this is less and more profitable, I think this sentence will work at this time.

There were also some cosmetics in ancient times, but the lead content was very high, I was afraid that there was no way to use it, Lin He turned his head for a long time, and finally came up with a good idea when he saw Huang's hand.

Because of the perennial labor, Huang's hands often go under cold water in winter, and there are many cracked openings on his hands, because the weather is cold, the skin is dry, and some of the openings are oozing blood, some are shocking, and the winter must be uncomfortable and tight.

Lin He remembered that he had used a skin care product in his previous life, which was creamy, which had a good effect on dry skin, not only on his hands, but also on his body, and even if his lips were chapped, he could also use it, if he used it on his face, it would be a little greasy, but it was excellent to wipe his hands and body, and it seemed that it would not be very difficult to do so.

Lin He plans to study it, if he can study it, Uncle Tuo Wen will take this to Cai Diexuan to consign, someone should buy it, Lin He recalled some of the raw materials of that kind of skin care products in his previous life.

After thinking about it, there are a lot of materials at that time that are still not available at this time, and there are a few of the more important materials, and the raw materials at this time are natural without any pollution, and they are not chemicals, which should be a few points better than the skin care products in the previous life.

Lin He said to the Huang family, "Mother, you take five taels of silver from home and give it to me, I want to make some things out, and then sell them in the town, and see if I can make some silver money back?" ”

Huang saw the seriousness in Lin He's eyes and nodded, this daughter's words, Huang generally don't doubt it, but whatever she wants to do, what comes out in the end is unexpectedly good, and it will always bring some wealth to the family, so Huang didn't ask Lin He what he was going to do, and stood up directly to get the money.

At home, plus the seven taels of silver given by Qin's father, Lin He knew that in addition to the money for the New Year and his father to customize farm tools, five taels were taken out, so he didn't think much about it, Huang brought the silver, Lin He called Dabao, and asked Dabao to go to the town to buy some beeswax, almond oil and other things back.

Lin He knew that these things were all things that were available at this time, they were not very rare, and the price was not expensive. After thinking about it, he also asked Dabao to buy some small wooden boxes from the town that hold rouge at this time, and he would use them when the time came.

In addition, the lotus doll opened on the eighth day of the first month, and Dabao has not been seen at home, so this time you can go to see how the business of the lotus doll is.

Dabao took the money and didn't ask too much, so he and Father Qin drove to the town in an ox cart. Lin He prepares a very important material at home. One of the most important things to do this skin care product is to put a plant in it, such as cherry blossoms, roses, etc., which can increase the fragrance, plus some natural plants are also good for the skin.

But at this time, just after the New Year, the weather is still relatively cold, most of the flowers have not bloomed, I think the best thing at this time is to use plum blossoms, plum blossoms smell good, put the color inside is also good-looking, faint pink, and plum blossoms, there are many places here, Lin He knows that there are two plum blossom trees in the yard of Aunt Xu's house nearby.

Lin He took Lin Chen and Xiaobao to Aunt Xu's house to find some plum blossoms and come back to make this hand cream, Lin He was going to name this skin care product hand cream, and the plum blossoms were called plum blossom cream.

When I arrived at Aunt Xu's yard, only Aunt Xu and Ergouzi were at home, and Ergouzi saw the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family coming over, and walked out happily, saying, "Xiaobao, why are you here?" ”

Xiaobao said, "My eldest sister said that she would come to your house to pick some plum blossoms and go back to make plum paste." ”

Ergouzi thought about it for a while and said, "He'er, you can make plum blossom paste, what is that, is it something that can be eaten?" When you're ready, you have to send some to me to eat, the dried sweet potato you made last time was delicious. ”

Lin He smiled and said, "It's not something to eat, it's something fun, and when it's done, you can come and see it again." ”

When Ergouzi heard that it was not something to eat, he pursed his mouth and was a little disappointed, but when he heard that it was a fun thing, his eyes lit up again, and he said, "Okay, you are done, remember to come and call me." ”

Aunt Xu came out of the house, heard that Lin He was here to pick plum blossoms, and said with a smile, "He'er, you pick it, this plum blossom fell in my yard, I have to sweep it every day, you can pick it all, I'm too lazy to sweep the yard." ”
