Volume 2 Luoyang Xing Chapter 136 A woman's money is the best to earn
Early in the morning, Lu Xiaoxian was about to go out with Zhang Meng, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Yin Feng pouting and standing aside unhappily.
"Chick, what's wrong?" Lu Xiaoxian smiled and pinched her chin, "You can tie a donkey to your mouth!" β
"Nothing!" Yin Feng said that it was nothing, but a fool could also see that she must have something.
Zhang Meng smiled at Lu Xiaoxian: "You take me out every day and leave her and Langyue in the mansion, she must be jealous of you!" β
"Jealous?" Listening to Zhang Meng's words, Lu Xiaoxian's goosebumps fell to the ground, "Don't talk nonsense!" β
He felt a chill on his body, in case Yin Feng really thought that he and Zhang Meng were the ...... Isn't there a hundred mouths that can't be said clearly?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly put on a smiling face and said to Yin Feng: "Go, call Lang Yue, I'll take you to play together!" β
"Hey!" Yin Feng happily agreed, turned around and disappeared.
Luoyang, the imperial capital, has spacious roads, noisy people, and the whole city is lively and lively, and prosperity has been integrated into the blood of the imperial capital.
When the four of them came to Nanshi, Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng kept asking about the store's rental and sale information, Yin Feng and Lang Yue looked around as they walked, obviously it was the first time they came to such a big market, and they were curious about everything.
After wandering around for two hours, Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng still found nothing, and were about to continue walking, but suddenly found that Yin Feng and Lang Yue had not followed.
Looking back, the two of them were in front of a shop, chattering about something.
Lu Xiaoxian had no choice but to walk back, and when he got closer, he couldn't help but smile dumbly. There is nothing in the world that cosmetics can't solve.
The difference between a woman in later generations and a woman in the Tang Dynasty is only a bottle of French perfume or a box of good rouge.
What if there is something that can't be solved?
If so, it must be a struggle over one box or two.
The shops on both sides of this road are mostly rouge and gouache shops, the best rouge incense powder in Luoyang comes from here, and the imperial capital gathers the most beautiful women in the world, with enough heritage and feelings to bake these soft fragrances.
Let the Yin Feng sisters stop at the side of the shop, the name is "Peach Blossom Hime".
It is natural for a man to buy rouge gouache for a woman, not to mention that both of them are Lu Xiaoxian's women, of course he can't turn a blind eye.
"Let's go! Let's go in and take a look! Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and led the way to the store.
The store is filled with strange fragrances and retro atmosphere, the rouge is served in a porcelain box, and the incense powder is placed in a cardboard box, which is varied, and Lu Xiaoxian is a little dizzy when he sees it.
The shopkeeper was a man in his forties, and he was quite surprised to see Lu Xiaoxian and the four of them. He is rarely patronized by men here, even if there are men who choose rouge gouache as gifts for women, they are also hurriedly selected and then left in a hurry.
Lu Xiaoxian said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, you can introduce it and help you choose." β
"The shop has flour fat made of hollyhock flowers, heavy silk, black bean skin, pomegranate, mountain flowers and Sufang wood." The shopkeeper is like a few treasures: "In addition to these facial fats, the small shop also has mouth fat, hair paste and clothes sachets. Two young ladies, please take a look at these lipsticks, there are 16 kinds of pomegranate Jiao, Da Hong Chun, Xiao Hong Chun, Tender Wu Xiang, Banbian Jiao, Wan Jinhong, Shengtan Xin, Lu Zhu'er, Nei Jia Yuan, Tiangong Qiao, Luo Er Yin, Pale Red Heart, Orangutan Halo, Xiao Zhulong, Ge Shuangtang, and Mei Hua Nu
, and is called rouge halo product. β
Lu Xiaoxian listened with relish on the side, and he could not help but admire the fact that he was familiar with the goods he was dealing with to such an extent.
Zhang Meng couldn't help but exclaim: "So many varieties? β
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The small shop not only has many varieties, but also has the best quality, and the prices are also different. β
"Oh? Can the shopkeeper tell us more about it? Lu Xiaoxian seemed very interested.
"Absolutely!" The shopkeeper picked up a box of rouge with a smile on his face: "This is ordinary rouge, there are impurities inside, and the color is thin, but the price is cheap, as long as a few dozen dollars can buy a box." β
"This is the purple riveting rouge of Nanfan, made of a kind of thin lac insect as ant lice, purple red, excellent quality, and is of the highest grade. As long as you pick a little hairpin and rub it on your lips, it is enough. Melt it with a little water and wipe it in the palm of your hand, and it will be enough to pat your face. If the two young ladies don't believe it, they can try it on the spot. β
"Can you still try?" Snow Lotus's eyes widened.
"Of course you can try!" The shopkeeper smiled slightly.
On-site try-on, try-on, and makeup trial are the means of promotion in later generations, but I didn't expect this shopkeeper to know this.
Yin Feng and Lang Yue were not polite, they tried it according to their words, and they saw that they were bright and abnormal, and they were sweet and fragrant, and even Lu Xiaoxian looked at it with brilliance in his eyes.
"There is also this, called rose cotton rouge, which is the best, and the price is not cheap." The shopkeeper continued to introduce.
"Superb? Is it that good? Lu Xiaoxian asked quietly.
"Rose rouge, the selection of materials is very particular. When roses bloom, not only the color is different from one flower to another, but also the color of each petal in the same flower is also very different, so it is necessary to pick the flowers in the early morning when the roses are in full bloom, carefully select the petals with pure and consistent color, and discard the rest. After selecting the petals, put them into a clean stone mortar, slowly grind them into a pulp, and filter out all impurities with a filter made of fine yarn, and then take the newly reeled white silk of the year, press it into a round cake shape according to the size of the rouge tank, soak it in the flower juice, take it out after five or six days, dry it for three or four days, and wait for it to dry thoroughly before making rose cotton rouge. β
The shopkeeper's detailed introduction made the Yin Feng Langyue sisters very tempted.
Lu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "Please ask the shopkeeper to recommend the best product, I want to give it to the two of them!" β
The shopkeeper took out two boxes of rouge from the cabinet: "This rose cotton rouge is the best rouge in the shop, and it is full of praise even if it is used in the palace." β
"Okay! That's it! Lu Xiaoxian said bluntly: "Shopkeeper, how much is it?" β
"One box of 1,300 taels of silver, two boxes of 2,500 taels of silver!"
"Huh? So expensive! Yin Feng and Lang Yue couldn't help but exclaim.
Lu Xiaoxian once gave the sisters Luo skirts, maybe only a few taels of silver, but the two boxes of rouge in front of him cost two thousand five hundred taels of silver. Two thousand five hundred taels of silver is enough for five ordinary families to live for two years, but two boxes of rouge cost two thousand five hundred taels, and the price is really ridiculously high.
The shopkeeper smiled: "It's indeed a little more expensive, but this kind of rouge, the small shop can only make five boxes a year, and three boxes have been bought, and these are the last two boxes." β
"We're not buying!" Yin Feng stammered: "It's too expensive." β
Lu Xiaoxian sighed and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I only brought a thousand taels of silver tickets today, I will pay you a deposit first, can you keep the rouge for me, and then I will bring the silver to buy." β
palm
The cabinet said lightly: "You just take the rouge, and send it when the silver is free." β
Lu Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows: "You're not afraid that I will repay the debt?" β
"Childe is not a debtor!" The shopkeeper said confidently, "I have been doing business for so many years, in addition to integrity, all that is left is eyesight, if you don't even have this bit of eyesight, how can you mix in Luoyang?" β
Lu Xiaoxian shook his head: "The rouge is still placed here for you, and I will come back when I get the silver ticket!" β
"I don't want you to lose face in front of the two ladies!" The shopkeeper smiled, "Things are dead, people are alive." Being able to meet the son is also fate, and I am willing to make you a friend, so why be polite? β
"I don't know the name of the shopkeeper!" Lu Xiaoxian asked.
"My name is Cen Shaobai!" The shopkeeper asked politely, "Childe's surname?" β
"My name is Lu Xiaoxian!" Lu Xiaoxian laughed: "Since Shopkeeper Cen can trust me, if I twist it again, I will have to let Shopkeeper Cen look down on it." β
Coming out of the "Peach Blossom Ji" rouge gouache shop, it was already noon.
Yin Feng lowered his head and said, "If I knew that I would have to spend so much silver, my sister and I wouldn't come out with you!" β
No matter which dynasty it is, it is a woman's money that makes the best money, this is a wise saying! Women love beauty, they would rather not eat or drink but they can't be beautiful, clothes, cosmetics, jewelry, etc., as long as they can be beautiful things and things for women, they are all ways to make money.
Lu Xiaoxian is very open to this, he doesn't feel sorry for the silver at all, anyway, it was all given by the Zhang brothers, it's a big deal to earn it after spending it!
Seeing that Yin Feng and Lang Yue were unhappy, he smiled and persuaded: "Money is something outside the body, if you don't bring it to life and die, you don't take it with you, you spend it." As long as you two are happy, if you are really grateful to me, you can serve me every day! β
After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Yin Feng's tears were about to fall, and she never had someone as good to her as Lu Xiaoxian in her life.
Seeing that the more persuasion became more and more ineffective, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly became anxious: "If you two still can't solve the knot, then follow me now!" β
"Do what?" Yin Feng asked with his mouth.
"Follow me to exercise!" Lu Xiaoxian said seriously, "We do a man-making movement!" β
"Phew!" Yin Feng smacked him, and his face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck.
Lu Xiaoxian was obviously in a good mood, and he directed himself at Zhang Meng: "Let's buy a good wine today and drink a few glasses of beauty, how about it?" β
Hearing this, the wine worm in Zhang Meng's stomach was immediately hooked out, and he nodded busily: "Okay, okay, I'm going to buy wine!" β
With that, Zhang Meng turned around and left.
"Wait!" Lu Xiaoxian stopped Zhang Meng, "Let's go together!" β
Datang's liquor is divided into two types, one is official liquor, and the other is private workshops.
Official liquor was controlled by the imperial court and the government and was used for royal ceremonies or for the use of the emperor and officials themselves. Private workshops are privately run, and whoever they are, as long as they pay for them, they sell them. Luoyang, the imperial capital, has gathered many government-run wineries, recruited many excellent winemakers, and used the most advanced winemaking methods to make wine, making the brewing technology of private wineries also very high.
Zhang Meng took a few people around and around, and came to the wine shop street in Nanshi with a familiar car.
This street is full of liquor shops selling liquor, and those who can sell liquor basically open a liquor workshop, a bit like the pattern of the front shop and the back factory in later generations, it is a whole store, and the people of Luoyang want to drink, they will come to the liquor shop street.
