Xia Shangshang gave Su Yun a thin layer of gouache, and Su Yun's facial features were good. Su Yun touched her face in surprise, and her eyes were in a trance. Under the cover of gouache, the acne on Su Yun's face was covered, and the face that used to be blue and red was as white as jade, because of the haggard face of long-term labor, it was covered up without a trace. Su Yun looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and saw herself who was still at home as a daughter when she was twenty-eight years old.
Xia Shangshang looked at his mother in front of him, and his heart was also satisfied. I really didn't expect that what I made casually was not inferior to any modern foundation, and even more natural and conformable than those foundations with added chemicals.
"Shangshang, you are amazing!" Xia Mu praised from the bottom of her heart.
"If I had one, I wouldn't be like this······" As if thinking of something, Xia Mu's eyes dimmed.
Xia Shangshang looked at Su Yun like this, and he was also distressed. Women in this era have to go to the fields to do farm work, but also to take care of housework at home, and their busy lives have long eroded their skin little by little, living like dogs all day long, and being disgusted by their husbands like pigs when they are old and ugly.
"Mother, I will never let this kind of tragedy happen again in the future!" Xia Shangshang said firmly.
Su Yun sneered, and couldn't help but look forward to it, I really wanted to know what kind of madness Xia Shangshang would cause after this product was launched!
Xia Shangshang planned to wait for the morning market tomorrow to bring gouache to the market. At night, she and Su Yun weaved more than a dozen delicate small bamboo frames overnight, laid them out with oiled paper underneath in a regular manner, and carefully divided the gouache into even small portions. Xia Shangshang was very satisfied after looking at the finished product he made. Although it is a little simpler, the things woven from bamboo are a little more elegant.
That night, Xia Shangshang fell asleep anxiously.
"Merchant! Merchants! Wake up! ”
Hmm······ It's really sleepy. Xia Shangshang looked sleepy, put on a small basket on his back and followed Xia Mu to the market.
The market in ancient times was still very prosperous, and there were peddlers and pawns selling everything, and Xia merchants went to the ancient market for the first time, and their eyes were wide open and full of freshness to look at everything around them.
"Hmph, dirt buns!" A woman selling silk gave a disdainful glance.
······
Xia Mu's face turned white in an instant, she gritted her silver teeth and continued to walk forward.
The woman was even more proud, holding her arms and dragging her chin with a noble and cold face, "No wonder others say that it is born from the heart, I don't know what evil I have done if I am so ugly."
Xia Mu's face turned white again, today Xia Shangshang only used aloe vera gel for her before going out, and did not cover it with gouache, saying that her face has not recovered yet, and using too much gouache will block the pores, which is not good for the skin.
In fact, Su Yun's skin is much better than before, and the hideous abscesses on her face before have now become small pimples. Although it is still uncomfortable to look at the face, it is much better than the swollen appearance before!
Xia Mu was about to step forward to argue, but Xia Shangshang grabbed her.
"Mother, there is no need to quarrel with this kind of garbage. lest they degrade their own pattern. ”
Xia Shangshang's voice was not loud or small, but it was enough for the people around him and the women to hear. The woman's face changed greatly, and she was about to scold, but Xia Shangshang smiled indifferently and took Xia's mother away. If you have this time to argue, it is better to find a good position and sell the gouache at a good price.
Su Yun smiled secretly, the woman's face was angry like pig liver!
"Sell gouache ~ pure natural and additive-free gouache! Quality assurance, no bullying! Xia Shangshang and Su Yun set up the gouache and began to shout hard.
On both sides of the stalls of Xia merchants were buying rice and eggs, and it was the first time they had seen such items being sold. The neighboring businesses are a bit of a novelty. An uncle with a beard who sold wild game poked his head and asked curiously, "Big sister, what are you selling?" ”
Xia Shangshang saw that there was no business for a long time, and he was a little discouraged. Seeing that the people in the morning market gradually dispersed, his heart became more and more anxious, and he still answered the uncle's question seriously with a calm face: "Uncle, this is the gouache I made at home, and I paint the items for my daughter's house, which can make my complexion better." ”
The uncle blurted out: "Is it really so amazing? My lady gave birth to a child and was hurt by sin, and her complexion was not very good! It's been so long, and I still don't want to go out to meet people. Can I improve it with this? ”
Xia Shangshang saw that the business opportunity was coming, and his eyes lit up. "Not really! Xia Shangshang took out a sample product, took a sponge and spread it carefully on Su Yun's hand. Soon, the back of Su Yun's hand, which was originally a little yellow, immediately became white and flawless.
Uncle's eyes lit up, "Big sister! How do you sell this thing? ”
Xia Shangshang thought about it for a while, and the production cost of this thing was estimated to be only a few pennies. Seeing that the uncle was dedicated to his wife's sincerity, Xia Shangshang couldn't bear to sell at a high price.
"Uncle Fifty Dollars!" Xia Shangshang thought about it and reported a number after considering it.
The uncle was overjoyed, and immediately took out his money bag and counted the money and gave it to Xia Shangshang. Xia Shangshang looked at today's first income, and his heart was a little sour, this business is really not easy. As soon as Mrs. Ruhua opened her mouth, she was three taels, and she only earned 50 wen after working all morning.
Su Yun was very happy, this was the first time she had sold 50 wen at once, and she used to sell tea in the bazaar, all of which were a few or a dozen wen. A transaction of 50 wen is enough for the family to eat for several days. It would be nice to have such an income every day!
There were still more than a dozen boxes of gouache left in the basket, and Xia Shangshang originally came with the expectation that the gouache would be sold out. It took a morning to sell a box, which made Xia Shangshang a little disappointed.
"Big sister, your gouache is so good, why don't you sell it in the East District?" Uncle said happily.
"The East End?" Xia Shangshang was a little confused, he followed his mother from the future town.
"That's right! It's the most prosperous area here, and it's populated by old men and officials. Come to think of it, where to go, Miss Maiden or something, I will like it more. ”
Xia Shangshang's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't he think of it. Most of the people who come to the market to buy things are ordinary people, or old people who cook in the house, and it is really unrealistic for them to spend a few days of living expenses to buy gouache.
"Uncle, dare to ask where is the East District?"
The uncle nodded and said earnestly: "But you will probably be wronged when you go over there, there are a lot of slaves over there who look down on people!" ”
Xia Shangshang smiled indifferently, as long as the things were good! I'm afraid of that Rausch minion! When the time comes, they will come to their knees and beg themselves not to sell! Xia Shangshang has absolute confidence in his works.
