Chapter 224: Skillful
Li Hui listened to Li Le's proposal, and immediately nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation, and even nodded a few more times in order to show her sincerity.
It's really like a nod of garlic.
In Li Le's eyes, Li Hui at this moment was as innocent as a child who was eager to perform, and she couldn't help but feel a little glad in her heart for her trust in her.
Everyone will have their own strengths, and if Li Hui can really rely on this skill to gain a firm foothold in the Li family like her, it will also be a great gain for Li Hui herself.
As long as she is no longer unfavorable to her like in her previous life, Li Le will not ignore her.
Because he had a clear understanding of the situation of the rouge shop before, Li Le patiently stayed by Li Hui's side to watch her make rouge.
Even Shuang'er couldn't help but be attracted to her, she was a little embarrassed at first to hide half of her body behind Li Le, until the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, she simply took two steps to the front.
"The technique is skillful, and the production process is memorized." The shopkeeper watching from the side was surprised, "I didn't expect that our daughter's daughter still has such skills!" ”
The more he looked at him, the more down-to-earth he became, and Li Hui had obviously become his own person in his eyes.
Li Hui was praised by the shopkeeper, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help showing a smile, and the movements in her hands were faster.
She wrung out the juice from the flowers used to make rouge, and then strained the juice through fine gauze onto another delicate porcelain dish.
The white and red complement each other, regardless of the finished product, just fiddling with these colors and spices is enough to make people happy. Li Le watched it with more and more interest.
Taking advantage of Li Hui's efforts to steam the final product, an idea suddenly popped up in Li Le's mind.
Her gaze fell on the flames that were dancing under the shallow tray, and she seemed to be distracted, but in fact she was constantly refining the idea.
"Okay, sister, let's try it!"
A crisp voice interrupted her train of thought, and Li Le raised her eyes to see a white jade box in the palm of Li Hui's palm with an expectant expression.
She took it gently, and her eyes saw Li Hui's red cheeks that were flushed with nervousness and excitement.
The white jade box is similar to the ones in the store, but what is surprising is that the moment the box is opened, the bright and unusual paste exudes a pungent fragrance, giving people the illusion of being in a sea of spring flowers.
With a little more appreciation in his eyes, Li Le raised his hand and pulled off a jade orchid-shaped hairpin on his head, gently picked up a little rouge on the edge of the box, and smeared it on the back of her delicate and white hand.
I saw that the soft and transparent paste had reached her skin, and it was easily pushed away.
"If you want different colors and textures, you can add water to them as you wish." Li Hui explained in due course.
Li Le glanced at Shuang'er and saw that she was staring at the rouge in her hand.
She had an idea, and dipped her fingers in some water to touch the rouge on the back of her hand again.
As soon as they came into contact with the water, the crimson paste gradually transformed into a pale red.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but stretch out her onion white fingertips and wipe them on her full lips, and her eyes suddenly widened with excitement.
Then, Li Le evenly applied the remaining rouge to Shuang'er's cheeks, and a delicate beauty appeared.
The shopkeeper nodded with joy, as if he had seen the white silver beckoning to him.
Shuang'er saw the amazement in the eyes of others, and went to the mirror curiously, and sure enough, she found that this rouge was brightly colored, which made her sweet and pleasant.
Li Le carefully observed Shuang'er in front of the mirror and found that she was also very satisfied, and even unconsciously looked at Li Hui frequently.
"The effect is good, I didn't expect you to be quite powerful." Li Le praised sincerely.
This skill was something she had never known in her previous life.
Of course, she knows that a person's interests and hobbies are the source of developing her specialties, and now that she has obtained talents in this area, she will inevitably place Li Hui in the most suitable position for her.
was a little shy to be praised by her, Li Hui lowered her head slightly, and her eyes fell on the open space in front of her, but she was very happy in her heart.
Being recognized by Li Le is simply the most meaningful thing for her during this time.
The facts have confirmed Li Hui's level, and even Shuang'er has no prejudices.
The problem is solved.
"I have one more idea." Li Le finally put forward her idea, and Li Hui stared at her without blinking, not knowing what she was going to say next.
When they came before, the shopkeeper was facing the trouble of not being able to find a handicraft master, seeing their satisfied looks, Li Hui thought in her heart that this matter should fall on her head.
In other words, from now on, she can also have her own upright job like Li Le, who practices medical consultation.
She felt new about her upcoming life, and she was so excited that her breath was a little short: "Sister, please speak." ”
"Would you like to stay here and help?" Li Le asked out loud, she knew in her heart that Li Hui should be willing, but since she had been thinking about it for a long time, she must not be able to summarize it in such a simple sentence.
Then he added: "Of course it's not for nothing, you can take forty percent of the profits of the entire shop when you settle at the end of the month." ”
She finished speaking slowly, and everyone present was taken aback.
Li Hui stood in place in a daze, her mouth forgot to close, and she looked at Li Le with wide eyes and an incredible look.
After a long time, she reacted, and hesitated to speak: "What my sister said, is it true?" Can I also share the profits in the shop? ”
Li Le smiled faintly, raised his chin and motioned for her to look at the shopkeeper and Shuang'er beside her, put his hands behind his back, and pretended to be old-fashioned: "Tong Su is not bullied, someone is there." ”
All of a sudden, the surprise plummeted like a summer rainstorm, but it made the people in it feel comfortable.
The corners of Li Hui's mouth were crooked, and there was a faint watery glow in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Li Le didn't have to guess what she was going to say, so he hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted the lyrical words that Li Hui was about to blurt out.
"Excuse me, manage it well, if it is a loss, be careful that I don't let you go." She pursed her lips and said to Li Hui as if dissatisfied.
In fact, even if Li Hui's level is not so good, they can save a price difference, not to mention that now there is such a suitable handicraft master.
was interrupted by her like this, Li Hui suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and then she adjusted her mood and replied with a solemn face: "Don't worry, sister, I already like these things, and I didn't dare to think that there would be a shop to realize those strange ideas." ”
God knows how much she had learned privately in terms of spice knowledge alone, but this feeling of finally putting what she had learned into practice made her eager to make a ten-style and eight-style rouge at once, attracting the attention of all the women in the city.
I have long heard that women's money is the best to make, and Li Hui feels that she can't wait.
"Thank you sister for giving me this opportunity, please wait and see, our rouge shop will be famous in the city soon!" She reassured Li Le with a smile.
With her assurance, Li Le couldn't help but smile, after all, she was young, and Li Hui's girl at this moment was full of mentality, and she could simply let people off all their defenses.
In the previous life, that Li Hui should never appear again, and there seemed to be something in Li Le's heart that gradually disappeared.
She was glad that she had let go of the mustard in her heart and accepted this Li Hui, who had not made a mistake yet.
It's always a blessing to have one less potential enemy and one more like-minded ally.
Li Hui suddenly remembered their previous itinerary, she looked at Li Le and looked down at the white jade box in her hand.
As if he was doing some kind of ideological struggle, Li Hui hesitated and said, "That...... Sister, I really don't want to delay a moment on other things now. I want to stay here to do rouge, and I can't go shopping with my sister anymore. ”
In the end, she even lowered her head in embarrassment.
Li Le chuckled, waved his hand and said, "What should I do?" It doesn't matter, I happen to have other things to do. ”
Originally, she just wanted to go to Qingbaotang, but Li Hui took the initiative to find her, so she had today's inspection shop, but she solved a difficult matter by mistake. Therefore, she did not have any dissatisfaction in her heart.
Seeing that the light in her eyes was clear and flawless, and the tone of her voice was not unpleasant, Li Hui really put her mind at ease.
She felt more and more that her choice of Li Le was really the wisest move in so long, not only to share the profits, but also to stay with the things she liked every day.
Li Le felt that she would not have the intention of harming others for a long time in the future, and sure enough, Li Hui's essence was not a bad person.
Being able to get such a blood-related ally, Li Le was also full of joy, and there was even a trace of warmth in his heart.
Since she wanted to stay by herself, Li Le was not reluctant.
"Then I'll go first, and you can stay here. I'll pick you up later. After a pause, she added uneasily: "Don't run around." ”
The tone of her voice couldn't help but remind Li Hui of her mother, but she didn't expect that one day Li Le would care about her like this.
"Okay, sister." She said obediently and sent Li Le to the door, "Sister, you wait for me to make you a unique rouge, and then my sister will be a fairy!" ”
Li Le was about to step out of the threshold with one foot, and turned back with a smile in his eyes. She patted the back of Li Hui's hand under her and said, "You can save it, just do it well." ”
Li Hui smiled slightly and agreed, but in her heart, she still wanted to give Li Le a box of the best rouge.
As when he came, Li Le got into the carriage again with the help of Li Hui. She stood respectfully beside the car by herself.
Seeing that Li Le was the only one in the car, the coachman hurriedly asked respectfully, "Where is Miss going next?" ”
Li Le thought about it for a while, settled Li Hui, and she didn't need to go shopping anymore. Then he commanded: "Let's go to the Green Bag Hall." ”
The carriage quickly disappeared from view.
