Chapter 192: Lipstick
Li Jing Mansion.
"Dad, where did you get the strawberries?" Li Dejian asked.
"The prince sent it." Li Jing said.
"Why didn't he send it before? I thought he wouldn't send it. Li Dejian said.
Li Jing said: "I want to lead the troops to fight, so he sent it." ”
"Dad, why don't you go too?" Li Dejian asked.
"No, this time it shouldn't be a simple war, there may be a shortage of food and grass, and the place of Tuyuhun is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they occupy a favorable position." Li Jing said.
"Dad, you are so old, you should have returned to your hometown a long time ago, or you should play a role for the saint and let him change people." Li De said.
Li Jing sighed: "I can still do it, besides, what does the saint mean by giving me this cane?" Just let me continue to serve, and this time I was given the position of the head of the Saikaido March, and I had to go. ”
Li Dejian: "Then take me, I will take care of you with the army." ”
Li Jing thought for a while: "Dejian, you have a heart, okay, you just let me go." ”
Prince's Mansion.
Lu Zihou hurriedly came: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have good news, what you asked us to do has been made!" ”
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, he asked others to do a lot of things, can he know which one?
"Make it clear!" Li Chengqian said.
"It's that lipstick." Lu Zihou said.
"Lipstick?"
Li Chengqian remembered that the previous stick glue gave him this inspiration, and he did ask his subordinates to study lipstick.
"Have you made a sample? Show me. Li Chengqian said.
"Brought."
Lu Zihou took out a cylindrical gadget made of wood and handed it to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian carefully observed this lipstick, the log was carved, and it felt good.
He tried to pull out the red lid, and the lipstick inside made Li Chengqian stunned.
It's actually flat! Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, and he really did it according to the appearance of stick glue!
"Wrong, totally wrong, very wrong!" Li Chengqian said.
"Why?" Lu Zihou didn't understand it very much.
This sample, but they spent a lot of effort to make it, not to mention the carving on the outside, and the core on the inside, they studied it for a long time before they made the rouge harder.
And the secret is beeswax, with the addition of some edible beeswax, rouge is also safe and edible, so as to keep the lipstick safe.
Now Li Chengqian made a big mistake and made him extremely depressed.
"You look at people's lips, they have curvatures, and then look at your lipstick, the head is flat, how can it be used on the lips?" Li Chengqian said.
"And what should it look like?" Lu Zihou asked.
"The lipstick core inside should be a little curved and pointed on the head." Li Chengqian said.
Lu Zihou was a little puzzled, and several onlookers who were eating strawberries also looked at Li Chengqian.
There was no way, Li Chengqian had to take out a knife and use the knife to sharpen the lipstick.
Probably similar to the usual lipstick, Li Chengqian nodded, very satisfied.
"You see, that's the kind of lipstick." Li Chengqian said.
Lu Zihou was puzzled: "Your Highness, did you feel anything when you cut it?" ”
Li Chengqian recalled, indeed, this lipstick is quite soft.
"Soft?" Li Chengqian said.
"Yes, it's quite soft, even if it's flat, it can be easily applied to the mouth, and it's made of beeswax, so you can eat it." Lu Zihou said.
Li Chengqian sighed: "You really don't seem to have thought of what the benefits of this are." ”
Lu Zihou was puzzled: "What is it?" ”
"Look, what are these cuts?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Lipstick scum?" Lu Zihou asked.
"No, it's money! If you have less lipstick, you can make more lipstick with a hundred! Li Chengqian said.
Lu Zihou: "......"
"Negative sentiment from Lu Zihou, +188"
Li Chengqian's idea is also absolutely amazing, it is indeed very insightful, more than one hundred, too profitable!
Li Chengqian saw that Lu Zihou seemed to think that his statement was not good, and he said, "Are you still a businessman?" Isn't that how making money is, adding up to a lot? ”
Lu Zihou had no choice but to say: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands well, I have been taught." ”
Li Chengqian continued: "And, do you see how it shapes after I cut off some lipstick? ”
When he spoke, he was a little bit of a thing, and several people stared at the lipstick.
"Huh? How does this look so similar to my xx? Fang Jun said.
Everyone is speechless, see through it and don't say it! Why did Fang Jun suddenly have such a bright brain?
Li Chengqian coughed embarrassedly: "Cough, look, let's have another lipstick advertisement, if you love her, you will give her lipstick, in this way, the lipstick will inevitably be a big sale!" ”
"Great idea!" Lu Zihou said.
Li Chengqian said: "I will leave this sample first, you go and prepare, start selling it early, this thing was invented by me, others want to make lipstick, I will sue them to death!" ”
Lu Zihou left.
"Who are you going to give this lipstick you left behind?" Duhe asked.
"Don't meddle with things!" Li Chengqian said.
He took the sample lipstick and went to find Mo Yu.
Everyone else has strawberries to eat, and Mo Yu naturally has strawberries, unlike others, she always has strawberries on the table in her residence.
To be honest, it is a very magical experience to give the eldest wife something from the second wife, and the taste of it is not enough for outsiders also, one word, cool!
"Mo Yu, are strawberries delicious?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Delicious! I've never eaten such a delicious fruit! "Mo Yu said.
"It's delicious, it's every day in the future, don't get tired of eating, by the way, I have a good thing here, I have to show you." Li Chengqian said.
"What?" Mo Yu asked.
Li Chengqian said: "Lipstick, make your lips more red." ”
As he spoke, he took out the lipstick, unscrewed it, and showed it to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu covered his mouth and laughed: "This thing looks so ugly!" ”
Li Chengqian: "??? ”
He looked at Mo Yu and found that this little girl's eyes were full of banter, and it was obvious that he could see that the lipstick was similar to something.
Okay, I'm bad at learning, I can see it at a glance.
Li Chengqian coughed uprightly: "What do you want?" It's a good thing to keep your lips from drying. ”
"But my lips aren't dry." Ink Rain Road.
"That's because you're still young, and of course young people's lips aren't dry, and it's different when you're older." Li Chengqian said.
"That means I don't need it right now, right?"
"No, of course it's needed now, I like the way your lips are red." Li Chengqian said.
"Then I can apply some rouge." Mo Yu said, "Wasn't it all like this before?" ”
Li Chengqian frowned: "Why are you like a bartender, what do I say, you have to do it with me?" I say this lipstick is good, of course, because it is better to apply to the mouth than ordinary rouge. ”
"Why?" Mo Yu asked.
"Because it's edible, it's made of beeswax, and the rouge used is also the kind that can be eaten." Li Chengqian said.
Mo Yu was surprised, according to Li Chengqian's statement, this lipstick is indeed very powerful, when she used to put rouge on her mouth, she didn't dare to lick her lips, and she would feel bad when she ate it.
Lipstick seems to be the perfect solution to this point!
"Give it a try." Ink Rain Road.
Li Chengqian handed the lipstick to Mo Yu, and Mo Yu tried to apply a circle on his lips, which felt really good, even with a fragrance and sweetness.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became interested in the taste of this lipstick.
If it were an ordinary person, she would lick her lips to try this taste, but Mo Yu is not an ordinary person! She licked her lipstick.
Li Chengqian: "??? ”
Before, Mo Yu could clearly see that the lipstick looked similar to Jaguar, but now, licking it like this again, Li Chengqian couldn't help it.
This woman managed to get his attention!
The lipstick shop opened, and the place chosen was very professional, which was Pingkangfang.
As a newly opened cosmetics store, the name quickly caught the attention of passers-by.
"Lipstick shop? What a strange name! ”
"yes, I know rouge gouache, what is lipstick?"
Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
"Sister, I opened a lipstick shop across the door, and a lot of business in our store has been robbed!" A servant girl said.
"Lipstick shop? Is it a new name? Why is it so weird? ”
"It's a makeup seller." The maidservant continued.
Zheng Cai'er was slightly surprised, as one of the few Oiran, she naturally likes cosmetics, she has a complete range of cosmetics here, but there is no lipstick!
"Go buy me one."
The servant girl was embarrassed, she just said casually, how can she get herself a chore?
There was a long queue at that place, and she was afraid she would have to wait a day.
"Sister spare my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it today, that place is already overcrowded." The maidservant said.
"Useless thing, you pass on my words, who wants to talk to me tonight, bring a lipstick from the lipstick shop." Zheng Caier said.
"Yes." The maidservant said.
Scholars, rich people know about this, they are all restless, Zheng Caier is not necessarily very flattering to those dignitaries and nobles on weekdays, but now, he is willing to talk to them for a lipstick.
They were determined to grab a lipstick.
Most of the people in the lipstick shop are looking at it, not because they don't want to buy it, but they really can't afford it!
A small lipstick, the asking price is ten times, ten thousand dollars!
And the explanation given by the lipstick shop is also very honest.
This is the first batch of lipsticks made, and the people facing it are not ordinary people, but dignitaries, and the first lipstick was received by His Royal Highness the Prince.
Now, no one says anything, they can't afford it, it's still okay to see.
They're finally getting in, okay? I queued for half a day.
Naturally, these people can't all try lipstick, and there are specially hired models in the store who specialize in wearing lipstick.
is a very watery eighteen-year-old girl, pure and lovely.
Lipstick is applied to the mouth as early as the first time I apply lipstick, and the subsequent application is all a performance.
But it was this time that the lipstick was not applied to the mouth, causing a wolf howl from the man in the store.
What is this little girl doing? Looking innocent and cute, how to do this kind of thing!
They can't hold down the guns!
Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, the shopkeeper hurriedly called someone out from behind, it was a few black-armored forbidden soldiers.
"If you don't buy it, look at it for a while and leave quickly, don't affect the boss's business!" Forbidden Military Road.
Everyone had to leave reluctantly.
The boss that the forbidden army is talking about is not the owner of the shop, the boss they are talking about is naturally Li Chengqian, the boss behind the scenes.
Soon, the majority of the shops were women.
When they learned about lipstick, they were even more excited than just watching the men.
"It's so pretty!"
"yes, no, I have to go back and ask my man to buy me one!"
The shopkeeper was very excited when he saw that the people here, and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, everyone, the lipstick at an ordinary price will be made immediately, and the effect is no worse than this 10,000 yuan lipstick, which is only sold for 500 yuan." ”
The eyes of the women lit up, five hundred dollars, they all bought it!
Although 10,000 yuan is expensive, there are still people who can afford it, and these people directly smash ten yuan on the counter, and then carefully take away the small lipstick.
Obviously, these people are running errands and buying for others.
The popularity of lipstick is reasonable, Li Chengqian felt that something was wrong, and he thought that this thing was not sent to Empress Changsun.
Isn't this purely self-inflicted?
He hurriedly found someone to go to the place where lipstick was produced, asked for a batch of lipstick, and then wrapped ten of them and asked people to give them to Empress Changsun.
Fortunately, the eldest grandson queen, who lives in the harem, does not know about popular things quickly, and when Li Chengqian sent these ten lipsticks, she didn't know about the hot lipsticks.
In fact, it was only an hour or two late, and she didn't know that it was normal.
"It's a novelty, but it's a not-so-novel gadget." The eldest grandson queen said.
"What does the queen mean?"
"This thing is not as strange as the things Gao Ming made before, and he can't even figure out the material, this lipstick is very simple, wood, rouge, beeswax, are all things we know." The eldest grandson queen said.
The maidservant on the side nodded, what the eldest grandson queen said was quite reasonable.
"I don't know if Gao Ming has sent some to Lizhi, and Lizhi has also reached the age of makeup." The eldest grandson queen said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no last resort, and he does everything without leakage, and he should not forget his own sister."
"I hope so, otherwise, Gao Ming will be in trouble." The eldest grandson queen said.
She knows Li Li's temper very well, after all, she is used to it with Li Er.
Princess Changle Mansion.
"Princess Changle, the slave maid heard that lipstick is a very powerful cosmetics, so she asked people to buy it, but she hasn't bought it back until now, I don't know if something went wrong."
Li Lizhi said: "What does it do? ”
"It is said that when applied to the mouth, it will make the lips more rosy."
Li Li held her chin and thought about it, the name of this thing is new, so it is very likely to be related to Li Chengqian.
And what made her most angry was that Li Chengqian didn't send her some lipstick.
After her last birthday, she directly announced that Li Chengqian's gift to her was the best, and even the gift of her father and queen mother was not as good as Li Chengqian's gift, which made Li Chengqian in the limelight for a while, and now, Li Chengqian has something good to forget about her, which is unforgivable!
"Prepare the car, I'm going to the Prince's Mansion." Li Li asked.
"What are you doing in the Prince's Mansion?" The maidservant was puzzled.
"Make a big fuss in the Prince's Mansion!" Li Li said fiercely.
The maidservant was scared for a while, and Li Lizhi lost her temper, but she was very cruel.
"Sneeze ......".
Li Chengqian sneezed, and he couldn't help muttering.
"I have a cold? No way! ”
