Chapter 233: Animal Stains

Ma Chao opened a treasure shop, and took advantage of his position to contact some local squires and sell them his treasure shop. After a few days like this, Ma Chao felt that something was wrong, there was no concept of epidemic prevention in ancient times, and pets ate better than servants, and generally did not get sick.

Even if you come here occasionally, you can earn a few copper coins.

The idea is good, but the reality is tough. The opening of this treasure hall did not bring profit to Ma Chao, until one day, Ma Chao saw the eldest lady taking care of her hair. Women are the ones who please themselves, and when the eldest lady comes to Tanzhou, she can't let herself be exposed to the wind and sun, and she also has to dress up.

These sisters get along well, and at night, who did Ma Chao go, and the other two always felt that they didn't feel good in their hearts, so they would have some careful thoughts, such as dressing themselves up or something.

Ma Chao himself is also very distressed, he has to pay some public food to whoever he goes, he divides his love into three, and he feels that he has no skills, and suddenly has an idea that he doesn't want to marry a wife.

The method of maintaining the hair of women in ancient times was very simple, as early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a natural way to dye hair. "Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's Harem Fragrance Prescription" records that there is a hair dye prescription - soybean decoction, the composition of the recipe is very simple, that is, black soybeans and vinegar syrup. Soak the black soybeans in vinegar for 24~48 hours, heat and cook them together, filter out the slag, and then slowly boil them over low heat to make a thick paste. This is a natural hair dye cream, when used, wash the hair, and apply the ointment once a day when the hair is dry. According to this book, black soybeans are sweet and flat, which can tonify the kidneys and strengthen the spleen, and are a good medicine for black hair; Vinegar slurry is rice vinegar, with black soybeans, can dye gray hair, this method has been handed down in large households.

Seeing this, Ma Chao's inspiration came suddenly, in modern times, many rich people dye their pets into flowers. There was no such idea in ancient times, and Ma Chao decided to sell it.

Ma Chao knows a few ways to dye his hair, such as henna flowers and tea...... In addition, there are some Chinese herbal prescriptions, in this regard, Ma Chao still has to rely on Nameless, with Nameless's understanding of herbal medicine, it is easy to make several other dyes.

……

After making the dye, he invited a local squire surnamed Qin to dinner, and at the dinner table, Ma Chao told Boss Qin about the idea of changing the color of this pet, this Boss Qin is very fond of cats and dogs, and collects the types of cats and dogs. Boss Qin doesn't particularly like to deal with officials, and every time he is a little forced, but Ma Chao is an exception, he has seen Ma Chao's red-headed eagle, emerald snake, basalt turtle and the little white tiger that has grown like a big cat before he knows it.

Ma Chao can raise this kind of magical pet, Boss Qin originally regarded Ma Chao as an immortal, and when he heard that he could change color, he was even more amazed.

Henna, also known as impatiens, is an annual herb in the Amaranth family.

The flower colors include pink, red, purple, white and yellow, sprinkled gold and other colors.

Boss Qin chose the purple color that represents the great wealth, in addition to the main henna flower, but also several special herbs, Nameless finally mediated the first purple hair dye, Boss Qin's puppy turned purple, and for a while, the whole Tanzhou was a sensation.

Ma Chao's threshold was flattened overnight.

Even so, Ma Chao did not sell it aggressively, he took the method of starvation sales, Ma Chao's statement is very simple, this kind of thing is not made by me, my supply is limited, you can bid, the highest price will get.

To this end, Ma Chao also discovered a new business opportunity, which had no auction house in ancient times. (To be continued.) )
