"In addition to rouge made from red and blue flowers, there are also hollyhock flowers, heavy silk, black bean skin, pomegranate, mountain flowers and Sufang wood." Li Tao said eloquently: "In addition to these facial fats, the small shop also has lipsticks, head paste and clothes sachets. Ladies please look at this lip grease, a total of pomegranate Jiao, big red spring, small red spring, tender Wu Xiang, half of the Jiao, Wan Jinhong, holy sandalwood heart, dew, inner family round, Tiangong Qiao, Luo Er Yin, light red heart, orangutan halo, Xiao Zhulong, Ge Shuangtang, Mei Hua Nu a total of 16 kinds, and called rouge halo products. ”

"So many varieties?" The young man exclaimed.

Li Tao smiled and said: "The small shop not only has many varieties, but also has the best quality, and the prices are also different. ”

"Oh? Can you tell me more about it? "Snow Lotus seems to be interested.

Of course, this is an ordinary rouge, with impurities inside, and the color is thin, but the price is cheap, and you can buy a box for only a few dozen dollars. This is the purple rivet rouge of Nanfan, made of a kind of thin lac insect like 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 you don't believe it, you can try it. ”

"Can you still try it?" Snow Lotus's eyes widened.

"Of course you can try!"

Snow Lotus was not polite, according to her words, she saw that it was bright and abnormal, and it was sweet and fragrant, and even the man on the side saw it, and his eyes were full of brilliance.

"There is also this, called rose cotton rouge, which is the best. And it's not expensive. Li Tao continued.

"Superb? Is it that good? Snow Lotus didn't seem to believe it.

"Rose rouge, the selection of materials is very particular. Roses bloom, not only between the flowers but also between the flowers. The color of each petal in the same flower is very different, so it is necessary to pluck the flowers in the early morning when the roses are in full bloom, carefully select the petals of pure and consistent color, and discard the rest. After selecting the petals, they are placed in a clean stone mortar, slowly ground into a pulp, and filtered out all impurities with a filter made of spun yarn. Then take the newly reeled white silk of the year, press it into a round cake shape according to the size of the rouge cylinder. Soak in the flower juice, take it out after five or six days, dry it for three or four days, and let it dry thoroughly. before it is made into rose cotton rouge. ”

Li Tao gave a detailed introduction. Let the couple be very tempted.

The young man pointed to Xuelian and said to Li Tao: "Please ask the shopkeeper to recommend the best product for me, I will give it to her!" ”

"Huh?" As soon as he heard this, Li Tao was dumbfounded, if he bragged about it for a while, he was okay, but how did he know which product was the best here.

In desperation, Li Tao had no choice but to turn around and say, "Lin Tong, come here!" ”

Xue Lian glanced at Li Tao and said, "Aren't you the shopkeeper here?" What do you want him to do?! ”

Li Tao pointed at Lin Tong and smiled: "I am a fake shopkeeper, he is really a shopkeeper." ”

Lin Tong came over and took out a box of rouge from the cabinet. said to the man and woman: "This rose cotton rouge is the best rouge in the shop, and even the lady in the palace is full of praise." ”

Xue Lian took it in her hand and looked at it carefully: "This rouge box is jade?" ”

Lin Tong nodded and said, "Exactly." It is made of the finest mutton fat white Khotanese jade. ”

"It's Khotanyu's!" Xue Lian sighed slightly: "If the price is right, I want to buy it and give it to the eldest brother." ”

Li Tao was surprised on the side: "You buy a box of rouge and give it to your eldest brother?" What does a man's family want to do with rouge? ”

Xuelian smiled: "Of course the eldest brother doesn't want rouge, but he likes jade the most, I want to keep rouge for myself, and give him the jade box, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone." ”

The young man asked, "Shopkeeper, how much is this box of rouge?" ”

"Thirteen hundred!"

"Huh? So expensive! The young man exclaimed at the same time as Snow Lotus.

1,300 yuan is enough for a family to live for several years, but now a box of rouge costs 1,300 yuan, and the price is really outrageously high.

"We're not buying!" Cigar stammered: "It's too expensive." ”

The young man sighed and said, "Xuelian, you wait a few more days, and I will definitely buy it for you when I raise money." ”

Seeing this, Li Tao smiled and said, "Why wait a few more days, I will give you this rouge." ”

"To us?" Xuelian looked at Li Tao suspiciously: "Did you say count?" ”

Li Tao turned around and asked, "Did I say counting?" ”

Lin Tong Zhengse said: "He is the owner of our shop, and of course he said it." ”

"No way!" The young man said, "We don't know each other, so we can't ask you for something so valuable. ”

"The fact that the two of you and I can meet here today can be regarded as fate, things are dead, and people are alive. I am willing to make you two friends, even if it is a meeting gift, why be polite? ”

The young man was still a little hesitant: "But this meeting gift is also a little too expensive." ”

Li Tao excitedly said: "I have heard that the children of the grassland are bold and informal, and you are so twisted that I will underestimate it." If you feel uneasy, you can treat me to a meal! ”

Xue Lian was still free and easy, and she smiled: "Xiao Langjun is right, you are sincere, and if you are pretentious, you will fall behind." We accepted this meeting gift, but we have to invite Xiao Langjun to a light meal, which can be regarded as a slight expression of affection, and I hope that Xiao Langjun will not refuse. ”

"How could I refuse?" Li Tao suddenly said mysteriously: "But I still have a few people with me, and they have a surprisingly large amount of food, so I'm afraid that I will be poor for you." ”

……

In the private room in the Yonghe Building, the young man, Xue Lian, Li Tao, Hua Jingjing, Suo Na, Lu Yue'er, Pei Yue, and Li Bai had just sat down at the round table, and the guy brought up the menu: "I don't know which guest official ordered." ”

"This menu is still the earliest use of Yonghe Building, and now the menu is used in large and small restaurants in Chang'an City, which is really convenient!"

The young man took the menu and handed it to Li Tao: "Please Xiao Langjun order." ”

Li Tao took the menu, flipped through it casually, stacked it on the table, and said to the guy: "Go and invite your shopkeeper to come, I have something to say." ”

"Guest, please wait!" The man nodded and closed the door and went out.

"Xiao Langjun, what are you doing with their shopkeeper?" The young man wondered.

"Since you have a meal for dinner, you naturally want to eat comfortably!" Li Tao joked: "You won't be really afraid that I will eat you, right?" ”

"How so?" The young man patted his chest and said, "Xiao Langjun, please feel free!" ”

After a while, the shopkeeper Zhao entered the private room, and when he saw Li Tao taken aback, he was about to step forward to give a salute.

Li Tao waved his hand and said, "That's it, I'll arrange a few dishes for you, you have to think of a way to see if you can do it for me!" ”

"Boss, please speak!" Shopkeeper Zhao said: "Little Lao'er should do his best. ”

"The owner?" Xue Lian was surprised: "You are the owner here?" (To be continued......)
