Chapter Seventy-Nine: Making Rouge
Zhu Wu saw that she smashed all the petals, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only lie down and pick the petals again and again and send them back.
Qin Qin Xuechu felt that she couldn't lift her arms anymore, so she asked Zhu Wu not to pick them and stayed to help her mash the petals.
The juice is placed in a white porcelain pot, and the purple-red flower juice exudes a rich fragrance.
Qin Qin Xuechu used scissors to cut the silk cloth he bought back into pieces, and used it as a strainer to intercept the petals, leaving only a clean and pure purple-red flower juice.
Yes, Qin Qin Xue originally planned to make rouge out. In her previous life, she would often go to the flower shed in the suburbs to pick flower petals, and when she went home, she would make rouge by herself, and add spiritual spring water in the process of doing it, and the final product would be very moisturizing.
In her previous life, many people would spend money to ask Qin Qin Xuechu to make rouge for them, which was also a side hustle for her.
Knowing that she was going to make rouge, Zhu Wu was very surprised, and then how could he think that Qin Qin Xue was originally a maid in a big family, and it must have been at that time that he learned it.
The process of making rouge is relatively long, and the flowers near the broken temple are almost picked by Zhu Wu, who has to get up early every day and go farther away to pick those bright flowers.
On the day that a batch of rouge was made, Qin Qin Xuechu dipped some rouge on her arm with her fingertips, it was smooth but not greasy, and the color was also very good, she put her hand over for Zhu Wu to see, "Do you think it looks good?" ”
The girl's sweet fragrance came to her face, and Zhu Wu was embarrassed to look away, not daring to look at her, so he said, "It's beautiful."
In the past few days, he has not gone out, and he has secretly taken Lingquan water every night, and Qin Qin Xuechu's original black and yellow skin has visibly turned white to the naked eye, and even molted.
Not to mention that she touches these petals every day, and the whole person is smoked with a floral fragrance, and He's original stinky and ugly appearance is completely different.
Zhu Wu was already interested in her, and now it is even more so.
Qin Qinxue snickered when she saw that Zhu Wu was shy, she liked to tease him like this like a cat, but she didn't dare to look at herself.
After making the rouge but there was no place to put it, he asked Zhu Wu to go to the market to buy some boxes with rouge and come back, but who knew that the boxes were too expensive, and Zhu Wu didn't have enough rouge, so he came back empty-handed.
Is it hard to catch some fish and buy it? But Zhu Wu has always been there, and he can't use the spiritual spring water in front of him.
Qin Qin Xuechu had no choice but to use a porcelain basin with rouge and a small spoon in it to go to the market.
She went to the cloth shop last time and borrowed a chair, spread the silk cloth on the chair, and placed the rouge basin on it.
"Take a look, take a look, see if you don't want to be scolded! Handmade rouge is cheap to buy, trade in the old for the new! If you don't want to use up the rouge box at home, you can use it to change rouge! As long as you add thirty-five Wenshao! It's not easy to start a small business, so buy it cheaply! ”
Qin Qin Xuechu shouted loudly, Zhu Wu didn't follow her today, after all, she wanted to buy rouge, and it was inconvenient to have her there.
She chose to be at the door of the cloth shop, and most of the people who went in and out to buy cloth were women, and she would see Qin Qin Xuechu covering the white basin with a lid, saying that it was filled with rouge, and some people were aroused.
"Is this really rouge?" The questioner was a beautiful white woman, followed by a young girl.
The girl was in a hurry to leave, pulled her and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't we have no money, why do we have to buy this kind of inferior goods, can't we go to the Zangfang Pavilion to take a look?"
"Sister-in-law, look at what my rouge is saying, I promise that you will never find a good rouge like me in the whole street." Qin Qin Xuechu was extremely confident in the effect of her craft, Heling Spring Water.
Before the woman could speak, the girl sneered and said, "The ignorant are fearless, I'm afraid that you haven't entered the Tibetan Fang Pavilion, and you don't know that the Xiangniang there is from a big place, and even the girls and ladies in the county will ask her to buy rouge?" What are you? ”
Qin Qin Xuechu smiled generously and replied to her: "I'm not ignorant, I'm just very confident in my rouge, and in addition to my sister-in-law's appearance, if I use my rouge, I'm afraid that the whole street will be fascinated by her, so I can't help but want her to try."
When the people around heard the two of them arguing, they all came over curiously to see the excitement, and at this time, when they saw that the white woman was actually praised by Qin Qin Xuechu, her face was blushing, and her eyebrows and eyes were really good-looking.
"Okay Xiuxiu, if you want to go to Zangfang Pavilion, my sister-in-law will accompany you later, why don't you take a look at this girl's rouge now."
The white pure woman gently broke free of Xiuxiu's hand and stood in front of Qin Qin Xuechu, "Please also ask this girl to let me see your rouge." ”
Xiuxiu was dissatisfied with Qin Qin Xuechu's flamboyant tongue, and deliberately said loudly: "She is so ugly, how can the rouge she made be so good?"
Qin Qin Xuechu didn't seem to hear it, and opened the lid to expose the rouge for everyone to see, the color of the rouge was red, and there was a little purple in the red, which was a color scheme that they had never seen before.
Sure enough, it looks very strange.
With a little rouge on her fingertips, the white woman lowered her head and asked Qin Qin Xuechu to dress her up, she only felt that the delicate rouge slid on her skin, just like the skin was originally one and as natural and obedient.
"Wow, this color is so beautiful!"
"Zangfang Pavilion shouldn't have this color, right?"
The rouge made by Qin Qin Xue at the beginning of the year with Lingquan has the effect of emollient skin maintenance, and the color matching is novel and beautiful, which naturally attracts the attention of the women around her.
The women whispered, unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts, as if they had been smeared with such a beautiful rouge.
"That's it!" Qin Qin Xuechu took out the small bronze mirror that had been prepared a long time ago and let the woman look at it for herself, "You see I didn't lie to you, sure enough, you are extremely beautiful, and you are the most suitable for my family's rouge." ”
The white woman looked at herself in the mirror happily, and said, "Sister, look, how is this rouge?"
Naturally it's good-looking! Xiuxiu was also very surprised, this stall owner was wearing tatters, and he didn't look very good, but he could make such a good-looking rouge!
It's just that she refused to bow her head and admit it, so she snorted and pretended not to see it.
The white woman put down the mirror and asked Qin Qin Xuechu, "How can I buy this rouge, girl?"
"The original price is fifty wen, and the current price is only thirty-five, but you need to bring your own box to pack it." Qin Qin Xuechu grinned and said, Yu Guang saw many people hurrying home to get the box.
"That's great, it just so happens that there are a lot of empty boxes at home, and you can put them on when I bring them all, so I can give some to others!"
After speaking, the woman pulled the girl and hurried away, as if she was afraid that if she took a slow step, the rouge would be snatched up.
In less than a moment, someone ran back panting, holding several empty rouge boxes in his hands and said to Qin Qin Xuechu: "Quick, I want three boxes!"
Seeing how someone came to buy it again, Qin Qinxue's eyes lit up at the beginning, and she suddenly felt very happy, if it continued like this, her business would definitely be bad.
It may be that business is good, the little girls passing by will always come to take a look when they see a lot of people, most of them just want to take a look, who knows that they can't walk when they see it.
