Chapter 223: Casting lots
"Oh my God, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that someone could really paint people so beautiful!" A young lady in the crowd muttered to herself.
"Miss Tang, I don't know how much this set of rouge gouache used today is worth?" After seeing the maid who had no sense of disobedience after putting on makeup, someone in the crowd was already impatient to ask.
Tang Chu smiled gently, and then said, "Each kind of rouge here has different effects, the usage is not the same, and the colors are also divided into several shades, if this young lady thinks that the demonstration of our Tang Ji makeup artist is not bad, you can come to make an appointment, and she will recommend the rouge suitable for you for you." ”
"As for the price, the bottom of each wooden box containing the porcelain vase and jar is engraved with the corresponding price, and these things used by makeup artists today are about fifty taels of silver." Tang Chu said it lightly, and the people around him were not calm after hearing it.
Fifty taels of silver, they heard it right!
Although these nobles are not familiar with general affairs, as they grow older, the management of the inner house gradually takes over, and they know very well what fifty taels of silver means, which is almost the cost of some people's five years!
"Golden Autumn, what is the price of rouge gouache in the capital?" Miss Yun asked.
"Miss, in the best Moon Shadow Building in the capital, the most expensive rouge is ten taels of silver a box." Jin Qiu thought back to the price she had said when she accompanied the young lady to the Asaka Pavilion before.
"If that's the case, then isn't the price of this Tang Ji Rouge shop a bit high?" Miss Yun's voice came.
The maid is not good at speaking with a conscience now.
This set of rouge gouache has a total of six or seven looks, and on average, a box is nearly ten taels of silver, and this price is comparable to the capital!
Moreover, Tang Chu is still introducing the rouge in Tang Kee's rouge shop, and shows that the ones used by makeup artists are not the top!
Does this mean that the most expensive rouge in the Tang Ji Rouge Shop can reach a higher price than the capital, and at the same time, its quality is also higher than that of the Moon Shadow Building in the capital, the former has nothing, and the latter is intriguing.
Hearing the maid Jin Qiu's answer, Miss Yun's figure seemed to move, but the hat covered her face, and she couldn't see her expression.
"It seems that the little Suizhou is actually Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" The mockery revealed in the tone was obvious.
The man in the fancy costume seized the opportunity to flatter as if he didn't understand, "It's just my daughter's rouge gouache, I can't toss a few waves, if Miss Yun likes it, I'll let Tang Chu hand over the recipe, and you can enjoy it alone when the time comes!" ”
A silver bell-like laugh came, and Miss Yun didn't speak, but the man in the fancy dress knew that she had already expressed her position, and this laughter meant acquiescence.
The man in Chinese clothes is used to being domineering on weekdays, and he is not a person from Suizhou, so he doesn't know Tang Chu's reputation, and at this time, he swore to let Tang Chu hand over the secret recipe, which provoked Zhao Zhenzhu on the side to laugh.
"Hehe......"
The man in the fancy dress turned his head, but saw a beautiful young lady bowing her head and covering her mouth with a handkerchief, but the smile in her eyes almost overflowed.
The eyes of the man in Chinese clothes suddenly straightened, he knew this woman, who was the daughter of Zhao County's order!
"Miss Zhao is so polite!" The man in the fancy costume pretended to be a liar.
Zhao Zhenzhu returned the salute and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”
"Zhang Zhiyu in Xiajingzhou, when I visited Zhao County Commander in the county government before, I had a relationship with Miss." The man in the Chinese costume stared at Zhao Zhenzhu and wanted to eat the other party.
"You're polite!" Zhao Zhenzhu bent slightly and saluted.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few years, Miss Zhao really has changed her eighteen years, and the more she changes, the better she looks!" The man in the Chinese costume said happily.
Zhao Zhenzhu frowned slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't answer.
Miss Yun next to her noticed that there was such a beautiful young lady around, and couldn't help but look sideways.
"Let me introduce, this is Miss Yun, a distant relative of my family who came to Suizhou to play, this is Miss Zhao, the daughter of the county order." The man in the fancy costume introduced it in a good way.
Miss Yun didn't take off her hat, but said softly, "I didn't expect that there are such lovely people in this poor and remote place, it's really unexpected!" ”
That sounds a bit mean!
Zhao Zhenzhu smiled, "Miss Yun should have seen it this time, there are many great rivers and mountains in this world, and what you haven't seen doesn't mean it doesn't exist, doesn't it?" ”
Miss Yun's fists clenched, thinking to herself if the other party was laughing at her for her shallow knowledge?
The man in the fancy costume also seemed to see that something was wrong, and he changed the topic with a gag. And Zhao Zhenzhu didn't stop here, and left after saying a few words.
Miss Yun stared at the other party's back.
Jin Qiu, the maid on the side, whispered, "Miss, if this person goes to the draft girl, he will be a fierce rival!" ”
"I know......" Miss Yun muttered.
This episode did not affect the excitement of the other ladies and nobles, their eyes seemed to be shining, and they couldn't wait to send the maids to find the maids in the rouge shop.
These maids have been trained, how to speak, how to salute, how to sell these rouges are already proficient, but seeing that the two young lady's maids are pulling themselves to explain to them, the maids are confused.
They're just a subordinate! When did it become so sought-after?
The room is different from the quiet listening to Xiuhe's explanation just now, and now many people are pulling the maid of the rouge shop to look at the rouge.
There are too many varieties of Tang Ji rouge, and some names they have never heard of, in order not to let themselves be lonely and unheard, and in order to buy a suitable rouge, these long-trained maids suddenly became sought-after goods.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Tang Chu said loudly.
Although she was confident that these rouges could be loved by the nobles, she didn't expect these women to be so crazy that they didn't even want grace at this time.
Many noble ladies and maids have tidied up their clothes, and some of them have messy buns.
"Everyone, please listen to me, there are a lot of people in the house, but there are still a lot of people waiting outside the door of the rouge shop, since everyone has come in, and it is the first batch, all the things you want have the opportunity to buy, these maids have a total of twenty people, if each of them is pulled by you, it is not enough, I have a proposal, it is better like this, after a while, everyone will draw lots, everyone will explain to the maids in order, everything depends on the will of God, how about it?" Tang Chu said with a smile.
The nobles are not unreasonable people, if Tang Chu arranges the order by name, then they will inevitably have to theorize, but at the moment, the method of drawing lots is acceptable.
Seeing that most of the women nodded, and no one raised any objections, Tang Chu exhaled lightly.
