The steward of Zhuangzi was arranged by Xiao Lu, and he was also a man from Xiao Wangfu, named Zhang Shu, who was a very responsible person.

As soon as Lin Ruan arrived at Zhuangzi, Steward Zhang took Zhuangzi's account book.

Lin Ruan didn't have much interest in the account books, her purpose for this trip was very clear, one was to see the output of essential oils and hydrosols, as well as the effect of the makeup powder rouge she wanted, and then to go to the mountains for a walk.

Zhang Shu immediately asked people to bring over samples of essential oils, hydrosols, and various makeup powders and rouges produced during this time.

Lin Ruan watched while listening to Zhang Shu's careful report.

"There weren't enough flowers in the mountains, so I arranged for some of the farmer's children to go to other mountains to pick wildflowers. In spring, wildflowers bloom in abundance, and the flowers are harvested to make essential oils and hydrosols. Some flowers suitable for rouge were also handed over to the masters who made fat powder, and they said that the fat powder made was very effective. ”

Lin Ruan unscrewed a small box of rouge, dipped a little of it with her fingers and applied it on her hands, the color was indeed good, and the texture was also very good, comparable to some mid-range products she had used in her previous life.

But there is a disadvantage, that is, there is only one color of rouge, which is no choice for Lin Ruan.

There are three colors of lipstick, purple, vermilion, and flesh color, although I sigh that ancient women's pursuit of beauty is not inferior to that of modern women, but these three colors are far from enough for Lin Ruan.

and the color of the foundation is too fake white, Lin Ruan is not very satisfied.

She was very satisfied with the essential oils and hydrosols, both in terms of purity, fragrance, and type.

Lin Ruan called the masters who made the fat powder over, "I called everyone here to discuss the color of these rouge and lipstick." ”

The masters were a little puzzled, "Does the county lord think that the color is not strong enough?" ”

Lin Ruan shook his head with a smile: "No, the colors made by the masters are very beautiful, and the texture is also very good, but there is only one kind of positive red, which is monotonous, and there is no room for choice." ”

The masters are a little puzzled, isn't this rouge only bright red? Generally, when girls put on makeup, they adjust the thickness of the rouge on the face according to their own preferences to achieve the makeup effect they want. This has been the case since ancient times, but now the county lord says that there are few colors.

Could it be that rouge can be used in other colors besides bright red?

Will it look good on the face with other colors?

And the color of the lipstick, apart from those three, will other colors be accepted?

Lin Ruan understood the doubts of these masters, after all, the aesthetic limitations of the ancients were too great, and it was impossible for her to ask them to know everything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I also had a sudden idea, and I thought I could give it a try, so I will find some flowers of the color I want as soon as possible, and I will have to trouble the masters to help me make them when the time comes. If I don't succeed, I'm fooling around. ”

The masters naturally have no opinions, after all, Lin Ruan is their master, not to mention that Lin Ruan asked them to make other colors of fat powder, even if they use poison, they can't have a second word.

Lin Ruan mentioned the matter of foundation again, the fat powder used by women today is basically made of rice, although the powder is very delicate, but the makeup time is too short, and it is easy to take off the makeup.

Now some people have begun to use white lead powder, this thing has a good makeup effect, but it is extremely harmful to the human body, and after a long time, the face will turn blue, and even poisoning symptoms will appear.

Since Lin Ruan wants to make high-end luxury goods, then he must consider it comprehensively, and the makeup effect must be good, and it must not be toxic, so the raw materials must be good.

So Lin Ruan's foundation is made of pearls. Although the price is expensive, there is no need to worry about the lack of market.

It's just that the color number problem must be dealt with, otherwise it really won't look good on the face.

After Lin Ruan communicated with these masters, he set off for the mountains.

On this trip, she left all the guards and maidservants behind.

Shuttling alone in the flower fields in the mountains, Lin Ruan carefully looked at the flowers that had been planted in different categories, and recognized Zhang Shu's ability.

When people couldn't see her, she stopped, and after carefully checking her surroundings with her ability to make sure that no one was there, she began to use her ability to make those flowers and trees grow many buds in a short instant.

In a few days, these buds will be able to bloom in a variety of ways.

After finishing the affairs in the Zhuangzi, Lin Ruan rushed back to Kyoto, took a group of carefully selected young girls into the second floor of the store, and kept the door closed for several days.

And Xiao Lu followed Lin Ruan's instructions to send invitations to the mansions of major families and officials.

Although Lin Ruan's current status does not need to worry about the popularity of the new store, after all, doing business is about attracting customers from all over the world and making money in harmony.

People are willing to appreciate their faces, and she has to make enough face for others.

Therefore, Lin Ruan counted all the officials in Beijing, large and small, and sent invitations, and did not ignore them because of the low official status of some officials.

When all the invitations are delivered, it will be the opening day.

Lin Ruan took people to the store early in the morning to personally confirm whether all the preparations in the store were ready, and then specially adjusted some details.

The three concubines of the Shen family and the two daughters-in-law of the family also came to help early in the morning, and according to Lin Ruan's request, the five of them did not put on makeup today, and came over with a plain face.

Lin Ruan's fan sister Tong Miaoxin also came over as a free volunteer. This girl went to Zhuangzi in Jingxiao a few days ago to escape the summer, and it was not until yesterday that she received a notice from Mrs. Tong and hurried back.

This was the first time that a few people had returned to Lin Ruan's new shop, and as soon as they entered the door, they were dazzled by the decoration of the store.

I saw that at the entrance of the whole store, a large arch with pink and white roses was made more than one person high, this kind of flower type and color, which they had never seen before, was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it, and some small purple and white flowers hung down from the arch that they couldn't name.

When you enter the store, the inside is even more beautiful, and the furnishings inside look very strange.

Those sofas, coffee tables, and booths, they have all seen them in the sweet hut, although the appearance here is different, and the way of placement is also different, but they don't think it's too unusual.

What makes them feel strange is that the clothes in the store are not hung on the wall on a flat board like other ready-to-wear stores, but are put on some "pillars" like people, and the effect and characteristics of the upper body of the clothes are clear at a glance, which is simply amazing.

Each outfit is accompanied by jewelry, accessories, and even shoes.

Of course, not every piece of clothing is displayed with human-shaped pillars, because there are so many clothes, and all of them are displayed like that, and the store looks too weird. More clothes are hung on some delicate shelves, and any set of clothes is so beautiful that their eyes shine.
