Chen Yao felt that tonight's ramen was the best noodle he had ever eaten in his life, each one was so thin and strong, and the noodle soup was delicious, although it was not the broth made with big bones and chicken that Mama Liu boasted before, only oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and green vegetables were added, but the taste was very fragrant and refreshing.

After eating, Chen Yao continued to help Liu Ruyue guard the dog baby.

And after Liu Ruyue made three large roasted naan, she continued to make lipstick.

Because it takes some time to dry the lipstick, the waiting time is relatively long, and it is not until the next morning that all the three colors of the lipstick are ready.

The lid on the lipstick box will do.

For shells, cover the other half of the shell of the same size, smear some beeswax on the edge of the lid, and the lid can be closed.

The shell lipstick looks less elegant and generous than the lipstick porcelain box, but it is also particularly cute and cute.

Vermilion, pomegranate red, Xiangfei color, Liu Ruyue remembered that the best selling lipstick was these three colors, her materials were limited, and only these three colors could be blended.

"Chuniel, can you read?" Liu Ruyue knows that rich people's families pay more attention to education, and they will let their children go to private schools at the age of three or four, Chen Yao is five years old, if she is literate, she will be much easier.

Chen Yao no longer has any resistance to his new name, "I have finished reading the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names", and I am learning the "Analects". ”

Liu Ruyue nodded, "These three kinds of lipsticks can't be mixed together, otherwise when guests want to buy them, we have to break them one by one to make sure, which will destroy the beauty and quality of the lipstick." ”

"There are 45 scarlet shells in this cloth pocket." Liu Ruyue took out a thin wooden board and wrote on it with a carbon strip.

Vermilion shells are picked up in boxes

"Do you recognize?"

Chen Yao nodded in amazement, his eyes full of seriousness, "Vermilion lipstick, there are 45 shells, and 8 in the box." Can my mother read and write? Mama Liu, they are illiterate. ”

Shi Niang's dishes are better than Mama Liu's, she can make lipstick and write, who is her mother? Why is it so powerful?

Liu Ruyue rubbed Chen Yao's head and didn't answer.

"In this cloth pocket, there is a concubine-colored lipstick." She picked up the charcoal pen and wrote on the board, "Princess-colored lipstick shells pick up boxes." ”

"In the end, this cloth pocket contains begonia-colored lipstick, 50 shells, and 6 boxes." After saying that, I finished writing it too.

"Mother, I remember, but, mother, how much are you going to sell?"

Liu Ruyue replied, "I plan to pack it in a box of lipstick, one sells for 80 Wen, the amount of shells is small, plus the shells have no cost, and they sell for 20 Wen each." ”

Chen Yao folded his fingers and calculated, "That's not that the box can be sold for a total of 1,600 Wen, and the shells can be sold for a total of 2,540 Wen, adding up to 4,140 Wen. ”

Although three taels of silver was not much for Chen Yao in the past, but for Chen Yao now, he already felt very powerful, it turned out that it was not easy for ordinary people to make money, and he didn't know how his father brought a cart of silver back to his home.

"Shhhh Liu Ruyue put her finger in front of her lips.

It is worthy of being a child cultivated by a businessman, although Chen Yao was a little picky before, but this child is indeed smarter and more capable than ordinary children, he is only five years old, and he can calculate the price with his fingers.

"This fat hasn't been sold yet, don't be proud. And what you're talking about is just a more ideal state, we can't sell all the lipstick at once, and we sell all the way, I'm afraid it's just enough for the journey. ”

Chen Yao's eyes rolled, and he understood, but he was not as disappointed as before, "Mother, I will help you sell lipstick." ”

"Well, let's pack up and hurry as soon as possible."

"Okay, mother."

After packing her luggage and eating baked naan, Liu Ruyue took the children to find the owner to say goodbye and walked to the center of the town.

When she came to the crowded street, Liu Ruyue took out some lipstick and placed it on the banana leaves one by one.

Because Liu Ruyue's booth was much lower than the shelves on the side, many people passed by directly at first and didn't see it.

The boss who sold groceries next to him couldn't help but be curious, and said, "This lady, you sell shells, you should go to the vegetable market in Xishi to sell them, if you don't put the shells in the water and raise them, the shells will die quickly." ”

Chen Yao was upset that things couldn't be sold, and when he heard the boss's question, he felt that the other party was too uninformed, "My mother is not selling shells, she is selling lipstick." ”

The grocery stall owner looked at the shells on the ground again, "Lipstick? ”

Chen Yao picked up a shell and put it in his hand, but Liu Ruyue didn't stop him to see what he did.

Chen Yao uncovered the shell and handed it to the grocery stall owner, "Look, this is begonia red lipstick, made by my mother." ”

"Eh, this packaging is quite fresh, it's the first time I've seen the mouth grease sold in shells, so if you pack it like this, won't the mouth fat be flavored by the shells?"

"No, it's fragrant, you smell it."

The grocery store owner pinched his nose in disgust, "I don't want it, don't lie to the little girl, the smell of shells can be rushed, how can it be fragrant." ”

"I'm not lying, it's really fragrant." Chen Yao couldn't understand, how could this person say nonsense without trying, "My mother soaked this shell with herbs to remove the taste, and there are a lot of flowers and medicinal herbs added to the lipstick, how can it be smelly." ”

The grocery store owner still looked disdainful, pointing to the sidewalks coming and going, "How can the lipstick made of shells be sold, no one will buy it." ”

"That's it, I see that the color of this lipstick is quite gorgeous, I have a good heart, I paid 100 yuan to wrap these shells, you make lipstick, and you are reluctant to buy a porcelain box, it's really a waste of good things, I will help you sell it, and you have to spend money to buy a grease box to refill it, hey, who makes me feel good." As he spoke, the grocery store owner took out his money bag and prepared to count the copper plates.

"This lady, you pack up your things and hand them to me."

"You ......" Chen Yao had never seen such a strong buy and sell, and wanted to go back, but was pulled behind by Liu Ruyue.

Liu Ruyue pointed to the lipstick on the banana leaves one by one, and smiled as if she didn't hear his domineering words, "Thank you for the kindness of this boss, my shell lipstick, one sells for 20 wen, you pay 100 wen, I can only give you 5, begonia red, vermilion, concubine color, how many do you want?" ”

Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling man, but the grocery stall owner wants to take advantage of it to the end, and he can see at a glance that the color and moistness of the lipstick are much better than the goods he has advanced.
