Lu Yanyi didn't take it to heart: "What can she do?" You're worried about this commotion just now, right? ”

Qingwan looked up at him and smiled slightly: "It's good to have you, why did you come here in such time?" ”

"I was discussing things with a few old friends in the ministry, and I heard a report from my subordinates, saying that the young grandmother of the Su family came here to make trouble, and I was worried about you, so I hurried over." Lu Yanyi looked at her with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

Qingwan shook her head: "Don't worry about me, it's just that as soon as you came, your identity was exposed."

"What's this?" Lu Yanyi said indifferently: "I am the owner of this store, what can I do?" Moreover, I just let everyone know that you are my wife, and this shop is my wife's shop, and no one can come to the door to find trouble! ”

"You" Qingwan looked at him in surprise.

Lu Yanyi's eyes burned: "You agreed to my marriage proposal, then, the day of marriage is naturally up to me." ”

"I'm not ready yet," Qingwan covered his mouth and hurriedly said, "This is a matter for the two of us, and you can't just say it!" I have to agree to it to count! ”

Lu Yanyi showed a deep evil smile: "Everything will be in my plan!" ”

"What the hell do you mean?" Seeing his expression, Qingwan felt uneasy.

However, no matter how he asked, Lu Yanyi stopped confiding at all, Qingwan was in a hurry, and when the two were stuck, he suddenly saw Lu Yanyi's little servant come in and said, "Master Zhu has something important to ask the young master to go." ”

"Okay, I'll do it now." Lu Yanyi responded, showing an unpredictable smile to Qingwan: "Don't worry about it, what I want to tell you, I will naturally tell you, if you don't want to say it, it's useless for you to ask!"

With that, I went out easily.

Qingwan was left standing there alone, only looking at his back and stomping his feet angrily.

In the following period of time, the business of the shop gradually became regular, and Qingwan became much easier, and he was able to free up his hands for other things. She has already contacted two manufacturers, because making cosmetics is a meticulous job, so Qingwan has gone through repeated investigations, and finally finalized the two, both of which are decades old stores and extremely reliable, so Qingwan can rest assured that the production of cosmetics will be handed over to them.

Now she only needs to finish the most critical step: preparing the excipient solution, and she doesn't have to do anything more, just wait for the receipt.

After all kinds of fresh flowers and plants come in, they need to be cleaned, selected, grinded, and then added to the auxiliary material solution, and finally after various refining and forming, they are loaded into containers before they are all completed.

And the ratio of this excipient solution is related to whether the whole cosmetics can be made, and it is also the secret of each cosmetics.

Every once in a while, Qingwan makes a batch of auxiliary solutions for each makeup, and then packs them and sends them to the manufacturer, and according to the production method she wrote, the semi-finished cosmetics that have been ground are then processed for follow-up processing.

In this way, the workload of Qingwan has been reduced a lot. It's enough to keep an eye on the shop every day.

Lu Yanyi brought her news of her younger brother every two or three days. Hanguan also writes about trusts brought by Lu Yanyi every time. The letter is nothing more than saying that everything is fine here, and I am not tired of studying, so that my sister can rest assured.

Although Qingwan knew that her younger brother had always reported good news and not bad news, Lu Yanyi often went in and out of the palace and could see Hanguan in person, so she was quite relieved.

It's just that the one named Wan Jian, although she has only met once, has always made her feel a faint uneasiness in her heart, and she has asked a few times, but Lu Yanyi said: "Don't worry, no matter who Wan Jian is, he is just a student, what can he do?" What's more, now that the Su and Zhu factions are waiting, neither side dares to do it easily, Wan Jian is the next minion of the Su family, what is there to worry about? ”

When he said this, Qingwan temporarily let go of this matter.

Since the last time Mrs. Zhu said about diagnosing the queen, there has been no follow-up news for a long time. Qingwan also understands that the palace is strictly forbidden, and it is not easy to bring Lang Zhong outside into the palace, even if it is the uncle's house. If she can diagnose the queen, it is not a good thing, and if she can't, she doesn't care.

In the blink of an eye, it is winter, the climate is getting colder day by day, and the capital is much warmer than the hometown.

Qingwan was anxious, although the house at home was not bad, but the climate in the capital was suitable for the elderly to live, and in the past few months, she had calculated that the store had made a lot of profits, enough to buy a small house in the capital, and she had been paying attention to this matter recently, and had secretly looked at a few places, just waiting for her parents to come in, she could buy it and move in.

So she plans to go back to her hometown as soon as possible, talk to her parents, and bring them all to the capital.

The first snow fell in the capital that day, and snowflakes fell from the sky, dyeing the entire capital white, covering all the roads and causing fewer pedestrians on the streets.

The cosmetics shop, which is usually very lively, has been snubbed for the first time. The heavy snow hindered people's travel, and no one stepped in except for a few female customers who lived nearby in the morning who had come to buy something.

"Sister Fang, what are you doing deliciously? It smells so good. Lu Xiufang followed the aroma emanating from the backyard and found it, with a greedy cat look on her little face: "I've never smelled anything like this!" ”

Qingwan couldn't help but be amused when she heard this: "You haven't eaten anything from this daughter?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Lu Xiufang said seriously: "From childhood to adulthood, there are examples of daily diet, and you have to eat whatever the cook does. It's those dishes every day, every year, and if you want to change the tricks, you have to come up with your own money and talk to the kitchen. If you call your father and aunt to know, you will have to be reprimanded, saying that you don't know how to be thrifty, that is, when you come to the second brother, you can eat a few more good meals! ”

Qingwan was speechless for a while, the Lu family has strict rules, as the only eldest lady, Lu Xiufang's life is still so unsatisfactory, and Lu Yanyi, who grew up in the bloody wind and rain among his brothers, many of the hardships behind him can be imagined.

Lu Xiufang continued to say: "Sister Fang, these past few months have been my happiest time!" Why are you so good at your craft? I haven't seen any of the dishes I cooked, and it's better than what my second brother took me to eat in a restaurant! Where did you learn? ”

During this period of time, because the production of cosmetics no longer has to worry about it, so when I returned home from the shop at night, Qingwan had nothing to do, so I went to cook and cook some food myself, and Lu Xiufang was full of praise every time, and it was swept away.

Qingwan smiled: "Where are you going to study?" Our family is poor, not as good as you, the eldest lady, no one to serve, we all have to cook by ourselves, and after a long time, we will understand it. You see the white fungus grapefruit paste I made today, but Aunt Zhu taught me. ”

"Oh?" Lu Xiufang was slightly surprised: "Aunt Zhu will still do this?" ”

Mrs. Zhu has been living here for several months, and she has no intention of leaving, and Qingwan doesn't want her to leave. Mrs. Zhu is very hardworking, after Qingjuan's careful care, her body is already well, and she helps Qinghuan work inside and out every day, judging from many details, Qingwan feels that this old lady, the story behind her is by no means simple.

For example, today's white fungus grapefruit paste, Qingwan originally thought that the climate would be dry in winter, and planned to make some grapefruit honey tea to drink, but when Mrs. Zhu heard it, she said this recipe. Not only add grapefruit, but also add white fungus, wolfberry, and the most unique thing is that it is necessary to put in the ginseng soup made of high-quality ginseng, instead of boiling water to make grapefruit paste.

When Qingwan heard it at first glance, she also felt very surprised: grapefruit tea is originally a cold thing, just to clear away heat, nourish yin and defeat fire, if you add ginseng that is a hot tonic for sexual strength, wouldn't it be the opposite?

Old Madam Zhu seemed to see her doubts, and said with a smile: "This is the subtlety of this recipe. This is still learned from the palace, although the grapefruit tea clears the heat and reduces the fire, but the winter climate is cold, it is easy to get cold, and then eat cold food, you may feel comfortable at the beginning, but in the long run, the human body is not enough yang, and there will be more harm. Although ginseng is a hot product on the surface, many people in the world do not know its true use. If the human body has sufficient qi and blood, the yang qi is vigorous, and all the veins are naturally connected, and the body is healthy. In this way, adding ginseng soup to the pomelo not only does not lose the heat-clearing effect of the pomelo, but also can take the tonic effect. ”

"Auntie, you always impress me." After hearing this, although Qingwan was even more surprised and hesitant in her heart, she still smiled and said, "You are here, I have learned a lot more." Even I, Langzhong, I'm afraid I can't compare to you! ”

Mrs. Zhu was a little remorseful: "Hey, I'm an old woman, what do you know?" This is also what I knew by hearsay when I used to work. ”

"Auntie, you said that this recipe was learned from the palace?"

Old Madam Zhu hesitated for a moment when she heard this, but still said: "Indeed, there are many recipes in the palace, which are different from the common ones outside, which is also the essence of the palace secret recipe." However, Miss Qing don't think too much, I also get it occasionally. ”

Qingwan still smiled calmly: "See where you thought of going?" What do I have to think about? ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled and went back to work. Qingwan made it according to the method she said, and sure enough, the finished product was very good.

"Come, Sister Xiuwan, you can taste it." Qingwan poured out the boiled grapefruit white fungus paste, scooped some out in a small bowl, and handed it to Lu Xiufang.

Lu Xiufang was overjoyed, sniffed the aroma deeply, scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth: "It's so delicious!" It's all mine! ”

"Well, it tastes pretty good." Qingwan also tasted it carefully: "Not only does it look good, but the taste is not so sweet." ”
