Now that she has crossed into a little girl, she used to be a fool, and she still has a little entanglement and expectation in her heart. Fortunately, I didn't feel how ugly I was when I saw my current appearance before, I was not clear enough, and I was more than beautiful.

While worried, Su Jinyao moved her gaze to the mirror. The bronze mirror is well polished, smooth and bright, with almost no flaws.

And what was reflected in the mirror was the immature and delicate face of a teenage girl. Melon seed face, small nose, thin and moderately thick lips. The best thing to look at is the pair of bright eyes, like autumn water, looking forward to the brilliance, clear and making people feel like they have entered the spiritual lake at a glance.

Looking at her current self in the mirror, Su Jinyao lost her mind for a moment, and was a little complacent. Although the current appearance is too green, it will definitely be a beautiful embryo in time.

And now she is six points similar to herself in her previous life, but the biggest difference is the clarity of her eyes and the pink of her lips.

"Little girl, isn't my mirror very bright?" The old woman smiled and asked again.

Su Jinyao's face turned red at this time, and she felt that she was a little out of shape. Smiled: "It's good." How can this bronze mirror be sold? ”

After taking a bronze mirror, Su Jinyao really wanted to buy a bronze mirror and go home. Because the appearance reflected in the mirror is indeed much more real, and looking in the mirror more, although it seems a little narcissistic, it can definitely be happy.

After all, a living cardamom girl is more real and enthusiastic than a cold-blooded killer. Su Jinyao still really likes the way she looks now.

The old woman pointed to the bronze mirror in Su Jinyao's hand and said, "Is this this?" I asked for two pennies. The smaller one costs a penny and a half silver. It's okay to give copper plates. ”

One penny of silver is one hundred and twenty copper plates, and the copper mirror in Su Jinyao's hand is two hundred and forty copper plates. And the smaller one also costs a penny and a half silver, which is one hundred and eighty wen, which makes Su Jinyao can't help but be surprised.

Looking at the bronze mirror in her hand, Su Jinyao hesitated. I like it, I really like it, how can there be a little girl who doesn't love beauty.

However, he originally came to the city to make money, and before he found an opportunity to make money, he first spent one or two hundred yuan to buy a bronze mirror, which ...... Is it appropriate?

Seeing Su Jinyao's hesitation, the old woman said, "My bronze mirrors are carefully polished by the best craftsmen. It takes two days from the engraving of the mold to the molding of the copper mirror, and then it takes two or three days to carve and polish. In the end, it takes a lot of water grinding to polish the bronze mirror without any traces of friction to be so bright. Such a bronze mirror will take at least ten or eight days. Tell me about this effort, is it worth the price? ”

Su Jinyao didn't know how to make a bronze mirror, but she also understood that the productivity in ancient times was backward, and all kinds of tools were people-oriented, all carefully made and polished by skilled craftsmen. It's a lot of work.

Su Jinyao has the heart to buy it, but look at the big ones and look at the small ones......???

Su Jinyao looked at the two bronze mirrors in her hand, one large and one small, and immediately noticed the difference. Both copper mirrors are flat and smooth, and the polishing is really good, and no obvious flaws can be seen. But the difference is that one copper mirror shows your cheeks, which is slightly wider than the other.

Although it is only a small difference, Su Jinyao's observation is extremely strong, in other words, the eyes are poisonous. When she was a killer, she could even see traces of ballistics. Although it was only a flash, it allowed her to avoid the vital parts of the bullet as much as possible, which was enough to save her life. Therefore, the small difference between these two bronze mirrors fell in Su Jinyao's eyes, and it was clear at once.

Because of the discovery, Su Jinyao picked up a hexagonal mirror and compared it carefully, and sure enough, there was still a difference in her face.

This discovery is simple, that is, the mirror is not completely flat, there is a slight curvature, and the person who reflects it will not be too distorted. But the difference is that some copper mirrors are convex outwards after polishing, while others are concave inward.

To put it simply, these mirrors are similar to the principle of haha mirrors, some look fat when they look at people, and some look thin when they look at people. It's just that this difference is extremely small, if it weren't for the careful comparison of the two mirrors, or the observation of someone with such poisonous eyes as Su Jinyao, it would basically be negligible.

But it was such a small difference that made Su Jinyao's mind flash with inspiration, and she immediately found a business opportunity.

Su Jinyao smiled and asked the old woman, "Grandma, if I buy a few more bronze mirrors, can you give me a preferential price?" ”

"What's the discount?" The old woman was stunned for a moment, but she didn't understand.

Su Jinyao hurriedly said: "It's just whether it can be cheaper." Let's be honest, grandma, I look at your bronze mirror really well, and I want to buy a few to sell. If you give me a cheaper price, I can make a little money. ”

"Ah, you little girl, but you're an elf." The old woman smiled and looked at the bronze mirror on her stall and asked, "Then how many mirrors do you want?" If you buy two or three bronze mirrors, I won't be much cheaper, and each mirror will give you a maximum of twenty cents. After all, craftsmen also have to eat to support their families, and they all earn hard-earned money. ”

Su Jinyao thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, Grandma, do you think this will work, I'll buy four copper mirrors first, and you give me the cheapest price." If I sell it, I'll come back and get it from you. Otherwise, I don't have that much money in my hands to buy too much at once. But if I just take your bronze mirror and sell it, you may not be able to trust me, right? ”

The old woman thought for a while and said, "As long as it is on all sides...... That'll give you a total of 100 yuan cheaper. It really can't be cheaper, a bronze mirror is cheaper than twenty-five yuan, and I don't even have to make money. ”

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and didn't speak, in fact, this is not an easy price to accept. And whether her idea succeeds or not, and then she has to grit her teeth and try it, she must take risks.

But after just a little hesitation, Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll pick it myself." Isn't it that no matter how big or small, four bronze mirrors will give me a hundred yuan cheaper? ”

The old woman nodded and said, "Pick it, no matter how big or small, it's all the same cheap." ”

Su Jinyao picked it up seriously.

In fact, there are subtle differences in the polishing of each mirror, and it is estimated that these bronze mirrors are not made by one craftsman, but by two or three craftsmen. And everyone's habits are different, and even their eyesight is different, and the things they make are also different.

Su Jinyao took a look at each bronze mirror, and then took it to the old woman, let her take a look, and looked at the old woman's appearance from the mirror, and then looked at her real appearance, and then selected four mirrors.

After Su Jinyao picked it, the old woman asked while calculating the price: "You picked the big one on three sides and the small one on the other." Will you give copper plates, or silver plates? ”

Su Jinyao said: "I can only give the copper plate, I don't have any silver." ”

The old woman nodded, and said with a smile: "You little girl is really strange." You pick out the mirror, but let me look at something. My old skin and meat are all pleats, and I don't have anything to look at. ”

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled, but did not speak.

The old woman also counted this kung fu, and said: "The big one is two hundred and forty wen, and the three mirrors are seven hundred and twenty wen; The small one hundred and eighty texts is exactly nine hundred in total. If you say that you will be cheaper than 100 yuan, you can give me 800 yuan. ”

Su Jinyao took out the money bag from the bag and poured out the copper plate to count. And these 800 yuan is almost emptying her money bag.

After paying the money and taking the bronze mirror, Su Jinyao looked at her deflated money bag again and took a deep breath. Now that I have returned to the "pre-liberation period", if I think wrongly, then I will probably have to start all over again.

However, Su Jinyao never admits defeat and will not accept fate. More importantly, she absolutely believes in her abilities.

So holding these four bronze mirrors, Su Jinyao felt that this was a starting point and hope for her.

When Su Jinyao turned around to leave, the old woman couldn't help but ask again: "Little girl, where are you going to sell this bronze mirror?" I'll tell you, it's not been a day or two since I've been setting up a stall here. In this bazaar, the bronze mirrors I sell are the best, and they sell well. But it may not be able to sell all sides in one day. You spent 800 yuan at once, what if you can't sell it? ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, turned around and said, "Grandma, I want to tell you, don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll come back to buy a bronze mirror in a while." ”

The old woman couldn't help but be surprised: "What? So, these four bronze mirrors are not enough for you to sell? ”

"It stands to reason that this is true, but if I don't come back in an hour, you should close the stall. However, I can't even sell a bronze mirror, and I won't come back to you for a refund. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she wrapped the bronze mirror in her baggage and strode away.

Looking at the back of Su Jinyao leaving, the old woman smiled, but she didn't take her words seriously. But on second thought, it was just an hour, and she didn't close the stall so quickly, and she really hoped that this little girl would come back to buy her bronze mirror. After all, although the income is less, I can sell a few more copper mirrors a day, and I have a lot of active money in my hands. It's a lot more than this unusable bronze mirror.

Su Jinyao took the four bronze mirrors and began to stride forward. She was going to find a place, a place where she could sell all the bronze mirrors in her hand, and still have to sell them for a large price.

The market is not Su Jinyao's goal, she looked at the terrain, walked along the road, and looked for the places where there were many restaurants, restaurants, and teahouses.

Ancient town planning is different from modern times, and it is divided into regions according to the third, sixth, and ninth classes. Although it is more prosperous near the bazaar, it is not a place where wealthy families like to stay. And those places with large facades and relatively high levels of hospitality are all opened on another street.

Su Jinyao walked forward along the spacious stone road, and saw that the decoration of the shops on both sides of the road was more exquisite, and the courtyard of the residence was larger, so she knew that she was on the right track. It wasn't until she saw a whole street of two- and three-story buildings in front of her, and where lanterns were hung in rows upstairs and downstairs, Su Jinyao quickened her pace.

This street is also very busy, but there are no rows of stalls on the side of the street, and you can't hear the shouts of the hawkers, but you can see several sedan chairs walking down the street. The people who came down from the sedan chair were also well-dressed, and when they entered the shop, there were guys in the shop who specially greeted the door and greeted them warmly.

Su Jinyao walked along the street and finally found a few green buildings for her. However, there are several kinds of green buildings, some of which are of low level, and the reception is all coolies and coachmen on the lower floors. Medium-sized, there will be some small businessmen who come to Qinglou to have fun, and such Qinglou also operates restaurants and casinos by the way.

The highest-level Qinglou is not only a place for guests to stay, there are excellent wines, dishes, refreshments, and girls who perform and sing songs. Wealthy guests have a good time here, spending money, listening to music, drinking a few sips of wine, and teasing and teasing young and beautiful, talented and gentle girls. There are also businessmen who will entertain guests here, discuss business and drink flower wine by the way, which is the same function and form as the modern high-end club.

Su Jinyao remembered a sentence: Don't look for monks to sell combs. So isn't it just right for her to find a beautiful girl to sell mirrors now?

Su Jinyao walked through these green buildings in turn, and finally chose a green building called "Red Sleeve Fang". Different from other green buildings called "Wanhua Building" and "Liuxiang Pavilion", the façade decoration here is elegant and magnificent, and the person who greets guests at the door is not the girl who greets the guests with a flower handkerchief, but two neat and clean little guys.

It's not yet noon, and although the door of this "Red Sleeve Fang" is open, there are no warblers and swallows inside, singing and dancing. Although the two little servants at the door stood neatly, they didn't need to greet guests, they were just a façade.

When Su Jinyao came to the door, one of the servants looked at Su Jinyao and frowned. But fortunately, he didn't open his mouth to drive people away, but just stood at the door, which seemed to mean that Su Jinyao would not be allowed to enter the door.

Su Jinyao only glanced at it, then turned around and left. But it wasn't that she didn't go in, but went around the back door. She knew that her clothes didn't fit in here, and she was still a teenage girl, so this door was not something she could enter casually.

went around to the back, and sure enough, I found the back door of the red sleeve workshop. There was also a carriage delivering vegetables at the door, unloading the vegetables on the cart, and a woman who looked like a woman was counting.

When Su Jinyao came here, she didn't step forward immediately, but stood quietly and waited. It wasn't until the vegetable baskets in the carriage had been moved into the backyard that the woman had counted them, and then she walked over and said, "This eldest sister, I want to go in and ask, do the sisters here want to make up?" ”

"Dressing?" The woman glanced Su Jinyao up and down, and said with a smile: "Little girl, will you comb your hair or put on makeup?" However, our girls here have a high vision, and if you don't have a pair of skillful hands, don't enter this door. ”

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Eldest sister asked, I'm the best at drawing eyebrows." Makeup will also be applied to ensure that the sisters here are dressed up beautifully. ”

"Yo, the little girl is not very old, but she is quite good at talking. Come in with me. The woman didn't ask much, and let Su Jinyao follow her into the door.

In fact, there has always been a livelihood for people to comb, some clever girls comb their hair and comb beautifully, or they are particularly good at makeup, they will go to other people's families to marry girls to make up, and it is quite considerable to earn some rewards. Of course, not every girl has the money to pay someone to make up when she gets married, so on weekdays, it is more about dressing up these Qinglou girls who are going to show up.

Su Jinyao followed the woman into the door.

The woman said: "I don't count what I said about grooming, you go upstairs and talk to Qi Niang." Qi Niang is specialized in the girls' makeup. Then he said, "The innermost room on the right hand side of the second floor is." Don't wander around in other rooms, some of the girls are still resting. ”

Su Jinyao agreed, turned around and walked upstairs to find the stairs.

The second floor of this Red Sleeve Workshop is a private room, Su Jinyao knows in her heart what kind of place this is, of course she won't walk around.

However, at this time, most of the doors had already opened, and the young girls in the room, either sitting or standing, were curiously looking at Su Jinyao who was passing by the door.

Su Jinyao passed by a door, and a girl happened to come out, and when she saw Su Jinyao, she smiled and asked, "Ah, where did you come from, little sister, this is not a fun place, just go home if you have nothing to do." ”

Su Jinyao also smiled back and said, "I'm here to put makeup on my sisters." Go and talk to Qi Niang. ”

"Little girl, do you still wear makeup? Why didn't I see you with a makeup case? The girl looked Su Jinyao up and down, and finally saw that she was carrying a small burden, looking suspicious.

Su Jinyao knew that she was really not professional enough, and she didn't even have a makeup box, so it was a bit reluctant to say that she was putting makeup on others.

However, she didn't say that she wasn't prepared, but pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister, think about it, how can the things I prepare be as good as those in your house." What's more, the set of things I prepared, this one is used for that, hundreds of people, hundreds of mouths, all of them use my rouge lipstick, it's not clean, right? How nice it would be to use the rouge gouache from your house to apply your makeup, whether it's your own or your favorite color. ”

After listening to Su Jinyao, the girl smiled. While hiding his smile with a handkerchief, he said, "Hehe, what you little girl said is reasonable." The rouge and lip gloss in my house are all one or two silver and a small box, and the color is also the most positive, and people in small households can't afford it. Even if you prepare something, I may not be able to see it. ”

Su Jinyao hurriedly nodded yes. The girl smiled again, shook the handkerchief, and said, "Okay, I see that you are very clever, so put on my makeup first." When Qi Niang comes out in a while, she will definitely come to my house to talk first, and you can just talk to her by the way. ”

Su Jinyao knew as soon as she heard that this girl should be a red card. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a big shelf and such a big pomp. A box of rouge for one or two pieces of silver is indeed not for ordinary people's families.

Since this girl let herself put on makeup, Su Jinyao really couldn't ask for it. Su Jinyao hurriedly followed her into the house and came to her dresser.
