The matter of rouge was told to Shen Tong by Azhi.

When Master Qi was in the shop in Yulin, once the old owner of the shop took a box of rouge and put it in front of Master Qi, saying: "This box of rouge is from Suzhou white peony, which has just risen in Yulin, can you see if we can make it?" ”

Suzhou White Peony is a time-honored brand, and his rouge not only has a good color, but also does not take off makeup all day. Some businessmen sold it from Suzhou to Yulin, and the price was speculated to three taels of silver a box, but the supply was still in short supply. Yulin's fat powder shops are secretly following suit, and the old owner values Master Qi very much and wants Master Qi to see if he can make it, which is too much.

But no one expected that Master Qi looked at the box of rouge, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he subconsciously waved his hand and swept out the rouge placed in front of him.

The rouge box was made of blue and white porcelain, and when it fell to the ground, it shattered, and the red rouge spilled all over the ground, startling everyone in the room.

Although Master Qi apologized to his old club afterwards, Master Qi's reputation for not getting along well was also confirmed, and everyone in the shop respected him, but fortunately, it didn't take long for him to leave, and no one mentioned this matter.

Last year, the emperor got married, and there were more than a dozen kinds of rouge of white peony in the congratulatory gifts offered by Suzhou Mansion, and the queen mother and the queen mother liked it very much, and the rouge of white peony has since become a tribute, and now it is no longer available in Xi'an City.

Shen Tong and Fang Fei went shopping for a day, and finally found a rouge that is also a blue and white porcelain box, this rouge is an imitation of white peony, which looks somewhat similar at first glance.

Shen Tong was also very helpless, she just knew that Xi'an couldn't buy white peonies, so she came up with the idea of letting Master Lan make rouge, except for the old servant, only Fang Fei and Master Lan walked closer, since Master Lan refused to do it, then this idea was useless.

Back at Baihui Hall, Fang Fei took the box of rouge to show Master Lan as if she had found a treasure.

"Master Lan, I said please do it, but if you don't do it, I will spend a tael of silver to buy it." Although it is an imitation, it can be sold for a high price of one or two silver.

Master Lan's gaze swept over Fang Fei's hand, his brows moved slightly, and he said, "If you can sell it for one or two silver, the thing shouldn't be bad." ”

Fang Fei blinked, and Miss asked her to pay attention to Master Lan's reaction, so is Master Lan's reaction normal now?

She didn't give up, opened the lid of the rouge, and held the rouge in front of Master Lan: "You smell it, see if it's worth a tael of silver?" ”

Master Lan shrank back, but the box of rouge was still in front of him.

"Fortunately, a tael of silver is not expensive." Master Lan said gently.

At this moment, Zi Fangfei was completely stunned, she walked out of Baihui Hall and found Shen Tong who was buying loaches on the side of the road.

"Miss, I can't see it." Fang Fei whispered everything that had just happened.

Shen Tong smiled: "You have done a good job. ”

She handed the loach she had just bought to Fang Fei: "I bought it for the oranges." ”

Oranges not only like to eat small fish, but also like to eat loaches, after the beginning of spring, the street selling loaches and selling small fish gradually increased, as long as they encountered, Shen Tong will buy some to take back.

Fang Fei took the loach that was still jumping, her face was full of joy, and she threw what she had just done out of the clouds.

Shen Tong stood on the side of the road and looked at the gate of Baihui Hall.

As a master in this business, when you see the rouge of other families, you will not have this attitude.

Even if he was disdainful in his heart, he would look at it twice, but Master Lan didn't look at the box of rouge at all, even if Fang Fei put the rouge in front of him, he avoided it.

Master Lan really has resistance to rouge, which is the same as Master Qi back then.

Through the open shop door, Azhi saw Shen Tong and Fang Fei on the other side of the road, he made an excuse to come out, walked up to them, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Tong nodded at him and said, "It should be him, find someone to put by his side." ”

Several of them are owners, so they can't always follow Master Lan, Fang Fei is a maid, but she is Shen Tong's person, and placing it in Baihui Hall in a grand manner will also arouse suspicion.

A few days later, there was an apprentice in Baihuitang.

There were originally four apprentices in Baihui Hall, saying that they were apprentices, but in fact, Master Lan didn't teach them anything, they just followed the old servant, and the old servant asked them to do whatever they wanted, these four people were honest and diligent, but the new one was different, his name was Chai Yun, fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth.

The day after Ah Zhi posted the notice for recruiting apprentices, Chai Yun came to the door.

Chai Yun is an orphan who was originally adopted by a family, but after the family gave birth to several sons in a row, they disliked him as an adopted son and let him sleep in the livestock shed, and he was often denied food, and his father and brothers beat and scolded him if they were unhappy.

"One day, I overheard them saying that they would sell me to the Shanxi mine to dig coal and never come back, so I was scared and ran out of my house." Speaking of sadness, Chai Yun wiped away his tears.

He has a road guide, and with the road guide, he can register and settle in the yamen, which is a clean and innocent identity.

Seeing that he was handsome and smart, Aji let him stay in the shop as an apprentice.

Everyone calls him Xiao Chai.

Within a few days, Xiao Chai became acquainted with the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law who often came to the shop, and the other four senior apprentices were still grinding flour day and night, and Xiao Chai was already greeting guests in the shop.

Xiao Chai has a sweet mouth, except for Master Lan's master and servant, he and the people in the shop all get along well.

The spring was cold and warm, and the Huang family was infected with the wind cold, and Shen Tong did not come to the shop these days to take care of the Huang family at home.

said that it was to take care of it, but the work of catching and boiling medicine was done by Xinyu and Fangfei, and Shen Tong was talking to the Huang family.

Huang didn't have a serious illness, but he was sticky for half a month, and when all the peach blossoms on the street were in full bloom, Huang was completely cured.

"Spring is blooming, you little girl's family, don't hold it at home, go shopping on the street", speaking of this, Huang looked at his two daughters, "You are still young now, you can still go out to play, in a few years, you won't be able to show up like now." ”

Shen Tong and Xinyu all laughed, Xinyu glanced at Shen Tong quietly, although A-Niang said this, but she felt that even if she was in tune, Tongtong would go wherever she wanted, A-Niang would definitely not be like other wives, detaining Tongtong at home without leaving the door.

"Sister, can I follow you to Baihui Hall to have a look?" There is light in Xinyu's eyes, which makes it impossible to refuse.

"Is my sister trying to buy fat powder? Okay, A-Niang will go too. Shen Tong said.

"A-Niang has long passed the age of dressing up, you sisters should go together, A-Niang still wants to sew a few pairs of socks for you." Huang's widowhood and habit of not applying fat powder on weekdays.
