Liuli remembers that when she DIY lipstick in her previous life, she needed three main raw materials, lipstick powder, grease and beeswax, all of which she bought in the past. Now the grease is easy to say, but how to get the other two is a problem.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to the rouge shop in the town to see if she could buy something similar, just like Sango.

With coral and grass, the three of them went directly to the shop where Coral bought flowers last time, and before they entered the door, Liuli saw the plaque hanging high above the shop, which read: Rouge Pavilion, three big characters.

And next to these three words, there is a very obvious and familiar sign, and the same as the logo on the Ding Ji restaurant and Ding Ji carriage, Liuli knows that this Rouge Pavilion is also the shop of the Ding family.

The three of them entered the inside, and behind the counter was a woman with heavy makeup, who looked like she was not young, but she still had a unique charm.

When the woman saw that a guest came to the door, she hurriedly greeted her warmly: "The three little ladies are good, but you have to choose rouge." As he spoke, he saw the coral and grass following behind Liuli, frowned, and suddenly said, "It turned out to be you, why did you come to me to buy red and blue flowers again?" This time, no matter how much I sued, I can't sell it to you. ”

It turned out that this woman actually recognized the coral and the grass, and it is no wonder that most of the guests who came to the door bought rouge gouache, and the two of them wanted to buy the red and blue flowers made of rouge, and they were not very old, so they were naturally impressed.

When Coral and Xiaocao heard her words, they looked embarrassed, thinking that they could buy flowers from here last time, and they also experienced a lot of twists and turns.

Liuli hurriedly spoke: "My two sisters are not sensible, don't be surprised by the boss, this time we are here to see Rouge." ”

"Look at what your little lady said, how can I be weird," the woman smiled skillfully, "If you want to talk about rouge, it is still the best of our rouge pavilion, and there is no second one in Manxingping Town that is of rouge quality like ours." ”

Liuli listened to her boasting and didn't interject.

"I see that the little lady is born with a white face and flawless skin, so it is better to take a look at this rouge," the woman said, taking out a small and delicate box from the cabinet and opening it, "This color is not red, it is light and appropriate, and it is the most suitable for the little lady's age." ”

The glass is in the hand, and the overall tone is indeed pink, and the texture is also paste, but the fragrance is slightly rich. Corals and grass also came up to take a look.

"Come, I'll give the little lady a try." The proprietress said as she opened a small piece with water and applied it to the back of her glassy hand, "Look at the color?" ”

Although it is a pink rouge, Liuli feels that the effect after applying it is not as good as the box of pearls at home.

"Is there powdered rouge?" Ruri asked, she was here to see if she could buy something to replace her lipstick.

"Yes, yes", the proprietress said busily, and led the three of them to another counter and took out a box of things: "This, the best powder rouge." ”

Liuli took it and saw that it was indeed a red box of powder, but she felt that the particles were a little thicker.

"Is there any finer powder?"

"The little lady really has a vision." The proprietress snorted, "Fandel, go get that box of Jiayan powder." ”

A woman's voice answered behind me, and after a while, I saw a girl dressed in a delicate manner, bringing a box of small things.

The proprietress took the thing and opened it to Liuli: "Little lady, take a look, are you satisfied?" ”

I saw that there was a red box of powder inside, which was much more delicate than the box in front of it, and the fragrance was faint, so I nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad." ”

"This is a new product from Beijing, put on the cheeks, naturally ruddy as if there is nothing, Manxingping Town can be bought by our family."

When Liuli heard her say this, she knew that this thing couldn't be cheaper: "Dare to ask how much this good face powder is worth?" ”

"I saw that the little lady was kind, so I didn't ask you for more, this box is one or two silver." The proprietress said.

"Why is it so expensive?" Before Ruri could speak, Coral screamed first.

The proprietress was not annoyed, she still smiled: "The thing is naturally expensive, the little lady believes me, this thing is worth the price." ”

Liuli tried to bargain a few words, but the proprietress who came and went with me never let go.

"In this way, the little lady can go to another house to take a look, if there is a better one than me, even if she sells it at the same price as mine, I will give you this box of beautiful face powder for nothing."

When Liuli heard her say this, she didn't bother anymore, and finally took out a silver or two to buy the powder.

The proprietress smiled and accepted the money, and told the woman named Fandel to wrap up the things.

"Lady, do you have beeswax here?" Ruri tried to ask again.

"Beeswax?" The woman wrinkled her eyebrows, "I've heard of honey, but as for this beeswax, what is it?" ”

It seems that there is no more, Liuli was slightly disappointed in his heart, the rouge seller has never heard of this thing, I'm afraid this thing was not available in ancient times.

After a pause, she added, "Does the proprietress know where to sell honey in the town?" ”

"That's a lot." The proprietress said the names of several shops, including the one that sells honey, including the Ding Kee restaurant.

Liuli found a few honey shops, but they didn't buy beeswax, and the bosses had never heard of it.

"Second sister, shouldn't we buy flowers when we make rouge? Why buy beeswax? Coral was very puzzled, and the one or two silver beauty powders were so expensive, and the second sister actually bought them.

"This beeswax is indispensable for making lipstick." Ruri doesn't want to explain more.

The three of them walked to Ding Kee Restaurant, and Liuli asked Shopkeeper Zhou, who also said that he had never heard of this thing at all.

Liuli thought for a while and said, "The honey sold in our Ding Kee restaurant is collected from the farmers?" ”

"Naturally, they are all collected from a fixed beekeeper, and the quality is guaranteed, can Erniang take some to drink?"

"No need," Liuli waved her hand, she didn't like to drink honey, "I wonder if Shopkeeper Zhou might buy a beehive?" ”

"Hive?"

"Yes." Since there is no beeswax, she wants to make some beeswax by herself, and the method is not difficult, that is, use the honey after removing the honey, put it in a pot of water to heat and melt, and then remove the upper layer of cocoons, bee corpses, foam and other impurities, after filtering and cooling, the surface will condense into lumpy beeswax. Float on the surface of the water and take it out.

"Isn't Erniang going to be a beekeeper?" Shopkeeper Zhou was puzzled.

"No, no, no", Liuli waved his hand hurriedly, "It's not beekeeping, it's used for other purposes." ”

"Could it be that Erniang has come up with a new food to eat?" Shopkeeper Zhou thought of another possibility, and couldn't help but light up his eyes.

"There's no new food," Liuli hurriedly waved her hand, but still explained: "It's my coral, I'm making a lot of noise, and I'm idle around and have nothing to do, so I'll follow her to do it." ”

"I see." Although Shopkeeper Zhou didn't understand what rouge had to do with the hive, he was not interested in it when he heard that it was this kind of little daughter's thing: "The beehive is something that everyone in the beekeeper has, and I pay attention to one or two for Erniang." ”
