Chapter 19: Fortune

For example, the sales of Yuge on the first day of opening were good, although it was discounted by seven, except for the cost of stores and labor, it was not a loss.

Pei Baoer happily returned to Osmanthus Lane, and praised Liu Yun's painting skills: "The beauty picture works well, it is equivalent to an advertising poster, ha~ Ayun, you draw a few more, I will make a list of the theme for you later, I want to change a batch of pictures every once in a while......"

Although Pei Baoer did not pay for the decoration of the shop this time, it also took a lot of energy. That batch of beauty pictures is her idea, and she doesn't need to buy them in the painting shop, what about a ready-made free labor at home, or a painting idiot, when don't you use it at this time?

Liu Yun's eyes crooked with a smile, "It's all Sister A's whimsy, I'm just painting according to what you said, it doesn't take any effort." ”

"Mrs. Wang also came over today, and she helped a lot, saying that it was just about to be the New Year, and she had some for her nieces and nieces." Thinking of the reason for her acquaintance with Mrs. Wang at the beginning, Pei Baoer touched Xiao Yan'er's head with emotion. "Speaking of which, Mrs. Wang is really my great benefactor. I took a lot of care before, and I was very considerate when I quit my job. This year's New Year's gift to her family must be prepared......"

Liu Yun nodded yes, and Xiao Yan'er shouted a few words of "Grandma Wang" in response, but she still had an impression of Mrs. Wang, which made Pei Baoer surprised again.

She had always been a little suspicious that her cheap son was smart like a cross-passer, but when she saw that he began to eat his fingers and lick them one by one, she let go of this matter again. After all, what adult would do such a mentally retarded thing dressed as a little baby?

The business of the shop was booming, Liu Yun and Dani were naturally very happy, and even just after dinner, Dani cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went into the hut to continue grinding all kinds of powders.

Pei Baoer couldn't help but feel a little sad, this girl really regarded herself as a free child laborer.

"Dani, don't be busy, I'll get it tomorrow during the day. We have stockpiled a lot of goods in the past half month, and the population in the city is not as good as those capitals, so there is no need to be so anxious. ”

Dani gave her a big smile back: "Lady, go and rest first, I have nothing to do anyway." ”

She is a clever girl, although Pei Niangzi and Liu Langjun are a little secretive, but after getting along during this time, she can also see what the real relationship between the two is, and secretly guess in her heart that since Pei Niangzi is alone with a child, she must have no husband. If you really want to talk about it, she actually admires Pei Baoer very much, although she has become a widow, she has a good handicraft, and she can set up a door without relying on others. What touched her even more was that Pei Baoer held such an "ancestral secret recipe" worth thousands of gold, and she didn't hide it at all, so she believed in herself, an orphan who had not known her for a long time.

This trust weighs heavily on Dani's heart, and she doesn't want to do more than anything all the time in order to repay this kindness.

In the end, it was Pei Baoer who made a tiger face and "accused" Dani of wasting lamp oil, and the latter stopped wiltingly.

Before going to bed, Pei Baoer's eyes drifted to the pile of books at the head of the bed, and her mind couldn't help but drift to the fact that the bookstore guys came to give the opening ceremony today.

Although it is just a strange jade carving, it looks a little like a cat, and a little like a dog, not like a famous treasure, but like a novice work of beginner jade carving, it is estimated that it is not worth much, so she was embarrassed to refuse the good intentions of others, so she accepted it and put it on the small Bogu shelf in the store.

It's just because of the matter of the Pagoda River Demon Monarch that Pei Bao'er couldn't help but think a little more, and actually thought about the jade carving on the common beckoning cat in modern times.

Is it possible that the owner is the River Demon King himself, who happens to be an independent traveler who uses things like writing scripts to relieve his loneliness, and hopes to find his soulmate through the form of bookstore sales?

She couldn't help but open the book "The Record of the Domineering General Congliang" again, and read it with relish for a while, but saw an extremely familiar classic plot, and the original two points of suspicion in her heart immediately increased to five points.

Pei Baoer decided that she must go to the bookstore again tomorrow.

She watched it again for half the night before falling asleep, but was woken up by Liu Yun in a daze the next morning.

She barely opened her eyes and looked at it, it was still early, and immediately got back into the warm bed, and complained, "What are you doing?" The inkstone hasn't gotten up yet, so let me sleep a little longer, and I don't have to go to the shop so early, right? ”

Liu Yun looked at the people waiting in the courtyard, and then at Pei Bao'er, who was wrapped in a cocoon on the kang, and sighed helplessly.

He muttered, "I should have stopped her from reading the script last night", and then leaned into her ear and whispered, "Sister, get up!" Have you forgotten what day it is? You promised the Chen family's ......"

Pei Bao'er's mushy brain turned very hard, and finally remembered what she had forgotten by being busy and dizzy, isn't Miss Chen's happy event today!

She was so excited that the carp immediately straightened up.

The customs of this dynasty, although it is said that the marriage is a "faint ceremony", but most of the marriage is still in the morning, and the bride has to get up before dawn to wash and comb her hair. Therefore, she, the makeup girl, must also be there early.

Hurriedly washed her face with cold water, Pei Baoer really came to her senses, and put on a base makeup very quickly, and she didn't even have time to do the subtraction retouching that she would do on weekdays, so she carried her small makeup box and went with the Chen family's mother-in-law, and on the way, she said sorry for herself, so that the Chen family's mother-in-law waited for a long time.

This mother-in-law is the one who sent Pei Baoer back last time and "heroically saved the beauty" together, and Pei Baoer has a little friendship that others don't have, and the hour is not too late, she naturally smiled and said that it didn't matter, and congratulated her on opening a new shop, and she was very considerate of her recent busy affairs.

When she arrived at Chen's house, Miss Chen was slightly surprised when she saw her. This Pei Niangzi, when she came back to her own house to put on makeup, she looked the same, and when she met on the street, she looked different, but now it is not the same as in the past. She couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of Pei Baoer's makeup skills.

Calculate carefully, today is the third time to dress up the married daughter, and Pei Baoer is already familiar with all the processes. Although he was a little sleepy, he still completed his work perfectly in the attention of the Chen family's daughters.

The slender fox eyes of Miss Chen San in the bronze mirror were depicted by her as soft apricot eyes, which restrained a lot of charm, and did not use a strong red in the color of rouge and lip fat, but chose a faint peach pink, and applied the lipstick twice, and the smudge was extremely natural. This makes Miss Chen's skin even more white and red, with both the shyness of a girl and the style of a woman who is about to become a woman.

Mrs. Chen saw it in her eyes, both proud and sad.

The two mothers and daughters were about to wipe away their tears when they held hands with each other, but Pei Baoer hurriedly smiled and joked. Just kidding, the eye makeup on Miss Chen's face is the most important, she has only temporarily solved the problem of waterproof foundation, waterproof eyeshadow has not yet come out, if you cry, the eye makeup is pasted is equivalent to a whole face again.

Seeing that there was still some time before the time of marriage, other female relatives also talked and laughed interestingly, such as auspicious words such as maybe Mrs. Chen will be able to hug her grandson next year, and there are also flattering words such as praising Pei Bao'er's good craftsmanship and saying that she will also invite her in a hurry. Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, Pei Baoer simply mentioned the news that she had a part in the new opening of Ruyu Pavilion and had a seven-fold discount in the past two days.

She took another time to stuff a small box for Miss Chen San, and said with a smile: "This should be my wedding to the girl, I hope the girl will not dislike it." ”

Miss Chen San was a little surprised, took it and opened it, looked at it, sniffed it again, and said curiously: "This is?" ”

"It's used to remove makeup, and the makeup I put on you today is the waterproof foundation I developed a few days ago, and I don't have to sell it in the Jade Pavilion, so I'll use it for you first." This will last longer when applied to the face, if it can be washed with ordinary water, it is not clean, and the facial soap is also a little difficult, so use this matching makeup remover for you. ”

As soon as Pei Baoer explained this, the big girls and little daughters-in-law next to her became even more curious. What kind of makeup powder is it, you can't wash it off when you apply it to your face, and you have to use something special to wash it!

Some people scoffed at it, thinking it was too troublesome, and some people even thought that this was Pei Baoer's "trick" to sell makeup powder, but because today was a good day for Miss Chen San, she was embarrassed to say something annoying to make people look white.

When the groom came to pick up the relatives and saw the excitement, Pei Baoer retired with the happy seal given by the Chen family.

However, she didn't go home, although she was a little dizzy, she still went directly to Ruyu Pavilion. Although she only accounts for 20% of the shares, she is different from Mrs. Lin, the Lin family has a lot of property and many shops, so it is naturally impossible to attach too much importance to this small shop, but for Pei Baoer, this is her first pot of gold, and it is her hope to leave here and start a new life!

The number of customers in the shop today is not as large as yesterday, but it is not too small. According to the shopkeeper, three boxes of makeup powder, four boxes of rouge, two boxes of lip cream, and a set of two-tone eyeshadows have been sold this morning. Many of them were bought by the same female customer, and the total number of customers is only three today. As for those brushes, except for the two or three sets she sold out yesterday when she directly demonstrated the operation of the real person in the store, no one cares about them for the time being. The overall situation is not much different from Pei Baoer's expectations.

She carefully looked at the account book, looked at the specific color numbers of the products sold, and unsurprisingly found that most of the sales were still relatively conservative colors, that is, colors that were red, or close to red. It's the opposite of yesterday.

It seems that there are no real models to show here, and relying on this guy who doesn't seem to know much about makeup to sell, the vast majority of customers still don't dare to break through and try those strange shades, even if there is a beautiful picture on the wall to guide them.

Pei Baoer touched her chin and began to think of countermeasures, but she didn't pay attention to the figure in front of her.

The guy began to greet her, and she realized that it was a guest, so she squeezed out a signature service industry smile, intending to introduce the product to this discerning lady or lady. As a result, when she raised her eyes, Pei Baoer almost didn't bite her tongue.

Why is it him again?

Pei Baoer subconsciously glanced behind the man to make sure that no other female dependents were following, so she looked at him with a complicated expression.

Because Qi Heng's robe was not a bargain at first glance, the young man began to diligently recommend the most expensive products to him.

Qi Heng didn't pay attention to him, glanced at Pei Bao'er behind the counter, his gaze wandered away, and finally landed on the jade carving on the Bogu shelf behind her.

He chuckled, "I thought this jade carving would be placed at the door, or here." His chin was slightly raised, referring to the high counter that lay between the two of them.

Pei Bao'er was shocked in her heart, and she forgot about the taboo of male and female defense, and looked straight into his eyes.

How would he know? The two places he mentioned are indeed the locations that are often placed in modern shops with beckoning cats.

Could it be that she was right, he was the traverser?

The question in Pan Huan's heart was on the tip of her tongue, and she almost rushed out of her mouth.
