The Liu family doesn't make trouble, because she has two sons, who are the ones who benefit from enlightenment; the Lin family has two sisters who are raised by the Zhu family, so even if she has an opinion, she doesn't dare to say it in front of Ye Yuran; just the Liu family, she has nothing, and it's normal for her heart to be unstable.

Ye Yuran dared not to see it, it was just Liu's temperament, although she kept making small movements, she didn't dare to make trouble in front of Ye Yuran, no matter how much she "instigated" Lin. As long as the two sisters of the Lin family are still in the Zhu family, she has to keep her mouth shut.

Li's well, as the biggest beneficiary of interests, is when he is proud, he ignores other things.

What Ye Yuran likes most about the Li family is that she always only focuses on the key points, although sometimes, the key points that the Li family grasps are always only the key points that the Li family thinks they are, but as long as Ye Yuran gives the Li family a key point, it will be fine.

So Ye Yuran gave Li a key point - to do business and make money.

Obviously, Li is also very good at this, her gossip nature is exerted to the extreme when doing business, she is very enthusiastic when she sees everyone, she is close to others, chattering, and selling things by the way.

"You have nothing to do staring at your sisters-in-law, you are a sister-in-law, what are they doing is their business, they have a few of your brothers staring, it's really not good, and I, the mother, are the mother. You are a girl's family, just worry about your own affairs, and worry less about the affairs of other rooms. Ye Yuran continued to lecture Zhu Bamei, "Look at which girl has nothing to do to meddle in the affairs of my brother and sister-in-law's room? If this word spreads, how will you behave in the future?"

"Mother, I know it's wrong. Zhu Bamei weakly admitted her mistake.

"Don't just talk about it, keep it in your heart. You can just say it in front of me, but in front of your sisters-in-law, you must not say these words, you know? Others won't say that your sisters-in-law are bad, but they will only say that you, a sister-in-law, have a broken mouth and are an eight-witch...... Do you like people to scold you for being a bastard?"

Zhu Bamei shook her head: "I don't like it." ”

"That's not it, you see, you just made the bracelet well, there are more people around you, if you wait for you to do better bracelets in the future, rouge will also do better, then there will be more people around you. Instead of spending this time there gossiping with people and breaking their mouths about these messy things, it is better to be patient and do something. With this, it is enough for others to support you for a lifetime. ”

Zhu Bamei naturally tasted the sweetness inside, and nodded frequently, feeling that her mother was right.

It's a little problem of gossiping, and it is estimated that it will not be changed for a while, after all, staying in the countryside, which mother-in-law and aunt don't gossip?

As long as Zhu Bamei goes out, there must be more people pulling her to "gossip".

For this reality, Ye Yuran is also a little helpless, she can't lock Zhu Bamei at home all day and not let Zhu Bamei go out, right?

"Okay, let's not talk about that, haven't you always wanted to learn to make rouge? ”

Zhu Bamei was pleasantly surprised: "Really, mother?"

What Ye Yuran taught her before was the starch method, borrowing the rice noodles at home, first making "starch", and then making the finished flower cake into safflower and dipping it into starch, which became it.

The biggest difficulty is that the starch must be ground fine enough, otherwise it will not be easy to stick to the skin.

With the current conditions, it is naturally impossible for them to do too well, and they only use some of the most crude methods.

The reason why rice is chosen is because the starch made from rice is finer and can adhere better to the skin. Instead of grinding the rice directly, it is necessary to soak the net rice in an impregnation tank, and after a day and a night, wash it with clean water.

In modern times, it is possible to add something to it, but at this time, there are not so many chemicals at all, and that is the only way.

Wait for the rice to be soaked until your fingers are pinched and broken, and it is almost soaked, and then mashed into a pulp with a pounded garlic mortar (because at that time, the Zhu family had not yet made the stone grinding).

When the pulp is ready, put it in the cotton cloth, and squeeze it slowly to make sure it is really worn out.

Fortunately, it's rouge, and the amount is not much, otherwise I don't know when I'm going to get it like this.

The cotton cloth was filtered again and again, and the one in the cotton cloth was not wanted, so in order not to waste it, Zhu Bamei naturally took it back and added it to other foods for several sisters-in-law to eat. And these filtrates that are filtered out are the "starches" that need to be left.

At this point, "precipitation" is required.

After standing for a period of time, something will settle down in the water, and that thin, fine layer is the real starch.

Carefully and gently pour out the water, and continue to settle the rest until the water inside is all "dry", which is the "starch" used to prepare rouge.

Because this is too labor-intensive, Zhu Bamei doesn't do much every time, except for a little for her own use, basically all of them are sold.

Although she was instructed by Ye Yuran to give a copy to several sisters-in-law every time she made it, in fact, Zhu Bamei knew that none of the sisters-in-law was willing to use it, so she gave it to the fourth sister-in-law to "sell".

Zhu Bamei was so angry that she didn't want to give it the second time, but her mother said: "Give, why don't you give it?" Since you gave it to your sisters-in-law, what they do with it is their business, you just need to give." ”

She was not convinced at the time and said, "I gave it to them, and they all sold it, so why should I give it to you?"

"You are stupid, you gave it, and they sold it, which proves that they have gained 'profit', and they have obtained your 'profit', and they dare to say that you are not good in the future? ”

Zhu Bamei: "......"

Suddenly felt that her mother was more ruthless than her.

"The rouge we made this time is not the same as the previous one, the previous kind, to make starch, troublesome, this time I teach you, is to use ready-made osmanthus oil to do. Ye Yuran asked Zhu Bamei if the osmanthus oil she bought last time was still there.

Osmanthus oil is a relatively expensive thing, and Zhu Bamei is naturally reluctant to use it, and there are quite a few of them.

"Okay, you go get some of the safflower cakes you've made. ”

"Mother, you wait. Zhu Bamei immediately took a safflower cake and came over.

Although safflower has the effect of abortion, it can't carry the dyeing effect of safflower, as long as the person who uses it is not a pregnant woman.

"Mother, how do you get it later?" asked Zhu Bamei.

This time, Ye Yuran didn't make a move, and said directly: "There are two methods, one is to put the safflower bag into the straw ash to clarify it several times according to the method of starch rouge, and mix it with the remaining red pigment and osmanthus oil; These two are made of rouge. ”

When Zhu Bamei heard this, she immediately said: "That's the second one, mother, the first feeling is too expensive osmanthus oil." Osmanthus oil is not cheap, and we certainly can't waste it. ”
