As soon as Song Yaoyao arrived at the door, a pair of men and women came in, the man was only in his early twenties, dressed in brocade clothes, tall and mighty, and heroic.

In his arms was a beautiful woman with beaded hair and a red gauze skirt.

The woman was delicate and charming, leaning delicately in the man's arms, and as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was full of bones: "Young Master Xu, you said that you would take slaves to the Golden Jade Pavilion to buy rouge, why did you bring people here?" ”

That Young Master Xu scratched the beauty's cheeks and coaxed: "Although Jinyutang is famous, but the main business is jewelry, if you want to talk about this rouge, there is no place in the whole city that can compare to this Fanglin Pavilion." ”

When the woman heard this, she smiled and responded, and the two began to pick out things.

It's just that I picked it for a long time, but I didn't like it, either because the powder was not white enough, or because the rouge was not red enough, the female shopkeeper listened to it and was not embarrassed.

The woman pouted, half coquettish and half complained: "The day before yesterday, Sister Fangrui's benefactor brought her a box of lead powder from the capital, which is white and delicate, smooth and tender on her face, and the girl in the building is very envious, how can I take these powders." ”

That Young Master Xu's face was not good-looking, he praised Haikou but was slapped in the face like this, so he was a little angry, but he couldn't bear to spill his anger on the beauty, so he sprinkled his anger on the female shopkeeper.

"Do you have only these goods in Fanglin Pavilion, and you are embarrassed to take them out and embarrass people."

The female shopkeeper dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, the person who came was a guest, and there was no reason to quarrel with the guests in business, especially this Xu Gongzi was the nephew of the county magistrate, who was quite favored by the county magistrate, and was a famous gentleman in the city, she couldn't afford to offend, so she could only swallow her anger back into her stomach and endure it with a smile.

Xu Gongzi was angry, so he took the beauty to the Golden Jade Pavilion to buy jewelry.

The female shopkeeper saw that the person was gone, shook the handkerchief in her hand angrily, and scolded in a low voice: "What's it, a kiln sister, but with Xu Gongzi holding it, just pick and choose here with me, and it is also worthy!" ”

The female shopkeeper didn't dare to scold Xu Gongzi, so she poured all her anger on the beauty.

Song Yaoyao saw that the proprietress was angry, and she didn't want to disturb her, and wanted to wait for her to calm down before going over.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper turned around and saw that she was still here, and asked in a very unkind tone: "Girl, if you buy something, buy it quickly, if you don't buy it, go out, don't hinder my business here." ”

Song Yaoyao knew that the shopkeeper was angry with her, and she was not annoyed, she still smiled, and replied: "The shopkeeper, although this lead powder is delicate and white enough, it is not good for the skin for long-term use, and it is easy to dull and blemishe, so it is better to use it sparingly." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Song Yaoyao in surprise when he heard this, but he didn't expect that she was dressed shabby, but she was a knowledgeable person.

After taking a closer look, I found that although Song Yaoyao was dressed in shabby clothes, she had a good appearance, neither humble nor arrogant, and her temperament was not comparable to that of ordinary daughters of poor families.

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, coughed dryly and asked, "But I underestimated the girl, what is the matter with the girl here?" ”

Song Yaoyao saw the change in the shopkeeper's attitude and continued: "This best powder should not only be fragrant and delicate, but also moisturize the skin, and the powder will not float, the most important thing is not blindly white, but it will blend with the skin color to achieve the effect of having makeup and no makeup." ”

When the shopkeeper heard such a statement for the first time, he was quite curious and asked: "This woman is powdered, but I am afraid that it is not white enough, how can I get to the girl here and not the most important?" ”

Song Yaoyao continued: "The most important thing in base makeup is to modify the skin tone, if you just blindly white and do not blend with your skin tone, it looks like a mask with flour, and there is no beauty at all. ”

As soon as he said this, the shopkeeper was a little annoyed: "Girl, is this saying that my things are not good?" ”

Song Yaoyao was embarrassed, touched his nose, and explained: "It's not that the shopkeeper's things are bad, firstly, the current craftsmanship is limited and cannot make good things, and secondly, it is also related to the aesthetic concept of the times, not the shopkeeper's problem, don't misunderstand." ”

The shopkeeper's face looked a little better, and he asked, "What should I do according to what the girl said?" ”

Song Yaoyao saw that the heat was almost over, so he simply didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "I have a recipe here, although the powder made can reach the point where it looks like no makeup, but it is much better than lead powder, I don't know if the boss is interested." ”

The boss has been in business for many years, and she can see at a glance whether she knows the goods or not, Song Yaoyao does know how to do it, but looking at her poor and sour appearance, can she really have such a good recipe?

Song Yaoyao knew that the boss would definitely not believe it just by relying on his own mouth, and said: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to be suspicious, I'm just saying hello today, and when I go back and make something, give the shopkeeper a look, and it's not too late for the shopkeeper to make a decision." ”

So very good, the shopkeeper's steady profit is not lost, and there is no reason to do so.

Since it was already booked, Song Yaoyao didn't continue shopping, went to talk to Daddy Song, and went back by himself.

Song Yaoyao went to the grain store first and bought three catties of fine corn, three catties of purple jasmine seeds, one catty of dried rose flowers, one catty of comfrey, two catties of tea tree seed oil, and two catties of beeswax.

After a while, there was not much left of the 200 wen given by Sister Guilan, and two strings of sugar gourds were given to the two boys at the street stall.

In fact, the best makeup powder is not difficult to make, and the popular makeup powder on the market is either rice flour dried with rice juice, or lead powder milled with white lead, or lead powder mixed with the two.

What Song Yaoyao wants to do is corn flour and jasmine pollen, which are more delicate than rice flour, and the principle is similar, but the process is more complicated.

Song Yaoyao sighed that if she had a laboratory, she would be able to make those modern cosmetics, which are many times better than these.

When he got home, Song Yaoyao began to work, first took some corn and scooped it until the water was clear, and then found a jar to soak the cleaned corn into it and seal the jar.

Then it is time to deal with other materials, the purple jasmine seed is shelled and the yellow endosperm on the outer layer of the seed is removed, leaving only the white germ inside.

Song Yaoyao was dizzy after doing it for a while, her eyes were full of stars, she saw that Mao Mao and An Sheng were fine, so she hired two child laborers to help her peel flower seeds at the price of five copper plates per person.

The two boys were very happy, the two of them surrounded Song Yaoyao for most of the day, and they had long been curious to scratch their hearts and livers, which would be very positive in their work.

Both of them wanted to perform in front of Song Yaoyao again, and they worked harder to peel off flowers.

Song Yaoyao was worried that they would hurt their eyes, and reminded them to rest for a while from time to time.

Song Yaoyao began to make rouge oil by himself, soaking dried rose flowers and comfrey in tea tree seed oil, as long as he waited for a few days, and when the oil was colored, it became rouge oil for making rouge.

Originally, olive oil was the best way to make rouge oil, with its own antiseptic effect, but there was no place to buy it here, so Song Yaoyao had to use tea tree seed oil instead.

The rest has to wait for these materials to be done before it can continue, Song Yaoyao can only wait patiently, it is already dark, in order to save some lamp oil, Song Yaoyao washed up and went to bed.
