Early the next morning, Gu Jinfeng drove the carriage to pull back the materials needed to build the house today.

When he got up, Qi Ling was still dreaming of making a fortune in his sleep, and he didn't know anything about how many times he drove the carriage back and forth, and slept very soundly.

Build a house with bricks, the bricks used at this time are not the same as the bricks of modern society, modern bricks are generally red or turquoise, the size of the square, can be fired a lot.

In ancient times, due to the limitations of firing technology, the size of the fired bricks was very large, so they were also heavier. The colors are mostly cyan and gray, and the rich and noble families will also burn the patterns of birds and beasts on it, but the number of finished products fired at one time is very small, so the price is not too low.

There are more than a dozen families in Gujia Village who think the price of brick houses is too expensive, and they still live in earthen houses. It's just that the earthen house is easy to leak when it rains, and it is not strong, so most families will still choose to build a brick house, after all, the house is the foundation of a family's life.

The kiln for burning bricks is in the neighboring village of Gujia Village, and whoever wants to build a house on weekdays generally has to go to say hello half a month in advance, so that all the bricks can be burned in advance.

But Gu Jinfeng and Qi Ling only decided to build a house temporarily, and did not say it in advance, so now they can only pull part of it every day, fortunately, there is still a carriage at home, and it is not too difficult to pull it every day.

Put all the bricks in the backyard, Gu Jinfeng wiped his sweat, and was about to go to the firewood room to drink saliva, when he saw Qi Ling getting up lazily.

Qi Ling slept comfortably this night, feeling that all the fatigue from yesterday was gone, she saw that Gu Jinfeng was sweating early in the morning, and knew that he must have started working early in the morning, and she felt a little guilty in her heart.

Originally, it was my own idea to build a house, but in the end, it was Gu Jinfeng who had been contributing, but he was a little idle, so after thinking about it, he decided to be better for Gu Jinfeng.

Qi Ling saw that Gu Jinfeng wanted to scoop water in the water tank to drink, so he took a step ahead of him, scooped out the water, handed it to him, and pulled the sleeves of his clothes next to him to fan him, looking intimate.

Gu Jinfeng was a little uncomfortable when he saw her so attentive, "What are you doing here?" ”

Qi Ling pulled a smile, because he had just woken up, his face was flushed, "I see that you are too hard and a little guilty, so I will be better to you." ”

When Gu Jinfeng heard her say this, he felt a little funny in his heart.

At this time, the people who came to build the house arrived one after another, Gu Jinfeng handed the water scoop in his hand to Qi Ling, and took them to the backyard to start preparing to lay the foundation.

Seeing that they were starting to work, Qi Ling randomly took out half a steamed bun from the firewood room, padd it, and began to wash vegetables and rice.

Although Uncle Zhao wants to come to fry the big pot of dishes, his legs and feet are inconvenient after all, so Qi Ling wants to help him do some trivial work first, and then he won't have to work so hard.

After seeing that everything was ready, Qi Ling nodded with satisfaction, and then left to Aunt Zhao's house to see the situation in the workshop.

At Aunt Zhao's house, Peach Blossom had already taken a few people up the mountain to pick flowers, and only Aunt Zhao and three women were left at home grinding red and blue flowers.

In the open space of the courtyard next to it, several large mats were placed on them, on which wild jasmine was drying.

The spring sunshine has been getting brighter and brighter these days, so it is easier to dry than the batch that Qi Ling dried himself before.

Qi Ling pinched open a wild jasmine seed with his hand, feeling that there was not much moisture in it, and it was estimated that it would come in handy if it was dried in the afternoon.

As for the red and blue flowers, Aunt Zhao and several women had much more strength than Qi Ling, and each of them took a medicine to pound, and after a while, they smashed all the petals into mud, and then they all poured them into a clean wooden barrel.

Qi Ling took a closer look, and a quarter of it was already full.

It seems that everyone is very motivated!

I can't be idle here!

Qi Ling saw that there was still some time before noon, so he took out a small bag of wild thorn roses that he had asked Peach Blossom to pick for himself yesterday, and covered it in the bag all night, and the flowers were a little wilted at this time.

She pinched the petals with her hands in a daze.

Before, Qi Ling and the lady who bought gouache rouge and the shopkeeper all mentioned that they would develop new products in the future, but she didn't deceive people, so she planned to use this wild thorn rose to make an ancient lipstick, that is, lipstick.

Qi Ling is from modern society, modern women can do without makeup, but if you find a few in the crowd, you may have several lipsticks.

Maybe women are naturally more sensitive to color, a simple red letter, there may be many color branches, red, orange red, orange red, peach, pink, and what queen red, bean paste red, maple leaf red, tomato red, strawberry red, men at a glance can not distinguish any difference between these colors, but can be clearly distinguished by a woman's "fiery eyes".

In addition to the color, there is also the texture, and the taste, so it can be said that lipstick is simply a woman's favorite cosmetic product.

Qi Ling's grand ambition in her heart is that she wants to set off a trend of lipstick here, so that those famous and noble girls, or small jasper, will become loyal customers of the lipstick she makes.

Of course, the so-called grand wish will naturally not come true in a few days, and it will definitely take a long time, but Qi Ling feels that what she is doing now is what she likes to do, so no matter how long it takes, she will always work hard.

The lipstick used by women today is basically rouge, and it can be said that rouge is the "dual-purpose of lips and cheeks" in this era.

There are generally three kinds of lipstick sold in rouge stores, the first is the most traditional cinnabar, but no matter how delicate the cinnabar is, it will be mixed with powder, which is not very comfortable on the mouth, and it fades easily, so the price is also the lowest.

The second is to refine the red orchid juice, soak the paper with the flower juice, and then dry it until it dries, so repeat it several times, you can wash the red one, called rouge paper, take it and put it in a small box, and you only need to sip it when you use it.

Speaking of this kind of rouge paper, Qi Ling also made a joke when she was a child, she watched TV series when she was a child, and the beauties in it were all holding red paper and putting it to her mouth, and she would turn red when she pursed her lips.

So she thought that as long as it was red paper, she tore off the red couplets at home and painted them on her mouth when she played with her friends, and was later ridiculed by the adults in the family.

There is a third kind of lipstick that is more high-end, generally condensed red and blue flower juice into fat, and some are directly applied to the mouth, which is moisturizing and coloring well, and it is the most expensive one in the rouge store now.

The rouge that Qi Ling made last time was probably the more "advanced" version of the third type.

But this time, she plans to make a different type of lipstick than the other types of lipstick she sells now.
