Chapter 49: A Special Gift

After eating, Qi Ling began to get busy, and she planned to make the flower oil needed for the lipstick first.

Now that I finally got together the raw materials, if I don't make it, Qi Ling himself feels itchy, and if I make it as soon as possible, I can also go and see how the women of this dynasty accept the new type of lipstick they made.

If everyone thinks it's good, it's all money!

Nowadays, I build houses every day, buy all kinds of materials, and then pay workers, and buy vegetables or something, which is spending money every day.

It's not okay to sit and eat empty, but you still have to make money quickly.

Qi Ling took out the jar that Aunt Zhao gave him last time and boiled a large pot of water on the fire.

What Aunt Zhao gave can't actually be called beeswax, in fact, it's just a beehive left after the honey is exhausted, so there are a lot of impurities in it.

After the water in the pot boiled, Qi Ling poured all the contents of the jar into it, and the large mass began to melt as soon as it entered the hot water.

There were still a lot of impurities floating on the surface of the water, there were dead bees, the cocoons that the bees had taken off, and some white foam I don't know what it was, Qi Ling took a spoon and skimmed out all these impurities.

When the impurities were almost gone, the water surface became very clear, and Qi Ling took the pot off and waited for it to slowly cool.

I saw that the beeswax in the pot came to the surface little by little, because the temperature dropped and condensed into small pieces.

When Qi Ling tested the temperature of the water with his hands and found that it was basically lukewarm, he carefully removed the solids on the water surface, and what he got was crystal clear beeswax like yellow agate.

Qi Ling went to the open space outside and brought in the wild thorn roses that he had dried before, and took out a small jar of tea oil and a large bag of dried osmanthus flowers that Gu Jinfeng had bought.

The reason why tea oil is used is because the tea oil itself has a fragrance of tea leaves, which is very good. And it can be used for skin care itself, and it can be used to make mouth grease, which can keep the mouth moist and work very well.

Of course, the price of this tea oil is also very expensive, just such a small can cost Qi Ling a few taels of silver, Qi Ling felt that if he couldn't sell the lipstick he made in the end, he would lose money.

Qi Ling sprinkled the dried osmanthus and the dried wild thorn rose into the tea oil, and these dried flowers basically covered the tea oil, leaving only some space, and then Qi Ling sealed the jar tightly.

In this way, it takes three or four days to soak the floral fragrance into the tea oil thoroughly, and the flower oil can not only be used to make lipstick, but also can be used to care for the hair, so that the hair washed out is black and shiny, and has a fragrance.

After processing the tea oil, Qi Ling had to refine the flower juice by himself, so that he could add color to the lipstick.

In the morning she had placed a large vat of red and blue flower juice waiting for it to settle, and it had now been divided into two layers, with a yellowish liquid on top and a bright red and thick liquid on the bottom.

Because red and blue flowers actually contain two pigments, one is red and the other is yellow, of course, yellow is not needed, so you have to find a way to get rid of it.

So Qi Ling poured out the upper layer of yellow liquid, and Qi Ling divided the remaining liquid into two parts, one was waiting for the flower oil to be soaked so that it could be made into lipstick, and the other part she was going to use to make rouge for the owner of the rouge shop.

Qi Ling, who made lipstick, just covered it with a layer of fine gauze to prevent dirt from falling in, and then put it in the sun.

Prepare to let it dry all the water first, and then the rest is the red of red and blue flowers, which can be used to mix the color of the lipstick.

Qi Ling, who made the rouge, added some powder that he had prepared before, stirred for a while, took out a large plate, put it on the fire and began to steam.

Maybe it's because she has already done it once last time, this time Qi Ling feels very skilled, although the amount to be done this time is larger, but her grasp of the proportion and amount is better than last time, so it is estimated that the quality of the rouge made this time will be better than last time.

Pinching the time, Qi Ling got out of the pot, and this time he still got a plate of densely lubricated grease, which looked very red and beautiful.

Qi Ling took some and put it under his hand, and gently smeared it, sure enough, the color was darker than last time, the last time it was wiped was actually a light pink, and this time it was a very moderate pink.

Qi Ling also applied some on his face, and when he found a mirror, his complexion was as ruddy and natural as a peach blossom, like the flush on the face of a shy girl, which was pitiful.

Took the small bamboo tubes that Gu Jinfeng helped him make last time, and now Gu Jinfeng is still building a house in the backyard, and the peach blossoms are also busy in the workshop, Qi Ling had to sit at the table by himself and put rouge in the bamboo tubes.

When all the rouges were loaded, Qi Ling counted them, and there were more than one hundred and twenty boxes, and in addition to the supply to the owner of the rouge shop, there were dozens of boxes left.

Coupled with the gouache that he packed with Gu Jinfeng last night, all the goods for the rouge shop this month are ready and ready to be sent to her.

Finally finished this thing that had been pressed in his heart for several days, Qi Lingchang stretched his waist, twisted his neck, and prepared to go to the yard for activities.

She came to the backyard of Gu Jinfeng's house, after a few days of busyness, the foundation of the house has been laid, and everyone is in full swing to build a house at this time.

In this crowd, Qi Ling saw Gu Jinfeng at a glance.

He was moving bricks at the moment, moving more than a dozen pieces at a time, rolling up his sleeves so high, he could see that the muscles in his hands were bulging and sweating profusely.

Strange, obviously he and these dozen people wore roughly the same clothes, but Qi Ling just felt that the clothes were worn on him, and he didn't know why they looked extraordinarily good.

It is said that "people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles", but Qi Ling felt that Gu Jinfeng was the person who brought out this dress, because no matter what clothes he wore, the kind of Zhilan Yushu on his body, the cold breath like pine and cypress could not be concealed, it can be said that Gu Jinfeng is a hanger.

Qi Ling thought of his abdominal muscles that he had seen before, and couldn't help but sigh:

If Gu Jinfeng was born in modern times, his face and figure can really be a star or a model. As for the actor, it is impossible for an actor to be, after all, he has that expression all year round.

Anyway, he will be a very famous person, and he is just a very ordinary girl, where will he have anything to do with him?

But fortunately, it is here, I can sit at the same table with him to eat, I can work with him, and I can even feel the tenderness in his eyes when he looks at him.

This inexplicable crossing sent himself to him, which can be regarded as a special gift of fate.
