Chapter 39: Aloe Vera
The shopkeeper's gaze was really a little hot, Mu Qingqing subconsciously took a step back, kept a few distances from him, and said softly, "Shopkeeper, I can come here to work, but the recipe is my family's ancestral heirloom and cannot be passed on." ”
Hearing this, a touch of loss flashed in the shopkeeper's expression, but it was harmless, he pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a kind smile, "It's okay, as long as you are willing to come here to work, I will not treat you badly." The incense powder you made, I will give you 20% of the profit! ”
The shopkeeper said this, and stretched out two fingers, as if making a big concession.
Mu Qingqing frowned slightly, this world is really eating people and not spitting out bones, he has the ability to make incense, but he doesn't have a store to operate, and the incense he worked so hard to make only got 20% of the profit, it's really... It's hard to put into words.
Sensing that Mu Qingqing was a little reluctant, the shopkeeper coughed lightly, got a little closer, lowered his voice, and whispered in her ear, "This is already very good, if you go to another house, I'm afraid you won't even get a profit of one percent." In this way, in addition to the twenty percent of the profit, I will give you an additional ten taels of silver every month. ”
I have to say that in order to keep Mu Qingqing, the shopkeeper can be regarded as having made a bloody investment, you know, even if it is a maid of the government, a month's salary is only five to eight taels, and the shopkeeper's opening is ten taels, if it is someone else, he will already be moved.
Mu Qingqing frowned, raised her eyes and looked around, she didn't come this time to make money, Mu Qingqing thought about it, and said slowly, "I have one more request, can I use the utensils and spices here at will?" ”
The shopkeeper thought that she would make any excessive requests, but he didn't expect that it was just these, he waved his hand indifferently, and said very atmosphericly, "That's natural, you can use it, just tell me what you need, as long as you can make incense powder, everything is easy to say." ”
The two reached a consensus, and the shopkeeper was rarely so happy, and personally led Mu Qingqing to the backyard of the store.
They walked in a hurry, and did not notice a woman standing behind the curtain.
In the backyard, there are two shelves with various sun-dried flower petals, and two or three workers are mashing the petals with pestles, as if to make rouge.
The shopkeeper clapped his hands, and the people in the courtyard gathered.
Two women, one man. The woman in the yellow shirt is a few years old, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are clearly visible, and the girl in pink next to her is flushed, as if she is trying a new research and development of rouge.
The man was not tall, and he was slumped up, but he was cute.
"Bai Zhangshi, who is this girl, how did she give birth to such a beautiful child!" The woman in the yellow shirt raised her eyes to look at Mu Qingqing, and couldn't help but admire her appearance.
Bai Zhangshi patted his head and sighed, "Look at my brain, I was so happy that I forgot to ask your name." ”
Mu Qingqing smiled at him, not caring at all, "My name is Mu Qingqing, in the future, please take care of me." ”
The woman in the yellow shirt also showed a kind smile, "I'm older than you, you are the same as Caizhu, just call me Chunniang, what a beautiful girl." ”
The colored beads in Chunniang's mouth are the pink-clothed girl.
Caizhu had a lively personality, hugged Mu Qingqing's arm at once, and took a deep breath, "Qingqing, what kind of incense powder are you using, it's so fragrant!" ”
That fragrance, Chun Niang also smelled it, Chun Niang raised her head slightly, caught a glimpse of the smile on Bai Zhangshi's face, and suddenly understood something, there are two more different fragrances in the store these days, and the business is booming, which must be related to the girl in front of her.
"Okay, Qingqing will work here in the future, Chun Niang, you have to take good care of her, don't let her be wronged." Bai Zhangshi glanced at Chun Niang and explained.
Without waiting for Chunniang to reply, a sharp female voice came from behind Mu Qingqing, "Yo, Bai Zhangshi, what are you talking about, as if you are afraid that someone of us will bully her." ”
Hearing this voice, Mu Qingqing frowned unhappily, she turned her head to look over, and the one who spoke was a girl in red clothes, the girl was the same age as Caizhu, a goose egg face, thin and weak, and she looked okay, but... Some people don't seem to like it.
"Color screen, what did you just do? You didn't pound the gardenia pollen that Chunniang asked you to pound, you see, my hands are tanned in order to help you pound gardenia pollen. ”
As soon as she saw the color screen, Caizhu pursed her mouth and stretched out her right hand, which was sunburned.
Caiping tilted her head and deliberately didn't look at Caizhu's injury, "I'm naturally busy, otherwise do you think I'm trying to avoid pounding pollen?" ”
Caizhu couldn't say anything about her, so she had to close her mouth, she was just about to withdraw her sunburned hand, but her hand was grabbed by Mu Qingqing.
"Qingqing, what's wrong with you?" Suddenly grabbed her hand, Caizhu tilted her head and asked suspiciously.
Mu Qingqing looked around the courtyard for a week, and finally found a pot of aloe vera in the shade of the eaves, and when he saw the pot of aloe vera, Mu Qingqing's eyes were slightly bright, and he showed a smile.
She took Caizhu's hand, walked under the eaves, broke a piece of aloe vera, and only heard a "click", and a corner of aloe vera was held in Mu Qingqing's hand.
"Mu Qingqing, what are you doing here, those are flowers picked back from the mountains by Pusheng, how can you say that they will be destroyed!" Watching Mu Qingqing break the aloe vera, the color screen issued a sharp reproach again.
Chun Niang glanced at Pu Sheng, then at Cai Ping, and said lightly, "Cai Ping, you are making a fuss again, isn't that the weeds that Pu Sheng picked back at will, besides, Pu Sheng didn't say anything, why are you in a hurry." ”
Pu Sheng leaned over and smiled at Mu Qingqing, "It's okay, it's not a precious flower, it's just a weed that I picked back casually." ”
"Yes, it's a weed, color screen, didn't you still dislike it for being ugly at the time, you never thought it could grow so big in a flower pot." Caizhu stood in front of Mu Qingqing and spoke for her.
Mu Qingqing didn't pay attention to the color screen at all, picked up the aloe vera by himself, and wiped it back and forth on the hand of the color beads a few times.
The transparent juice was evenly smeared on the sunburned back of Caizhu's hand, and after a while, the back of the hand, which was still red, gradually turned white.
Seeing this magical scene, Caizhu blinked in disbelief, and she shook her arm, "Huh? What's going on, my hands don't hurt at all! ”
It wasn't just Caizhu who was puzzled, Bai Zhangshi also stood in place, looking at Mu Qingqing, looking at his appearance, he wanted Mu Qingqing to give himself an explanation.
Mu Qingqing pointed to the aloe vera in his hand and said to everyone, "What Brother Pusheng picked back is not a flower or a weed, but aloe vera." ”
"Aloe vera? What is that? "The first person to ask the question is the color screen.
