Chapter 66: Glass
When I opened the round lid, there was a red paste inside.
"What is this, how come I've never seen it?" A girl in a pink shirt took the lipstick in her hand and asked suspiciously towards the white palm in front of the counter.
Bai Zhangshi smiled, "This young lady, what you have in your hand is the latest developed lipstick from my shopkeeper, which is not only easy to carry, easy to color, and good-looking, but also has a variety of colors to choose from, there is always one that will win your heart." ”
Bai Zhangshi said this, and took out a few more samples.
Most of those pastes are red, but this red also has many distinctions, the one on the far left is the cinnabar red of rouge, the middle one is dark red, and the rightmost one is light red. In addition to these, there is also a bit of orange red, which attracted many people to come over for a while.
Bai Zhangshi carefully explained to them, "Our shopkeeper said that the choice of lipstick should not only depend on the individual's skin color, but also according to the change of seasons and the strength of the sun. ”
Hearing this, a girl hurriedly asked, "It's the height of summer, what should I choose?" ”
Bai Zhangshi unhurriedly pointed to the lipstick mixed with some orange, and said, "Midsummer is naturally more lively, red and orange are the most suitable, and this vermilion color is even more versatile, suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter, which one does Miss like?" ”
Whether it was its peculiar and delicate appearance or the beautiful color of the paste, all of them were liked by the nobles, and it didn't take long for the lipstick to sell out.
Seeing that the counter was empty, Bai Zhangshi wiped the sweat on his forehead, and thought that Fangfei's first day of business was so successful.
When he came to the backyard, Mu Qingqing was working on a big project.
Under the high sun, Mu Qingqing put the petals of the osmanthus in a clean stone basin, got some water into it, and smashed the petals little by little with a pestle.
Bai Zhangshi stood beside her and asked with some puzzlement, "Qingqing, what are you doing?" ”
Mu Qingqing smiled at him, "I'm making perfume." ”
"Perfume, what is perfume?" Bai Zhangshi frowned and asked again.
"Perfume, as the name suggests, is fragrant water, these days I learned that in order to maintain the body fragrance, the nobles have to burn incense and bathe every day, soak for an hour, but after a long time, the smell on the body is still very light, I invented this perfume, can solve this problem for them."
Mu Qingqing said this, the movements in her hand did not stop, she pointed towards the osmanthus in the stone basin, "The aroma of osmanthus is very strong, after my treatment, it can last for a long time on the body, and there is no problem at all for three hours." ”
It was the first time Bai Zhangshi had heard such a strange thing, but he was not surprised, Mu Qingqing was simply a prodigy in making incense.
"It's just that I'm missing something." Mu Qingqing suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, a little worried.
"What?" Bai Zhangshi asked worriedly.
"Perfume is very well made, but I haven't thought of what is good for the perfume to be used in it." Mu Qingqing said this with a sad face, if you use bamboo, it is not very convenient to carry, and it is easy to evaporate.
"Is the glass good?" A voice suddenly came from behind her, solving the problem at hand.
The person who came was Weng Feiran.
Seeing him coming, Mu Qingqing's eyes were shocked, and he hurriedly put down the pestle in his hand, walked in front of Weng Feiran, and looked up and down, "Your injuries are not healed yet, what are you doing running around." ”
Weng Feiran smiled lightly, stretched out the folding fan in his hand, and said indifferently, "I have my own body, and it's not a big deal, but your business here is very good." ”
Mu Qingqing clasped her hands around her chest and held her head high, "That's natural, Miss Ben personally went out, and the blessings of Fanghua are still to come." ”
"Okay, let's get down to business, if you really want to resell perfume, glass is a very good vessel, I have a lot of raw materials in my house, if you need it, I will order my subordinates to make a batch."
Weng Feiran said this, and lowered his eyes to look at the perfume in the stone basin.
The osmanthus has not yet been completely mashed, but the aroma has already overflowed.
Hearing this proposal, Mu Qingqing's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't she think of the glass, the glass is very beautiful, and it is the most suitable for holding perfume.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingqing nodded hurriedly, handed over the task of mashing the petals to Chunniang, and went into the house to draw drawings by himself.
It wasn't until late afternoon that she came out with a piece of paper in her hand.
There are two kinds of drawings on the paper, one is a slender tube with a ball at the head, and the other is oval, which seems to have a hose inside, and when pressed it will spray liquid.
Mu Qingqing handed over the drawings to Weng Feiran, with a serious face, "This matter will trouble you, you must complete it before the envoy leaves, this time, I want to make a lot of money." ”
Hearing this, Weng Feiran's phoenix eyes lit up, and she looked at the girl in front of her with some surprise, this girl is sometimes stupid, sometimes she is as shrewd as a monkey.
"Don't worry, the envoy will stay in Beijing for more than half a month, and I will be able to bring you this batch of goods in three days, Mu Qingqing, you have to do what you say."
Weng Feiran had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Mu Qingqing with a little more joy.
Mu Qingqing nodded heavily and assured him, "Don't worry, if you can spread your business all over the place, you will definitely have a bright future in the future, and I guarantee that your dividends will increase tenfold in the coming year!" ”
Looking at the little girl's confident smile, Weng Feiran also smiled, and under the urging of Mu Qingqing, he went back to the palace to make the glass bottle.
After two days in a row, everything in the capital was peaceful. It's just that Ma Yan'er's mood is not very good.
The girls in the capital, in addition to embroidering and embroidering at home on weekdays, have nothing to do, taking advantage of the infinitely good summer scenery, always hold some tea parties and other activities, as the leader in the capital, Ma Yaner naturally wants to participate.
It's just that at yesterday's banquet, she lost face, I don't know what those noble ladies have smeared on their bodies, all of them are fragrant and can't extricate themselves, and they all hold a small and delicate lipstick in their hands, the summer is hot, the color of the lipstick will eventually fade, but they take the lipstick from time to time and color it on their mouths.
After the whole banquet, their complexions were so good.
But Ma Yan'er is different, she stayed outside for a whole day, and when she returned to the house, she was already discolored, and if it continues like this, the beauty ranking in the capital will be turbulent.
She also asked someone to inquire, only to know that it was a ghost caused by Yi Nian Fangfei, and she didn't know what was going on with this Yi Nian Fangfei, and overnight, it became a mess in the capital.
Thinking of the lipstick held by those noble girls, Ma Yan'er was also a little moved, and after thinking about it, she still stepped on the road to West Street.
I didn't think that as soon as I entered the store, I saw the white palm thing.
This is no new face!
