Chapter 156: Homemade Lipstick
It took a long time for the two to recover.
"Fisherman, so much money ......"
Xu felt flustered and felt very hot. It seems that his family has taken advantage of the villagers.
Ye Yu couldn't understand her thoughts, and said helplessly: "Auntie, we don't have to lose this money." More than 700 catties of fish were rowed to a farther pier, and they couldn't make more money because of their labor. Now that it is sold to us, it is already very good to earn an extra two pennies per catty. I also know that we will definitely make a lot of money, but we can't add more money to them, and it will be easy to make a mess if we add more. ”
Two cents is already a joy to men, but if it is three cents, four cents, and five cents, then they should be suspicious. What do you do when you buy so much seafood, why do you add so much to them so generously, whether you are at a loss, and can you raise it again.
The human heart is the most volatile thing, and Ye Yu feels that two cents is just right.
"Anyway, after our warehouse is built, we will build a workshop, and we will have to hire a lot of people in the village at that time, and the wages will be appropriately raised, and we will send some food during the New Year's holidays, which can be regarded as a subsidy for the villagers."
Hearing his daughter's words, Xu's heart was much more relaxed. It's just that 140,000 is too big, and she always feels unsteady.
"Yu'er, what are you going to do with 140,000 yuan?"
"Auntie, don't look at 140,000 yuan, it's not enough to buy some big things. Didn't I tell you before that I wanted to buy the grid that could be enclosed in the woods. Sister Sang roughly calculated, the flower field and our yard are surrounded by about two or three hundred thousand. ”
Xu was stunned, 100,000 is not enough, 200,000 or 300,000!
She almost didn't know money, what power grid was so expensive, it cost two or three hundred thousand.
"Miss Sang, will she be deceived?"
"How is it possible, Sister Sang is smart. The power grid is of great use to our family, and if you have money, you must buy it. ”
Xu was a little distressed, but she could hear the firmness in her daughter's words, and she couldn't help but look forward to it a little more.
Is the power grid as a magical treasure as the electric light?
Ye Yu is also looking forward to it, but Sister Sang said that Baoshan Island needs too much, and there is not so much stock on Haihua Island, so it will take two or three days to ship it to Xiaoyun Island.
The deposit of 50,000 yuan was paid by Sister Sang in advance, and as soon as she received Aunt Zhuo's transfer, she sent it to Sister Sang.
Tonight's deal has boosted her confidence, and it is a profitable deal. Tomorrow, when all the fishermen in the village come to the island to sell their catch, they will surely be able to harvest even more.
By the way, there seems to be a little bit of a shortage of vats at home, so I have to buy a few more.
Ye Yu's head was densely packed with business matters, and the next morning he asked Uncle Shi to take someone to the county town to buy barrels and ingredients.
She buys rice and noodles from Xiaoyun Island, and vegetables and meat are bought in the county seat. Now that there are more than a dozen mouths on the island, the consumption is very large, and Ye Chuanfu picked up the purchase again.
He brought a big man who he just bought back yesterday, named Da Kui, he is the same as Ye Chuanfu, he is very strong, and it is much easier for Ye Chuanfu to carry things with his help.
When they returned to Baoshan Island after shopping, they found that there were many people gathered on the beach.
Today's fishing boat has only been out for a few hours, and of course it is not for the sale of catches, but for the women of the village. Because I heard that Ye Yu also collected dry goods, he took a downwind boat and came together.
Ye Yu is young in the end, and her opinions on the quality of dry goods are not as good as Ah Niang and Aunt Qiu, so it is up to Ah Niang and Aunt Qiu to check the quality, and she and Erya are responsible for weighing and paying.
They collect salted fish, small dried fish, and dried squid, especially clams and oysters, which can be seen everywhere, and collect the most. It wasn't enough that both bags of marijuana were full, and two more large bags were taken out.
The villagers were busy until noon. Ye Yu counted and collected a total of almost 400 catties of dry goods. If it weren't for the damp dry goods on the beach, the villagers would definitely be able to save more.
"I really can't see that they still have dried abalone at home."
When he got home, Xu also counted it and couldn't help but smack his tongue.
Abalone are not as easy to handle as clams and oysters, they are all attached to deep underwater reefs, and only those who are very good at the water can get some home when they are lucky.
Among the dry goods collected today, there are nearly 10 catties of large dried abalone, and they can be sold for 40 catties a pound without adding two pennies.
"Auntie, why don't we keep this for ourselves?"
Speaking of people from the family, everyone has never tasted abalone. Xu Shi was a little moved when he heard it, but he still didn't respond when he thought about it.
"Let's ask that Mrs. Zhuo first, and ask the price of dried abalone."
Ye Yu had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and take a photo of the dried abalone in the basin and send it to Aunt Zhuo to ask for the price. However, she thinks it shouldn't be too expensive, the most expensive seafood at the moment is blue crab and lobster, abalone is too far away from them, and the taste should not be too different from the same seafood.
Dry goods, two hundred and one pounds?
This is her own estimate, and if it is really this price, she thinks she can keep it and eat it at home. Hundreds of blue crabs have been eaten, and you can't afford to eat a few abalones?
A phone that vibrates suddenly prompts a new reply. Aunt Zhuo on the other side sent an estimate of a string of abalones, as well as a slightly excited voice.
"Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, how much dry goods have you received, can you get Xiaoyun Island today?"
Listening to the voice, you could tell that she was excited.
Ye Yu looked at the quotation of the string of abalone in WeChat and gasped. The price given by Aunt Zhuo is classified, what double-headed abalone, four-headed abalone. For example, if two similar abalone have a pound together, then this abalone is a double-headed abalone, and if there is a pound of four similar abalones, then it is called a four-headed abalone.
These collected by their own families are very fat when they are not fished in the sea all year round, and they are very large even if they become dry goods. It is estimated that there are not many double-headed abalones, but there are still a lot of three-headed abalone and four-headed abalones.
The little girl looked down at her phone again, and after making sure that she was not dazzled, she regretfully put away the abalone.
Aunt Zhuo's offer is 601 catties for four abalones, which is 1,0200 pounds, and 2,0100 catties for three abalones, which is 4,000 for doubles, how can she be willing to eat it.
This line of work is really profitable, Ye Yu couldn't help but ask Sister Sang why dried abalone is so expensive.
Sangi hurriedly sent her a message back.
"In fact, the nutritional value of abalone is not worth the high price, but it has a small yield, high breeding conditions, and the bigger it is, the rarer it is. A few years ago, hundreds of thousands of abalone were auctioned, and eating it was a face, so don't worry about this, anyway, sell it high. ”
Ye Yu sighed, hundreds of thousands of abalones, rich people are really rich.
This batch of dry goods is not too heavy, and she sent it to the garage by herself after eating at noon, and then waited for the seafood in the evening to be sold before settling the bill together.
Another huge sum of money fell into the pocket.
After making money, of course, you have to buy some delicious food to treat your family. For the first time, Ye Yu used his mobile phone to buy food online.
There are sweet cakes and milk tea, which are for the family. There are also a few catties of soju and side dishes, which are given to the people who work in the Lian family. As for those who bought it, they still eat steamed buns, but today there are dishes to accompany them.
Ying Jiu's illness got a lot better after hanging the bottle for a day, and then he took medicine, and he didn't cough anymore the next day, and he was a lot more energetic.
At lunchtime, everyone divided into a few small piles, and sat together with people they knew. Gu Kun was naturally with him.
"Xiao Jiu, Miss Ye said, you don't have to work now when you're sick."
"It's okay, I feel better now. Besides, there is medicine to eat, and it is not in the way to do a little work. Miss Ye and Miss Shisu are kind to me, and I feel uncomfortable just lying down and not working. ”
Ying Jiu took a big bite of the steamed bun and pulled the vegetables to eat together, and was very satisfied with such a lunch. Compared to the time when he was a guard in the mansion, the life of the present is called a life of people.
"Ah Kun, I think it's good here. Isolated from the world, the scenery is still so beautiful. The main family is gentle, even if you die of old age, there is no regret about it. ”
At present, people can live comfortably, who wants to be aggrieved.
Gu Kun nodded approvingly.
"I love it too. I heard that Miss Shiso said that when this warehouse is built, we will live in a few rooms, if you don't want to live together, you can make a tree house on the tree by yourself, as long as you have the craft, you can do it. What do you think of us getting a treehouse? ”
"Huh? When did Miss Shiso tell you what I said, why don't I remember? ”
Gu Kun: "......"
"It's time to get you medicine, can you say this idea first?"
"Okay, why not...... By the way, I'll go by myself next time I get the medicine. ”
After Ying Jiu finished speaking, he got up and went to work, but he didn't see his good brother roll his eyes behind his back.
Pneumonia was considered very serious in ancient times, but it was quickly cured with modern medicine. When Ying Jiujiu's illness was completely cured, the monitoring and power grid set by Ye Yu arrived on Xiaoyun Island.
There are so many power grids that they fill the yard and some can't fit in. There is also a lot of monitoring, but it is much smaller. This thing is easy to install, look at the instructions and collect it. Ye Yu handed over the twenty monitors to Uncle Shi and asked him to install them at the place he designated.
She installed one in her yard and two outside the yard, and she put the rest around the flower field and by the beach.
After installing it, she operated on the specific APP interface a few times, and saw the real-time picture transmitted back by the monitor, and she was shocked.
She saw that the flower seedlings in the flower field were lush and growing very well, and she also saw the Lian family and the men who bought it who were building a warehouse in full swing. obviously said that he should rest for a few days, but he didn't expect him to work together.
Switch the picture to a blue sky and white clouds again. The footprints of the villagers who had disembarked from the boat had been leveled out again with the waves that had come up over and over again.
Although she had seen the monitor in the supermarket before, she couldn't help but be amazed when she saw the images coming from various parts of the island after she got her hands on it.
The development of the world where Sister Sang lives is really admirable, and this kind of thing can be invented. In the future, even if you don't have to go out, you can see the changes around the island.
Of course, Ye Yu shared such a good thing with Erya and A-Niang for the first time. Aunt Qiu is often sleepy during pregnancy, so she won't quarrel with her.
The phone was handed over to the second girl, so that they could enjoy themselves. Ye Yu returned to Xiaoyun Island and began to carry those power grids.
The power grid that Sister Sang bought is not a net in the traditional sense, but a small door with staggered silver wires in the door. They can also be folded up, and the front and last doors can be pushed away with wheels, and the wheels can be removed when the place is determined.
Probably because he was thinking that it was difficult to carry and carry it himself, Ye Yu's heart was warm, and he pushed a stack of power grids to the side of the stone wall. She is responsible for pushing over here, and A-Niang and Erya are responsible for pushing the power grid into the yard.
The newly built yard is so big that it can be put down.
"Sister Xiaoyu, I'll help you!"
Dabao, who ran out to play and try his luck by the way, saw Ye Yu's eyes light up, and hurried over to help.
Although his mind is like a child's strength, he is still the strength of an adult man, and with his help, Ye Yu's power grid will be pushed out quickly.
This guy has become a lot smarter, worried that Ye Yu will suddenly disappear again, and this time he secretly followed her tightly holding the hem of her clothes.
Ye Yu couldn't cry or laugh, and after coaxing for a long time, he couldn't coax people away, so he had to let him stay. was about to use his mobile phone to send a message to Aunt Ruan, when he suddenly saw Sister Sang send a video.
"Little fisherman, the power grid has been sent over, you move over and fix the position first. Then look at how far away the plugged net is from your home. If the wires are to be ordered, they will have to be delivered in a few days along with the transformer, and you will have to come for safety training. ”
Although the power grid doesn't release enough electricity to kill people, it's still okay to cause people to fall into a coma. If Xiaobai rushes with a hooded head, it will be himself who can't hurt it, so he has to train a little first.
Ye Yu naturally responded, she had always listened to Sister Sang's words.
After the safety training was scheduled for ten days, she planned to make what Mrs. Kong asked for first.
What Mrs. Kong wanted was a fragrant thing with the smell of osmanthus. Osmanthus is available in many places along the coast, but it does not bloom at this time, so you can buy it at a high price in the county. However, she looked on the Internet, and the dried osmanthus flowers on the Internet were cheaper, so she chose to buy them online.
It was delivered in the same city in one day, which is very convenient.
In addition to the dried osmanthus flowers she bought online, she also bought a bottle of 96-degree alcohol, a whole piece of beeswax, a jar of cochineal, a few fresh roses, and some particularly beautiful small porcelain jars, which can be used to hold rouge lipid eyebrow powder.
The rest of the sealed containers and the cheat sheets needed for filtration had been bought and placed in the handmade hut.
She buys a lot of dried osmanthus, and is ready to try several more times if it doesn't work out once. However, the perfume making method she chose can be made by a fool, and it feels like it won't fail.
She shut herself in the hut and turned on a headlight that was brighter than outside. First weigh 25 grams of osmanthus with a small scale, pour it into a glass bottle, and then add alcohol to submerge and seal. This had to be soaked for four or five days, and Ye Yu didn't care about it, and put the bottle in the corner first.
The next thing to do is lipstick, which uses cochineal. Ye Yuzhi, who has an in-depth understanding, can only do better by adding this thing to the fat. This thing is a little more expensive, more than 1,000 yuan per catty. Anyway, she plans to make it for A-Niang and Aunt Qiu, and her family is worth it.
Cochineal is an insect that grows on cacti, the size of a grain of rice that is like grass seed when dried. She bought such a jar of cochineal.
The dark red cochineal is poured into a stone mortar and ground into powder, and the leaves are ground a lot, and after grinding, they are poured into a large cup and mixed with hot water and stirred. After stirring well, take a colander and strain them again, strain out the slag and then take the filtered water to boil.
The first time she did this, she was in good spirits, and when she saw that the water was about to boil to the bottom, and the water had become muddy, she took it away and put another pot on the stove.
This pot is boiled with camellia oil, and a large piece of beeswax is added, and it melts into one piece as soon as the fire is burned. At this time, the mud boiled by the cochineal insects was put in and stirred together, and the original yellow liquid instantly turned red.
The steps are as simple as that, but Ye Yu will inevitably be nervous the first time he does it, and he almost made the wrong thing several times. Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the end, and after stirring it up, it was poured directly into the rouge jar prepared earlier.
When beeswax is added, these liquids will solidify on their own as long as they are cooled. Ye Yuyan waited for a long time to see the finished product.
The little girl was broken, so she first took the mirror and twisted it a little and wiped it on her lips. A little soft paste melts on the lips, and the faint red fades little by little, making the two lips particularly beautiful.
This mouth is very moisturized, and the lips that were originally somewhat dry are very comfortable after applying, and they are not tight at all.
She tried it herself, and she felt very good, and immediately happily took it out to find A-Niang and Aunt Qiu to offer treasures.
"Huh? Ah Yu, your lips ......"
The woman's attention was so precise, Ye Yu had just come out of the handmade hut, and Lian Qiu found that her lip color was different.
Xu looked back and saw that it was indeed the case. My daughter's lips turned red and brightened. She quickly thought of something and happily went over to ask.
"Yu'er, have you made a salva?"
"A-Niang, you are so smart~ Come and see, this is what I made for you with my own hands!"
She didn't dare to start adjusting the color, so what she did was ordinary red. She took out two small jars, one for each person.
"Aunt Qiu, I asked the doctor, and she said that the lipid I made can also be used by pregnant people, and if you are not at ease, you can also wait until you give birth to a little doll before using it."
Lian Qiu smiled and nodded, took the small jar and opened it to smell it.
"It's a nice smell, I've never smelled it."
"It should be the aroma of camellia oil, Aunt Aniangqiu, try it, it must be very beautiful!"
Ye Yu really wanted to see the effect of the finished product he made on his family, but both of them were a little shy and refused to use it in the yard. She had no choice but to take the jar again to find Erya.
Recently, Dr. Chen's health was not good, and Erya also stayed in the courtyard to continue to study medical skills, so she was naturally caught by her.
Erya was very cooperative, and she obediently applied lipstick.
This Ye Yu looks more intuitive, this fat is really very good. Erya's lip color has always been a little light, and the whole person is a little brighter, and her complexion has also improved.
"It feels so good, my mouth isn't so dry. Ah Yu, you are really amazing, you have made saliva so quickly, how about it, how much is this baby going to sell? ”
Erya has always known that Ye Yu wants to do rouge gouache in the town, but now that the lipstick has been made, it is not far away.
"I'll have to think about this, and I'll show it to Mrs. Nakong first. She has used a lot of good things, and she can compare them. If the fat isn't too good, then I'll have to change the recipe...... That's right, change the way! I can make a few more backups now. ”
Anyway, online shopping is very fast, she will buy some petal raw materials to toss and toss other recipes, and take them together when the time comes!
Thinking of it, he did it, Ye Yu stuffed the jar into Erya's arms and excitedly got into the handmade hut.
Er Ya smiled, this guy usually looks very stable, but now he looks like a hairy child.
Interrupted by Ye Yu, she was not in the mood to read for the time being, and after talking to her aunt, she went out with a basket and a small medicine hoe.
Baoshan Island is very large, with many trees and plants, and naturally there are many medicinal herbs.
Her favorite thing to do on weekdays when she has nothing to do is to dig up herbs all over the island and make them at home. In this way, you can not only exercise your eyesight, but also exercise your ability to concoct medicinal materials.
From afar, Ying Jiu, who was working, noticed that she was carrying a small backpack into the forest alone, and for some reason she was always at ease.
"Ah Kun, I still seem to be a little uncomfortable, I'll go find a place to rest for a while, if Uncle Ye asks, you can help me."
Gu Kun was holding the brick with one hand with difficulty, and when he heard the words of the good brother, he did not doubt him, so he simply responded. By the time he put the bricks and turned back to see where his brother was uncomfortable, there was no shadow of the person.
Ying Jiu followed Erya into the forest together, and soon found out that she was the one who came into the forest to collect medicine. I wanted to follow her from a distance to protect her, but I didn't go far when I encountered two snakes.
He didn't know that they were poisonous and poisonous, and he just wanted to kill them quickly so as not to scare Miss Shiso again. His skills are good, and his movements are neat enough, and the two snakes were poked by him with sticks and they can't die anymore. But he was looking at Er Ya and playing with snakes, and he didn't notice that there was also a snake in the tree beside him.
"Hiss......"
One didn't pay attention and was bitten on the neck.
When Erya heard the movement, she turned around and was startled when she saw Ying Jiu holding her neck with one hand and a snake with the other.
"Be careful! That's a viper! ”
Er Ya hurriedly ran over to help kill the snake in his hand and throw it aside.
"Sit down first, let the wound loosen and show me."
She had long been familiar with the method of dealing with poisonous snake bites, and after sitting down for a long time, she checked the wound on his neck. At this time, it should be too late to go back and ask someone to get something, but after thinking about it, she decided to help deal with it herself first.
The poisonous blood should be cleared out as soon as possible, she didn't care about any men and women, and after sucking out the poisonous blood a few times, she quickly rinsed her mouth with the water in the basket a few times, and then used the remaining water to clean Ying Jiu's wound.
This kid is really lucky, he didn't pick a few plants of medicine when he came out, and he happened to have snake venom.
Erya frowned while rubbing the herbs and asked, "What are you doing in this forest?" ”
"I, I just saw you enter the forest alone, I'm afraid of any danger......"
Ying Jiu's face was red, and his ears were red. I don't know if it's because of shame or because of something.
"I often collect my own medicines, and what is the danger of carrying insect repellent sachets and powder. It's you, who didn't prepare anything, and were too bold. ”
Ying Jiu said, his head was hot at the time, and he didn't expect this stubble at all.
