Successfully passing the level, Zhao Lin and Liang Song both breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage drove into the county seat, Zhao Lin and Liang Song said goodbye to the young man surnamed Xu, and then found an inn to stay.

They were reluctant to live in an expensive room, but they didn't dare to live in the kind of chase shop that cost five cents a night, so they chose a double room for forty dollars a night.

Zhao Lin estimated that a round trip would cost four or five hundred wen just for the carriage and horse accommodation.

If you count food, you can't afford half a tael of silver, and you really can't go out without money.

Nothing happened overnight, and the next day the two got on the carriage to Matsubara County.

This time, I didn't meet the coachman who cheated my father, and the road was smooth, and I came to Songyuan County in the evening.

Songyuan County is one of the top three counties in Yingzhou, and its prosperity is better than that of Qinghe County.

Zhao Lin was not in a hurry to trade goods, but pulled Liang Song to a gouache shop.

"Brother Zhao, this is a gouache shop."

Liang Song glanced at the shop sign and said in surprise.

"I know, I'm just going to buy gouache." Zhao Lin said with a smile.

Liang Song was stunned, "It's all women's household things, what are we going to do in there?" ”

Zhao Lin pulled him aside and explained softly: "In case, I mean in case, Beard finds out that we are hiding in the cave with a gallant bear and a mane without a mane, and he will definitely look for these two things in the market." ”

"If we track it down here, won't the store reveal our appearance?"

Liang Song heard the reason, glanced at the gouache shop, hesitated and embarrassed to enter.

"Or you wait here, I'll come when I go." Zhao Lin said and walked into the store.

When the waitress saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walking in, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What do you want to buy from the guest officer?" ”

"When you buy gouache, it's best to put on the kind that you can't see that you've put on makeup and don't fall off the powder."

"Give it away? We have goose egg powder, English rice powder, pearl powder, mercury greasy, grinding flower ......"

The waitress is quite skilled in the business and recommends several gouaches at different prices.

Zhao Lin didn't know what to do, and suddenly thought of a question: the ancients didn't know that lead was poisonous, and often used lead to whiten, so don't buy gouache containing lead, and you can't get it if it becomes chronic poisoning.

"What are you gouache made of?"

The waitress didn't expect that he, a man, would care about this, but in order to promote his own products, he patiently explained them one by one.

After listening to this, Zhao Lin determined that there are two kinds of powder that are pure natural and additive-free.

One is English rice flour, which is to grind the rice into fine powder, add water and put it in a bowl, wait for the fine powder to settle slowly, then pour out the water, dry the precipitation and grind it twice, and it is completed.

English rice noodles are cheap, but they tend to float and lose their powder.

Then there is pearl powder, which is purely polished into powder from pearls, which can not only be used for makeup, but also can be taken directly, which has the effect of calming the heart and brightening the eyes and removing toxins from the body.

The downside is one word: expensive.

A box actually costs 150 yuan.

In order to make the makeup natural, Zhao Lin gritted his teeth and bought a box of pearl powder, and bought a mirror, and the waitress gave him a small brush intimately.

"Alas, half of the pig is gone......"

Zhao Lin took a small box of gouache and thought to himself that no matter what era, a woman's money is the best to make.

It is definitely not possible to only apply pearl powder, so Zhao Lin bought a box of saffron powder and pu huang powder at a nearby pharmacy.

The two powders, one red and one yellow, are mixed with pearl powder and applied to the cheeks and neck.

Zhao Lin painted himself with a yellow face, while Liang Song had a red face, and they both looked several years older.

Although the technique is rough, the light is dim at night, and some imperfections do not affect the appearance.

"Is that okay? His face changed, but his appearance didn't change. Liang Song looked in the mirror and said with some uncertainty.

Zhao Lin nodded and said firmly: "Enough." If someone asks the store about our appearance, the store will say that it is a yellow-faced man and a red-faced man, and it is useless to explain the appearance in detail. ”

Packing up, they searched the street for the shops Zhou Paotou had mentioned.

Xiong Zhen gall is sold in the medicine hall, while Yu Hao's mane is sold in the Wenwan jade shop.

Because they had already understood the market in advance, the two didn't waste much time, and after some bargaining, the two goods were quickly sold.

Xiong Zhen gall sold for thirty-eight taels, and Yu Hao's mane was eighteen taels.

There are five taels of silver ingots and ten taels, which are not heavy in the hand, but they are money that many people cannot earn in their lifetime.

Suddenly getting such a large sum of money, the two of them were both excited and nervous, and they each took half of it for personal storage, for fear of losing it.

The first thing I did when I woke up the next day was to touch my chest......

Zhao Lin and Liang Song hurried during the day, rested at night, and returned to Qinghe County two days later.

When Zhou Paotou saw the two of them coming back, he was stunned at first and asked, "What is your face yellow?" Why is your face red again? ”

"Cold-resistant wax and refreshed ......"

Zhao Lin made a joke, and then said seriously: "Naturally, it is to hide people's eyes." ”

When he entered the house, he washed off the "makeup" on his face, and when he came out, Zhou Paotou had already called Zhu Dachun over.

After these days of raising, I wish Dachun a good recovery, it seems that the widow Wang has served well, and everyone has gained weight.

As soon as Zhu Dachun came up, he asked, "How much did it cost?" ”

"Fifty-six taels." Liang Truffle grinned.

Zhu Dachun smiled so hard that he grinned to the root of his ears, and counted how much money he could get with his fingers.

"How much did you spend on this trip?"

Zhou Paotou took out a small notebook, which recorded the cost of hunting and purchasing, and the cost of going to Songyuan County twice.

"400 wen by car, 180 wen by hotel......"

Zhao Lin only talked about the cost of carriage and horse accommodation, and did not mention the money to buy gouache.

Zhou Paotou deducted these expenses, plus the twenty taels paid from the beard, wrote and calculated for a while, and calculated that the total amount of money distributed was about seventy-five taels.

"Brother Zhao, how do you think the remaining ten percent is divided?"

Zhou Paotou put the bill on the table, his gaze swept over several people, and finally stopped on Zhao Lin's face.

The division was all agreed in advance, Zhou Paotou Sancheng, Zhao Lin Sancheng, Zhu Dachun and Liang Song were divided into three percent.

The last percent was distributed according to performance, and Zhao Lin contributed the most, so Zhou Paotou was the first to ask him.

Yicheng's money is seven and a half taels of silver, not a decimal number, Zhao Lin sighed slightly, and said: "I take two taels, I wish my eldest brother is injured and sees a doctor, I spent a lot of money, I think it is appropriate to divide it into three taels, and the remaining two halves Brother Pao and Brother Liang have divided." ”

In fact, simply according to the amount of effort, Zhao Linquan can't say anything if he takes them away, but that would be too impersonal, and he understands the proportions.

"I think so, what about the two of you?" Zhou Paotou said with a smile.

"Fair."

"Thank you Brother Zhao for your care."

Liang Song and Zhu Dachun said successively.

"Everyone has done a lot of work, and it should be."

Zhao Lin silently calculated in his heart, he had already taken thirteen taels last time, ransomed his brother and used ten taels, and gave Qian Sanming a red envelope of 500 wen.

This time, I got more than 11 taels, and the difference in the money on hand was less than 14 taels.

This money looks like a lot, but it can be used to learn martial arts for half a year at most.

Ever since he absorbed Xiong Zhen's spirit, his appetite has increased day by day, and the amount of food can be up to three per person, and he is almost inseparable from meat.

Although his strength is getting bigger and bigger, the cost of eating also makes him a little unbearable.

"Looks like we'll have to find a way to get some money!"
