Chapter 23: The Merchant
Those small things that are set up in small stalls or sold are very popular with those women, most of them are rouge gouache used by women, and some sell head flowers, hair cloths and hairpins. There are also some scattered wooden toys and other items.
After thinking about it, Ye Xuanxuan also went to take a look and chose a place with more people around.
As soon as I approached a cargo load, I saw some round and square porcelain boxes placed on the cargo load, the box had no pattern and was very monotonous, those should be ancient cosmetics. There were three or two women or children looking there, and it seemed that they wanted to buy them.
The seller of rouge gouache was actually a seller about thirty years old, with a bag combed on his head and wrapped in a square cloth. He was dressed in dark green cotton clothes, but some of them were washed white.
The man smiled at the sight of the man, and was not annoyed by the women who opened the rouge gouache and wanted to try it, and picked out some for them to try.
Seeing this seller, Ye Xuanxuan suddenly felt like she was back in modern times selling cosmetics, but she didn't expect this person to really have a set of things to sell.
Although it is normal to try cosmetics in modern times, it was rare in ancient times. It was originally a small business, and the products sold were also cheap, and the trial also wiped out the appearance of those rouge gouaches.
Both modern and ancient people like to take advantage of small advantages, especially women. It can be wiped and tried, and many people still try it during this period. Even if you don't buy it, you can make money just by wiping it, not to mention that after wiping it, you like it or are tempted by the merchant, so you will naturally pay for it.
Looking at the color they applied to their faces, the quality was very average. There are only two colors, and although the taste is very fragrant, it is a little too fragrant.
If it is placed in a large family's house, it is estimated that no one will buy it! If the fragrance is too strong, it looks a little cheesy.
After thinking about it, she also stepped forward and asked, "This big brother, how do you sell all this?" ”
Hearing Ye Xuanxuan's voice, the merchant glanced at her sideways, and said with a smile: "This girl, I have several kinds here." Look at this, this is rouge, twenty wen a box. After speaking, he picked up the square box next to him and said, "Girl, look at this again, this is gouache." The taste is fragrant, the price is also cheap, and it is also a box of 20 wen. I've got some grease here. After that, let her choose at will.
Although the seller was curious, a little girl dressed in such a shabby dress didn't look like she wanted to buy rouge gouache, but he still enthusiastically introduced it.
Ye Xuanxuan asked him again if he had just seen someone try it out, and he didn't know if she could use it.
As soon as he finished saying this, the seller was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Naturally, which one does the girl want to try?" ”
"That's it!" Ye Xuanxuan pointed to the gouache and said with a longing face.
Although Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er, who were standing on the side, didn't understand Ye Xuanxuan's thoughts, they were also obedient and did not interject.
Ye Erya only wants to dress up when her sister is also older, but these rouge gouaches are very expensive! Ye Baoer listened to Ye Xuanxuan for everything.
When the seller heard this, he picked up a box of gouache and asked her to try it herself, Ye Xuanxuan asked if there was a mirror to use, and the merchant took out a palm-sized bronze mirror and handed it to her.
Ye Xuanxuan took the bronze mirror and looked at it, this was the first time she looked at her face.
This Ye Daya is not bad-looking, but the ten-year-old children look like they are about eight years old, regardless of their height. His hair is yellow but well-combed, and his cheeks are pointed. The slender eyebrows like Ye Erya are also slightly provoked in the middle. The small nose and lips are not as thin and small as Ye Erya, and the round little mouth like Ye Bao'er is a little peeling and cracked. However, just looking at the facial features and the whole are passable, although they are not as beautiful as in their previous life, but it should not be bad to make money in the future and take care of it. Thinking like this, Ye Xuanxuan will not be entangled.
Ye Xuanxuan didn't say much, and slowly used it with a little gouache on her fingers.
She first dotted a little gouache on both sides, and then began to push it away with her fingers little by little. This is also the reason why Ye Xuanxuan chose gouache to try, after all, gouache is relatively dry and easy to push. If you use rouge, it is estimated that it will only get uglier and uglier by then, and if you have a monkey's butt face, Ye Xuanxuan will naturally refuse. After finishing it, he looked in the mirror again, and nodded in satisfaction.
Her transformation surprised the seller and the woman who was watching the goods next to her.
The seller thought that this little girl was quite good at dressing up, and she was also unique in her use of gouache, and the effect was also very good. The women who wanted to buy it or hesitated to buy it next to them were surprised, but they didn't expect this gouache to work so well after using it, and they could immediately see that it was different from the little face just now.
As if they were afraid of being robbed, without waiting for Ye Xuanxuan to speak, those women rushed to take out the money to buy the gouache, and some even bought rouge by the way.
This was the first time he had sold so quickly, and the seller suddenly understood Ye Xuanxuan's purpose. When the women were gone, the seller took out another box of gouache from under the load and said he would give it to her, thanks to her help in selling it so quickly.
Ye Xuanxuan didn't take it, thought about it and said to the seller: "Actually, you can prepare a few small boxes to hold some rouge gouache for others to try." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the seller was stunned.
That's right! In this way, there is no need to open rouge gouache for others to try every time, and it is naturally easier to sell if it has not been touched.
He agreed with Ye Xuanxuan's method in his heart, and hurriedly thanked her.
After thinking about it, Ye Xuanxuan took out ten cents and handed it to her without accepting rouge: "Thank you girl this time, if it weren't for the girl's help, I wouldn't have sold so fast and sold so much today." Although this money is not much, it is a heart-to-heart. ”
Ye Xuanxuan still didn't take it.
He looked at the load and asked, "You did all this yourself?" Are there any other facial greases that can be used to wipe your face or dress up? "The creams or cosmetics used to wipe the face here are called facial creams.
The seller didn't expect her to ask, but he immediately explained, "I made it with my child's mother." The girl also saw it, and that's all I have here. There is also a kind of facial grease, which moistens the face. After speaking, he took out a square box and handed it to Ye Xuanxuan.
Ye Xuanxuan took it and opened it to see that it was an ordinary cream, and the modern cream was much thicker. Looking at such a cream made Ye Xuanxuan think of the domestic Ya Cream, which is also similar to this, thicker and more fragrant. After reading and asking, he handed it back to the seller.
The seller was a little entangled when he saw that she didn't even collect the face fat, and he didn't understand what this girl was going to do.
