[Red Chamber] When I became Grandma Liu

This capital city is really prosperous, all kinds of things are gathered here, there are all kinds of things to eat, drink and play.

Although Gou'er has seen his family get such a huge sum of money, he has been poor for a long time and becomes rich after all. Although his pockets are bulging, he still has the mentality of poor people in his bones, and he is not willing to spend money recklessly, so he dare not mess around in places such as Nawazigoulan. .

Liu Cui was originally interested in entertainment such as storytelling, storytelling, singing, juggling and other entertainments in ancient times. These things gradually disappeared in her previous life, and Liu Cui only saw many of them in textbooks.

But after all, it's important to do business, and if you linger, you might have to go home at night.So the two hurried past the playing place, entered various shops in the capital and started shopping.

Although the variety of goods in the capital is more complete than that in the town, the price is also slightly higher than that in the town, so the dog does not dare to buy more, and only buys those things that are not available in the town.

For the rest of the time, Gou'er accompanied his mother-in-law to shop, watched her buy some weird things, made strange requests to the craftsmen, and customized some strange things.

Gou'er couldn't understand what his mother-in-law was doing, but after all, he had said beforehand that Liu Cui spent the money he sold ginseng, so Gou'er didn't say much, but quietly carried what Liu Cui bought.

When the sun was about to set to the west, the dog reminded Liu Cui that it was getting late, and it would be too late if she didn't go back, so Liu Cui reluctantly left, because she hadn't finished shopping yet.Because the things they bought this time were many and big, and the two of them got a lot of money, they were rich again.

Liu Cui finally got into the carriage that Grandma Liu was reluctant to part with last time.

Sitting in the carriage compartment, Liu Cui opened the door curtain and looked out. Looking at the familiar scene that quickly passed by outside, she remembered that she was exhausted carrying the board back home before, and felt a little unreal in a trance.

Is this really a story in a book?

Or is it the real world, just caught a glimpse by Cao Xueqin by chance?

No matter, let's finish our task first!

I can do it!

Liu Cui hugged the package on her lap tightly, and once again firmly believed in it!

.......................................

On the other side, Aunt Xue was checking the list of gifts with Baochai in her room, and kept chanting: "This 3000 taels of silver is for Wang Yushi, this South China Sea pearl is for Mrs. Li, and this is an authentic work by Yan Zhenqing." Give Gao Jijiu..."

And very solemnly changed the old ginseng into a white jade box inlaid with precious agates, and then put the precious one away alone, and said happily to Baochai: "The mother who waited for Sun Zhizao to pass her birthday, let's send it there .This ginseng is so old and so precious, the old lady must be very happy. Next year, we will be able to supply Da Nei's errand, our family should be stable."

In fact, in the past, Xue's family didn't have to be like this, they had to spend all their time and effort to make a living.Because Aunt Xue made up her mind to live in the capital permanently, the old friends who were in the capital had to resume contact and walk around frequently, so that some convenient things could be done.

Moreover, even though the Xue family's business was going from bad to worse, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and Aunt Xue came from the famous Wang family, so the communication naturally paid attention to ostentation.Secondly, officials and businessmen do not separate their families, and exchanges of favors can also gain some protection for Xue's family.

Otherwise, with Xue Pan's dandyism today, it's like a child walking in a busy city with money, it's dangerous!

How could those old foxes in the shopping mall easily let go of the fat of the Xue family?The destruction of the Xue family can only happen overnight.

Now the mother and daughter can still maintain their glamorous appearance, all thanks to the moment of breathing in exchange for this gift.

Therefore, even though Baochai had other ideas at this time, he couldn't bear to let others take advantage of his family's advantage, and made wedding clothes for others with his father's hard-working family business.But he was young and couldn't think of other good ways, so he could only silently obey his mother's decision.

At any rate...At any rate, it can make those Xiao Xiao people a little bit jealous, and they can't treat our family as mud...

If only...if I were a man, I would definitely be as capable as Daddy...

Xue Baochai thought silently in her heart.

..........................................

When we arrived at Wangjia Village, it was almost dark.The carriage drove all the way to the door of Liu Cui's house. When getting off the car, Liu Cui accidentally caught a glimpse of the neighbors hiding behind, and someone peeping behind them. Liu Cui chuckled lightly and ignored it.

Liu Lan was very happy to see the big bags and small bags bought by this dog, but she was very puzzled by Liu Cui's bottles and cans.

After Grandma Liu's husband died, the mother and daughter depended on each other for life, and their relationship was very deep. Naturally, they talked about everything.Liu Lan went directly to ask Liu Cui what they were doing.

For this kind of behavior that is not suitable for an old lady in the countryside, Liu Cui, who is already experienced, has already prepared a draft, and now she just opened her mouth: "I fled around with your grandfather when I was young, and I once served a young lady. Miss is good at making some rouge and gouache, so I learned a lot from her. I used to be poor and had no conditions, but now I have money, so I want to make some rouge and gouache. Sure to make a lot of money."

Due to the war and the fact that Liu Cui moved from the city to the countryside with her father, Liu Cui's experience when she was young, Liu Langouer and others naturally have no way of knowing.So Liu Cui simply made up an unfounded young lady, and if there are any strange things in the future, they will all be pushed to the "miss".

Anyway, the ladies here are clean, and they are raised in deep boudoirs. People outside sometimes don't even know their names or looks, let alone what they do.

Besides, when Gou also bought Liu Lan rouge powder, Liu Cui also went in to take a closer look. The variety here is still very scarce, and the colors are also very few, far less than the dozens of lipsticks in later generations.Liu Cui was full of confidence immediately.

The saying "I have what others don't have, and I have what others have" is one of the secrets of doing business.And selling ginseng is not a long-term solution after all.

Moreover, the reason why ginseng is so precious lies in its rarity. Bu Xianshan looks huge, and there are many good things in it. However, according to Liu Cui's ability, it is still very difficult to obtain them, and Liu Cui cannot complete her task. , unless Liu Cui can find a peerless treasure, and then find a way to dedicate it to the emperor or other princes and nobles, and hug a huge thigh, otherwise Liu Cui still has to think of other ways.

And these bottles and cans are Liu Cui's biggest reliance at present!

Although Liu Cui doesn't have the methods of making glass and soap in her mind, she has received 21 years of edification in the 20st century.

As we all know, in modern society, it is generally advocated that there are many skills without overwhelming one's body, and that one should be prepared for any danger.And "Parents love their sons, and they have far-reaching plans" (from "Touching the Dragon and Talking about the Queen Mother Zhao")

As long as conditions permit, most parents want their children to learn more and take a few extra-curricular interest classes to increase their competitiveness in society in the future.And Liu Cui was one of the children who went to extra-curricular remedial classes crying.

So Liu Cui learned painting for a period of time, besides common sketches, she also practiced oil painting and gouache painting.This makes Liu Cui more familiar with various pigments and more sensitive to colors.

In addition, Liu Cui participated in the chemical interest club activities in college, and everyone made ancient rouge and modern lipstick together, which is also considered a bit of experience.Later, out of curiosity, I searched for some ancient videos of making rouge gouache to watch.

After all, everyone has the love of beauty!

Thanks to Liu Cui's clever mind, the rough production steps are still preserved in Liu Cui's memory today.

Sure enough, too many skills do not overwhelm you!Be prepared!

Liu Cui is very grateful to her studious self and to her parents. Liu Cui has finally figured out what she is going to do in this world of red chambers!

Today, I go to the capital to buy molds. Fortunately, the wisdom of the people is infinite. Many props in the club cannot be copied here, but the principles are the same.

Liu Cui managed to buy some things with similar functions, and fiddled with them in the courtyard every day, which was very hard.

Liu Lan and Gou'er couple watched Liu Cui's operations every day, and they didn't let them help, and they didn't get any results, so they started muttering in private again, worrying whether this would be feasible.

of course

you can!

Liu Cui is time-traveling, that is not an ordinary person, in other words, that is "Daughter of Destiny", "Heaven's Proud Son", "Heaven's Favorite", isn't that what is written in those time-travel dramas?

In addition, the smooth sales of ginseng made Liu Cui swell, and she believed more and more that she would do something, so she focused on doing her own rouge powder experiment.

Forcibly turning myself into a science student doing experiments from a liberal arts student,

However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny......

After a busy period of time like this, the snow fell again and again, and it was almost the New Year in a blink of an eye, but Liu Cui's experiments failed again and again.

Rouge in ancient times can be used for both purposes. It can be used as lipstick on the mouth and blush on the face.It has a wide range of uses. Of course, the production of rouge is not easy and the price is relatively expensive, so the profits are naturally huge.

The process is neither simple nor complicated. The petals are crushed, the juice is filtered out, and then sesame oil and other things are added, and then steamed, and it can be used when it solidifies.It's just that because there are few flowers in winter, Liu Cui uses red plums and dried petals.

But Liu Cui looked at what she made, which was completely different from what Liu Cui made in modern times. What went wrong!

Liu Cui fell into deep thought... what is wrong?

Could it be that the things of modern society can’t be put into the world of Red Mansions?

There must be something wrong!

Then Liu Cui experimented again and again, setting up a control group for comparison, and finally...

Until now, Liu Cui has to admit that she is not the child of luck, let alone the darling of heaven, but just an ordinary 20-year-old girl...

Even now □□ is 60 years old.

So... how do I break this situation?I can't make rouge and gouache, and I can't make money. How can I close the class gap with Jia's house?Not to mention what tasks to complete!

Liu Cui started to worry.

Or, I should change my thinking and method. Why is this opening so difficult? !

The author has something to say:

There are many interest clubs in the university, and some clubs related to chemistry will organize activities for free, teaching everyone how to make lipstick, soap and other things. (My school has it. I pay for the raw materials by myself, and then we all make things together. I don’t know if other schools have it)

PS: "Children hold gold and walk in downtown" I Baidu found it was from "Suichang Miscellaneous Records", but I read it back and forth three times and couldn't find the original sentence, so I searched in other browsers, but couldn't find it. But there are similar sentences in many articles, which should be common sayings.

What science students can do, liberal arts students can also do, and what liberal arts students can do, science students can also do... So, I hope that readers of novels will not be too excited about liberal arts students doing rouge, because in practice, making rouge is the most important thing. It is entirely possible to succeed.
