[Red Chamber] When I became Grandma Liu

Another day, when Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were sitting in the back room chatting, Ping'er came in to wait on her. Wang Xifeng saw Ping'er's makeup and felt that Ping'er's makeup was very different from the other days, her face was pink and more delicate.

This Jia Lian usually has a little interest in Sister Feng, a pretty maid, but now when she sees Ping'er who is different from usual, her eyes straighten instantly, without blinking, her complexion is fully revealed.

Ping'er naturally felt the fiery eyes on his face, and couldn't help but groan secretly, shameless.

When I came in, I didn't know that the second master Lian was there, otherwise I wouldn't have come here with such beautiful rouge, and Sister Feng would be jealous again in a while.

Ping'er is worthy of being a maid who grew up with Sister Feng since she was a child. She knows Sister Feng very well. On the collapsed table, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, squinting his eyes: "Is the second master satisfied with my maid?"

Jia Lian immediately came to his senses, looked at the tigress at home, and immediately denied it: "Where is it, I just saw that Ping'er's makeup today is relatively novel, so I took a few more glances."

Ping'er stood aside, took out a box of rouge, handed it to Wang Xifeng, and said, "Second Grandma, this is the box of rouge. I heard from the sisters that this rouge is a new product from Yixuan Pavilion, and it is sold in limited quantities. , I waited in line for a long time before I bought a box, tried it, and the effect was not bad, so I specially dedicated it to my grandma, and by the way, I also wished grandma an early year."

It was only now that Jia Lian knew what was going on. Seeing that the rouge was in such high demand and there was only such a box, she wanted to reach out to get it, and also wanted to buy a box for Second Sister You, who was kept outside, to please Second Sister You. It's also good to be romantic.

Seeing this Jia Lian's hand stretched out, Wang Xifeng quickly knocked it away, protected the rouge box, and with a sound of anger, quickly opened the box.

A fragrance came to the face, it seemed to be the fragrance of plum blossom but mixed with other fragrances; looking carefully at the color, it was a different tender red color from before; Unlike other rouges, the color is more rounded.At first glance, it is the first-class rouge!

Wang Xifeng closed the lid immediately after watching it, and said with a smile: "Forget it, you little hoof, you will find me later, and I will subsidize the money for buying rouge for you, so that you won't have to talk about it all day long to give to your second grandma." It's no use doing business."

"Second Grandma, this rouge is really good. What I painted on my face is a gift from buying this box. It is a trial sample. You can see how precious this box of rouge is by looking at my complexion." Ping'er climbed up the pole.

Wang Xifeng laughed and scolded: "You girl, ghost, ghost, I don't know what you're thinking, go to the cashier to get the reward. Next time Yixuan Pavilion releases new products, remember to buy some more for me."

Just talking and laughing, a girl came to report that it was Yu Chuaner from Mrs. Wang who came over.

"It must be that my aunt has something important to do, please come in quickly."

This Yu Chuan'er is not young, but she is already a first-class maid. On weekdays, she and her sister Jin Chuan'er are deeply liked by Mrs. Wang, and their status in the mansion is like that of a commoner.

Seeing Yu Chuan'er coming in, followed by a third-class maid holding a tray, Yu Chuan'er saluted first, and then said with a smile: "Recently, there is a kind of rouge popular in the capital, Mrs. Xue sent a few boxes to Mrs. Let's use it and change it."

Seeing the familiar style, Wang Xifeng first turned her head and teased Ping'er: "You little hoof runs faster than the gift from my aunt."

He smiled again and said to Yu Chuan'er: "It's been a long journey, Yu Chuan'er, thank you two aunts for me."

Yu Chuan'er wanted to go to other girls, so she said goodbye after exchanging a few pleasantries.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng had two boxes of good rouge in an instant, Jia Lian felt itchy and missed her little love, but fearing Xifeng's usual fierceness, she dared not ask for a box, so she quietly opened the box while no one was looking. The rouge box, indeed, was a top-quality product, so I felt a little itchy, and after remembering the appearance of this rouge and the store where it was sold, I used an excuse to go out, and hurriedly sent a servant to buy this rouge, so as to please the beauty.

Seeing Jia Lian leave, Ping'er immediately moved to Wang Xifeng's side, and the two whispered again.

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

The boy got the order and didn't dare to delay, so he rushed to Yixuan Pavilion. Yixuan Pavilion is one of the largest rouge shops in the capital. Naturally, the shop inside is not small and can accommodate many customers. There is no room for it, so we have to wait in a long line, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeepers are busy walking around.

Looking at the sea of ​​people, the boy looked at the clothes of the people around him, and he could see that they were all servant girls from wealthy families. This boy didn't dare to show off the prestige of the Rongguo Mansion to forcefully jump in line, so he had to wipe off his sweat and be honest. Really go to line up.

Here, in the restaurant in front of Yixuan Pavilion, Liu Cui, Gou'er and Uncle Wu are having dinner. Through this window, you can see that there are endless streams of people in front of this rouge shop, most of them are servant girls from rich families serving their own family. Mademoiselle orders to buy rouge.I have to say that the wealthy families in the capital are really well-informed.

Seeing this scene, Liu Cui couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as expected, cosmetics are a woman's treasure, no matter what era, women's pursuit of beauty is crazy.

Gou'er even lost his composure: "I didn't expect this rouge and gouache to make so much money. Looking at the popularity, I'm afraid it won't be long before we have to expand the workshop and recruit more people. This is much better than spending money to buy land and collect rent. "Liu Cui gave Gou'er a dark look. What's so good about being a local landlord? No merchant has money. The richest people in ancient times were those who were in business.

"I've been making rouge for so many years, and I've never met anyone who added ore into it, and the effect is so good. My boss really found a different way to make rouge. I'm ashamed of myself, little old man!" Wu Boke told Liu Cui sincerely admires her.

Uncle Wu has been immersed in the way of rouge for many years, not only is he highly skilled, he is also well-informed, knowing how crazy this woman can be for beauty.And I also know that Liu Cui's seemingly whimsical method has opened up a new path for the entire rouge industry. What a big impact this is!

Of course, following Liu Cui, Liu Cui eats meat and they can also drink soup, Uncle Wu's wages have increased again, and he can also participate in dividends.It seems that he has become Liu Cui's right-hand man and loyal supporter.

Hearing such praise from Uncle Wu, a master craftsman who has been making rouge all his life, Liu Cui...Liu Cui felt embarrassed. After all, he was a liberal arts student, and after all, he was a bit weak in invention and creation. This rouge Wu Bo's success is also half of the credit.

Liu Cui just stood on the shoulders of giants, put forward novel opinions and insights, and enjoyed the benefits of advanced technology in the 21st century.

and,

From Liu Cui's modern point of view, the rouge she made is really not good, the color is not correct, and the quality is not pure... It is safe to put it in future generations. People have to worry about allergies and other issues, the girls' faces are precious!

However, although the history of making rouge in this world is long, it can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. At that time, people twisted out the juice from flowers to dye themselves. Cui took advantage of the loophole.

In ancient times, the upgrading of production technology was so slow, and once there were innovations, most of them were regarded as the foundation of their own, and the secrets that were not passed on were strictly prevented from being leaked, and very few were passed on.

In the event of war, these precious skills are easily lost, annihilated in the long river of history, and not even a single wave can be found.

Besides, my rouge sold very well, so I made a lot of money, and my living index soared. Sure enough, science and technology are the primary productive forces.

At this moment, Liu Cui felt extremely comfortable.

After taking a bite of the crispy and crispy fried dim sum, Liu Cui's thoughts drifted away involuntarily, thinking about her next plan... I don't know if that is feasible.

The more Liu Cui thinks about it, the more uncertain she becomes...

never mind!Don't think about this for the time being, let's start it first, let me taste this rare delicacy even in modern times.It is said that this restaurant is run by the chef of the release palace.

Rounding up is equivalent to eating the delicacies that the emperor ate!Liu Cui suddenly felt arrogant.

This is probably a simple pleasure.Enjoy the food that ordinary college students in the 21st century cannot enjoy

After a while, the three of them finished their meal and admired the long queue downstairs for buying their own rouge, and then they were ready to go back to town. Before leaving, Liu Cui ordered a bunch of delicious dishes and snacks to pack back , Looking at the big and small bags that the dog struggled to carry, Liu Cui couldn't help sighing that she became more and more like a "mother", and she never forgot to think about her "daughter and grandchildren" when she went to the capital.

It's so sweet!

Not long after the three of Liu Cui left, the shopkeeper of Yixuan Pavilion came out, and made a group bow to everyone who was waiting: "I'm sorry, everyone, today the store has sold out 100 copies of this spring warm sun rouge. Please hurry up tomorrow, and you can come in to see the other rouges in this shop, they are all of the highest quality."

After queuing for such a long time, but still haven't bought the goods, everyone immediately scolded, but the shopkeeper didn't care, and just went into the back room cheerfully.Today's business is really hot! I made a lot of money!

At this time, a boy in the crowd saw that there was no hope of buying rouge, he sighed, turned and left.

Walking all the way to the Yanzi Hutong in the east of the city, the young servant turned around and walked to a mahogany gate, knocked on the door, and a young maid about fourteen or fifteen years old with a blushing complexion came to open the door.Through the servant girl, the boy saw that the door of the back room was closed tightly, and there were faint sounds of men and women mingling.The little servant looked at the servant girl and said with a low smile: "Sister Zi'er needs to get used to it, the second master is just in the right mood."

It turned out that Jia Lian was flirting with Second Sister You, and Second Sister You followed Jia Lian only a few days ago, and it was time for the two of them to have sex with each other.

The little servant didn't dare to go in, so he had to whisper to the servant girl, and the servant girl relayed the story. The servant girl gave the servant girl a blank look, but didn't agree, and just dragged the servant girl to wait outside the yard.The second master and second sister are still shouting in the house.

After a long time, this time when I heard Second Sister You calling for water, the boy waited until the inside was cleaned up before he dared to go in.

Jia Lian had promised her second sister Rouge before, but now that she can't buy it, she is ashamed. "Trash!" Jia Lian cursed, taking advantage of the situation and kicked the boy in the stomach again.Although Jia Lian was tall and powerful, he was always a little weak afterwards, so he didn't kick hard, but the boy fell to the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

Seeing the young servant's appearance, he remembered that this young servant was one of the few people in the house who were loyal to him. If he kicked himself, there would be not many people available. The servant retreated and asked him to line up early tomorrow to buy.He turned his head and licked his face again to coax Second Sister You.

The boy kowtowed and withdrew thankfully.

That night, Wang Xifeng found out about this matter. Wang Xifeng twisted the handkerchief and said bitterly: "Xiao Lang hoof, wait for grandma to free her hand, and see how I deal with you!"

At this time, the beautiful second sister You is still hanging out with Jia Lian.

It's late at night, I don't know how many people are still awake, what are they doing, what are they thinking...
