Entrepreneurship in a different world
Chapter 94 Simple Eyebrow Powder
The teenagers went to the front to lead the way, leaving Wen Rong behind alone. He looked at the backs of them, and at the same time, he was analyzing quickly in his mind.
Not everyone here is fast and powerful.
Ah Tu's strength is average, about the same as his, but his speed is extremely fast, and Ah Mai's strength is not small at a young age, but her footsteps are a little faster than her own, just like this female wrestler, her foot speed It was very ordinary, and among the several teenagers who came with him, there was also one with average strength and speed, just like the migrant workers he had seen outside the 'Nishia City'.
It seems that not everyone here is 'naturally special'.
He has even seen the birth of eggs and the scene of Dabao catching monsters to eat at night, so Wen Rong naturally accepted this new idea.
Regardless of whether some people here have any special abilities, aren't everyone here trying to survive and live in peace?
Kajia easily moved the one-ton large water tank to the kitchen in the backyard, looked around, and when she saw Grandma Joan and the children all over the backyard, she lowered her eyebrows slightly, "They are big oil The child in the barrel."
"Yes! I need helpers, so I asked them to help with things and take care of the food." There is no need to hide this kind of thing, Wen Rong made it clear.
Kajia cast a cold glance at Grandma Joan, who had been avoiding her eyes since she came in, and said, "You have to be careful with some of them. They have kind faces and evil hearts, but don't let yourself be fooled."
Melancholy speechless.The people here speak very directly. Moreover, since she came in, she has been staring at Grandma Joan from time to time. When she said this, her expression and tone were also eccentric. He really couldn't help but think too much.
"Katya..." Grandma Joan glanced back at her now, trying to say something, but couldn't get it out of her mouth.
Kajia snorted and ignored her, and stretched out her hand towards Wen Rong, "Money!"
Wen Rong gave her ten copper coins, and the other party returned her ten copper coins.After the accounts were clear, she left, and she didn't intend to go to the front 'Dash Room' to inquire.
After she left, Grandma Joan murmured, "She also lived in a big oil tank before."
guessed.Wen Rong responded in his heart.
"She was smart and active since she was a child. In addition to working, she also learned to read from Master Bai. She was the first child in our place to learn to read."
Very self-motivated!
"Later, when she was old enough, she took the administrator qualification test and passed it once. We were all happy for him. But to become an administrator, she had to leave J and K districts to live alone. She was unwilling..." Grandma Qiong said here with a face There was a bitter smile on his face.
"Grandma drove Sister Kajia away." Cai Yi spoke in place of Grandma Qiong, "Grandma also did it for her own good. She was the first one to be admitted as an administrator in our place. That's a solid job!"
Wen Rong can understand.As the head of the big oil barrel children, Grandma Qiong is both their grandmother and their mother. Like ordinary mothers, she cares about the future of her children, hoping that they can grow up smoothly and have their own lives, instead of being bullied all their lives. Barrels trapped, trapped by themselves and their unrelated children inside.
Many grown-up children of the big oil barrel were driven away in this way, and many left on their own initiative.Leaving is not "heartless". Adult children understand that although they can take care of them for a period of time, they are also adding to their burden invisibly.
It's just that some children like Katya who were driven away by force will have some lumps in their hearts when they grow up.
"I think what she understands in her heart is that her mouth is hard." Seeing that the atmosphere is not very good, Wen Rong quickly frowned, "The water is back, let's make cakes quickly. I'm not busy now, so I can help you."
"Brother Wen, why do you want to compete with us for a job? You can go about your business." Caiyi said and pushed Wen Rong out of the kitchen.
Standing in the backyard, Wen Rong really didn't think of what else he could do.He saw the little girls who took care of the babies draw on the ground with the broken bricks they picked up, and slapped himself on the forehead.How could he forget about that.
When he came to the city for the first time, he thought about making some other small objects, enriching the supply, and bought the raw materials back. He was so busy these days that he forgot about it.
He remembered that the dozen or so boxes of matches he bought back were left at Ahe's house, and they were put together with the paper he bought at that time, and they had just been transported here together.
Wen Rong ran back to the 'Datong Room' and searched for a while among the raw materials they carried, and Wen Rong found the dozen boxes of matches.
The quality of these matches is relatively good, unlike ordinary matches with one pith coin and one box, the price of this one box is worth three boxes of ordinary matches. In addition to the difference in the combustion enhancer on the top of the match, the matchsticks are also very different.Inexpensive regular matchsticks are made of paper, while good quality matchsticks are made of pine, poplar, or walnut.
These high-quality matches that Wen Rong bought are all good walnut wood.
He disassembled all the matches, cut off the match heads with scissors, and kept only the matchsticks below. He put these matchsticks on the fire and baked them slowly, turning them over from time to time until the matchsticks were carbonized. The final wooden stick powder is collected, crushed finely, mixed with some oil to make it semi-wet, and then pressed into a cake with a diameter of two centimeters and a thickness of half a centimeter, and then dried over a low fire.
A small piece of simple eyebrow powder gradually took shape under his hands.
Using matchsticks to make eyebrow powder is a record he has seen in a famous lady's personal memoirs before. Here, you must choose better quality matchsticks. In addition to being more suitable for wood, it is more convenient for firewood. Thoroughly carbonized.Such carbonized powder was used as eyebrow powder to draw eyebrows. It was a 'beautiful cosmetic' invented by women who could not afford eyebrow cream at that time.
He added colorless and odorless oil for blending, and after pressing and molding, he baked it to extend the shelf life and fix the color.
These dozens of pieces of eyebrow powder made at one time, due to the lack of abrasive tools, are manually fixed to determine the size, resulting in these being a little bigger, some thicker, and the specifications are inconsistent. It seems that we need to get a mold out later. .
"A Miao, come here!" Wen Rong looked up and looked around, everyone was busy in their respective work areas, A Miao and Dabao were also doing grinding work beside Ah He, closest to him.Wen Rong decided to grab one with light eyebrows and come over to try it out.
When Dabao heard his father call A Miao, he pursed his mouth, put down the things in his hands and ran over first, "Dad, Dad!" Dad, do you want to help?Dabao can do it!
Wen Rong took a closer look at Dabao's eyebrows, "Well, Dabao has a lot of eyebrows, so he doesn't need thrush."
A Miao ran over joltingly, tilted her head happily and looked at Wen Rong, waiting for his order.
Wen Rong looked at the lump of eyebrow powder in his hand, suffering from lack of hand tools.This thing needs to be brushed on the face with a small brush. You can't use your fingers to apply it like dyeing your lips.
Ah He has noticed that Wen Rong is making something new since just now, and now he leans over curiously, "Brother Wen, what is this?"
"Brow powder."
"I know, is it used to draw eyebrows?" Ah He can already understand the literal meaning, just like lip paper is used to draw lips, so eyebrow powder must be used to draw eyebrows.
"Ahe, is there a small brush...the kind that can dip these eyebrow powders and apply them on the eyebrows." After Wen Rong asked this sentence, he felt that this was a superfluous question.Where can there be such a fine thing here?
As expected, Ah He shook his head, "Is it okay to use cotton swabs?" The young man tried his best to help find a way, "When I was working in the manor, I saw that wounded people would use cotton swabs to wipe their wounds..." He said and wiped The action of smearing is very similar to the action of smearing on the eyebrows that Brother Wen said.
Wen Rong thought about it, and it was a solution.
"Is there anywhere I can get cotton swabs here?" It's always a matter of trying.
"There are 'infirmary'." Ah He looked serious, "I'll go get two back."
A new place was unlocked from Ah He's mouth - the infirmary, Wen Rong was not surprised.People here can also get sick, and there is an infirmary, which is also normal.
Wen Rong gave him a few marrow coins, "If you can't find it, buy some."
Knowing that the people here are poor and everything can be treasured, afraid that Ah He would get a bad look if he went to ask others for things, Wen Rong gave him another solution in advance.
Ah He temporarily put down his work and ran out.
He ran back half an hour later, holding a pack of unopened cotton swabs in his hand, and handed it to Wen Rong, "The doctor refused to give it to me, so I bought a pack for four marrow coins. Originally, he wanted five marrow swabs." Coins, I haggled the price!"
Speaking of bargaining, Ah He puffed up his chest.He is now more daring in haggling with others than before.
Wen Rong praised him a few words, took out a cotton swab and tried to get some eyebrow powder. With a little force, he could get some eyebrow powder. He brought A Miao's small head in front of his eyes, and carefully filled it up for A Miao. Eyebrow color to come.
Both Ah Miao and Ah He belong to the kind of physique with light eyebrows. They have their own eyebrow shapes, and they only need to draw and fill them according to his own eyebrow shape.
Ah He watched seriously from the side, at first she didn't think there was anything special about drawing eyebrows, but when both eyebrows were drawn, Ah Miao turned to him and couldn't help sighing, "It's beautiful! "
Wen Rong looked left and right by himself, and was satisfied with the effect.
It's a pity that he couldn't find bamboo charcoal powder, Qingdai powder, beeswax and other materials, otherwise he could make the ancient eyebrow cream.This simple version of eyebrow powder was the best way he could think of using all the materials he could find around him. He even admired himself a little for being able to make this kind of thing under the current conditions.
"A Miao has eyebrows!" Wen Rong patted the little thing on the head, "One spirited guy!"
This 'spiritual guy' can be referred to as the one who really looks energetic.
A Miao stretched out her face in front of Dabao to show him, "Ah!" The little thing touched his eyebrows with his hands.
"Don't touch it with your hands, it will fall off, and it won't look good if it falls off." Wen Rong teased him, "We might as well rub this thing with water."
Dabao was a little envious, threw himself into Wen Rong's arms, pointed at his brow, "Draw, draw!"
"Dabao has eyebrows and doesn't need to be painted."
"Draw!" Dabao twisted his neck in displeasure, "Yes!"
For children, sometimes they just want to have it when they see others have it.
Wen Rong took the cotton swab just now and fiddled with his eyebrows twice, "Okay!"
Dabao happily followed A Miao to 'show off' to the others.
Not everyone here is fast and powerful.
Ah Tu's strength is average, about the same as his, but his speed is extremely fast, and Ah Mai's strength is not small at a young age, but her footsteps are a little faster than her own, just like this female wrestler, her foot speed It was very ordinary, and among the several teenagers who came with him, there was also one with average strength and speed, just like the migrant workers he had seen outside the 'Nishia City'.
