Travel back to ancient times to be a beautician

"Let me ask you, do you know how much the spices in Jiutian Pavilion cost?" Sunan asked.

Songzhu thought for a long time, and said with some uncertainty: "You bought it last time, but it was ten taels of silver?"

"That's right, last time I just bought spices for one knuckle, and it cost me more than ten taels of silver. This is just a fairly common type of spices in his family. I heard that if it is better, It takes hundreds of taels to buy it. Not to mention the incense collected by the Jiutian Pavilion, which is specially used by the royal family." When Sunan mentioned the Jiutian Pavilion, he also yearned for it in his words, and the incense was completely different from what Sunan learned.

Some techniques, which can be called ancient methods, have long been lost in later generations, and he doesn't know about them, so they can only be seen here.

"Just one scallop daisy imported from Persia costs ten gold, which is still in short supply. Even in the capital alone, there are also expensive secret face creams, hundreds of taels, of course. It's not expensive anymore," Sunan said.

Shochiku thought for a while, and seemed to feel that what his husband said made some sense.I thought to myself: Compared with this capital, the county I was in before was really a poor country, and my deed of sale was only ten taels of silver, which was not worth a box of foundation made by my husband.Sure enough, people compare with others, and it makes people mad.

Back in the Shiwai Pavilion, Sunan and Songzhu entered through the main entrance, but they didn't see Lin Jun. They had something to discuss with him. After asking the shop assistants, they found out that they took two of them out, probably in the afternoon. It's time to come back.

Anyway, since he had nothing to do, Sunan simply drove a carriage with Songzhu to the workshop. As soon as he entered the door, a man stopped his work and greeted him.

"Sir, why are you free to come over here today?" It was one of the buddies who came up to talk, named Shi Quan. Seeing that he was a little flexible before, Sunan asked him to be the manager here, and he was in charge of some livelihoods on weekdays. Arrange for supervision.

Sunan nodded, and came in from the southwest of the yard. Compared with when he just bought the workshop, this place is much more lively.In the courtyard in the middle, a lot of wooden shelves have been set up, the middle of which can accommodate two people to pass in the middle, the two sides are nearly six feet high, and there are three shelves respectively, all of which are hung with pink and white pancreas , this densely packed courtyard is filled with a unique fishy smell, and you will feel a little uncomfortable after staying for a long time.

Seeing that Sunan entered the drying rack, Shi Quan also followed behind, moved Sunan's nose slightly, his eyes felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly said: "This thing smells a little bad, and it has a bit of a fishy smell. Sir, let's take a look at it first." Get out, lest your clothes be stained with filth."

"No hurry, I came here this time just to take a look?" Sunan was just a bit of a clean freak and couldn't get used to the slight movement, but he still walked along the shelves, walked past a shelf, and said, "This thing is still Cut it first and then dry it, and the speed can be faster." Sunan looked at it carefully.

He walked to another shelf and smelled a special sheep smell on the tip of his nose, so he asked, "Is this sheep pancreas?"

"Yes, these two things are separated by Manager Lin on purpose." Shi Quancheng said fearfully.

"En." Sunan nodded, walked outside, and asked as he walked, "How to calculate the stored quantity and exposure time?"

"The villain only collected it once according to your request. Normally, it takes about seven days for a piece of pig pancreas to dry in the mud and dry in the sun. In autumn and winter, this speed can be shortened a little bit more." .”

Sunan came to the storage place, and the pig pancreas foam that had lost moisture was a little fluffy, lying in a clean cloth bag.I touched the pancreas foam that had almost been dehydrated with my hands, and my hands were a little slippery, so I nodded in satisfaction.

"Keep these things in a warm and dry environment, and be careful not to get dust or anything like that." Sunan instructed Shi Quan, who quickly responded.

Walked through the yard and came to another room.As soon as you walk in, it is a posture of enthusiasm.In the room, the tables are neatly arranged, and there is a large red and black vat on the innermost side. On the other side of the wall near the house, there are neatly arranged porcelain vats about two feet high, one after another. The altar looks quite magnificent.

On the tables on both sides, there are four people, one of them is holding a porcelain old man, the mouth of the porcelain old man is covered with a layer of fine silk cloth, a trickle of reddish-brown oil flows out of the fine cloth, and flows into the celadon auspicious cloud prepared in advance. Go in the textured bottle.

Seeing Sunan coming, several people inside were quite surprised, and wanted to stop their way of life to salute Sunan, but was stopped by Sunan. "You keep doing what you do, don't worry about me."

Sunan picked up one of the porcelain vases. It had a big belly and a thin neck, as elegant as a white goose with a slender neck. He poured out two wisps of sesame oil and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it carefully.

This is the hair oil, which is made of the best and most delicate real sesame oil, which is filled with spices such as clove, euphemum, and styrax. The spices are infiltrated into the real sesame oil, and then fresh gardenia and jasmine are collected. After soaking for ten days, Fish out the flowers with your hands, squeeze them tightly, and squeeze out the oil.After another filter, it is a fragrant hair oil.

This oily flower is full of fragrance, rich and strong, and is most loved by some girls.

Hair oils are used in almost every household, but although those hair oils with floral fragrance are popular with some girls, they are not favored by some men.

Take ten clematis stalks, two cypress leaves, three tooth soap stalks, twenty black petunias, and one piece of cork bark.File it into foam with a fine file, put it in a silk bag, put it in a jar, and soak it in real sesame oil.After filtering, it becomes the cleansing temples Weixian oil.Comb your hair with this oil, and for those who are unbearable to comb like a felt knot on the sideburns, immediately comb it.

Standing by the side, Shi Quan's eyes showed admiration, and said: "Mr.'s hair oil is all soaked with the best real sesame oil. I don't know how much better than the ordinary ordinary hair oil. Compared with certain It's going to be a big hit."

Sunan shook his head, but he was still a little dissatisfied. If it is the best base oil, it is better to use tea seed oil as the base oil, which is even better than this real sesame oil.It's just that the tea seeds are not found near the capital, so I must go to the south of the Yangtze River to find them.

In another yard, there is a special grinding room. There are about three or four people in it, grinding some needed raw materials. On the other side, two people are putting the prepared bath beans into suitable containers.

There are hundreds of exquisitely shaped wooden boxes piled up next to them. They are exquisitely carved and painted with patterns such as auspicious clouds and peonies. From the outside, they look noble and generous, and they contain bath bean powder one after another.

There is also the so-called face cream, which is also some ancient secret recipes copied by Southern Jiangsu combined with some characteristics of modern cosmetics.

It's just that the facial fat is mostly animal fats such as sheep oil that can solidify, and when you wipe it on your face, it's okay in winter, but it looks a bit greasy in summer.

Unlike modern times, skin care products are divided into facial cleanser, mask, moisturizing water, nourishing water, lotion, moisturizing cream, etc. These are only for the face. If you want to count the body, you need to add body lotion, depending on the effect , but also divided into acne, whitening, dilute fine lines.It can also be divided into winter use and summer use.

Sunan sighed, he really couldn't turn back on this road.

On the surface, he was a little more serious, and said to Shi Quan: "In the past few days, you have told everyone to be careful. If it is ordinary goods, such as jasmine hair oil, you must stock at least a thousand pieces. If it is some high-quality goods, such as that Bai Yufang and other precious bath beans have to store at least a hundred or more items."

Sunan thought very well. For Shiwai Pavilion, it would take at least a month or so to sell more than a thousand pieces of goods. If the market is good, it would not be too late to hurry up and produce.

Shi Quan nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, sir, everything has been prepared according to your instructions."

After inspecting the workshop, it was already afternoon, so I just walked around the yard casually, and it took an hour.

At this time, the sun has reached the west, and the blue sky is like washing. Occasionally, there are a few thin clouds floating in the blue sky, which are as transparent as silk. People come and go on the street, which is the busiest time.

Songzhu stopped while walking, the vegetables are the cheapest at sunset, so Songzhu picked some and went back to cook.

There was a warm smile on the corner of Sunan's mouth, and his eyes seemed to reveal a nostalgic look, like the life here is fulfilling now, and it's not bad to be busy.

After picking out the dishes, Songzhu walked towards Sunan with his things in his arms, and proudly said, "Sir, these mushrooms can be fresh, and they are cheap to buy. I will fry them for you when I get back."

"Not bad, not bad," Sunan smiled approvingly, "Songzhu is becoming more and more good at housekeeping now."

After being praised by Sunan, Songzhu became more and more proud. He put the vegetables he bought in the carriage, waved his arms, whipped the whip, and drove the carriage towards home with a sound of "drive".

When Sunan came back, he happened to see Lin Jun at the door, wearing a blue silk shirt, with a jade button with auspicious pattern pinned to his waist, and his hair was tied with a wooden hairpin.His back straightened, like a sharp sword stabbing into the ground obliquely, his eyes drifted, and he stared blankly at the street in front of him.

Sunan had just lifted his foot a few steps, but Lin Jun shot his eyes straight over. Looking at Sunan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Are you back?" Lin Jun looked at Sunan and asked.

Sunan froze for a moment, nodded, and also returned a bright smile.

Stepping into Shiwai Pavilion together with Lin Jun, the two of them didn't stay too long in the store, but came directly to the backyard.There was a set of stone chairs and benches under the tree, and Sunan didn't care too much, so he sat on it.

Lin Jun also sat down, looked at Sunan, and said, "I heard from the guy in the store that you are looking for me?"

"Yes, I went to the workshop before, looked at their progress, and thought that the new cosmetics will be sold after a while." Sunan looked at him and said.

Lin Jun thought for a while, and then he spoke in a calm voice: "You used most of the cash in the store to make these things, but what if..." The rest of the words were not spoken, but there was still something in the words. Wei Wei reveals her worry.

Sunan smiled, he understood that Lin Jun's worry was not unreasonable, "I know that the store was smashed some time ago, and I lost a lot, and I spent a lot on the workshop I bought. There is not much money left in the middle.”

If Sunan's products are sold well, naturally I won't talk about them, but if they don't sell well, they will have to live a tight life for a while.

"Let's not talk about this first, wait a moment, I will show you something for a while." After saying this, Sunan got up and walked into the house. After a cup of tea, he held a thin book in his hand. book, and in the other hand was holding a writing brush, which had been stained with ink.

"These are some big customers of Shiwai Pavilion, you should take a look first." Sunan sat next to Lin Jun, opened the brochure, and pointed it out to him.

The author has something to say: In fact, I personally think that remembering many palace formulas is a big golden finger in itself.
