Travel back to ancient times to be a beautician

At night, in the dead of night, the moonlight was like water, and the silver light spread on the ground outside the window, but it couldn't spread into Sunan's heart.

In the backyard of Shiwai Pavilion, in the study room, two bright lamps were placed at both ends of the table, making the room as bright as daylight. Sunan sat behind the table, and the abacus in his hand was crackling.Songzhu stood beside him, grinding ink for Sunan, looking at what Sunan was doing.

"What the hell." After a while, Sunan suddenly erupted, roaring angrily, almost smashing the abacus.

Sunan glared at the abacus, this thing is really difficult to play, after dialing for a long time, it is not as fast as hand counting, usually just pretending to be aggressive, after dialing for such a long time, his hands are sore.

Thinking of this, he put the abacus aside, started to calculate with the simplest decimal algorithm with a brush, took out a new account book, and started to recalculate according to the bookkeeping rules of later generations.

Songzhu was stunned watching from the side, but seeing that his husband was obviously angry, he didn't dare to ask him why he was drawing peach charms, so he could only stand quietly and watch the tea.

After two incense sticks like this, Sunan finally sorted out all the things, looked at the account book with a heavy face, and said, "This time, we lost more than 200 taels worth of goods."

Hearing this, Songzhu finally stopped caring about what Sunan painted, and stared at her eyes, which were covered with tears.

"What Mr. said is true, then, what should we do in Shiwai Pavilion?" Songzhu was tearful, thinking about why those people came to smash the shop, he felt quite aggrieved. "Then Wei Guogong is in a high position, why should he care about businessmen like us."

Sunan thought for a while, and said: "It's not necessarily that Wei Guogong did it. Even if we are angry with us because of his sister, it doesn't have to be done in this way. Maybe it's someone else who blamed us."

Songzhu opened his eyes wide, and said, "Could it be that someone framed him?"

Sunan was a little melancholy, and he didn't know what was going on with this matter. He went to the Yamen with Songzhu in the afternoon to surrender. He heard that those culprits were habitual offenders, and they were caught within a short distance.He insisted that he and Sunan had a grievance, and he was too angry to retaliate, so he refused to mention Wei Guogong's affairs. The governor could only take him into custody first, and try again at another day.

If it was really Duke Wei who found someone to do it, then he...he just endured it.

Cough cough, don't blame him for having no backbone at all, he is a hereditary Duke of the country, and every generation of descendants can inherit the Duke, a nobleman who does not degrade his title.He is just a common man, what can he do?

Moreover, according to preliminary estimates, the cost price is nearly 100 taels, which is exactly equal to the money he earned from Miss Gu's family. Could it be that there is God's will in the dark, and I have to give out as much as I got in the first place?

However, if it wasn't for Wei Guogong's actions...

Hehe, Sunan sneered twice. "If it was done by Duke Wei, I will not pursue the matter, but if it was done by other people with ulterior motives, I will have to pay back ten times as much as I have lost."

But... Sunan looked at the records on the ledger, his eyes changed for a second, and he lay on the ledger mournfully and wailed: "My money, my money, why did you abandon me!! "

Songzhu murmured to the side: "I originally wanted to open a workshop, but now it seems that it is not very realistic."

Sunan got up all of a sudden, and said plausibly: "Why don't you open it, why not open it? I've calculated it. With the remaining money, we not only need to open workshops, but also recruit soldiers and horses."

This is what Sunan has already calculated. Now there are 450 taels of silver left in the account book. Excluding the newly purchased materials and workshops, there are still more than 200 taels of surplus, which can be used to buy some manpower.

Now there are only three domestic servants in my house, including Shochiku, there are four. I usually do things by myself, and the servants at home help me.If you hire some people, you can free up your own hands to develop some new products and open up the market.What's more, for such a big shop, I still need to hire a person who is in charge of it.

What's more, today's incident gave Sunan a warning that there are not enough people in the store. If such a group of local hooligans really came to smash the store again, they would still not be enough.

"Songzhu, I will write a recruitment notice, and you will leave it outside the door tomorrow." Sunan made up his mind to hire a supervisor.

"Okay, sir." Shochiku responded quickly.

Early the next morning, Shochiku posted the written notice outside the door, with a monthly salary of three taels, a year-end bonus, food and lodging, and experience.Because the furniture was smashed, Sunan couldn't open the business today, and could only open the business after repurchasing the furniture.

Sunan sat at home, looking at the many formulas he copied, all of which he selected were beauty formulas that were more in line with the characteristics of the Zhou Dynasty.

One of the things he particularly wanted to make was soap.

At this time, acacia is very common. Not only is the price low, but it is also very easy to use. Take out the acacia seeds and dry them, and then grind them into powder. They are very useful for washing, removing dirt, etc., but the only disadvantage is the smell. Too bad.

Ordinary people's acacia is just finely ground into powder, just use a little when washing clothes.Some wealthy families will also add some spices.

If the acacia is used to change clothes, another thing is to find a very popular face-washing product in the Zhou Dynasty-bath beans.

Before the Zhou Dynasty, bath beans were produced, and they were regarded as beauty treasures for a while. Bath beans are a kind of powder for washing and nourishing the skin. It is mainly made of soybean powder and mixed with various medicines.The main effect of bath beans is to make the skin smooth and moist and prevent skin diseases.Use it in the shower to scrub the skin for better results.

Among them, in the store in Sunan, there are also several flavors of bath beans, which are selling well.However, Sunan once visited most of the powder shops in the capital, and they all sold several kinds of bath bean recipes, which were easy to use, but they were not innovative.Maybe there is another formula in the palace, but the precious and complicated bath bean formula is not common at all.

There are many secret bath bean recipes here in Sunan, which have been accumulated for thousands of years in his dynasty, and many of them are reserved for the royal family.

In fact, this soap, also known as pancreas in ancient times, evolved from the processing of bath beans, but at this time, it seems that it has not yet appeared, and Sunan just took advantage of it.

Although in the future, there are many skin care products and cosmetics, but in ancient times, there were also many beauty products.

Sunan sighed, when he has time, he must develop a set of beauty products, from the hair to the soles of the feet, and develop a set of products for the whole body.

The day passed by like this, and during the period, one or two people came to ask about the shopkeeper.But after careful inquiry, I felt that it was not so suitable, and in the evening, I couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Sunan was not in a hurry. During the period, he made some more goods in the backyard, plus the rest in the warehouse, it was enough for the opening.In the afternoon, Songzhu and a few servants came back and put away all the purchased furnishings. Compared with the previous layout, there was almost no change.

Anyway, there is no business today, so Sunan plans to close early to rest.But not long after, a person walked in from outside the door. Without looking up, Sunan opened his mouth and blurted out what he had said countless times, saying:

"Our store has adjusted its business today and does not sell anything. If you need anything, please come back tomorrow."

The man raised his eyebrows, not in embarrassment, but walked to Sunan's counter and said aloud, "Mr. Su."

Sunan was a little puzzled when he heard the name. Generally, people who knew him would not call him that, so he looked up in surprise.

Isn't this the benefactor who helped him get the three liang of silver back last time?The look of astonishment faded away, a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes, he walked out from behind the counter enthusiastically, came to the man, bowed his hands and said: "This... benefactor, it is such a coincidence to meet in the shop today. .”

The man's clothes today seem to be a little worse than last time. He is only wearing a gray cotton shirt, and his hair crown is simply tied up, but he still looks radiant.

"Su doesn't know the name of his benefactor yet." Sunan looked at the man with a smile.

There seemed to be embarrassment on the man's face, he cupped his hands, and said, "I'm the one who was abrupt, I'm going to Lin Jun, it's... I've been working in the pass before."

Sunan was a little surprised. Guannei was already in the north. From the geographical division of the Zhou Dynasty, it was relatively close to the Turks and other nomadic peoples. In recent years, the Turks and other tribes have been a serious problem for the Zhou Dynasty. They have fought several times. Recently, The first time was a year ago, about the same time as Sunan came, and I heard that it was a big victory.

But these all flashed in my mind, Su Nan said with a smile: "So it's Brother Lin, if you don't dislike it today, you can stay here with me, I will ask the boy to get some side dishes, Su should thank Lin Brother's life-saving grace."

With that said, he asked Songzhu to come out and introduced Lin Jun's identity to him.

"This is the martial arts master I told you about last time. You go and prepare wine and food, and pack a guest room for Mr. Lin to stay overnight."

Shochiku quickly responded.

Hearing Sunan praise him so much, Lin Jun blushed a little, and seemed a little shy. "It's hard to say the grace of saving lives, it's just that the road is rough, Mr. Su doesn't have to talk about it all the time."

Sunan smiled enthusiastically, and waved his hands again and again to say where.

"Actually, I happened to see Mr. Su's notice outside the shop when I passed by this time, and I wanted to hire a manager, so I decided to come in for a try." Lin Jun hesitated, and said the reason for his visit.

Hearing what Lin Jun said, Sunan suddenly realized, thinking that Lin Jun came here to walk around the streets because he declared himself his family last time.

"Brother Lin actually wants to stay here for a long time? Didn't I hear Brother Lin say last time that it hasn't been too long in the capital?" Sunan was a little puzzled.

Lin Jun blushed, and replied: "I am indeed from the capital, and I come back once in a while. This time, I plan to live in the capital for a long time..." Then he hesitated for a moment, and continued: "If there is nothing else important, I should I won’t be going inside the pass again.”

Sunan quickly skipped everything he said. From his point of view, Lin Jun might have gone to the customs to do business before, but after going back and forth a few times, he still felt that the prosperous capital was better than being in the customs, so he returned to his hometown. Thinking, it's understandable.

Sunan secretly sized up Lin Jun. He was a muscular man. Although he was only wearing an ordinary cotton shirt, he couldn't hide his muscular body. Uncommonly heroic and handsome, it was too much for his taste.

To say he is superficial is to say that he is superficial. Seeing Lin Junchang's good looks, his affection for him has increased a bit, and he made up his mind to let him stay.

But the procedures on the surface still have to go.

"Then Su will ask a few questions. The first question, brother Lin, has any experience in managing a shop or workshop?"

"No." Lin Jun thought, hesitated, but still shook his head and admitted.

The author has something to say: more than 200 taels is nothing, and you can earn it back in minutes.
