Chapter 86 Selling Eyebrow Pencils

In the capital city, it seemed that overnight, a trend of drawing eyebrows broke out.The female relatives of the family suddenly became inexplicably interested in something, but within ten days, there was a kind of eyebrow thrush tool called Xiaomeidai, which became popular in the capital.If the women of every family, especially the wives of the nobles in the capital, don't know about this thing called Xiao Mei Dai, it would be a shame.

What is this little eyebrow?Xia Xueyao showed a proud face, and took out a small one from her dressing box.This little Meidai is indeed very small, only half the size of a finger, the opening is removed in front, and what comes into view is a short piece of black Daisy stone, which she gave to the person next to her like a treasure, and said with great interest:

"Xueping, you must try this thing. I got it from Sunan. Using this thing to thrush your eyebrows is better than Persian snails. You can just apply it directly on your eyebrows without grinding or sticking. Water." While talking, Xia Xueyao tried Xiaomeidai on her hands, and it was as she said, just gently rubbing it on her hands, and it could clearly leave faint traces.

In her makeup box, there are a total of six or seven colors of the latest models, dark green, dark yellow, black, and brown, all of which she obtained from Sunan.Otherwise, it would have been hired by some female relatives long ago, where would it be her turn?

The maid who came in from the side put two white porcelain jars on a plate in her hands, put them on the table, opened them, and a thick aroma wafted out immediately, making the eyes of the person next to him brighten up suddenly, as if a hungry wolf saw Like fat.

The maid carrying the dessert was trembling all over, terrified in her heart, she forced herself to put the things in her hand on the table, and stood aside in a hurry.Secretly began to inquire about this person in the lady's house.

The woman sitting next to Xia Xueyao, let's just call it a woman.She is about seven feet tall and has a huge body. Compared with Xia Xueyao sitting next to her, she is three times as wide as her. The clothes on her body tightly frame her huge body, and her waist is fat.

Besides, that face was full of fat, the fat on the cheeks drooped down, the pair of eyes were particularly bright, coupled with the dazzling aura flashing in them, almost everyone who looked at her felt lingering fear.

The maid in the room hangs down and does not dare to raise her head. This person has a special status. He is almost half master in the Xia Mansion. He is Wei Guogong's righteous sister, Xia Xueyao's righteous sister, a famous female general in the Great Zhou Dynasty, General Huaihualang. Xueping.

Speaking of Zhan Xueping, she is quite a legendary woman.Although the Great Zhou Dynasty had a female official system, it seemed transparent. Most of the female officials were in charge of the harem. On the battlefield, Zhan Xueping was the only one.

I heard that this General Zhan got the true biography of his adoptive father Wei Guogong back then. His martial arts skills are so strong that he is not inferior to his righteous brother at all. Even in fighting and killing the enemy on the battlefield, he is not inferior to any male general. He is especially ruthless in his attacks. Together with Xia Xiuxin, they are called Guannei Shuangsha.

Although she is a woman, Zhan Xueping's appearance is different from other men except for her breasts, and she doesn't look like a woman at all.And that face...is too long to look at.

The maid thought sympathetically in her heart, although it is her own family, it is not good for her to slander her, but... if she grows up to look like General Zhan, if she can find a gentleman, then God must be blind.

It's no wonder why the Holy Majesty refused his general's marriage proposal at the beginning, and the honor of General Zhan... just don't say it.

Seeing that Zhan Xueping didn't listen to her, Xia Xueyao put all her eyes on the freshly boiled bird's nest with rock sugar, and hurriedly stopped her: "Xueping, I told you in the seventies, you can't eat any more...." As she spoke, Zhan Xueping directly picked up the white porcelain jar and poured it into her mouth while she was stunned. When she took it out, it was already empty.

Before she could react, the two cups of rock sugar bird's nest were already empty, and Zhan Xueping wiped her mouth contentedly, very rough. "Okay, I won't eat." Xia Xueyao looked at her blankly, the corners of her eyes twitched, and she was speechless.

He secretly looked at Zhan Xueping and frowned, why did he feel that she was fatter than what he saw before?Looking at the overall appearance of my step-sister, with no expression on her face and flesh all over her face, it makes people feel fearful and powerless.

Xia Xueyao thought in despair, now, she can only pin her hope on Sunan.

As for Sunan, he was leisurely staying in his room, with a row of small eyebrows in the box at hand. Sunan took out one of them, bent down, and concentrated on drawing Lin Jun's eyebrows.

A good and handsome man, with his eyes closed tightly, he looked at death as if at home, and let Sunan do things on his face, which made Sunan very upset.

It's not a big deal, as for this?Songzhu was holding a little Meidai beside him, but he was extremely curious, and asked, "Sir, is this the legendary Luodai?"

Sunan's smile deepened, and he explained: "This is not a snail, it's just a little eyebrow made by imitating a snail."

Luo Dai is so famous and worth thousands of gold. The method and craft of making it have long been lost in later generations. There are rumors that it uses a kind of precious fuel produced in Post, which has always been very popular in the Zhou Dynasty.What Sunan made is more like the eyebrow pencil that has been popularized in later generations. The main raw materials are made of paraffin wax and petrolatum.The reason why luodai was so famous in the Zhou Dynasty was that, on the one hand, the output was scarce, and most of it was monopolized by the upper classes;

The Xiaomeidai made by Sunan is similar to Luodai in appearance, but it is simpler to use. You only need to remove the cap and draw the eyebrows directly.

As for making such a thing, Sunan has actually thought about it for a long time. The production method of Xiaomei Dai is relatively simple but more complicated. It is said to be simple because the relevant raw materials are easy to gather, but the production method requires a certain process.After the last time, Sunan had already beaten the workers in the workshop and strengthened the management.I believe that this will not happen in a short time.

And what he didn't expect was that this little Meidai was so popular in ancient times, which he didn't expect.Although there is some storage, and the price is not cheap, it is still sold out in an instant. The supply is completely in short supply, and it is more popular than anything in the store.

After careful consideration, he could only find a reason for himself.Most people in the Zhou Dynasty, no matter men or women, had extraordinary obsession with their eyebrows. Women pay attention to the crescent moon of Emei, and men pay attention to the beauty of thick eyebrows. You can get a glimpse of it from the sales of eyebrows in the store. Originally stored [-] days of delivery, but sold out within two days.The guys in the workshop had to increase production.

In fact, Sunan's speculation has some truth, and there is another thing, that is, Shiwai Pavilion's Xiaomei Dai is not inferior to Luo Dai, although the color may be slightly different, but it is more convenient to use.Besides, Xiao Mei Dai is cheap, but Luo Dai is much more expensive. It costs dozens of times less money to buy something worth a hundred taels, isn't it worth it?

Besides, Luodai has been in the Central Plains for so long, although some people have tried to imitate them, but there are so many different types, and there are no suitable ones. The Xiaomeidai made by Sunan is the most similar one.Even if outsiders want to imitate it, it will take a while. In just a few days, two bosses came over and said they wanted to buy on a large scale and sell it to other regions in the Zhou Dynasty.

Sunan smiled, but said that there are not enough for sale in the store now, so he can only reluctantly refuse for the time being.

"A few days ago, Mr. Zhao was still telling me that he felt that the shops and workshops were too small, and he wanted to buy more." Lin Jun suddenly opened his eyes, with a little tenderness in them, and looked at Sunan who was working hard in front of him.

"Well, I know, he told me too, and I have ordered him to inquire to see if there is any suitable one nearby." All Sunan's attention was on Lin Jun's face, and it didn't take long after he said this, Sunan breathed a sigh of relief and stopped writing.Lin Jun's sword-shaped eyebrows are regular, and some miscellaneous hairs are all shaved off. The eyebrows are very beautiful, and the lines of the whole face appear to be a bit thicker, heroic yet masculine.

Lin Jun was not used to his fine eyebrows being tightly frowned. He looked at himself in the mirror awkwardly, and said, "I always feel that men have thick eyebrows." Sunan said indifferently, "That man still has eyebrows How about applying red lipstick and rouge gouache, why don’t you try it?” After feeling a chill, Lin Jun said angrily, “That’s unnecessary.”

In fact, Sunan had no choice but to make this thing. Aso's distiller and separator have not yet been made, and it is inconvenient to make something that is more difficult and more technical.After several selections, I can only choose this temporarily, but fortunately, the effect is good.

I can even imagine how dark and blue shopkeeper Jia's face would be when he saw that Shiwai Pavilion's door was bustling and business was booming.

Haha, I guess it must be very exciting.

There was a knife hidden in his smile, but he still had a pure and innocent look on his face. Lin Jun looked at his face from the side, his eyes were doting but helpless.

He happened to make an appointment with Lin Jun today to meet someone together.After a brief tidying up, the two of them took a carriage to the Xia Mansion, walked to the wide, narrow and deep corridor, walked through the beautiful courtyard, and looked at the familiar courtyard. Sunan knew that this was the small courtyard where Xia Xueyao lived.

Seeing that Lin Jun's expression was a little unnatural, he didn't take it seriously, took a step forward, and stepped into the door by himself.There is a main hall in the yard, and the main hall is empty. The faint voice of voice comes from the side hall next door, and there is a screen made of gauze in the middle.

Shadowy, two figures could be seen. Sunan stood for a while, remained silent for a moment, did not make a sound, turned and exited directly, was grabbed by Lin Jun who was following closely behind, stopped, and asked in surprise: " How did you go?"

Sunan looked at him sadly and resentfully, as if blaming him, making Lin Jun look a little unnatural. "You...why are you looking at me like that?"

Sunan looked at the figures of the two people in the room. He was light-handed just now, and he didn't know if he had attracted the attention of the people in the room. When he spoke in a low voice, there was a tremor in his tone: "I think, I shouldn't be able to finish you this time. What happened." Sunan said guiltily.
