Travel back to ancient times to be a beautician

Lin Jun soon stayed in Shiwai Pavilion.

At the beginning, Sunan was still teaching Lin Jun, such as how to display the goods, which beauty products and cosmetics are the most popular with customers, what are the characteristics of each, how to keep accounts, and so on.

But later, Sunan discovered that Lin Jun was not ignorant as he said, but also had a solid foundation. Maybe it was because he was smart that he knew everything.Soon, the business in the store will be taken over.

Sunan told Lin Jun about his plan. Hearing that he wanted to buy a workshop, Lin Jun thought for a moment and decided that the two of them should find a time to visit.

So, after a few more days, the two followed Songzhu to the clay workshop they had introduced.

It was a broker who led the three of them to see the land, also known as Yaren, who was an intermediary in charge of the house transaction.In the Zhou Dynasty, according to the law, the sale of houses must be registered in the hands of brokers, otherwise it is considered illegal.

The reason is that in the previous dynasty, the tax laws were strict, and the country needs to collect tax laws for house sales. If you buy and sell houses and real estate privately, once you are reported, you will be punished with ten sticks for the light ones, and twenty for the heavy ones.Later, when the dynasty changed, these strict tax laws followed.

The broker was an uncle in his 30s who looked kind and led the three of them to the clay workshop.The workshop is located in the east of the city. If you take a carriage with Sunan's shop, it will take about a stick of incense, which is not too much.

There are some low tile-roofed houses around here, unlike the bustling streets in the south and north of the city, where there are rows of shops and houses, but it is still small and orderly, square and square.

This area in the east of the city can be regarded as a slum area. The houses are low, but they are still neat and tidy.The workshop mentioned by the broker was not on the main road, so I turned three times and entered a small street that could accommodate two carriages in parallel before I could enter.

Sunan looked around and found that this workshop did not occupy a large area, just like what the person said, only more than 20 acres, and there were all workshops around, such as dye workshops, woodworking workshops, and weaving workshops.This area should be a so-called light industrial area, and there are no iron-making workshops.

"Gentlemen, please." The broker smiled kindly, and politely invited the three of them into the workshop.

As soon as you enter the door, you will find a spacious open space with earthy ground, about ten acres of open space.Although it was cleaned up briefly, traces of dried up soil could still be seen in some corners.

There are a few dense locust trees growing in the corner, and several acres of vegetable fields. Surrounding the open space, there is also a barn with two donkeys grazing, and they are quite energetic.A vehicle, presumably used to deliver goods.

Outside the open space to the east is a row of houses. The inside is a bit messy and has not been tidied up yet, but there is a lot of space, which must be used to store goods.The other two are places for accommodation. With a little modification, it can be turned into a Datong shop to accommodate many workers to sleep.

In the northwest corner is a small open-air kitchen with a large pot on the waist-high stove. Presumably the family lived here at that time and lived a self-sufficient life.

The broker quickly began to introduce: "This workshop was originally used to make clay figurines, and some utensils such as pottery bowls and vases. Later, the owner wanted to go home and was eager to sell. If you sincerely want to Yes, the speed is fast, and the price can be lowered a bit, but the reserve price cannot exceed this amount.”

As he spoke, he pointed out two fingers and shook them twice.

Sunan looked at it, although he felt that it was a bit crude, but after the store was smashed last time, there was less than 400 taels of silver left, the big ones were not affordable, and the small ones were enough.

"What do you think?" Sunan asked Lin Jun who was thinking beside him.

"The workshop looks relatively small, but it can accommodate at least 30 to [-] people, which must be enough." Lin Jun looked around and said. "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and it's also close to the shop. There are donkey carts, kitchens, and tools."

"Tools are not good. If you want to produce cosmetics in large quantities, you need to re-order special tools and equipment." Sunan shook his head.

Lin Jun nodded, indicating that he understood. He was not specialized in this industry, and he didn't know much about it.

Sunan's mind was almost settled, and he turned around and began to bargain with the broker. He picked out many faults for no reason, and he was stingy, so he cut the price of 220 taels of silver to 200 taels of silver, paid the deposit, and waited for two Rizai and the owner took the deed and land deed, and just went to report and file the case.

Although the price has been reduced to 200 taels of silver, there are a lot of fees and taxes that should be reduced.The broker has to charge a fee of two pips, and the tax that needs to be paid here is ten pips.In other words, Sunan had to take out 220 four taels of silver, and the price he cut just now was just used to pay the fee.

After paying the deposit to the broker, the three went back to the shop.

When he arrived at the store, Sunan suddenly remembered something, "Hehe" smiled, turned to Songzhu and said, "Songzhu, go to the vegetable market or the slaughterhouse, and help me buy two catties of pig pancreas."

Songzhu's eyes were wide open, quite puzzled, and even Lin Jun next to him was in a daze, not knowing what kind of medicine Sunan was selling in his arms.

"Pig pan? What is that?" Lin Jun asked suspiciously.

"Sir, what do you want that kind of thing for?" Songzhu knew better than Lin Jun, but he didn't understand what Sunan wanted to do.

"Why do you ask so many questions? Naturally, I want to use it for research. You buy it first and then talk about it." Sunan didn't tell him what to do, but asked Songzhu to buy it back.

Although Shochiku didn't know Sunan's intentions, he could only follow his request and went out with a basket on his shoulders.

Looking back at Lin Jun, he frowned, still stuck in something like "pig pancreas" and couldn't get out.

"What the hell is this pig's pancreas?"

Sunan said with a smile: "You must have never bought vegetables before. This pig pancreas is the pancreas of a pig. It is a part of the body. Because it is a discarded item, few people buy it. Maybe it can only be bought in a slaughterhouse." arrive."

"Since it's useless, what do you use it for?" Lin Jun frowned, watching Sunan smiling like a fox, with curved eyebrows and mysterious expression.

Songzhu quickly bought the things back, saying it was a purchase, but it was a gift at all, because at this time, the pig pancreas is like the gall in the fish, useless, after the butcher kills the pigs and sheep, he throws them away as waste Lost.

Songzhu casually went for a few laps, picked up most of the basket of things and came back.

Both of them looked at the bulging bag with some disgust, which looked like a lump of fat, but it was a little fatty, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Sunan's gourd.

Sunan looked excited, and cleaned up the three catties of pig pancreas by himself.First, all the unnecessary things are scraped off, and then sliced ​​into thin slices, spread on the Shau Kei, and placed in the sun to dry.

Until now, Lin Jun still didn't understand what he was doing.

"After you dry these things, do you want to grind them into powder?" Lin Jun didn't work on the sidelines. Fortunately, it was relatively close to the store, so it was convenient to go back and forth.Sunan didn't talk about him, but let him watch it aside.

"Of course it will be ground into powder." Sunan is still keeping it secret at this time. Of course, it is impossible for him to tell Lin Jun that he is going to make a new type of detergent. He only intends to inform Lin Jun after the thing is made.

Sunan's mystery seemed to plant a seed of curiosity in Lin Jun's heart. At first he thought that the pig's pancreas was just an ordinary beauty product to be added to cosmetics.But when he asked Sunan, he said no, which made Lin Jun even more itchy.

Fortunately, the sun has been quite strong these days, and the heat has been sufficient, and it only takes three days to roughly dry it in the sun.

In Shiwaige store, Lin Jun replaced Sunan and sat behind the counter.

Suddenly there was a clear cry from outside. "Sir, sir!" A disheveled head poked in, his eyes looked expectant at first, but when he saw Lin Jun, his expression changed, then he looked at Lin Jun with vigilant and probing eyes, and asked, "Who are you?" , where is Mr. Su?"

Lin Jun didn't want to talk to this little beggar at first, but he called "Sir", which was obviously someone Sunan knew would call him that way, so he stood up from behind the counter, looked at him calmly and said, "I'm Mr. The steward you invited here is named Lin Jun, who are you looking for?"

Su Yang was taken aback for a moment, then he remembered the notice Sunan had made outside the store some time ago, saying that he wanted to hire a manager, could it be this person?A trace of displeasure rose in his heart, and his eyes became a little more critical, and he began to look Lin Jun up and down.

It was this scrutiny that made Su Yang tremble with fear.

This man was eight feet tall, although his body was not as burly as some wrestlers, but he was muscular. Just by looking at his muscles hidden under the clothes, one could tell that this man's explosive power was extremely strong.

The inner breath is calm, and the wind is rustling under the feet of walking, just standing there, I feel a fierce momentum rushing towards my face.

Looking at his appearance, it can be said that he is handsome, heroic and handsome.With restrained eyes and deep inner breath, he must be a person with high martial arts skills.

Su Yang's eyes rolled, but he was secretly guessing in his heart, this man is highly skilled in martial arts, and judging by his aura, he must not be an unknown person. When did such a person come to the capital, and he didn't know it?

In Su Yang's heart, he matched Lin Jun with every person in the world he knew, but he still couldn't match the number. He secretly wondered, adding a bit of suspicion and vigilance.

Not only Su Yang, but even Lin Jun had doubts about the little beggar in front of him.

The little beggar has sharp eyes, walks lightly on his toes, and hardly makes any sound, a large part of which is caused by practicing lightness exercises.Moreover, although the little beggar looked thin and thin, the clothes on his arms were pulled to the middle, revealing a thin layer of muscle curves, and he must have been exercising from time to time.

Why did Sunan make friends with this kind of person?Lin Jun thought to himself, and thought that after observing Sunan these few days, he found that this person really doesn't know martial arts, but looking at the things he sells and the rumors in his daily life, he also knows that he has a broad mind and is extremely intelligent.

The doubts and curiosity about Sunan deepened in his heart.

The two of them secretly thought about each other, speculated about each other, and got along silently for a while, and the atmosphere was silent.

Until Sunan came in from the back door of the store, he felt the strange atmosphere in the store for a moment and shuddered.But he always lost his mind. Although he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he didn't delve into it. Instead, he stepped forward and asked strangely:

"Why don't you two speak?"

The author has something to say: In the early stage, the main thing is to invent and make cosmetics, supplemented by feelings. Here I will make a soap first, and then make soap later.
