On the second day, Song Dashan took a day to water the fields, and on the third day, he took Li Mo to pick flowers in the back mountain early in the morning.
Song Dashan carried a pannier on his back, and tied Xiaobao with cloth strips in front of his body, so that he could pick flowers while carrying him. Li Mo followed with a basket in her hand.
Sure enough, there are many roses and Jin flowers in the back mountain. Li Mo picked the roses and Song Dashan picked the Jin flowers. After a while, they filled the back baskets and baskets they brought.
In order to prevent people from asking questions, Li Mo and Song Dashan sent the back basket and basket home first, and then went to Uncle Zhang's house to get the wooden box.
Li Mo originally thought that the ancient craftsmanship would not be much better, but she was surprised by the result. The wooden box made by Uncle Zhang is not only not rough, but very delicate, polished very smooth. When the lid is closed, it basically looks There is no seam, and when the lid is opened, there is no sense of clogging at all. There is also a small buckle on the lid. With a light click, the lid will be firmly locked to the owner, so you don’t have to worry about spilling things.
With this box, her balm doesn't look low-end at all, on the contrary, it adds points to her balm, so that more people will buy it.
Li Mo sincerely thanked Uncle Zhang, secretly thinking that she can come to Uncle Zhang for any calls in the future.
After getting the box, Li Mo can start to prepare the balm.
Pick the rose petals off, wash them with water, mix them with the shredded Jin flowers, put them in a pot, and steam them over high heat. After half an hour, both the roses and the Jin flowers are limp and turned into mud. Stir evenly with chopsticks, steam for another quarter of an hour, turn off the heat, take it out and put it in a basin, add two lumps of facial oil, stir well, then use a pestle to mash the flower mud in the pot into a fine mud, at this time, the balm It's ok, it looks pink, almost like rouge, it's really pretty.
Li Mo dipped a little balm on her hand, and gently rubbed it on her wrist, spreading it evenly, her wrist was not red, it was as clean as if she hadn't rubbed anything on it, but the fragrance radiated out, you can smell it without getting close, and it can be smelled all day long It will not disperse. This effect is similar to that done in modern times, and does not require any technical support.
Put the balm in the basin into the prepared wooden boxes one by one, compact it, and wait for a while to cool down.
Li Mo picked up three boxes, packed them up, and walked to Aunt Zhao's house.
Li Mo has already made up her mind to send three boxes to Aunt Zhao's house. If she wanted to open up the business of this balm, she had to have someone try it out and promote it. It would be a good idea to do this for Aunt Zhao's family who has a good relationship with their family. She can give them something and promote it for herself.
Li Mo came in the afternoon, the Zhao family had just finished eating, and the whole family was resting.
As soon as Zhao Qinhua saw Li Mo coming, her eyes lit up, and she immediately came to greet her, "Sister Li Mo, you are here."
Li Mo smiled and pulled her hand.
At this time, everyone in the Zhao family greeted her one after another.
Aunt Zhao asked Li Mo directly, "Li Mo, are you here to find Auntie for something?"
Li Mo smiled and nodded, "Auntie, I'm here on business." Saying that, she took out the three boxes she brought and put them on the table.
At this time, everyone came over curiously, looking at this delicate wooden box full of curiosity.
"Sister Li Mo, what is this?" Yang Lanhua asked.
Li Mo smiled, "This is the ointment I made, and it's for you to use."
When the women of the Zhao family heard this, they were immediately surprised: "Salve? Is this balm? This is a good thing."
Li Mo smiled, opened one of them, picked a little bit with her hand, took Qin Hua's hand, daubed it lightly on her wrist, then closed the lid of the ointment, and asked everyone, "Does it smell good?"
Li Xiaofeng, who was two steps away from Qinhua, had already smelled the fragrance. It smelled very good, even better than the balm she had smelled in the rouge shop before. Now she walked around Qinhua, and found that there was a lot of fragrance around Qinhua. They all have a faint fragrance, and I was immediately shocked, "It's so powerful, just put a little on your wrist, and your whole body will be fragrant. It smells so good, girl, did you really make this?"
Li Mo nodded, and pushed the three boxes of balm in front of them, "Sister-in-law, I did make it, and I won't lie to you, I plan to sell this and give you three boxes, you can use it well, Also help me recommend it to others.”
Yang Lanhua was a little embarrassed, "Sister Li Mo, this balm is very expensive, you gave us three boxes at once, it's too bad, it can't be done."
Li Mo shook her head, "Sister-in-law, I made this, and I didn't buy it at a huge price. You guys should use it well and recommend it to me. I'll make money then."
At this time, Qin Hua said worriedly: "Sister-in-law, your balm is good, but this balm is too expensive, and we villagers probably don't want to spend money to buy it."
Everyone else agrees with Qin Hua's words, this balm is something that the country people are not willing to buy.
Li Mo immediately explained: "My balm won't be the same price as the cosmetics shop. Even if I use this balm every day, a box can be used for about 3 months. I only sell it for 5 yuan per box, and 2 yuan a month. Don’t want it, isn’t anyone buying it yet?”
"What? Sister, you only sell it for 5 renminbi for such a big box? It's too cheap, the cheapest one in the makeup shop costs 15 renminbi." Lu Xiaofeng who was on the side was surprised.
Li Mo: "It is indeed 5 Wen. I sell it to the daughter-in-law in the village. I don't want to earn more, just a little per box."
"Such a good thing, as long as 5 Wen, someone must buy it." At this time, Aunt Zhao also spoke.
Li Mo smiled, "Auntie, the two sisters-in-laws, and Qinhua, you need them, please help me and tell other people, if anyone wants it, let me buy it."
Several people nodded in agreement immediately.
Li Mo originally thought that it would take a few days before anyone would pay attention to her, but she never expected that Qin Hua would bring a little lady over to her house in the afternoon.
"Sister-in-law, this is Tao Zi, my good sister, she wants to buy your balm." Qin Hua introduced the girl beside her to Li Mo.
Li Mo looked at the girl and said with a smile: "Come in and sit down, let's sit and talk."
Tao Zi was a little shy, she blushed when she saw Li Mo, it was the first time she saw such a beautiful person, she couldn't help but glance at Li Mo, and then again.
Li Mo noticed the little girl's stealthy gaze, she was amused, and didn't point it out, she went to the kitchen and poured two bowls of water for the two of them.
"Sister-in-law, don't be too busy, I'm here to buy your balm with peaches."
You went to play with Taozi for your balm, and Taozi smelled it and said it smelled good on me, hehe. After finishing speaking, Qin Hua couldn't help laughing happily.
Tao Zi on the side also nodded, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, Qin Hua smells really good, and I want to buy your balm too."
Li Mo nodded, told them to wait a moment, went into the room and took out a box of balm, and handed it to Taozi, "Come on, this is balm, do you want to try it?"
Tao Zi has been tempted for a long time, now Li Mo asked her if she wanted to try it, she immediately nodded embarrassedly, opened the box cherishingly, and saw that the inside was pink like rouge, very pretty and tight.
Tao Zi blinked, and asked Li Mo embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, how do you use this?"
Li Mo took the box, picked out a little bit, took Tao Zi's hand, and applied it on her wrist, "Look, just a small amount, and then apply it on the wrist or neck, as long as a little bit can maintain It’s been a day, no need to apply more.”
Tao Zi leaned close to her wrist and smelled it. It smelled really good. She was so happy that she immediately took out 5 Wen coins from her purse and handed it to Li Mo, "Sister-in-law, this is money. You are much cheaper than cosmetic shops."
Li Mo didn't hold back, and took the money readily, "Then sister-in-law will take the money. If you use it well, you can help sister-in-law to recommend it."
Tao Zi nodded, "It's so cheap, I'll definitely recommend it to you."
Qinhua on the side pulled Limo's sleeve at this time, blinked, and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, I told Taozi that you put on makeup for me last time, and the makeup was very beautiful. Taozi didn't quite believe it, sister-in-law, you Can you do some makeup for Taozi too, she is going to get married soon, if you do well for her, she won't need to hire other dressers."
Tao Zi also looked at Li Mo helplessly, with curiosity and longing in her eyes.
Li Mo smiled, why can't this work, it's tantamount to promoting herself, she can't wait.
"Then you two, wait a minute, I'll get the tools." He said and went into the room to get the makeup tools.
The two little ladies who stayed behind blushed with joy.
Li Mo took a closer look at Tao Zi's face. Her skin was rough, her eyes were relatively small, and her lips were a bit thick. When applying makeup, she should pay attention to these points.
After thinking about it, Li Mo picked up the makeup and quickly moved it on Taozi's face.
Qinhua didn't see how Li Mo made herself up last time, and she could make herself so good-looking. Now, she finally saw it, but after watching it, she felt that Li Mo was amazing, even if she just took a step Bu Bu watched Li Mo's sister-in-law transform, but still couldn't remember what she did, and didn't know how she did it, so she just scribbled and painted, and Tao Zi seemed to be a different person under Li Mo's sister-in-law. If she didn't know that it was Tao Zi, she wouldn't dare to recognize it, Tao Zi is so beautiful.
I saw that Taozi’s rough skin was gone, her face looked smooth and tender now, her eyes were big and energetic, even her lips, which she had always considered thick before, were now pink and tender, making people want to reach out Flick it and see how it feels. Coupled with the tassel bun made by Li Mo's sister-in-law, the current peach is more beautiful than the daughter of the Huangyuanwai family in the town.
"Taozi, you must not know how beautiful you are now." After Qinhua finished speaking, she immediately took the mirror and held it in front of Taozi for her to see. This look made Qinhua know what expression she had at that time, just like Taozi Stay like this.
Qin Hua smiled, and pushed Tao Zi, "Tao Zi, are you stupid? Isn't it too pretty?"
Tao Zi nodded blankly, and murmured, "Is this me? Why are you so beautiful?"
Qin Hua pinched Tao Zi's face with a smile, "Wake up, this is you."
Tao Zi let out an "oops" when she pinched her, and she reacted and slapped Qin Hua immediately, "I hate it, don't pinch my face, what should I do if my makeup is messed up by you!"
Qin Hua laughed at her, "Smelly!"
Taozi didn't give up too much, "Aren't you too, you are much more beautiful than me."
Li Mo watched the two girls fight, and sighed in her heart that this is still a child, and they are about to get married, as expected in ancient times.
At this time, the two of them finished fighting, and Tao Zi held Li Mo's hand with bright eyes, "Sister-in-law, your makeup is so beautiful, come and do it for me when I get married, I want to go home and give it to me now." Mother, look at my appearance now." After saying that, she couldn't wait to go home.
Qin Hua muttered in the back, "This is running too fast."
