I bring my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 4 Hitting a wall

After asking the questions in her mind, Qiao Yun probably had some ideas.

Seeing that she was not needed at the moment, Xianyun said goodbye and continued to feed the ducks.

Qiao Yun sat under the shade of a tree and took out a few pieces of paper and a small round porcelain box from the bundle.

This is the peach blossom cream recipe that I brought out from the game before. It is a specialty of a sect called "Yingyuefang", and it is somewhat similar to the real-life snowflake cream.

The specialty of this sect is a wide variety of beauty products, ranging from the creams used by ordinary people to wipe their faces, to the top-grade balms and powders sent to the palace. If you open a cosmetics and powder shop in the game, the products of this sect will be the best-selling ones.

.

However, regardless of whether you are a player of this sect or not, you need to have a reputation of "Admiration" before you can obtain the recipe.

This game is very realistic, and the formulas for each cosmetic are written on several pages. If you really follow the recipes in real life, you can actually make them.

In her previous life, she had tried to manually reproduce the simplest peach blossom paste, but she didn't know which joint had the problem, and the purity of the paste was never as good as in the game.

She figured it out immediately. To produce these rouge gouache in the game, you only need to run a program. All the materials and processes will naturally be 100% perfect. In reality, there will always be deficiencies in the reproduction.

There must be a powder shop in this county, and she planned to try her luck and sell the formula.

Of course, if the owner of the powder shop is more interested in the perfect quality peach blossom cream in her hand, she will be happy to only provide the finished product, which will make more money.

After Qiao Yun made up her mind, she looked down at her clothes and immediately asked Lu Zheqiu to get new clothes.

Beauty has always been a pastime for the rich. Which girl from a peasant family applies makeup and powder every day? Not to mention making powder. Apart from powder workshops, this is something only young ladies who have time and money can do for themselves, or wealthy people.

The maids of other families would study this intensively in order to please their masters.

The new clothes are made of materials she chose herself.

Very light snow-green fine linen was used to make a short jacket with a straight collar and a wide placket. White braided silk was used as the lining. It was filled with goose down. The cuffs and collar were trimmed with mink fur. The cuffs of the jacket were also embroidered with some small snow-blue butterflies; they were cut again.

A skirt of crow-green fine linen.

The pure and simple color can add a certain elegance to the whole person.

In order to keep warm, she also wore a coral velvet jacket and pants, and a pair of large cotton pants on her legs under the skirt.

After leaving the game, she put on new clothes, made herself two buns, and wore two small white flowers. In her previous life, she stepped into the three big pits of the three bankrupt goddesses, and squatted down.

Over the years, she has mastered various classical styles with ease, whether it is wrapped with a wig or not.

Qiao Yun couldn't help but look left and right in the mirror, opened the box of peach blossom cream, raised a large piece of it with her fingertips, and wiped her face and hands.

She had looked in the mirror before when she entered the game, and she was very disappointed by the black and yellow face.

But now after cleaning it, I discovered that, apart from being malnourished and a bit sallow, this body is still quite beautiful. She is a beautiful woman. If she takes good care of her, she will definitely be beautiful.

He is completely different from before taking a shower.

It turns out that the dark complexion is just dust and oil on the body!

Qiao Yun paused while applying cream on herself.

It seems that in the memory of the original owner, she did not take a bath much after winter.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the villagers in Baihe Village have to cut firewood every two or three days just to burn their kangs. They are so tiring and their ears will freeze off when they go out. When it snows heavily, it will be dangerous in the mountains.

, only fools go up the mountain to feed the wolves.

If you don’t sweat and the weather is dry, there is really no need to wash frequently. Many people only wash once before the Chinese New Year.

Don't even think about taking a shower every day. Even if you think about taking a shower every two or three days, you will be beaten up by your elders and scolded for wasting firewood.

Qiao Yun's hands were shaking a little.

Strangely, after taking a shower just now, I felt like I was completely transformed!

From this point of view, she couldn't go to her grandfather's house, she had to find a way to live alone!

Living alone, she can also get hot water from a wooden basin in the game to ensure that she feels refreshed at all times.

My grandfather’s family is also a very ordinary commoner. If I go there, I am sure I will have to share a kang with other female relatives. How can I take a bath frequently?

She doesn't want to be sloppy!

But what if you bump into your uncle and the others on the street? At that time, you have to give a lot of excuses when dealing with relatives...

But it would be unreliable to go directly to the county town. As the saying goes, there are many tricks in the city. The merchants in this county town still retain a bit of country people's simplicity. There will be more people in the county town who eat people without spitting out their bones. She just

As an eleven-year-old girl with no supporter, if she encounters any trouble, she will be in trouble.

Sigh...just take it one step at a time.

Sell ​​what you have first and get the first pot of gold.

To put it bluntly, it's just two taels of silver. It's enough for what you can do!

Qiao Yun gently closed the lid of the peach blossom paste to prevent it from being frozen into lumps by the cold wind. She put the peach blossom paste into her arms and left the inn.

It's not hard to find makeup shops. If ordinary people don't have the spare money, they can definitely find them in wealthy areas.

Qiao Yun walked around in the blocks lined with small courtyards with green bricks and black tiles. As expected, she found two houses within a short distance of each other. She planned to check them out one by one.

The first store is larger and has a rather gorgeous exterior decoration. The plaques are painted in gold and read "Ch'ang'an Spring Festival".

Qiao Yun opened the curtain, and a gust of warm wind blew in her face, carrying a strong aroma that made her feel dizzy.

"Please come inside, guest officer——!"

A pretty young lady came forward. She was dressed in brocade fur and a long satin skirt, with a pink face and a professional smile.

At this juncture a few years ago, there were few customers visiting makeup stores, and the occasional one was a hit.

What's more, just by looking at this little girl's dress, you can tell that her family is well off and she may have a big business!

The maid's eyes flashed with joy. Another sister in the shop took annual leave early and went home. This customer would fall into her hands!

Thinking that she could raise more money this month, she was full of enthusiasm and took Qiao Yun's hand with great enthusiasm: "What do you want to see, little lady? The rouge and gouache in the store is the best in Quwo. The county magistrate's wife

You also use powder from our store! You have a really good foundation, it will look even better if you apply some powder!"

Qiao Yun looked at the decoration and furnishings in the store and was amazed.

The dark cabinets have intricate carvings, ink paintings and calligraphy hang on the white walls, and there are dwarf pine bonsai inside the store. There are stairs next to the counter to the second floor. It seems there is a VIP room?

You can tell at first glance that this store is very expensive!

Qiao Yun touched her face and asked, "My face gets dry in winter, can I use some emollient balm?"

The maid nodded hurriedly: "Yes, of course! We have cheap and expensive ones in our store! Let me bring it to you and take a look."

As she said that, she went behind the counter and took out two small flat boxes. One was an ordinary white porcelain box, and the other was made of jade. Although it was not good jade in terms of quality, it was enough to hold beauty creams.

It's so expensive.

The maid opened the two small boxes. The white porcelain box contained a light yellow ointment with a light bitter taste, and the jade small box contained a light pink ointment with a refreshing fragrance.

She introduced: "This one is ordinary motherwort oil. It is high quality and low price. Most people use it! This one is added with camellia and many nourishing herbs, which is more expensive."

When the maid saw Qiao Yun picking up the expensive box, her heart was in her throat.

Do we really want her to become a big business today?

But before the smile bloomed on her face, Qiao Yun put down the box. She pursed her lips and shook her head in her heart.

Both of these creams had an oily sheen, which must have been added with animal fat. Qiao Yun could imagine the reflection on her cheeks after applying them.

This is far worse than her peach blossom cream!

She raised a smile and said, "Does your store accept prescriptions? I made a facial ointment myself and it works very well. Do you want to take a look?"

When the maid heard this, the smile on her face froze.

I thought this was a rich man, but it turned out he wasn’t here to buy anything!

Her expression suddenly changed, and her tone became impatient: "Sorry, we don't accept it in the store. If you don't want to buy anything, please leave."

"My recipe is better than these two. Why don't you ask the shopkeeper to come out and let him take a look before making a plan? Or you can give it a try first?"

"What a joke!" The maid became even more disdainful when she heard this. She rolled her eyes, "The balms in our shop are all fashionable styles imported from Chang'an. Everyone in Quwo County covets them! Where do we need your prescription?"

As she said that, she waved her handkerchief and said, "Where did you come from as a charlatan? You're still dressed up. If you don't leave, I'll call the nursing home!"

As a last resort, Qiao Yun left the store.

Feeling ashamed, she touched her nose.

It's not that I'm discouraged, I'm just a little angry.

What kind of service attitude is this! How can she, a little shop assistant, be so rude to people who come to the door?

When meeting someone who needs business cooperation like this, which modern store clerk would not first ask his or her boss to make a decision!

If she hadn't been alone and weak, Qiao Yun would have had to scold her a few times.

Qiao Yun calmed down her emotions and walked to another store.

This store is much smaller, it doesn't even have a plaque, it just has a cover at the door. The store not only sells cosmetics, but also sells target mirrors, embroidery threads, embroidery fabrics, embroidery products, spices and other groceries.

The shelves and counters were crowded into the small shop. Sitting behind the counter was a woman with a round face. She was dressed simply, with only eyebrows and lipstick on her face.

This must be a small family shop that is open to make a living. This woman may be the proprietress or the shopkeeper. Anyway, it is always right to call her shopkeeper.

When she saw someone entering the store, she immediately stood up and greeted him: "What do you want to buy, little lady? The new rouge we have here comes in several colors that are most suitable for your age."

Qiao Yun shook her head and handed over the peach blossom ointment in her hand: "Thank you, shopkeeper, but I'm here to discuss business. This is the peach blossom ointment I made myself. It can moisturize and whiten the skin. It's better than the motherwort oil from Chang'an Shichunji."

Use it. Do you want to accept it?"

"It's better than motherwort oil? Seriously? Don't fool me." The woman stared at the small porcelain box in Qiao Yun's hand suspiciously, but did not take it immediately.

She didn't believe Qiao Yun's words. Chang'an Shichun Ji is a large merchant with stores in the county. Their motherwort oil costs a lot of money for a box. Although it is not durable, the effect is really good!

This girl is so young, so making balm is just a kid's joke. Is she bragging if she says it's more effective than motherwort oil?

When Qiao Yun saw that she didn't refuse immediately, she knew something was going on. Then she opened the box in front of her: "This box is for my daily use, why don't you try it first! I still have some dried peach blossoms."

Quite a few, if you think they are suitable, I can still make them."

As the lid of the box opened, the fragrance of peach blossoms floated out. The box contained some white and powdery paste. Unlike motherwort oil, this paste looked particularly refreshing and the aroma was not cloying!

The woman was a little moved.

"Then I'll give it a try."

She put her finger in and applied a little on the back of her hand. The paste was smooth and cool, and the skin after applying the paste was obviously a little more moisturized.

Oh my gosh!
