Chapter 88
As they saw more and more good things, the maidservants were taken aback from the beginning, but now they are used to it.

"The female lord of the strange way said that reading more books is good! The golden house in the book, the thousand jins of millet in the book, according to my servant, everything in the book can be found."

Jiang Fusang's eyes showed approval: "It's almost finished, so it can be seen that the book is not in vain."

After such a long time, Calamus still can't help boasting, and blushes when he praises: "No way, my lady, stop coaxing your servant."

Jiang Fosang deliberately teased her: "You must not be too modest, otherwise you will regress."

Calamus really believed it, fearing that what he had learned would be returned, so he covered his mouth, nodded reservedly after a while.

"Then, it's okay."

Only when I caught a glimpse of the female gentleman's restrained smile, did I realize that I had been fooled.

"My lady, you're playing tricks again!"

This time not only Jiang Fosang laughed, but Youcao Chunrong and the others also laughed.

Although Calamus was a little embarrassed, he didn't think much of it.I affirmed myself and felt very good, as if I had gained more strength.

After playing around for a while, Ji Lian asked doubts in her heart, "My lady, since our products are so good, why don't we open the store in Dongshi?"

These are the female monarchs who have thought about it after searching through the classics. They are real rare goods to live in, and they have never seen them in Jingling before.

Jingling, the most prosperous place in Dayan, what is not there, is even less likely to be found elsewhere.

Dongshi is doing business for noble people.Wealthy families and rich households have plenty of places, so there is no shortage of people who know the goods, and the selling price can be set high. Isn't the purpose of doing business to make money?

Jiang Fosang asked her: "Based on what you see, the East Market is more lively, or the West Market is more lively."

Jilian said without thinking, "West Market."

What Jiang Fosang likes is the bustle, or vitality, of the West Market.

On the one hand, as she said, the crowd was huge.

On the other hand, "What's the point of being high and low? It's better to be alone than to be happy."

Let alone Ji Lian, none of Changpu and the others dared to believe these words.

If it was a while ago, I would like to believe it.Now... the lady has put in so much effort, is it possible that it is only for fun?

Jiang Fosang just laughed, half-truthfully said: "It's too difficult to go from top to bottom, but it's much easier to go from bottom to top."

Putting this point in the south will not work.

The people of the common people are the most dismissive of the things that the common people are used to. It seems that if they hook up with the common people, their style will be lowered and their blood will be polluted.

Little do they know that the bowls, chopsticks, and couches used in daily living, sitting and sleeping, which ones are not from the hands of poor people?If you want to be defiled, you have been defiled as early as the first ring.

There are many rich and powerful families in the North, and few aristocratic families.And these rich and powerful families mostly rose in the chaos of war, and they don't have so many rules and regulations on them—or they haven't had time yet, so they are more accepting of new things.

For example, if the West Market sells hot food, the residents in the East Market will ask their servants to buy it for a taste.

The reverse doesn't work too well.

Jiang Fosang chose the West Market, following the path of encircling the city from the countryside.

What's more, "Lele alone is not as good as all people" Lele is a joking word, but it is not just talk.

No matter how good something is, what's the point of monopolizing it?It's not very interesting to have a small group of people alone.

Wouldn't it be better for more people to use, enjoy, and gain convenience, and at the same time, she can get profits from it?
"Let's not talk about this." Jiang Fosang asked Wan Qing who was next to him to hand him the mold for making lip balm.

Wan Qing was originally in charge of the makeup, as for the cosmetics, other people were watching the excitement, and she was in charge of the doorway.

The lipsticks on the market are all pastes packed in flat porcelain boxes, but Nujun made them into round columnar shapes, and the trick is in the mold made of bamboo diameter heads.

The mold looks simple, but it is not easy to make. The mold is coated with cold armor, four layers of paper wrap the bottom of the tube, the tube is wrapped with paper, the rope is tightly wrapped, and finally it is filled with fat and cut with a bamboo knife.

After the above steps, a grease mold with a suitable size and a neat barrel mouth and bamboo body can be obtained.

"Using two liang of cooked vermilion, five liang of minced comfrey, two liang of clove, and one liang of musk... the above four flavors are mixed with carapace decoction as ointment. The name, let’s call it Qianjinyi.”

After memorizing it by heart, Wan Qing started to try out another formula given by the lady:
Five taels of cinnabar and 11 taels of comfrey.The cinnabar needs to be finely ground, and then the comfrey is fried in the wax. After filtering with a thin cotton pad and cooling, the wax is first melted on the ash fire, and then poured into the decoction, stirred until the color is good, and then mixed with the decoction.If it is too hard, fry it, and if it is soft, add wax. When it is hard and soft, put comfrey in a copper pan to eliminate it.

After the bamboo tubes are joined and wrapped with paper and rope, they are filled with melted fat.

When it condenses, the lip balm is ready.

The cream is smooth and has a strong fragrance. When using it, just scoop out a little and apply it on the lips.

The experiment was successful, Wan Qing took the newly made lipstick and tried it on Calamus and the others, and the yard burst into laughter.

Mrs. Zhai happened to pass by here, and the partition wall rolled his eyes.

"Xiaoxiaoxiao, I don't know where I got so much fun all day long!"

She approached Bian and talked about it.

Bian said: "Fifth sister-in-law is still young, which girl of her age doesn't like to play around?"

Zhai's eyes slanted, he yelled several times, and took Bian's hand, as if to rub it for her.

He also said in his mouth: "Don't be exhausted for such a pair of good hands who have worked so hard."

Mrs. Bian was a little dazed at first, but when she realized that she was mocking him for carrying the water, he was annoyed and funny, and pulled his hand back and patted her vigorously: "You are the only one who will be narrow!"

Zhai dodged it with half-truths and half-fakes, and sat down again: "It's good that the elder sister-in-law knows it well, you speak for her all the time, it seems that my fourth sister-in-law and I were picked up, and sometimes you love us both."

Mrs. Bian saw that her words were getting more and more out of order, so she said: "Where is it my turn to pick it up? I don't have such a blessing. It's not my turn to hurt you. If you are such a rascal, you have to have your second uncle—"

Seeing Zhai's expression, he stopped in time, and returned the topic to Jiang Fosang as if nothing had happened.

"You too. A while ago, she went out all day, and you said she was wandering around; recently, she stayed behind closed doors, and you said she was acting in a muffled voice. Then I would like to ask her how to do it according to your wishes."

"Looking at what my sister-in-law said, it seems that I am making trouble out of no reason." Mrs. Zhai leaned forward, "I heard that she and her maids are always making some incense powder and creams in the courtyard... Can you see my sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Bian smiled: "Since you are curious, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

"Who said I'm curious!" Mrs. Zhai curled her lips, "You don't need to look to know, but it's just a trick of some noble girls."

After a pause, he glanced at Mrs. Bian again: "Sister-in-law really doesn't know? Didn't you send a few servants to the Fifth Uncle's courtyard, and you can hide every move there from you?"

Mrs. Bian's face darkened when she heard the words: "In this way, you and the fourth sister-in-law's house also have people arranged by me. If you are suspicious, you can expel them!"

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I'm joking too..."

"Is there such a joke?" Mrs. Bian seldom has a harsh voice, "not to mention that all the servants I sent my fifth sister-in-law to serve in the outer courtyard, even if they have a new owner in the inner courtyard, how can they eat two meals a day?" ? Sister-in-law’s words are really heartbreaking!”

Mrs. Zhai made a fuss and apologized a lot before leaving embarrassingly.
