Transmigration: The Peasant Makeup Artist

In the last temple fair, more than 400 boxes of balm were sold in three days. This time the lantern fair was only one night. Li Mo was not sure how many boxes to bring, but thinking that doing more is better than doing less, doing more. After that, I can sell it slowly. If you make less, you will regret it if you don’t sell enough. So Li Mo plans to make 500 boxes this time, plus the 30 boxes left at home. It should be too much. Drop so much.

Like last time, the whole family went to the back mountain to pick flowers together. Li Mo, Meizi and Song Dashan all carried a basket on their bodies. Tiezi didn’t let him carry it, but let him watch the two little guys not running around. Up.

The two little guys are both sensible children, knowing that the adults have to be busy, do not run around or make trouble, and also pick the flowers like an adult, and then put them in the adult's basket. The little appearance is so painful.

The child didn't need to take care of it, Tiezi had nothing to do, so he used his right hand to slowly pick the flowers, and then gently put it in the basket. Everyone saw that he did not get any wounds, so they went with him.

This time I have plenty of time, so I don’t need to be as hasty as I did last time, so everyone didn’t pick it fast, and they picked it slowly while talking. It was not tired at all at the end of the day, but rather relaxed.

When the flowers were almost ready, Song Dashan asked Mr. Zhang to make five hundred boxes.

Next, Li Mo and others spent three days slowly making the balm at home, and after making it, they left it to dry for two more days before reaching the Hairpin Festival.

The Hairpin Festival Lantern Festival is in the evening, so going to Qian Xianglian’s niece to make up early in the morning does not delay things. There is no time to catch up with the evening Lantern Festival.

Song Dashan drove a donkey cart and drove Li Mo and Qian Xianglian to her elder sister's house when it was dark.

When the three arrived, Sister Qian Xianglian's house was already a little lively, and there were people coming and going, all relatives in the family were helping.

When the host saw Li Mo coming, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically without introducing him.

Qian Xianglian's eldest sister took Li Mo's hand and said, "Sister, it's hard for you to come over so early this morning. I will trouble you today."

Li Mo shook his head, "Yes, sister-in-law, please take me to the bride's ovary. I will put makeup on the bride as soon as possible."

Sister Qian nodded, asked her son to entertain Song Dashan, and then personally took Li Mo to her daughter's room.

The bride's wedding gown has been put on, and she is waiting for makeup.

When the people in the room saw Li Mo coming in, they all stared at Li Mo in amazement. They didn’t expect this beautiful little lady to be the specially invited makeup lady that the bride said in her mouth. They had never seen anything like this. Where's the young and beautiful dressing lady.

Li Mo didn't care what other people looked at her. He just nodded to the people present as a greeting. Then he put the makeup case on the table next to him and started applying makeup to the bride.

The bride wore a loose red wedding gown, but her plump figure could still be seen.

After Li Mo came here, except for the fat, lazy body like Wang Cuihua, the other women he saw were slender or even thin. Women in good conditions at home deliberately maintain a slim figure in order to conform to the mainstream aesthetics, while the daughters-in-laws in the village are unable to get fat because they do not eat well and are not full. They have to work in the fields every day.

So this bride is the first fatter young girl Li Mo has ever seen.

The bride blushed as he watched Li Mo look at herself, and said in embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, I have grown fat, let you see a joke."

Li Mo laughed and shook his head, "What a joke, you are blessed to look like this, and you will be peaceful and beautiful in the future. There is nothing wrong with being fat, as long as you are healthy."

The bride was comforted by Li Mo, but she still secretly pulled Li Mo's sleeves, and said in a low voice with embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, I still want you to make me thinner, so that it looks good. Can not do it?"

Seeing that she was too ashamed, Li Mo couldn't bear to tease her, and immediately nodded, "Okay, why not, my sister-in-law must make you look very thin and beautiful."

The bride smiled and made the people next to him stare at Li Mo's movements curiously and unblinkingly, just to see if this makeup girl is as powerful as the master said, this big bun's face can be changed Slap your face? Stop telling jokes.

Li Mo didn't know the suspicion in the hearts of the people around him, and just started to put makeup on the bride seriously.

The bride's face is indeed fat and fleshy, and the size is not small, but the only good thing is that the skin is white, and it is soft and looks very comfortable and pleasing. This kind of face makeup does not need too much, only a thin layer Powder is fine, which is very worry-free.

The inconvenient step is the retouching of the face. Shadows and highlights must be processed a lot, resulting in a visual difference, making people feel that the face is a lot thinner at first glance.

Li Mo put a shadow around the bride's face to make the face contour smaller overall, and then used the shadow to shadow under the cheekbones on both sides, and then slowly modify it, so that it looks like both cheeks are sunken. , The overall feeling is that the face is thinner. After the retouching of the highlights, the whole face is no longer the chubby and bulging look before, but is clearly defined, with slightly concave cheeks, which looks very small.

After that, Li Mo refined the makeup on the bride's eyebrows and lips, and the face makeup was completed.

The last step is the treatment of the hair. Li Mo took apart the bride’s hair that had not been curled up and combed it slowly. Part of the hair was divided on the top of the head and on both sides of the forehead for face modification, and all the other hairs were combed. Flying fairy bun.

Roll the remaining hair on both sides, hang it on both sides of the cheeks, and slightly buckle the tail inward, covering both sides of the whole face a lot, matching the shadow, the whole face is changed a lot.

Although the bride's current face is not comparable to those who are born with a thin face and a small face, she can never call it "big" or "fat". She looks like a normal and delicate little lady's face.

But because of the comparison with the big fat face of the bride before, everyone present felt that the bride's face was really thin.

Li Mo didn't feel much surprised when he was familiar with such face makeup, so he automatically stepped aside to tidy up his dressing case after finishing the makeup, leaving other people in the room to express feelings around the bride.

The house at this time can be said to be extremely lively, and the women chirping around the bride, as if they have discovered something remarkable.

"My God, I'm afraid it's a trick, how can this Dani's face become so small."

"Oh, I haven't seen such a make-up technique in so many years. The big bun's face can really be so small, why is it so powerful."

"I didn't believe it just now. Now I have to believe it. Look at this change. It's so amazing."

"Just..."

After some people expressed their feelings, they approached Li Mo and started asking Li Mo various questions curiously.

A woman who was about fifty years old asked Li Mo, "Big girl, can your makeup techniques also make other people with ugly faces look good? What if it is flawed?"

Li Mo thought for a while, and honestly said, "You can make people look better, but you can't become a god. The original appearance is still very important. If the original appearance is good, it will be more beautiful after transformation. Big, then there is no way to make the defect the same as non-existent."

The woman nodded, her eyes rolled, looking thoughtful.

At this time, Qian Xianglian’s eldest sister came in and saw her daughter’s appearance. She looked and looked in surprise. Finally she came over and took Li Mo and patted her hand, thanking you: "Sister, thank you, you made my big girl. It's so pretty. That face is like cutting off the meat. Come and come, take this red envelope. You have worked hard today." Said Said Li Mo a red seal.

Li Mo didn't decline either. He took it directly and put it away, and then said goodbye to Sister Qian: "Sister-in-law, this matter is over, I will leave first, you are busy."

Sister Qian hurriedly pulled Li Mo, "Sister, stay and have a wedding drink, why are you leaving so early?"

Li Mo waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, there are still things at home, so I can't delay any longer. I understand your kindness, and I really want to leave."

Sister Qian saw that Li Mo was determined to go, and she had no choice but to stay, so she had to send people out.

There were only two people, Song Dashan and Li Mo, and Qian Xianglian had to stay for the wedding wine.

By the time Li Mo and Song Dashan arrived home, every household had already started to eat lunch. Meizi had already prepared lunch at home, and waited for the two of them to come back to start the meal.

After lunch, several people took a short rest, and then began to move things to the donkey cart.

Put the finished balm into the basket first, and then move the basket to the donkey cart. Li Mo thought for a while and took the small table in the room at home and put it in the donkey cart. Just use the table as a stall, and put the balm on the table to sell, so that customers can stand up and choose instead of squatting down like the last temple fair.

Li Mo boiled another pot of hot water, then put it in the only clay pot at home, covered it with a bowl and put it in the car, so that he could drink it when he was thirsty at night.

After everything was installed, it seemed that it was almost evening. The family cooked dinner in advance, ate the dinner early, and then drove the donkey cart to the town.

Not only is there no curfew tonight, but there is no need to pay for the stalls, so there are very many people who set up the stalls tonight, and even the vegetables at home are sold at the village stalls.

Before it got dark, the street was already bustling, and various small vendors were busy preparing their stalls. It took a long time for Li Mo to find an empty seat with a good location, right in front of a cloth shop.

Li Mo, the owner of this cloth shop, knew him. Not only did he buy cloth at his home a few times before, but he also saw it at the last temple fair, and he also met it in the town several times afterwards.

The cloth shop owner saw someone occupying the front door and was about to come out to drive him away. He didn't expect to see Li Mo, but didn't say anything. He just said hello with a smile, "Sister Li, I didn't expect it to be you Ah, are you here to sell perfume too?"

Li Mo nodded and said politely: "Boss, we are going to set up a stall in front of your shop tonight, don't you bother?"

The boss waved his hand quickly, "Don't bother, don't bother, I will come out to set up a stall later, and the two are selling together but it is lively."

Li Mo nodded, stopped talking, and concentrated on moving the things in the carriage to start arrangement.

The cloth shop owner didn’t leave immediately. He watched for a while. When Li Mo looked over again, he nodded with a smile, turned and walked into the cloth shop. After a while, he moved a table out, and then moved into the shop. The cloths were laid out one by one, just next to Li Mo's table.

It was getting dark, and the lanterns at every door of the street were lit up, especially the shops selling lanterns. All the lanterns in the store were moved outside the door and lit, making the whole street bright. Everything can be seen clearly.

At this time, the flow of people gradually increased, and the shouts of the vendors also sounded, and the street suddenly became full of people.

Meizi had the experience of the last time, and did not ask Li Mo this time, and immediately shouted with an open voice, "Selling balm, cheap and affordable balm, only eight cents for a box!"

With a few voices, Meizi attracted the guests. When everyone heard a box of eight yuan, they all followed the voice to come to Li Mo's booth, and found that the box containing the balm was so big that they immediately became interested, and asked to open it for a look inside. How about your balm.

Li Mo opened a box of rose flavor and a box of chrysanthemum flavor separately, and showed it to everyone, and then said: "If you want to try it, please stretch out your wrist and try the balm for free. buy."

Good things like balm can be tried for free, which is enough to attract a large group of people. No, when Li Mo's voice just fell, the women around the stall stretched out their wrists.

"Boss, give me a try."

"Boss, I want to try it."

"boss……"

Li Mo was not in a hurry, responding one by one, and then put a little perfume on the stretched wrist one by one.

The women who tried the balm were very happy, and they smelled and smelled immediately, and found that it tasted good, so they all paid for a box.

On a holiday like today, most people are ready to spend money, so paying for things is much cleaner than usual, and many men don’t hesitate to pay for it because they are happy with the women around them. The woman laughed.

After a while, Li Mo had already sold a lot, and due to the fact that there were too many people in the stall, and under the influence of the herd mentality, a steady stream of customers flocked to Li Mo's stall without even shouting.

Li Mo found that the guests tonight were significantly more refreshed than those at the last temple fair. The business was also busier than last time. Li Mo, Meizi and Song Dashan were all too busy for a moment. Tiezi, who is watching the children next to him, also occasionally stretches out his hand to help, which is better.

Because Li Mo's balm is selling well, there are many more people watching the cloth in front of the cloth shop owner’s stall. The cloth shop owner took advantage of Li Mo’s free time and said to Li Mo: "Sister Li, tonight is really Thanks to you, my cloth business has also improved a lot."

Li Mo smiled.

The boss of the cloth village didn’t say much, but soon he took out a few benches from the cloth village and placed them behind Li Mo and the others, saying: “You can’t stand standing so long. Come on, take the time to sit for a while. Rest your legs."

Li Mo quickly thanked the boss for his kindness, and they were busy again before they could say more.

The flow of people didn’t begin to fade until after the first time. At this time, Li Mo found that there was not much of the balm that she had brought from home. This greatly exceeded her expectations. She thought it would be good to sell 300 boxes. I thought of selling almost 500 boxes in one night, which is more than the last three days of the temple fair.

After the age, the street gradually disappeared, and the vendors began to pack their things and go home. Li Mo and others also packed their things and planned to go home.

Song Dashan moved the table back to the carriage, Meizi followed the carrying basket into the carriage, Li Mo was packing the leftovers, the cloth house owner next to him walked over and handed two batches of brightly colored cloth to Li Mo. Mo approached.

Li Mo was startled and looked up at the cloth shop owner, "Boss, what are you?"

The cloth shop owner smiled and said: "Let's take these two batches of Bu Li sisters. I think they are very suitable for you. The dresses should be very suitable."

Before Li Mo could refuse, the cloth shop owner said again: "Sister, don’t refuse, just as I thank you for bringing me so much business tonight. I specially kept these two batches of cloth for you, accept it. ."

Li Mo frowned fiercely, looked at the boss's eyes, and finally knew why the boss was so enthusiastic to her. He still had other thoughts about feelings.

Doesn't he know that she is married? Does he not know that Song Dashan who has been with him tonight is her husband?

Now that you know, why do you show her hospitality!

Li Mo's face became cold, and his voice also went cold, "The boss's kindness forgives the little girl for not accepting it, and the little girl is no good for it.

After Li Mo finished speaking, he quickly picked up his things and walked towards the donkey cart.

What Li Mo didn't know was that until their donkey cart went so far away, there were a pair of eyes staring at them behind him.

The owner of the cloth shop looked at the donkey cart going away, his eyes darkened, and he put the cloth in his hand on the table.

The owner of the cloth village has his surname Zhang and his name is Zhang Zeshi. He is thirty-four this year. He is a mature man. He lost his wife at an early age and left one son alone. He never married again. He brought up his son alone. Now his son also married a wife and had children. There is no burden at all.

Of course, men are all in need. He usually goes straight to the brothel to extinguish the fire, but never remarry. It is not how unforgettable his dead wife is, but he has not met an eye-catching woman for so many years, so He simply didn't marry, until the last time Li Mo came to his shop to buy cloth, his heart suddenly moved.

But watching Li Mo comb the woman's hair bun, he saw that he had a husband. Despite his heartbeat, he still pressed the thought in his heart, no one knew.

Last time at the Fahua Mountain Temple Fair, it happened that I met Li Mo again. He watched her calmly deal with the guests, and watched her smile while she was tired. He felt even more heart-stricken. This is what he wants from his wife. She looks beautiful and virtuous, decent, smart and capable, everything meets his requirements for his wife, but unfortunately, she has a husband.

But that time, he observed for three days and found that it was very likely that the lame countryman was her husband. He immediately felt troubled. He couldn't believe that such a beautiful woman should marry such a man. It was too bad.

After returning home, he still remembered. After seeing her in the town again, he asked someone to inquire about her. The news turned out that she was sold to the country and bought by the lame man in the country. A wife, that man is also a widower, and a son who is not sensible.

Such news ignited hope in his heart, she must not like the countryman, but she couldn't help herself and couldn't get rid of it.

If he could get rid of that countryman for her, would she be willing to follow him? Although he is not a rich man, he is also a small one. She has no worries about eating and drinking. After following him, she will live well. It is not a little bit better than the lame man in the country. Fools know how to choose. He Can't think of a reason why she would reject him.

Before he thought about what to do next, he didn't expect to see her again at the door of the shop tonight, so he couldn't help but reveal his thoughts to her.

Unexpectedly, she refused without hesitation with just a little bit of ambiguity.

Are you worried about being reserved, or are you really unwilling?

He believes it is the former.
