Chapter 508 I said I have a father, and my father is a general
Bai Qiaoniang and Bai Wanwan were stopped by Lin Dasheng as soon as they entered the rouge shop.
Lin Dasheng looked at them and said, "What do you want to do? We don't welcome you in our Rouge Shop, you two unlucky things."
Bai Qiaoniang sneered, "How can you open a shop and not let customers in?"
Lin Dasheng stared at Zhao Qiaoniang blankly and said:
"Qiao Niang, it doesn't have to be like this. As long as you bow your head and admit your mistakes, I will still treat you the same as before.
I know you still have me in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't come to see me in this rouge shop."
Bai Qiaoniang took two steps back in fear and said, "Lin Dasheng, if you have a mental illness, go get treatment. I just happened to be passing by here and wanted to come in and take a look."
Bai Wanwan couldn't help but laugh and said, "My father is handsome, suave, and a great general. My mother wouldn't look down on someone like you!"
Lin Dasheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you say?"
Bai Wanwan shouted, "I told you I have a father, and he's a great general. Don't even think about it."
Lin Dasheng rushed over and grabbed Bai Qiaoniang's hand and said, "What does she mean by that? You actually found a man..."
Sun Mei next to him said, "Second Uncle, she just wants to provoke you. Just relying on Zhao Qiaoniang, she still wants to find a general, don't dream."
Old Mrs. Lin yelled at the top of her voice:
"Think carefully! Only a money-losing idiot like you is talking nonsense here!
With Zhao Qiaoniang's conditions, could she possibly marry the general? Unless the general was blind!
Zhao Qiaoniang, it's not impossible for you to come back to our house. Send this disaster away and then marry in with the money you earn.
I'll let my son give you a co-wife, and don't dream of anything else. What do you think?"
Zhao Qiaoniang snorted coldly, "Who wants to be your daughter-in-law? Don't you already have a daughter-in-law?"
Bai Qian walked over slowly and said softly:
"Are you jealous, sister? If you really want to come back, I can give you the position of the eldest room.
Dasheng has always had you in his heart, and he always thinks of you..."
Lin Dasheng looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and said:
"Since Bai Qian has said so, I will come to your door in a few days to propose marriage.
As for the betrothal gift, forget it, we are already an old married couple."
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her and said sarcastically, "I never thought you would be so generous and willing to share a husband with someone else. This idea is really noble!"
Bai Qian smiled faintly and said:
"It's not that noble, is it? I just think the most important thing is for the three of us to live a good life.
Besides, these three children are Lin Dasheng’s after all.”
Bai Qian didn't really want Zhao Qiaoniang to marry in, it was just that Zhao Qiaoniang was too powerful.
She smiled and said, "But there are conditions for you to marry in. The Jinxiu Cloth Shop must be used as a betrothal gift. What do you think?"
Bai Qiaoniang smiled helplessly: "Your family is really good at calculating people. Do you want me to give you a few tens of thousands of taels of silver as a dowry?"
Lin Dachang's eyes lit up: "Really? Then we'll get married tomorrow..."
Bai Qiaoniang looked at their shameless faces and said, "You're dreaming. Wanwan, let's go! These people are crazy about money."
Lin Dasheng said angrily:
"What do you mean? Don't take Qiao, or I'll deal with you when you come back.
In other words, they are generous. In fact, my brother, sister-in-law, parents and I are pretty nice people.
You must be magnanimous after you enter this room and stop causing trouble all day long, understand?"
Bai Qiaoniang took Bai Wanwan away from them. Bai Wanwan walked to a shop not far away and said, "This shop is having something for sale, and it's much bigger than theirs."
Bai Qiaoniang glared at her and said, "You bought a shop right across from them, don't you think it's unlucky?"
Bai Wanwan smiled and said, "I'm planning to open a rouge shop too! What if my rouge shop is better than theirs?"
"You little girl, you have always had so many ideas since you were young. Just buy whatever you want!" Bai Qiaoniang looked at her lovingly.
As soon as they stepped into the shop, they were amazed by the spacious space.
It covers an area of two floors, more than twice the size of the shop opposite, making it perfect for opening a rouge shop.
Bai Wanwan walked around the store and became more and more satisfied as she looked.
What was even more surprising was that such a good shop only cost eight thousand taels, so the two of them bought the shop without saying a word.
As soon as they left the shop, Bai Qiaoniang couldn't help but worry: "Wanwan, you can't even make rouge, how are you going to manage such a big shop?"
Bai Wanwan patted her chest confidently, "Mom, don't worry! Even though I've never made rouge before, this isn't a difficult task for me."
It turned out that Bai Wanwan studied medicine in her previous life and often wrote research reports for cosmetics companies. She had come into contact with many Chinese herbal formulas and was very familiar with the ins and outs of making rouge.
Not only rouge, what kind of cosmetics can't be made?
As soon as she got home, Bai Wanwan got busy.
She called over a few capable assistants, worked hard to write more than 30 rouge recipes, and directed them to grind various herbs into powder.
Mrs. Bai stood by, watching her busying herself, and couldn't help but mutter, "Wanwan, is this really going to work? Can these recipes you mentioned really make good rouge?"
Bai Wanwan didn't even raise her head, but her hands didn't stop moving:
"Grandma, just wait and see!
I use only high-quality medicinal herbs in this recipe, and the rouge I make is guaranteed to be both beautiful and nourishing to the skin."
This is just the beginning. She plans to replicate the lip balm, face powder, and eyebrow pencil commonly seen in modern times in ancient times, and turn this two-story shop into the most comprehensive beauty store.
While mixing the ingredients, she explained to the waiter:
"Our rouge is not only beautiful in color, but also contains medicinal herbs such as rose and angelica, which can nourish the skin when applied on the face.
Lip balm is more sophisticated, using beeswax and almond oil as a base, and then adding different flower juices to create seven or eight colors.
And this scented powder, mixed with osmanthus and jasmine, is so fragrant and breathable when applied to your face." The staff gradually became interested, some volunteering to help grind the herbs, while others experimented with mixing new colors.
Bai Wanwan spends every day in the workshop, either adjusting the recipe proportions or figuring out how to make the packaging more refined.
She knew that these cosmetics, which are common in modern times, were rare things in ancient times. As long as they were made, there would be no shortage of customers.
Bai Qiaoniang watched her daughter sprinkle flower petals into the powder and couldn't help but say, "With so many different designs, what if they can't sell?"
Bai Wanwan nodded and said:
"Mom, look at the girls in the city nowadays, which one doesn't care about dressing up?
Our products are both practical and affordable, so we guarantee a booming business.”
Bai Wanwan took out a palm-sized cloth bag from the wooden box and untied the knot. Inside, several dark blue sticks were neatly arranged. "This is the Luozidai I made. It's different from the ones on the market."
She picked up a piece and gently turned it in her palm. "You said before that the authentic Luozidai was too expensive, so I thought of improving the method. The materials used are not so sophisticated, but the eyebrows are still colorful."
She picked up the small porcelain dish beside her, poured some clean water into it, dipped the snail ink in the water, and lightly brushed it with a fine brush, spreading the blue-black pigment evenly.
"You see, the eyebrows drawn in this way are natural and long-lasting.
I tried several recipes before coming up with this one, thinking that if I could make it cheaper, I’d be able to sell more.”
