The female protagonist, Lin Ziyan, was an aquaculture PhD and a double major in ship design in her past life. She was reborn into the body of a girl from a small fishing village in Fuzhou.
Ju...
If she were her great-aunt's daughter, she should be in her sixties by now.
The person in front of her looked to be only forty, possibly even younger than her.
Her great-aunt was about the same age as her father, and seemed more like her father's older sister.
Yun Ying observed them silently, her thoughts drifting away.
Yi Ting was responsible for introducing the store layout and promoting the main skincare products, etc.
The four-pan eyeshadow palette that Lin Ziyan wanted to add was placed in the most prominent position in the store.
"Ah Yan, why is there white in this eyeshadow?" Ah Tai asked suspiciously, picking up the sample to examine it closely.
It was definitely white; she had thought she was seeing things.
Lin Yan Guan has a makeup area, but it's quite small; the main area is skincare.
Skin nourishing cream, whitening cream, makeup remover, skin repair lotion, etc.
The repair cream is of pharmaceutical grade and has the effects of fading spots and fine lines, and has a special repair function for scars.
When the imperial concubine used it, she named it "Scar-Soothing Cream".
"Wait a moment." Lin Ziyan tried it herself.
She applied a light base makeup with the store's foundation, then used a brow pencil to draw her eyebrows, and when she got to the eyeshadow palette, she deliberately applied it to one side first...
When the final result was presented, Yi Ting's eyes widened, and she almost gasped in surprise.
Yun Ying's eyes brightened slightly; the white eyeshadow wasn't applied to the eye socket, but rather to brighten it.
Grandma nodded, "It really does look good after using it."
She turned and glanced at the scar-reducing cream, now that only the repair lotion was on, and her eyes darkened.
Grandpa almost burned the recipe; Grandma secretly kept it.
Because of this repair lotion, Grandpa was given thirty lashes.
The innermost part of Lin Yan Pavilion is also a tea room, where various health teas are available, and small packages of eight-treasure tea are displayed and sold.
Lin's business is in the pharmaceutical cosmetics industry, and many of their skincare products use medicinal herbs as raw materials.
Mu Fang didn't go into the tea room with them, but instead showed great interest in the repair lotion.
"It can fade scars..." she muttered softly.
My daughter has a scar on her eyebrow, and she's been looking for a scar removal cream.
She picked up a jar and examined its ingredients closely. It was all medicinal herbs. Was this a cosmeceutical?
Mu Fang walked into the tea room with the repair lotion in her hand.
When Yunying saw her walk in, she paused for a few seconds, feeling a strange sense of closeness.
She wasn't the only one who felt this way; Yi Ting did too.
Grandma said, "I was so busy looking at the shop that I forgot to introduce it to you."
But upon closer inspection, I probably don't need to introduce it.
"Sakurako, don't you think she looks like someone?"
Yun Ying pursed her lips and nodded, "She looks like my great-aunt."
Yi Ting and Yi Lanying exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
"Yes, it's her daughter." The old lady's eyes softened, and her brows and eyes smiled.
“No, Auntie’s children must be quite old…” Yunying couldn’t help but say.
Mu Fang placed the repair lotion on the table. "I am the youngest daughter of the Mu family. My mother only had me after my brother went missing..."
She wasn't in a hurry to ask about the repair cream anymore, so she simply gave a brief overview of the Mu family's situation.
Lin Ziyan and Atai got up and left the tea room, leaving the space to them.
…
At this time, customers began to enter the store, many of whom were older.
Su Nan was choosing skincare products, and she was very curious about the Lin family's skincare products.
Her mother is currently in the beauty area, having a sales assistant apply her makeup.
My mother took a liking to a four-panel eyeshadow palette with white eyeshadow.
With the opening of Lin Yan Pavilion, Fu Yuan became a bit quieter, but the old customers still came as usual.
"I'll pick out some repair lotion to take back later. I won't do it myself. It's always good to have some on hand. One jar will be enough to heal Xiaoxiao's forehead scar," Grandma said softly, picking up the porcelain jar and gently rubbing it with her fingertips.
With the shop open, she felt at ease and no longer lived in fear.
Before the Lin family fled to Fu City, foreigners came to their door wanting to buy the Lin family's recipe. After being refused, they sent people to cause trouble at the Lin Yan Pavilion every day.
The Lin family was forced to leave; those people won't give up until they get the formula.
"Hmm, Sister Fang probably needed some too. Little Peach bumped her eyebrow and now has a scar..." Lin Ziyan put several bottles of repair lotion into the basket.
The shop has bamboo baskets for customers to use when they fill up their purchases and pay at the cashier.
These bamboo baskets are printed with the Lin Yan Pavilion logo, distinguishing them from the baskets from Fu Yuan.
"You just said that this repair lotion can also remove scars?" Su Nan suddenly asked, very excited.
Grandma laughed and said, "You must be Old Su's granddaughter?"
She recognized it at a glance; it was the Su family's bracelet.
This bracelet was only passed down to the women of the Su family; her mother also had one.
Lin Ziyan: "Grandma, this is Su Nan, the current manager of Fuyuan."
"Miss Su, we meet again."
Su Nan nodded to A Tai, eager to know the effects of the repair lotion.
Seeing her eager eyes, the old lady directly explained the effects of the repair lotion.
She was being a little conservative in her statement, leaving room for interpretation.
The product packaging description also reflects this, after all, the Lin family suffered a great loss because of it.
The foreigner who coveted the Lin family's formula wanted this repair lotion formula the most.
To avoid trouble, the Lin family simply stopped production and sealed away the formula.
"Thank you." Su Nan politely thanked him, put the jars of repair lotion into the bamboo basket, and left.
Her mentor is currently looking for an effective scar removal cream because his wife has very noticeable scars from a car accident, and she is unwilling to have surgery.
Now, the teacher's wife has become very strange; she locks herself in her room all day and doesn't go out.
Su Nan was excited. After leaving Lin Yan's residence, she asked the driver to take her to Tengshi University.
The sky was high and the clouds were light; the temperature in Fuji City in the afternoon was even lower than in the morning.
Despite wearing a cashmere scarf, Su Nan was still shivering from the cold.
Professor Devin lives in a separate two-story staff building, which is separate from the other faculty and staff buildings.
Fujishi University spared no expense to recruit him as a teacher, offering him top-tier benefits in all aspects.
Su Nan arrived at Diwen's door and rang the doorbell.
The door opened quickly; it was a servant from the Devon family who opened it.
Su Nan's eyes darkened slightly. Had his mentor's wife argued with his mentor again?
After the car accident, the teacher's wife's mood was always unpredictable.
The situation eased somewhat when she came to visit.
"Su, you're here." Devin pushed up his glasses, his embarrassment still undisguised.
Su Nan walked straight to the sofa, sat down, and placed the repair lotion on the table.
"Take a look, is this the medicated repair lotion you wanted?"
"To be precise, it's a scar removal cream."
Su Nan briefly explained the usage and function that Lin Atai had mentioned.
"It also has another name, scar-reducing cream."
A dark glint flashed in Devon's blue eyes, but a gentle smile appeared on his face.
He suppressed his excitement, unpacked the package, and saw the porcelain jar as before; his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Su Nan lowered her eyes, picked up the coffee the maid had just brought and drank it, not noticing his strange behavior.
Devon's heart was screaming, "After searching for so long in Teng City, I've finally found it!"
This is exactly the same scar-reducing cream that my grandfather brought back to Y country; it has an orchid scent and a medicinal smell.
He asked the research institute to analyze its components, but so far there has been no progress.
