Chapter 548 Take a Breath
"So you have to be careful when picking them. If you pinch the flowers, they won't show their beautiful colors."
"Lipstick!" Lixia's eyes widened, her mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't react for a moment.
Others were also a little stunned.
They have been in the hands of the matchmaker for some time. Generally, after buying a person, the matchmaker will not sell her immediately. Instead, she will train her and take care of her so that she can be sold at a good price.
They had heard of lipstick before, and they could still remember clearly the matchmaker's expression and the exclamations she made when she talked about it.
That was something that all the ladies in the provincial capital were obsessed with! I heard that it was only sold in the shop run by the third son of Le Zheng, and it was not available anywhere else, not even in other places.
The reputation of this lipstick has spread to other places and has become even more popular.
No one knows where the third son of Le Zheng gets his lipstick from, but who would have thought that it came from this small flower field in Shaoding Village?
Everyone had a sense of unreality.
"Lipstick! Is it the lipstick sold in the provincial capital?"
Lixia's eyes widened, still unable to believe it.
The others nodded, full of doubt.
That’s right, this lipstick should not be the kind sold in the provincial capital, right?
Tao Tao's eyes were even wider than hers: "Besides our lipstick, are there any other things called lipstick?"
beginning of summer:"."
Is this true?!
The others gasped.
What an important master's house they have come to!
The master who can make lipstick will be rich in the near future! What's more, the fifth son is a scholar and will soon participate in the autumn examination.
Maybe you can become a high-ranking official in the future?
"Don't worry, young lady. I will pick these flowers carefully."
Lixia solemnly promised, and then added: "Once we step out of the flower field, I will never dare to say a word about it!"
The others also came to their senses and followed suit to express their opinions.
"So does this servant!"
"I promise to be careful too!"
Taotao blinked and looked at Yang Xiaoni, feeling a little helpless.
"Well, pick the flowers quickly!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Everyone was in high spirits and were very cautious. They wanted to concentrate and hold their breath, as if they were doing something very important.
After more than an hour, they had picked three baskets of apricot blossoms and one and a half baskets of peach blossoms. Qiao Xuan called for help and they went over.
Pick the petals, remove the stamens, wash them and drain them slightly, then put them into a small hand-pushed mill made of white jade. One person puts the petals in while the other turns the millstone.
There are four grinding wheels in total. Now that we have enough manpower, all of them can be used, and the speed is much faster than before.
The red flower pulp slowly flowed out, gathered into a thin stream, and flowed into the large-bellied, narrow-mouthed bowl below.
The bowl is covered with a small pocket made of double-layer fine cotton gauze.
The floral juice flows into a small bag. After grinding, gently twist the small bag and the floral juice will seep out. Filter it twice more and you will get clear floral juice.
The next work was completed by Qiao Xuan, Taotao and Yang Xiaoni in the house.
Yang Xiaoni wasn't very good at it, so she just helped out, and the main people involved were Qiao Xuan and Taotao.
After the molds are put on, they are left here to rest. There are a total of forty-six of them.
After demoulding and entering the tube, continue working.
The resting process takes about an hour, which is just enough time for me to go home for lunch.
It's time for a new update. Please support me by monthly tickets and subscriptions.
