Chapter 33 Facial Cream
After agreeing with Uncle Li that he would get paid for each box he delivered, Tang Yue went home.
Tang Yue went to the Cheng Commune today, and planned to go again tomorrow. She also brought a few boxes of facial cream to Brother Hu, asking him to find some to try.
Tang Yue was very confident, after all, she added a drop of spiritual water into it. She entered the space from the bedroom, took the cream and took a look at it. She took a little with her fingers and applied it on her hands to try. It was quite moisturizing and had a medicinal fragrance.
When the boxes were delivered, Tang Yue gave the ones the villagers wanted first, and then she had to think about the appropriate selling price. The Harry oil sold by the supply and marketing cooperative was 10 cents a shell, and the vanishing cream was more than two yuan a box. Finally, Tang Yue decided to sell it at two yuan a box. Although it was a bit expensive in this era, Tang Yue still wanted to sell it at a low price.
Tang Yue came to the backyard, grabbed a handful of green leaves to feed the chickens, and returned to the bedroom to make two beds. She took the cloth from the space warehouse and cut it directly into three meters by four meters. She then took the sewing machine and sewed three sides, one meter on each side of the outermost side. In the middle, Tang Yue sewed some buttons with a needle. By the time it was almost time for lunch, the two beds were sewn.
First go to the space, take the sheets to the river, wash them, and hang them in the yard. If the weather outside is really bad, use the space, and put all the drying racks in the yard, including the winnowing vegetables and dried peppers on the drying racks, into the space, and let them dry slowly in the space.
The chili peppers drying in the space yard have all dried up. They are all ground into chili powder using machines, then packed into 100-jin plastic barrels and placed in the space warehouse.
Tang Yue sat on the kang after entering the space, took the rice and vegetables from the space to eat lunch, cleaned the table after eating, washed her hands, and took the wool she had wound two days ago to knit a sweater.
Taking the knitting needles from the space, she started with 200 stitches. Tang Yue knew what pattern she was going to knit, so she knitted a six-centimeter-long lower stitch first, then increased the number of stitches to 220, all plain stitches. If she changed to other colors, she would knit a solid-color sweater.
By the time Tang Yue came to her senses after being startled by the knock on the door, it was already dark. She hurried over to open the door. It was Uncle Li, carrying a backpack and a sack in his hands. It was obvious that he was delivering a box.
"Uncle Li, come in quickly. I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly." I welcomed her into the living room and made her a cup of tea.
"It's already quite fast. At the beginning we had to saw the wood first. Now that the wood is ready, we can start working directly from now on. It will be faster." While saying this, his hands were busy as he placed the boxes on the table one by one.
Tang Yue looked at the boxes on the table and was really amazed. There were really all kinds of colors. She wanted to collect all the boxes, let alone others.
"Uncle Li made this beautiful thing," Tang Yue said as she took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it to Uncle Li.
"As long as you are satisfied, I'll leave first." Uncle Li took the ten yuan, looked at Tang Yue's inspection, and left first.
Tang Yue sent Uncle Li to the door, locked the door and went into the living room, put all the boxes into the space, then went to the bedroom, entered the space from the bedroom, took the box and put it on the dining table in the living room, then took the pottery jar filled with face cream from the warehouse, opened the lid of the box, and took the dagger and a spoon found in the valley from the warehouse.
Knowing that the dagger was very sharp, he took a wooden stick from the kitchen and used the dagger to sharpen it. He found that it broke in one stroke. Tang Yue then thought of why the hole in the valley was so smooth. Perhaps the original owner had used the dagger to smooth it. The dagger was so sharp that it could be used for self-defense.
Use a spoon to scoop the cream out of the pottery jar, put it in a box, and then use a dagger to smooth the surface. The inside of each box is smooth, and the cream in one pottery jar is not even full of 100 boxes.
Take the medicinal materials from the warehouse and grind them into powder, then continue to boil them in the furnace. Also add a drop of spiritual water. After the cream is boiled, put the pottery jar aside and wait for it to cool down before packing it.
The table was filled with more than 50 boxes. Those filled with facial cream were capped and put into the warehouse first.
I ate some food to get by with dinner, washed my hands, filled the remaining 40-odd boxes, put them in the warehouse, put the rest in a plastic bucket, put it aside, and continued to grind the powder to make the face cream.
When I got tired, I would take a break, walk outside the yard, and see that the crops I had planted this time were ripe. I would collect them into space with my mind, and plant one acre of each kind of flower seeds in front, and plant the seedlings and seeds of medicinal herbs I had collected outside, about one acre of each kind, and continue to plant crops on the rest of the land.
After finishing the farm work, I continued to make the facial cream until all the herbs needed for this recipe were ready and filled two 100-jin plastic buckets. I will continue making it next time, but I will only make more after the herbs are mature. Medicinal herbs take a little longer than food, maybe more than a month or two.
Put the two barrels of face cream into the warehouse, go back to the bedroom from the space, go to the kitchen to boil water in the pot, remove the iron sheet in the middle, put water in the other pot, but don't boil it. The water will be hot after one night. When the water is boiled, go to the bedroom to find clothes, fetch water to the bathroom to take a shower, wash the clothes after taking a shower, and put them in the space to dry later. Continue to put cold water in the pot, cover it, put firewood in the stove, and throw a few coal blocks in. The kang will be warm after one night.
Tang Yue went into the space to dry some clothes and then came out, lying in the warm bed, sleeping very comfortably.
The next day, when Tang Yue got up, she found it was very cold. She looked out the window and found it was snowing. No wonder it was so cold. She quickly took out warm clothes from the space and put them on. She also took out her newly made cotton-padded clothes, deerskin boots, gloves and a hat. Finally, it was not so cold anymore.
I scooped hot water from the kitchen pot, brushed my teeth and washed my face, then quickly applied skin care products, and then took a cup of spiritual water from the space to drink, doubly protecting my skin.
I took a cake from the space and some bone soup, and that was it for today's breakfast. I took a backpack from the space, put 50 boxes of facial cream in it, locked the door, and walked towards Aunt Guihua's house.
Arriving at Aunt Guihua's house, the door was not closed, and she walked in while shouting, "Aunt, I'm here", "It's Yue girl, come in quickly", Tang Yue walked in, and saw that the kang in Aunt Guihua's house was full of people, all working, some were sewing shoe soles, some were embroidering insoles, "Hello, aunties", "Tang Zhiqing is here, the face wiper I told you about last time, are you ready", the aunties were very enthusiastic when they saw Tang Yue.
"It's ready. This time I brought the face cream specially for you aunts. Don't blame me for bringing it to you so late. I'm collecting herbs right now. I'll bring it to you as soon as it's ready," Tang Yue said as she took the box from the backpack and put it on the kang to show the aunts.
Sure enough, the aunts' eyes lit up after seeing it. It was very beautiful just by looking at the appearance. Tang Yue opened a box for the aunts to try. The aunts' skin on their hands was too rough, and they felt very moisturized after applying it. They were all surprised by the good effect.
"Tang Zhiqing, this thing you made is better than that vanishing cream. How much is a box?" As soon as you hear the voice, you can tell that the person has used vanishing cream. Only by comparison will he think the price is expensive.
"Aunts, I originally sold it for two yuan a box. If you buy two boxes, I will charge you three yuan, which is a discount for you. If you buy from outside, I will charge less." Tang Yue gave a small discount just because she saw that the family was from the same team.
"Tang Zhiqing, is your skin really as good after using it?" Tang Yue guaranteed that her face was the most important thing because she drank the spiritual water.
"Aunt, I can't promise you this, but I guarantee that after you use it, your skin color will be better than it is now. If you use one box and see no effect, bring the box to me and I'll refund you the money, but you must really use it. You can't say that it works for other women but not for you." Tang Yue was very confident in the effect of the spiritual water.
When the aunts heard Tang Yuexia's assurance, they all bought it. After all, everyone loves beauty, even if they are in their seventies or eighties.
Seeing that the aunts had all bought it, Tang Yue quickly told them when to use it, "Aunts, apply this cream on your face after washing your face in the morning, and before going to bed at night. Just wash your face and then apply this cream. I guarantee that you will notice the effect after using it for a week."
Tang Yue dared to guarantee the effect, one reason was that they had never used these things before, and the other was that the cream contained spiritual water, which had the effect of cleansing the marrow. Now it was made into a cream and applied on the face, which was equivalent to cleansing the marrow on the face, but it had no effect. In addition, the original prescription was presented to the palace.
After hearing Tang Yue's assurance, the aunts thought that two bottles would be cheaper by a few cents, so they bought two bottles each, and finally sold 18 boxes for a total of 31.5 yuan. Tang Yue kept the money and put it in his pocket.
"Aunts, how do you spend the winter? It's only November now, and there's still so much time until spring comes. What do you usually do to pass the time?" Tang Yue was really curious about this. She still had a space, and the work in it could give her time. What did the aunts do at home?
When Aunt Guihua heard what Tang Yue said, she said, "There are so many things to do. I have to make shoes for the whole family. I have to make shoes for the whole day. I have to make durable shoes, especially cloth shoes, which are durable and have to sew soles. The children also need new clothes. If they don't have new clothes, I have to make new clothes out of my old clothes. I also have to serve the whole family, so I never have time to spare."
Tang Yue was actually envious. Her aunts were so busy at home, and she only had one child. After she got married, she would definitely have more children to make the house lively.
