"Master Xiao, the head chef at Shanhai Hot Pot, is a master chef in Fengchi County. Aunt Qin, a retired embroiderer from the palace, once embroidered a phoenix robe for the Empress, earning praise for her exquisite craftsmanship. Madam Xu, a master of makeup, is so skilled that many families invite her to do the bride's makeup when their daughters are getting married."
"Father Tang can weave bamboo threads as thin as a hair into exquisite handbags, and he's sought after by ladies all over the city. Boss Cao, with his unrivaled horizontal training skills, created his own Cao-style boxing style, earning him the nickname 'Cao Iron Fist'..."
Xue Huan looked at them one by one. Every person she called out felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't help but feel excited and even moved.
They didn't know they were so amazing, but after hearing what Miss Zhao said, they seemed really amazing.
"How could you, such outstanding people, not be qualified to teach the children? They should be proud to have teachers like you. Next, I would like to talk to each of you individually for a while. The others can do as they please. Madam Xu, please go first."
Xue Huan called Madam Xu first. Coincidentally, this Madam Xu was the one who had celebrated her birthday on the same day as Zhu Miaomiao and Xie Yun at Zhao Ji. Considering that it was already late and she had a daughter at home, she couldn't stay here overnight, so they finished the conversation early so they could send her back earlier.
Mrs. Xu's name was Xu Yin. She had a very good impression of Xue Huan. Although several months had passed, she still remembered the birthday cake Xue Huan gave to her and two other girls at Zhao Ji.
That was the first time in her memory that she had celebrated her birthday so formally and solemnly.
So when she unexpectedly received the invitation sent by Xue Huan this time, although she was very confused, she still came.
She followed Xue Huan into the inner room.
This room is much smaller than the outer room, only about ten square meters, but it is decorated in a warmer and more private way, and the overall color tone is very bright and lively.
"Sit down." Xue Huan made a gesture of invitation to Xu Yin and walked behind the desk.
"Don't be nervous, I won't eat people." She joked.
Xu Yin burst out laughing and indeed felt much more relaxed.
Xue Huan took out several bottles and jars from the drawer. These were all natural cosmetics and skin care products that she had made herself. There were more than a dozen colors of lip balm alone.
She showed them one by one to Xu Yin and introduced their functions. There were many things Xu Yin didn't know, and she was fascinated for a while.
"Sister Xu, do you want to give it a try?"
How could Xu Yin not think about it? She had already been attracted to Xue Huan when she introduced him to her.
She was originally proud of her makeup skills, but she didn't know that she was too narrow-minded. Many of the makeup looks that Miss Zhao mentioned just now were things she had never heard of or seen before. It showed how high her makeup skills were. Her level was nothing compared to hers.
Xue Huan took out a bronze mirror. The surface of the mirror was polished very smoothly and could clearly reflect a person's face.
Under Xue Huan's guidance, Xu Yin first went through a skin care routine, and then put on makeup in front of the mirror. As the two chatted about makeup techniques, their relationship unknowingly became closer.
Finally, looking at herself in the mirror, Xu Yin felt incredible. Is this her? Is it a different face? The face is still the same, but she looks several years younger!
But the makeup is not heavy at all, on the contrary it looks very refreshing and natural, and the makeup does not feel heavy at all.
Seeing her satisfied expression, Xue Huan said, "Sister Xu, if you agree to come to our school to be a teacher, you only need to teach four classes a month. Each class takes half an hour, and the monthly salary is two taels, including food and accommodation. The dormitory conditions we provide for teachers are very good. I will take you there to see it later. The school will reimburse medical expenses and round-trip travel expenses, and there are various benefits during the New Year holidays..."
She introduced the teacher's benefits and concluded, "The most important thing is that you can use these cosmetics as you please and never have to buy them again. I will also continue to develop new cosmetics in the future, and you will be able to experience them firsthand."
In this era, people value "cherishing one's own things". If you master any technology, you will not easily pass it on to outsiders.
Xu Yin was born into a family of beauticians, who have been in the beautician business for generations. Beautician is the process of applying makeup to the bride's face on her wedding day.
Since she was a child, Xu Yin followed her grandmother to various houses to put makeup on brides. She was influenced by her grandmother and over time she developed superb makeup skills.
Originally, Grandma Xu wanted to pass on her makeup skills to her son, but Xu Yin's father had occupational discrimination and thought that makeup was something only women could do, so he refused to learn it. However, Xu Yin had a high talent in this area, so Grandma Xu had no choice but to pass on her makeup skills to her granddaughter instead of her son.
In order to prevent the Xu family's makeup art from being lost, when Xu Yin reached the age to get married, Grandma Xu made a decision not to marry her granddaughter off, but to let her find a husband!
If my granddaughter gets married, even if she passes on her makeup skills, it will be like making wedding dresses for another family.
And if she were to find a son-in-law, then the children born by her granddaughter, whether they were boys or girls, would all have the surname Xu, and the art of makeup would not be broken!
Xu Yin herself did not attach much importance to inheritance. She was very tempted by the various benefits described by Xue Huan, especially the last one. For a makeup expert, cosmetics are her life!
But grandma would never agree to her coming here to be a teacher and teach the Xu family's makeup skills to so many "outsiders".
Xue Huan also knew something about the Xu family's situation. Seeing her hesitation, she knew what she was worried about. "Are you afraid your grandmother won't agree?"
Xu Yin was a little surprised that she even knew this, but she didn't think much about it. "Well, my grandmother wanted me to pass on the Xu family makeup skills, and she would never agree to me teaching makeup to others."
"What if you came here to 'steal' my skills?"
"Um?"
"You wanted to learn more makeup techniques from me, and when you learned I was a teacher here, you applied and became my assistant, trying to learn from me. But because you were afraid I'd find out, you had to diligently play the role of assistant and teach those students. What do you think of this excuse?"
Xue Huan gave Xu Yin a mischievous smile.
After Xu Yin left, Aunt Qin and Aunt Qin Yuanniang walked in.
In fact, the first needlework teacher Xue Huan thought of was her mother, but she was afraid that her mother would recognize her after close contact. Although her disguise was successful, no one has yet connected her with her original identity.
But mothers usually have a strange feeling about their daughters. Even though her appearance has changed a lot, it is possible that her mother will become suspicious after seeing her.
So to be on the safe side, she changed her candidate.
