Chapter 274 The New Skin Cream
Zhang Qiuhe, who was standing to the side, said with a smile: "Perhaps it was planted by Old Master Feng in the past. His family used to be in the medicinal herb business."
Aunt Zhou suddenly realized.
However, Zhang Qiuhe was only half right. Old Master Feng did indeed grow a lot of medicinal herbs on the estate, but because the estate had been neglected for a long time, most of the herbs had died.
It was thanks to Du Wanchun's meticulous care these past few days that these medicinal herbs have all come back to life.
Aunt Zhou knew some simple medicinal herbs. When she was in the palace, she had studied anti-aging methods with the imperial physicians for a period of time.
Seeing these medicinal herbs, she was overjoyed. "Wanchun, we can add some medicinal herbs to the balm."
Du Wanchun squatted down, plucked a stalk, and said, "Okay, Mother, I'll do whatever you say."
Aunt Zhou quickly grabbed a basket to pick the fruit.
The harvested medicinal herbs also need to be dried.
Aunt Zhou devoted herself to this task, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, she and Du Wanchun created their first bottle of anti-aging balm.
Aunt Zhou quickly took it and tried it out, applying it to her own hand first.
Back in the palace, she never lifted a finger, but after coming to Changliu Village, her hands had become withered and dry.
After using the ointment for a month, Aunt Zhou noticed an amazing change in her hands.
Early in the morning, Aunt Zhou called out to Du Wanchun with a smile, "Wanchun, come and take a look at my hands."
Upon hearing this, Du Wanchun hurried over to see, and found that Aunt Zhou's hands had become white and tender.
A smile appeared between her brows. "Mother, this balm is really effective."
“Yes, it’s better than the ones I used to use in the palace.” Aunt Zhou nodded with a smile. “Wanchun, let’s make these and sell them.”
Du Wanchun held the perfume in her hand, looking at it again and again. "Mother, let's not call this perfume anymore, let's call it skin-beautifying cream."
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, let's call it Beauty Cream."
After deciding on the name, the two made dozens more jars and put them in rouge shops to sell.
The rouge shop had newly made rouge and skin cream, and the shelves were piled high.
Du Wanchun specially placed a sign for the skin cream at the entrance of the shop, and she and Aunt Zhou were there to keep watch that day.
The woman named Xu at the teahouse was the first customer to come here.
Hearing that Du Wanchun was selling skin cream, she abandoned her business and rushed over: "Wanchun, I heard that you and your aunt made a new skin cream, so I came to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Du Wanchun smiled and took out a bottle, saying, "Madam Xu, why don't you try it?"
Madam Xu sat down in front of her, extended her hand and said, "Alright, try it on my hand first."
Du Wanchun scooped up a little skin cream and spread it on the back of her hand.
The ointment worked very quickly; Xu Niangzi's hands, which had been dry and peeling, became smooth immediately after the ointment was applied.
Looking at her smooth hand, Madam Xu covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Wanchun, your ointment is really amazing! My hand feels so much softer after just one application!"
She touched the back of her hand, overjoyed.
Du Wanchun smiled gently and said, "Madam Xu, if you like, you can buy some to try."
Madam Xu quickly replied with a smile, "Wanchun, how much is this bottle of skin cream?"
Du Wanchun held up her finger and said, "About fifty coins."
The skin cream is much cheaper than the previous perfume balm.
Even the fastest-acting skin-beautifying cream isn't as effective as a perfumed balm.
If it's too expensive, ordinary people won't be able to continue buying it, and then the effects won't be achieved.
The product was ineffective and could not be resold afterward.
So she planned to sell this newly made skin cream for fifty coins, and wait a few months until the effects were visible. Then she would add some other flower petals to make it a completely new skin cream, and then raise the price.
It looks brand new, but it's actually just the original skin cream with a new package.
