"In ancient times, the production process was to first make a scented wine with two spices, cloves and patchouli. Then, clean cotton without impurities was selected and placed in the slightly scalded wine to absorb the flavor of the spices in the cotton."
When Ji Nianqin returned to the beauty salon, she found that it was crowded with people. The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince were working in the front, while the counselors were busy painting.
"In summer, the absorption time is one day and one night, while in winter, it's three days and three nights. Once fully soaked, remove the cotton and spices, add the butter to the fragrant wine, and bring to a high heat. Add more butter fat each time it boils. After a few boils, remove from the heat and simmer gently. Slowly add red pigment made from cinnabar and stir evenly with green oil. After extinguishing the fire, let it cool naturally."
"Wow, that looks amazing."
"Yes, look at the rosy red that has formed. It is delicate, bright, and fragrant."
"Yes, this is the lip balm women love."
Unexpectedly, just as Ji Nianqin was about to continue telling a little story about lipstick after the counselor, she saw someone stuffing a dollar into the big box in front of her.
Then, the counselor actually shouted, "Those who have money, please support us financially, and those who don't, please support us with your popularity. Let's make us more popular on this street."
“Nonsense!!”
Ji Nianqin angrily threw away the goblet and alcohol lamp in the counselor's hands. "We are a beauty salon, not a street performer. You are not studying brooms now, but preparing innovative cosmetics is commendable, but lip balm is mainly used to prevent chapped lips from freezing, not for you to show off your skills. Everyone, please go away. Also, hang up the banner given to me. It was given to me by my grandparents."
"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Ji? You're back?"
When the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince saw this, they immediately extinguished the flames on their lips.
"It's scalding me."
The Sixth Prince immediately stood up and asked Ji Nianqin to sit down, while the Crown Prince was still standing there with his mouth wide open. He didn't expect that quite a few people would take photos with him.
"You should do good things, not teach others bad things. What you said is basically correct, and it's all based on historical records, but the ingredients you used are wrong. Look at the cloves and patchouli. You used peppercorns and aniseed instead. And the butter you used at the beginning, you used cheap rapeseed oil, especially cinnabar. You used brown sugar, and cotton instead of gauze. The worst thing is, it's autumn, not winter. The absorption time in spring and autumn is two days and two nights. Also, it's green oil, not highland barley wine."
“Click!”
Before Ji Nianqin could finish her speech, the prince burped loudly at her.
"You drank? Who let him drink?"
"Sixth Prince, let's go out and distribute flyers. I won't stay in this room anymore. I'll go out with you. You promote, and I'll stay by your side while I continue to invent."
"That's absolutely right. Mr. Ji, the banner has been hung in the most conspicuous place for you. Let's get busy."
The Sixth Prince and his counselor felt that the situation was not good. Since they were under someone else's roof, they had to bow their heads. They decided to move to another roof to stay for a while.
"What is this? Sixth Prince."
"They're supposed to be warm clothes. Look at the sign above. It says they give away caffeine when you buy a down jacket. No, they say they give away coffee. Because the weather is getting cooler, you're right, strategist. We're already preparing for winter."
"Sixth Prince, I'm cold, can you buy me one..."
