"But I think this porcelain box is a collaboration with you, my brother-in-law. Why not just ask him directly? He can then find someone to make it in the capital."
Cheng Yue explained.
The founding empress of Da Qi was a time traveler, who made Da Qi develop very well and did not decline for at least a hundred years.
For example, this senior time traveler should know smelting technology!
However, apart from farm tools and kitchen knives, the common people rarely use iron in other things.
In this era, all blacksmith shops had to report to the government office, and the names of which families made which agricultural tools would also be recorded.
Therefore, Cheng Yue still doesn’t know whether there is iron wire in Da Qi.
"Ayue, can you draw what you said?"
Tao Yunchuan asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
He knew it, he knew his sixth sense was right.
"sure!"
Cheng Yue nodded.
After getting the things, Cheng Yue picked up the pen and started painting.
Recently she has been using the brushes she made herself, but suddenly she changed to a brush. She finished the second picture before she even finished the first one.
In Tao Yunchuan's opinion, Cheng Yue might have felt that something was wrong with the first picture, so she made some minor modifications before drawing the second one.
"Sister, brother-in-law, look, this is the place where a buckle is formed. Iron or copper is fine, but it's best to use iron for the connection here, as it's sturdy. The deep side is for the cream, and the shallow side can be inlaid with a small mirror. By the way, the cream is used to wipe your face. If you don't know, just ask sister. I just gave it to her and explained how to use it. This box is just one type. There must be another one. The side for the cream is divided into two compartments, and I want to put things in it. I will mark the size on the drawing I give to you."
Cheng Yue pointed at the drawing and said to Tao Yunchuan.
"Right! Why didn't I think of that? You can put a small mirror in here. When a girl goes out, especially in hot weather like this, she'd definitely want to know if her sweat ruined her makeup! You can put some rouge and powder underneath!"
Tao Yunchuan slapped his head in annoyance.
He comforted himself in his heart, you are a man, you don’t think too much when you go out, and you seldom look in the mirror at home.
"Yes, that was my original intention. It's not just for hot weather, it can be used in other seasons as well. Think about it, brother-in-law, the target group for the sale of rouge and powder is mostly girls from wealthy families. They have to attend various banquets, and who knows what will happen? Especially in certain occasions, they will definitely want to see it again and again. What the maid says is not as reassuring as seeing it yourself. This one is small, so you can put it in your purse or sleeve!"
Cheng Yue didn't expect Tao Yunchuan to think of this, and said with some excitement.
"Hahaha, it turns out that girls understand girls better. Don't worry, Yue, the blacksmith I know, Master Jin, can do this. You just need to draw the drawings, and I will take care of the later production!"
Tao Yunchuan laughed.
"Thank you so much, brother-in-law!"
Cheng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, the problem with the box was solved.
Then she has to come up with the styles of a batch of boxes tonight and tomorrow, especially the patterns, and let Tao Yunchuan make a batch first.
With large-scale production, there is no need to worry about shortages or out-of-stock situations.
This is a big project!
