The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the Lin residence was already bustling with activity.
After having breakfast, Lin's parents hurried to the clothing shop.
Lin Yun and Lin Feng stayed at the mansion, preparing to move the rouge workshop to the new shop.
In the courtyard, the shopkeeper Chen Fugui had already led everyone in a line to wait.
Seeing Lin Yun approach, he immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Young Master, Young Miss, everyone is here. Please give your instructions."
Lin Yun nodded, her gaze sweeping over the crowd. Seeing their spirits high, she was very satisfied.
She turned to Lin Feng and said, "Brother, take Zhang Ping'an, Wang Defa, and the six workers to the workshop first and move the materials and tools to the new shop."
Let Manager Chen familiarize himself with purchasing; you'll need to learn a lot from him in other matters. If there's a shortage, just replenish it directly.
It was the first time Lin Feng had been called "Young Master" and entrusted with such an important task, and he was immediately overjoyed.
He straightened his back and replied calmly, "Don't worry, sister, I'll arrange it right away."
He turned and waved to the crowd, "Please follow me." Although he tried his best to keep his voice steady, a hint of nervousness still came through.
Chen Fugui was incredibly astute; he immediately noticed Lin Feng's nervousness.
He pretended not to know and respectfully said, "Young master, this servant will take people to the storeroom to check the goods."
Lin Feng grunted in agreement and waved his hand in a mature manner: "Go ahead, be careful."
After Lin Feng and his men left, Lin Yun couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Her older brother, who is usually very easygoing, has now learned to put on airs.
But this is good, at least it can keep things in check.
After everyone left with Lin Feng, Lin Yun said to the remaining embroiderers and servants, "Come with me to the rouge shop. Let's set up the place first."
She specifically looked at the five embroiderers, "You all come with me to the rouge shop to help out."
The embroiderers responded in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation.
They originally did odd jobs at the Imperial Household Department, so they were naturally eager to learn a new skill.
Upon arriving at the rouge shop, Lin Yun directed the servants to clean and tidy up, and then put away all the rouge materials she had brought.
As soon as the embroiderers entered, they were drawn to the scene before them—the shelves were filled with all sorts of bottles and jars, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
She took out several sample boxes and said to the embroiderers, "These are some of the rouges we are currently making, divided into three categories: face cream, makeup, and lipstick."
She picked up a small porcelain bottle. "This is a face cream. It contains pearl powder and honey, which can moisturize the skin and make the complexion whiter and brighter. It's a skincare product to use after washing your face."
Lin Yun took out another box of rouge, opened the lid, and revealed the fine red powder inside:
"This is our shop's signature rouge, made from the finest flower petals. It has a vibrant color and lasts a long time. Use this after your skincare products."
The facial cleanser and foundation cream haven't been released yet, mainly because there isn't enough time.
Finally, she took out a delicate wooden tube, gently twisted it open to reveal the red lipstick inside: "This is lipstick. When applied to the lips, it not only provides vibrant color but also moisturizes and prevents chapping."
The embroiderers listened intently, and couldn't help but whisper among themselves. One of the younger embroiderers couldn't help but ask, "Miss, did you come up with all these rouge and face powder recipes yourself?"
Lin Yun smiled slightly: "Some are family heirlooms, and some are improvements I made."
In short, what we want to do is ensure that every customer can buy the most suitable blush for themselves.
The idea of it being passed down through generations is complete nonsense; it's just a way to fool newcomers.
The embroiderers listened intently, and one of them couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss's craftsmanship is truly exquisite. It's sure to be a big seller."
Despite saying that, no one was really sure.
After all, there are many companies selling rouge and face powder, so why should ours sell well?
Seeing this, Lin Yun didn't say anything, but beckoned Xiao Tao over: "Come, let me try on your full makeup."
Xiao Tao was both surprised and delighted, and quickly sat down.
Lin Yun first applied face cream to her, and her skin instantly looked moisturized and radiant;
Next, lightly sweep blush powder across your cheeks, and your complexion will immediately become brighter;
Finally, with the addition of lip rouge, Xiao Tao's originally delicate face instantly gained a touch of allure.
The crowd gathered around, exclaiming in amazement, "My God, is this really Xiao Tao? She's like a completely different person!"
Xiao Tao looked at herself in the bronze mirror from left to right, blushing with embarrassment, yet she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile softly.
The embroiderers standing nearby were even more tempted and pleaded, "Miss, could you try it on for us too?"
Lin Yun smiled and said, "Of course." She also did makeup for two of the embroiderers. Their originally tired faces were refreshed with the makeup, and their eyes became more lively.
The onlookers were filled with longing; what woman doesn't love beauty? Especially these embroiderers who spend their days buried in their work.
Who has ever seen such amazing makeup? Laughter and chatter filled the shop, creating a lively atmosphere.
Seeing this, Lin Yun was secretly delighted.
She knew that these embroiderers would not only be valuable assistants to the rouge shop in the future, but also its living advertisement.
When the shop opens, they will present themselves with exquisite makeup, how could they not be tempted by customers?
Just then, his elder brother Lin Feng walked in from outside. Seeing Xiao Tao and the embroiderers' makeup...
She was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "Sister, if word of your skill were to spread, I'm afraid all the women in the capital would be crowding to open our shop!"
Lin Yun blinked: "Isn't that exactly what we wanted?"
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
Lin Yun smiled and said, "Rouge is nice, but packaging is also important. It needs to be elegant and unique." She paused, then asked, "Who among you is good at drawing?"
