The woman with the sausage mouth was particularly angry. This man was shameless. She took the initiative to propose, but was rejected. He actually chose such a country woman who was not presentable.
"Every woman has her own unique beauty. Women of all ages have the right to pursue beauty. Women should be nicer to themselves." Jiang Li's advice touched Li Aiyu, and she nodded and agreed to give it a try.
It only took Jiang Li 30 minutes to transform Li Aiyu into a new look. The makeup concealed the blemishes on her skin and highlighted her beautiful facial features.
The perfectly straight nose, the red eyes, the thin lips, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes do not make her look old at all, but rather she has a sense of elegance that comes from years, with an aggressive and assertive beauty.
Everyone present was completely impressed by Jiang Li's head-changing technique. Li Aiyu just looked like an inconspicuous rural woman, but now she looked like a superior, worthy of her status.
Li Aiyu's husband, who was sitting at the top table and was also the director of the textile factory, saw his wife, like a jade covered in dust, wiped off the dust and restored to her youthful beauty. He unconsciously recalled the sweet time when they had just got married, and his eyes softened when he looked at her.
To be honest, his wife had suffered a lot with him. He had joined the army a long time ago, and she had been alone in the countryside taking care of his parents, farming, doing housework, and raising a child. She had aged so quickly.
Now that life is finally getting better, he has advised his wife to buy a few more nice clothes and some skin care products.
But she was used to putting her family first in everything. When she dressed up occasionally, she would be frightened by the strange looks from people around her, which made her feel even more inferior. So these clothes were all gray and made people feel distressed when they saw them.
Li Aiyu naturally saw the obsessed look her man gave her. She took a breath and said, "Xiao Jiang, I want all these skin care products. Can you teach me how to use them?"
Li Aiyu was not short of money, as she had all the money in the family. She bought the items at twice the price, and Jiang Li made a profit by reselling them, so she taught her some makeup tips.
The women at the wedding banquet also listened with great interest. Even Wang Jing sat next to Jiang Li after recognizing her relatives and refused to leave, as if she had forgotten that she was getting married today.
Jiang Li is not afraid of people hearing about her skills. Just like a chef cooking, even if she uses a recipe, she may not be able to make the food taste the same as others. She makes a living by her skills.
After the wedding banquet, the guests had a great time. The only unhappy person was the sausage slicker.
Jiang Li learned from Wang Jing that the person was Chen Kangmei's aunt, and Wang Jing apologized to Jiang Li on her behalf.
"Kang Mei's family has always disliked her, but it's because of the relationship between Kang Mei's mother and uncle. I didn't scold her in person. Don't take her words to heart. Just treat them as fart."
Jiang Li was certainly not angry. After this wedding banquet, she made 15 yuan, received two makeup orders, and also received some wedding candy melons and peanuts from Wang Jingsai. It can be said that she returned home with a full load.
But all the cosmetics were taken away by Li Aiyu, so Jiang Li went to the department store to restock. In fact, she was thinking of going to the provincial capital to buy some tools for cutting and curling hair, so that she could do more hairstyles.
She can basically do big waves, pear blossom perm, wool curls, and Jiang pear.
Besides, there should be more hair accessories in the department stores in the provincial capital, Jiang Li wanted to go and have a look. Since she decided to work in the field of hair makeup, she should not only strive for excellence, but also not just work in isolation, but also go out and see other people's products.
Jiang Li explained this to Chen Xianyun, and Qi Shaoqiang immediately said, "I won't be working tomorrow, I'll go with you."
Chen Xianyun also urged, "Yes, Li, you let Shaoqiang accompany you. You have to buy so many things and take a car. Mom is afraid you can't carry them."
Old Mrs. Qi also laughed, "Young people should go out more often, watch a movie, go to the park, etc."
So early the next morning, Jiang Li and Qi Shaoqiang opened an introduction letter and went to the provincial capital.
It only takes half an hour by car from Bailutang County, but it takes two or three hours to get from the county to the provincial capital, and there are only two buses a day.
Afraid that she would be too late to return home after shopping, Jiang Li opened a two-day introduction letter and decided to stay in a guesthouse in the provincial capital for one night if she was too late to return home.
Jiang Li was afraid of motion sickness that morning, so she only drank two mouthfuls of sweet potato porridge and hurried on her way.
When we landed in the provincial capital, my stomach was growling with hunger.
Qi Shaoqiang immediately suggested going directly to the state-owned hotel for dinner. The state-owned hotel in the provincial capital was much more impressive than the one in the county. It had three floors and covered several hundred meters, and it was not even full inside.
Jiang Li ordered their restaurant's signature dishes, and Qi Shaoqiang added a few more.
"Eat as much as you can. I'll clean up if you can't finish." Qi Shaoqiang was worried that Jiang Li wouldn't be full and would feel embarrassed because of other people's opinions, so he specifically instructed her.
He picked up a crab meatball and put it in Jiang Li's bowl. "The crab meat is very fat, try it."
As expected, it was full of freshness, the crab head was fat but not greasy, and the crab meat added a lot of flavor.
The soup with boiled dried shrimps is rich in aroma, with chicken soup as the base, bamboo shoots and ham shreds bringing out the flavor of this soup to the fullest.
The meat of the salted duck is white and tender, fat but not greasy. The staple food is the fresh meat grilled pancakes, which are so delicious that the crumbs fall off when you bite them. The aroma of green onions, meat and pancakes is mixed together. Jiang Li ate five of them in one go.
After eating and drinking, the two went to the department store first. There were indeed more cosmetics in the provincial capital, and there were a wide variety of products made by Japanese factories in Haicheng and Beijing.
Jiang Li picked out a set for her work use, and also bought three standard sets, which were similar to the one she sold to Li Aiyu yesterday. They contained all the basic skin care and makeup products, and she priced them at 99 per set.
After choosing the things and leaving the building, the sunset glow had already appeared in the sky. The autumn wind swept the dry fallen leaves. The leaves of the ginkgo trees on the street fell to the ground, golden and brilliant.
The two of them were in high spirits, so they took a walk and visited the nearby park.
Seeing that it was getting dark, they found a guesthouse to put down their things and went out to look for food. This time they did not go to the state-owned hotel. Jiang Li followed the nearby residents and went deep into an alley. There were people selling wontons inside.
The pink and white meat dumplings roll in the boiling pot, poured into the milky white soup, added with shrimp skin, seaweed, and homemade dried radish, the aroma is fragrant.
The people in the front were either holding lunch boxes or bowls, and I guess they were people living nearby.
When it was Jiang Li and Qi Shaoqiang's turn, the boss saw that they were strangers and protected the pot cautiously, "We only eat this at home, we don't sell it."
"Boss, we are distant relatives. My eldest aunt's cousin is from the same family as yours. Don't you recognize me?"
Jiang Li talked a lot of nonsense, and then quietly threw the money for the bowl of wonton into the boss's wife's arms.
Seeing how considerate Jiang Li was, the boss filled her lunch box with plenty of wontons, then called out to the people in the queue at the back, "No more, no more in the pot."
