The mother and daughter went to several pharmacies in the county town and bought all the herbs needed for the Chinese herbal mask. Liu took them home directly and asked her mother to supervise them in grinding the herbs to make sure they didn't make any mistakes. These were things to be used on the face, so they had to be handled carefully.
She was going back to the shop as it would open tomorrow, so she would sleep in the county town tonight.
It was already noon when Liu Yuhan returned to the store.
Honeysuckle has already prepared the meal, it is lightly cooked and quite delicious.
Several people had already moved a small bed from Liu Yuhan's room to the next room. Each room had three small beds.
"Will it be too crowded? You can share a room with me."
"No girl, the four of us are just perfect together."
"Okay then, everyone, go take a nap. I'm going to sleep for a while too."
After Liu Yuhan finished speaking, she couldn't help yawning. She got up too early this morning.
"Miss, you go and have a rest. We will take care of the store affairs." Bai Zhi said.
Liu Yuhan waved her hand and went into the room. She closed the door and fell asleep. She was still growing at her age.
I woke up after sleeping for an hour and found that the plaque had been delivered. Several people installed it together without covering it with red glue. If anyone came to ask what it was for sale, I would just tell them.
Arrange the soaps and perfumed soaps according to their colors. The prices are very simple anyway. Remember that soap is 30 wen and perfumed soap is 200 wen.
There will be a 10% discount on the first day of opening tomorrow. Soap is 27 cents and toilet soap is 180 cents.
Liu Yuhan went to the flower and bird market and got two pots of money trees and placed them on both sides of the store.
Feeling like something was missing, she went to the main room to paint. She had also learned Chinese painting, but always felt that it was a little lacking. However, at least she had good brushes and paints.
Then draw a sketch and take out the sketching pencils.
A woman with long hair and a headscarf was washing clothes beside the stream. The setting sun cast golden light, and wild flowers and grass were lush beside the clear water. The clothes she was washing were bubbling, and even there were bubbles in the water. At her feet, there was a wooden box with soap in it.
Liu Yuhan also mentioned a line from a poem: "Sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, and a faint fragrance floats in the moonlight at dusk." This is a beautiful concept and also reflects the name of the shop.
Liu Yuhan's painting flowed smoothly, and she moved on to another. A mother was washing the hair of a chubby baby wearing a bellyband. A gentle smile graced her face as she rubbed the baby's hair, leaving a trail of colorful foam. Next to the woman, a wooden box contained blue soap.
Liu Yuhan wrote a poem: Who says that the love of a little grass can repay the kindness of three spring days?
When inspiration comes, I will draw another one. What should I draw? Let’s draw Fulai Village. Take out a piece of drawing paper of the largest size.
There is a big locust tree at the entrance of the village. Under the tree sits an old man, and next to him are a few children playing, all with happy smiles on their faces.
Flowers and wild grasses bloomed on both sides of the road, and rows of houses were reflected against the blue sky and white clouds. Not far away was a river, and willow trees swayed in the wind beside it. Across the river lay golden rice fields, and beyond them, mountains stretched out in the distance.
Poem: Don't laugh at the farmer's strong liquor, in a good year there are enough chickens and pigs to entertain guests. Mountains and rivers are so dense that there is no way out, but when the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, there is another village.
Three parts painting and seven parts mounting.
Liu Yuhan asked Baizhi where she could frame the painting?
Bai Zhi and the others were stunned when they saw these portraits and poems! This painting is so vivid and beautiful, and the poem is simply amazing. This girl spent more than an hour to draw it, it's unbelievable!
Bai Zhi carefully accepted the paintings and took them to a large bookstore on North Street to have them framed. Afterward, they were hung prominently on the shop's wall. Needless to say, the shop staff were also amazed by the paintings and kept asking which master's masterpieces they were. Bai Zhi naturally kept her mouth shut.
After hanging the paintings, the shop feels different and more cozy.
By the time everything was ready, Jindong had already prepared dinner. After dinner, everyone washed up and went to bed early.
The next day, the shop opened normally. Red chrysanthemums hung on either side of the door. Two basins of water sat on a bench, and a soap bar and a soap bar were unpacked and placed in a wooden box next to the basins.
Everyone is curious.
Everyone was thinking that this might be the soap used for washing clothes, but why does it have color? I have never seen this before, so I wonder what the effect is?
Everyone was talking about it. Usually not many people came to this corner, but when they saw someone coming, everyone followed one after another.
Liu Yuhan took a piece of coarse cloth and smeared some oil on it in the kitchen.
"Everyone, come and take a look at our new shop if you're passing by. We mainly sell soap and scented soap. Soap is mainly used for washing clothes and hands, and of course, you can also use it for bathing and washing your hair. Scented soap is mainly used for bathing and washing your hair. Why is it called scented soap? Because it smells good. Everyone can pick it up and smell it."
"Seeing is believing. Let's see the effect of soap first. I have a dirty cloth used to wipe the table in the kitchen. There's some oil on it. Wet the cloth in water, put some soap on it, and scrub it."
Liu Yuhan rubbed the cloth as he spoke, and soon foam formed on his hands. He put the cloth into the basin, rubbed it in the water, and then picked it up to show everyone.
"It's really clean now."
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The effect is so good. It is much better than wood ash and soapberry."
"Smell this soap and use it to bathe and wash your hair. It will be so fragrant."
"I'm afraid this is very expensive. I haven't seen anyone selling it in the capital."
“That’s definitely expensive.”
"How do you sell this, girl?"
"Fellow villagers, soap and scented soap are not easy to make, but they are very effective. As you can see, this dirty cloth can be washed clean. This piece of soap is so big and hard, it is very difficult to use. This soap can be used for bathing and washing hair without the need for additional fragrance. It saves money and effort, doesn't it?"
