Chapter 30 Mastering a Skill
"Miss, there's something wrong with this store!"
Only after they left the house did the maid Xianghe dare to speak.
"I just came back from exchanging silver. I wanted to ask the servant to follow me, but when I entered the house..."
She looked back with some fear, "I came in, and the people behind me couldn't push the door open."
When Zhao Wanyi heard this, a hint of doubt flashed across her face.
I don't think I've seen such a store here before.
However, she is more concerned about whether there are any problems with the things she buys than the origin of the store.
As soon as Zhao Wanyi returned home, she immediately asked a trusted nanny to come and check everything.
Then let Xianghe try the lipstick first.
Of course, she would not let a maid use it directly and dirty her things. Instead, she found a clean handkerchief, put some cream on it, and then let her apply it.
Xiang He was also afraid. Every woman doesn't care about her appearance. If her appearance was ruined, her whole life would be ruined.
But facing Zhao Wanyi's urging eyes, Xianghe had no choice but to take the handkerchief tremblingly.
Soon, the lipstick was applied.
Looking at Xianghe's delicate, tender and shiny lips, Zhao Wanyi was overjoyed.
This thing is really good, there are no side effects, and it even has a faint fragrance.
"Why don't you wipe it off?" Zhao Wanyi glanced at Xianghe.
"Yes." Xiang He felt a little reluctant, but she did not dare to hesitate and immediately wiped the lipstick off with a handkerchief.
Only then did Zhao Wanyi withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.
One hundred taels of lip balm, the only one of its kind in the capital. It’s an honor to try it out, and you don’t even want to take it with you when you go out.
"Miss, does that shop sell things from the Western Regions?"
Mammy said, "I've heard that spices from the Western Regions are hard to come by."
Zhao Wanyi thought about it and felt that this was indeed possible. There had been no merchants from the Western Regions in the capital for many years.
The female shopkeeper was quite capable and was able to get a room full of rare items.
But when she thought about the furnishings in the shop that she loved so much, and that the merchant woman had things that she didn't have, she felt more and more upset.
Zhao Wanyi sent people to investigate the origins of the shop, but of course they found nothing, not even the shop.
"She said that there will be new lipstick in three days, so I'll go and have a look then."
Zhao Wanyi sat in front of the bronze mirror, admiring it quietly, "Where did you buy these things? Don't tell anyone a word."
She didn't want others to find that shop. The things there were rare, so she could just use them herself.
As for the shopkeeper, she is still of use now.
Chen You closed the door and counted the money again. Looking at the neatly stacked gold and silver ingots, his mood suddenly became brighter.
There are also antiques in the storage compartment. Every few days, she would take out two pieces to admire and play with, and then put them back.
I asked the salesperson at the counter on the phone, and they said that the autumn limited edition color was not easy to buy, but the other ones were available.
Chen You could only find a purchasing agent who had authentic products in stock to place an order and have them delivered by the fastest courier.
I will go to the counter for the remaining two tomorrow, mainly for the points and free samples.
Chen You did some calculations.
The two headpieces that Miss Zhao bought today are both glass hairpins with beautiful colors and lively petal shapes.
In ancient times, it would definitely be an eye-catching sight, but when she bought it, it only cost a few dozen yuan each.
There are also Duobao bracelets, which cost thirty yuan and include shipping.
The three items were sold for one hundred taels of silver, which Chen You thought was okay and quite conscientious.
She sent a message to Gu Shaoyu: "I've found some solution for your antique restoration."
A voice message came over quickly from the other end. "Really? Can it be fixed within two days?"
Chen You said speechlessly,
"It will take two days to fix it casually, but if I want to fix it properly, it will take me more than two days to figure out the process."
"Can you pay more?"
“It’s really not about the money”
Gu Shaoyu said miserably, "Okay then, when will you deliver the things?"
"About three or four days. I'll send you a message then."
Gu Shaoyu finally felt relieved. Chen You's cautious attitude of making sure there was a way to solve the problem before offering the price made him feel reliable.
Unlike the other person who asked, he didn't care about the price when he first quoted, but then said that there was no guarantee that it could be repaired to be exactly the same as the original.
Chen You ordered herself a portion of dumplings, which she paired with braised beef in soy sauce and papaya strips bought from the supermarket.
Simply made dinner, put on a movie, and took out the tools from the drawer.
The dragonfly hairpin has been repaired. She is preparing to imitate a hairpin from a museum artifact, also as a practice.
Of course, the items used in the museum are jade and gemstones, which are much cheaper for hers.
I spent two or three hundred dollars online to buy rose quartz, natural stones, and petals carved from shells.
Once it is finished, it will be very valuable even in ancient times when there were no machine carving and it was difficult to produce such regular materials!
Chen You spent the next two days receiving express deliveries and practicing his skills.
The day I went to the counter to pick up my lipstick, I also bought a few bottles of makeup remover, some cosmetics and perfume.
I went to the supermarket again and bought several large bags of things at one time.
Soon, the agreed time arrived.
Zhao Wanyi brought her people and rushed to the store impatiently. When entering the store, she specially found two strong women to hold the door so that they could follow behind and come in together.
Unexpectedly, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop the wooden door from closing automatically.
The two old women looked at each other and could only wait outside worriedly. The young lady had instructed them not to disturb her shopping.
Zhao Wanyi saw that the people behind her didn't catch up, and she felt that this was a good thing.
The business of this shop is very hidden, so it is not easy for others to find it.
"This is what you want." Zhao Wanyi winked at Xianghe, and Xianghe immediately took out a wooden box.
Chen You opened it and saw that it was made using the same method, but with slightly worse specifications.
There were also a few sheets of paper in the box with instructions written on them.
"Except for my young lady, there are probably few people in the capital who can do it." Xiang He said proudly.
Not everyone in the capital could hire that craftsman, and it would cost a huge sum of money to ask him to show his unique skills.
"I'll check the goods."
Chen You took out the things that had been prepared long ago and made the most delicate connecting part of the entire hairpin on the spot.
Seeing this, Zhao Wanyi looked uneasy, "I am the daughter of a noble family, how could I use fake goods to buy things!"
She was already giving this woman face by coming to her house in person to buy things.
The maid was about to speak when Chen You brought them a tray.
"Anyone who comes to the shop to trade must inspect the goods, why don't you take a look at other things first."
Zhao Wanyi snorted coldly, walked to the wooden shelf, and took down the two newly placed bottles of perfume.
There is also a pair of hairpins, which are more exquisite than the glass hairpins bought before. They are in the shape of a whole crystal clear three-dimensional Epiphyllum.
No matter how much it costs, she has to buy it today!
Chen You's progress is not slow. There are only a few key problems left to be solved. As long as he can be sure that this method is correct, there is no need to make it too sophisticated.
The longest process of antique restoration is: the craftsmanship is lost, and we have to slowly explore and restore it.
And now, she has directly obtained the correct answer.
