Chapter 468: The Androgynous Seduction of Qingshi
Gu Qingshi also went to the store to do an inspection. Although the second branch had just been opened, he was planning to open a new store. This time it was not in the imperial capital, but in Haicheng. He would have to choose the right person to be in charge at that time.
Her marriage to Lu Yuan indirectly served as an advertisement, which was more effective than normal advertising and was free. As a result, more and more skin care product stores had franchisees, and she had much more time for her honeymoon.
Gu Qingshi has also been constantly adjusting and expanding. Now the skin care series has developed very maturely, and the eye creams and facial masks have been gradually improved. She has slowly started to move towards cosmetics.
She is researching lipstick, eyebrow pencil, liquid foundation, etc., and is also trying nail polish. Now that the economy is booming, people's lives are getting better and better, and they are starting to dress up. In another two years, the market will only get bigger, and she must be prepared in advance.
The Chinese herbal medicines in the space grow well. After the seeds are optimized through space planting, they can be planted outside, and the effect will be better. For this reason, a series of medical cosmetics are developed for various sensitive or acne-prone skin types.
Scar removal cream has become low-key nowadays, but it has become an indispensable part of many people's lives, especially abroad where it is very popular. Scar removal cream has saved many lives and given Gu Qingshi more ideas.
"Lu Yuan, I've thought it through. I want to take over the bankrupt pharmaceutical factory. In the future, I will also add research and development of Chinese patent medicines and sell some effective and cheap medicines for daily use, such as stomach medicine and cold medicine."
Because of the space, Gu Qingshi had an advantage in raw medicinal materials. It just so happened that she heard that a pharmaceutical factory had gone bankrupt and was looking for a takeover.
The pharmaceutical factory closed down because the finance department ran away with the money. The factory director felt sorry for the employees and put forward conditions to the person who would take over. He could sell the factory and the equipment at a low price, but required the buyer not to fire the original employees.
Gu Qingshi had no objection to this. He happened to need to recruit these professionals. After inquiring and learning about it, Gu Qingshi started to consider taking over.
Lu Yuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow and take over if it's suitable."
The two of them chatted as they went to the store. The people in the store were very happy to see Gu Qingshi and Lu Yuan. They clearly told them to eat whatever was left in the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, the kitchen showed off its skills and served a table full of auspicious dishes. The word "囍" was spelled out with red dates on the eight-treasure rice pudding. Next to each dish there was a carving of red radish with words such as "Happy Wedding" and "Grow Old Together" carved on it. The dishes looked very festive and prosperous.
They used their craftsmanship to celebrate for Gu Qingshi. Gu Qingshi liked it very much, but he was also helpless, "It's too hard to carve these."
"It's not difficult. We are all experienced."
Everyone thought it was enough to see that Gu Qingshi liked it. When Gu Qingshi wanted to pay the bill, everyone was a little stunned, "You have to pay for your meal too?"
"Yes, I always pay the bill when I eat at this restaurant." Seeing that everyone was still a little hesitant due to unfamiliarity, Gu Qingshi made a joke, "I thought you all knew, so I deliberately served a few more dishes."
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Gu Qingshi paid the bill and went to the back kitchen knowing that it was not busy, where he saw the chef carving radishes.
At first glance, people who don’t know him would definitely be amazed at how handsome this guy is, with long and beautiful fingers. He is a natural sculptor, and everything becomes magical in his hands.
But in fact, this is a girl. She keeps short hair just for convenience and she is also very handsome.
Carving is a family craft passed down in her family. She is very talented and whatever she carves comes alive. She is a rare talent. However, the older generation believes in passing the craft down to sons and not daughters, so she only taught her younger brother, and the family business was also inherited by her younger brother. She learned the craft by stealing.
Just because he learned it secretly, he was able to innovate, and because of his talent, he formed his own school.
Hearing that Gu Qingshi liked it, she smiled and said nothing more. She picked up a carrot and started to act. Soon, the carrots that were originally in pieces turned into flowers, which looked lifelike.
Gu Qingshi looked at her hands, his mouth kept saying wow, his eyes full of amazement, this was so beautiful.
The sculptor didn't say anything, but looked at Gu Qingshi twice, with a smile flashing in his eyes with a bit of doting. Seeing that she liked it so much, he left with a word "wait" and left with the carved carrot flower.
After a while, he turned back, took out a small bouquet of flowers from behind and handed it to Gu Qingshi. Upon closer inspection, they were carrot flowers, and asked Gu Qingshi to eat them on the way back.
Gu Qingshi had received many flowers before, but this kind of edible carrot flower that looked so real was the first time. He took it excitedly with sparkling eyes, "Thank you, thank you, I love it so much."
The sculptor and everyone else looked at Gu Qing and laughed. Lu Yuan, who was ignored, said: “.”
Gu Qingshi came out with the flowered radish in great satisfaction, and couldn't bear to take his eyes away, "It's so beautiful, and you asked me to eat it, I can't bear to part with it."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, but still couldn't hold back his sourness. "Isn't it just a carrot?"
Although he knew that the sculptor was a girl, Lu Yuan still felt something was weird. He felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but say some sour words.
"Is this an ordinary carrot?" As expected, Gu Qingshi couldn't help but retort and rolled his eyes at him.
You can tell from the smell of this carrot that it was grown in her space. It is larger than ordinary carrots, but not hard and tough. Instead, it is particularly crisp and sweet.
It is rich in nutrition and is delicious not only as a dish but also as a fruit. Many people who don’t like carrots will change their taste and start to like it. After being used as decoration on plates, it can also be used to coax children to eat the flowers, which is also a major feature of the store.
Gu Qingshi had always liked carrots, and now she liked them even more. She also understood why those children who originally didn't like carrots rushed to eat carrot flowers, because she couldn't help but like them too.
Lu Yuan was refuted and glared at. He really wanted to say, "I can also give it to you," but he was unwilling to shut up.
If it was just ordinary carving, he might be able to learn it, but at this level, it might be a bit difficult for him to learn.
Lu Yuan was very depressed. He could give gifts and flowers to those people before, but he really couldn't give this one, so he could only hold it in.
After getting in the car, Gu Qingshi still held it tightly, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to eat it?"
No matter how good-looking it is, it has to be eaten, so eat it quickly!
"It's so pretty, I can't bear to eat it, I want to look at it more." Gu Qingshi said proudly, "I recruited her, I'm awesome, right?"
".Awesome." Just as he was passing the intersection, Lu Yuan stopped the car, turned his head to take a look, then picked up a flower and threw it into his mouth in a lightning speed.
He ate it in two crunches. "Mm, not bad, crispy and sweet, just as sweet as you."
Gu Qingshi looked at the empty flower, "Lu Yuan!!!"
