"Besides Tianxiang Rouge Shop, which other rouge shops in the county are famous?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Erzhu and Zhao Sanzhu looked at each other... Maybe you... asked the wrong person.
"Oh, sorry."
So Zhao Taohua asked the waiter at the teahouse, who was well-informed. He told her, "Besides Tianxiangfang, the only other rouge shop we can get is Mudanfang. However, Mudanfang is run by a woman and has a weak foundation. We can never compete with Tianxiangfang."
"Okay, I understand."
Zhao Taohua had been planning something a long time ago, but she didn't expect to encounter the opportunity so soon. She decided to give it a try.
The Zhao brothers and sisters immediately returned to Hexi Village.
The restaurant's braised meat remains the same.
It's just a stall in the village, and I'll be taking a few days off recently.
At night, Zhao Taohua quietly took out some new things from the space that she had started making a long time ago, and showed them to the Zhao family like treasures.
"Third sister, what is this?"
"This is handmade soap, with a milky scent. It's very smooth when you wash your hands after taking a bath. This is vanishing cream. Women can apply it on their bodies to make them moisturized and fragrant," Zhao Taohua applied it on her hands and let them smell it.
Zhao Erzhu frowned, seeming to dislike it.
Old Mrs. Zhao almost lost her appetite after smelling it. "This thing is really delicious. No, it smells good. I've never seen it before."
Zhao Taohua called her elder sister-in-law Xue Yazhi and Xue Jinyu over and had them all try it out. Xue Yazhi was the most knowledgeable among the female relatives and was her best tester.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think?" Zhao Taohua asked cautiously.
After Xue Yazhi and Xue Jinyu finished, they were immediately amazed. "This milk soap is so smooth and fragrant, and so is the vanishing cream. I've never seen anything like it before. In my early years, I went to the provincial capital with my father and brother to visit relatives. The women there used a relatively coarse soapnut powder to bathe and wash their hair. It smelled strange. Moisturizing, the thing you mentioned, doesn't seem to be used by many people. Most of them are made with rouge and fresh flowers. The color is very light, not as bright as the foreign stone powder."
Xue Yazhi told all she had seen and heard, but it was obvious that Zhao Taohua's handmade soap and vanishing cream were things she had never seen before and she thought were delicious.
Women of this era didn't have many cosmetics. Rouge and lip balm were the same thing. To draw eyebrows, she once saw Old Lady Zhao looking for a fire stick under the stove.
Her world was shattered at that moment.
From then on, Zhao Taohua began to search for information on the Internet in her space and used all the real materials she could find to start making various safe and good cosmetics.
I believe there will be more and more types in the future.
However, these two things are enough to temporarily snatch the business from Tianxiangfang. The best business of the Ye family is braised meat and rouge and powder.
She would then cut off both of his arms and try it out first.
The second day.
Zhao Taohua brought her sister-in-law Xue Yazhi, Xue Jinyu, and Old Lady Zhao to the gate of Mudanfang. Mudanfang was on the same street as Tianxiangfang. As expected, the place looked more deserted than Tianxiangfang opposite.
"What do the guests need?"
A lady with rouge came out to greet them.
Zhao Taohua immediately took out two taels of silver, placed them on the table, and said politely, "We're booking the entire place. Madam, please close the door and only let my female family members choose, okay?"
It is common for shop owners, especially women-run shops, to book out the entire place, after all, women are more concerned about privacy.
However, ever since the business of Mudanfang started to decline, no rich lady had come to book the place for a long time. The proprietress was so flattered that she immediately had the shop closed.
"What may our distinguished guests require?"
"What's your surname, ma'am?" Zhao Taohua asked as she looked at him.
