Chapter 232 Cosmetics



Anyway, this wave of reverse promotion made Yu Xiuming rich overnight. Not only did the orders from the Great Zhou Dynasty become overwhelming, but even people overseas were looking to buy it. This glass is a good thing and can be used in every aspect of life.

At the same time, Yu Xiuming did not think that these people could not figure out the formula of glass, nor did he intend to keep them hanging. Instead, he built a large glass factory so that he could have firm control over the situation in his own hands. Because of the fragile nature of glass, Yu Xiuming deliberately chose several large cities when choosing the site. In this way, even if the surrounding towns wanted to buy glass, they could go directly to the city to look at it, and they didn't even need to go to other places to buy it.

Because there was a large demand for glass overseas, Yu Xiuming asked someone to bring two craftsmen with him when he went out to sea. He decided to build his own glass factory and mirror factory overseas, and then collected things specifically for making cosmetics. He had been coveting the bottles and jars on his wife's dressing table for a long time.

Just when he was looking for secret recipes, he suddenly saw a formula for facial cream. He realized that this thing actually didn't cost much and could be made, but when it was sold, it was indeed sold at a very high price. He once went to buy rouge for his wife, and that small box of rouge cost three taels of silver.

But in reality, the required capital is less than one ounce, with at most an additional labor fee. In other words, selling just one box of this tiny rouge can earn half the profit. It's simply a model of huge profits! This immediately tempted Yu Xiuming, so he began collecting various raw materials, intending to study them carefully. The current products are very simple. They are made from lard and wood ash to make pig rouge, which can be used for washing the face or bathing. There are also rouges made by mixing the juice of flowers and flour together, or oil rouges made by combining lard and dried flower juice into powder, or various loose powders. These are also very expensive. Even lip tints are ridiculously expensive. However, these are simple. Households with servants would not make them directly at home.

Except for some family recipes, they are still better than these ordinary rouge and powder. However, the powder is not fine enough and the particles are coarse, which are big problems. After all, even if it is pearl powder, it is easy to have rough particles without washing with water, and it is still not smooth when used. But his wife has a method that can be used for washing with water, which can make the powder fine and continuous. So after Yu Xiuming asked the servants in the family who had signed the death contract to experiment, they still found that the powder bought for you by Insomnia is better, even better than those offered to the palace.

It was not until Yu Xiuming started to arrange for his servants to study these rouge and powder, and even began to study the problem of emulsification. They are much better than those greasy and oily lotions made with lard. As long as they work hard, these chemical research products will soon be on the market. The cost of this thing is really not high. Even when the materials are similar, Yu Xiuming specially uses bottles with shallower mouths to store them.

Anyway, Yu Xiuming's nature as a profiteer made him know everything about pea powder. He even reduced the amount of the newly developed gouache and increased the price. After Wang Shiyu knew about it, she was stunned. She felt that the lotion formula he had put down before was all mixed up randomly. After all, she couldn't use this thing herself.

She has spiritual spring water, so she doesn't need the help of these things. Even the cosmetics on the dressing table are just there to look good. Although they are relatively expensive, Wang Shiyu is not willing to use these cosmetics with lead powder.

Knowing that this was what Yu Xiuming was researching, and that it was additive-free, Wang Shiyu took a few boxes and studied them for a while, and then returned them. Wang Shiyu just ordered it to be returned, even though this thing was very good, but Wang Shiyu didn't need it.

Here, Master Liu returned home after a full day of classes. He first went to the room to check on his daughter who was sleeping. After making sure that she was alright, he left the room and went to the yard. He looked at his wife who was in a daze in the yard and casually took a stool to sit next to him.

"Yingying's problem must be solved. That kid surnamed Shao's family is not good at all. They are extremely poor and have too many rules. How can they afford to support Yingying?

Do you think they can really afford to support the spoiled Yingying? Yingying grew up by my side and never suffered any hardship. From childhood to adulthood, she has always had the best food, clothing and daily necessities.

I don't know why you insisted on finding her a family from such a poor family and why she stayed there so stubbornly. What kind of unmarried girl would work in the home of a man she was just engaged to? Even when they were engaged, there was no token of love. What's the difference between this and not being engaged at all?

The Shao family is too bullying. Not only does the widowed mother bully her, but even the boy from the Shao family bullies her to death. What are you thinking?

So you just told Yingying directly that you would let her work like that for them from now on? Are you really willing to do that? "

Mrs. Liu listened to her husband's words and pondered for a moment, but she felt that it was nothing. After all, every woman went through this. If she married a man, how would she let her Yingying do these things? She didn't seem very happy, and then she started talking.

"But isn't this how we women all get through life? After getting married, we take care of our husbands and children.

Yingying, even if you marry into the Shao family, the boy from the Shao family is a scholar and has decent knowledge. If you help him, he can pass the imperial examination and become a juren. Then our Yingying will be the wife of a juren.
