Interstellar Farming: The sick and weak male protagonist is struggling to survive on money

Chapter 630 Cochineal

Nian Shutong thinks that facial masks are definitely a good way to make money. According to her knowledge of the earth, it is said that women and children earn the most money.

For the sake of beauty, women are definitely willing to spend money; if there is someone who can skip this step, then for the sake of children, they are definitely more willing to spend money.

After thinking of this, Nian Shutong went to the silk factory and found some leftover silk, not even the best, as long as it was silk.

After getting the silk, Nian Shutong's next step is to study the effect of the mask.

She took a look and found that facial masks generally have the functions of hydrating, moisturizing, whitening, and lightening spots, and not only flowers can be made, but some fruits and vegetables can also be made.

Such as cucumber, honey, loofah, etc.

With these most basic raw materials, all she needs to do is add icing on the cake.

So after Nian Shutong dealt with these things, he went out to the desert and prepared to refine a batch of elixir.

Some basic medicinal materials can be found in Blue Star. The most important ingredient for Nian Shutong to refine the elixir is the medicinal power brought by her own practice.

In the desert, a group of green flames danced up and down. If you look carefully, you can find that there are hundreds of tiny pills densely packed in the flames.

These are the pills she is going to put in the mask, which have excellent moisturizing and whitening effects.

After Nian Shutong refined one wave, he refined the next wave.

One wave is for whitening, the other is for moisturizing, and the other is for removing freckles. These are all aspects that are neglected by the people of Interstellar.

As for scar removal, it is the most common in Interstellar, because after a simple laser repair, the scar immediately returns to its original state.

After refining several rounds of pills, Nian Shutong was about to leave, but the mouse that came with her disappeared.

"noob!"

"Master, I'm here."

Not far away, in a small sand cave, the little white mouse was sticking out its buttocks and arching back and forth.

When Nian Shutong arrived, the little white mouse came out, turned around, and said to Nian Shutong, "Master, let's go."

Nian Shutong didn't move, just looked at the talking mouse.

"Should I call you Xiaobai, or Xiaohong?"

"?"

With its two humanized front paws, the little white mouse held its head and looked at Nian Shutong sideways.

Master, what are you talking about?
Nian Shutong squatted down, a mirror appeared in the palm of his hand, and turned to look at the little white mouse.

"what----"

Nian Shutong, who was holding the mirror, said something like this: "So that's what mice call."

"Hehe...Master, Xiaobai ate a little bug."

"Who knew that they were so red that they were still fading."

What the little white mouse said made Nian Shutong suddenly think of one thing, the little red bug?
Could it be cochineal?

Recently, she has been learning the knowledge of beauty makeup. Lipstick is definitely popular, and it is also the single product that can touch women's hearts the most.

Now she has developed perfume, mask, and another lipstick is definitely the best partner.

"Xiaobai, where is this bug? Can you catch it?"

The little white mouse had a pair of intelligent eyes, and it was hard to see the tangle.

"Master, don't you want to eat this?"

This time it was Nian Shutong's turn to ask questions, when did she say she wanted to eat it herself?
"Don't talk nonsense, look for it quickly."

Nian Shutong felt that one day, sooner or later, he would be paralyzed by the people around him or the beasts. The words of these people and beasts became more and more choking.

The little white mouse sighed worriedly, and began to look for the cochineal insect resignedly.

Be your own master, pamper yourself.

Really, what is not good to eat, if you insist on grabbing worms with Xiaobai, it must be that Xiaobai's food is so delicious that the master is a bit greedy.

"Little white mouse, do you know that if you don't block me, I can hear your thoughts!"

Nian Shutong's voice, as if he had climbed up from the Nine Nether Hell, made the little white mouse's hair stand on end when he heard it, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

"Master, Xiaobai is working hard to catch insects."

The little white mouse definitely exerted its greatest strength, worked hard, and dug cochineal insects.

In other words, Nian Shutong didn't do anything, and squatted down together, digging worms with the little white mouse.

These cochineals are parasitic in the unique plants of the desert, among the cacti.

One person and one mouse dug from dawn to sunset. I don't know how many times they were pricked by cactus thorns. The little white mouse felt that it might leak water even if it drank a sip of water now.

The sunset here was very late, so they dug for a long time, and finally stopped when it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Although it takes a long time, the rewards are also very rich.

Nian Shutong returned to the cabin with the loveless little white mouse.

After the little white mouse arrived at the place, he found a place by himself, his limbs were weak, and he lay down on a place, not wanting to move anymore.

Nian Shutong next to him ignored him, he was really tired, let him rest for a while.

As for Nian Shutong herself, she went to eat some food first. There was food left for her by Master Fan in the kitchen. After eating, she went out again.This time, she was looking for some honey to make lipstick.

While busy, the sky gradually brightened.

Nian Shutong used some equipment to dry the cochineal insects in advance and grind them into powder.

Then find a container and pour the cochineal powder into it, add some water, heat it to about [-] degrees, and you get a cup of relatively clean carmine liquid.

Next, the liquid is filtered to obtain a mass of pigment, which is then dried naturally and ground into powder to obtain cochineal powder.

Finally, in a pot, add olive oil, honey, let them melt naturally, finally add cochineal powder and some vitamin E, stir evenly, put it into a mold after cooling, then put it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, and cool After unmolding, you get a lipstick.

Nian Shutong finally got five lipsticks after a lot of tossing. She took this thing and found Ji Sisi again.

"Elder?"

"This is for you, try it."

A simple version of lipstick was handed to Ji Sisi.

"This thing is called - can't eat!"

Nian Shutong grabbed Ji Sisi's wrist and stopped her from putting the lipstick into her mouth.

"Don't move, just look at me."

Next, Nian Shutong showed Ji Sisi how to use lipstick. When the red lips appeared on Nian Shutong's face, Ji Sisi just felt that the old man was too good-looking!

Nian Shutong, who is already very fair, after the lipstick color was improved, it just matched the tear mole in the corner of her eyes, and she was so beautiful.

"Boss, you are so pretty."

"Thank you."

Nian Shutong was not at all embarrassed, pointing to the lipstick in Ji Sisi's hand and asked: "If I sell this, do you think you will buy it?"

"Yes! Definitely, I want to buy all of them for my elder brother."

Ji Sisi's determination was only met with a threatening look from Nian Shutong. She smiled and said, "I really will buy it. I feel that after finishing this painting, I feel refreshed."
