Huanhuan never had this plan: "No, Tianshui Street is not suitable for food business. One of the shops is still used to sell rouge and gouache. Let's go back and discuss this matter."

Mrs. Zeng couldn't understand this niece more and more, and the two returned to Tieshi Lane together.

At this time, it was already dark, and Wu Boming, Mrs. Guo and Wu Bo also came back.

After the whole family had finished dinner around the table, Huanhuan shared her thoughts one by one.

When Mrs. Zeng heard that Huanhuan wanted her to manage the rouge shop, her first thought was: "What about the meat skewer stall? My sister-in-law can't do it alone."

It's all her own business, and she helps everywhere, but what Huanhuan said is to let her manage the rouge shop, which is completely different in nature, and she is afraid that she can't do it herself.

"You can ask a woman to help you at the meat skewer stall." Huanhuan said, "I asked, and the wages of a woman who does the dishes and washes the dishes in the county town is not high."

Hearing this, Mrs. Guo said angrily, "You child had planned for a long time ago, but you didn't leak a word."

"Mother, this is just my idea. I don't know if it will work." Huanhuan didn't want to put pressure on Mrs. Zeng, and was also worried that it would backfire if she revealed her real plan, so she made an excuse: "I'm Thinking that Bo'er is studying in the city, he will definitely meet more people in the future, and my second aunt will manage the rouge shop, and Boer may be able to drive the business of the shop in the future."

When Huanhuan said this, Mrs. Zeng looked stunned, but said worriedly: "We don't have much money on hand, and the previous rouge powder can no longer be used. What should we use for the rouge powder?"

"If you don't buy, we will make it ourselves!"

Huanhuan raised his eyebrows, and seeing everyone's astonishment, he took out two pieces of rice paper from his bosom: "This thing is in a medical book that my master gave me before, I think it should be a prescription for making rouge." .”

"Are you sure this is the recipe for making rouge?" Mrs. Guo took the recipe in disbelief, looked at it carefully, and passed it to Mrs. Zeng again without seeing why.

Mrs. Zeng has seen some tricks, but she is not sure: "The several kinds of flowers on this prescription are the materials for making rouge of various colors?"

Huanhuan was overjoyed, and she guessed that her second aunt was talented in this area: "That's right, this recipe can make several colors of face cream and mouth cream."

Of course, this prescription was not given to her by old man Ji, but the one she wrote after hearing that her father wanted to buy the rouge shop. She saw this prescription in the books that her great-grandfather gave her, but she didn't expect When it comes to rouge, this recipe comes to mind.

"There is pearl powder on it. The cost of making these rouges is probably not low. What if they can't be sold?" After reading the recipe, Zeng became even more worried.

In terms of price, Mrs. Guo seems to know better than Mrs. Zeng: "Is there a lot of pearl powder used to make rouge? How did I hear that a box of cheap rouge is only a dozen yuan?"

In this dynasty, pearls were expensive. Are they the raw materials for making rouge?

Guo expressed doubts about this prescription.

"Mom, you don't have to have pearl powder to make rouge, you don't need ordinary rouge." Huanhuan explained: "I thought that since I want to do it, I should do it the best, and the price will be from high to low, so that we It can do business from ordinary girls and women to wealthy families."
