Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

250 Three Years
Time flies, and time is merciless.

Unlike the cold and gloomy days of the past few days, today’s weather is exceptionally warm and the sun shines on you warmly. The tea tree in the Yang family’s yard is stronger than last year. The trunks of the tea trees are full of seedlings with green buds, and the tea trees are surrounded by newly planted flowers and grass seeds this spring. Because of the suitable climate, tender green branches and leaves are quietly emerging, and the yard is full of vitality.

With a "creak", the clear door rang, and a pair of delicate and smooth hands slowly came out from the door.

Chunqiu covered the corners of his mouth, squinted his eyes, and yawned softly, with the confusion in his eyes, he walked to the center of the yard dressed in simple and neat clothes.

Three years have passed in a flash, Chunqiu has grown from a cute little girl to a delicate young girl, the baby fat on both sides of her cheeks has disappeared without a trace, her body has become more and more stretched, and there is a trace of girlish beauty all over her body. He was a head taller than before, and his facial features gradually opened up, his eyebrows were picturesque, ethereal and graceful.

Strolling to the edge of the well, Chunqiu lowered his head, bent down slowly, took half a basin of clear water with the wooden basin beside him, put the handkerchief in his hand into the water and stirred it, after wetting his face, picked up the basin beside him. Opening the oblate porcelain bottle, I reached out and scooped out a small amount of milky white facial paste and put it in my hand. With my palms together, Chunqiu pressed gently to spread it evenly, applied it on my face, and then rinsed it off with clean water.

This milky white face cream is a new product "facial cleanser" launched by Chunqiu Beauty Pavilion a year ago. It is used to clean the skin. Once it was launched, it received a warm welcome. The product is used and the effect is remarkable.

In the past three years, Meiyan Pavilion has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only the variety of products sold has increased, but sales revenue has also increased significantly, and the monthly sales limit has exploded.

According to the popular cosmetics of later generations, Chunqiu has launched a series of products such as lipstick, blush, eyebrow pencil, etc. Every time Chunqiu launches a product, it will become a trend, but Chunqiu also has its own careful thinking. Each product is separated from each other. The time will not be too short, it will neither block other people's money, nor let others find fault.

In the past three years, the Meiyan Pavilion has not only blossomed in Linfang, but because of the booming business, people from the adjacent counties of Linfang have also come here admiringly. Let's unite together, they will produce goods from the Beauty Pavilion, and the other party will produce people from the land, and the income will be 6:4 at that time. Because the size is right, the big families in the two counties will naturally not reject this good business with huge profits. Spring and Autumn They also opened a beauty pavilion in Zhou County and Muyang County. Although the daily supply of goods will be sent from Linfang, it will be a little troublesome, but they are also happy to see the considerable profits.

"Third sister, you are lazy again"

The unique hoarse voice of a boy in the voice-changing period sounded from behind Chunqiu, and Chunqiu knew who this person was without looking back.

"Huzi, if you don't go to school, you will be late."

Chunqiu turned his head and smiled at Huzi behind him, three years is enough to turn a little fat man into a beautiful boy.

Huzi, who has successfully lost weight, has turned into a handsome young lady. Looking closer, that pretty little face is five points similar to her age, but because of the different genders, Huzi's face is tougher, not like her. Spring and autumn are so soft.

"Third Sister, don't call me Hu Zi, call me Da Ming"

Huzi, no, Yang Chuncai wrinkled his handsome face and stared at Chunqiu with an unhappy expression.

Chunqiu smiled perfunctorily, "Yes, Yang Chuncai, if you don't go to school, you will be punished by your master for writing fifty characters." Chunqiu deliberately made an issue of Huzi being punished for being late when he was ignorant, and made Huzi jump angrily.

Huzi bit his lip, frowning as if he could kill a fly, pointed at Chunqiu not far away, and said viciously, "Hmph, third sister is really bad."

Chunqiu raised his eyebrows, with a ruffian look on his face, as if to say "how can you bear me".

After successfully running away the tiger's anger, Chunqiu returned to the house refreshed, because the shop was busy all year round, the family had not had breakfast together for a long time, and Chunqiu gradually developed the habit of eating casually for breakfast.

These past few days, Chunqiu was getting tired of eating pancakes from the opposite shop every day. Thinking that there were still some pastries left in the house, Chunqiu was going to eat some pastries to fill his stomach first.

After eating all the pastries left in the house, Chunqiu poured a glass of water, raised his head and gulped it down.

Wiping the corners of her mouth, Chunqiu straightened her clothes. Today, she is going to Shuangye Village to see the germination of flowers and plants.

Because the business of Meiyan Pavilion has been booming in the past two years, the small workshop for making ointments has also become a big food store. Chunqiu found a few honest women and made a contract with strict conditions, letting them work in the The shop next door is doing ointment, lip balm and other businesses.

Because of his precautions, Chunqiu stopped staring at him after he arranged the task, and just looked at it occasionally.

She is not worried about being stolen the recipe, after all, each person only makes their own share, even if they are bribed, they cannot succeed without the corresponding ingredients. It's just that it hasn't been successful so far.

Two years ago, the shop connected to Chunqiu's family's food shop was going to sell the shop due to some matters. It happened that their family was looking for a safe and secluded place to make ointment, and the price was right, so her mother decided to sell the shop directly. It was put down and used as a place to make ointments in the future.

Someone got through the walls of the two courtyards, and the Yuan family changed the opposite backyard. Now that Chunqiu wants to check the production of the ointment, he only needs to go through the side door to know.

A carriage full of wind chimes was parked at the door, which was bought by their family and was used as a means of transportation on weekdays.

Talking to Uncle Li at the side, Chunqiu bent down and got on the carriage. Uncle Li was a groom specially hired by her father to drive the carriage a few days ago, because his legs were disabled when he was young, and now it is difficult to find work when he is old, just like her father There was a shortage of people, so he paid a price to hire Uncle Li to come and help.

Uncle Li was sitting outside the carriage, waving a whip in his hand and hitting the air directly, the horse neighed, Chunqiu sat in the carriage and supported the handle on the side, bumped up and down twice, and then he stabilized.

The wind chimes on the carriage rang with the sway of the carriage. Chunqiu opened the small curtain on the side, and the melodious bells rang in his ears. He stared at the passing scenery and leaned against On the carriage, Chunqiu's half-squinted eyes and long black and dense eyelashes swept across his eyes, making people look itchy and crisp...
