The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 337 Peach Blossom Makeup

Su Suhe walked out of the study with a smile on her face. When she passed by her master's room, she saw Chen Shi still looking at the attendance record seriously.

Su He ran away quickly. She didn't need to be checked for attendance, but if she stayed, she would probably be implicated.

Fortunately, her three younger brothers did not ask for leave. Su He looked at the deserted yamen and shook her head. There were indeed too few people today.

It seems that a large number of people are going to be criticized.

Su He mourned for them for two seconds in his heart, then went off work.

It was still early, and Su He thought that going home would be futile, so he just walked around the street.

The shops near the county government office are relatively clean, and there are not many small stalls at the door. Compared with the pier, it seems very deserted.

It's not because the county government is strict and doesn't allow small vendors to set up stalls. It's just that the people living nearby are all wealthy families, and these people won't buy food from outside. If they go out, they go to restaurants.

If you open a store here, it must be high-end.

Su He took a rough look and felt that the cost of such a store was too high. Although they had the financial resources to do so, there was no need to invest too much at the beginning.

Su He likes to take things slow and grow step by step from small to big.

This time Su He did not look for a dentist. She trotted forward, crossed the central street, and took a shortcut along the alley to the busiest street, Changming Street.

This street connects Changshui Wharf and Hengyang Wharf.

There is never a shortage of people, so opening a shop on this street will definitely make money, but of course the rent is not cheap.

Su He was walking and strolling along the way. She saw a stall selling chestnuts. She bought a bag and ate it while walking.

Trash cans can be seen from time to time on this street. The barrels are made of bamboo. The light green round barrels always give Suho a modern feel.

Su He threw the chestnut shells he had stockpiled into the box and turned to continue studying the shops on this street.

Most of them are food restaurants, and there are five restaurants selling candy figures alone, not including those selling at small stalls.

In addition to food, there are cloth shops, cosmetics shops, hairpin shops, teahouses, money shops, grocery stores, inns, pawnshops, and grain shops.

Su He spent an hour walking quickly around the pier, and then started visiting cosmetics shops. The cosmetics shops at the pier were all similar, and there were two larger ones. In addition to cosmetics for women, they also sold makeup tools, such as mirrors, combs, etc.

Su He asked the roadside stalls and found out that every cosmetics shop here has been open for many years.

To be able to survive at the dock for many years, it is not enough to rely on old customers alone, there must be a few hot-selling products to stabilize the source of customers.

Su He bought all the popular products from every cosmetics shop and immersed herself in the joy of being a customer.

Another hour later, she returned to Su's house with a bunch of cosmetics.

Liu Bai had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her.

"Xiaobai, wash your hands and let's eat."

Su He placed all her cosmetics on the lounge chair in the middle of the yard, and then washed her hands carefully with Xiang Yi Zi.

"Is there much work at the government office today?"

"Not much. You don't have to go these two days. I got full marks on the exam."

Liu Bai was not surprised at all and congratulated Su He with a smile.

"You went to Magistrate Ge to offer yourself as an examiner again?"

"No, when I went there, Lord Chen Shi was there too. Magistrate Ge asked me to recite the book in front of Lord Chen. I recited it, and Lord Chen said I got full marks."

Su He happily served herself a bowl of rice. Although the yield of rice in ancient times was not high, the quality was good and it was very fragrant.

"I'll be in the yard dressing up after I finish eating."

“Okay, do you want me to help you lift the dresser out?

"No, I can prepare it myself."

Su He finished her meal quickly and started packing up the cosmetics she had bought.

There are three types of cosmetics in this bag: one is foundation, the second is rouge, and the third is eyebrow pencil. Of course, it is not called eyebrow pencil here, but something like "eyebrow pencil".

Su He bought all the Dai.

After eating and drinking, I started to work. First, I washed my face and then replenished water. Su He prepared this herself, which was aloe vera gel made from aloe vera.

The king of skin care, hydrating and repairing products, it is very good to use this summer. Unfortunately, Su He had too many things to do and was so busy that he forgot about it. This summer is about to pass.

Su He shook her head regretfully, feeling that she would lose some money, and then asked Liu Bai to get her another bucket of water.

First, use aloe vera to treat your skin for ten minutes, and then start applying foundation.

Su He used rice powder. She had no choice. Lead powder is poisonous, so she didn't buy it at all.

There are no modern tools here. Su He applies powder directly with her fingers, applying it carefully, and then starts to draw her eyebrows.

She has a good eyebrow shape, so I just darkened them slightly.

Then comes rouge, which is the highlight. If you skip this step, some straight men will think you are not wearing any makeup at all.

In ancient times, rouge could be used as lip balm or applied on the cheeks.

Suhe adapts to local customs and uses two things in one box.

Liu Bai sat quietly by the side and watched as Su He's originally fair and rosy face gradually deepened in color. Originally it had just become whiter, but when Su He finished applying rouge and looked at Liu Bai, Su He had completely changed.

The light yellow dress, coupled with the gorgeous makeup, made the innocent girl look charming and attractive. The high bun added a touch of heroism.

Su He smiled, and the flowers at the corners of her eyes also spread out. Liu Bai felt that spring had returned.

"Does it look good? This is called peach blossom makeup. I spent a long time drawing the ends of my eyes."

Seeing that Liu Bai didn't react, Su He looked left and right in the mirror. She hadn't put on makeup for a long time, and she looked quite satisfied.

I don't know how long this makeup can last.

Su He decided to try different makeup these days.

"It's beautiful."

A belated response came from the side.

"But you are beautiful to begin with, you don't need all this makeup."

Liu Bai spoke seriously, and Su He certainly benefited from it. Although she was usually sloppy, it didn't mean that she didn't love beauty. She was just too lazy.

There's nothing better than sleeping in.

"Xiao Bai, if everyone in the world thinks like you, all cosmetics shops will be closed."

"They won't close. They're all ugly. Do you want to find a shop to open?"

Su He was amused by Liu Bai's words. "Yeah, there's nothing important now. I was just thinking about Qingqing opening a cosmetics shop. I went to look at the store this morning. The Central Street is too high-end and not suitable for us. The pier is too noisy, and there is not a single vacant store."

"I'll go with you tomorrow to have a look. It's better to be closer to the dock, or you can go to the county government office to ask."

Liu Bai helped to give advice. Most of the shops here were privately owned, but many were managed by the county government. Su He was originally a government official, so he naturally had more conveniences than ordinary merchants.

Thinking of this, Su He's eyes lit up. She wanted to go to the government office to ask immediately, but when she thought of the makeup on her face, Su He decided to go tomorrow.

Su He put away her powder box and asked Liu Bai to help put it back in the house.

She plans to check the makeup again after two hours to test its long-lasting effect.
