Chapter 112 Handmade Soap

Li Mei'er watched her mother settle the accounts, she was keenly aware of what was going on, she moved to her side and asked, "Mother, are you planning to open a shop?"

Seeing her ghostly appearance, Mrs. Jiang felt a little funny, poked her forehead with her finger and said, "You know again."

Li Meier giggled, watched her mother count the silver, and then said: "Mother, if you don't have enough money, you can sell the gold collar that my aunt gave me last time. I don't have a chance to wear that thing again. It's useless to keep it, it's better to change it to a silver envoy."

How could Jiang touch Li Meier's things, but her daughter was so caring, she was still very moved, touched her daughter's little head and said: "This gold collar is for Mei Meier as a dowry, you don't have much jewelry, you have to Save some for the bottom of the suitcase, besides, you are still young, so you don’t need to wear these jewelry, but when you get older, you still need to wear it.”

Li Meier thought about the dowry, but it was still very early. Besides her dowry, she would be able to earn it by herself in the future. Maybe she would not like this kind of gold collar in the future.

But it's not good for her to say this in front of Mrs. Jiang, so she can only continue to laugh and say: "Then buy it again when you grow up, and treat this gold collar as the money I invested in."

"Mother has enough money here. If you are really short of money, I will use your gold collar to buy shares." Jiang only thought that Li Meier was talking about children, so she coaxed her.

Seeing Jiang's attitude, Li Meier didn't say any more, and instead asked: "Mother, have you thought about opening a shop?"

Mrs. Jiang fiddled with the money at hand, and replied slightly distressed: "This mother really didn't think about it, she planned to wait for your father to come back, and then discuss it with her."

"Mother, why don't we open a cosmetics shop, I think the cosmetics you use are very expensive, a small box of rouge costs five silver coins." Li Meier stretched out five fingers and said exaggeratedly.

Mrs. Jiang was amused by her appearance, and felt that the daughter's proposal was good. The makeup powder this woman made at home did make money, but the recipe for making it was not easy to come by. There is one in Zhifangyuan, the only makeup shop in the town. With the exclusive formula of rouge, the color of the rouge made is bright, and it will not fade for a long time. This is the only business.

"Silly girl, how can this cosmetic powder shop be so easy to open, and we don't have any recipes, so we can only make some crude cosmetic powders for home use, those good skin care creams, toilet water, there are no secret recipes for them." Jiang Smiling at her daughter's innocence, she still patiently explained to her.

"Is that so..." Li Meier didn't think too much about it. When her mother first opened the cosmetics shop in her previous life, she was still young and didn't understand the situation very well. It was only later that her mother mentioned that the business of the cosmetics shop was not good at first. It was only later that my uncle found a formula for pearl mica rouge, and the business of the makeup shop gradually improved.

What was the recipe like? Li Meier frowned, racking her brains to think. She only remembered pearl powder, mica powder, and some dried flowers, but she couldn't remember the exact amount and how it was made. It's clear, after all, she only saw the nanny in the shop do it once when she followed her mother to the shop.

"Mei Meier, what are you thinking? You didn't respond to my mother's call." Jiang called Li Meier a few times, but seeing that she didn't answer, she touched her face and asked.

"I didn't think about it, I just wanted to have a rouge recipe." Li Meier smiled and said perfunctorily.

"Okay, stop thinking about it, we'll have dinner in a while, you go and ask Shan Qing to come out, don't stay in the room all the time." Mrs. Jiang instructed Li Mei'er, and put away all the money and hid it.

Li Meier happened to also want to go to Jiang Shanqing, and discuss with him about the makeup shop, she knew that Jiang Shanqing was not an ordinary person, she knew a lot of things, maybe she knew some rouge formulas.

After Li Meier told him about it, he looked at her like an idiot.

"Do you think I'm a big man who knows how to make rouge?"

"Aren't you amazing? I thought you knew everything." Li Meier muttered disappointedly after hearing what he said.

Although Li Meier's words made Jiang Shanqing very proud, but he really doesn't know how to make rouge. He is a man, so he studies what this thing does.

"I really don't know how to make rouge, but I can make handmade soap, which is better than the soap you use now, such as goat milk soap, flower soap, etc., whether it is washing hair, face, or bathing. " In order to show that he still knows something, Jiang Shanqing mentioned another thing, this handmade soap was made by her mother at home, and he was hired to do free labor, so he knew how to do it.

"This is not bad either!" Li Meier's eyes lit up when she heard that Jiang Shanqing could make soap. Rouge and gouache are not necessary for most ordinary people, and those from poorer families have never used them in their entire lives. However, pancreas saponins are something that every household needs. Whether it’s washing the face or washing clothes, they are necessities anyway. If they are sold in the store, the business must be good.

"Brother Shanqing, you are still the best. I'll tell my mother, let's open a shop selling handmade soap, rouge, and so on. I'll talk about it later." Jiang Shanqing ran back to Jiang's house.

After listening to Li Meier's thoughts, Jiang's heart was also moved, but she was still worried, thinking that Jiang Shanqing, a small person, could still make soap.

"Mother, don't worry, when did brother Shanqing tell a lie, he said he would do it, then he would definitely do it, if you don't believe me, brother Shanqing and I will make some samples for you to see. "Li Meier said confidently to Jiang Shanqing, patted her chest.

Jiang Shanqing was speechless when she saw that Li Meier had secured the ticket for herself, but it was not easy to dismantle her right now, so she also nodded and said, "Auntie, let us have a try."

Mrs. Jiang knew Jiang Shanqing's character, and he would not agree to things he was not sure about, so he nodded and said: "Well, you can go and try it, and you can tell me what materials you need, and I will give you some Prepare."

With a plan in mind, Mrs. Jiang was not in a hurry to tell her husband first, thinking about waiting for the two little guys to make handmade soap first, and if it was really as good as they said, then she did the business.It's just that she still has some doubts in her heart. Although making soap is not too difficult, Jiang Shanqing is so old. Even if he has read a lot of books, he can really make soap that others can't make.
