The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 549 Move a rock and drop it on your own foot (5)
Aunt Zhuang greeted her from the house, and seeing that there was another girl of her age beside Qingguo, she couldn't help being stunned, and asked, "Girl, who is this?"

Qingguo said to Xianghe: "Xianghe, she is Aunt Zhuang, the mother in charge of my house that I told you before." Then she said to Aunt Zhuang: "She is Xianghe, sent by Master Jiu." After a pause, he explained again: "Auntie, she is very powerful! One person can hit seven or eight!"

Although Xianghe looked dull and indifferent, she should have a lot of cleverness. As soon as Qingguo's words fell, she stepped forward and greeted Aunt Zhuang, "Aunt, I am Xianghe, I am too young to do well. Wrong, please give me more pointers."

"Hey!" When Aunt Zhuang heard that Xianghe was capable, she was immediately happy, stepped forward to help Xianghe's hand, and said, "Xianghe, there is nothing wrong in this room, you just need to protect the girl properly." Yes, that's enough! Another thing, there are me and pineapple!"

Xiang He looked at Aunt Zhuang with round eyes, nodded and said: "Aunt, I will listen to you, but if there is something else, you can also order me to do it!"

Aunt Zhuang looked at the dull-faced but sincere little girl in front of her, and suddenly felt relieved.

Hey, I finally have a reliable maid!

In the following days, Qingguo devoted herself to tossing her rouge. After more than ten days like this, the flower buds in the pot were repeatedly boiled and calcined, and the rouge oil has changed from the original bright red to the current rich black purple. !
Qingguo started to make rouge cream.

Start by pouring almond oil and vegetable wax into a clean pan.The vegetable wax used in the green fruit is extracted from palms, heated slowly, and after the heat and oil are deeply dissolved, add water.Constantly stirring during this time, slowly, the contents of the pot turned into natural milk like milk.

Then, Qingguo will pour in the prepared mung bean powder, rice flour, corn flour, rose powder and rouge powder in proportion, and then pour in a certain amount of boiled rouge crude oil, and stir slowly.The fire can't be extinguished, and the hands can't stop. They have to keep stirring until all the things inside are integrated into one.

This is meticulous and patient work!

A careless guy like Fengli is definitely not good, Aunt Zhuang is getting older, but luckily she has a calm Xianghe!
In the end, Qingguo took a few porcelain boxes bought from the market, put the rouge cream in it while it was warm, and put it in a dark place to dry in the shade. After two to three hours in the shade, a box of high-quality rouge cream was formed!
"Girl, it's much better than Zhang Ji's rouge!"

At night, several masters and servants gathered around the table, each holding a box, holding a discussion meeting with the fully formed rouge.

"Yeah, the fragrance is so good. I took the brush that the girl asked someone to make, and it is even and beautiful on the face!" Pineapple brought her half-brushed face to Xianghe and asked, "What do you think?" No, Xianghe?"

Xiang He said nothing, just nodded lightly.

Qingguo smiled and said, "It took more than one or two taels of silver to buy the flowers in the bamboo basket, plus other miscellaneous things, the total is less than three taels of silver, but we still have a large tank of crude oil, which can be used to make hundreds of dollars." A box of rouge, even if it sells for a few tens of pennies, is still a big profit."

In the afternoon, they only used less than one-tenth of the crude oil to make twenty boxes of rouge. If the remaining crude oil was operated according to this ratio, it would be impossible to make three or four hundred boxes of rouge. question.

These three or four hundred boxes of rouge are sold for one or two taels of silver, which is three or four hundred taels of silver, and the discount is also hundreds of taels of silver, which is simply a huge profit!How can it be that there is a lot of money, it is simply a lot of money!
Because Xianghe was a secret guard in the past, all food and clothing expenses are paid by the palace, and she has no idea about money. Aunt Zhuang and Fengli are different!

After hearing Qingguo's rough calculation, they could grin to their ears!

"Hey, girl, don't open a semicolon where food is the sky, you can open a rouge shop! The Xishi family, the Dongshi family, and the people who keep the whole capital city come to buy your rouge!" Fengli said.

Even Aunt Zhuang's face showed a look of excitement, and she looked at Qingguo with burning eyes, "Yes, girl, this is faster than you open a restaurant to get money, and it's less trouble!"

Qing Guo laughed and said, "This is a profitable business I found for my aunt. If I opened a rouge shop, why would my aunt open it?"

When Aunt Zhuang and Fengli heard this, their enthusiasm suddenly became less.

Hey!
What a pity!
Qing Guo looked at the sky outside, and said: "Okay, it's getting late, we rested early, and I will show these rouges to my aunt tomorrow. Tell her about it, so that she can prepare to rent a shop!" "

Xianghe was the first to stand up. Although Aunt Zhuang and Fengli still felt a little bit reluctant, it must be the girl's business, and they would not force her to make any decisions for her.

At the moment, everyone dispersed.

Qing Guo has been busy doing rouge work these days, so she hasn't had a good night's sleep. Now that the matter has settled down, she relaxes her mind, goes to bed, and falls asleep as soon as her head touches the pillow.

Dimly, she felt that there seemed to be someone standing in front of the bed. She thought she was dreaming, so she turned over and continued to sleep.Unexpectedly, the next moment, it felt as if a hand was moving on her face!
someone!

Qingguo woke up in a flash, and almost without thinking, she wanted to call Xianghe, but she opened her mouth and covered it with one hand, and a familiar voice rang in her ear.

"it's me."

Ye Yu!

Qing Guo was startled, and looked up, sure enough, who else could be sitting on her bed besides Ye?
"Are you awake?" Ye Yu looked at Qing Guo who was blinking at him, stretched out his hand and brushed back the hair covering Qing Guo's forehead, and said softly: "Little heartless, you haven't seen me these days, how dare you To be able to sleep so soundly!"

Uh!
Qingguo thinks this is really wronging her!
They don't seem to be in love right now, do they?Since it wasn't a period of passionate love, how could she just toss and turn without thinking about food and drink because she hadn't seen each other for ten days and a half months?
That... isn't that too hard to be human!

"Why are you here? And..." Qingguo turned over and sat up, and was about to ask why Xianghe didn't find him, when Xianghe's voice sounded outside the house, "Girl, who are you talking to? Why is the servant listening to you?" There seems to be someone in the house!"

Qingguo looked at Ye Yu in a daze.

Ye Yu twitched the corners of her mouth, scolding Xue Ji in her heart.

He just said he wants a maid with good skills, but he didn't say he wants a first-class killer!
Why did you send such a person!

According to Hong Jian, this one was selected after breaking through layers of siege and defeating more than a dozen competitors!

"Oh, no one, I was talking in my sleep!" Qing Guo said to Xiang He outside the house.
