Transmigration: The Peasant Makeup Artist

The family took less than two days to cut the rice back and put it on the ground at the door. It took another half a day to thresh the rice, and then waited for the sun to dry.

A rice harvest ended so quickly at their home.

After two days of tiredness, Li Mo and the two children were fine, but Song Dashan, Tiezi and Meizi were all dark.

Li Mo was distressed. He went to town early on the third day and bought a pound of spare ribs, a pound of pork belly, and a fish. Then he went to buy a jar of wine and bought a few more for the two children. It's so delicious, and then I returned home.

After returning home, Li Mo first gave the two little guys the pastry to eat, and then took the bought vegetables into the kitchen.

Today, I have to cook a good meal and make up for everyone.

There were already a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden at home. Li Mo went to pick two more vegetables and made a full table at noon. The four adults poured a bowl of wine, and the whole family was eating and drinking.

"Sister-in-law, when people harvest rice, they are always thinner. I worked with Tiezi for two days. Not only did I not lose weight, but I also got fat." Meizi sipped a sip of wine and said pleasantly.

Li Mo was funny, "I'm not fat anymore, all of them are dark and thin."

Tiezi smiled, "Sister-in-law, I'm really not thin. I have eaten so well these past few days. I have a lot of fish and meat every day, and I can eat some cakes. It's almost the same as the New Year."

Li Mo curled up his mouth, "If you do heavy work, you must eat well. Eat more. No matter how you save, you can't save on food."

Meizi and Tiezi really felt that they weren't working at their brother and sister-in-law's house, they were enjoying happiness.

The family was eating lively, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Is the host's home?"

Li Mo heard the unfamiliar voice and glanced at Song Dashan. He was about to look outside the door. Song Dashan held Li Mo's hand and stood up first, "Sit down, I'll go take a look."

Song Dashan walked out the door, and soon led two middle-aged men in.

Song Dashan first spoke to Li Mo, "Li Mo, these two are the boss and buddies of Yubaozhai in the town, and they said they need something to do with you."

The headed middle-aged man wearing a long gown greeted Li Mo with his hands over, "Miss Song, I am the boss of Yubaozhai, and my surname is Xu. I am uninvited to harass today."

Li Mo stood up, concealed the doubt in his eyes, and nodded slightly to the man in the gown, "Two of you are coming from afar, sit first." Then he brought two benches and placed them on the table to invite them to sit.

Boss Xu looked at the dishes on the table and knew that they were eating, but was interrupted by them, slightly embarrassed.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't have come to someone else's house at noon, but it took him a few days to find out about the Song of Lady Song. He couldn't wait for a while, so he came. If he doesn't come today, he may not be able to see people later.

Is it possible to go to Shang Yueniang's shop to talk to someone?

Will be blasted out by Shang Yueniang.

Boss Xu bowed his hands again, "Brother Song, Lady Song, I'm really sorry today, I'm here to disturb you eating at this time, you eat, don't pay attention to us, we will wait until you finish eating."

Even though they say that, they can’t really continue to eat as if they don’t exist. Li Mo smiled and said, “It’s okay, we have almost eaten too. The two of you wait a moment and we will just clean up.”

After Li Mo gave Meizi a wink, Meizi agreed, and quickly stood up and cleared the table with Li Mo, and removed all the dishes on the table to the kitchen table.

Li Mo also placed the two little guys at the small table in the kitchen, told them to continue eating, and said to Meizi: "Meizi, you and Tiezi will continue to take the two little guys for dinner, don’t worry about the previous things, me and you Brother will come as soon as he goes, no need to wait for us." He said and went to the front.

Song Dashan had already served two bowls of tea to the two.

Li Mo took the seat and said straightforwardly: "I wonder if Boss Xu came here today? Why don't you just speak up."

Boss Xu didn't expect Li Mo to be so direct, and he didn't want to go around the corner at the moment, and said directly: "Lady Song is now doing makeup for others in Yuefangzhai of Shangyue's house, right?"

Hearing this, Li Mo's eyes flickered, and he had a general understanding of Boss Xu's purpose today, but he still pretended not to know and just nodded, "Yes, the little lady is indeed a makeup girl in Yuefangzhai. ."

Boss Xu stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "I am fortunate to have seen the craftsmanship of Ms. Song. No one can match it."

"Boss Xu is absurdly praised." Li Mo knew that these words were just foreshadowing, and the next point was the point.

Sure enough, in the next second, the boss Xu continued: "I really appreciate Ms. Song's skills, and I would like to ask Ms. Song to go to the shop to put makeup on the guests." After finishing speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Li Mo would refuse, and immediately added: "Don't worry, Ms. Song, I'm not asking for nothing. In addition to your makeup money, I will pay you an extra one or two silver a month. I don't know what Ms. Song wants?"

He had inquired about this. In addition to the money earned by her makeup in Shang Yueniang's shop, the Song lady has no other penny. Now he is willing to give an extra one or two silvers. I don't believe this Song lady will not agree to him.

Since Shang Yueniang asked this Song Niangzi to put on makeup in the shop, the business in his shop has been getting worse and worse recently. Many customers have gone to Shang Yueniang. At first he didn't understand what was going on, and then he asked. I know that everyone is attracted by the makeup girl from Shangyue’s shop. According to the women who have done makeup, the craftsmanship of the makeup girl is superb, no matter how ugly they are, they can be made beautiful, and It also teaches people who apply makeup a bun combing method that suits them for free.

He was so anxious that he saw that the business in the shop was getting worse and worse, so he immediately decided to dig someone.

He inquired about the makeup girl everywhere, and it took a lot of thought to get the news clearly. He planned to contact this makeup girl privately a few days ago, but he hasn't seen this makeup girl appear in Shang Yueniang in the past few days. In his shop, he was so anxious that his mouth blistered, and finally decided to come to the house to talk directly, and there was today's matter.

Fortunately, he came over this time. At this moment, he saw the appearance of the family members, and he became more confident to dig this makeup girl back into his shop.

Therefore, he waited confidently for Li Mo's answer.

As for Li Mo, even though he had some guesses, he still didn't expect to be dug into the wall today.

Has her reputation spread so quickly?

However, although she is very happy that someone appreciates her craft, she has to refuse the kindness of the boss Xu.

Although there was no extra silver or two in Yueniang’s shop, it was Yueniang who gave her a place without hesitation, and even set up a dressing room for her. Every customer even came into the store. Yueniang They have patiently recommended some for her, which has kept her makeup business very good.

Now the relationship between her and Yueniang is not just a partnership, but a good friend relationship. She believes that Yueniang is a person, and she can work in her shop with peace of mind, so she won’t pay for this mere two or two. And another home.

So at the moment, Li Mo looked at Boss Xu apologetically, "I'm really sorry Boss Xu, I have promised Yueniang to always work in her shop, not considering changing one, thank you for your kindness."

Hearing that Li Mo refused without hesitation, Boss Xu widened his eyes in surprise, "You...Miss Song, do you dislike one or two silvers for less? Well, I will give you one or a half silvers a month. what do you think?"

Li Mo shook his head and said sincerely, “Boss Xu, it’s really not a matter of silver. It’s the right thing to be a man with words and beliefs and beginnings and ends. I don’t want to go wherever the conditions are good. This is too powerful. I really I am very grateful to Boss Xu for his love and appreciation, but I chose Yuefangzhai first. I really can't change the family at this time. I'm sorry Boss Xu."

"Ms. Song, people die for money, and birds die for food. It is understandable to change to a better home." Boss Xu still persisted in persuading.

Li Mo's complexion remained unchanged, his eyes still firm, "Boss Xu, I have decided, don't say anything."

The words of Boss Xu were all stuck in his throat by Li Mo's words, and he couldn't speak.

He could see that Li Mo really didn't disagree because of lack of talent. What she said was true, and she refused because she didn't want to betray her faith.

I don't know why, while regretting, his appreciation for the Song lady rose in his heart.

A woman with a poor family background can resist the temptation of money and choose Xinyi. I have to say that her character is very good.

It seems that today's persuasion will not succeed, and it is estimated that there will be no chance in the future.

Boss Xu looked at Li Mo regretfully, and sighed, "Xu admires Song Lady's character very much. In that case, I can't force it. It's just..." At this point, Boss Xu paused and started again. Raised a smile, "It's just that I have one more thing, I hope Lady Song can consider it."

"Oh? Boss Xu said straight."

"I heard that Ms. Song not only knows how to make up, but she also makes balm. Now the low-priced balm sold in the shop of the owner of Shangyue's maiden business is yours. It sells very well. I don't know if I can also be in the store. Sell ​​your balm?" Boss Xu touched his beard, "Isn't this a sorry boss, right?"

Li Mo looked at Boss Xu, slightly surprised.

It seems that Boss Xu has inquired about her very clearly. He even knows about her selling perfume. It seems that he came prepared today.

Unfortunately, Li Mo still could not agree.

When she decided to sell balm in Yueniang's shop, she thought about it. The reason why she only sold it in Yueniang's shop and did not go to other homes was because of the limitations of the market.

The market in the town is that big, and there are so many people who buy cosmetics. If you give it to Yueniang, if you also give it to other families, the total quantity sold will not be large, but the number of Yueniang sold will decrease sharply. Does it make sense for her to work so hard to find so many sellers? Sometimes it's not as good as a single store if the quantity is too large. Hunger marketing still makes sense.

Moreover, there is another reason that she will open a shop by herself in the future, and also intends to use cheap balm as a feature of the shop. If every shop has it now, then her shop's reputation will be less famous.

Although embarrassed, Li Mo had to refuse Boss Xu's proposal again.

Finally, boss Xu returned in disappointment.

On the second day, Li Mo went to the shop, and the first thing was to inform the lady boss of yesterday's events.

After hearing this, the lady boss didn’t feel much anger, she just said, “Your craftsmanship is good. Recently, because of your reasons, the business in the shop is much better than usual. This will inevitably rob other businesses. Everyone is not a vegetarian. The news to you is inevitable, I think, it’s definitely not just the boss Xu who is hitting your idea alone." After speaking, the lady boss took Li Mo's hand, her eyes moved, "It's just that I didn't expect you to refuse After all, Boss Xu, after all, he is willing to give you one or two and a half dollars more. Sister, sister is really touched."

Li Mo patted the boss’s wife’s hand, “Sister Yue, I remembered your support for me at the beginning. I am very happy with you. Where can I leave because other families have better conditions? Who is it?"

The lady boss raised a smile and said, "Sister, don’t worry, my sister is not that harsh. I will never let you suffer when you are with me. From now on, I will give you an extra one or two dollars every month. You can rest assured. I just do it here."

Li Mo immediately shook his head and refused, "Sister Yue, I can't do anything. I am using your shop and eating your food here. I am very grateful. Where can I ask you to give me extra money? Don't compare with that boss Xu, Sister Yue, don't worry, I won't go to other shops. If you give me money, you don't consider me a friend."

The proprietress hugged Li Mo with emotion, "Sister, it's my sister's blessing to have a friend like you, sister, thank you."

Li Mo patted the proprietress on the back, and then talked about the balm, "Sister Yue, it seems that other people have also noticed this low-priced balm. This balm is still very popular."

The proprietress nodded, "Your balm is affordable and cheap. It's easy to sell. There are fewer people buying the previous balm. Sooner or later other families will notice."

After the boss said, she glanced at Li Mo, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sister, elder sister wants to make some suggestions. Your balm is a good thing. Don’t worry about selling badly. My sister wants to focus on selling your balm. But your balm is a bit bad. It is that there are too few kinds of balm. There are only two flavors in total. There is no more scent than expensive balm. Several women have asked me if I have other flavors before. They all shook their heads to answer."

Li Mo heard the words, looked at the balm in the shop, smiled bitterly.

Why didn't she expect this? The two flavors are indeed too few, but Houshan only has these two kinds of wild flowers, and the others are not. Where can she make other flavor balm?

Even with these two flavors, I can't make it anymore. It's almost autumn, and this rose is going to fall. By that time, even the fragrance of rose flowers is almost gone.

She had been thinking about this problem a long time ago, and she had a solution in her heart, but for the time being, she didn't have so much money to realize it, so she had to procrastinate and wait until the family became wealthy.

Unexpectedly, it was picked up by the boss now.

It seems that this matter has to be resolved early.

Li Mo looked at the boss, his mind moved.

The author has something to say: Hey, this holiday is more tiring than no holiday. I was pulled up to be a strong man early in the morning, went out to buy new year goods, and then cleaned up. I still came to see you as soon as I had lunch. I'm going to make dumplings again soon.

By the way, today is Valentine's Day. I wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day, whether you have an object or not, everyone is happy.

see you tomorrow
