Chapter 532 532. What is that?

The capital has a moderate temperature and distinct four seasons, making it suitable for growing most crops.

Potatoes are growing well. Even if they haven’t bear fruit yet, you can guess that there will be a bumper harvest just by looking at the plants.

The smile on Wang An’s face was rippling.

"It will be collected in a few days, and the two old men will definitely come by then."

"Come."

Cheng Daqian agreed in one gulp, "These potatoes are very delicious. They are delicious when fried, grilled, or pan-fried, but they taste worse when eaten boiled."

Wang An choked, I bet you only think about eating.

This is a high-yielding grain. If every household can grow Dayan, no one will go hungry.

This is a major event that will go down in history!

Cheng Daqian didn't realize at all that he was worried about the country and the people. He pulled out the foot that was stuck in the soil with a little force. He looked at it from a distance and was surprised.

“What is that?”

Cheng Daqian, who has good eyesight, saw an unfamiliar green plant not far away. It has grown to thigh height, with only a few leaves, which are as big as Outrageous.

“Why does this look like it comes from southern Xinjiang?”

There have never been such big leaves in the north.

"It's corn."

Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi were coming here to answer questions.

"What? The corn looks like this? Where is it? Why can't I see the stick?"

"The results haven't come yet. It won't be time."

Cheng Xi Pointing to the middle and upper position of one plant, "It's probably here. You can see it in about half a month."

"Then I'll definitely come back in a few days."

Cheng Daqian has eaten corn before. Sticky corn is sold in the vending machines of Interstellar Supermarket. If there is no time to eat one day, most people will choose to buy one. While gnawing on the road.

That thing is chewy and has a strong feeling of satiety. Sometimes it is more popular than a sandwich.

Mr. Xu has also seen it, and he was walking around the cornfield with great interest. Only Wang An was confused, staring at the corn stalks with doubts.

So, this area is also for food?

Such a big plant only grows long leaves with nothing next to it. Is it that it is holding back its big move?

Oh, why didn’t he think about this before?

Wang Anna regretted it.

“Master, don’t worry, old man, my subordinates will definitely take good care of these corns in the future.”

“That’s not necessary, just weed them from time to time.”

Shen Xingluo felt that the "good care" mentioned by Wang An was not something that ordinary plants could bear. Look at those acres of potatoes. Being cared for by someone is more valuable than gold.

"Corn is cold-resistant and drought-resistant. It can grow even if it is planted on the mountain. No special care is needed."

"Ah, yes."

Alas, there is no place for such passion. Vent~

Wang An became even more depressed.

The group returned to Zhuangzi from the fields. Shen Xingqi and Wang Shu had spread out on a green lawn to eat, and the Youth League had also made a lot of food.

A few people sat on the ground, listening to the chirping of insects and birds in their ears, eating green dumplings and drinking tea, which was very comfortable.

This is the correct posture for an outing.

***

A lipstick shop jointly owned by several young girls soon opened and was named Qingyi Pavilion.

The auspicious moment has arrived. A woman in red took the fire from the hand of the maid and lit the fuse. A burst of crackling firecrackers resounded throughout the main street.

“Look, there are a lot of people here!”

At that time, several people were sitting in the teahouse opposite the shop, having the first meeting between Jiang Yuyao’s best friends since she got married.

Of course, the main reason is that I am worried about coming to see if the business is going well on the first day of opening of the shop.

Cheng Xi was dragged over by Shen Xingqi to join in the fun. He saw the "opening ceremony" within a few minutes of sitting down. There were many people gathered at the entrance of Qingyi Pavilion, most of them were well-dressed female relatives.

"Is the woman in red the shopkeeper?"

"Yes, she is the widow of an army lieutenant. We all call her Sister Hong."

Song Yan was responsible for finding the shopkeeper.

"Most of the female waiters and workers in the shop are military families. They keep their mouths shut and make sure not to let the secret recipe leak out!"

She is very confident about this.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yan'er! You still have a way to find people. If it were us, we would probably just go to Renyazi to buy people."

"Hey, I'm just looking for some people to do some work. This is just a little bit of work. You guys are nothing. If you run out of shops and stuff, I can only help you with the help of people. I can help."

Song Yan said, "But then again, I have to thank you for giving me this job this time, which has solved the worries of many military officers."

She not only helped but also did a good deed for her brother's generals, getting the best of both worlds.

“Really?”

Qu Shaoya was pleasantly surprised, "Have we done a great thing unintentionally?"

"Yes, yes, you are the living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering."

"Hey hey~"

"If our shop can make money, it will definitely expand in the future. If we recruit more people then, I will leave it to you, Yan'er."

"No problem!"
< br>

"Xiao Xingqi's lipstick is of such good color and variety, she will definitely make money, and it will be a matter of time before she recruits people."

"Besides, Qingji Pavilion not only has lipstick, but also other rouges and gouache in the future. ”

The little girls gathered together, chatting and discussing the big business of making money, looking forward to a bright future. Cheng Xi was a little happy watching this scene.

Both of them are rich ladies, and their families have a lot of property. If they would not take a small cosmetics shop seriously in the past, now it has a completely different meaning just because they "personally" established it.

Aren’t we going to get together tonight and count the profits one coin at a time?

The picture is so beautiful that I can't bear to look at it.

“Pfft~”

“Sister Cheng, why are you laughing, but where did we say something wrong?”

“No, I see that many guests have already entered, I’m happy for you.”

“Ah, are there guests?”

Several people's attention was immediately diverted. They opened the windows and looked across. At this moment, all the rules and etiquette were thrown away and completely forgotten.

The opening of Qingyi Pavilion was actually not widely publicized. Perhaps because they were too confident in lipstick, or perhaps they did not want to use their status to waste favors, several people tacitly did not invite acquaintances to support them.

All that can come here today is tap water.

“I wonder if they will like the lipstick we made.”

“They must like it. Have you ever used the previous lipstick since it was made?”< br>


"."

Not really. The few of them looked at each other and dispelled the uncertainty in their hearts with a tacit understanding.

It’s impossible not to like it, no woman can refuse their lipstick!

The fact is indeed what several people expected.

The firecrackers in front of Qingmin Pavilion attracted many female relatives passing by. After the crackling sound, several people walked into the store out of curiosity. When they saw such a unique lipstick, they couldn't walk at all.

It turns out that lip balm is not only available in paper sheets and porcelain bottles, but also in cylindrical shapes. Just pinch the lower part and turn it slightly to see!

It turns out that lipstick can fit the lip shape so well, and it looks so cute and delicate!

It turns out there are so many colors, and they can match different skin colors and dresses!

It’s like opening up a new world ing(ΩДΩ)! ! !

purchase.

Must buy!

“This, this, and this, the shopkeeper will wrap them up for me.”

“Two of each, I will take them back and give one to my sister.”

Sister Hong, who was responsible for receiving the first wave of guests, smiled, and the flower-like smile on her face never fell.

"Girl, if you plan to have one of each, we have sets here. It's more affordable if you buy a set."

What, there are sets?

The teenage girls suddenly opened their eyes curiously, with words written all over them, "Where is it? Where is it? Take it out and let me have a look."

The female clerk in the shop was very discerning and brought a small wooden box. The exterior was carved with exquisite patterns, and the pull tab on the front seemed to be plated with gold.

The girls eagerly opened the wooden box and gasped when they saw nearly twenty lipsticks neatly arranged inside.

"Oh my God!"

"Are they all different colors~(*▽*)~"

What should I do if I want it all?

I don’t want to let anyone go!

“Here, how much money do you get?”

"Today is the opening day of our Qingyi Pavilion. There is a half-price discount. The set meal only costs twenty-five taels of silver and you can take it away."

Sister Hong glanced at the faces of several people and found the right time to add... He got angry and said, "If you miss today, there won't be such a favorable price in the future."

What, the price won't be the same in the future?

You have to buy it. If you miss this village, you won’t be able to find that store.

Although it does sound a bit expensive, there are more than twenty colors in one box~

"Give me one set!"

"I'll buy one set too."

"Shopkeeper, give me two sets!"

A few people stared closely at the teahouse opposite Watching the movement in the shop opposite, their little hands clutching the handkerchief betrayed their nervousness.

It was not until several female customers reluctantly and happily walked out of the shop that they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come out, someone came out, and he seems to have bought something!"

"I saw it, I saw it, the maid is holding our wooden box set meal in her hand."

"Wow~ Big patron, that’s 25 taels of silver.”

What?

25 taels?

Shen Xingqi's eyes were as wide as bells, "Is it so expensive?"

She was not responsible for setting the price.

She knew that things in Beijing were expensive, but she didn’t expect them to be so expensive!

The little girl immediately tightened her grip on the small purse around her waist, "My dear, her private money is not enough to buy several set meals."

~o(╥﹏╥)o~

Qin Nan shook her head repeatedly, "It's not expensive."

The Qin family is a family of merchants, and she has a strong say in this.

“The capital city is prosperous, and a box of ordinary rouge in an ordinary rouge shop costs one or two silver. Our lipstick is unique to Dayan. A wooden box set contains 20 colors of lipstick plus a few moisturizers. Lipstick, if average The price is less than one tael.”

“So it’s really not expensive?”

The little girl was convinced in a daze, thinking that the price was 25 taels. Not only is it inexpensive, it is also very affordable.

Wait, this is obviously half price.

If a few days pass, oh, 50 taels of silver!

Shen Xingqi subconsciously clenched the money bag around her waist again.

Cheng Xi glanced at the others and saw that Jiang Yuyao and Song Yan agreed on their faces and knew that the price was very fair.

However, in her opinion, it was still a bit expensive.

Prices in the Yan Dynasty were similar to those in modern times. A copper plate could be converted into one dollar, and a lipstick worth one tael of silver would cost 1,000 yuan.

emmm~~The most expensive lipstick in modern times only costs two to three hundred yuan~(╥╯^╰╥)~

There are always people coming and going in front of Qingyi Pavilion. This is the place. There are countless passers-by on the main street of the capital, and many people plan to go in and take a look when they see a new shop opening.

As expected, everyone came out with big bags and small bags.

The excitement increased as time went by, and the excitement was almost comparable to that of the fruit wine shop where the team was filming not far away.

"What does that new shop sell? Why are the customers so happy when they come out?"

"It seems to be a makeup shop. I saw the female shopkeeper this morning. She was very beautiful in red clothes. Very cool! ”

“ How about we go and have a look?”

“We’ll go after we finish buying the fruit wine. If we bring back the rouge gouache we’ve never seen before, we might be able to get a reward from the lady.”

“That’s it.”

The maids in the team murmured quietly, secretly deciding to visit later.

Although the shareholders of Qingyi Pavilion in the teahouse didn't know it, they knew that today's opening went very smoothly when looking at the endless stream of customers, and they all smiled very happily.

In the evening of the same day, not long after Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi returned to the Shen family courtyard, a clerk from the shop came to announce the good news. The first day's sales were so huge that Sister Hong closed the store early. .

***

Since its opening, Qingyi Pavilion has received many female relatives from Beijing every day, and its reputation has also spread in a small area.

The small shareholders began to be so enthusiastic about counting money that their hands cramped. This state lasted for several days before slowly easing up. However, every few days they would gather together and sit in the teahouse opposite the shop to chat.

Shen Xingqi brings Wang Shu to participate every time. God knows how happy she is after seeing the generous dividends.

Fortunately, the expensive lipstick did not come out of her pocket.

On the contrary, it goes into his own pocket.

Oh, the shares of more than one shop on this main street will go to the Shen family. In addition to Qingyi Pavilion, there is also the Qin family’s fruit wine shop!

Double happiness(〃'▽'〃)

Occasionally, Cheng Xi would accompany the little girl to chat. If she was lazy one day, she would stay at home - the little girl finally had her own social circle. She Parents must give them enough freedom.

Of course, as an adult, she does not sit around doing nothing every day.

After the Chinese New Year, Mr. Xu planned to take her to a free clinic. Since the weather got warmer, the old man and the young man set off to the villages in the suburbs, often changing places every day.

So a news gradually spread in Shiliba Village on the outskirts of Beijing. Recently, two miracle doctors came to the capital. They not only provided free medical treatment to the people, but sometimes even gave away medicines, saving countless people who were on the verge of life and death.

"The old miraculous doctor has an immortal spirit, and his acupuncture skills are superb!"

"The handsome young man next to the old man is even more handsome, and his medical skills are not bad at all. All the girls and daughters-in-law in our village will leave when they see him. There is no way to move!”

“How did I hear that the miraculous doctor had great martial arts skills and took down many local gangsters? "

"Oh, yes, yes, that's what happened. Oh, it's all the fault of Liu Lezi at the head of the village. It's not good to provoke anyone, but the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory and mocks the young master for his effeminate appearance. Isn’t that just asking for a fight?”

“The old miracle doctor treated Liu Leizi’s mother, and he even asked her to pay for the medicine!”
