Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl
Chapter 232 Cosmetics
Anyway, this wave of reverse promotion made Yu Xiuming rich overnight. Not only did the orders from the Great Zhou Dynasty increase to an overwhelming number, but even people from overseas came to buy it. This glass is a good thing and can be used in every aspect of life.
At the same time, Yu Xiuming did not think that these people could not figure out the formula of glass, nor did he intend to keep them hanging. Instead, he planned to build a glass factory in Daxing so that he could have firm control over the situation in his own hands. Because of the fragile nature of glass, Yu Xiuming deliberately chose several large cities when choosing the site. In this way, even if the surrounding towns wanted to buy glass, they could just go to the city to look at it, and they didn't even need to go to other places to buy it.
As there was a large demand for glass overseas, Yu Xiuming asked someone to bring two craftsmen with him when he went out to sea. He decided to build his own glass factory and mirror factory overseas, and then collected things specifically for making cosmetics. He had been coveting the bottles and jars on his wife's dressing table for a long time.
Just when he was looking for secret recipes, he suddenly saw the formula for a facial cream. Only then did he realize that this thing actually didn't cost much and could be made, but when it was sold, it was indeed sold at a very high price. He once went to buy rouge for his wife, and that small box of rouge cost three taels of silver.
But in fact, the capital required is less than one ounce, and at most one more labor fee is added. In other words, this small box of rouge can earn half of the money by selling one box. It is simply a model of huge profits! This is not Yu Xiuming who was directly tempted, so he began to collect various raw materials and planned to study them carefully. The sound quality is very simple now. It is made of lard and wood ash to make pig aunties, which can be used to wash the face or take a bath, or the juice of flowers and flour is mixed together to make rouge, or the lard is combined with the powder dried by the flower juice to make oil rouge, or various powdery loose powders. These are also very expensive, even the lip paper for lip dyeing is ridiculously expensive, but these are very simple, and those who have servants at home will not make them directly at home.
Except for some family recipes, they are still better than these ordinary rouge and powder. However, the powder is not fine enough and the particles are coarse, which are big problems. After all, even if it is pearl powder, it is easy to have rough particles without water washing, and it is still not smooth when used. But his wife has a method that can be used for washing, which can make the powder fine and continuous. So after Yu Xiuming asked the servants in the family who had signed the death contract to experiment, they still found that the powder bought for you by Insomnia is better, even better than those offered to the palace.
Yu Xiuming had already arranged for his servants to study these rouge and powder, and even began to study the issue of emulsification. These products are much better than those greasy lotions made with lard. As long as they work hard, these chemical research products will be available soon. The cost of these things is really not high. Even when the materials are similar, Yu Xiuming even specially uses bottles with shallower mouths to package them.
Anyway, Yu Xiuming's nature as a profiteer made him know everything about pea powder. He even reduced the amount of the newly developed gouache and increased the price. When Wang Shiyu found out, she was stunned. She felt that the lotion formula he put down before was just random. After all, she couldn't use it herself.
She has spiritual spring water, so she doesn't need the help of these things. Even the cosmetics on the dressing table are just there to look good. Although they are relatively expensive, Wang Shiyu is not willing to use these cosmetics with lead powder.
Knowing that what Yu Xiuming was researching was the kind without additives, Wang Shiyu took a few boxes and studied them for a while, and then returned them. Wang Shiyu just ordered it to be sent back, even though the thing was very good, but Wang Shiyu didn't need it.
Meanwhile, Master Liu returned home after a full day of classes. He first went to the room to check on his sleeping daughter to make sure she was alright. Then he left the room and went to the yard. He looked at his wife who was in a daze in the yard and casually took a stool and sat next to her.
"Yingying's problem must be solved. That kid surnamed Shao's family is not good at all. They are extremely poor and have many rules. How can they afford to support Yingying?
Do you think they can really afford to support the spoiled Yingying? Yingying grew up by my side and never suffered any hardship. From childhood to adulthood, she always had the best food, clothing and daily necessities.
I don't know why you had to find her a husband from such a poor family and have her stay there stubbornly. How could an unmarried girl work in the home of a man she had just gotten engaged to? Even when they were engaged, there was no token of love yet. What's the difference between this and not being engaged at all?
The Shao family is too bullying. Not only does the widowed mother bully her, but even the boys from the Shao family bully her to death. What are you thinking?
So you just told Yingying directly that you would let her work like that for others in the future? Are you really willing to do that?"
Mrs. Liu listened to her husband's words and pondered for a moment, but she felt that it was nothing. After all, every woman went through this. If she married a man, how would she let her Yingying do these things? She didn't seem very happy, and then she started talking.
"But isn't this how we women all get by? After we get married, we take care of our husbands and children.
Yingying, even if you marry into the Shao family, the boy from the Shao family is a scholar and has decent knowledge. When the time comes, you can help him pass the imperial examination and become a juren. Then our Yingying will be the wife of a juren.
If there is a chance to go further, the wife of the official family is much better than the two of us. After all, that boy is ambitious, so I think why can't the people of the Shao family do it? Even if the boy of the Shao family is a fifth-rank official in the future, it will be better than now. "
Mrs. Liu felt that she was considering this for her daughter's sake, and she didn't understand why her husband hated her choice so much.
Mr. Liu was almost laughed at by his cousin and wife. He could see what kind of person that man was and what he was thinking. He knew that he was a person who had no ambition and only tried to find ways to take the crooked path.
How could she think that this person would have any great future? By great future, could it be that he would scheme against his father-in-law's family? How did he lose his job? It seemed that this person had completely forgotten.
"You'd better not do this just because you think you are doing someone good. If you do this, have you ever thought that this person is simply not ambitious? If he really has the ability, he would not have schemed against our Yingying.
You have to know that Yingying is a little ignorant of the world because she was raised by you. But this man was able to persuade Yingying to compete with me for the school job. Do you really think he is a good man?
If Yingying really married him, then all the resources I have now would probably be taken away by him. He even shamelessly instigated Yingying to go to the Mo family. You must know the situation of the Mo family, so you let them go even though you knew the situation of the Mo family.
You have to think clearly, do you want to live a hard life with me, or find a well-off family for Yingying, let her be the head of the family, be the mistress of a small household, and live a life of wealth and worry-free, isn't that good?
Why did she have to accompany a poor boy to start all over again? In the end, all they struggled for was to have enough food and clothing. Even the people in the Shao family couldn't afford it, so Yingying had to spend money to support him. All the pocket money in Yingying's hands was cheated away by the people in the Shao family.
Yingying has been brought up by you to be a little naive, and she thinks she can do everything, but in fact, reality will slap her hard in the face. I don't want this child to go astray in the future, so think about it carefully."
"I have already thought about Yingying's matter. If Yingying still wants to marry that man, then you and I should just get divorced. I don't want to be dragged down by him anymore. I won't even have a life to support myself in my old age. This man is not a good man at all.
The most important thing is that I don’t want to be alone in my old age. Although it is said that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, there is no need for me to plot against my father-in-law to death.
You should know that Ruirui is going to take the examination to become a student one year, because he is almost ten years old. His knowledge is even better than that unambitious person in the Shao family.
By that time, you will understand what a true genius is, and your Shao family kid is just a mediocrity and a fool."
After listening to her husband's words, Mrs. Liu fell silent for a rare time. After losing her husband's job in the school, she had actually regretted it. After being scolded by her daughter today, she seemed to understand that she really had no money in her hands.
She never kept the money that Mr. Liu gave her in the past, and always spent it on her daughter or husband.
To be honest, although she was not in a clear mind, she still had some brains when it came to thinking for her daughter and husband.
