Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Zhao Yuanzhen asked the five people to stand aside first.

"The remaining 45 people will start learning a complete set of beauty skills from today. You will be divided into groups of two. The extra ones will be in a group with Lan Ying. After 10 days, I will select 30 technicians from among you, and the remaining 15 will be assigned other odd jobs. Those who don't want to do odd jobs should study hard on their own."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Now you can form teams freely, 2 people in a group."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhao Yuanzhen gave them 5 minutes, and after 5 minutes, the group was basically completed.

"No team came forward."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Okay, you will be in a group with Lan Ying. From now on, Lan Ying will be responsible for teaching you a complete set of beauty techniques and services. Watch carefully."

Zhao Yuanzhen had already placed the massage chair in the main room in advance.

Lan Ying started talking about each item on the cart.

Then the formal tutorial began. On the first day of teaching, Lan Ying only taught facial care methods.

There are 5 massage chairs in the main room, 5 groups for training and learning.

Lan Ying was checking and correcting things from the side.

Zhao Yuanzhen took the five people who could paint and started teaching manicure in the nearby place.

"You five will learn manicure from me. I'll do it first and show you. You can practice on your own."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Give me your hand. Ask the customer what shape they want their nails to be. This is round, this is square."

Zhao Yuanzhen demonstrated with the nail clippers.

"The second thing is what style you want. We have kohl and painted. Kohl is a solid color, just apply it evenly, and painted means drawing some patterns on the nails, like this."

Show everyone the printed nail art pattern book.

"It's so beautiful that nails can be made so beautifully."

"Yes, there are many patterns for nail art, and this is just a part of them. After you learn it, you can also create and draw it yourself. Now let's make a kind of Kou Dan first. Come, you choose a color."

"I don't understand, please make the decision, Madam."

"Then paint it red. Red will make your hands look whiter."

Zhao Yuanzhen carefully painted all ten of her fingers.

Apply one and blow dry, let it sit for a while, then use two fingers to move back and forth in alternating patterns.

It's just that the work is a bit slow. It takes me half an hour to make a Kou Dan with both hands.

"Okay, don't scratch it for now. Wait until the nail polish is completely dry."

"Okay, ma'am."

"Does it look good?"

"Mmmm, it's very beautiful, ma'am. It makes your hands look thinner and longer, and whiter and tenderer."

"Yes, red makes your skin look brighter. Just go and watch from the sidelines, and make sure you don't scratch your nails. Who else would want to come?"

"May I come, ma'am?"

"Please sit down. Let's do another painting. Sometimes a painting is a series. For example, this pattern is all plum blossoms, but some have one, some have two, or half a plum blossom. We should pay attention to leaving blank space. When painting, we should use this brush. First, dip a little nail polish and paint lightly. If you make a mistake, it doesn't matter. Just take this tissue and wipe it off. The main thing is to wipe it off before it dries, otherwise it will be difficult to wipe off."

"Yes, ma'am."

"When we draw this plum blossom, we can lightly draw the outline first, and then change the color to fill it in."

Zhao Yuanzhen made a set of patterns for the little girl.

Then I picked the more difficult ones and did three sets, completing the fingers of all five people.

She had custom-made fake nails made of shells for them to practice on.

"Okay, now you start practicing. Start with the first pattern and practice the whole book. If you don't know how to draw, you can discuss it with others. If you still don't know how to draw, ask me."

"Yes, ma'am."

A few little girls looked at the beautiful fingernails and started to learn by following the pattern.

The basic ones are all made of Kou Dan. Because of the material of the shell, it is easy to wipe off after painting, so you can practice repeatedly.

Outside is for billiards practice, and inside is for technicians and manicurists.

Zhao Yuanzhen went to the shop in the afternoon to check. She felt uneasy if she didn't keep an eye on it.

I first looked at the construction status of two stores. After checking that there were no problems, I went to the furniture store to order furniture.

The billiard items will be delivered first, and the beauty salon items will be delivered 13 days later.

"Hello ma'am, what can I do for you?"

Zhao Yuanzhen was thinking about the furniture she needed.

The billiard hall doesn't need a lot. Ten sets of tables and chairs are set up on both sides of the wall in the first floor hall, that is, one table and two stools, 10 sets of tables and chairs on each side. In addition, two narrow clothes hangers with 5 pieces, also 6 on each side. In addition, 3 flower tables and 8 incense tables are set up.

The private room upstairs has a set of tables and chairs, a Luohan bed, a clothes hanger, an incense table, and a flower table.

That’s basically it.

As for the beauty salon, it needs a lot.

The lobby on the first floor requires a few sets of tables and chairs.

The changing room requires several sets of tables and chairs, and each compartment requires an armchair and a narrow clothes hanger.

There are two Luohan beds next to the cabinet for temporary rest or organizing clothes.

A small pharmacy needs a set of desks and chairs, a screen, a bed, two armchairs, a flower table, and a clothes hanger.

The warehouse has already had a lot of storage racks built by craftsmen.

The kitchen needs 4 tableware cabinets, 2 food cabinets, and other worktops are all made by craftsmen.

Next is the leisure and entertainment hall, and on the left is the mahjong room. Each mahjong room requires a similar set of mahjong tables, a Luohan bed, two flower tables, and an incense table.

Several sets of dressing tables and tables and chairs are needed behind the stage.

Two 3-meter-long tables are needed under the stage, each with 8 armchairs.

The small stand behind the long table is where the round bed will be placed, so just ignore it.

There should be several billiard tables on the right side of the stage, and next to the billiard tables there should also be a set of tables and chairs for two people, a total of four sets.

The lobby also needs some flower tables, screens, incense tables, and other decorative furniture.

There is a small compartment on the second floor, which contains a set of table and chairs for 2 people, an incense table and two flower tables.

For a larger room, you can add a Luohan bed, screen, etc. depending on the location.

Zhao Yuanzhen gathered all the furniture together and told the furniture store.

The billiard hall requires it to be delivered 3 days later, and the beauty salon requires it to be delivered after 13 days.

I paid the deposit, took the receipt and left.

This batch of furniture weighed more than 900 taels.

Looking at the time, she planned to go to Zhang Xinshu's academy to pick him up after school.

After waiting at the school gate for about half an hour, I saw Zhang Xinshuo.

"Xin Shu, here!"

"Mom, why are you here?"

"I was worried, so I came to see you."

"How often do you take a rest?"

"It's a day off on the 10th, because school starts on the 6th. Today is 9, so tomorrow is a day off."

"That's good. You can go home and pack up some things you need."

"Yes, I thought so too."

"Are you getting used to the academy? How's the Master? How's your teacher?"

"The teachers and professors are all very nice, and they are also very nice to their classmates."

Zhang Xinshu didn't say that there were always a few classmates who secretly made trouble for him, simply because they were jealous of him for becoming the closed disciple of the Grand Tutor. However, his mother didn't need to worry about such trivial matters, and he could easily solve them himself.

"That's fine. Where do you usually eat lunch?"

"I have lunch at the academy. There is dining in the academy. I go to the dessert shop for breakfast and dinner."

"Okay, then I'll give you another five taels of silver as pocket money every month."

"No, mother, I still have money."

"That's your private money, keep it. Mother gives you this as living expenses, dear."

"Ok."

It's a bit embarrassing. At this age, I still have to coax a child like that.

"Well, let's go back to the shop."

"Okay, mother."

Zhao Yuanzhen came on horseback, and then rode back with Zhang Xinshuo.

"Mom, I also want to learn how to ride a horse. Can you teach me?"

"Sure, I'll teach you tomorrow."

"Okay, mother."

"Will you take part in the college and provincial examinations this spring?"

"Participate, mother."

"Okay, then does our shop have any impact on you?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as the business is not under my name."

"Okay, that's fine. Are there any pens, inkstones, papers, or books you need?"

"Mom, I've finished reading the book you gave me last time. Please get me some more."

"Okay, what kind do you want to see?"

"Any type is fine. The teacher said that learning is not limited to one type. The world is full of learning."

"Your teacher is a flexible person."

"Yeah, the teacher is very nice. A bit like a mother."

"Like me what?"

"It's just very casual and free, not bound by formalities."

"That's good. It won't turn you into a stuffy little pedant."

"What kind of person does mother want me to become?"

"I haven't thought about it specifically, but I think I can accept you no matter what you become."

"Don't you like cold, aloof and dark-hearted men?"

"Pfft, why do you think so?"

He actually guessed it right. I couldn't help being so deeply influenced by the novel.

"Didn't you mention before that in the book you were going to write, there were things like a cold-blooded killer, a cold regent, a domineering prince, and a black-bellied prime minister?"

"I'm just saying it casually. You can look whatever you want. Don't pay attention to others, including me. Got it?"

"understood."

It’s too late. I’ve already gone further and further down the dark path.

The two of them had their meal in the shop, and Zhao Yuanzhen slept in the shop, not wanting to bother anymore.

Zhang Xinshu went back to the shop to have a rest, and the two of them would go back together tomorrow.

The next day, I went around a few shops and followed Zhang Xinnian's milk delivery truck back.

After leaving the city, Zhao Yuanzhen began to slowly teach Zhang Xinshu how to ride a horse.

He is indeed a smart person and learns things quickly.

After Zhao Yuanzhen taught him a few key points about riding a horse, he learned it after trying a few times. This may also be related to his ability to drive a horse-drawn carriage.

Zhang Xinshu rode his horse and followed the carriage back.

Students can go to and from school on horseback in the academy. Zhao Yuanzhen decided to buy a horse for Zhang Xinshu tomorrow. He doesn't like being picked up and dropped off by a carriage, so he can ride a horse to and from school by himself.

"Xin Shu, I'm going to buy you a horse tomorrow. How about it for your commute to school?"

"That's fine, mother. We have a groom in our academy who takes care of the horses. You just need to pay a monthly fee."

"That's easy. I'll buy a horse tomorrow and send it to you in the evening."

"Thank you for your hard work, mother."

"What's so hard about this?"
