The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"What I said is true." Whether it was jade or pearls, she would not treat them unfairly.

"Okay, okay, okay, as long as the young lady doesn't force me to get married." That way, he could always stay with the young lady and ignore the dowry.

"Okay, it's up to you. You can decide your own lifelong affairs yourself."

"Thank you, Miss." Feicui half-knelt and saluted, then asked, "Miss, when do you plan to open the store?"

"Whenever it's ready, open it."

Gu Yin didn't expect that just as the store managed by Feicui announced that it was ready to open, the Nishang Pavilion managed by her mother was also ready to open.

"Mom, have you prepared all the clothes that can be sold when the business opens?" Gu Yin exclaimed when she heard her mother asking for her opinion on the business opening.

"Yeah, it's almost done." Xue smiled gently, "But I'm thinking about whether I should organize some activities when the business opens."

The weather is getting colder and colder, and many people are no longer willing to go out, especially the ladies and girls from wealthy families, who stay at home almost every day.

If Xue didn't organize some activities to promote the products, he was worried that the clothes wouldn't sell. If there was a large backlog, he would lose all his money.

Gu Yin thought for a moment and suggested, "Mom, how about we hold a fashion show?"

"Fashion show?" Xue was puzzled. "What is it?"

"Mom, that's not a thing." Gu Yin explained, "You can think of it as a stage performance. But this fashion show doesn't require singing, we just need to ask people to wear our clothes and walk around the stage a few times."

Gu Yin paused here and said, "Well... just walking around a few times might be too monotonous. How about inviting some girls who are good at singing and dancing to perform in our costumes? We can set up a temporary stage in front of the store and perform for the people passing by."

Gu Yin said as she danced and gestured: "Didn't we also design parent-child clothing? Mom can also try to invite a few couples to bring their children to the stage to show them off."

Xue listened and thought quietly for a while before saying, "That sounds good. We should spread the news in advance to attract the ladies and girls from various families to come and watch."

"Mom, you are so smart. You understand things immediately." Gu Yin praised.

"You kid." Xue smiled angrily, "But in this case, the opening time will be postponed for a few days."

Things like setting up the stage, inviting performers, selecting programs, etc. all need to be arranged.

"Postpone it for a few days..." Gu Yin suddenly thought of her cosmetics business and clapped her hands, "Hey, what a coincidence!"

"Huh?" Xue was surprised, not understanding what her daughter meant by "coincidentally".

"It just so happens that I'm planning to make some cosmetics these days. When mother invites someone to perform, they can use my newly made cosmetics. Wouldn't it be a chance for me to promote my products at the same time?" Gu Yin's eyebrows flew up, and her joy was beyond words.

"Oh, this is such a coincidence." Xue exclaimed, and then started to laugh too.

"Hehe, it's really a coincidence." Gu Yin didn't expect these things to come together, but this is a good thing.

By holding a performance, you can promote both clothing and cosmetics at the same time, which is cost-effective.

Time was urgent, so Gu Yin no longer hesitated and said to Xue: "Mom, I'll get busy first."

"Go ahead." Xue nodded gently, "But no matter how busy you are, you must pay more attention to rest and don't tire yourself out."

"Thank you for your concern, mother. I know." Gu Yin smiled comfortingly, turned around and ran back to her room.

Sitting at the desk, Gu Yin began to think about what needed to be done as soon as possible. After thinking for a while, Gu Yin picked up the pen and wrote down foundation, highlighter, rouge, lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and eyebrow pencil on the paper.

By the way, we also need to find a way to come up with two other flavors for the face cream.

Gu Yin looked at the pile of cosmetics listed on the paper and pulled out a handful of her hair. There were so many things to make. Gu Yin couldn't help but wail in her heart, wondering how many strands of her hair would be left after all these things were taken out.

But no matter how much we complain, we still have to do what we need to do, and do it well. Whether our own cosmetics industry can rise depends on this time.

Gu Yin took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and then thought about the raw materials needed to make these things.

First, the foundation. I don’t know if I can find dolomite powder. If not, I will use rice powder, angelica root, and flower petals…

Highlight powder requires pearl powder. In fact, in later generations, liquid highlighter is also needed to make highlight powder, but it is difficult to make it here. So just make do with it for now. I hope pearl powder can be more effective. I can only try it first.

There are other cosmetics that require slightly different materials, but they also have many common substances, such as glycerin.

Gu Yin recalled the cosmetics she saw in Xiang Tao's shop two days ago. Compared with the cosmetics in later generations, they were generally greasy. Gu Yin guessed that they probably added animal fats. Although it can be seen that they have controlled the proportion of fats, they cannot be refreshing.

This is also one of the reasons why Gu Yin is more confident about the product she is about to make. They can only use oil, but Gu Yin can make glycerin first, and then use it to mix other cosmetics. It can not only solve the problem of greasiness, but also make the cosmetics fit better with the skin.

From the quiet room, there could be heard the rustling sound of brushes writing on paper and the occasional rustling sound of papers being turned.

This took two hours, until Zhenzhu knocked on the door and called for dinner, and Gu Yin was suddenly awakened.

"It's so late." Gu Yin was a little surprised.

Pearl nodded: "Yes. Miss, you were so absorbed in your writing that you didn't even respond when I came in and turned on the light."

"Haha... Really... I really didn't notice that." Gu Yin glanced at the kerosene lamp beside her, which was emitting black smoke.

"Miss, don't sit for so long next time. If Madam finds out, she'll be worried again." Pearl muttered.

Gu Yin stood up and stretched, then said naturally, "Okay..."

Zhenzhu went forward to help Gu Yin clean up the table: "Miss, have you been thinking about cosmetics all afternoon?"

"Hehe, you're the smart one." Gu Yin said in a relaxed tone.

"Look at the young lady, have you thought of a solution?"

"That's right. Don't you see who your young lady is?" Gu Yin took the stack of papers from Zhenzhu's hand, raised her chin, and said proudly, "Look, I have written ten pages full of papers. This is the result of my afternoon!"

"The young lady is so amazing!" Pearl cheered. The young lady really knows everything. It's amazing.

"Hehe...just so-so..." Gu Yin spoke modestly, but the expression on her face betrayed her.

After putting the prescription in the box, Gu Yin called Zhenzhu, "Let's go and eat."
