After traveling through time, she went to practice her way of making money

Seeing that Su Shining really couldn't afford it, the old lady's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees: "You kept me waiting for so long even though you don't have enough money, really... Go away... Don't be so particular if you are poor." As she spoke, she waved her hand to urge Su Shining to leave.

Many people around them had already cast their eyes on them. Su Shining felt her face burning like fire, and the humiliation made her almost cry. Su Shian held Su Shining's hand tightly and said softly, "Sister, let's go."

Su Shining nodded slightly, his voice choking a little: "Yeah!"

However, Su Shian did not want to endure the ridicule and insults of others. She stopped, turned to the lady, and said righteously: "Auntie, although my sister does not have enough money to buy your rouge and powder now, your attitude is really too bad. At your age, you should understand the principle of friendship even if the deal fails."

After hearing this, the old lady was immediately furious. She glared and yelled, "Where did you come from, little brat? How dare you teach me a lesson? Get out of here right now!"

Although Su Shian and Su Shining left the rouge and powder shop in a rather embarrassed state, the old lady suffered even greater losses. Many customers in the shop chose to leave after seeing how she treated the two children. Some of them were the wives and daughters of the Li and Chen families. The old lady felt extremely regretful, but she could not stop everyone from leaving in a hurry.

After walking out of the shop for a while, Su Shining's complexion gradually returned to normal. She sighed softly and said to Su Shian beside her: "An'an, I'm so sorry for making you lose face with me."

Su Shian waved her hand indifferently, and instead showed a hint of happiness: "It's okay, sister, actually I didn't want you to buy those things for me, I was just embarrassed to say it directly."

"Besides, sister, although cinnabar and lead powder can make people's appearance more beautiful, they are actually toxic and can cause harm to the human body." Su Shian explained seriously.

At this moment, the two sisters were standing on the busy street, surrounded by people coming and going, and their conversation could not be overheard by others. Su Shining was a little nervous, and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Don't scare me, don't everyone use it this way?"

"I really didn't say anything nonsense..." Su Shian wanted to continue to defend himself.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind them: "She is right. She is not talking nonsense."

The two sisters turned around and saw Qin Caichun holding some items in his hands, as if he was about to go to a certain destination. His sudden appearance surprised the two of them.

Su Shining and Su Shian greeted him in unison: "Brother Caichun."

Qin Caichun noticed that the two of them were talking alone on the street, and couldn't help but approach them curiously and asked softly: "Sister Su, An An, where are you going? Are you going to buy rouge and powder?"

Su Shian nodded unabashedly and replied somewhat frustratedly: "Yes, I wanted to buy some rouge and powder, but... we were just kicked out by the store."

"Ah? Why is this happening?" Qin Caichun opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Su Shining sighed and explained helplessly: "Alas, it's because it's too expensive. We can't afford it at all."

Qin Caichun comforted him, "That's okay. Just like An An said, those things are effective, but they are still somewhat harmful to the body. Sister Su is naturally beautiful. Even without these, she is still beautiful."

Hearing this, Su Shian immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly to show her agreement: "Brother Caichun is right. Sister, look, even Brother Caichun praised you so much, and he also said that it would be better if you don't use those things. Don't be sad about this anymore!"

Su Shining smiled slightly. Although she still felt a little disappointed, she was no longer so entangled. She shook her head gently and said, "I'm not sad. It's just that girls always like these beautiful things."

At this moment, Su Shian suddenly had an idea and excitedly suggested: "Well, why don't we make our own rouge and powder!"

This idea made Su Shining's eyes light up. Yes, doing it by himself can not only meet the needs, but it may also become a good business!

So, the two sisters began to discuss the methods and materials of making rouge and powder while walking. They became more and more excited as they talked, as if they saw a bright future unfolding before their eyes. Qin Caichun followed them, smiling and watching them, secretly cheering them on in her heart.

However, if they want to use these rouge and powder more safely, they must be particularly particular about the selection of raw materials. For example, the raw materials of rouge, a common cosmetic, need to be red and blue flowers from the Western Regions.

Qin Caichun shared what she had learned: "It is rumored that the origin of rouge can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. At that time, women in Yan State were keen on growing safflower and extracting juice from the leaves of safflower to make a kind of rouge powder for facial decoration. Because this rouge powder was first made in Yan State, it was called 'rouge'."

Su Shian touched his head and expressed his confusion: "Huh? That's not what I heard! The version I know is that rouge was originally produced in Yanzhi Mountain in the northwest Xiongnu area of the previous dynasty. Xiongnu noble women often used 'Yanshi' (rouge) to make up their faces."

"Indeed, there is such a saying. I have also heard of it." Qin Caichun responded. In fact, he did not intend to elaborate too much, so as not to confuse people. Who would have thought that Su Shian actually knew so much!

In fact, rouge exists in two different main forms. One is made of silk cotton soaked in red and blue flower juice, and people call it "cotton swallow branch"; the other is processed into a small and thin petal shape, and has a unique name called "golden flower swallow branch". After these rouges are dried in the shade, they will turn into a thick and smooth cream, which is the rouge that is widely known. Rouge occupies an important position in the makeup of women today. It can make the whole face reveal a rosy and healthy complexion.

Su Shining asked curiously, "Why does Brother Caichun know so much about this?"

"As for me, of course I learned my knowledge from books! I will find the book and give it to you when I get home... I might as well just copy a copy for you." Thinking of how Su Shian had destroyed an ancient book on making tofu, he thought it would be better to be safe and think of other ways, otherwise the precious ancient book might be difficult to preserve.
