I trade in both worlds

Xu Ziqing said unhappily, "Oh, you are an ancient person, so of course you should give it a more elegant color name, just like the moon is called Jade Toad or Ice Toad. You should give it an elegant name, understand? It is an elegant name, an elegant name, and important things should be said three times."

"But..." Xu Xu could only read. She was proficient in nine out of ten arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she knew nothing at all. She only knew that the moon was also called jade plate, and she didn't even know that it could also be called jade toad or ice toad.

"Oh, there's nothing to worry about. Just think about it quickly. If you can't think of it, search it online." Xu Ziqing pulled Xu Xu up and pushed her into the studio, closed the door, and then started drawing with a drawing board.

Xu Xu sat helplessly on the workbench, took a pen and paper and wrote down red, cherry, milk tea, and bean paste, then picked up his phone to look up what the elegant name for red was.

A search brought up a bunch of colors like Begonia Red, Scarlet Red, Machilus, etc. Xu Xu looked at them one by one and felt that none of them looked right.

After thinking about it, I searched for bright red, but the results were similar. Finally, I remembered the Chinese red I searched in the video, and this time there were a few more colors such as crimson, crimson fat, crimson gauze, crimson hat, and crimson knot.

Xu Xu immediately fell on the two words "Jiangzhi". "Jiang" represents bright red, and "zhi" represents rouge. There is no more suitable name than these two words.

So he picked up a pen and wrote the word "Jiangzhi" under the red.

This reminded Xu Xu of the elegant names of colors that Zhang Yunxiang had told her when she was a child. She remembered that Jiangzhi was actually the color of rouge.

Thinking of this, she found three other colors of lipstick and picked up the cherry color. How should this be described?

As she was looking at it, she suddenly thought of apple tree. She picked up her phone to search for it and saw two lines of poetry: "Spring has spread across all the flowers, leaving apples and crabapples in bloom."

Just seeing the two words "Qingdan" was like smelling a strong fruity aroma. Xu Xu smiled, put down the pottery jar in his hand, and wrote the two words "Qingdan" under the cherry color.

The bean paste color is simple, it looks like the color of red beans. Xu Xu knows a plant called Su wood, and the dye extracted from it is similar in color to the bean paste color. This color is called Sufang, or Sufang.

Xu Xu thought about it and wrote the words "Su Fang" under the bean paste color.

As for the milk tea color, Xu Xu used a lip brush to gently scoop up a small piece and put it on the back of her left hand. She first dipped a little with her right index finger and began to apply it on the back of her hand, and then applied the rest thickly.

She looked at the two colors carefully. Both of them had a hint of brown. The word "Mei Ran" came to Xu Xu's mind, so she simply searched for this color on her phone.

Plum dye looks a bit similar to the color of the lipstick in the jar, but it is different from the color when applied. After hesitating for a while, I finally wrote Plum dye under the milk tea color.

The name was finally decided. Xu Xu picked up the paper with ease and walked to the living room humming the popular tune in the video.

Xu Ziqing turned to look at her when he heard the voice: "What are you so happy about?"

Shaking the paper in his hand, Xu Xu raised his chin and said, "Here you go."

Xu Ziqing scanned her from head to toe and took the paper: "What is this?"

"You'll see when you see it." After saying that, she ignored him and just lay down on the sofa and started browsing her phone.

"Wow, that's amazing." Xu Ziqing asked after seeing the names on the paper, "What do these names mean?"

As Xu Xu was brushing, he said nonchalantly, "It's just another name for the color. You can look up the corresponding color online yourself."

"Are the nicknames for colors used by the ancients so elegant?" Xu Ziqing stared at Xu Xu with his eyes wide open.

"Yeah, it does sound better than red and blue."

Seeing these names, Xu Ziqing looked at the various flower pictures she had just drawn on the hand-painted board. She felt that it would be enough to just draw a branch pattern.

However, the fonts need to be designed, such as oracle bone script, large seal script, or graphic fonts and irregular fonts.

It took Xu Ziqing three days to design the font he wanted, and then he went online to look for pottery jars.

Xu Xu didn’t know how her pottery jar was customized, but when she saw the finished product, she was stunned.

It was just a small box the size of a palm. Xu Xu looked around and asked, "How many did you buy?"

"One thousand of each color, four thousand in total." Xu Ziqing replied as he unpacked the box and inspected it: "This is a sample."

"Four thousand?" Xu Xu's voice was about to break as she wailed. "How long do we have to do this?"

"Don't worry, you don't have to do it." Xu Ziqing handed the small pottery jar in his hand to Xu Xu: "Look, it's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Beautiful, beautiful." Xu Xufu took the pottery jar and replied, "Are you planning to make 4,000 bottles yourself?"

Xu Ziqing looked at her and shook his index finger: "Nonono, I found a factory to do the OEM according to our way. Those pottery jars have been sent to the factory. These are samples."

"Where did you find the factory? Is it expensive?" After hearing that he didn't have to do it himself, Xu Xu finally felt like looking at the pottery jars.

Xu Ziqing packed the disassembled instant noodle boxes in a plastic bag and placed it at the door: "Lin Feng introduced it to me. We made the whole batch, and the total cost was less than 30,000."

Xu Xu nodded: "When can the goods be delivered?"

"It will be shipped very soon. It will be shipped next Tuesday and we will receive it on Thursday."

"That's pretty fast." Xu Xu picked up the vacuum cleaner and cleaned up the foam crumbs in the yard.

Xu Ziqing picked up the small pottery jar and said as he walked, "Xuxu, I'm going to make some rose essential oil and bring it to Sister Feng."

"Ah?" Xu Xu stopped what he was doing and looked at her in confusion: "Why are you in such a hurry to make essential oils?"

"The factory that makes our lipsticks can also make essential oils, so I thought of asking them to make a batch together."

Xu Xu nodded: "Sister Qing, I think we should wait a little longer. Let's send the lipstick over first and see what kind of buyer she can help us find. If she does a good job, we can sell essential oils next."

"Okay, just do as you say."

Xu Xu took the sample jar and looked at it carefully. The jar was small and exquisite, with a diameter probably the length of a thumb. The inside of the bottle cap was half a centimeter deep and was carefully wrapped with cotton cloth.

The words "Jiangzhi" were written in large seal script on the big red jar, and the bottle cap was a blooming rose.

The cherry-colored jar also has "Qindan" written in large seal script, and the bottle cap is a blooming crabapple flower. Su Fang's bottle cap is a carnation, and Mei Ran's is a plum blossom.

The colors of the bottle caps range from light to dark, and the darkest color is exactly the same as the color of lipstick. The overall look is like a tea bowl covered with a fresh flower.

Xu Xu pulled the cotton cloth on the bottle cap and found that it was firmly stuck. "What is it glued on so firmly?"
