Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

The mother and daughter went to several pharmacies in the county town and bought all the herbs needed for the Chinese herbal mask. Liu took them home directly and asked her mother to supervise them in grinding the herbs to make sure they didn't make any mistakes. These were things to be used on the face, so they had to be handled carefully.

She was going back to the shop as it would open tomorrow, so she would sleep in the county town tonight.

It was already noon when Liu Yuhan returned to the store.

Honeysuckle has already prepared the meal, it is lightly cooked and quite delicious.

Several people had already moved a small bed from Liu Yuhan's room to the next room. Each room had three small beds.

"Will it be too crowded? You can share a room with me."

"No girl, the four of us are just perfect together."

"Okay then, everyone, go take a nap. I'm going to sleep for a while too."

After Liu Yuhan finished speaking, she couldn't help yawning. She got up too early this morning.

"Miss, you go and have a rest. We will take care of the store affairs." Bai Zhi said.

Liu Yuhan waved her hand and went into the room. She closed the door and fell asleep. She was still growing at her age.

I woke up after sleeping for an hour and found that the plaque had been delivered. Several people installed it together without covering it with red glue. If anyone came to ask what it was for sale, I would just tell them.

Arrange the soaps and perfumed soaps according to their colors. The prices are very simple anyway. Remember that soap is 30 wen and perfumed soap is 200 wen.

There will be a 27% discount on the first day of opening tomorrow. Soap is 180 cents and toilet soap is cents.

Liu Yuhan went to the flower and bird market and got two pots of money trees and placed them on both sides of the store.

Feeling like something was missing, she went to the main room to paint. She had also learned Chinese painting, but always felt that it was a little lacking. However, at least she had good brushes and paints.

Then draw a sketch and take out the sketching pencils.

A woman with long hair and a headscarf was washing clothes beside the stream. The setting sun cast golden light, and wild flowers and grass were lush beside the clear water. The clothes she was washing were bubbling, and even there were bubbles in the water. At her feet, there was a wooden box with soap in it.

Liu Yuhan also mentioned a line from a poem: "Sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, and a faint fragrance floats in the moonlight at dusk." This is a beautiful concept and also reflects the name of the shop.

Liu Yuhan's painting flowed smoothly, and she moved on to another. A mother was washing the hair of a chubby baby wearing a bellyband. A gentle smile graced her face as she rubbed the baby's hair, leaving a trail of colorful foam. Next to the woman, a wooden box contained blue soap.

Liu Yuhan wrote a poem: Who says that the love of a little grass can repay the kindness of three spring days?

When inspiration comes, I will draw another one. What should I draw? Let’s draw Fulai Village. Take out a piece of drawing paper of the largest size.

There is a big locust tree at the entrance of the village. Under the tree sits an old man, and next to him are a few children playing, all with happy smiles on their faces.

Flowers and wild grasses bloomed on both sides of the road, and rows of houses were reflected against the blue sky and white clouds. Not far away was a river, and willow trees swayed in the wind beside it. Across the river lay golden rice fields, and beyond them, mountains stretched out in the distance.

Poem: Don't laugh at the farmer's strong liquor, in a good year there are enough chickens and pigs to entertain guests. Mountains and rivers are so dense that there is no way out, but after the dark willows and flowers, another village is revealed.

Three parts painting and seven parts mounting.

Liu Yuhan asked Baizhi where she could frame the painting?

Bai Zhi and the others were stunned when they saw these portraits and poems! This painting is so vivid and beautiful, and the poem is simply amazing. This girl spent more than an hour to draw it, it's unbelievable!

Bai Zhi carefully accepted the paintings and took them to a large bookstore on North Street to have them framed. Afterward, they were hung prominently on the shop's wall. Needless to say, the shop staff were also amazed by the paintings and kept asking which master's masterpieces they were. Bai Zhi naturally kept her mouth shut.

After hanging the paintings, the shop feels different and more cozy.

By the time everything was ready, Jindong had already prepared dinner. After dinner, everyone washed up and went to bed early.

The next day, the shop opened normally. Red chrysanthemums hung on either side of the door. Two basins of water sat on a bench, and a soap bar and a soap bar were unpacked and placed in a wooden box next to the basins.

Everyone is curious.

Everyone was thinking that this might be the soap used for washing clothes, but why does it have color? I have never seen this before, so I wonder what the effect is?

Everyone was talking about it. Usually not many people came to this corner, but when they saw someone coming, everyone followed one after another.

Liu Yuhan took a piece of coarse cloth and smeared some oil on it in the kitchen.

"Everyone, come and take a look at our new shop if you're passing by. We mainly sell soap and scented soap. Soap is mainly used for washing clothes and hands, and of course, you can also use it for bathing and washing your hair. Scented soap is mainly used for bathing and washing your hair. Why is it called scented soap? Because it smells good. Everyone can pick it up and smell it."

"Seeing is believing. Let's see the effect of soap first. I have a dirty cloth used to wipe the table in the kitchen. There's some oil on it. Wet the cloth in water, put some soap on it, and scrub it."

Liu Yuhan rubbed the cloth as he spoke, and soon foam formed on his hands. He put the cloth into the basin, rubbed it in the water, and then held it up to show everyone.

"It's really clean now."

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The effect is so good. It is much better than wood ash and soapberry."

"Smell this soap and use it to bathe and wash your hair. It will smell amazing."

"I'm afraid this is very expensive. I haven't seen anyone selling it in the capital."

“That’s definitely expensive.”

"How do you sell this, girl?"

"Fellow villagers, soap and scented soap are not easy to make, but they are very effective. As you can see, this dirty cloth can be washed clean. This piece of soap is so big and hard, it is very difficult to use. This soap can be used for bathing and washing hair without the need for additional fragrance. It saves money and effort, doesn't it?"

"We're opening today, and we're offering a 30% discount on both soap and toilet soap. Soap is 27 wen a piece, but it's 200 wen today. Toilet soap is 180 wen a piece, but it's 4 wen today. We have four different soap colors. The discount is only for today. Quantities are limited, so if you're interested, come in and take a look. If you don't need any right now, you can come in and take a look."

Baizhi and the other three were all dressed neatly and stood at the door, welcoming guests with smiles.

As soon as the first one came in, the second and third followed. Everyone thought the soap was too expensive, but I managed to sell quite a few of them despite some effort.

"The portraits in this shop are really festive. Look at how well that boy painted them."

"The woman's expression as she looks at the child is very touching."

The two women looked at the portrait and commented in whispers.

Several young men dressed as scholars came in and looked up when they heard the words.

“Oh my God, oh my God, this painting and this poem!”

"Oh my god, these poems can be enshrined as gods, right?"

"Wow, that's amazing! I need to describe it, no, I need to memorize it first. 'When you've reached the end of your rope and there's no way out, there's always another village to be found.' This will surely become a famous line for all eternity!"

"There's also this saying, 'Who says a little bit of grass can repay the kindness of three springs?'"

"I want it too! Don't push me, don't push me..."

"If I hadn't seen the fragrance and brought you in, you wouldn't have been able to see such a masterpiece. Get out of the way, I'll go first!"

"This painting is still the best. What a peaceful pastoral scene."

“The colors of this painting are so special.”

"Which famous artist painted this? I've never seen such a painting style before."

People who came into the shop also looked at the paintings and marveled at their simplicity, yet vividness.

Uh, Liu Yuhan held his forehead.

"The handwriting on the soap packaging must be from the same person who drew the painting. Look at the words written on the paper. They are somewhat similar to the words in the painting."

"Indeed. The handwriting is so elegant and clean. It must be the work of a master."

"The calligraphy on the portrait is absolutely amazing, round and powerful. What kind of font is this? Can anyone tell me?"

"I want to buy this soap. Can you lend me some money first?"

"I want to buy some too, but I don't have any money to lend you."

"Stop arguing, I have some silver here. Don't make noise and disturb me." A richly dressed young man put a piece of silver, about five taels, on the counter.

"Give me one of each color, and ask them for the rest."

"Okay, sir. I'll pack it for you right away. Since you're our first customer, you can get a 10% discount. I can even pack it for you in a gift basket."

"No need for a discount. Wouldn't it be an insult to these paintings? These words are priceless."

"Well, that's fine, sir. We'll pack it up for you in a beautiful bamboo basket and you can give it to someone else as a gift."

"Give it to others? Yes, yes, give me 5 pieces of each color. Divide them into 5 baskets, I will give them to others." As he said this, he took out a slightly larger piece of silver.

"I want one too. I want one too. Give me one bar of each color soap. Take two bars of soap and put it on his account first."

"I'm short of money, so I took a bar of soap and yellow soap."

"I want a blue one. It says 'the disciple surpasses the master'. It has a very good meaning."

"Then I want a white one, very clear and smooth, to give to my wife."

"I want a pink piece, like a peach blossom, to give to my fiancée."

"Hey, you guys, make way after you finish your shopping. I need to buy some for my wife and concubine. Give me 6 pieces of each color, no, 10 pieces of each color, and put them in a gift basket for me. No need for discounts, this is exactly eight taels of silver."

A middle-aged customer with a big belly and the appearance of a wealthy businessman came over and directly took out a small silver ingot and placed it on the counter.

"Okay, Mr. Li, please wait a moment." Wuyou said to the rich businessman.

"Hey, isn't this the famous song from Chunxiang Pavilion in the prefectural city? Why don't you sing anymore?"

"Boss Li, my boss has redeemed me and I'm working here now."

"What a pity for your good voice."

"Boss Li, this is your soap. Please come and patronize us more often in the future."

"Which master created the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall? I want to find this master to help me paint a few pictures."

"Well, sorry, Boss Li, I can't tell you."

"Then next time I come, tell the master that the price is negotiable. Just help me draw a few pictures and write a few poems."

"Okay, Mr. Li, take care. I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth."

Boss Li walked slowly behind several servants carrying bamboo baskets.

This is the fastest and largest business transaction in their store.

Liu Yuhan was a little confused.

She was selling soap. These ancient poems were also written down casually when they were deeply imprinted in her mind during her school days. I had never expected the ancients to be so good at calligraphy and poetry. They caused such a sensation and boosted the store's business.
