The cost of trial and error in drawing pictures is low. If you draw the wrong proportions, it will just waste a few sheets of paper.
But if you start carving it by hand, it is not only a waste of wood, but also a waste of your hands!
Thinking of this, Dong Nuan nodded towards Dianthus and said, "It's a little difficult, so prepare some pen and ink."
As soon as Shizhu heard this, he quickly went to prepare.
Dong Nuan drew pictures all night, and then drew a question mark on her forehead.
She had seen this thing before when she was in the human world, but...
Having seen it, using it, and knowing exactly how it is made or what its dimensions are are quite different things.
Dong Nuan could only draw vague sketches based on his general understanding.
But what are the proportions?
What proportions are needed so that it can rotate?
Dong Nuan said, who the hell knows?
Looking at Dong Nuan's doubtful look on life, Shi Zhu was still a little nervous: "How about we take a break and paint again tomorrow?"
In Dianthus' opinion, it is impossible to carve out the warmth of winter, so anything that requires drawing must be particularly difficult.
Isn't it normal to be unable to draw for a while?
Dong Nuan also felt that there was no point in staying trapped like this. It was better to go back and find some books to read, maybe there would be some inspiration.
It happens to be spring planting recently, so I can go to the fields to find some inspiration.
Thinking of this, Dong Nuan sorted out the discarded papers. These were all data that were suspected of failure and had to be kept to save herself from doing repeated useless work in the future.
After putting it away and sorting it out, Dong Nuan took Dianthus to rest.
The next day, the weather was nice.
After entering May, a spring rain fell in the past two days, and it rained intermittently for two days. After moistening everything, the rain stopped, the weather became better, and the temperature became more pleasant.
After washing and eating in Dong Nuan, she put on ultramarine clothes.
Dianthus is wearing a long coat with a stand-up collar and large sleeves, and a horse-faced skirt of the same color. Dianthus specially prepared two beautiful blue strings. This is a new pattern recently developed by Dianthus. There are also a few blue jade beads strung in the middle of the strings.
, making the whole complex look much higher-grade, but also more elegant.
It's not tacky, but has a hint of nobility. It's not as eye-catching as a jade pendant, but it also has a fresh meaning.
Dong Nuan felt that this move was quite good. She was originally a white peasant girl, so there was no need to look particularly exaggerated and gorgeous.
The head is a simple pair of ya, and the other beads are made by Dianthus herself. They follow the same route as Luozi, but they match Dong Nuan's clothes today.
The curtain is also made of indigo gauze, a thin layer that does not affect the view.
Dong Nuan was very satisfied with the outfit of Dianthus. After signaling the other party to change into new clothes, the two of them took a carriage to Pinxiang Pavilion.
Pinxiang Pavilion is the shop of the county magistrate's wife. When Gou County Magistrate came here to be the county magistrate, she bought it at a low price, made some renovations, and opened a spice shop.
The spice shop sells things like lard soap, which is just right.
Therefore, the sales of lard soap were originally planned here.
Pinxiang Pavilion was a bit far from the city gate. Shi Qing drove a carriage and walked for nearly half an hour before arriving.
Pinxiang Pavilion usually has a lot of customers, but today the two guys were constantly promoting that they had new products, and they were rare new products, which attracted a lot of customers.
In addition, Gou Qingyun has already received favors in advance, and many nobles and ladies have also received lard soap. After going back and using it, it will definitely be effective.
I got the news today, even if I don’t think it is useful, I still have to come and support it. This is to give face to the county magistrate, enhance the relationship between each other, and do it for my own benefit. Who wouldn’t come?
When the winter warms up, there are already many noble carriages crowded at the door.
Dong Nuan didn't squeeze in with the nobles, but walked through the back door, parked the carriage, let Shi Qing watch, and then took Shi Zhu in through the back door.
At this moment, the shop in front was packed with people, but Gou Qingyun had been here since the morning and had been watching from the backyard.
Although the shop belonged to her family, she didn't need a little girl to greet her. After all, she was a noble lady from an official family, so how could she go out to welcome guests?
But I'm just worried, so I'll have to come and take a look.
The county magistrate’s wife is also here. Although they all know that lard soap is a good thing, but...
Don't worry after all.
After the warmth of winter came, I was directly invited to the private room in the backyard by the maid. As soon as I entered the door, I took off the curtain and then saw the county magistrate's wife sitting there with Gou Qingyun, followed by the maid and the mother-in-law.
"Nuan Nuan!" When Gou Qingyun saw the person coming, she jumped up excitedly, rushed over in a few strides, and was hugged by Dong Nuan.
Dong Nuan first greeted the county magistrate's wife and then spoke to Gou Qingyun.
The county magistrate's wife is a quite amiable person, and her words and deeds are also easy-going.
She didn't care much about Gou Qingyun's friendship with a peasant girl.
Maybe it's because you feel that winter warmth is definitely not something that comes from a pond. If you make friends now, you don't know what they will bring in the future.
Of course, it is also possible that he simply does not interfere with his daughter's friends. As long as he has a good temperament, his status and class are not that important.
Because the county magistrate's wife was there, Gou Qingyun also controlled her voice a little: "The sales are good. As soon as I put it on display today, a lot of people were amazed. Those who came to support me even made the maids squeeze in.
Want to buy."
After finishing the sentence, the little girl's excitement was still not suppressed, and her voice was raised a few points unconsciously: "Yes, yes, Miss Cao Er will be here soon, but it is a bit far from Fucheng, so I guess she will wait for her
Here we are, it’s noon.”
"That's good." Dong Nuan also heard the excitement in front of him. There are still many wealthy gentlemen in the county, and the consumption levels of ladies and ladies are also very strong.
Ordinary people also gathered to watch, but lard soap is not cheap, so ordinary people probably just wanted to watch the excitement.
Ordinary people don't even use algae beans, and some people have never seen it in their lives. At most, they only use some plant ash and soap locust.
Each piece of lard soap costs one hundred pence, which is a price that most people cannot afford.
For the nobles, it may be a casual expense, but for ordinary people, it may be enough to support a family for a long time.
Lard soap is just the basics. For example, if you add goat's milk or cow's milk, the price will increase to varying degrees. If you add floral fragrance, it will be more expensive.
However, these prices are nothing more than a small amount of money to noble gentlemen.
You can buy a lot of them casually.
Dong Nuan listened to the excitement in front of her for a while, then turned her head and said softly to Gou Qingyun: "By the way, the rose water is out. When will you have time to go over and get it?"
As soon as she heard the rose water, Gou Qingyun's already excited mood suddenly went up. If Aniang hadn't been watching, she might have made a goose cry.
But after all, she was an official lady who had studied etiquette for many years. Her emotions lasted only a moment, and she quickly controlled them, and then she squeezed Dong Nuan's hand so hard that Dong Nuan felt pain.
