Lipstick is ancient lipstick, usually made from flowers. It can be used as both lipstick and rouge. It was the best choice for ancient beauty-loving women.
It's just that in mountain villages, village women basically don't know how to use lip balm. It's not that they don't care about beauty, but the price of lip balm is too high and they can't afford it!
Lin Xiao was puzzled. How could a rough guy like Lin Xiaowu ask about such a high-end lipstick?
Lin Xiaowu scratched his head and said with a smile:
"I know that you, a scholar, know everything and know everything!"
"You don't want to buy lip balm for your sister-in-law, do you?"
Lin Xiao saw his honest look and immediately guessed his purpose.
"Hey, my mother-in-law went back to her parents' house a few days ago. When she came back, her mouth and face were all painted with lipstick from her cousin in the city. She looked very good, so..."
Speaking of this, Lin Xiaowu's face turned a little red.
"So you just wanted to ask me if I could help get some?"
Lin Xiaowu nodded vigorously and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"This is easy to handle. You go and make me a small box out of bamboo, and I will make lip balm."
After Lin Xiaowu left, Lan Lian found a piece of cloth and covered the barrel tightly.
"Master, you are so amazing, you can even do lipstick!"
Lan Lian, who had long since lost her temper, looked at Lin Xiao with eyes full of admiration, and almost took out her heart to show her.
"Bring a basket and let's go pick flowers!"
"Master, are you picking flowers to make lipstick?"
"Well, pick more and I'll make a jar for you too!"
Lan Lian jumped up and down with joy, picked up a basket of flowers and ran out, not forgetting to tell Lin Xiao to follow her quickly.
We must know that lipstick is as attractive to the women of Daxia as luxury goods are to modern women.
Under the leadership of Lan Lian, a large wild flower garden appeared in front of Lin Xiao.
The wild flower garden is not an endless wilderness, but has edges.
This area is filled with all kinds of flowers, which look extremely beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds.
Lin Xiao saw dozens of species at a glance. Some wildflowers looked bright and colorful, while others were a little withered and yellow, and there were some weeds mixed in among them.
"Pick more flowers with bright colors and fragrance, so that the color of the lipstick will be beautiful."
Not only lip balm, if there are enough materials, she also wants to make a batch of soap.
"Um!"
Lan Lian nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, her eyes full of expectation.
She can't wait for the lip balm.
After a while, the two of them picked two large baskets full of wild flowers.
Looking at the wild flowers in her hands, Lan Lian's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"The fragrance of this flower is so strong, it smells so comfortable."
Lin Xiao reached out and caressed these wild flowers, and said slightly worriedly:
"Yes, it smells very pleasant, but I don't know if it can be successfully made into lip balm."
Generally, rose flowers, rose flowers or rose flowers are used to make lip balm, or even worse, roselle flowers are used.
These wild flowers seem to have bright colors, but I don’t know if the colors can be fixed. I need some alum.
"Lan Lian, when you go back later, you can go to the Barefoot Doctor and buy some alum."
"alum?"
"It's alum."
"good!"
After returning home, Lin Xiao took the honeycomb out of the honey bucket, squeezed out as much honey as possible, and then put it into a pot with water and boiled it.
After a while, black and white bee pupae all floated up.
After skimming off these things and boiling for a while, until all the honeycombs were boiled, Lin Xiao found a piece of coarse cloth and filtered the liquid into a soup basin.
When Lan Lian came back with alum, Lin Xiaowu just delivered the finished bamboo box.
"Xiao Linzi, can you take a look at this box?"
The bamboo box is made by taking advantage of the natural advantages of the bamboo tube. It is integrated into the whole body. It is not very exquisite, but it has a certain elegance.
"That's great! Brother Xiao Wu, come and get it during dinner."
"So fast?"
"Making lip balm is not as difficult as you think, as long as you have all the ingredients, it will be done quickly."
Lin Xiaowu's admiration for Lin Xiao could no longer be described in words. He patted Lin Xiao heavily on the shoulder and then returned home.
At this time, the yellow beeswax has solidified and is floating happily on the water.
"Lan Lian, I pounded the flowers I picked today with alum, the more crushed the better."
Lan Lian is indeed a good worker. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the flowers added with alum had been mashed into mud.
Lin Xiao filtered the flower juice into a small bowl, added a little beeswax, and used the residual heat from the stove to completely melt it.
"Lan Lian, bring all the bamboo boxes sent by Brother Xiao Wu."
Lin Xiao poured the liquid in the small bowl into the bamboo box in batches and waited for it to solidify.
Half an hour later, the two people were covered with brightly colored lipstick.
"Master, are these lipsticks? They're so beautiful!"
Lan Lian couldn't help but praise, her eyes full of obsession.
"Lan Lian, go give it a try."
Lan Lian shyly picked up a box of lip balm and returned to the room.
After a while, Lan Lian, who had applied lipstick, walked out of the room.
At this time, Lin Xiao's eyes were deeply attracted by Lan Lian in front of him.
Is this still the Lan Lian I know?
The original Lanlian had dark skin, skinny bones, and didn't even have a pair of shoes.
But now Lan Lian's skin is fair and smooth, and paired with bright red but not gaudy lipstick, her whole person's spirit and energy have gone up by more than one level.
"Master, do you look good?"
Lan Lian shyly stood in front of Lin Xiao and asked.
"Well, it's beautiful!"
The man named Luo Ping next to Bai Zhancheng seems not to be married yet, but he and Lan Lian are quite a match!
If there is a chance, she will have to act as a matchmaker again and help these two people get married.
"Master, thank you!"
Lan Lian sincerely thanked Lin Xiao for making her the happiest woman in the world.
During dinner, Lin Xiaowu came.
When he saw Lan Lian with lipstick on, his eyes lit up and he became very excited.
He couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, Lin Xiao really made lipstick!
And this color is even more stunning than the lipstick his mother-in-law applied to her cousin from the city!
"Xiao Linzi, your craftsmanship is really good!"
Lin Xiao was extremely satisfied when he saw that the bamboo boxes he brought were all filled with lip balm.
"Brother Xiao Wu, do you want to make a fortune?"
"Ai?"
Lin Xiaowu's sudden words stunned Lin Xiaowu for a moment. He didn't understand why Lin Xiao would suddenly ask him this question.
He is now making salt jars for Lin Xiao. Not to mention how wealthy his life is, at least he has three meals a day and meat every now and then. He is already very satisfied.
"Just asking if you want it?"
"Yes, of course I do! But it's not that easy to get rich."
Lin Xiaowu scratched his head and said with a smile, but there was a bitterness in his heart.
