Chapter 111 Chapter 110 Liquid Foundation Business (Third Update)
When Wen Xiaotu and Xin Ruozhi were chatting happily, they took out two boxes of powder and presented them to each other. "This powder is a bit thick. I will take a piece the size of a soybean and apply it on my face every day, and then add a layer of pearl peach blossoms."
Powder, this will make your makeup last longer and your skin tone will be more even and brighter.”
He also gave me a foundation brush, "This powder is difficult to apply evenly by hand. Use this brush to apply it evenly."
Xin Ruozhi picked up the weird "powder brush" with great interest, "What are you thinking about in your mind all day long? It's both ink and powder. Why do you have so many weird ideas?"
Wen Xiaotu smiled horribly. This was not her idea at all. They were just replicas of things that existed in modern times.
"It's just Xiaoqiao." Wen Xiaotu quickly changed the subject, "By the way, how is the ink business?" - Will there be any dividends this year?
Xin Ruozhi fiddled with the soft foundation brush and said casually: "It's pretty good." As she said that, she took the flat brush and swiped it twice on her face, "Is this how you apply foundation?"
"Uh...yeah." Wen Xiaotu muttered in his heart. He was talking about ink. Why did he change the subject?
Xin Ruozhi opened the small round red peony box containing the paste with great interest, and dipped her fingertips into a small amount of the paste, "like a lump of mud."
Mud, your sister, this powder is not wheat-colored, it is porcelain-white!
Xin Ruozhi smeared it on the back of her hand like a child playing with mud, "Well, it feels pretty good! This is much better than those makeup powders."
After hearing this, Wen Xiaotu suddenly thought, "By the way, if this powder is sold in a rouge and gouache shop, it must be a good business!" - Wen Xiaotu's little calculation started to crackle in his mind.
Sound.
Although the ink business is doing well, it is ultimately only a bottom-level market with slim profits, and it is easy to be cracked and copied. You may not be able to make much money, but if it is not managed well, there is a risk of bankruptcy.
Cosmetics have always been a lucrative business!
Moreover, this prescription is produced by Imperial Hospital. Even if other companies can imitate it, they cannot ask Imperial doctors to develop and improve it! If it is managed properly, it can occupy the top market of cosmetics! This will be even more profitable!
Thinking of the small money, Wen Xiaotu felt as if he had been given a shot of blood.
Xin Zhaorong, who was playing with powder, had a strange look on her face. Why does Wen Jieyu seem to be a little obsessed with money?
"This is something from the palace, how can it be leaked out casually? You can really have random thoughts." Xin Ruozhi said angrily.
Wen Xiaotu touched his chin, "Actually, it's just a recipe. According to the recipe, any rouge and gouache workshop can make it. However, after all, the recipe was thought up by the imperial doctor. I'll look back.
Just ask the emperor for permission." - It's a simple matter, and the original original product was still made by her, and the imperial doctor only made a copy, so the emperor should agree.
Xin Ruozhi looked surprised. Wen Jieyu was so confident, which showed that she had really won the Sacred Heart...
"If we can get the emperor's permission, then that's not a problem." Xin Ruozhi thought thoughtfully. This is indeed a good business. The palace's powder formula will surely win the favor of the noble ladies in the capital.
Wen Xiaotu said with a smile: "Then we've made a deal! Oh, by the way, we have to give Imperial Physician Fu a small share of dividends." - After all, this is the person who deserves the most credit, and besides, he will still be needed in the future.
Dr. Fu continues to improve the powder ointment formula.
"That's easy to say!" Xin Ruozhi said boldly.
The two were chatting animatedly about the powder business, when Liang Waguan suddenly raised his voice from outside the curtain and reported: "Master, the emperor is here!"
Xin Ruozhi was slightly surprised. Didn't the emperor come to Changyi Palace just the day before yesterday? Why did he come again today?
The most important thing is that the emperor didn't call for summons in advance, but just showed up unexpectedly! It's really scary!
The curtain was opened, the emperor Mingzhao looked dark, and glared unkindly at Mrs. Xin who hurriedly stood up to salute and greet her. This is my harem, do I have to report it to you in advance?!
"Ms. Xin, why are you here?!" Ming Zhao looked stern and looked like he was chasing away guests.
At this moment, Xin Ruozhi no longer had the bold and majestic look before, and shrank like a little girl, "I just thought that Wen Jieyu was about to give birth to a baby, so I came over to have a look." Unexpectedly, Wen Jieyu was so quick-thinking that she actually
If you want to do business with me in powder paste, I don’t know if the emperor will agree to it.
Ming Zhao frowned: Cream business? This Wen Rutu has fallen into the eyes of money again!
With a smile on her face, Wen Xiaotu eagerly presented a Biluochun to His Majesty the Emperor, "I casually chatted about this powder paste with Empress Zhaorong. Empress Zhaorong also thought it was very good, so she thought, why not just open one?"
The rouge and gouache shop can also let the women in the capital see the good things in the palace."
Ming Zhao's face became increasingly unkind. Didn't he just start the ink business not long ago? Now he is thinking about selling the palace's powder? Can't Mr. Wen think about something serious in his mind? He will give it all day long.
I'm embarrassed!
But thinking that the outsiders were still in front of him, Ming Zhao restrained himself from scolding him. He waved his hand and said, "Ms. Xin, there's nothing to do here, please leave!"
Xin Ruozhi looked at the emperor's increasingly ugly face, and couldn't help but feel worried. The emperor's temperament has always been unkind, and he might not allow this business... Alas, Wen Jieyu took it for granted.
Hearing these thoughts, Ming Zhao's face darkened, I'm so unkind?! Damn Mrs. Xin, you must have secretly said bad things about me in front of Mrs. Wen!
"Concubine, please retire." Xin Ruozhi hurriedly signaled Wen Jieyu with her eyes not to continue talking. The emperor has a harsh temper. If you anger the emperor, even if you are favored, there will be no good consequences.
Xin Ruozhi retreated quickly as if fleeing for her life. Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but touch the back of his head. Is the emperor so scary?
"Your Majesty, please don't always scare Xin Zhaorong. Although she has a cheerful temperament and seems to be fearless, in fact she is quite timid." Wen Xiaotu felt a little sorry for Xin Zhaorong.
Emperor Mingzhao looked like he was constipated for a moment. Is Ms. Xin timid? You don’t know how bold and unbridled her voice is! She secretly scolds me at every turn!
"Your Majesty, you are concerned about the powder..." Wen Xiaotu showed a flattering smile.
Mingzhao said with a dark face: "Are you very short of money?" - thinking about doing business all day long!! Is this what a concubine should do?
Wen Xiaotu said seriously: "I'm short of money! I'm really short of money!"
Ming Zhao looked at Mrs. Wen's confident way of talking about her lack of money, and felt a little helpless in her heart. This is Mrs. Wen. She didn't care about the things that others found embarrassing!
"I didn't short-change your salary, so why are you short of money?" Ming Zhao frowned. Could it be that someone was blackmailing the Wen family behind her back?
Wen Xiaotu sighed: "Your Majesty, the concubine's salary is indeed quite large. However, now the concubine is almost treated at the master level, and there is a small kitchen. During the four seasons of the year, I must give rewards to the people below.
Right? On weekdays, if you want to eat something other than the portion limit, you have to pay for it out of your own pocket, right?"
Ming Zhao's brows relaxed slightly, "You can tell me what you want!" - There is no need to do business with the Xin family! The price has dropped!
Wen Xiaotu sneered: "They are all trivial and small expenses that are not very important. In fact, if you are more frugal, your salary is definitely enough. It's my concubine who is not frugal. How can I be so embarrassed for this?
Are you talking to the emperor about these trivial matters?"
No one who has money is as happy as having money himself!
Ming Zhao felt a little unhappy. After all, Wen's treatment of me was too unreasonable...
"Don't you already have an ink business?" Ming Zhao asked.
Wen Xiaotu smiled bitterly: "This ink business is a low-profit business. There are no dividends yet, and I'm afraid there won't be much profit in the future. But this rouge gouache is different. The profits here are huge!" Wen Xiaotu said here
Eyes bright.
Ming Zhao:……
This Wen is simply a money addict who only cares about money!!
