After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 202 Making Rouge

Entering the Tea Talk Building, Lin Tingyou saw the former Madam Liang and others. Whether it was a new store or an old store, the Tea Talk Building was crowded with people.

However, when everyone saw Lin Lin coming down, some people pulled Lin Lin aside and complained.

"Mrs. Lin, your Jade Muscle Powder now costs one hundred taels of silver. We don't mind spending an extra twenty taels, but it's been taking too long, so we think the original eighty taels is fine."

The price has been increased, and everyone feels awkward and uncomfortable, but there is no reason to complain to Chayulou.

After all, their Yujisan is not for sale, but for gift. They can give it to you whenever they want.

He doesn't want your money, he's like a man with a hammer in his hand, he can't flatten cotton.

"Madam, you're joking. This Jade Muscle Powder is expensive, and I don't make much money selling tea. I'm giving it to you as a gift because you're taking such good care of my business.

I didn't make a penny from Yujisan, but what the lady said does make sense.

Although there isn't much Yujisan available, I will do my best to ensure everyone can get it."

Scarcity makes things valuable. They want gifts but cannot buy them, so they can only come to the Tea House to drink tea.

In order to get the Yuji Powder, many people bought a large amount of tea and pastries from Chayulou, and gave away the leftovers. Sometimes, even the servants at home could have a bite or two.

"Okay, then Madam Lin, remember to adjust it. I'll also recommend your tea to my friends and family."

Lin Lin smiled at the lady opposite her: "Thank you very much, ma'am."

Lin Ting was carrying a bag on his back and came over to pull Lin Lin away.

"Sister, let's go!"

After going upstairs, Lin Ting took out the plan he had written and showed it to Lin Lin. All the steps and methods were written clearly on it.

"Lin Ting, are you planning to use a lottery to give out new products for trial?"

Lin Ting nodded. She and Lin Lin stood together, pointing at the plan she had written.

"Yes, I plan to open a lottery area in the Tea House. Every time you spend ten taels of silver, you can participate in the lottery, and the prizes will be divided into special prize, first prize, second prize, and third prize.

The special prize is Yujisan, and the first prize is our newly made rouge and lip balm. The first prize depends on what is available on that day, but it must be makeup and skin care products.

The second class can be used to store items that will be more affordable in the future, such as lip balm, hand cream, etc.

The third prize is a consolation prize, which can be a cup of tea or a piece of cake."

This is also the stage where Lin Ting is trying to run the business. She needs to see the customers' attitude towards the products so that she can make the next decision immediately.

"Every time you spend ten taels, you can enter the lottery once. This might give you the Jade Muscle Powder in advance. It's a good plan."

"That's right, but we don't do this at a loss, so we increase the chances of winning according to the odds."

Lin Ting discussed some details with Lin Lin so that she could prepare to hold the raffle in the two stores, while Lin Ting went home to focus on making products.

Lin Ting, who had bought a lot of things on his way home, took a look inside Furong Pavilion when he passed by.

Although the gate was still open, Yi Tianjiao was imprisoned in the county government office, and Furong Pavilion was now run by Yi Tianjiao's wife and Manager Wu.

No one goes to the store to buy anymore. There used to be four women selling things there, but now they are gone.

Although the store is still there, it is already bankrupt and unprofitable.

As Lin Ting watched, he actually saw Shopkeeper Wu supporting Feng coming out. The two of them were carrying several bags and looked very close. They didn't look like the wife of the boss and the shopkeeper at all, but more like lovers.

Lin Ting chuckled. Yi Tianjiao took all the responsibility on himself that day just to get Manager Wu to come out and continue to help him run Furong Pavilion.

Now it’s good that Manager Wu is indeed running Furong Pavilion and is also helping him take care of his wife.

It was truly tangible, and we lost both the wife and the army.

I don’t know how crazy Yi Tianjiao will go after he comes out and knows about this, but this is not something Lin Ting should consider.

She returned home and cut the dried beeswax into small pieces to store away.

Seeing Lin Ting busying around, Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu came over to help her.

"Lin Ting, do you think your father-in-law and I can do anything to help you?"

Lin Ting really needed help. She could do some delicate things herself, but for other work, she asked Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu to help her.

"How about this, aren't there a lot of thin bamboos on the road leading to the fields from our village? Father-in-law, go and help me cut some, and mother-in-law, help me dry the flowers."

Lin Ting bought a lot of wandering flowers, that is, roses, and red peonies.

Lin Ting packed up the tea oil she bought and the empty tubes of the lipstick she designed.

The inner tube, the outer tube, make a rotating buckle in the middle, add a low support, and it's basically done. If you want it to look good, you can carve some patterns yourself.

After two days, with the help of Yang Xiuxiu and Shen Dali, they finally completed the basic things they needed.

Her next step is to make lipstick and rouge, as well as an anti-mite soap with Chinese herbal ingredients.

The yard inside the Shen residence was filled with all kinds of shelves, molds, props, and even four or five stoves.

Although Shen Dali was not a talkative person, when he saw that the stoves made by Lin Ting needed charcoal, he went to the village to look for charcoal. He bought it from anyone who had leftover charcoal from the winter and gave it to Lin Ting to burn.

Yang Xiuxiu took care of all the housework and took care of Shen Wanyi so that Lin Ting would not have any worries.

Let Lin Ting focus on doing his own thing.

Everything was ready, and all that was left for Lin Ting was to make the food. He boiled tea oil in a porcelain pot, added beeswax he made himself, put in wandering flowers, dried them, and ground them into red pollen.

After stirring until it is almost done, pour the lipstick into the mold, which she also made herself. Twenty lipsticks can be made in one batch, and just need to wait for it to cool down.

In another stove, she was boiling vegetable oil for making soap. She had soaked honeysuckle in the oil for many days.

Filter out the honeysuckle, and the whole pot of oil will be filled with the fragrance of honeysuckle.

After the oil is boiled, add the water made from the wood ash and shell powder. The combination of the two will form alkaline water that can be saponified.

Lift the pot, let it cool and stir until it is saponified and becomes a paste. Finally, pour the crushed honeysuckle into it, stir evenly, and put it into a mold to cool.

The last step is to make rouge. Rouge is the same as lipstick, but this time Lin Ting chose pink peony and made two colors, one red and one pink, and poured them into small porcelain bottles.

Lin Ting had just finished making the stuff and poured it into the mold when he heard Yang Xiuxiu's voice from the other side of the yard gate.

"Lin Ting, Madam Wen from Qingzhou Academy is here to see you..."
