Chapter 345: Seeing Money Opens Your Eyes
At that time, there were not many types of cosmetics used by women, and most of them were extracted from medicinal herbs, and the effects were not very good.
Because there are only a few types, it is still favored by many beauty-loving ladies.
There are medicinal ingredients, such as Yurong Powder for whitening, corn flour with floral scent, Qibai Paste for removing dark spots, bath beans for cleansing, facial cream for moisturizing, commonly used rouge, and blackhead for drawing eyebrows.
Li Xiaoxiao had already inquired about the source of these things, and also had some understanding of the selling prices of these common items.
These cosmetics are also divided into different grades, just like modern ones. The more expensive the item, the greater the profit. All the products in Li Xiaoxiao's shop are of the highest standards.
If you are going to do it, do it on a big scale. Li Xiaoxiao spent a lot of money on the decoration of this store. He drew the blueprint himself and watched the workers do the construction.
Its decoration style is based on the original foundation at that time, with some modern elements added. The effect is indeed very high-end, and it is the only one in Beijing so far.
When she first started decorating, she had someone make a plaque to hang on the door, and gave it a very cool name, "Beauty Like Clouds".
Li Xiaoxiao can be said to be quite satisfied with this name. Doesn't it mean that there are many beauties here, and women go to rouge shops just to become beautiful, right?
The name alone is very attractive. Although it is somewhat different from the names of other shops, doesn’t it just show that her shop is different from others?
Li Xiaoxiao personally trained not only the store name and interior decoration, but also the girls who sell things. As long as customers come to the store, they must come happily and leave satisfied.
After packing up everything and choosing an auspicious day, Li Xiaoxiao's rouge shop was finally opened.
While she was busy, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something. It seemed that she had been busy opening shops since she came through. Others who came through through time all had the aura of the protagonist and all kinds of skills.
They are either princesses or young ladies, but she is not like that. She opened one shop after another, made a lot of money and worked hard, but in the end she still had no money.
She most likely came through time just to open a shop. She was born to be a hard worker. Thinking of this, she laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Suddenly a deep male voice came from behind her.
Li Xiaoxiao knew who was behind him without even looking, and continued to arrange the products on the counter in order: "Cousin, why are you so free today?"
"Well, I came to take a look when I had nothing to do." Si Chengxu said calmly, but his palms were sweating slightly.
The last time they went boating on the lake, he wanted to give Li Xiaoxiao another set of jewelry, but he never found the opportunity. A few days ago, the housekeeper sent him a jade hairpin.
The entire jade hairpin is transparent and emerald green, with what appears to be a coiled dragon in the middle, which looks lifelike and adds a lot of aura to the hairpin, making people fall in love with it at first sight.
Originally he wanted to ask Si Er to bring it over, but Si Er kept saying that he had a stomachache. He went to the toilet several times in the morning and finally lay on the bed and couldn't get out.
"Master, I had a stomach upset yesterday, and now I feel weak all over. Why don't you let the servant support me and I will take it to the little girl." Si Er was lying on the bed with a sallow face, and his words were weak.
"Just lie down and rest. I'll ask Si Yi to take you there." Si Chengxu's face was gloomy and his tone was unpleasant. He had already instructed Si Yi about this matter for two or three days.
On the first day, I went out to drink and got drunk, and I didn't deliver the goods.
The next day, I couldn't find it. The reason was that I drank too much the day before and my memory was confused. By the time I found it, it was dark.
On the third day, which is today, he woke up early in the morning complaining of stomachache, and the toilet almost became his exclusive use.
"Master, you, you, wait a moment." Si Er sat up from the bed with difficulty.
"Speak." Si Chengxu was obviously a little impatient.
"Master, look at this hairpin. It's something for women. Si Yi is a shy man. If you give him something like this, he will probably just throw it away and run away. If the little girl misunderstands that it was given by Si Yi, wouldn't that be troublesome?"
"Also, Si Yi is dull and wooden. He will definitely not be able to interpret your meaning well, so his work efficiency is too low. He is not good enough." Si Er said clearly.
"You are very efficient. You haven't delivered a single hairpin in three days." Si Chengxu looked at him coldly with an expressionless face.
"Haha, well, this is just a small accident. Why don't you wait until I get better and then I'll send it over." Si Er laughed dryly twice.
Si Chengxu remained silent. In fact, what Si Er said was right. Si Yi was indeed not suitable for this job. So who should he send? He frowned slightly, and for a moment he really couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
Si Er struck while the iron was hot: "Master, in my opinion, you should forget about it. Today is the opening day of Xiao Xiao Girl's Rouge Shop. If you deliver it in person, wouldn't it show your sincerity? This thing is not suitable for others to deliver on your behalf."
Si Chengxu suddenly fell into deep thought, looking down at the emerald green hairpin in his hand. He had never given anything to a woman before, and he was so rash as to give it to her. What if Li Xiaoxiao didn't like it?
"Don't worry, the little girl is greedy for money and will definitely accept it." Si Er could guess most of what he was thinking from his expression and reminded him at the right time.
But what he got in return was a cold glance from Si Chengxu, who even said in front of him that Li Xiaoxiao was greedy for money, even though what he said was the truth.
Si Yi realized something was wrong, and pretended to slap his mouth, with a flattering look on his face.
"Look at me, I can only talk nonsense. The main thing is that the gift you gave is good, how could the little girl not want it? Not only will she want it, but she may also be looking forward to you giving her something again next time." Si Er looked serious.
Si Chengxu felt that it seemed to be right, so he stood still for a moment, ignored Si Er, and walked away.
Watching his departing back, Si Er lay back on the bed in a good mood, with a smile of success on his lips. "I can only help you up to this point, the rest is up to you."
That's why the scene of Si Chengxu appearing, sweating slightly while holding the hairpin in his hand.
"Cousin, do you know that my shop is opening today?" Li Xiaoxiao continued with what he was doing and spoke casually, but if you listened carefully you could hear that there was something behind his words.
"I know." Si Chengxu was speechless. Fortunately, he brought something today. What Si Er said was very right. Not only was she greedy for money, she also kept thinking about the money she couldn't see.
