0217 Red Lips Rouge Powder
I thought of the fortune teller who had just left for a long journey.
Ni Tu could only carry the master out again: "This is what my master and the divination operator told me late one night when they were passing through the Yin Ruins, drinking wine and talking to each other in front of the stars and expressing their love. I thought it was interesting, so I remembered it.
Come down."
"When the two of them were divining the horoscope, they each deduced the great hero who would assist Wu Ding according to their own hexagrams, and the good woman who did not like red clothes and loved armed weapons. They also said, 'The male rabbit's feet are confused, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred; the two rabbits are close to each other.
How can you tell whether I'm male or female when I'm walking around?'"
"The male rabbit's feet are twitching, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurry. Two rabbits are walking next to each other. How can they tell whether I am male or female? What does this mean?" the old man asked hurriedly.
Ni Tu smiled slightly and said, "We will continue to tell the story about women's marriage in the next issue!"
Ni Tu could no longer face the old man's questioning, so he dug a hole decisively and quickly fled the scene.
When she returned to the backyard, Xue Sanniang almost hugged Ni Tu.
Ni Tu was still rational and firm, and his mind was still clear, so he hurriedly avoided her fiery figure.
If you make a mistake, you will be trapped in it and unable to extricate yourself.
Ni Tu didn't want to fall down like this.
Zhen Zhen'er hugged her arms and held a piece of grass in her mouth, watching how Ni Tu, who was about to fall into embarrassment, would be embarrassed.
"Do you know? Today, without spending any oil or water or consuming any vegetables, I have earned thirty taels of silver! Thirty taels!"
The rare happy smile is enough to highlight Xue Sanniang's intellectual beauty.
Ni Tu smiled slightly, pretended to be calm and stood up to pick up the boiling copper kettle and refill the teapot.
Xue Sanniang also went to pick up the copper kettle very diligently.
The two hands held each other almost at the same time.
Zhen Zhen'er, who was standing at the door and leaning on the door frame, straightened up quickly. He wanted to see Ni Tu's embarrassment.
What he didn't expect was that Xue Sanniang's hand hurriedly retracted as if she'd been electrocuted, and she was at a loss as to where to put it. Her face was rosy and hot, her eyes were blurred, and her eyes were wandering.
Ni Tu, however, remained calm and calm, continued to lift the copper kettle, slowly opened the teapot, and poured the hot water in.
Zhen Zhen'er stretched her neck to see if Ni Tu was serious and calm on the surface, but in fact he was already very arrogant inside.
But to his disappointment again, Ni Tu poured just enough hot water into the teapot, no more and no less, and then put the hot and still sizzling copper kettle back on the clay stove.
He turned around and sat down, picked up the teapot and put some tea in his own cup. Then he placed three more teacups and poured tea one by one.
Then, Ni Tu raised his eyes, looked at Xue Sanniang, who was still standing in front of him, and said, "Sit down!"
Xue Sanniang was already in a disordered mood and had no idea. No matter what Ni Tu said, he sat down.
Ni Tu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He glanced at Xue Sanniang. She subconsciously touched the teacup and put it to her lips.
"Be careful!"
As soon as Ni Tu reminded her, Xue Sanniang shouted "Ah!" "It's hot! It's burning me to death!"
At this time, Zhen Zhen'er, who was standing aside and gloating about the misfortune, said with a smile: "Brother Tu, why don't you give Sanniang a blow!"
Blow her lips?
This guy is so bad!
"Fuck you! You kid is holding back a lot of bad things. Do you think I don't know that?"
Zhen Zhener smiled bitterly because Ni Tu saw through her trick.
Ni Tu picked up a cup of cool boiled water, added some warm tea, and handed it to Xue Sanniang: "Hurry up and rinse your mouth."
Xue Sanniang took it and drank it down in one gulp, smacking her lips, and then she felt she got used to it.
"Sit down, why are you standing still?"
Zhen Zhener crossed her legs, sat down, and asked, "Huh? There are three of us, but you prepared four cups of tea? What do you mean?"
Ni Tu pinched a piece of frozen persimmon and handed it to Xue Sanniang: "Put it in your mouth and it will be fine in a while."
Xue Sanniang looked at Ni Tu with a smile, her eyes filled with the happiness of being pampered. She stretched out her slender hand, took the persimmon and put it gently on her lips, just like a flower with beautiful lips.
Oral fat.
Of course, most of the items girls used to beautify their lips at this time were made of cinnabar. Using this mineral to make lip makeup would not only not be bright in color, but also not very long-lasting.
Ni Tu once conducted research in a rouge shop and found that a girl would eat about ten kilograms of cinnabar a year for beautiful lips. Until girls from wealthy families had eaten enough cinnabar, discerning shop owners began to develop new ones.
Lipstick, they add animal fat to the original lipstick to increase the durability and moisturization of the lipstick.
In fact, in later generations, even lipsticks produced on industrial assembly lines will be inseparable from animal fat.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, some girls who were good at making formulas came up with a new method. They combined cinnabar, rouge and spices, boiled them in wine, and then added some butter. The lipstick made in this way had a certain
The taste is also equivalent to the lipsticks of later generations, which have various fragrances and can also play the role of perfume. It can be said that it has two uses.
Ni Tu also discovered that many men in this world also wore red flowers on their heads, and even often wore lipstick. Ni Tu did some research and thought it was because Chang'an was in a dry area and lacked such rare things as transparent lipstick, so he had to do it in order to moisturize.
.
Strangely, Li Shimin would also reward ministers with fine lipsticks.
From then on, lipstick became a symbol of status for men and was highly sought after by scholars.
The lipstick at this time is of course not in the form of a stick, but is actually powdery rouge. When using it, you need to dissolve it with water and then apply it on your lips with a small brush.
This kind of lip makeup was too inconvenient, so Ni Tu decided to make a stick-shaped lipstick, which was not only easy to carry, but also easy to operate.
In addition, lipsticks of various colors can also be made and sold together with rouge.
However, the key raw materials are still lacking.
The rouge in this world is actually a kind of red and blue flower, which contains a kind of pigment, which can be picked and crushed into red pigment. By adding different materials, you can make lipstick and rouge respectively.
And these most critical materials can only be imported from Tianzhu.
Ni Tu was too lost in thought, and Xue Sanniang bowed her head in embarrassment.
Zhen Zhener clapped her hands happily.
However, before he could take a few pats, he received several big slaps on the head.
"What are you thinking about? How is the Shaqima workshop that I arranged for you to make?"
Zhen Zhen'er rubbed her head in grievance and began to report on the progress of Shaqima's workshop.
After hearing this, Ni Tu said: "We must hurry up about Shaqima's affairs. I won't be going to Tianzhu for a long time. I'm afraid it will only be a matter of one or two days. You must prepare as much as possible. The more the better."
Zhen Zhener nodded solemnly.
Worried that Xue Sanniang was overthinking her distraction just now, Ni Tu smiled and said to her: "When I come back, I will bring you the best floral lipstick in the world, which is colorful and has various fragrances."
"Really?" Xue Sanniang's eyes widened happily, "It's a deal, I'm looking forward to your return!"
The word was suddenly full of infinite family affection, which made Ni Tu think deeply.
