Chapter 152 Imitation
The visitor looked flustered. Shen Qiushui thought something big had happened, so he quickly put down the medicinal materials in his hand and followed the person to Zhu Zian's place.
"What happened? You are so anxious that you can't wait even a moment?" Shen Qiushui hurried over in a hurry, only to see Zhu Zian sitting on the stone bench, with no emotion on his face, and many homemade lipsticks in front of him.
"Look at this..." Zhu Zian saw Shen Qiushui, stood up, and handed over a lipstick, "What do you think?"
The lipstick container is made of a thumb-sized bamboo tube with the carvings designed in their shop. Pull the lid open and twist it gently, and the creamy lipstick will slowly emerge from the bamboo tube.
Because of Zhu Zian's words, Shen Qiushui looked at the lipstick in front of him carefully for a long time.
"I don't see anything wrong." Shen Qiushui took back the lipstick and put it back.
Zhu Zian said solemnly: "I didn't see anything wrong, that's the biggest problem!"
"Ah?" Shen Qiushui was confused.
"I bought this lipstick from the newly opened shop on West Street."
It was also near the end of the year when he checked the accounts and discovered that the business in the shop had not been good these days. The lipsticks that were originally very popular could no longer be sold.
If it weren't for the support of the whitening cream, I don't know how ugly the shop's account would be this month.
Therefore, he investigated around and found the shop on West Street.
They are in Dongxiang. Logically speaking, even if the other party cracks the secret of making lipstick, their business will not be so cold.
After shopping around at the rouge shop on West Street, he discovered that not only was the price a level lower than theirs, but even the fragrance of the lipstick was carefully prepared.
It’s not just copying them blindly, but taking their production methods and combining them with unique spices. Zhu Zian grew up in the Zhu family, which mainly sells rouge shops, and is most sensitive to this kind of stuff. He can feel it just by smelling it casually. This is the difference in scent.
After hearing what Zhu Zian said, Shen Qiushui frowned, picked up the lipstick that he had put down again, and smelled it carefully.
It's really different, the aroma is actually quite nice.
"What should we do now?" Zhu Zian was so anxious about this matter that he didn't like anything shiny anymore. He thought about it every day.
Today's lipstick was not even sold, so he could only find Shen Qiushui to discuss it.
Under the current situation, it is definitely not possible to lower the price. If they lower the price, those people who bought the lipstick in the past will definitely come to make trouble.
"How much do you know about this shop?" Shen Qiushui asked.
"It's very mysterious. It seems to have appeared suddenly. I asked someone to investigate, but I couldn't find the person behind it." Zhu Zian sighed and sat back.
He couldn't even find out, which only meant that the other party was more powerful than he thought.
Although he is now separated from the Zhu family, he has followed his uncle's path. His uncle's high school is now better than the Zhu family's.
"Let's wait until I go to the shop you mentioned tomorrow to have a look."
She is also blind now, she doesn't know what the other party has, and she doesn't dare to make any random ideas.
"Okay." Zhu Zian nodded.
The two of them didn't discuss anything during their meeting, they just waited for Shen Qiushui to explore the truth tomorrow.
Lipstick is not like whitening cream, which requires complex medicinal materials and specific methods to prepare. As long as you know the ingredients used in lipstick, it can be easily copied.
Shen Qiushui guessed that such a day would come, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. Moreover, the other party's tactics were so cunning that they directly priced the price at twice the price of their shop. This did not leave their shop a way to survive, and they wanted to steal the entire lipstick. The market.
Shen Qiushui had nothing to do at home, so he went back to the hospital to talk to the little girl.
The little girl from the Shen family is now able to take charge of her own business. In order not to be looked down upon by others, she keeps a straight face all day long. However, because of her good medical skills, many people are willing to warm her face and ignore her cold butt.
After Shen Congyi and his family moved to Zhoucheng, they rented the house next door to Shen Qiushui. Mrs. Zhao was embroidering bags for Zhu Zian, and their daughter was studying medicine with Shen Qiushui, and their monthly income increased a lot. Life is actually better than when I was in town.
Therefore, Zhao had no objection to Shen studying medicine.
Shen Qiushui's two children have reached the age of enlightenment early and have been studying with Shen Congyi for more than half a month.
Time flies in sleep, the sky is slightly bright, and morning comes.
Feather-like snowflakes began to fall in the second half of the night, and now the surrounding area was covered with white snow.
Shen Qiushui pushed the door open and found that it was snowing. The cold air penetrated into the room, making her shiver and quickly closed the door.
Afraid of the cold, she went back to the house and put on another coat, wrapping herself up like a ball.
After packing herself up, she first went next door to check on the two children.
There was a charcoal fire burning in the room, and a small window was opened. It was very warm. The two children were wrapped in thick quilts and were not cold.
Seeing that Mo Dong and Mo Yu were fine, Shen Qiushui felt relieved.
It was still early now, so she didn't wake them up. She walked out of the house, planning to order some noodles to eat.
The firewood was burning in the stove, making a crackling sound, and white smoke gradually rose from the pot.
Shen Qiushui's eyes fell on the thick snow, thinking of Mo Changtian, and he became worried.
Mo Changtian found a job as a escort agent. He said that he was responsible for escorting people to the capital, so it would take a lot of time to go back and forth.
Two months have passed and I don't know how he is doing.
It's now covered in heavy snow, making it difficult to walk on the official road.
Shen Qiushui looked at Bai Xue with worried eyes, completely unaware of the disaster behind him, and the water started to roll.
It was the crackling sound of the bamboo pole being burned that brought her back to her senses.
Below is a hurried movement.
This was not the first time she had cooked noodles, but she still didn't know what level was best for taking them out. No matter how she looked at them, they seemed to be about the same.
Sure enough, this time the noodles melted again.
The two children, wearing cotton-padded jackets, looked like two little dumplings, just in time for Shen Qiushui to fish for noodles.
After the three of them had a leisurely breakfast, Shen Qiushui sent Mo Dong Moyu to Dr. Shen Cong's house next door.
Come to the rouge shop on West Street.
After entering the store, Shen Qiushui discovered that there was something inside.
The shop opened up the shop next door, and the two shops were combined into one. It was very spacious. Although it was not as grand as Zhu Zian's rouge shop converted from a restaurant, it had a unique style.
"Madam, what do you want to buy?" A waiter from the store immediately came to greet her.
It's cold today and it's still early. There are actually several ladies looking around in this rouge shop, which shows that business is really good.
"I want to buy lipstick." Shen Qiushui withdrew her sizing gaze and focused on the waiter.
The waiter in the shop was a good judge of people. Seeing that Shen Qiushui was wearing thick clothes and her hair was tied with silver hairpins, he knew that she was not poor. At least she could afford lipstick.
He immediately led her to the area dedicated to selling lipstick.
Lipsticks of various styles are placed on the shelf.
