Transmigration: The Peasant Makeup Artist - Chapter 81
The good business in the shop lasted until the 27th of the New Year. After Li Mo closed the door on the night of the 27th New Year, he announced to everyone that the shop was officially closed.
Everyone is happy. After so many days, I can finally have a good rest and welcome the new year.
In the twenty-eighth year of the year, Meizi and Tiezi rushed over from the village with a small tree. The family officially gathered. Then, like all ordinary people, everyone began to prepare for the New Year.
Song Dashan took Tiezi to the market and bought chicken, duck and fish for the New Year, as well as couplet firecrackers and so on.
Sister-in-law Qin took Aunt Wu and Dani to clean the inside and outside of the house, and then removed all the sheets and quilts in each room and washed them.
Li Mo and Meizi went into the kitchen to prepare food for the New Year.
The family has been busy for two days, and by the evening of the 29th New Year, all preparations have been completed.
On the morning of the 31st of the new year, before Li Mo woke up, other people were already busy preparing for today’s New Year’s Eve dinner. As a pregnant woman at the national treasure level, she was naturally rejected by everyone to help. He was kind, and then had to go to the three little guys at home to play.
The three little guys were also infected with the New Year’s atmosphere and were extremely happy. They woke up and played together happily.
Little Bao saw Li Mo walking towards them, and quickly got off the wooden horse, ran to Li Mo, hugged Li Mo’s leg, and asked her belly: “Sister, are you awake? “
Since knowing that Li Mo had a baby in his belly, Xiao Bao has always been interested in Li Mo’s belly. He always wanted to touch it and take a look. However, the clothes he wore in winter were thick and he couldn’t see anything. Still very motivated, the first thing I wake up every morning is to find Li Mo and the little sister in Li Mo’s stomach.
Li Mo used to wake up very early, and Xiao Bao found a right one, but since Li Mo became pregnant, he was always sleepy, and he could sleep more than two hours longer than before. So now, when Xiao Bao comes to her, he will always be caught by Song. Dashan stopped, and then told him, “My sister is still sleeping in my mother’s belly. You have to wait until my sister wakes up to greet you. You have to wait patiently for my sister to wake up.”
Listening to Song Dashan’s words, Little Treasure nodded quickly and went to play obediently. When Li Mo woke up, he would run over to speak to the sister in his stomach.
Regarding Xiaobao’s belief that the girl in her belly was her younger sister, Li Mo said to Xiaobao at first, “It’s possible that the girl in my mother’s belly is a little brother. How do you know it is a younger sister?”
Little Bao blinked and said to Li Mo, “But I want a younger sister, and Xiaoshu is a younger brother. So mother, give me a younger sister.”
In Xiaobao’s world, all she knew were boys, and she was surrounded by younger brothers or elder brothers, so she especially wanted a little sister.
Seeing that Xiaobao wanted her sister so much, Li Mo stopped talking. After Xiaobao called the child in her belly his sister, maybe she called her sister, she really came out with a sister, anyway, she also liked her daughter. The son already has a little treasure, and it is just right to have another daughter, both children.
Li Mo went to the chair placed in the yard and sat down so that Xiaobao could talk to her belly.
Little Bao earnestly chatted with the little life in Li Mo’s belly, and she answered Little Bao’s questions for the one in her belly from time to time. The mother and the son can play for a long time without getting bored.
Soon it’s time for the New Year’s Eve dinner. This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner is very well prepared, with everything from chicken, duck and fish, and everyone’s favorite dishes. The family sat around the table and sat full.
After Song Dashan went out to set off the firecrackers, the family officially started.
Li Mo couldn’t drink, so he replaced the wine with tea. First he stood up and offered everyone a cup. “Everyone has worked hard, especially the previous day. Everyone was so busy. Thank you for your hard work for our shop. I will replace it with tea. Wine, to everyone, wish us peace and happiness in the new year, and everything we want will come true.”
Everyone stood up one after another, raised their glasses to a toast.
Li Mo took out three red envelopes from his pocket, and first gave them to the three little guys, “Come on, this is the lucky money for you, I wish you smarter and healthier in the new year.”
The three little guys’ eyes lit up, and after receiving the red envelope, they bowed decently to Li Mo to express gratitude.
After giving the new year’s money to the little guys, Li Mo took out five more red envelopes and gave them to Meizi Tiezi, Sister Qin, Aunt Wu and Dani.
Several adults didn’t expect that they would also have red envelopes. They were a little confused and didn’t know whether to accept them.
Li Mo stuffed the red envelopes into their hands and said: “Don’t refuse, this is not the new year’s money, this is the year-end reward for our shop. You have worked hard for the shop’s business. This is my heart for you. Let’s go down, from now on, every year.”
Seeing Li Mo said this, Meizi accepted it first, “The sister-in-law, the girl will accept it. Don’t worry, I will plant you flowers so that you can make more money.”
Seeing that the plums had been accepted, other people also accepted them, and promised Li Mo that they would do well in the future, especially Aunt Wu and Dani. They never expected that the people who bought them would be so good to people like them. The life at home is much better than before. The life now is so good that they can’t even think about it before. How could they not do well? They cherish such a life too much.
Li Mo waved his hand to let everyone sit down, “Everyone, sit down and eat, and have a good meal today. For the New Year, I just want to gain weight.”
Everyone laughed, no longer said, raising their chopsticks to eat.
The sound of firecrackers outside one after another, amidst the excitement, the family in the shop is happy.
Song Dashan and Meizi have completely cut off contact with the rest of the Song family. Tiezi also has no father and no mother. Qin’s sister-in-law has nothing to do with the tiger, especially Wu Auntie and Dani. So the whole family has no relatives to leave, this year, the whole process is spent in the shop.
Therefore, Li Mo taught everyone to play poker, planning to take advantage of the New Year to play well.
The playing cards are very simple. After Li Mo taught a few times, everyone will be good. So Li Mo and Song Dashan’s family, Meizi and Tiezi’s family, Wu Auntie and Dani’s family, and Qin’s sister-in-law’s family, just formed a table and played. The landlord.
Doudizhu, who doesn’t play money, always feels that he loses his taste, so Li Mo suggested to play money, play a little bit smaller, and make it lively.
Everyone had some money in their hands, and they all agreed with Li Mo’s proposal.
As a result, the family spent a lively day at the poker table. As a veteran, Li Mo won a small win, and the other three lost. However, despite losing money, everyone’s interest was not diminished and they made suggestions. Fight again tomorrow.
After playing cards for three days in a row, Li Mo didn’t want to play anymore. He felt that playing something was too boring. However, except for Li Mo, everyone else was still interested and never tired of playing. After all, in ancient times, entertainment projects were too boring. Few, people’s way of playing in their spare time is too poor, so they think that playing cards are very fun, just like those women who like to stay in the lounge and play cards.
Li Mo suddenly felt that she should enrich the entertainment projects in the home and the leisure room, not only to let the family have more fun, but also to let the guests who come to her store have more fun and like to play in the leisure room.
So Li Mo began to think about what modern entertainment activities could be placed here.
The first thing that comes to mind is to play chess. Chess is a very common form of entertainment for people in this era, but people here are all playing Go and chess. This kind of play is very mind-blowing and tests intelligence. Like ordinary people, there are very few. Some people can play chess and Go, especially women, even less.
Therefore, she can teach you some simple board games, like gomoku and checkers, which even children can learn and are also very fun. At the same time, these can also be placed in the leisure room for everyone to play and entertainment to pass the time.
There is a chess set at home that Li Mo bought and prepared for Xiaobao to learn how to play chess, but now it can be used to teach everyone to play backgammon.
Gobang is very simple. It only took Li Mo a quarter of an hour to teach everyone. Even the three children learned it. Little Treasure fell in love with playing this game. Even Dani was not his opponent when playing.
The children watching the family were also immersed in the game. Li Mo was also happy to see them having fun, so he taught the children a simple poker game: picking up a bamboo pole.
One person takes half of the playing cards, and then one person arranges them on the table one by one. When they encounter the same card, they can get back to their home as their own cards. This game is very simple, and the raw materials are just playing cards, but without losing fun, it is easy for children to like it.
Sure enough, the three children in the family like to play very much, and even the older child, Dani, followed behind and had a great time.
In this way, the family played cards, chess, chess, and bamboo poles. Men and women, old and young, went into battle happily and happily carried out family entertainment activities. Every day was spent in laughter and laughter.
Leisure days always flew fast. The family spent the whole Spring Festival in bed, eating and playing. Not only did they have fun, but everyone had some flesh on their faces. It was the most comfortable year.
On the eleventh of the first lunar month, Li Mo put away his playfulness and began to prepare before opening the shop.
Last year, the balm was almost sold, and I had to make a new one, and Yueniang had to send hundreds of boxes to it. It is now the season when plum blossoms and spring azaleas are in full bloom. Li Mo plans to add another plum blossom and spring azalea balm to sell.
There are a lot of Meihuashu villages, and they can be seen everywhere. Spring cuckoos are also found in the back mountains. So Li Mo arranged for Meizi and Tiezi to say, “Meizi, I’m going to trouble you and Tiezi. If you go back to the village and help us to talk about it, let’s say that we store them. The prices of plum blossoms and spring cuckoos are the same as those of sweet-scented osmanthus before. We will go back to the village in two days to collect them, and then make new-flavored balm.”
Meizi replied, “Sister-in-law, it’s time for Tiezi and I to go back to the village to look after the flower garden. When I go back, I will talk to the people in the village about this.”
Speaking of flower gardens, Li Mo remembered the flowers in the garden. Last fall, there were only a limited number of flowers that could be planted. There were not many flowers in the flowerbeds. There was a lot of empty space. Just waiting for the spring to come with a variety of different varieties of flowers. Now the year is over. It is the beginning of spring. Time to plant flowers.
Li Mo said, “Plums, spring is about to start, and many flowers can be planted. Ask the gardener who instructed us before to see which flowers can be planted. Then I will buy the flower seeds from the town and grow them. Bang brings you back.”
Meizi said: “I have already turned over the flower field in advance and then fertilized it. I just need to buy the seeds and plant them.” At this point, Meizi thought of the flowers he planted last year and became excited. “Sister-in-law, the flower seeds we planted last year, there are This year’s spring will be able to bloom, and there will be more varieties of balsam, and there will be no need to go to the village and back mountains to pick them in the future.”
Li Mo was also very happy to hear that. When he set up a flower garden last year, his goal was to make more balsams with different flavors. Now it is finally the harvest season, plus planting new flower species this year, I believe they will spend more time in the future. There is no need to worry about the source of the balm. There are different types of balm sold throughout the year.
The next day, Meizi and Tiezi returned to the village with the reluctant little tree. Li Mo took other people at home to make beauty products for the business; Song Dashan went to the street and bought the leisure room to sell. Snacks.
After preparing for two days and making almost everything needed for the opening, Song Dashan drove a donkey cart back to the village to collect flowers.
Last time I went to the village to collect sweet-scented osmanthus. This time everyone in the village knew that Song Dashan was coming to collect flowers again. They ran to the village and the back mountain to pick the flowers. So when Song Dashan came back to the shop, he was full of flowers. .
Taking advantage of the freshness of the flowers, Li Mo organized his family to make balm, and made hundreds of boxes in two days, half of which were sent to Yueniang’s shop.
At this time, the fifteenth of the first lunar month has passed, the year has passed, and the shop has opened again.
On the first day of the opening, many regular customers came to see Li Mo, and they couldn’t finish talking.
“Your store is the latest one to open. Some others open on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.”
“I have no choice but to do a beauty treatment during the Chinese New Year. I have been waiting for your house to open. I have been waiting for half a month.”
“I feel that my skin has improved a lot a year ago, but after a year, I ate a lot of greasy food and suddenly grew a lot of things. Come to your house and get me off.”
“…”
Each of the guests pulled Li Mo and said non-stop, and Li Mo smiled and talked back and forth.
When people were almost there, Li Mo clapped his hands and said to everyone: “Today our shop officially opened in the new year. To celebrate the new year, our shop held an opening event. Three days before the opening, wherever it was in my shop Those who spend more than 40 cents will get a box of balm for free.”
A box of balm sold for eight cents in the shop, that is to say, eight cents were given away. This news aroused interest and discussions among the people present.
Li Mo continued: “And I want to tell you a good news. We have two new balsams in our store. One is plum and the other is azalea. You can try it for free today, and You can choose the balm as presented.”
As soon as this statement came out, the heart of the guests was attracted again.
Someone in the crowd asked: “Can the money for beauty and makeup be counted in forty cents?”
Many women who want to come for beauty care want to ask this question.
Li Mo nodded, “It doesn’t matter, whether it’s buying rouge gouache or makeup and beauty, you can get a box of balm for as long as you spend more than forty wen.”
Although most of the stores in Limo are not bad for money, everyone is very happy to have something to give away. Don’t let it go.
Those who are not very rich are even more tempted.
Therefore, at the moment, some women have picked rouge gouache in the store and plan to buy them together today.
