Selena has used osmanthus and smoked a lot of unsold handkerchiefs and purses in the past few days. She also put the handkerchiefs and purses in wooden boxes, and put a few bunches of dried osmanthus in the box to preserve the fragrance, and then let Jose took it to sell, and it turned out to be very popular. After all, how can women in ordinary families afford perfume, even the ordinary price is not cheap.
Women are born with a love for fragrance, but cannot afford good perfume. Now those handkerchiefes and purses are scented with fragrance. If you put it in your sleeve, you will carry a floral fragrance with you wherever you go, which is stronger than ordinary essential oils. It smells good, and more importantly, the price is very cheap, half cheaper than the smoked ones in the store. At that time, many young girls and women gathered around, and they were all choosing from the wooden box with bright eyes. As soon as they got the aroma, they can't bear to let it go.
Jose has a good temper. Even if a lot of people are chirping and asking about this and that, he will tell them patiently one by one. Even if he doesn't buy after asking, he will not show impatience. There were a dozen handkerchiefs and six or seven fabric wallets in the box, and they were all sold out in one morning. Even the two bunches of dried osmanthus flowers that Selena had placed for incense handkerchiefs were sold.
At noon, Jose specially bought a large bag of pine nut candy, keeping half to sell and the other to give to his daughter as snacks. This time, according to Selena's suggestion, the scented handkerchief and fabric wallet were sold with an extra copper coin each. I made more than forty copper coins from selling handkerchiefs and wallets in one morning. Adding in some needlework and other daily necessities, the profit was sixty or seventy copper coins, which was quite a harvest.
Selena only ate a small piece of the pine nut candy that Jose brought back, and kept the rest for Jose to sell for money. It was not that she was reluctant to eat it, but it was okay to eat a piece of it occasionally to satisfy her cravings, but eating too much would hurt her teeth. No, if you want to keep white teeth, in addition to daily maintenance, you also need to eat less hard objects to avoid wear and tear. Just like the lady in the metropolis who never eats hard objects, she should try her best even if she eats a little sweets, rinsing her mouth with water.
Although they earned some copper coins from handkerchiefs and fabric wallets, these things cannot bring high-profit returns. If they want to make money, they still need to make more essential oils with floral fragrance. On the one hand, the preparation of essential oils is simple and the price is relatively affordable. , and secondly, because essential oils are consumed faster. After all, women have long hair, and a small bottle of hair care essential oils is used up in only half a month to a month. Selling it regularly in the future can be considered a relatively stable income.
Selena asked Jose to buy back a jar of tea seed oil and a jar of olive oil early. The price of tea seed oil is only half of that of olive oil. It is cheap. Once the essential oil is made, it can be sold to women from farmers , some ordinary people, and prostitutes, the essential oil made from olive oil is naturally sold to ladies from wealthy families, so the price will be higher.
The family doesn't have much money to buy those exquisite glass bottles, so they have to ask Jose to wholesale some ordinary transparent glass bottles. When filling the essential oils, they add some flowers corresponding to the floral fragrance. Although it is simple, it has a natural feel.
Selena is extremely confident in the things she makes. As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. In the first few days, Jose tried her best to tell the buyers about the various benefits of his essential oil as Selena said, but the buyers There were not many, but after a few days, someone took the initiative to ask. After all, the women who bought it before would put some on it, and after using it for a few days, they would find that the hair was nourished by the essential oil, which had some effect. Women always gather together and talk about their skin care and hair care secrets. Such cheap, easy-to-use and good-smelling essential oils are naturally spread from ten to ten. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is true that the sales of osmanthus essential oil and jasmine essential oil are very high in the next few days.
With the increase in income, the meals at home have also begun to change. Selena can now eat an egg fried for her by Maria every day. She can even have a bowl of fragrant oatmeal porridge every two days, with various types of vegetables. There are also more. From time to time, Jose will buy some tofu, fish and a small strip of meat to improve the food at home. Selena was a little malnourished before, her face looked a little sallow, and she had a small face as big as a palm, now she has some flesh on her face too
The conditions are a little better, she naturally doesn't treat herself harshly. She eats more and more varied meals every time. People say that long-term illness can cure a disease. She also suffered a lot in her previous life. Naturally, she knows how to take care of her body. She followed Jose to pick some wild things from the mountain. Such as dried roses and brewed into tea can not only make your breath fragrant, but also nourish your body.
he mixture of jasmine flowers and olive oil at the bottom was collected by Selena in jars. It was enough to moisturize the face and body for a period of time. To Selena's happiness, she used it Within a month, the unhealthy sallowness on her face finally faded away. Her entire face was as bright as dew-covered petals, and her hair gradually became shiny. She could feel it just by touching it with her hands, Such as good silk satin is generally smooth, because I have eaten well recently, slept well, and my face has become rounder. Looking at herself in the mirror, although she is still young and a bit childish, her blond hair, fair skin, rippling eyes, red lips and white teeth have begun to show her beauty.
Selena pursed her lips slightly in front of the mirror, feeling very satisfied with her results over the past month. Of course, it would be better if she could change to a clearer mirror. She used a cloth tie to tie up her long, slightly loose hair.
Although selling essential oils can make some money and improve the conditions of the family, there is still a long way to go before she can live a rich, luxurious life like when she was the earl's lover. Selena dipped some jasmine essential oil on her fingertips, she slowly moistened it along the fingertips and knuckles, she was thinking about something.
The moonlight fell softly on her body. It was a kind of quiet beauty that she dared not touch. When the moon almost passed the edge of the window, Selena getting ready to go to bed. She always goes to bed early. Adequate rest can make her body and spirit fuller. Moreover, her father will go to the city to pick up goods tomorrow and he has promised to take her with him.
Thinking about being able to enter the city, Selena put a smile on her face, took off her coat and got into the quilt wearing only her underwear. Maybe because she was used to sleeping, she felt that the hard wooden bed did not seem so uncomfortable.
On the second day, Selena woke up when the swallows were chirping under the eaves. She immediately got up to wash up, applied essential oil and combed her hair. She put on the new light pink skirt made of cotton that Maria had sewn for her and left the room. Although The fabric was not expensive silk, but fortunately the color was pretty good, and it was very flattering to wear at this age. Jose also gave her a pair of cotton embroidered shoes. After leaving the room, even Maria's eyes lit up. She vaguely felt that her daughter had been different since she didn't know when. In the past, she wanted her to pay more attention to her appearance and learn some things that girls should learn, like her step-grandmother's daughter, Iris, usually learns more about knitting skills and cultural knowledge. But Selena was spoiled by her father. She ran up the mountain with a group of children every day. Her hair was always messed up and her clothes were dirty. Selena couldn't listen to what she s
Seeing the anger in Lucio's eyes and the smell of his sweat in the air, Selena felt like she had entered some animal's territory, did not dare to move. She had no choice but to stiffly turn her head and pass the thing in her hand to him. She tried her best to smile as brightly as possible and said: "Your dry breads are not enough for you. This is for food. Here you go... just take it. you're hungry. It can fill your stomach..." Anyone under that unkind look would feel nervous, their scalp would be numb, their heartbeat would speed up, their speech would stutter, and their eyes would dodge. Others would probably faint from fright. The scars on his face were even more terrifying up close. When Lucio saw her look and heard her words again, his eyes that were already full of anger were about to burst into flames. He knocked over the unsightly pastry package in front of him with one palm. Thinking of the insulting words she had said before, he was so angry that his eyes almost burst int
The owner of the grocery store, Pedro, just bought a batch of bottles for essential oils and prefume a few days ago. The styles are quite pleasing. Selena looked at these large and small exquisite bottles in front of her and couldn't help but pick them up one by one and look at them intently. Due to past life experiences, she knew almost everything about production and sales.Don't underestimate the packaging of perfume essential oil bottles. The more exquisite they are, the more eye-catching they are, and the more people will ask, and sells faster than other things. Although we all know that the most important thing is whether the perfume or essential oil inside is made of good materials, in fact, it is human nature to love beauty. Just like women, good-looking things are always more popular than ugly ones. Selena picked up a bottle and looked at it carefully. She had recently used essential oils to care for her hands and face, and now she has begun to see results. The skin on her
Selena cheered up, pulled Jose's sleeve and told him her thoughts. Jose also felt a little guilty for his wife. His wife had suffered a lot of grievances due to him. She couldn't even see a doctor when she was sick, and she hadn't made a decent set of clothes for many years. He couldn't help but nod, he just picked up some groceries today, and he still had some money in his pocket. After getting the goods, there were more than a hundred copper coins left in the principal, plus the money sold to Pedro for the two jars of essential oils and the deposit for the other two jars of essential oils. Now there are eleven silver coins. Excluding the purchase of tea seed oil and olive oil, the rest should be enough to buy cloth. Seeing that Jose agreed, Selena smiled and pulled Jose for two quick steps, and finally entered a nearby cloth shop. The shop was not big, but it had dozens of kinds of fabrics. There was a whole cabinet arranged, which made people dazzled. Especially in summer, the m
On the country road, from a distance, Maria was standing at the gate of the fence that was simply fenced by her house, constantly looking around. When she saw Selena and Jose, she put down the sewing basket in her hand and stood up to greet them. Maria saw that they have bought so many things and spent so much money. She couldn't help but feel distressed. When she got the cloth fabric, she carefully put it away. She still complained about them for spending too much money. After saying a few words, she saw that the father and daughter were still happy and didn't care at all, so she had no choice but to carry the few kilograms of fresh pork belly and big meat bones the kitchen. Happened to have some sweet potatoes and some dried mushrooms at home, so she could make bone soup with the meat bones and make some rice, and the family would have a good meal in the evening. It's hot today, and they have been riding in a carriage for a long time. It's so crowded that Selena feels sticky sweat
The next day, Jose came home in the evening and said with a smile: "Today I went to several squire's houses to ask, first four houses no one wanted it. I didn't have much hope. When I don't have expected that the last house asked for a box. The person who bought the rouge this time was the rich lady who bought jasmine essential oil last time. I sold it a silver coin, and oday she even bought a bottle of osmanthus essential oil." At this time, the lady from a wealthy family was looking in the mirror and drawing her eyebrows. The maid next to her took a box of inconspicuous rouge on the table and said,"Miss, will you use the box we just bought from the seller today?" The lady paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "The essential oil I bought from him last time has a good scent. After using it for a while, I saw that my hair is a little more shiny, using the box of rouge..." The maid opened the lid of the rouge, and the lady picked out some pink rouge, then gently kneaded it with h
Selena begged Jose to buy a book in the city that explained the effects of various plants. During this time, she almost remembered some common plants on the mountain based on the explanations in the book, which was considered a small achievement. That day, when Selena dug up a mint tree and put it in the basket behind her, she was about to stand up when her eyes fell on one spot. Some dry grass there. Before, the grass covered untrodden soft mud, but now there was a footprint left on it. The size was not Dad's footprint, and it looked like it had just been stepped on. Soon. When she followed the footprints and looked in, she saw blood stains on a few thorns that she hadn't paid much attention to just now, which made Selena's heart beat nervously. After all, there were only three members of her family when she went up the mountain, and her mother, Maria, went down early to cook, and her father, Jose, was not injured. There was probably an injured criminal hiding nearby. Selena's scalp
It was cloudy when Jose went out in the morning, and it began to rain lightly at noon. Jose braved the rain and came back carrying a load. In the afternoon, he could rest at home for half a day. At noon, the family talked about one thing while having dinner. "Dad, you said Beerspa's Cavaliers recently caught a group of people smuggling fars?" Selena couldn't help but stop her chopsticks and asked in surprise. Jose took a bite of the black rice pancake and nodded: "In the past few days, people around Beerspa City have been talking about this matter. They said that a group of people were caught, and two of them ran away. They were all beggars in their twenties. Among them were A few of them are only fourteen or fifteen years old. Alas, they are still a bunch of kids. They have no choice but to do this..." Selena's eyes flashed after hearing this. She lowered her head and took a piece of black rice cake, then gently broke off a small piece of cake and put it into her mouth. She felt th
