I do beauty in Jianghu

Chapter 13 3. The same bed

There was no laundry pole set up in the yard, and Qi Ming casually threw the splashed bedding onto the chair outside.

Wearing a thin underwear, Bai Muxi consciously rolled into the bed, covered the quilt, stretched out his eyes from under the quilt to look out, and couldn't stop comforting himself.

Isn't it just two people covering a quilt to sleep? When I was a child, I spent the winter and slept in the arms of an old beggar. At that time, I didn't even have a quilt, and the poor had nothing to pay attention to.

While thinking, my heart was pounding.

Qi Ming took off his coat, turned off the lights, and walked towards the bed step by step.

Bai Muxi retracted his head into the quilt, gripped the quilt tightly with five fingers, and cursed in his heart, what's there to be nervous about!Coward!

The sound of footsteps stopped beside the bed, and a moment later, a strange weight pressed on the bedding, and Bai Muxi, who hid herself, could not see the situation outside, and was more sensitive to sound and movement.

Perhaps it was because the quilt was too stuffy, he was sweating and his cheeks were flushed.

After a long time, thinking that Qi Ming must have fallen asleep, Bai Muxi secretly lifted the quilt, and looked at him through the moonlight outside the window. Qi Ming was lying on the pillow next to him, closed his eyes, and took a long breath .

Bai Muxi sneered, right, two big men, it's too normal, so nervous.

So he turned over and closed his eyes to fall asleep. After relaxing his whole body, he began to snore not long after. The sound was not loud, but it was like the sound a kitten makes when it is comfortable.

Qi Ming, who had just fallen asleep, frowned slightly and opened his eyes.

He is light-sensed, alert, and wakes up at the slightest movement, let alone the sound of snoring right next to his ear.

Qi Ming stared at the top of the bed with his eyes open.

Bai Muxi usually sleeps without much sound, and only snores when she is extremely tired, so she should be considerate.

After forcing himself to adapt for a while, Qi Ming became more and more sleepy, and his eyelids began to fight, but just when he was about to close his eyes and go to sleep, suddenly a hand stretched out from the side, and slapped his face unceremoniously .

Qi Ming: "..."

Bai Muxi, who turned over to face the wall, probably felt too bored, turned over in her sleep, her cheek deviated from the pillow, and moved closer to Qi Ming's neck.

The hot and humid breath sprayed directly on Qi Ming's neck.

Qi Ming silently took his hands off his face, and pushed his face aside his neck by the way.

Because of this, he never shared the same bed with others!

Bai Muxi's sleeping appearance was not so bad either. Just as he pushed his face away, his legs were rolled up under the quilt, and he tirelessly rolled over again, sticking his whole body to Qi Ming's side, and felt that the sideways posture pressed his arms and made him feel uncomfortable. So the upper body twisted, took out the arm, and placed it on Qi Ming's chest again. The whole upper body was in a big shape, sleeping soundly and domineeringly.

Qi Ming endured it, thinking that if he didn't have the same knowledge as him, he could just put his arm on it, it didn't weigh much, and if he fell asleep early, he would pretend he didn't know anything.

But after a while, the quilt on Qi Ming disappeared again.

Bai Muxi felt insecure when she was sleeping, she liked to hug the quilt, and she rolled the quilt first-rately, then she rolled again, rolled into the bed with the quilt, and slept against the wall.

Qi Ming was silent for a while, and stretched out his hand to pull down the bed curtains on both sides to cover the airflow in the house. This new house is more sheltered from the wind than the previous dilapidated house. Once the bed curtains block the space, the space is instantly smaller. The bed curtains are thick, so naturally it is much warmer It doesn't matter whether you cover it with a quilt or not.

Qi Ming lay back down again, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

As a result, after the bed curtain was pulled down, it became a little hot under the quilt. After a while, Bai Muxi kicked off the quilt and spread it out to sleep.

So barely the hatchback was settled in the middle of the night.

It got colder in the middle of the night, and Bai Muxi, who couldn't touch the quilt in a daze, looked for heat sources everywhere, so he leaned over to Qi Ming's side, and slept next to his arm. After sleeping for a while, he simply stretched out his arms to hug him, resting his head. It was warm on his chest, and he didn't move for the rest of the night.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Xiaoyu got up early to prepare hot water for the two masters to wash, but was startled as soon as the door opened.

Qi Ming exercised his muscles and bones in the yard expressionlessly, with every move in a steady and smooth manner.

It was the first time Xiaoyu saw his master who got up earlier than the servants, so he hurriedly greeted Qi Ming, but Qi Ming ignored him. Xiaoyu was used to being ignored by his master, so after asking, he ran to the kitchen to boil water.

When the sunlight hit his eyelids through the window, Bai Muxi was struggling to get out of a good night's dream. He stretched out on the bed, sat up while yawning, but found that the quilt had been kicked to the corner Here, Qi Ming disappeared.

Qi Ming always gets up earlier than him, Bai Muxi is not surprised, but why is the quilt in the corner?

He vaguely remembered that it seemed to be very hot at night.

But slept soundly.

Hearing the movement in the room, Xiaoyu knocked on the door with the wash water, and when Bai Muxi said "Come in", he opened the door with water and walked in.

Bai Muxi thought it was Qi Ming who knocked on the door, and was leaning against the bed and yawning lazily, when she saw Xiaoyu coming in with wash water, she almost choked, and hurriedly said: "No need, you just watch the door, no need Take care of that."

Xiaoyu chuckled, the master asked him to come here to do odd jobs and watch the door, and he should do these things.

Bai Muxi looked at Xiaoyu, thinking of his former self, feeling a little complicated, he touched Xiaoyu's head, and said nothing.

At noon, news came from the merchant that the goods had arrived and could be delivered in the afternoon.

I didn’t buy too much in the first batch. Both Ling Jinghua and South Sea pearls were expensive to make. Adding other materials, it cost 28 taels a box. When ordering the first batch of materials, Bai Muxi didn’t have much money, so he ordered less, only He barely made four or five boxes, but Liu Chuyun took them all away in the blink of an eye.

Regarding the Lingjing Yunzhi pearl ointment in Bai Muxi's hands, it gradually spread in a small circle centered on Liu Chuyun. A box of 30 taels of rouge gouache is not cheap for ordinary young ladies, nor is it cheap. It is not expensive, but the effect of pearl ointment is so effective, it is not inferior to those expensive big-name face creams, so it naturally attracts the attention of young ladies.

Immediately, Bai Muxi faced a question that Liu Chuyun said at the time.

Insufficient supply.

The quantity in his hands is too small, and when he can't sell it, he can't sell a box, and if he opens a hole a little, it will immediately appear to be stretched.

The caravan is also a big problem. On average, they pass through the South China Sea once a month. Small orders like Bai Muxi are always dropped by, so it is impossible to make a special trip for his goods worth tens of taels of silver.

This made Bai Muxi feel embarrassed, a smart woman can't cook without rice, it is impossible to dig out the capital from the ground, if there is nothing, there is nothing, even if the guests come, there is nothing to sell if they want to sell.

This feeling of being unable to show others that he was pregnant with precious jade made Bai Muxi anxiously scratching his head, he didn't even have any contacts who could borrow money, and the only Liu Chuyun had received too much help from her, he really couldn't open his mouth.

Qi Ming saw that he was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do. He could help call back those who came to ask for trouble, but with his ability to make money on the ground, he was really helpless now.

After several days of embarrassment, in the end, Liu Chuyun couldn't stand it any longer. After thinking about it in the house for a long time, she ran to her father to borrow money, 600 taels of silver.

Father Liu looked at her, and said for a while, "You have to think about it, if you can't continue the business in the future, your 600 taels will be in vain. In fact, you are just doing entertainment on weekdays, so there is no need to rush this moment."

But Liu Chuyun shook her head: "My daughter has been thinking about it for a long time, and she has also asked for advice to learn a lot. My daughter wants...to treat this matter as a serious matter."

"As a product, Yunzhi Pearl Cream has already received good feedback after selling more than a dozen boxes. Those who bought it still want to buy it, and those who haven't bought it start to inquire about it. But in just four or five days, there are already many No fewer than ten people I know or don't know have asked me."

"A powder with no background, no store, no license, and nothing can receive such an effect, which shows that it is not a fraudulent thing, it is a real treasure, just because Bai Muxi who owns it I came from a humble family background and insufficient capital, so for the time being, it seems that it is not conspicuous and irregular, but even if the pearl is dusty, it is still a pearl, and it will be eye-catching anytime it is taken out."

"There are so many cosmetics in the market, which one didn't start from a small business?"

"Father, I think this pearl ointment can be made if we work hard."

Father Liu looked at his daughter and didn't quite agree: "For a product, if you want to make it big, make money, it depends not only on the quality of the product itself."

Liu Chuyun argued: "But the quality of the product itself is the root of all this!"

Father Liu was startled.

Liu Chuyun: "Yes, a product does not only rely on its quality to make money, but the quality of the product itself is low, and it is praised only by its reputation. Like Liu Ji in the past few years, it became popular all over the country overnight and earned a lot of money. The bowl is full, but now, in only three years, it has been despised and scolded by the world, and no one cares about it."

"Pearl ointment may indeed be unknown now, but its remarkable effect is the root of its fame."

"How can a tall building rise from the ground without a foundation?"

"As for what you said about compensation or non-compensation, in business, there is no reason to make a steady profit without compensation, but pearl ointment is very rare. Since the opportunity is in front of me, my daughter is willing to give it a go!"

Father Liu looked deeply at his daughter, with a gratified smile in his eyes. His original intention was to test whether her daughter was impulsive or ready.

600 taels, although it is a large number, but for the sake of their daughter, the Liu family can afford it.

For the more than 600 taels of silver, Bai Muxi and Liu Chuyun didn't keep any of it this time, and used all of it to buy materials for pearl cream. The original caravan thought it was too little to pick up, so they traveled all over the city, and finally found someone who was willing to consider it. Caravan.

The owner of the caravan weighed the 600 taels of silver, hesitated for a while, and said, "Sure, I see that you two are so sincere, so I will take this trip for the two of you at a loss. If you are a businessman, you are not allowed to find another place."

Liu Chuyun and Bai Muxi nodded fiercely, this is natural!

However, this caravan is willing to pick them up, but the speed is not as fast as others. It takes 20 days to go back and forth from the South China Sea.

The two suddenly became worried, what should they do during the 20-day gap?

The author has something to say:
