Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Chapter 55 Lipstick for my wife



The canned camellia oil filled with petals quickly shrinks and melts in the boiling water, and the pigments and natural flavors of the flowers are all integrated into the camellia oil.

Seeing that it was almost done, Lin Heng took out the flower residue from the jar and added new petals. After repeating it several times, the half jar of camellia oil had turned deep red and exuded a faint floral fragrance.

For the last time, Lin Heng added a large number of flowers again and then left them aside.

"It's time for lunch." Seeing that Lin Heng was almost done, Mother Lin said.

Lunch was rice, and the dish was fried pork and badger meat with sour beans. Lin Heng ate two big bowls of the food.

After eating, he went to get his own flower essential oil. He poured out half of the soaked flower essential oil, mixed it with oil and beeswax in a ratio of 4:1.5, and heated it over water.

During the heating process, the beeswax will fuse with the oil and turn into a relatively viscous light red liquid.

Then put the liquid into the bamboo tube prepared in advance and wait for it to cool down. The lipstick is now finished.

The first time he made it, Lin Heng made relatively few, only eight.

Caiyun looked at the eight-thumb-thick bamboo tube and asked curiously: "Is this ready?"

"Yes." Lin Heng nodded.

"What is it used for?" Caiyun asked again.

"We'll talk about it after it's done. We can't say it yet." Lin Heng shook his head. He was not sure whether it was successful or not, so it was better not to say anything.

It would be such a shame to speak up and fail.

"Caiyun, help me wash my hair." Xiulan shouted at this time.

"Okay." Caiyun agreed and walked over.

"I'll do it." Lin Heng said.

"My hair is long and difficult to wash. Please take a look at it first." Xiulan said.

"Okay then." Lin Heng didn't force it. He really hadn't washed it much.

In this era, there was no such convenient thing as shampoo. To wash your hair, you would use rice-washed water and crushed soap locust.

The cheapest soap is only 70 or 80 cents, and good sulfur soap costs 10 cents and 50 cents, which is too expensive for farmers.

Buying a bar of soap can buy you a second-hand piece of clothing.

Lin Heng didn't have soap at home. He only had some tooth powder, which he used for brushing his teeth in the morning and washing clothes.

Lin Heng thought about it for a moment, and the powerful memory after his rebirth reminded him of the ancient soap making method from the videos he watched in his previous life.

In this era, communication is not convenient and there are no telephones. Everyone is even more cautious about their housekeeping skills for fear of being leaked.

To learn carpentry, you have to be an apprentice for two years, and then it depends on the master's mood before he can teach you.

Unlike later generations, the video makers on the Internet have typed out all the specific steps and ingredient ratios. If you follow along, you will be able to make it in one or two attempts.

The lipstick Lin Heng made came from his own memory. He was very interested in ancient videos. He had watched a lot of them in his previous life and even tried them himself.

Lin Heng thought for a while and decided to keep the oil to make soap next time he caught prey. After the experiment was successful, he could give this craft to Xiulan and let her make it and sell it on the street.

Later on, you can even open a small handicraft workshop and make a little money.

Much of the knowledge of later generations is also a powerful asset in this era.

After Xiulan's hair was washed, Lin Heng noticed that his lipstick had solidified, which meant that he had remembered the proportion correctly.

Cut the bamboo and eight three- to four-centimeter-long lipsticks are ready. There are no spiral lipstick boxes in later generations, so you can only wrap them in cloth.

"Try Xiulanyou!"

Lin Heng tried it on his hand first and felt it was OK, then he took it to Xiulan.

"Is this for wiping your mouth?" Xiulan blinked.

"Yes, lip balm, I made it myself, you can try it." Lin Heng grinned.

Xiulan understood that Lin Heng had been busy for so long, and it turned out that he was busy for her, and her heart suddenly felt warm. This feeling was like going back to the time when they first met.

"Here, I'll apply it for you." Lin Heng saw his wife in a daze, so he just started applying it himself.

Xiulan's small lips are plump, full in shape, and moderately thick. They are considered standard and natural M lips, but they are slightly dry and cracked, causing them to look a little white and lose their luster.

After applying the lipstick, it immediately turned into a cinnabar red color, smooth and oily with beeswax and oil.

This brightening made her look much more beautiful, which made Lin Heng feel a little surprised when he looked at her.

This is just a lipstick. If his wife painted eyebrows and wore a cheongsam, Lin Heng couldn't imagine how beautiful it would be.

An absolutely perfect oriental classical beauty.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Caiyun couldn't help but praise.

Then he turned to look at his second brother Lin Heng, and said with a strong jealousy: "It turns out that my second brother has been busy for so long making lipstick for Sister Xiulan. It's a pity that the sister who is taking care of your baby doesn't even have one."

"Yeah, your mother and I are so embarrassed that we didn't even give him one." Mother Lin also joked. She was actually very happy to see her son being so kind to Xiulan.

"Lin Heng, how did you learn to make lipstick?" Sister-in-law Liu Juan was extremely envious. Xiulan was already prettier than her, but as soon as she applied this lipstick, she looked like a bride.

"Your skills are very good. You can sell the lipsticks you make." The eldest brother, Father Lin, and Carpenter Liang also looked surprised.

They had only seen women from wealthy families use this kind of thing, but they didn't expect Lin Heng to be able to make it himself.

"Of course I learned it from books. I went to the library in the city and read a lot of ancient books. It's written in the books." Lin Heng said with a smile. This is not a lie. It is indeed written in the books.

"As for this lipstick, of course you guys have a share." Lin Heng smiled and gave one each to Caiyun, his mother, and his sister-in-law, and gave the rest to Xiulan.

Xiulan was a little embarrassed by being looked at by everyone. She took the lipstick and went into the house. She felt so sweet in her heart.

After Caiyun and the others got it, they immediately tried it on their lips. They took a mirror from the house and looked at it. It was so beautiful.

Caiyun was originally very beautiful, with fair skin. Once this lipstick was applied, it immediately gave people a stunning feeling, but her figure was too different from Xiulan's, so she couldn't compare.

There are actually no shortage of beautiful women and handsome men in the countryside, but they don't know how to dress up relatively speaking, so they look rustic.

"It's too red. You young kids can use it, but it's not suitable for me." Lin's mother took a look and wiped it off again.

She actually wanted to apply it, but she was afraid of being gossiped by the women in the village, after all, she was so old.

"It's okay, I'll make you a colorless one someday." Lin Heng understood his mother's mentality and quickly added.

Forgetting this was indeed his mistake.

"It's incredible, Lin Heng can do this."

Sister-in-law Liu Juan looked at herself in the mirror and felt more and more that the family was divided too early.

Why did Lin Heng look like a hopeless case before the division, but now that the division has started, why is he hunting and doing this and that?

It will be on the shelves next Friday. After it is on the shelves, the minimum daily update is 6,000, and the daily update is 10,000 if you work hard.
