System: I open an inn in the desert

The little girl slightly lifted the box with both hands and showed it to Zhao Xiaoyun: "I'm used to it. The universal shaft of this wheel is broken. You have to apply force in this direction. Look..."

Zhao Xiaoyun listened carefully and worked hard to learn taming techniques. The two strange girls quickly got closer over the topic of a suitcase. They pulled and pushed, and soon they arrived at the entrance of Baiyuan Garden.

"You can't enter the car at the entrance here, so we have to push it through, but you can look at the flowers on the way. The peach blossom forest was specially planted by the boss. There are many colors and varieties... There are also tulips and plum blossoms over there... Yes Yes, there is also a field of golden chrysanthemums in the corner..."

Zhao Xiaoyun introduced, and the little girl listened, surrounded by flowers and trees, and smoke powder filled the horizon.

"This is it, be careful of the steps."

The two stopped in front of a log house. The house had windows on three sides, and the wooden window lattice was combined with the vegetation. It looked very charming from any angle. Looking in from the window at the moment, one could see a row of makeup mirrors placed horizontally. , many people were sitting or standing chatting and joking.

In particular, they all wore ancient costumes, with swaying long skirts and silk shawls, like a picture of a living lady.

The little girl was secretly envious, maybe this was what the textbook said was lively and fragrant.

"Guan Zhao is here!"

"Guan Zhao! Good morning!"

"Why are you here to check on your work at this time, Manager Zhao?"

Everyone stood up to say hello. Zhao Xiaoyun and the little girl came in one after another. She pointed to the little girl behind her: "Good morning, everyone. This is the guest who has booked a hairpin gift. Please help the teachers clean it up for her in a moment." I want to attend the Hairpin Ceremony."

"Okay."

The makeup and hair girls walked over and gathered around the little girl to sit down in front of the makeup mirror. A makeup girl with an oval face and a beautiful bun gently touched the girl's face and said to the mirror: "What an iconic girl, we There’s not much room for us to show off, but today is a special day, so we still have to use our unique skills.”

"Know it!"

The assistant holding various tools and hair towels responded with a smile, and three or four people gathered around the little girl and started working.

Looking at the little girl's face and the old suitcase, Zhao Xiaoyun waved someone over and ordered: "Prepare some snacks and drinks to bring over, and give them to the guests to try during the break. Remember to prepare them in the rest area as well."

"Okay, Manager Zhao, I'll do it right away."

The little girl met Zhao Xiaoyun's eyes in the mirror and received a smile and the words "I'm leaving first". She couldn't move and had to blink her eyes to show that she saw it.

When the figure was no longer visible in the mirror, the little girl turned her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror.

The girl in the mirror was originally in a very embarrassed state, with sweat mixed with sand and dust, her wind-tossed hair sticking to her head like fried hair, her eyes still bruised and black from lack of rest, and even her lips were stained because she was reluctant to buy the ones in the car. Water and dry skin.

It was so embarrassing.

She thought so.

But the next second, a large piece of soft cloth was wrapped in front of him, leaving no gaps around his neck. Then, my scalp felt a little moist, and gradually, this feeling became clearer and clearer.

She looked in the mirror and realized that the top of her head was covered with a layer of fragrant foam, and a pair of hands was gently rubbing the top of her head. Seeing her looking over, the man explained: "There are three sets of hair styles, which require different hairstyles and hair accessories. We need to clean and maintain your hair first, and then style it. Please relax, it will be fine in a while. ”

The little girl blinked her eyes in understanding and stared at the scene in the mirror. As time passed slowly, she sighed in her heart, it turned out that she could wash her hair without moving and it would be clean and fragrant.

Washing her hair was not enough, there were all kinds of treatments. She watched her hair being dried and maintained by five or six products over and over again. To be honest, for the first time, she felt that her hair was worth more than her own.

To be treated so seriously...

Next, the last skin care product was applied to the hair, and the long hair was wrapped into a ball and fixed. The little girl followed the arrangement and took a bath, and came out in less than ten minutes.

She was even more confused. Didn't she have to take a shower herself?

The little girl couldn't help but think of a sketch she saw some years ago. How many steps did it take to put an elephant in the refrigerator?

Now she could answer with nouns.

How many steps does it take to clean someone up?

The answer is: three steps!

The first step is to take off your clothes. The second step is to lie down into the machine. Step 3: Come out clean and get dressed!

There was no need to do anything by yourself during the whole process. After washing up, she put on the middle coat that the inn had prepared in advance and specially matched with the dress. She felt the touch of the soft fabric across her skin, but the little girl became less and less realistic.

"Excuse me...do I need to pay extra for these?"

She had worked part-time in a beauty salon for a while, and knew that services related to skin care were very expensive, which she could not afford with her current income level. She was afraid of encountering a situation where she would have to enjoy it first and pay later, so she asked cautiously.

"No, these are all included in the haircut ceremony you booked. Please feel free to enjoy it. Now we start to officially put on the makeup."

Fortunately, the makeup girls' answers dispelled her doubts. Although the little girl was worried, she still put down a lot of her worries.

Little by little, a few pairs of skillful hands transformed it into something more beautiful than ever before, just like a dusty porcelain vase being carefully wiped away from the dust, slowly revealing its original brilliance.

"Mom, you are right. It turns out that I am not a rotten stone in the creek, but a beautiful piece of porcelain."

The girl's name is Su Ci, and she was born in a small village in the mountains of Jiangnan.

The small village is located in a remote location. The only road leading to the outside world is a winding path that can only accommodate two people walking side by side. This path also goes around several green and rolling mountain peaks. If a person goes on the road alone, he may be attacked by ferocious beasts such as wolves or bears. The kind that is taken away.

Naturally, such a village cannot be said to be open-minded. Everyone follows the ancient custom of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Of course, there is also the idea that girls can get married when they are old enough without going to school.

Among the village women, Su Ci's mother was particularly different. She wore the same low-quality clothes as other women, but in the dusty and muddy countryside, she always washed her clothes cleanly and was the best. Look at the one who stands out the most.

But for such a mother, Su's father would beat her three or four times almost every week. Punching, kicking, hair pulling, and cursing were commonplace. His favorite thing was to whip his wife with a whip.

The kind of whip specially used to urge livestock to plow the fields is made of several strands of leather rope. With just a little force, it can draw a red mark on a person's body. In a short time, the mark will become red, swollen and then turn into Terrible purple.

Once you sweat, it's like countless bees stinging you at the same time. Even if the fabric of your clothes rubs against you, it will cause endless itching.

"Mom, why don't you go, the further away the better."

I remember that Su Ci once told her mother this when she was a child, but all she got was a gentle touch on the top of her head and a helpless voice: "Mom can't leave, but Xiao Ci can. You must go out in the future and don't come back again."

At the time, she didn't know or understand why her mother could endure such a life with no end in sight for more than ten years.

Until later...
