My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

Now that he has made up his mind to enter the cosmetics industry, in addition to the necessary market research, the product quality itself must also be excellent.

So starting from the raw materials, Ye An began to try again and again.Among them, there are two main directions, namely cleaning and makeup.

The cleaning category includes soap, toothbrush and toothpaste.As early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties, things like "bath beans" had been introduced to China along with Buddhism.By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, oil had been added and made into a solid form. Although the taste was a bit unpleasant, it was actually only one step away from the soap of later generations.But soap is convenient after all, and the materials are cheap and easy to make.

As for the toothbrush, Ye An wanted to do it a long time ago. At this time, everyone is still using willow branches to brush their teeth, and the ones that are particular about dipping in fine salt will taste delicious in their mouths!Ye An asked the craftsman to make a slender bamboo board first, dig a row of small openings on the top, wash the pig bristles, and insert them into the small openings.

The second is make-up, lipstick, rouge and foundation can be made casually, which is enough in the Northern Song Dynasty.

As for the most profitable skin care category, Ye An has no plans to move.One is that women in this era have developed their skin care to the extreme within the existing conditions. The so-called "Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder" and "Feixia Powder" are so complex in craftsmanship and so diverse in variety that it is jaw-dropping.Ye An even saw many women walking out shopping with yellow faces, and only after asking, did he know that this was the "Buddha makeup" passed down from the Liao Kingdom.This makeup is especially popular among noble ladies in the Liao Kingdom. It is characterized by "dark yellow face, red eyebrows and black kisses, which is called Buddha makeup".Ye An was curious, so he deliberately inquired with the cheek, and found out that they used pickled cucumbers to smear their faces first, and then washed them off after a long time. The most important thing is the role of the mask.

Yes, even the mask.In addition, Ye An was also worried that if he used his half-baked chemical skills, and gave the girls a bad face, then he would be guilty of a serious crime.

Ye An, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to the production line, was so busy every day that he even took two days off with Dr. Zhu.When I got back to Guozijian, I walked with a scent of fragrance.Everyone who saw them winked and made fun of each other: "Brother Ye seems to have been running to Tianshui Lane a lot, how about it, the lady there is ecstasy?"

Xiaotianshui Lane is located in the north of Xiangguo Temple. The lane is particularly prosperous, and there are many brothels. There are Yanyue plaques hanging in front of the door.Ye An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought he was going to have fun, so he didn't explain too much, Zuo Mian Hua Su Liu didn't have a bad reputation in this dynasty, even Fan Zhongyan and Fan Xianggong had prostitutes.

But just after class that day, he was surrounded by Fan Chunren and Di Qing. "What are you busy with these days? But you haven't come to school for several days." Fan Chunren asked curiously.

"Oh? Don't you know that little brother, I linger in the flowers all day long and have no intention of studying?" Ye An teased him.

Unexpectedly, Fan Chunren laughed out loud instead, "Okay, okay, then I don't know which delicate flower Brother Ye likes? Why don't you bring it out for me to see."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ye An was puzzled, why?Are you pretending not to look like yourself?

Fan Chunren shook his head: "It's not a matter of resemblance." He looked him up and down, and said firmly: "If you look like this, if you get into the eyes of the girls in Tianshui Lane..."

"They swallowed everything from the skin to the bone." Di Yong helped answer the question.

Ye An was so angry that he didn't want to talk to them at all.Fan Chunren said a lot of good things before coaxing him back.

In the end, Ye An moaned and said, "You don't need to make fun of me, you will be envious when my master's business grows."

"Yes, yes, can the senior official tell the younger one what kind of business it is?" Fan Chunren apologized.

So Ye An recounted his beauty plan, and took out a bunch of things from the food box, "Help me, which color looks better?"

"What is this?" Fan Chunren and Di Yong stared at the small round tube in front of them, looking at each other.

Due to the loss of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the Northern Song Dynasty has been in a passive defensive state. Coupled with the redundant officials and army, and whether it is old tribute, the country still encourages commercial development.In other dynasties, it is unimaginable for a Guozi Jiansheng like Ye An to open his mouth and keep his mouth shut.However, Song Dynasty had a tacit attitude towards officials doing business, and everyone had property in their families.Fan Di also knew that Ye An's family was not rich, so he was not too surprised to learn that he wanted to do business.

"Mouth grease, you open it and unscrew it, and then it will come out, it's guaranteed to be a good thing." Ye An said impatiently.

The two did as they said, and the packaging design was really exquisite, and they were amazed at this thing.

"The point is not the packaging, please help me to see which color looks good." Ye An rubbed his forehead, because he didn't have enough wallets, he couldn't mass-produce everything, if he had no choice, he wouldn't look for them.

But Fan Chunren and Di Yong have a kind of confidence in this, firmly believing that they can pick out the best-looking lipstick.After researching for half a day, I finally chose something I was satisfied with.

Ye An took a closer look, good guy!Sure enough, it is the favorite of straight men-Death Barbie fans.Hastily said: "Eh... If it doesn't work, please ask the female relatives in your family. When the time comes, I will give them a big gift bag as a thank you."

however……

"My mother is accompanying her in Yanzhou. There are five brothers in the family, all of whom are boys." Di Yongmu said the truth cruelly with a straight face.

Fan Chunren was also in a dilemma: "My mother has passed away for a long time, and I only have two brothers." His father has a concubine, but he can't give his little mother rouge, and then he said unwillingly: "Brother Ye really Don't you think about this color, I think it's pretty good."

Ye Anxin waved tiredly.

Unexpectedly, Di Yong pulled out the lipstick suddenly and quickly painted it on his mouth twice.Then he looked at it carefully and said, "Isn't this beautiful?"

Ye An is still young, with a feminine look, and a cold skin, and the dead Barbie fans are not limited to his lips.But he was still furious, and wanted to beat Di Yong after chasing him, and this scene happened to be seen by Hou Zongguang.I saw his eyes shining, his face rippling, and he consciously chanted affectionately: "There are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, who will remember each other after goodbye. Why do you comfort lovesickness, and give you good looks."

Ye An: Vomit! ! !

……

Although Fan Chunren and Di Yong's vision is bad, he still brought Ye An other useful things.After careful consideration of the beauty business, both of them decided to invest in the first hand. Each invested [-] pennies, each accounting for [-]% of the dry stock.

It has to be said that the money really eased Ye An's tension. Originally, he planned to let Yuan Bao set up a stall, but now he can rent a shop.And with Fan Xianggong and Di Daguan as his backers, he doesn't have to worry day and night, and he kills two birds with one stone.

But this also brings a new problem, that is, the problem of store location.Fan Chunren and Di Yong unanimously suggested to open the shop in Xiaotianshui Alley.You must know that today's fireworks women can be called the fashion vane of the Song Dynasty, as long as they use it and agree, it will definitely spread in Bianliang City.In addition, Xiaotianshui Lane itself is very prosperous, and the traffic flow is guaranteed when it is opened there.

The idea was good, but it was ruthlessly rejected by Ye An.First of all, what their children can think of, other people can also think of, the shop in Tianshui Lane is not an exaggeration.Although the thirty punctures in my hand are quite a lot, I'm afraid there won't be a few hits if you throw them in.Secondly, fish and dragons are mixed there. You must know that Da Song also has gang-related organizations, and he has no one to rely on, so it is not easy to provoke those people.

"It's okay, if I can't, I'll invest more money." Di Yong's parents are not here, and his elder brother dotes on him quite a lot, with a lot of money, he will throw money away if he disagrees.

Ye An shook his head again and again, jokingly, although his chest was slapping loudly, but it's too early to say whether he will succeed.Thirty strokes is still within the acceptable range, and he can't afford to pay any more.

Finally, after many investigations, it was finally decided to set up the store next to Kaifeng Mansion.Although the rent is not cheap, it is not so high, and it is also close to my home.Fan Chunren was puzzled by this, "Although the Kaifeng mansion is safe, there are not too many people living there, and they are all men who go to and from the mansion. It may be difficult for you to run a rouge shop."

Ye An smiled and said nothing, he can stay here, of course he also has a secret weapon.

The author has something to say:

It is interesting to talk about the business of scholars in the Song Dynasty.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, people from Sichuan were always late when they went to Beijing to take the exam every year.But it is not because of the long distance, but because Sichuan is rich in products and different from the Central Plains, so Sichuan specialties are very popular.Many Shu people who are rushing for the exam often engage in purchasing agents, bringing a bunch of goods, buying them all the way, and finally making a lot of money.

In addition, the poem in the article "There are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, who will remember each other after parting. How can I comfort lovesickness and give you good looks".It was written by Fan Zhongyan, and he gave it to his good friend in Poyang back then, and sent her rouge as a teaser.However, from Mo Junchen's "Moon River Heard Collection", we can know that Fan Zhongyan's taste is quite unique - the friend he gave the rouge to is over 60 years old....
