Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 77

After three days of peace, the fresh flowers were purchased. Ning Qing and others began to get busy from the fourth day. Some ingredients needed to be mashed, some needed to be grinded, some needed to be soaked, and some needed to be exposed to the sun.

“Sister Xiuping, Ya’er, come here. Help me drain the water,” Ning Qing held a large jar with flowers in it. It had been soaking for more than two months, and the smell had reached its peak. The makeup powder texture was silky enough.

The three of them worked together to pour water into the gutters in the corners.

“Sister Ning Qing, it stinks!” Ya’er said.

“This kind of sour smell is good. It indicates that it has been soaked. We have to grind these with rice milk. After the rice milk is dried, it will be the main ingredient of the makeup powder we need,” Ning Qing said patiently.

“That’s it! Then I am going to the mill,” Ya’er said happily.

“Well, this has to be grinded repeatedly. The finer, the better. The makeup powder that comes out will be more delicate and subtle.”

Xiuping said with a smile, “I have lived till now but I have never used it.”

Ning Qing smiled and said, “Wait for the makeup powder to be done, you can use it in the future. With other beauty materials, not only can you whiten your skin but also make your face stay afresh.”

When Yang Junhan came, he saw the women busy working in the heat, grinding, drying. The courtyard was covered with various materials.

Ning Qing saw Yang Junhan. She was shocked and blurted out, “Why are you here?”

“Delivery to the door. Won’t you welcome me?” Yang Junhan chuckled. Ning Qing’s sleeves were rolled up revealing her fair arms. He looked away quickly.

Ning Qing glanced at the carriage behind him. She pulled down her sleeves, and quickly opened the courtyard door.

“It’s delivered so early? I thought it would take 15 days to arrive!” She was pleasantly surprised.

Yang Junhan cleared his throat and said, “… I was passing by Qingshui village and brought it with me.”

“Is there everything I want?”

“Yes. You can check it later, and then pay the money.”

Ning Qing smiled and said, “Anyway, I will put makeup in the shop. You will not lose your silver.” Speaking of the silver, Ning Qing really had to meet the Hua Boss. That day she didn’t have enough silver in her hand. It was over her budget. Some of the ingredients ordered from the boss later were worth more than two hundred silver more. For her now, this was a lot of money. Excluding the money to be paid, the money in her hand was really running out. Therefore, she decided to make some makeup powder quickly and sell it.

“Where will you put the ingredient?” Yang Junhan glanced into the house. If it was placed in the courtyard, the women could move them into the house after some time. So he suggested, “Can you move in directly into the house after I place them in the courtyard?”

“That’s better,” Ning Qing understood his intentions. He knew that there was no man in her house. He was seeking her advice. Could he enter? She already had a small workshop and often delivery people came. She was not so pedantic to pay attention to such things.

“There are two rooms in the back where we can place the ingredients. You can put it there,” Ning Qing thought that the boss was really a careful person.

“You tell me the location. I will let them move it in.”

Ning Qing led Yang Junhan through the main house to the backyard. There were really two small rooms next to each other, slightly smaller than the main house.

“This was the previous owner’s grain storage room. It’s just the right place for keeping ingredients.”

Yang Junhan nodded, “You have chosen a good location to live. The front and back yards are quite spacious.” After a while, he said, “You have to dry the ingredients. If it rains, it will be too late to save them.”

“In the future, I will put a shed on one side in case I need it from time to time.” This was also rather worrying. Now she had more than enough things! She could only pay attention to the sky at all times. One couldn’t do it without money. Moreover, some materials needed to be dried in the shade and couldn’t be exposed to the sun. It was necessary to build a shed.

Soon, the goods were moved into the hut.

“There is a door behind, why not walk through the back door?” Yang Junhan wandered around the courtyard.

Ning Qing said, “Behind this is the flower field. Besides, the road is narrow, and the carriage cannot come in.”

Yang Junhan opened the back door and looked in. He got something to do and he could also report it to his old lady.

So, starting the next day, some people started to widen the path behind Ning Qing’s house. Some people moved the shed materials to the door one after another.

Ning Qing was a little ignorant. Xiuping thought that she bought it. But she didn’t buy the wood! Where did it come from?

Yang Junhan said, “I had some extra materials in the other courtyard, only five or six miles away from you. Anyway, it was a waste so I sent it to you.”

She was rather anxious, “I have no money.”

Yang Junhan said, “You don’t have to give me money. Anyway it’s useless.”

Obviously he had bought the materials and also brought people to build the shed.

Ning Qing looked at Yang Junhan strangely, “What’s going on with the road behind? Why is there stone and sand?”

Yang Junhan frowned. This woman had so many questions, “I had extra. The soil would be washed away by the rain. I might as well give it to you.”
