Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 78

Ning Qing said, “Would you also give me craftsmen?”

“They will come tomorrow. It can be paved in a few days,” Yang Junhan unconsciously looked away.

He really brought the craftsmen. She looked at the man in front of her, and asked the doubts in her heart, “Why are you looking out for me?”

Yang Junhan smiled awkwardly. It was because his old lady took a fancy to her. He was just … just feeling guilty … for that night. He couldn’t solve it by other means, let alone speak it out.

“Don’t think about it. Why do you have so many questions?”

“Why did you do that? Do you like me?” Ning Qing had always spoken bluntly, without trying to understand that he was not at ease.

Why was this woman so straightforward? How could he answer? Yang Junhan decided to leave and stay in the other courtyard, “I’m going. Don’t think about it. I don’t have any heart for you.”

Could it be that since she had no money he was worried that his materials would be damaged by rain, and would be lost? …… Well, this was the only reason right now. She rather persuaded herself.

So she shouted towards the back of Yang Junhan, “When I earn money later, I will return it to you. Thank you very much.”

What the people said was right, the flower boss was a kind person.

Sure enough, in a few days the shed was built, and it was really good. Half a month later, the road behind was also widened. A carriage could go in and out freely. Her things were all placed in the backyard, which was much more convenient.

…

In mid-February, the first batch of makeup powder was made and sealed into a powder box. She customized a square shape with a white jade flared porcelain box, a bamboo braid in the middle, and a butterfly brocade to cover it on the surface. The word “First Sight” was written in small gold script on the powder box. This was the name that Ning Qing gave her makeup brand.

Ning Qing looked at the box of exquisite makeup powder in front of her. This was the result of their busy work for a few months. There were many things to do later. Sister Xiuping and Ya’er were fully qualified. There was still a bigger task for her to complete, which was to sell this box of beautiful makeup powder and replace it with silver.

Now what Ning Qing lacked the most was silver. She had only a few silvers left. Ning Qing desperately wanted to sell these. She also had no extra money to hire someone to sell her makeup powder. In order to save money, she could only sell it by herself. After getting famous, she would have more money to hire people.

Sister Xiuping reminded her of the various inconveniences a woman faced more than once, and she did understand. But now there was no other way. Only earning money sooner could solve the remaining problems.

For the first stop, she chose Fuqing City. It was very big. There were countless shops selling makeup. She had to ask every family if they wanted to buy her makeup powder.

Because the makeup powder was easily broken, it could not be bumped or placed upside down. If it broke, it would be damaged and no one would buy it. Therefore, the powder box could only be placed in a wooden box, with the surrounding area still stuffed with cotton.

Although the wooden box was not big and there were only dozens of boxes of samples in it, it was still very heavy.

Although she was not weak, she had never done these things. She felt a little uneasy. She stood in front of a relatively large makeup shop, wandered for a while, saw the relationship between the people in the shop, confirmed who the shopkeeper was and finally walked in.

“Are you the shopkeeper?”

The shopkeeper was forty or fifty years old. Seeing that a female customer came in, he habitually piled up a smiley face and enthusiastically said, “Ma’am, what do you want to buy?”

Ning Qing said, “I won’t buy anything, I’m here to sell things.”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face fell, and his enthusiasm disappeared. If she didn’t come to buy anything, there would be no money to earn. Naturally, there was no need to greet her. There was everything in the shop.

“I don’t buy. Ma’am, go somewhere else to sell it,” the shopkeeper’s words were already obvious.

His face showed that she was not welcome. Ning Qing got a little uncomfortable. After all, everyone has self-esteem and would definitely feel uncomfortable when they get hit.

Fortunately, she had a thicker skin. She thought she couldn’t give up easily. She smiled, put down the wooden box, took out makeup powder from the inside, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

“It’s makeup powder made by my family. Please take a look at it.”

Ning Qing simply opened the powder box, “Look at this powder. It is very delicate. I added motherwort and pearl powder which can not only whiten, but also nourish the face, remove scars and remove dark pigmentation.”

(motherwort: a herb of mint family)

The shopkeeper glanced at the thing in Ning Qing’s hands, and said, “Ma’am, you look at me. My shop is famous in Fuqing City. Many of the makeup products come here. You see, we have dozens of varieties of makeup, all of which have a reputation. Your product is unknown, and I dare not take it. These things are used on the face of people. We cannot just accept anyone’s homemade products casually. If something goes wrong, the reputation of my shop would be smashed.”

“My makeup powder materials are all excellent, it will definitely not …”

“We can’t trust your words alone. Ma’am, you should go to another shop. Anyway, no matter how good you say the product is, I will not buy it,” the shopkeeper interrupted her. She was not allowed to say anything.

Ning Qing sighed, packed up and walked out of the makeup shop.

The voice of the man in the shop came again, “Keep your eyes sharp. In the future, don’t let anyone enter the shop.”
