Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 79

The first attempt failed.

Ning Qing smiled reluctantly and walked to the next shop with the wooden box. This shop was relatively small, and the decoration was not as gorgeous as the previous one. There was only one person in it, which should be the shopkeeper.

Ning Qing sorted out her expressions, cheered herself in her heart, and walked into the shop with a smile, “Shopkeeper, I have makeup powder here. Please have a look.”

Ning Qing’s box of makeup powder had always been in her hand. So she opened the makeup box and put it in front of the shopkeeper.

“Pearl powder, motherwort, talc powder, mussel powder are added in it. There is no lead powder. It could not only whiten and nourish the skin, but also eliminate scars and dispel dark pigmentation.”

The shopkeeper looked at Ning Qing, then picked up the makeup powder and looked at it. He even smelled it.

“The spice added here is clove, the fragrance is mild and calms the nerves,” Ning Qing hurriedly said.

The shopkeeper dipped a bit on the back of his hand with his fingertips and said, “It looks good.”

The makeup powder was affirmed, Ning Qing was happy in her heart, and said with a smile, “You really have a good eyesight. We have grinded this powder a lot of times. It’s easy to open and rub on the face. It integrates with the skin, you can’t see the powder. The ingredients in it have a long life and can be used for a long time. I can assure you that no bit of lead powder is added.”

When the shopkeeper raised his eyes again, his body stretched forward, his head approaching Ning Qing. He stared at her face and his eyes got frivolous.

“Madam’s complexion is very smooth. I wonder if you applied this powder?”

Ning Qing was scared and stepped back.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, “Madam, don’t be afraid. I wanted to see it clearly whether it was as good as you said. I’ll buy a few boxes to try first.”

In Ning Qing’s mind, it was only the shopkeeper who wanted to see the powder on her face. She dispelled the worries from her mind, ” Of course, I wear my own makeup powder, which I recommend.”

The shopkeeper said again, “A woman’s skin is different. I want to try it on your hands, can I?”

Why did she feel that the shopkeeper’s face was full of frivolous colors? Was she worrying too much?

“Okay, I will show it to you,” she applied some powder to the back of her hand and tried to spread it. His eyes were already looking at her.

The shopkeeper said again, “Ma’am, let me try it for myself.”

He stretched his hands and pulled Ning Qing’s hands.

Ning Qing was already guarded. She picked up the abacus, and threw it at the head of the shopkeeper, “Old and unreasonable, shameless. I came to sell makeup and you want to take advantage of me? Don’t think that women who go out to make a living could be bullied. Believe it or not I will smash your shop!”

Ning Qing shouted, and soon the shop was full of people.

The shopkeeper covered his head with his hand.

In the past, when he saw beautiful women, he would take the opportunity to be frivolous. Those women knew it but for the sake of their reputation, they all pretended to leave casually. This time he encountered a hard stone. He not only got hit, and scolded, but it also attracted so many people.

Ning Qing saw that there were many people. She wanted other women to avoid the bullying afterwards. So she preached to the onlookers, “This old pervert opened the makeup shop to get in contact with females and has bad intentions and frivolous behaviour. Everyone must pay attention in the future, and never let a female come here to buy makeup. “

When the shopkeeper heard that, he immediately scolded, “This woman came to sell makeup powder, but she couldn’t sell it. Now she is threatening me”

A person from outside the door said, “Old thing, I have long heard that you are a pervert. You want to pour dirty water on her. You have done a lot of bad things. There is always a woman who dared to stand up. You are a pervert, and after this, Fuqing City will know your character. Please close the shop as soon as possible!”

The good things did not spread, but bad gossips spread to thousands of miles. After this happened, the makeup shop’s business plummeted, and the shop was closed directly.

…

Ning Qing ran around for half a month, and most shops in Fuqing were visited by her. She could only sell more than 30 boxes, and some places were more remote. By relying on her legs, she couldn’t run to the shops in a day.

She also knew that there must be a process for everything. She must not be anxious. A box of makeup powder could be used quickly in two or three months. Customers would repurchase it once they liked it.

Now she had thousands of finished products in Qingshui. Thinking of the many makeup powders piled up in her house, she was in a hurry. She must sell as much makeup powder as possible in the shortest time before the customers repurchased it.

The sales in densely populated areas were large. She ran almost everywhere in Fuqing City. Those remote areas could only be visited with a carriage in the future. She decided to go to another densely populated area, Sucheng.

When thinking of Sucheng, Ning Qing was resistant in her heart. But in order to sell her makeup she had to eventually face it.
