In the last temple fair, more than 400 boxes of perfume were sold in three days. This lantern fair is only one night. Li Mo is not sure how many boxes to take. But he thinks that more is better than less. After more, he can sell it slowly. If less is not enough, he will regret. So Li Mo plans to make 500 boxes this time, plus the remaining 30 boxes at home, which should be more, I don't think we can sell so much.

Like last time, the whole family went to Houshan to pick flowers. Li Mo, Mei Zi and song Dashan carried a basket on their back. Tie Zi didn't let him carry it. He just asked him to watch the two little guys and not run around.

The two little guys are sensible children. They know that adults are busy, and they don't run around or make trouble. They also pick flowers like adults, and then put them into adults' baskets. The small appearance is painful.

The child doesn't need to take care of him. Tie Zi has nothing to do, so he uses his right hand to pick flowers slowly, and then gently puts them into the basket. Everyone can see that he doesn't pull the wound, so he goes with him.

There was plenty of time this time, so we didn't have to rush as we did last time, so the people picked it slowly and leisurely. They were not tired at all, but relaxed at the end of the day.

When the flowers are almost picked, the 500 boxes that song Dashan asked Uncle Zhang to make will be fine.

Next, Li Mo and others spent three days at home slowly making balm. After making it, they dried it for another two days, and then they arrived at the hairpin Festival.

The Lantern Festival is held in the evening, so going to make up for Qian Xianglian's niece in the early morning doesn't delay the work, so there is no time to catch up with the Lantern Festival in the evening.

Song Dashan drove his donkey cart to her elder sister's house with Li Mo and Qian Xianglian in the dark.

By the time the three arrived, sister Qian Xianglian's house had become a little busy. The people in the house were coming and going, and all the relatives were helping.

The host's house saw that Li Mo was coming. This time, there was no need to introduce him. He immediately welcomed him warmly.

Qian Xianglian's eldest sister took Li Mo's hand and said, "eldest sister, it's hard for you to come here so early this morning. I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Li Mo shakes his head, "yes, sister-in-law, don't mention it. Take me to the bridal chamber. I'll make up for the bride as soon as possible."

Elder sister Qian nods, asks her son to treat song Dashan, and then personally takes Li Mo to her daughter's room.

The bride's wedding dress has been put on, waiting for makeup.

When the people in the room saw Li Mo come in, they all stared at Li Mo in surprise. They didn't expect that this beautiful little lady was really the dressing lady specially invited by the bride. They had never seen such a young and beautiful dressing lady.

Li Mo doesn't care what other people look at her. She just nods to the people on the scene to say hello. Then she puts the make-up box on the table next to her and starts to make up for the bride.

The bride wore a loose red wedding dress, but her plump figure could still be seen.

After Li Mo came here, except for Wang Cuihua's lazy and fat figure, all the other women she saw were slim and even mostly thin. Women with good family conditions deliberately keep slim in order to conform to the mainstream aesthetic, while women in the village can't get fat because they can't eat well and they have to work in the fields every day.

So this bride is the first fat young girl Li Mo has ever seen.

The bride looked at Li Mo and blushed. She was rather embarrassed and said, "sister-in-law, I'm so fat that you can see the joke."

Li Mo laughs and shakes his head, "what a joke, you look so lucky, and you will be happy in the future. There's nothing wrong with being fat, as long as you're healthy. "

The bride was comforted by Li Mo and was happy, but she still secretly pulled Li Mo's sleeve and said in a low voice with embarrassment: "sister-in-law, I still want you to make me thinner, so it looks good, OK?"

Li Mo saw that she was so ashamed that she couldn't bear to tease her. She immediately nodded, "OK, how can't it be? My sister-in-law must look very thin and beautiful for you."

The bride's happy face makes the people next to her stare at Li Mo curiously. It seems that she just wants to see if the make-up girl is as powerful as the host's saying. Can this big steamed bun face be turned into a slap face? Don't tell jokes.

Li Mo doesn't know the suspicion in the heart of the people around her, so she just starts to make up for the bride seriously.

The bride's face is really fat and fleshy, and the size is not small, but the only good thing is that her skin is white and tender, and she looks very comfortable and pleasing. This kind of face makeup doesn't need too much, just a thin layer of powder, which is very easy to worry about.

The easy step is to decorate the face, which must rely on a large number of shadow and highlight processing, resulting in visual differences, making people feel a lot thinner at a glance.

Li Mo casts a shadow around the bride's face to make the whole face smaller. Later, she casts a shadow under the cheekbones on both sides of the bride's face, and then slowly decorates it. It looks like her cheeks are concave. The whole feeling is that her face is thin. After the modification of high light, the whole face no longer looks fat and puffy, but has a clear outline, slightly concave cheeks, and looks very small.After that, Li Mo refines the make-up of the bride's eyebrows and lips, and her face is finished.

The last step is to deal with the hair. Li Mo takes apart the bride's unrolled hair and combs it slowly. She divides part of her hair on both sides of her forehead to decorate her face. All her other hair is put on a bun.

Curl the hair left on both sides of the face, hang it on both sides of the cheek, and let the tail buckle inward slightly to cover both sides of the face. With the shadow, the whole face changes greatly.

Although the bride's face is not as thin as those born with small face, it must not be called "big" or "fat". It looks like a normal pretty face.

But because of the contrast of the big fat face of the bride, everyone present felt that the bride's face was really thin.

Li Mo is familiar with such a light car with face makeup. She doesn't feel surprised, so as soon as it's finished, she automatically retreats to tidy up her make-up box and leaves others in the room to express her feelings around the bride.

At this time, the room can be said to be bustling, women chirping around the bride, as if they found something great.

"My God, I'm afraid it's a magic trick. How can the face of Dani be so small?"

"Oh, I haven't seen such a make-up technique in my life for so many years. How can big baozi's face be so small? How can it be so powerful?"

"I didn't believe it just now. Now I have to believe it. Look at the change of face. It's too bad."

"That is..."

after expressing their feelings, some people gathered around Li Mo and began to ask Li Mo all kinds of questions curiously.

A woman about 50 years old asked Li Mo, "big sister, can you also make other ugly faces look good? What if it's defective? "

Li Mo thought about it and said to the truth, "you can make people look better, but you can't be a fairy. The original appearance is very important. If it's good, it will be more beautiful. If the original defect is too big, there's no way to make the defect the same as it doesn't exist."

The woman nodded, her eyes turned and she looked thoughtful.

At this time, Qian Xianglian's eldest sister came in and saw her daughter's appearance. She looked at it again and again in surprise. At last, she took Li Mo and patted her hand and said, "sister, thank you for making my big girl look so beautiful. Her face is the same as cutting off the meat. Come on, take this red envelope. It's hard today." Said to Li Mo a red seal.

Li Mo didn't refuse either. She took it over and took it away. Then she said goodbye to elder sister Qian: "sister-in-law, it's over. I'll leave first. You're busy."

Elder sister Qian quickly grabbed Li Mo, "sister, stay for a wedding. What's the matter with leaving so early?"

Li Mo waved his hand, "sister-in-law, there are still things at home. I can't delay any longer. I understand your kindness. I really want to leave."

Money elder sister see Li Mo go to idea firm, also not hard to stay, had to send people out.

Only song Dashan and Li Mo will go back, and Qian Xianglian will stay for the wedding.

By the time Li Mo and song Dashan got home, every family had already begun to have lunch. Mei Zi had already made lunch at home, waiting for them to come back and have dinner directly.

After lunch, a few people had a little rest, and then began to move things to the donkey cart.

First put the ointment into the basket, and then move the basket to the donkey cart carriage. After thinking about it, Li Mo directly took the small table in the family room and put it into the donkey cart. In this way, the table can be directly used as a stand, and the ointment can be sold on the table, so that the guests can stand and choose, and there is no need to squat down to choose as in the last temple fair.

Li Mo burned another pot of hot water, then put it in the only pottery pot at home, sealed with a bowl, and put it into the carriage, so that he could drink it when he was thirsty at night.

After everything was packed, it was almost evening. The family cooked dinner in advance, ate it early, and drove to town.

Not only is there no curfew tonight, but there is no need to pay for the stalls. Therefore, there is a lot of personality to set up stalls tonight. Even the dishes at home are sold by villagers.

Before it was dark, the street was already bustling. All the vendors were busy preparing the stalls. After a long time, Li Mo found a good vacant seat in front of a cloth shop.

Li Mo, the owner of this cloth shop, knows him. He not only bought cloth at his house several times before, but also saw it at the last temple fair. Later, he came to town several times.

The owner of the cloth shop saw someone occupying the front door and was about to drive him out. He didn't expect that it was Li Mo, but he didn't say anything. He just said hello with a smile, "Sister Li, I didn't expect that it was you. Are you selling perfume?"

Li Mo nodded and said politely, "boss, I'm going to set up a stall in front of your shop tonight. Don't disturb me?"

The boss quickly waved his hand, "don't disturb, don't disturb, I'll come out to set up a stall later, the two families sell together, but lively."Li Mo nods and doesn't speak any more. Instead, he moves down the things in the carriage and starts to arrange.

The owner of the cloth shop didn't leave immediately. He looked at it for a long time. When Li Mo looked at it again, he nodded with a smile and turned to enter the cloth shop. After a while, he moved a table out and then put the cloth in the shop one by one, just next to Li Mo's table.

It was getting dark, and the lanterns at every door of the street were lit up, especially the shops selling lanterns. They moved all the lanterns out of the shop and lit them up, making the whole street bright and clear for a moment.

At this time, the flow of people gradually increased, and the cry of the vendors also sounded, and the crowd on the street suddenly changed.

Mei Zi had the experience of the last time. She didn't ask Li Mo this time. She immediately opened her voice and yelled, "sell perfume. It's cheap and affordable. A box only costs eight Wen!"

Mei's voice attracted the guests. As soon as they heard a box of eight Wen, they all followed the voice and came to Li Mo's stall. They found that the box was so big that they immediately became interested and asked to open it to see how the ointment was.

Li Mo opened a box of rose flavor and a box of chrysanthemum flavor and showed them to the public. Then he said, "if you want to have a try, put out your wrists and try the ointment for free. If you feel bad, you can not buy it."

Good things like perfume can be tried for free, which is enough to attract a large group of people. Li Mo's voice just dropped, and the women around the stall all stretched out their wrists.

"Boss, give me a try."

"Boss, I'll try."

"Boss..."

Li Mo is not anxious, one by one should be, and then one by one to stretch over the wrist on a little ointment.

The women who tried the ointment were very happy. They smelled it and found it tasted good. They paid for a box one after another.

Today's festival, most people are ready to spend money, so it's much more convenient to pay for things than usual. Many men do not hesitate to pay for things in order to make the women around them happy, which makes the women laugh.

After a while, Li Mo has sold a lot, and because there are too many predecessors in the stalls, under the influence of the herd mentality, a steady stream of guests come to Li Mo's stalls, and they don't even have to shout.

Li Mo finds that the guests tonight are much more relaxed than those at the last temple fair, and the business is even busier than last time. Li Mo, Mei Zi and song Dashan are all busy all the time. Even tie Zi, who has been watching the children, occasionally reaches out to help. This is better.

Because of the good sales of perfume in Li Mo, there are many people looking at the cloth in front of the cloth shop owner's stall. The cloth shop owner takes advantage of Li Mo's spare time and says to Li Mo, "Sister Li, I'm really lucky for you tonight. My cloth business has also improved a lot."

Li Mo smiles.

The boss of the cloth shop didn't say any more. He just took a few benches out of the cloth shop and put them behind Li Mo and others. He said: "I can't stand standing all the time. Come on, take time to sit for a while and have a rest."

Li Mo several people quickly thank the boss's kindness, there is no time to say more, once again busy.

The flow of people didn't begin to subside until after Zishi. At this time, Li Mo found that there were few balms left at home, which greatly exceeded her expectation. She thought it would be good to sell 300 boxes. Unexpectedly, she sold nearly 500 boxes in one night, which was more than the last Temple fair.

After midnight, there was no one on the street. The vendors began to pack up their things and go home. Li Mo and others also packed up their things and planned to go back home.

Song Dashan moves the table back to the carriage. Mei Zi moves the basket to the carriage. Li Mo is picking up the rest of the things. The boss of the cloth shop next to him comes up and delivers two batches of brightly colored cloth to Li mo.

Li Mo was surprised and looked up at the boss of the cloth shop. "Boss, what are you doing?"

The boss of the cloth shop said with a smile: "take these two groups of cloth girls. I think they are very good for you. They should be suitable for making dresses."

Before Li Mo began to refuse, the owner of the cloth shop said again, "sister, don't refuse. Just take it as if I thank you for bringing me so much business tonight. I've specially reserved these two batches of cloth for you. Take them."

Li Mo's brow is mercilessly wrinkling up, looking at the eyes of the boss, finally know why this boss is so enthusiastic to her, emotion he still has another mind.

Didn't he know she was married? He didn't know that song Dashan, who had been following her all night, was her husband?

If you know, why are you still courting her!

Li Mo's face colded down, the voice also followed coldly down, "the boss's good intention forgives the little girl not to dare to accept, the little girl has no blessing to accept."

Li Mo finished quickly picked up things toward the donkey cart.

What Li Mo didn't know was that until their donkey cart went out so far, there was a pair of eyes staring at them behind them.

The cloth shop owner looked at the donkey cart, his eyes darkened, and put the cloth on the table.

The boss of the cloth shop is Zhang Zeshi. He has four in his thirties this year. He is in his prime. He lost his wife in his early years and left a son alone. He never married again and brought up his son alone. Now his son is married and has children. He has no burden at all.Of course, men are in need. He usually goes directly to the brothel to pour out the fire, but he never remarries. It's not that he can't forget his dead wife. It's just that he hasn't met any attractive woman for so many years, so he didn't marry. Until last time Li Mo came to his shop to buy cloth, his heart suddenly moved.

But looking at Li Mo wearing a woman's bun, he saw that he had a husband. Although he was excited, he still kept the idea in his heart. No one knew.

At the last fahua mountain temple fair, it happened that he met Li Mo again. Looking at her calmly dealing with the guests and the way she laughs despite her fatigue, he felt even more excited. This is what he wanted his wife to look like. She is beautiful, virtuous, generous and smart. Everything meets his requirements for his wife. Unfortunately, she has a husband.

However, after observing for three days, he found that it was very likely that the lame country man was her husband. He immediately found it hard to calm down. He could not believe that such a beautiful woman should marry such a man. It was too wasteful.

When he went back, he still kept in mind. When he saw her in the town again, he asked for information about her. The news he got was that she was sold to the countryside and bought by the lame man in the countryside as his daughter-in-law. The man was also a widower and had an ignorant son.

The news made him hope. She didn't like the country man, but she couldn't help it.

If he could get rid of the country man for her, would she be willing to follow him? Although he is not very rich, he is also a little rich. She will have a good life with him. She is not one or two better than the lame man in the country. A fool knows how to choose. He can't think of the reason why she will refuse him.

Before he could figure out what to do next, he didn't expect to see her again at the door of the shop tonight, so he couldn't help revealing a little thought to her.

Unexpectedly, just a little careful thinking, she refused without hesitation.

In the end is concerned about reserve, or really unwilling?

He believes in the former.
