"My wife, come take a look. It"s done. Is it what you want?"At this time, Xiao Niang was still at the stream washing his clothes, while Luo Manman had just finished cooking.
When he heard Xiao Yiming"s voice, he immediately ran out and saw the small, exquisite and practical wooden cup he had just made in his hands.
"That"s it. It"s been hard on you, Yiming. The food is ready. When Auntie comes back, you can eat."
After the three members of the Xiao family finished their lunch, Xiao Yiming went back to the front yard to continue his work.
At this time, Luo Manman returned to her room to lock the door, and started to implement her method to earn money.
First, he washed the tomatoes clean and crushed them in the small wooden cup with a three inch long wooden stick. Then, he sprinkled some honey on a little bit of flour to make a muddy shape.
The benefits of tomato are needless to say, vitamin, can reduce melanin formation.
Since can eat and can apply to the face, often use the skin will be delicate, white and delicate. It was extremely useful for a village woman who often worked in the fields.
The corner of Luo Manman"s mouth rose as she began to carry out her plan.
It was said that one white covered the three evils while the ancient people were all more feudal, with the appearance of a woman as their first priority.
If the tomato paste she was fiddling with could whiten the skin, then many village women would use it. This way, they would be able to earn a lot of income.
Anyway, she was a Xiao Heiniu, alive and kicking.
Coincidentally, there were cuc.u.mbers and tomatoes in the Xiao family"s vegetable garden. Other than the fact that the honey was slightly more expensive, the cost was relatively lower.
Furthermore, just from the stonecrop alone, there were thirteen villages. Each village had more than a hundred people less, and the majority had at most a few hundred.
The village women would usually work in the fields and would often be exposed to the sun. They would definitely need this sort of beautiful facial protection items, and with this, their sales would go up.
Luo Manman pondered in the small hut for a long time. After dinner, Xiao Yiming would go to the stream to wash himself.
After she had just bathed, she first used cold water and hot water to alternately wash her face and then used the tomato paste s that she had prepared in the afternoon to cover her face.
He decided to secretly turn white and chose this time period.
After about ten minutes, the tomato paste had washed off its face. It reached out to touch its own face, and sure enough, its face was much smoother than before.
She pursed her lips and smiled. She knew that this method would work.
Luo Manman made a plan for herself. Sooner or later, she would wash her face, apply the tomato paste once every two days, and eat the tomatoes or cuc.u.mbers one at a time every day.
After about ten days, he realized that his skin was becoming paler and paler. This ancient natural fruit and vegetables were great. How could the effect be twice the result with half the effort?
This morning, Luo Manman woke up early, went for a stroll in the garden, and picked some cuc.u.mbers and tomatoes.
She had asked about the village women"s daily habits. As long as it was a woman, they all loved to be beautiful.
Some people who were poor would find it difficult to even eat, let alone spend a large amount of money to protect themselves.
In their words, it was a treatment that belonged to the town"s wealth.
She looked at the vegetable basket filled with fresh fruits and vegetables and smiled to herself. Her tomato paste was a type of consumer goods that could be consumed by ordinary villagers. Only by doing so would she be able to make a fortune.
However, this item of hers was easy to make and was easily broken, so she had to seize the opportunity to make her first pot of gold.
Night came. Night fell, and the sky looked as if it had been splashed with ink. Only a few stars could be seen blinking.
"Wife …" Xiao Yiming just returned from washing his body from the stream, seeing that his wife was not in the courtyard as usual, he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs outside the house the moment he stepped into the courtyard.
"Wait, it"s coming." Xiao Yiming saw that Luo Manman did not come out even after a while, so he was a little worried. He immediately went into the house to find a person laying on top of kang with a layer of mud on his face.
Feeling that someone was coming over, Luo Manman hurriedly opened her eyes. The room was dark, and looking at it now, it was as if she had seen a ghost. Yi Ming, why are you back so early? "
"Ah …" Xiao Yiming screamed.
"What"s your name?" It"s me, "Luo Manman stood up and washed his face, and the corner of his mouth couldn"t help but twitch.
Xiao Yiming walked over and touched her face and discovered that he was very smooth. He fondled her face with his hands, saying, "My wife, your face is so smooth.
Luo Manman grabbed onto his restless big hands, her eyes shining with a bright light, she laughed: "I"m not telling you. "Oh right, do you see if I have turned a little white?"
Xiao Yiming naturally noticed the change in Luo Manman during this period of time. At this time, he was a little agitated, he held her face and muttered:
"My wife, it"s not just a little bit whiter, it"s a lot whiter than that. Didn"t my wife notice that the men in the village have been staring at you recently? " There was a strong taste of vinegar in his mouth.
"Really?" Is this true? How come I didn"t know? " Luo Manman was slow on the uptake.
Looking at Xiao Yiming"s black face, he chuckled: "Xiao Yiming, I"m serious, the knowledge here is huge, I want to use this to earn money, what do you think?"
"Are you talking about the mud on your face just now?"
"Yeah, that"s the reason I"ve whitened up this time? How do you feel? "
"It"s a way to earn money, but my wife, what kind of wife is this?!" Xiao Yiming was curious.
"Secret, you will know after a few days. Oh right, these few days you can help me make some small wooden jars, I"m useful."
"Alright, daughter-in-law." After Xiao Yiming finished speaking, he lowered his head as if he was pondering about something, and didn"t say a word.
"It"s getting late, let"s go rest." Luo Manman asked.
Xiao Yiming suddenly raised his head and carried her onto the brick bed, provoking Luo Manman, who was caught unprepared, to scream: "You, what are you doing?"
He whispered, "Wifey, I endured very much. When are you going to give it to me?"
Luo Manman"s eyes were wide open as she stuttered: "You, didn"t you say you were going to give me time, I …"
Seeing this, Xiao Yiming"s face changed. Holding her pure white hand, he complained: "My wife, why do you keep rejecting me? Do you hate me?"
Luo Manman only felt the hot air from his breath landing on her neck. It was so itchy that she couldn"t help but feel numb.
Looking at his pitiful expression and thinking how he treated himself well, Luo Manman could not bear to hurt him, so she could only say, "No."
"My wife doesn"t hate me, so she likes me." Xiao Yiming was getting ahead of himself.
He rubbed her face. "My wife, I really want you. My generation is only good to you, my wife …"
Luo Manman was so scared that she was both embarra.s.sed and annoyed. She tried to push him away with her hands, but she was so heavy that she did not even move.
Seeing that his lips were about to fall, Luo Manman became anxious and used some force to push. There was only a wail, and Xiao Yiming fell off the brick bed.
"My wife, are you going to murder your husband? If I die, you"ll be a widow. " Xiao Yiming supported himself up from the ground.
Seeing that Luo Manman did not agree, he was not willing to force it nor was she willing to give up. Her face suddenly turned ugly, holding onto her chest.
Luo Manman saw that he was frowning, and was shocked, she immediately jumped off the brick bed, supporting him, she anxiously asked: "What"s wrong, do you feel pain somewhere?"
Xiao Yiming said, "My chest hurts."
Luo Manman became anxious: "It"s so painful, I didn"t do it on purpose, I, I need to quickly call the doctor to show you …"
Seeing her fl.u.s.tered, Xiao Yiming immediately grabbed her small hand: "My wife, I"m fine … …"
Xiao Yiming was originally just testing her, to see if his wife was concerned about him. After seeing her, he was so scared that his face turned white, and he could not bear the pain: "My wife, you"re okay, it will stop hurting after a while."
However, Luo Manman became anxious. "You still said it"s nothing, it"s so painful that you"s almost sweating. No, I have to tell Auntie …"
However, Xiao Yiming was both happy and puzzled at the same time. "My wife, you obviously care about me, why do you not accept me?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. You"re in so much pain, hurry up and call the doctor."
When Xiao Yiming saw that her anxious face was tainted with a layer of red, and that she looked especially beautiful, he would only feel unwell if she could not eat him.
He pulled Luo Manman into his embrace and met her surprised eyes, "Uuu …"
Xiao Yiming lowered his head and kissed his wife"s lips.
"Yi Ming, don"t …" Luo Manman looked at his dark and gloomy eyes, and felt a little afraid.
"My wife, you like me, so don"t hide it anymore. Accept me?"
Luo Manman understood that she liked Xiao Yiming, but this was not love. She had worn it here for some reason, she did not want to give it to someone for no reason at all.
Luo Manman suddenly pushed him away, she was now a little afraid of Xiao Yiming, and said awkwardly: "You said it before, you won"t force me."
Xiao Yiming stood up and hugged her to his chest. Just as Luo Manman wanted to struggle, he saw that he was holding onto her tightly with her big hands, and there was not even a gap between the two. Luo Manman seemed to be able to hear his nervous heartbeat.
"Wife, forget it, I can"t bear to bully you …" With that, he stood up and carried Luo Manman back to kang.
Then, he covered her with a thin blanket. After pinching the edge of the blanket, his face flushed red as he walked out of the room. There was only the sound of splashing water in the courtyard, and he guessed that Xiao Yiming was using cold water to cool down.
When he returned to his room, Luo Manman was already asleep, with two teardrops on his face.
Xiao Yiming"s heart ached uncontrollably, he regretted his reckless actions just now. Just now, in the future, he shouldn"t have been in such a rush.
In the following few days, Xiao Yiming still left early in the morning to go busy himself.
Luo Manman would often help Xiao Niang embroider flowers when she had nothing to do. At first, she would even struggle to thread a thread.
Xiao Yiming had been more diligent recently. Previously, he went up the mountain a few days to cut down trees.
Sometimes he brought back some fresh woody ears and mushrooms, so the dishes at the table were also sometimes quite plentiful.
Luo Manman was thinking about the vegetables in the garden, and would occasionally water the plants with a bucket.
