Xiao Yiming was quite capable these few days as well. He had made more than ten small wooden jars, and was fiddling with this small wooden jar that was the size of a tomato with a lid.At that time, if someone wants to buy a tomato paste, you can put it here and put it in the shade for about 10 days to half a month.
Everything was ready, just a little bit of publicity left. Luo Manman made up her mind and went to the kitchen to get two buckets and a pole to leave the house.
"My wife, are you going to fetch water? Let me do these menial tasks? " Xiao Yiming didn"t know what she was doing?
"Alright, pick one then. I"ll go with you." Xiao Yiming then picked up the wooden bucket and headed towards the entrance of the village.
There were only two wells in this village. The ones at the entrance and the ones at the head. In order to get closer to the village, the Xiao family usually went to the entrance to get water.
Along the way, he still greeted the villagers, "Yi Ming, are you going to fetch water from the village?"
"Yes, auntie."
"Who is this little daughter-in-law behind you? Why does she look so unfamiliar?" Aunt Liu asked. She was not well and spent her days in the house. She rarely walked around the village.
That"s right, Luo Manman had dressed up today. Her hair was combed into a simple and refreshing bun, and she was wearing sky-blue clothes, making her face seem even whiter.
After twenty odd days of rest, she had lost a lot of weight. She was like a different person from that Xiao Heiniu from before.
"Aunt, isn"t this my wife, Manman? You saw it once. "
"Ya, Xiao Yiming, didn"t you say you were joking? "Isn"t that daughter-in-law of yours dark and thin? How could she be?"
The villagers, who were talking under the trees, all looked over in alarm.
A slender woman with fair skin was chatting happily with Xiao Yiming.
"I say, Liu Yao, take a look, who is that woman?" Sanniang swept a glance at Luo Manman with her sharp eyes.
Adding on Luo Manman"s pair of watery eyes, her entire person seemed to exude spirit energy. However, she could not be considered very beautiful, at most, she could only be considered a medium delicate and pretty appearance.
Liu Yao and the Xiao family were not on good terms, but when they heard Sanniang speak like this, they rubbed their eyes and said, "It"s really Xiao Family Wife, I even know the person who turned into ashes."
Luo Manman heard their words, when she met the villagers, she also greeted them generously to increase the attraction, she was not afraid of lacking guests.
At this time, the couple had already arrived at the village entrance. Several villagers were standing in line at the well at the village entrance to draw water.
Just then, Xiao Yiming put down the bucket he was holding, and the sharp-eyed w.a.n.g Ergou cried out: "Ah, Xiao Yiming, is this your wife? "Why is it that after not seeing you for so long, you seem to have changed."
He looked up with l.u.s.tful eyes.
"w.a.n.g Ergou, where are you looking? Seeing someone else"s wife, how can you be embarra.s.sed? " Xiao Yiming roared with a darkened face.
"Oh, you"re also clear. I"m jealous. It"s all because of your sharp eyes. You know how to adopt a wife, raising your wife until she"s white and fat."
"Did you already know this when you bought it? It"s not bad. Buy one for me when you want to introduce me to you!"
w.a.n.g Ergou giggled. His character was not good enough, he would steal chickens and dog from the village and spread the rumours with the widows in the village.
He would occasionally go to the village to visit the brothels. In the village, many people did not like him, including Xiao Yiming.
Xiao Yiming did not treat Luo Manman as someone who was buying this, he had always treated Luo Manman as an honest and proper wife. When he heard others talk about this, he was immediately unhappy: "Stop spouting nonsense."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Xiao Family Wife is so much prettier, what exactly did you eat? "You know what you"re doing, don"t you?" A village woman asked curiously.
This time, Liu Yao immediately said in jealousy, "Isn"t it just a little bit too much? "What"s so special about that? I don"t see Xiao Family Wife working in the fields everyday either. Those who wash clothes by the stream all hide at home and eat while doing nothing …"
At this time, Aunt w.a.n.g said something fair. "Don"t speak nonsense, I can see that Xiao Family Wife is diligent. He would come home early in the morning to do laundry and embroider for us to cook, but he doesn"t have much land, so he doesn"t need to go to the Xiao family."
Xiao Yiming did not care about the rest, he lowered the wooden bucket by the well and waited for the bucket to fill it with water. Then he shook the bucket with water and poured the water into his own bucket.
After filling two buckets, he picked up his carrying pole and said, "Wife, let"s go."
"Sigh, Xiao Family Wife, wait a moment. Don"t be in such a hurry to leave." Sanniang looked at the white and tender Luo Manman, and laughed to her dog leg.
She was originally in her thirties, but because she couldn"t maintain her health, she seemed even older. Recently, she had discovered that the old man was a bit of a thief, so she was no longer in a hurry.
"Sanniang, what"s the matter?" Luo Manman asked.
Everyone loved beauty, and the common saying was to cover three ugly things with white. After Luo Manman became beautiful, Sanniang"s heart started to itch.
She rubbed her hands and face red, "Xiao Family Wife, how did your skin become so good, can you reveal what you used it for?"
Before Luo Manman could reply, Liu Yao pursed her lips and said: "Oh, Sanniang also wants to change her beauty so that your wife can have a change of heart?"
"Liu Yao, you"re right. My wife is different from your family." Sanniang was too lazy to explain.
Looking at Luo Manman"s white and tender face, she felt jealous of her and continued to speak with her legs, "Xiao Family Wife …"
"Sanniang, you"re right, I used the secret recipe that we inherited from our ancestors to create this whitening mud. If you want to turn white, you can come to my house and learn about it. "
Luo Manman abandoned the suspense and followed Xiao Yiming"s footsteps.
"Sigh, Xiao Family Wife, I"ll go to your house to take a look, I …?" The Sanniang was beaming with joy as he followed behind the couple.
"whitening mud? "What is this?" Several village women began to discuss among themselves.
"Does that mean you can make your skin white and tender? Is that what you mean, Liu Yao? " The village woman was also very enthusiastic about this.
Liu Yao was embarra.s.sed, especially when he couldn"t see the Xiao family. He used his old face to pour cold water on them:
"What whitening mud, what ancestral secret recipe? Just try to trick me, don"t use your face like that. "
"Liu Yao, this shouldn"t be fake, right? It"s not like we don"t know about that Luo Manman, she just came to our village and she looks like she"s hiding something, she"s going to be as white as an egg."
"The Xiao Family Wife is a living example. Didn"t the Sanniang go and take a look? When Sanniang comes back, we"ll ask carefully. "
At this time, Xiao Yiming and Luo Manman had just returned back to the Xiao family when he poured the well water into the water jar in the kitchen.
"Is anyone there? Is the Xiao Family Wife here? " Luo Manman heard someone call as she stood inside the house, and the moment she came out, he saw Sanniang looking around the courtyard expectantly.
"Sanniang, come in." Bearing the fact that customers were G.o.ds, Luo Manman was still very polite.
When the Sanniang entered the room, Luo Manman took out the tomato paste from the small wooden jar. Just as he opened the lid, a nice fragrance floated out.
"Xiao Family Wife, what is this? It smells so good. " The Sanniang was curious.
"Not only is it good to smell, but it"s not cheap. 35 gold per jar."
"Ya, it costs 35 gold coins. It"s already enough to buy 5 or 6 catties of pork. Can it be cheaper?" Sanniang wanted to turn beautiful to the point of going crazy, but the price hurt her heart.
35 letters was a bit expensive for normal villagers. Towards this Sanniang who was known as a trumpet, Luo Manman decided to give her a pot to try:
"Sanniang, you are my first customer. In order to win a prize, I will treat this jar as a gift for you to try. Use it well, buy it again, and you will be the only one."
Luo Manman said mischievously, her expression mischievous.
The Sanniang was naturally happy, why not take advantage of the situation? Furthermore, if there was no effect, she would not sell it, "Alright, alright, alright, then give it a try."
"Sanniang, I"ll teach you once. When the time comes, use it according to the method I"ve taught you."
Luo Manman first used hot and cold water to let Sanniang wash her face, then evenly spread the tomato paste all over her face.
In these ten minutes, Sanniang was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
After washing his face with water, Sanniang felt that his face had become much smoother than usual, and was grinning from ear to ear.
"What the h.e.l.l is this thing? It"s so magical. My face really did slip a lot." Sanniang clicked his tongue in wonder.
"So, this is a secret recipe pa.s.sed down by our ancestors. You can"t reveal that. I also found that secret recipe a while ago and created it."
Luo Manman said in a serious manner: "Oh right, Sanniang, I just taught you, you should know how to use it now, adding the same amount every three days, I think you can use it five or six times."
Seeing her happy expression, Luo Manman knew that she was extremely satisfied with the effect.
"I know, of course I know. Thank you." Sanniang laughed happily as he received the wooden jar.
"About that, if you use it well, I will help you advertise it."
"Thank you, Sanniang." Luo Manman was waiting for these words.
The Sanniang was known as the village trumpet, and with her ability to add fuel to the fire, she had long spread the news of Luo Manman"s beauty to the entire village.
That evening, when Luo Manman just returned from the garden, she saw five people inside the house.
Sanniang"s mouth was indeed opened fast, the efficiency was really high, even Xiao Niang who went to wash clothes in the morning did not see the situation and knew the cause and effect.
Seeing that Luo Manman had returned, she immediately went to welcome him. "Manman, you"re finally back. These women are so noisy that my ears hurt.
The Xiao Niang"s eyes carried some doubt, as if he was saying, "When did you come up with this thing? "How could she not know?"
"Cough, cough, auntie, I"ll explain this to you tonight. I"ll go and entertain the guests first."
Just as Luo Manman"s left foot stepped onto the doorstep, the few women in the room walked around her with sharp eyes like honey that had found a flower.
Tsk tsk, tsk, tsk … Look, this Luo Manman"s face is glowing, her face is as white as jade, she is truly beautiful, if not for seeing it with her own eyes, she would have thought that Sanniang was deceiving them.
"Oh, Xiao Family Wife, you finally came. I"ve been waiting for you for a long time." As soon as Aunt Liang saw him, she immediately approached him.
"It"s clear that my wife is getting more and more beautiful. Why does it look like she"s my daughter who hasn"t left the house yet?" When she praises you, she can praise you to the skies, and when she steps on you, she can also step on the ground.
