C20 Received Rouge

After signing the contract with Cloudy Sea Restaurant, Shen Jingli excitedly went to Sister-in-law Chen the next day to discuss about cooperation. Sister-in-law Chen came out to the village to collect the soybeans, and then the two of them worked together to make tofu.

The matter of fishing the clams and picking the wood ears was completely given to Chen Jian and Mu Jin, they could also take the money that was sold. This was the first time Mu Jin had his own private money, and after being happy for a few days, he was even more hardworking than an ox.

The April morning was still cold. Shen Jingli rubbed his slightly cold hands together with the water and covered the last jar, letting out a sigh of relief.

After cooperating with Sister-in-law Chen, his workload had been reduced by more than half. Perhaps it was because Sister-in-law Chen had taken advantage of him and took over all the heavy work, allowing him to only do a few simple tasks. There was nothing he could do.

Thus, he began to make tofu milk and marinate the pickled vegetables. In total, he made a jar of tofu milk and three pots of pickled vegetables. He had just sealed the last jar of pickled vegetables.

After moving the jar to the bottom of the cupboard and placing it down, Shen Jingli pressed his waist and straightened his body. Come to think of it, he had truly let down that child in his stomach.

Taking a piece of egg cake from the pot, Shen Jingli ate while walking into the hall. After finishing breakfast, Mu Jin went out with Chen Jian to play.

Shen Jingli sat down on the Arhat Bed in the living room. Seeing Mu Chen sitting on the crippled stool and reading without moving, his expression changed slightly. In his heart, he thought that he should hurry up and buy some furniture.

He had wanted to drag some wood back and make it for himself, but when he thought of his body now, he dismissed the idea. He could suffer, but he couldn't let the child suffer.

But then again, this ancient era was really strange. He was far behind, and he also had yams, potatoes, corn, and other crops from other countries. He was the most advanced one, so the four great inventions only knew how to make paper.

Shen Jingli looked at Mu Chen who was copying a book titled "Analects of Confucius" word by word, and for some reason, his scalp felt numb. He had trained in the calligraphy before, and he had also tried copying a book named "Analects of Analects".

"If only there was a photocopier." Shen Jingli couldn't help but lament as he finished the last bite of his egg and laid on the Arhat Bed. When he was full, he would get tired.

"What gospel chicken?" Hearing his words, Mu Chen turned his head and asked, "Is this chicken tasty?"

What Shen Jingli thought about, was probably a type of delicacy.

Eat? As if he suddenly thought of something, Shen Jingli hugged his stomach and laughed out loud.

"It's not for eating, it's a kind of machine …" Shen Jingli suddenly came back to reality and covered his mouth. Crap, he almost said everything, he was just the son of a businessman, how could he know so much? If they were to arouse Mu Chen's suspicion, they would be done for.

Shen Jingli chuckled, "I said if only these books could be printed, you don't have to put so much effort in copying them."

"Printing?" The Great Yan Dynasty had still not invented the printing press, and most of the books were copied by hand. The amount of work required was large, and it took a lot of time and effort, so the books were extremely expensive. Most people could not afford them, and Mu Chen was very curious about them.

"What does printing mean?"

At that time, he was still young and young, he had even wanted to make a roulette for himself. However, he did not have the willpower to do it, and only played with it excitedly for two or three days before giving up. However, his knowledge was still very solid.

When he saw Mu Chen's calm expression, from the start to the shock later on, his heart was filled with joy. He knew how powerful this young master was, this young master's head was filled with knowledge and knowledge that spanned five thousand years, how could a mere ancient person be able to bear it.

When Bi Sheng had finished, he began to talk about Wang Zhen's wooden movable type printing technique, focusing on the wheel arrangement and the rhyming method.

Shen Jingli said those words proudly, but Mu Chen was suspicious of him. He was the son of a merchant, how could he understand so much? This type of printing technique was not something that could be used for a few dishes, but a great invention that would benefit one's future generations. He was so young, without much knowledge or experience, how could he just casually say it?

Shen Jingli, who was originally enjoying his speech, saw Mu Chen's sunken expression and thought to himself that it was not good. He was too eager to show off the knowledge he knew and in the end, forgot that the original owner was illiterate.

Carefully observing Mu Chen's expression, Shen Jingli almost cried. How could he be that stupid? Mu Shisi would not use this opportunity to attack Xiao Qu when he was so easily caught by others, right?

Mu Chen really wanted to make things difficult for him, but after thinking about it again, he felt that it was not appropriate. He calmed his emotions, nodded his head, and acknowledged: "It's indeed a good idea.

No matter who Shen Jingli was, and what his goal was, printing was a powerful invention. If he could succeed in his experiments, it would benefit thousands of students, and many Humble Class students who had abandoned their studies due to the poverty of their families would benefit too. It was beneficial for the country and the citizens.

"Have you told anyone else this?"

"Nope." He was not an idiot. The more he spoke, the easier it would be for him to see through it. If he were to be captured like a demon and burned to death, wouldn't he cry?

"Then don't say it." Mu Chen turned and continued copying.

Shen Jingli couldn't figure out what Mu Chen was trying to say. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be suspicious of something, so why didn't he insist on questioning him? This caused his heart to be in turmoil and he was unable to calm down.

In the same room with Mu Shisi, Shen Jingli felt very depressed, so he went out for a walk, just in time to see Sister-in-law Chen selling tofu.

"Shen, sister-in-law happens to be looking for you." Sister-in-law Chen had been enjoying the festive occasion recently, so she had eaten well recently. With some meat on her face and a much better complexion, her smile was like a blooming flower.

"Did something good happen to sister-in-law?" Shen Jingli opened the wooden door and let the Sister-in-law Chen in.

Sister-in-law Chen carried his tofu as she smiled mysteriously, deliberately trying to keep them in suspense.

Seeing her like that, Shen Jingli could not help but laugh, "Sister-in-law must have picked up some money along the way? Or is it that the kid is getting married? "

"What are you talking about?" Sister-in-law Chen glared at him accusingly and took out a small cloth bag from under the tofu. "Look at what kind of good stuff Sister-in-law bought you."

Shen Jingli was indeed very curious, he went over to take a look, and discovered that there were actually two boxes of rouge inside, the word 'kuai' on his face.

Sister-in-law Chen did not notice his awkwardness as she said excitedly: "This rouge is specially designed for Gemini. It's relatively light and can be used by anyone who is pregnant."

Shen Jingli felt even more embarrassed. Although he had transmigrated, he was still a man in his heart. A man using rouge was f * cking too much.

After all, everyone loved beauty. In the modern era, he would also buy face wash and skin care products, but he had never thought about rouge.

"Sister-in-law, I don't need to use this." In ancient times, makeup was not as superb as it was in modern times. He would often see girls and boys with faces like monkeys' butts painted on their faces, making them almost blind to the sight.

Sister-in-law Chen was not satisfied with her words. A pair, with money, how could she not buy some rouge and cosmetics? One must know that men are the most fickle. They like pretty girls and twins the most. If you don't dress up properly, aren't you just giving the fox spirits outside the loophole?

Shen, this sister-in-law will need to remind you a little. You are a pair, and you don't look too outstanding, if you don't dress up, if you continue working hard, you will become a yellow faced woman. When that time comes, you will earn a lot for this family, and the fox spirits outside will take advantage of you.

Shen Jingli was dumbstruck as he heard the words of the Sister-in-law Chen. He never thought that the Sister-in-law Chen would have such avant-garde thoughts, women in the ancient times couldn't be underestimated either, she knew how to win her husband's heart.

Sister-in-law Chen didn't care whether Shen Jingli heard it or not, she stuffed the two boxes of rouge into Shen Jingli's hands, "Use it occasionally, it won't have any effect on your body."

It wasn't that, it was that he didn't want to paint like everyone else. Shen Jingli opened his mouth wide, but in the end, he still held back. He knew about the Sister-in-law Chen, as long as she thought that something was right, he would blabber on until you listen to her.

In any case, he did not need to use the rouge, and it was fine. He could save the Sister-in-law Chen the nagging, and there was nothing bad about it.

Seeing that Shen Jingli had taken away the rouge, the Sister-in-law Chen did not continue nagging him, and happily took out a pork chop from the basket. With one look, Shen Jingli could tell that it was bought by the Sister-in-law Chen to nourish his body, and his children did not even have much meat to eat, yet they gave it to him every day. Shen Jingli was truly angry and happy.

Following that, Sister-in-law Chen told Shen Jingli about the matter of her buying tofu. She said that the Cloudy Sea Restaurant sold a plate of Mung Po tofu for one tael of silver, and a plate of bean curd carp soup for three taels of silver. On the other hand, she sold tofu in the market for ten taels of silver, and many people bought his tofu.

"Shen, sister-in-law doesn't plan to sell tofu these few days, I keep having the feeling that someone is secretly watching me." When he thought about how he was selling tofu in the morning, he always felt that from time to time, there would be someone staring at her with a cold gaze.

She thought that if she continued doing this, it would definitely cause some trouble. She decided to inform Shen Jingli that she would only send some goods to the Cloudy Sea Restaurant in the future. She would earn less and not be afraid.

When he first went to the town to sell tofu, he did not think of this matter, and was somewhat alerted later on. When he went to Yunhai Restaurant, he had originally wanted to get the boss of Yunhai Restaurant to buy his tofu recipe, so it could be said that he was just a shopkeeper, if he could not make this decision, he might as well bring it up, for fear that he would be taken advantage of.

"Sister-in-law, I understand." The tofu recipe had to be sold as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would attract a lot of trouble.
