No girl could resist such a novel thing!

Shao Taotao’s eyes sparkled, as she looked at the lipsticks in Qiao Xuan’s hands. She could not help but feel excited.

Her eyes were conveying only one thing – she really wanted to try it!

“Taotao is right!” Qiao Xuan said, “We can make some more these days. Taotao, I will give you one of each color, as well as 40 wen a day for all your hard work!”

“Thank you, Fifth Sister-in-law!” Shao Taotao cheered. “I don’t need a salary, these lipsticks will be enough for me!”

She had hoped to get only one, because she knew that lipstick would be expensive and it would be sold for money.

But she did not dare to say a thing.

She would like one in each color, because the lipsticks looked really beautiful!

“You are working for me, so you should be given a salary. My sister-in-law should be dressed pretty and wear beautiful makeup!”

Qiao Xuan laughed.

Shao Taotao flushed out of shame. “You are laughing at me!”

“No, no I am not, you are very beautiful and the lipstick will make you look even more so!”

The two girls were talking happily among themselves, but Shao Xiaoqi was still confused.

After a long while, he found himself remarking. “So… this lipstick is to dab the lips, but that would make people look like monsters!”

Shao Xiaoqi could not understand the concept of lipstick!

“What do you mean? You know nothing!” Shao Taotao glared at him. “Lipsticks work better than lip flushers! It is a very good thing!”

Shao Taotao looked obsessed. “Fifth Sister-in-law, you are so clever, and so capable!”

Shao Xiaoqi. “…”

He scratched his head, not daring to say anything that might make his sister displeased.

But could these lipsticks really make money? He was very confused.

However, he was even less sure when he saw how excited his sister and Fifth Sister-in-law were looking.

In one word, women were so strange…

The following day, Qiao Xuan, Shao Taotao, Shao Xiaoqi and Ms. Xu started to work in the floral field early in the morning.

They were loaded with a lot of work. They had to make rosy, dark red and orange colored lipsticks within the day.

The three of them were responsible for picking petals, cleaning, and grinding. Shao Taotao was a fast learner, so Qiao Xuan even let her filter the juice, whilst Qiao Xuan was engaged in other processes.

Qiao Xuan was thinking about buying some more things when she had more money, since grinding petals was a very difficult task. She wanted to get three jade-like small grinders to grind the petals, which should be easier than grinding by hand.

They needed to improvise other tools as well…

At the end of the day, everything was coming together nicely!

They not only had lipsticks, but Qiao Xuan even made two lip balms with mint and gardenia flavor. It was a cream with light green and yellow color, very good for moisturizing the lips.

Shao Taotao loved all of them. Her eyes were sparkling when she saw the lipsticks. Ms. Xu’s eyes were sparkling too, but she was trying to press down the eagerness.

She could not afford to use such a thing, and would feel embarrassed, if she applied it.

She could ask the Fifth Sister-in-law for one lipstick and put it on in her room. The lip balm was also enticing, which should be good to put on since it was transparent.

Qiao Xuan was quite generous. She gave each of them one lipstick of every kind. Shao Taotao cheerfully accepted them with gratitude.
