Chapter 396 Being a Guinea Pig
Su Qingnao saw Qingxing looking at her with curiosity on her face, so she teased her: "Take it back and make you beautiful so that you can marry a good husband in the future.
ah?
"Sister! How old am I!"
"Eleven or twelve, it's not too young anymore. It's time to start looking for it."
"Sister! I don't want it! I'm staying at home well and living a comfortable life. Why should I marry someone else and serve someone else's family?"
"Tsk, tsk, if my mother hears your thoughts, I'm afraid she won't want to beat you up!"
"I'll tell grandma soon! Tell me, aunt, you don't want to get married, you just want to stay at home." Xiaobao made a face at her.
Qingxing tried to pinch his little face, but he swooped and hid behind his mother. He showed his head and stuck out his tongue towards Qingxing. The two stuck out their tongues and made faces at each other, a pair of childish ghosts.
"Mom, this white soil can really make people beautiful?" Dabao asked.
Su Qing'an touched Dabao's head and was very comforted.
The other two could only talk nonsense, but only this child could grasp the key points of other people's words.
"Sister, can this Guanyin soil make people beautiful?" Qingxing looked unconvinced.
Su Qing'an nodded: "Yes. It also has another name, kaolin."
"Kaolin is a non-metallic mineral deposit, which has many uses. It can be used in coatings, porcelain, papermaking, medicine... and many other places. Su Qing'an saw the kaolin deposits in Yongjia, Tiantai, and saw its many uses, so she moved some of it back.
She doesn't have relevant technical talents for making porcelain now. But she wants to try making cosmetics.
She used it every now and then in the past.
Kaolin, volcanic mud, and glacial mud are all the main ingredients for making mud masks. And the mud masks with various effects are nothing more than various muds, sea mud, river mud, and mineral mud.
The main ingredient of many mud masks is kaolin.
Kaolin has strong adhesion and adsorption. It can be made into a mud mask to balance oil, deep clean, remove acne and blackheads. Su Qingmei used to use it two or three times a week. She bought all kinds of mud masks, most of which were made of kaolin.
Kaolin was discovered to be effective in the Tang Dynasty and was offered to the palace.
Su Qingmei has not paid much attention to her face since she came here. But not discovering kaolin is one thing, and discovering it and being indifferent is not her style.
Su Qingmei talked a lot, and Qingxing couldn't sit still. When Dabao and Xiaobao heard that there was such a fun thing, they also wanted to see if their aunt could become beautiful.
Qingxing immediately ran to prepare various things. When Qingxing ran, Dabao and Xiaobao also ran, and they also had to prepare things.
Next, Su Qingmei took Qingxing to try various things, and Dabao and Xiaobao also followed to make trouble, under the pretext of helping.
The two sisters each took a pestle and poured some kaolin into it, grinding and pounding it in various ways, intending to make its particles finer. Dabao and Xiaobao also kept pounding, sweating all over.
Until it was very fine, they got milk, goat milk, honey, and tea oil, poured in different proportions and mixed them.
Unfortunately, there was no essential oil. If you don't drop one or two drops in, it should be fragrant.
After it became a paste, the two sisters looked at each other.
"Go wash your face, I'll apply a layer on you."
"Then sister, come with me."
Su Qingmei looked at the sticky substance in the wooden bowl and was a little disgusted. I don't know how effective it is. Qingxing, the dead girl, is still unwilling to be a guinea pig.
"Mom, I'll help you try it, you apply it on Xiaobao's face."
"Mom, Dabao will also help you try it."
The two sons looked up and competed to be guinea pigs.
Su Qingmei kissed them one by one, and her sons were still cute.
"Then I'll apply it too." Qingxing also gave it a try.
So you help me paint one face, and I help you paint one face. Four faces with thick layers of white face paint, all lying under the eaves to blow the wind.
Lihua and Qingzao, who had brought out the food, were shocked.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Su's mother hurriedly hugged the two children in her arms. After she saw clearly, she suppressed her heart that was beating non-stop and scolded: "Why are you doing this in broad daylight? Lying there to scare people."
"It's only in broad daylight that you lie here. If it was at night, you would be scared to death." Qingxing saw that her mother was scared and felt funny, but she didn't dare to laugh, for fear that her mother would beat her, so she hurriedly said something with a paralyzed face.
"Grandma, grandma, Xiaobao doesn't come out to scare people at night."
"Dabao is not scary either."
Su's mother didn't know what to say.
Shaking her head, she took the two children over and stared at the two big and two small ones: "What are you doing?"
Look at this paint, only the eyes and lips are exposed, and I don't know what it is, but you dare to paint it on your face casually.
"Grandma, this is something that can make my aunt beautiful. If she becomes beautiful, she can find a good family in the future."
Ah, what is this?
Qingxing, she is not ugly, right? In the past few years in the mountains, she has eaten well and lived well, and she is happy physically and mentally. She is well-fed, with a rosy and tender face, just like the official lady she saw at her daughter-in-law's house. How can she be ugly.
"My aunt is not ugly. Mother said it is something that can make her more beautiful."
Qingzao and Lihua each held a bowl of snacks, looked at Su Qingmei and Qingxing, and did not dare to go over.
The two children were still a little afraid of Su Qingmei, and moved in front of Dabao and Xiaobao: "Brother, you eat." They took the sugar twisted dough and were about to put it into Dabao and Xiaobao's mouths.
Dabao pursed his lips. Xiaobao glanced at their bowls and swallowed his saliva: "It smells so good, but we can't eat it now. We will eat it after we wash our faces. Sisters, you eat first."
"Xiaobao, Qingzao is not my sister." Qingxing corrected him.
Humph, she is my sister. Xiaobao imitated his brother and pursed his lips. He looked at his mother again, crossed his hands, and closed his eyes.
She is my sister. Humph.
After lying for a stick of incense, the four of them went to wash their faces together.
"Sister, it feels so much smoother!" Qingxing was a little surprised.
Su Qingmei wiped her face, went back to the room and looked in the mirror. It worked! The effect was very obvious. The blackheads and oil were all absorbed, and the face was very refreshed.
When she left the room, Qingxing came over and was a little excited: "Sister, this Guanyin soil can really wash your face!"
"Well, it can take away the dirt on your face and clean your skin. When your skin is clean, it will naturally be white and flawless."
"My queen, has Xiaobao become more beautiful?" Xiaobao hugged her thighs.
Although Dabao didn't ask, he also looked up at his mother. He also wanted to help his mother do something.
Su Qing'an touched her two sons' white and tender little faces, which were so smooth that you could squeeze out water: "Like peeled eggs, come, mother, take a bite..."
She pretended to bite them, and Dabao and Xiaobao laughed and ran away.
Qingxing was very excited and rubbed her hands: "Sister, can I give it to a few of my friends?"
Qingxing also had several friends in the village who she could talk to.
Su Qing'an also wanted to see everyone's reaction, so she nodded in agreement. Qingxing ran out as soon as she heard it.
