Chapter 131 A Bit of Blind Trust



Chapter 131 A Bit of Blind Trust

Shen Youyou looked at her mother's face and sighed inwardly, no matter how beautiful a person is, they can't stand the wind and sun all day long.

Her mother's skin is now a whole shade darker than when she first came here, and it looks dull.

"Mom, you really need to use facial cream on your face. I don't have much stuff right now, otherwise I would definitely make you a set of skin care products."

Li Jingshu has also looked at the condition of her skin recently. To be honest, she is also worried, but the conditions are like this now and she really has no choice.

But she would never admit that she was not good-looking, so she deliberately asked, "What's wrong? Do you think I have turned into a yellow-faced woman?"

Shen Youyou chuckled: "That's not the case. At most, you're just a shrew. You have to change back to normal quickly and don't let my father change his mind easily."

After hearing this, Li Jingshu really wanted to beat her daughter, but she was busy applying oil on her face and hands and didn't have time to do so.

Shen Zhiqiu's deliberately low voice came from behind: "Don't talk nonsense, how dare I say that!"

While massaging her own face, Li Jingshu said to Shen Zhiqiu, "You should also apply some of this cream made by your daughter. Look at your face, it's dry and flaky."

Shen Zhiqiu touched his face and indicated that this was possible.

Shen Youyou didn't want to see the two of them being so affectionate, so she took another box of facial cream and turned to go into the activity area. Her grandma and grandpa were both there.

Not only Old Lady Hua and Old Man Shen were curious about the yellow paste she was holding, but basically everyone, both men and women, were curious.

Especially Grandpa Guo who is a doctor.

I heard it can cure frostbite and cracks.

I took a box and started studying it, smelling it for a while, and then applying some on the dry cuts on my hands.

"You need to soak your hands in hot water first, then apply the medicine. It should be healed in ten days or half a month."

Shen Youyou didn't dare to say death, mainly because it was the first time she used this kind of facial cream.

But it's not that I have no confidence, because the three materials used to make the cream have the function of repairing the skin, and the moisturizing effect is even better.

After washing, Grandma Hua took out a spoonful of lard from the bamboo box and rubbed it on her hands. She felt that her hands were indeed not so dry anymore. This was not surprising to her, because even dry and cracked hands could be cured by applying some lard, and someone in the village had tried it before.

The cream this little granddaughter is talking about has a special fragrance.

It smells great the moment you open the box, and it's even better when applied on your hands.

In fact, Mrs. Hua is quite pretty. At least she must have been a beauty when she was young.

The eyes of Shen Youyou's brothers and sisters are more or less like hers.

She really has big eyes, a high nose bridge, a small cherry mouth, and most importantly, she has an oval face.

When she met Old Man Shen, he was liked by her at first sight.

But now, decades later, his forehead is eroded by wind and frost, with three wrinkles, drooping eyelids, and wrinkles on his face.

She even felt that she hadn't looked at herself for a long time.

In this life, everyone is the same, busy with life, working in the fields every day under the scorching sun.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, there is no time to rest. All day long, I either do the cooking or grind the millstones.

I don't know how I didn't pay attention and ended up like this.

Mrs. Hua is holding this simple little bamboo box in her hand, feeling indescribable.

I kept repeating the words in my mind: "She has to be my little granddaughter!"

"Old sister, you know what, this face cream made by Yoyo smells so good!"

A group of old ladies gathered around and felt that the little thing in their hands smelled so good, as if they couldn't get enough of it.

Shen Zhixia's mother-in-law, Old Lady Wang, sniffed and said, "If this is sold in a rouge shop, it should be sold for at least one penny of silver!"

Old Mrs. Fang, who had done some small business, interrupted, "I think it's better than the one sold at the rouge shop for one tael of silver."

Tian Cuifen, the old lady, immediately asked, "Have you ever bought facial oil for one or two taels of silver?"

Old Lady Fang replied: "Look at my old face. Do you think I am worthy of using such expensive facial oil? I went to the county to buy eggs and I took a look.

The female shopkeeper was not willing to pay attention to me. I only knew about the facial oil worth one tael of silver because a rich lady bought it. "

This made everyone curious: "What does the facial oil cost for one tael of silver look like?"

Old Mrs. Fang recalled and told the story: "It was just a small porcelain pot, with a little bit of white paste in it, but it was not as fragrant as the one made by Yoyo, and it was definitely not as good as the one made by Yoyo."

Shen Youyou was listening at the side, and actually thought to herself: Grandma Fang, you are right and wrong. They may have added medicinal herbs to their soup, and the materials must be more expensive than ours, because we didn't spend any money on the materials.

You are right. The effect is definitely not as good as what I did. There might even be lead powder mixed in it. If you use it for a long time, it will not only not help with skin care, but may even cause disfigurement.

But she said nothing and just listened quietly.

But Old Lady Fang spoke again, this time again cursing, cursing the female shopkeeper:

"You bastard, you still look down on me, what's the matter? Now I can use better facial oil than the one in her shop."

Grandma Zhou, the eldest daughter-in-law of Grandpa Shen, was also indignant: "Yes, yes! We don't have to spend any money on this, we can do it, this time she is so pissed off."

A group of old ladies nodded in agreement.

Shen Youyou said in her heart: "Grandmothers, you can't make me angry to death. I don't even know where I am right now, let alone know that we can make face cream."

However, the words of the old ladies really pleased Mrs. Hua.

The old lady was in a good mood at the moment, greeting her sisters. There were ten old ladies in total, rubbing oil on their faces and hands.

The women surrounded Li Jingshu, followed Li Jingshu's steps step by step, and began to apply facial cream on their faces.

Even the men would boil water and use scented soap to wash their faces and hands, wanting to try it out, without being told that it was something for women and that men couldn't use it.

Didn't you see that the third brother used it? Walking past them, there was a scent of pine trees, but it was not greasy at all, and it was very fresh.

They have palm oil, it doesn’t cost any money, and it can also cure frozen hands and cracks. What else do they have to worry about?

Not to mention Shen Youyou's little sisters. Girls are at the age when they love beauty. If they were not forbidden to speak loudly, they would probably cheer.

Even Shen Luming, who didn't like washing his hands, face or taking a bath, would wash himself obediently and let his mother put perfume on his face.

Anyway, the cream made by Shen Youyou has received unanimous praise from everyone as soon as it was tried, even before the effect was seen.

Even she herself felt that everyone had a bit of blind trust in what she did.

Li Jingshu had just finished applying oil to her son and she felt heartbroken just thinking about it. Looking at her daughter and son, their little faces were so thin that there was not much flesh left.

I secretly made up my mind that during the time we stay in the cave, I must make more delicious food to nourish the children.

Even if the ingredients are limited, she will still make something wonderful.

Thinking of this, I thought about the big bones and ribs I have, so why not use the big bones to make some pork ribs and yam soup.

Anyway, it’s still some time before dark, so it’s not too late to stew it now and eat it in the evening.
