"Young Master Qin, we would like to ask you to help us build a waterwheel.”
"Young Master Qin, the weather is very dry right now and it has been almost a month since it rained. If we don't have waterwheels to irrigate, our harvest this year will definitely be very small.”
The people of the neighboring villages all started to beg Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was not in a hurry to agree. He said."Let me think about it. It's not easy to build a waterwheel.”
Actually, building a waterwheel is very simple. Moreover, Qin Yu currently has 30,000 gold. Building a waterwheel only requires 100 gold. He can easily build many waterwheels.
However, Qin Yu wanted to test these people a little and also let them realize the preciousness of the waterwheel and know how to cherish it.
"Young Master Qin, if we need manpower, we can gather some young adults from each village. In total, we can have two to three hundred people.”The villagers said anxiously.
"Everyone, it's not a matter of manpower, it's a matter of materials. Every set of waterwheels requires 10 pieces of good wood, and I don't have enough wood right now.”Qin Yu said it clearly and logically.
"I see. Young Master Qin, wood is not a problem. We will go back and prepare.”These villagers were all in high spirits.
Then they spread the news to all the villages: Any village that wanted to build a waterwheel to irrigate their farmland had to prepare 10 good trees first.
Of course, Qin Yu does not need good wood to build the waterwheel. However, he remembers that the Yue Country has a lot of wood. Therefore, he can collect more and store them up. They will be of great use in the future.
……
After breakfast, Xi Shi took a bucket of clothes and went to the stream to wash the gauze.
Qin Yu had nothing to do, so he went to the stream with her.
He could play with Xi Shi and listen to her sing.
Naturally, the intimacy between Qin Yu and Xi Shi rose to 40.
"My long-cherished master, congratulations on increasing your intimacy with Xi Shi to 40. Your strategy success rate has increased to 40%, and you have unlocked Shang Hao Level 4. You can choose a production process as a reward.”
"Please choose one of the following production processes.”
" Option 1: Wine brewing technique.
Option 2: Women's makeup.
Option 3: Embroidery."
Qin Yu thinks for a moment and immediately rejects the idea of embroidery. This has existed since the Eastern Shun period. Although the embroidery of the Spring and Autumn period is not as good as the Shu embroidery, Xiang embroidery, etc. of the later generations, it is not that ugly. There is no need to engage in embroidery in this period.
As for the first option, brewing wine was definitely something that existed during the Spring and Autumn Period. However, the concentration was not as high as in the later era, and the taste might not be good enough.
Therefore, he could consider choosing this wine-making process.
The female makeup craft of the second option was the craft of women's makeup, not the craft of women's clothing.
In the pre-Qin period, women's cosmetics mainly included powder, Dai, fat, and fragrance.
Powder was applied to the face to brighten it. Most of the raw materials were ground rice flour, which was relatively simple.
Dai was used to draw eyebrows. Commoners mostly used charred thin willow branches as Dai to draw eyebrows.
Lips were divided into mouth fat and face fat. Mouth fat was used to touch the lips, and face fat was used to apply blush. Both were made of cinnabar.
Fragrance, a fragrant oil used to moisten hair. It was made from the juice of flowers and plants.
Among them, especially in powder, Dai, and fat, the materials used in the Spring and Autumn Period were not as good as those used in later generations.
Qin Yu felt that there was a market for women's makeup during the Spring and Autumn Period!
Moreover, he had the Beauty Map System. To make a beauty even more beautiful, it would definitely be inseparable from the makeup skills of women. It was simply a match made in heaven.
After careful consideration, Qin Yu chose option 2: Women's makeup craftsmanship.
"Great Master, congratulations on obtaining the female makeup craft. You have obtained the following female makeup production formula.”
Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder
" Seasoning: Mussel powder for four taels, motherweed for three taels for five taels, plaster for six taels, chalk for eight taels…"

Coincidentally, the four-piece set covered the four aspects of pink, black, fat, and fragrance.
If the effect was good, Qin Yu planned to promote and sell it in the Spring and Autumn Period. After all, this beauty map system was sold by catty. Qin Yu bought it very cheaply, so when he sold it, he could sell more at a lower price. It would definitely cause a sensation among the women who loved beauty.
The next morning, the sky had just brightened.
Xi Shi woke up, got up, dressed, and washed up. Then she sat on the simple dressing table, opened her small dowry, and dressed herself in front of the bronze mirror, preparing to put on light makeup.
The opportunity has come. Qin Yu sits up from the bed.
Then, she took out a box of Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder, a bottle of Shidai, a box of rouge, and a box of Rejoice Fragrance.
Qin Yu bought it from the system by weight and then simply packed it in a box.
"Yi Guang, these powder, Dai, rouge, and fragrance are my secret recipes.”Said Qin Yu.
Xi Shi was a little surprised. She had not expected Qin Yu to give her these private items. She said shyly: "Thank you, Young Master.”
After saying that, Xi Shi first applied the Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder on her face. It was only a light layer. Women in the Spring and Autumn Period preferred light makeup.
Qin Yu is sitting at the side and observing. The Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder has a faint fragrance. It is fragrant but not greasy. When it is thrown on Xi Shi's face, it is also delicate and natural. It does not have the feeling of being pretentious.
After applying the powder, Xi Shi used the rouge made of red and blue flowers to apply blush and touch her lips. The color of red and blue flowers was more natural and elegant than cinnabar, which was more suitable for light makeup.
Then, it was time to draw her eyebrows. Xi Shi no longer used burnt willow branches, but used stone to draw her eyebrows. It was more convenient and simple, and the effect was much better. Her two crescent eyebrows were tender and tender.
After drawing the eyebrows, Qin Yu took the initiative to help. He smeared some cream-like floating fragrance on his hands and then used his fingers to comb Xi Shi's beautiful hair.
At this moment, Xi Shi suddenly stood up and said timidly,"
"Young Master, you can't. There is a difference in status.”
"It's fine. The difference between high and low is determined by people. I don't care so much about it.”Qin Yu let her sit back on the chair and continued to comb her hair.
Xi Shi lowered her head and sat upright on the chair. She was a little shy. This was the first time a man had combed her hair since she was born.
Qin Yu's hands passed through Xi Shi's hair. Her long hair reached her waist, black and soft. It was then moistened with a fragrance, giving off a light fragrance.
He couldn't help but pick up a bunch and sniff it.
"How fragrant!"
Qin Yu immediately felt relaxed and happy. The fragrance was refreshing.
After the makeup, makeup, and fragrance were all complete, Xi Shi's beauty was even more obvious. She was less and less like a country girl. She had the beauty of a fair lady, delicate and moving.
Qin Yu decided to sell this four-piece set of female makeup. He first started to promote it to the girls in Ramie Village.
PS: Reward for evaluation tickets ~ In order to accurately describe the situation of female makeup in the pre-Qin period, Ruhua searched for several hours of information. She couldn't resist the urge to chop her hands. She went to Zhiwang and charged 100 yuan to check the relevant papers. I was really high on writing. Writing a novel was like doing historical research QAQ
