“So, you have to be very careful when picking the flowers. The colors would fade, if the petals get crushed.”

“Lipsticks!” Lixia’s eyes widened. She got so astonished that she had no idea what was going on for a moment.

The others were shocked too.

They were trained at the agency before they were sold, so that they could be sold at a good price.

They had heard about the lipsticks, and when the agent talked about this, she spoke highly of them. They still remembered the admiration of the agent.

That was something the n.o.ble ladies in the province loved. It was said that only Young Master Yuezheng had them in his store and that it was sold nowhere else.

The reputation of lipsticks had spread beyond the province.

No one knew where Young Master Yuezheng got the lipsticks from. So… they were from this field of flowers in this small village?

Everyone felt that they were delusional.

“Lipsticks… the ones sold in the province?”

Lixia’s eyes were about to pop out. She still could not believe what she had heard.

dazed.

But the lipsticks… could not be the ones sold in the province.

Taotao was even more surprised when she heard the question. “Anyone else is selling something called lipsticks?”

Lixia. ‘

That was true…

They all gasped.

They ended up being in an amazing mistress’ home!

She was the one who was making the lipsticks. She was going to make a huge fortune. Alos, Young Master Shao was the Cultivated Talent and he was going to partic.i.p.ate in the imperial examination in autumn…

Maybe he was going to become really promising in the official government.

“Miss! We will definitely be careful about the flowers.”

Lixia made a promise in a serious tone. “We will never mention anything about it after we step out of the flower field!”

The other maids brought themselves back and made the promise too.

“Me too!”

“I promise to be careful!”

Taotao blinked her eyes and exchanged a confused look with Yang Xiaoni, not knowing what to say.

“Just… pick the flowers!’

“Okay, Miss!”

The maids were so motivated that they held their breath as if they were about to do something really important.

More than an hour later, they had three baskets of apricots, and one and half baskets of peach flowers. They all went to Qiao Xuan when they were summoned.

They picked off the petals, removed the stamens, then washed and drained the water slightly. Then, they put them into a small hand mill made of white jade. One person put the petals in and the other turned the millstone.

They had four mills, enough for them to work at the same time, which made the process faster.

The red flower pulp slowly flowed out, gathered into a thin stream, and flowed into the next bowl with a big belly and a narrow mouth.

The bowl was covered with a double layer of muslin gauze sewn into a small pocket.

The flower pulp flowed into the small pocket. After grinding, the small pocket was twisted lightly, and the flower juice seeped out. After filtering twice, the clear flower juice could be obtained.

Next, it was Qiao Xuan, Taotao and Yang Xiaoni who would finish the remaining task in the room.

Yang Xiaoni wasn’t that adept. She was just helping Qiao Xuan and Taotao.

After the mold was done, they needed to be left there. There would be 46 pieces made out of this.

When the mold was removed, they would continue with the rest.

The process would take more than two hours, after which they could return home for lunch..
