S1, Chapter 6 (He got a Way)

Gukk looked at Aunt Park for a moment, then said, "Auntie, don't worry, I have thought of a method."

Aunt Park was surprised, "Do you really have a method? What way? "

Gukk smiled, "Auntie, I know how to put on makeup, and I know how to cover up the scars on Minhwa's face with makeup."

The hope that Aunt Park had just raised was shattered, and the disappointment on her face was visible. "That won't work. We had thought about applying powder to cover the scar, but the normal powder application can't cover it. Her face looked like a ghost. It's even better to not put on makeup. "

According to the original owner's memory, Gukk remembered that the foundation of this era was indeed very poorly worn. It was much easier to meltdown, and it looked terrible. They looked really pale.

However, Gukk's hands were called the scalpels of cosmetics. Many celebrities were willing to spend a lot just to hire him as their personal makeup artist.

Not to mention it's just a small scar, even like Sister IU's face, she can also make it look like Moon Gayeong.*

(A/n: It was a reference from IU, an Internet celebrity/meme, and Moon Gayeong, the highest-paid celebrity in the Forbes Korean Celebrity 100.)

Gukk smiled confidently and said to Aunt Park: "Auntie, my makeup technique is different from ordinary people's technique. I can make Minhwa beautiful. You can't see the scars at all. Auntie, if you believe me, I do it to Minhwa once in advance. If it doesn't turn out well, you won't lose anything at all. "

Aunt Park thought about it too: It's not a big deal to give it a try, and Gukk originally came out from a big family. Maybe he really has a unique technique.

After thinking about it, Aunt Park's heart suddenly became hot, and she immediately nodded. Aunt Park wanted to go back to their house and let Gukk do Minhwa's makeup.

Gukk couldn't laugh or cry. He hurriedly grabbed Aunt Park. "Aunty, we haven't bought anything yet, and I'll have to buy some rouge powder, otherwise how to apply makeup to Minhwa. "

Aunt Park patted his head when she heard it."Right, I forgot about that. Blame your aunt for being too excited. Come on, let's buy it."

After speaking, she took Gukk to a shop, but Gukk found that the shop looked horrible and the powder they sold was too bad. So he can't use it.

So he took Aunt Park to find a cosmetic powder shop that looked relatively high-end.

This powder shop was not small in size, and the decoration also looked good. It seems pretty high-end. Seeing them coming in, the lady boss greeted them personally, and she didn't seem bothered by how they were dressed. This made Gukk have a good impression of this shop.

The Lady Boss was probably in her thirties. She wears a feminine's bun and puts on delicate makeup in this era. She looked very delicate and beautiful.

When the lady boss came to speak to them, Gukk deliberately looked at the makeup on the lady boss's face. It must be a lot more refined than ordinary makeup. However, Gukk still found that the makeup was not natural enough, and the fine quality was evident.

The proprietress must have a better foundation. Otherwise, the effect would not be so good.

The lady boss warmly entertained Gukk and Aunt Park: "What do you want to order? I have everything here in the shop. "

Aunt Park looked at Gukk, and Gukk chuckled at the lady boss, "Lady boss, I want to see some basic makeup, like powder, eyebrow powder, red dye for lips."

The Lady Boss listened to Gukk and opened her hands to lead them. "Come here, I'll show you the products." said the lady boss.

The Lady Boss took Gukk and Aunt Park to the side of the display stand. One by one, she introduced the products and even let them use the trial supplies, making Gukk think that this shop would do well in the future.

Gukk tried the product on his skin, but he didn't find anything that satisfied him. Even after using the best powder, it was not satisfactory in Gukk's opinion. Still, he knew that this was the product's limitation in this period, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Gukk finally chose a box of powder, a box of eyebrow powder, a rouge box, and a balm. Finally, Gukk also took a box of face oil, which was an old version of face cream.

After they bought the things they needed, the amount reached 300 yuan.

Gukk suddenly felt like he was a prodigal wife.

Worried that Taehyung might not have enough money, Gukk quickly took out the money Taehyung gave him and counted it. There was at least 500 yuan. That was a lot. Where did the money come from? He thought that they didn't have money at home.

Gukk felt suspicious. Gukk counted out 300 yuan, gave them to the Lady Boss, and then walked out of the shop.

Aunt Park was also a little frightened by Gukk's big spending; he simply bought a powder, which already cost him 300 wen, which was too expensive.

Gukk knew Aunt Park's doubts and explained patiently: "Auntie, this powder needs to be bought; otherwise, it will not produce good results, and these products are good for the skin."

Aunt Park didn't understand this either, but somehow she thought that Gukk said made sense, so she nodded.

After buying what was necessary, Gukk took Aunt Park to the medicine shop.

Gukk wants to go to the medicine shop because he wants to buy something vital for applying makeup.

In his previous life, there was a team behind him studying pure natural skincare and cosmetics. Among them was a recipe, which was made of natural ingredients. The ingredients inside were all collected from nature. Several components were mixed in a particular proportion and applied to the face. After applying it for a long amount of time, it can make the skin white and elastic. It was used together with the makeup to produce a natural and long-lasting look.

Gukk remembered the raw materials that were used to make it. These things were available no matter what era. They are usually available in any medicine shop.

Gukk first went to a few small medicine shops, but unfortunately, the ingredients were unavailable. Finally, Gukk found a large medicine shop and bought everything he needed.

After buying all the ingredients needed, Gukk spent all the money he had except for the money allocated for the peanut seeds.

Gukk didn't know if Taehyung would blame him when he went back.

Gukk followed Aunt Park to the clothing shop to buy fabric. After the two people bought the items they needed, they noticed that it started to get late, and half the people at the market began to go back.

Aunt Park wanted to take Gukk home. He thought for a while but refused.

Although Taehyung said that he should go back first, Gukk always felt uneasy. He wanted to wait for Taehyung to share what he and Aunt Park talked about.

When Aunt Park heard Gukk wanted to stay and wait for Taehyung, she agreed and told Gukk where he could buy the peanut seeds he needed.

Gukk found the store according to what Aunt Park said. When he finished buying the peanut seed, Taehyung had not come yet, so Gukk stood in the corner of the store and looked at the street. He kept on searching for Taehyung's figure.

Gukk waited a full quarter of an hour before finally seeing Taehyung's figure from a distance.

Taehyung stopped just as he was about to meet him.

It looked like there was something wrong with Taehyung.

Taehyung's left leg was completely unable to walk just as usual, but at that time, he was dragging his left leg completely, and the right leg seemed to be weaker.

When you look at him, you could see how exhausted he was. He looked like he would lose strength at any second.

How could this happen just by riding an ox cart?

Thinking of a certain possibility, Gukk was a little out of breath. He suddenly felt unhappy in his heart.

He lied to Gukk. There was no ox cart at all. He came here from the village just by walking. To think that he was even walking with his disabled legs!

It takes an hour and a half when you ride a cart. How long did Taehyung walk before he arrived?

At that moment, Gukk couldn't help it anymore and quickly ran towards Taehyung, who was standing still because of seeing him.

Gukk's voice was a bit unstable, "Are you sorry because you lied to me? There is no bullock cart at all. You walked to arrive here! "

Taehyung's face was stiff, and he didn't speak for a while.

Not speaking was equivalent to admitting to it.

Gukk slapped Taehyung angrily. His eyes were a little red, "Why didn't you take your body seriously? How can you walk such a long way? Even an ordinary person can't walk that long! "

Taehyung saw that his eyes were red. He suddenly felt lost.

"No, don't cry, don't cry, I'm fine."

Gukk realized that his tears were about to fall. He quickly rubbed his eyes with his sleeves, took a few deep breaths, and calmed himself. He reached out to support Taehyung. He took him to the tea shed on the side of the road to rest.

He asked Taehyung to sit down. Gukk squatted down and gently lifted his left leg trousers. He saw that his whole leg had turned purple, and it was swelling. It was so big that it looked horrifying.

Gukk pursed his lips, he squeezed his knee again, and asked him, "Do you still feel pain in your bones?"

Taehyung shook his head.

Gukk didn't believe it. Without a word, he helped Taehyung up, "Let's go.. let's go to the hospital."

Taehyung hurriedly pulled Gukk, "I don't need to go to the hospital. The doctor here is not good enough. "

Gukk thought, Huh? Are our doctors here in this town not good enough? Does this mean that his legs could still be cured if they were to find other doctors?

"Can someone cure your legs?"

Taehyung hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Well, I was injured on the battlefield, but I came back to see the doctor in the town. The doctor in the town couldn't heal me, but there was a doctor from a medical clinic who said he could cure my legs in the city. "

Taehyung paused when he said this.

Gukk took out what he hadn't said, "Was it too expensive?"

Taehyung was silent for a moment and nodded.

"How much?"

"At least 30 taels."

Gukk felt that making money right now is an urgent problem.

After Taehyung rested for a while, he bought peanut seeds with Gukk's help.

Gukk couldn't let him go back like this again.

At this time, the donkey-cart that came back to the village had already departed. Gukk had no choice but to use other donkey carts. He found that several donkey carts were waiting to pull people on the street.

Gukk turned to Taehyung, "Brother Taehyung, do you have any money?"

Taehyung also saw the donkey cart on the road's side and understood Gukk's meaning, but he paused and shook his head.

The most valuable things in him were all taken by him. Except for the money for keeping seeds, the rest was given to Gukk.

Gukk remembered what he had bought, thought for a while, and was ready to explain to Taehyung now: "Brother Taehyung, I have spent all the money you gave me, and I bought materials needed for makeup."

Gukk showed Taehyung what he bought.

Taehyung didn't say anything and just nodded at him.

Seeing that Taehyung was silent, Gukk explained again, "Brother Taehyung, I didn't buy these for my own use. I wanted to try putting makeup on other people and earn money. "

Taehyung's eyes moved when he heard this. He didn't say what he wanted to ask Gukk and instead asked him to go back: "Let's go back, my legs can do it."

Gukk firmly shook his head, "No!"

After speaking, Gukk suddenly thought of a way.
