S1, Chapter 18 (His Red Envelope)

On the way back, Gukk and Taehyung picked a basket full of rose flowers and golden flowers from the mountain. Then Gukk found that there was still a large chunk of small chrysanthemums growing in the mountain. Without a thought, he picked up a basket full of small chrysanthemums and went back.

As a result, two different perfume balms can be made, one with a rose scent and the other with a chrysanthemum scent. If he was to make two different scented perfume balms, his customers could have a choice.

As soon as the family of three walked to the door of their house, they saw Soohan looking in through their door.

Gukk hurriedly stepped forward and shouted,

"Sister Soohan, are you here to find me?"

Soohan looked back and saw that it was Gukk, and immediately said. "Sister Gukk, where did you go? When did you come back? I have come to your house twice to look for you. "

Gukk asked Taehyung to open the door. Gukk invited him in and asked, "What's the matter? What's the rush? "

Soohan hadn't waited to sit down before he said his purpose for coming: "It's like this. I went back to my family's house yesterday. My two sisters-in-law liked the two boxes of perfume you gave me, and my two younger sisters saw it and wanted to have one, so I came here to get two more boxes. This was one of the reasons why I came here. The more important thing is, yesterday, I heard from Sister Hyunsik that you put makeup on Sister Minhwa, and the scars on Minhwa's face were covered, not visible at all. The person looked very beautiful, so I just talked about it to my family when I came home. Who knows that my eldest niece wants you to dress her up when she gets married. "

When Gukk heard that this was the case, he said to Soohan: "Sister Soohan, I only have this last box of perfume, but I will make new ones in two days. This time, not only the scent of rose flowers but also the scent of the chrysanthemums. If you are not in a hurry, you can come and get them after two days from now. "

Soohan heard this and nodded, "I am not in a hurry. The urgent thing is my niece needs a beautician. She is going to get married in a few days and is about to invite a beautician. Who knew that, when I talked about you yesterday, she decided to find you to dress her up, and she begged me to invite you. "

After saying this, he sighed and prepared to tell the truth directly: "The reason why my niece wanted to invite you was because she heard that you can make a bride look beautiful, which made her hopeful. My niece's face looks okay, but she has a square face, and she can't look good with anything. She loves beauty very much, and she often cries because of her square face, but she was born just like that, what can be done. "

Gukk understood this.

It seems that the eldest niece of Soohan's sister-in-law has a natural square face with prominent mandibles, so it is not good to look at. When the time comes, he can just work on his makeup to make her face look sharp and match it with a suitable hairstyle. This is not a problem at all.

Gukk immediately agreed to Soohan, "Sister-in-law, I agree to dress up your niece. I don't know when she will get married.When do I go there? "

Soohan nodded when he saw Gukk and said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow. I will go here early that morning, so you can come with me. "

Gukk nodded. When the matter was settled, they agreed that Soohan would take the perfume balm tomorrow, and he finally left.

The next day, Taehyung went to Uncle Hwang's house and took back the 30 wooden boxes he had customized. Then Gukk set about making perfume, making fifteen rose-scented perfumes, and making the rest into chrysanthemum scented perfume.

After making it cool down all night, the thirty boxes of balm were ready. The pink rose-scented perfume, the chrysanthemum scented perfume looked very cute.

Seeing two kinds of balm, Soohan smelled the two perfumes and looked at Gukk. He couldn't help but nod to Gukk again and again, and finally took out 16 wen and bought two boxes of rose-scented perfume and two boxes of chrysanthemum perfume. Then he made an appointment with Gukk to go to his mother's house tomorrow morning, and after that, it was all agreed upon, he went back.

The next day, when the sun hadn't risen, Soohan came to Gukk's house with a baggage. At the time he arrived, Gukk was ready to go. He took the makeup kit and followed Soohan.

Soohan's family was their neighboring village, neither close nor far away. After walking for more than half an hour, it was already dawn when the two arrived.

Seeing Gukk, who was following Soohan, the Ji family knew that this was a very skilled beautician. They were very polite to Gukk. Before Gukk came in, they greeted him and said, "Thank you. It was hard for you. "

Gukk smiled and greeted everyone and entered the newlyweds' house.

There were no male relatives in the room. Only the bride's sisters-in-law and a few aunts were there. After he greeted everyone one by one, Gukk looked at the bride's face.

Indeed, as Soohan said, the bride's face is relatively square, with a prominent mandible. Apart from the dark skin, the other facial features are not ugly. It is completely beautiful and not difficult to paint on.

Gukk asked the bride's mother, "Sister-in-law, is it okay to put on makeup now?"

Soohan's sister-in-law nodded, "Yes, it's okay to start."

" The groom's house will be around one hour away. " Gukk nodded and bring a small box with makeup tools was placed on the table, and the bride was allowed to sit in a bright place by the window and put his hands on makeup.

The critical point of the bride's makeup is the concealment of the skin and face shape. Gukk focused on the bride's face before putting on makeup.

Everyone next to her observed Gukk's movements. Gukk was not afraid of letting everyone see. He was not afraid of others seeing his makeup techniques and learning how to do them. However, in modern times, many people followed him. They studied behind him, but basically, no one can reach his level.

Gukk has a different technique for applying makeup, and it also has different effects. Among them, personal talent is also vital here. In this era, it is more difficult for people to understand his makeup philosophy. They can't remember his complicated methods.

It was indeed the case. Some of the people watching next to him were deliberately trying to see how to put on makeup, whether it was hard to learn. They still kept on watching the whole process, their eyes were blurred, their heart was confused, and finally thought about that, what they don't know, they'll just have to memorize it, but they can't understand why he has to pat and wipe it so much. Now, the thoughts of learning have all gone.

Gukk spent half an hour finishing the bride's makeup, then removed the tie from the bride's hair and re-combed it into an ingot bun. He deliberately left a strand of hair on both sides of the front, hanging down from the forehead. The two strands of hair were curled and hung down up to her jaw, just covering the lower jaw, and the top of the hair was piled high; the whole person's face looked like a goose egg from the front.

Initially, the Ji family heard Soohan come back and talk about Gukk's incredible makeup skills. Still, no one knows if it is the truth or not. Some people think that there is no such thing as ugly people turning beautiful. Ugly people will stay ugly. Will they not be ugly if you put on makeup? Many people don't believe in this, but the bride can't bear to accept it, so she asks someone to do her makeup. So what the Ji family thinks is, anyway, they have to ask for a dressing lady. Anyone can do it. If it makes the bride feel better, so be it. That's why they agreed to invite Gukk.

When Gukk came, they saw that he was relatively young and didn't come from a powder shop. Their disbelief was even worse, but no one showed it.

But at this meeting, seeing the bride's face, the Ji family was completely ashamed of their previous doubts.

This little lady was really amazing. This makeup skill was like a magical skill. If everyone was watching from the beginning to the end, they would have doubted whether the bride was their neice (or daughter).

They saw that the square face that gave them a headache was gone. It looked like an oval face. The skin was also white and tender, like a peeled egg and the hair, they don't know. It just looked like a fairy. It really looked good everywhere; saying that she's just a beautiful lady would be too humble.

The bride herself took a mirror and looked at herself and then she fell in love with the person in the mirror. She didn't get tired of looking at it. She held the mirror and didn't let go. At first, everyone could understand. Later, she looked like she was crazy. Everyone knew if they should laugh or cry. The daughter (niece) in their family looks beautiful, and now she has finally realized her wish.

After putting on the makeup for the bride, Gukk's task was completed. Originally, the Ji family wanted to keep her for dinner, but the people at the dinner table did not know Gukk, and Gukk didn't want to eat there, so he said hello to the master of the family and went straight home.

Before Gukk left, the Ji family gave Gukk a red envelope containing 15 wen.

Gukk stuffed the first makeup money he earned into his purse and walked home the same way.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour at the intersection, Gukk saw Taehyung sitting on the side of the road waiting for him. Taehyung saw him coming and stood up with a smile.

Gukk was surprised, "Why did you come here?"

"It takes more than half an hour to walk. Today Soohan had to help his family's house. There must be no time to come back with you. I'm worried that you would walk the road alone, so I came here to walk with you. "

"Then how do you know when I will be back? When did you arrive here? "

Gukk saw that his face was red. It seemed that he had just arrived, so he couldn't help asking.

Taehyung smiled, "I guessed that you should be back after lunch, so I came here half an hour earlier. Have you eaten it yet? "

‘Brother Taehyung dragged his lame leg just to pick me up. He even waited for so long.’ Gukk thought.

An indescribable warm current flowed into Gukk's heart. He blinked and said with a smile, "Then let's go."

Taehyung said. "Hm." and we went back together.

Seeing Taehyung limping leg, Gukk thought in his heart that if they had a donkey cart, he could drive people with his donkey cart. When he has a business to go to, he can also pull him to do his business and then take him home. He didn't need to walk anymore.

At that moment, Gukk had a strong desire to purchase a donkey cart.
