Chapter 461 A Letter from Afar
It took two full hours for Mu Lin'er to see herself in the mirror, and a look of amazement flashed across her face.
"Well, it didn't achieve the effect I wanted, but it looks pretty good," she said stubbornly.
Wen Luozhi would have almost believed her if she hadn't seen her staring at the mirror the whole time.
Wu Yao was getting sleepy waiting for Wen Luozhi to go eat, and she secretly pursed her lips when she heard Mu Lin'er say that.
Is this all you're talking about? She's just average-looking. Do you expect me to make her look like a flower?
However, what pleased her this time was that Mu Lin'er waved her sleeve and bought two sets of the things Wen Luozhi had just used on her face.
She had one set packed and sent to the Mu residence, and the other set was kept here for her own use.
"Put your things away for me. I'll come to your shop for a makeup session whenever I feel like it."
Wen Luozhi naturally had no objection, and with a quick glance, she introduced her to other cosmetics.
Because the makeup Mu Lin'er chose was relatively light, many of the products hadn't been used yet.
"Miss Mu, our shop has many other nice items. If you're interested, I can have someone demonstrate them for you right here."
As she spoke, she snapped her fingers, and a young woman emerged from the lounge behind the screen, carrying several plates of delicate pastries.
Mu Lin'er figured there was nothing wrong with going back, and sitting for a while wouldn't hurt, so she readily agreed, "Then this young lady will take some time to look around."
Wen Luozhi told Wu Yao to wash her face. After the stuff on her face was gone, Wu Yao's skin was still as smooth as a peeled egg.
Because she had just washed her face and hadn't dried it, her face looked incredibly smooth and delicate, making Mu Lin'er extremely jealous.
She usually pays great attention to taking care of her face, but even after using all sorts of good products, she doesn't necessarily see much improvement.
Seeing how good Wu Yao's skin was, she wanted to ask how she did it, but she was too embarrassed to ask.
Wen Luozhi still did Wu Yao's skincare first, and only then did she start applying makeup.
Mu Lin'er initially watched with some indifference, but gradually became more and more serious, her eyes widening as she watched.
She saw Wen Luozhi put a round object into Wu Yao's eye, and then the eye immediately changed color, becoming bright and beautiful.
Then there's that long, curled eyelash she asked about on the street earlier; apparently, that's how it's glued on.
Wu Yao wore a dark outfit today, so Wen Luozhi gave her a bold makeup look, making her look sophisticated and elegant.
Every feature was exceptional, and the makeup effect was so good that even Wen Luozhi herself couldn't take her eyes off it.
Mu Lin'er, needless to say, was already holding those things in her hands and examining them carefully.
"Indeed, you're quite skilled with your hands." Now she had to admit that this shop and this person were indeed something special.
Wu Yao saw her chance and thought that since she had served her for so long, she should take advantage of her.
She leaned closer and pointed to her face, explaining each product one by one, "Miss Mu, I've always used skincare products from our shop to treat my face..."
Mu Lin'er was intrigued and listened attentively to her story. In the end, she bought a lot of things and even got a membership card.
The accountant went to eat, and when Wen Luozhi went to pay the bill, she found that a bunch of things cost nearly a thousand taels.
She took a deep breath and smilingly presented the extremely prestigious silver membership card with both hands. Mu Lin'er took it and examined it several times. "This one is not bad either."
The group finally left, and Wu Yao closed the door, happily picking up Wen Luozhi and spinning her around, exclaiming, "Fat sheep! Fat sheep!"
Wen Luozhi was so dizzy from being spun around that she patted her shoulder and said, "Put me down, big sister! I'm dizzy from being spun around before I've even fainted from hunger."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yao put her down and then took out her small mirror to look at her own face.
“This makeup looks really good on me, can you teach me how to do it again later?” she said, turning to Wen Luozhi.
When the two returned from their meal, the shop was already quite crowded, and the accountant was struggling to keep up with the workload.
Seeing that this wasn't working, Yan Feng went to find another one, and only then was he able to keep busy.
With more and more people coming in every day, Wen Luozhi felt that the few backup makeup artists she had trained would soon be gone before she could take over.
After waiting for so long, the people finally arrived. When she picked them up, she felt like she had come back to life.
After a day of rest, the makeup artists went straight to work. Since they were paid on a commission basis, they all did their best when customers came. Their attentive service earned them many repeat customers.
Da Ya and the others spent a few days playing in the capital with Wen Muchuan, and they were about to start working on the shop once everything was ready.
After Wen Zijin passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, Wen Ziming had his younger brother change the names of his two daughters: the eldest daughter was named Wen Anning, and the second daughter was named Wen Anzhi.
Wen Luozhi named the dessert shop "An'an Ji" because she planned to give the shop to her two sisters, and she would have no objection if her two little nieces wanted to change the name in the future.
The two sisters became incredibly enthusiastic when they encountered familiar things. After a few days of trial operation, their business was much more successful than their original dessert shop, Miaomiao House.
When the restaurant officially opened, Baiweizhai next door also opened, and as before, the dishes were half price for the first three days.
After more than a month of hard work, the businesses on all sides have stabilized.
After all, everyone in the capital city has a high level of spending, so their daily income is quite considerable.
Just when Wen Luozhi thought she could take a short break, the second batch of Sichuan pepper planted in the Southern Wilderness had already begun to be harvested.
More than two months after returning, Wen Luozhi finally received a letter from Fang Da and his two brothers, which was sent out by someone arranged by Miao Qian.
However, after several transfers, it finally arrived in Shanquan Town. Jiang Shuqian saw that it was for her and then had someone deliver it to the capital, which was truly remarkable.
The first half of the letter was written in crooked handwriting with many typos, clearly written by Fang Da. It simply said that the stall business was still very good, and the people of Linxun Town had built houses and settled down in the desolate town.
The middle section of handwriting was much neater and more pleasing to the eye. It must have been written by Fang Er. It was about the planting area, and everything was going smoothly without any unexpected incidents.
The last paragraph must have been written by Wei Yi. Of the three brothers, his was the least neat, looking like scribbles. It took her a long time to understand it.
"Ha...ha..." Wen Luozhi chuckled dryly, because Wei Yi wrote that he wanted to eat this and that, basically just eating.
She picked up her pen and wrote a reply. She said that Tieyi had already arranged for the person to go to the Southern Wilderness to pick up the things when she returned. She just needed to bring the letter with her when she went.
Fearing that the money she left behind before leaving wouldn't be enough, she put another stack of silver notes into the envelope.
The people going to the Southern Wilderness set off after receiving the letter, expecting the journey to be very lonely.
To their surprise, they found themselves with a bit more popularity, which seemed somewhat different from what others had described.
It was around this time that the other two towns began to learn from the wasteland town.
Miao Qian's horses ran back and forth between the three towns, each trip taking several days. The horses, which were already thin, seemed to get even thinner.
When they arrived, Fang Da still found it somewhat unbelievable that Wen Luozhi had given them a reply.
"Master... you really received it?!" Fang Da opened the letter with trembling hands, but he didn't recognize many of the words, so he asked Fang Er to read them out.
