Chereads / Selena's Rebirth Diary / Chapter 8 - Choose Bottles

Chapter 8 - Choose Bottles

The owner of the grocery store, Pedro, just bought a batch of bottles for essential oils and prefume a few days ago. The styles are quite pleasing. Selena looked at these large and small exquisite bottles in front of her and couldn't help but pick them up one by one and look at them intently. 

During the years she lived with the insense seller in her previous life, she knew almost everything about production and sales.Don't underestimate the packaging of perfume essential oil bottles. The more exquisite they are, the more eye-catching they are, and the more people will ask, and sells faster than other things.

Although we all know that the most important thing is whether the perfume or essential oil inside is made of good materials, in fact, it is human nature to love beauty. Just like women, good-looking things are always more popular than ugly ones.

Selena picked up a bottle and looked at it carefully. She had recently used essential oils to care for her hands and face, and now she has begun to see results. The skin on her hands and face is much plumper, whiter and tenderer.

Holding a small bottle in her hand, the turquoise glass bottle, the skin looks more delicate than that bottle, the shop owner Pedro kept looking at Selena's hands and face, thinking in his mind that Jose is so lucky. His daughter is such a beautiful child. She will definitely not be any worse when she grows up. If she attract a rich young master in the future, she will marry into a wealthy family and become a young mistress, and the family will have no worries about food and drink.

Jose did not rush Selena. He just stood patiently beside her. Selena looked at the different styles of bottles one by one. From her perspective, these bottles looked okay from a distance, but upon closer inspection, the workmanship was still a bit rough. Some bottles still had bubbles, and the patterns on the bottles were not exquisite, and the styles were too common. Although porcelain bottles are much better, the price is also much higher.

Although the jade-made bottles had various designs and novel styles, Selena only glanced at them twice and did not take them into consideration because the price of jade bottles was too high and she could not afford such a high-end bottle with the money she currently earned. Of course, jade bottles preserve fragrance the longest. 

The natural floral aroma will slowly penetrate into the jade. Even if the perfume, essential oil or balm in the bottle is used up, it will still remain in the jade bottle for a long time, even if you pick it up and smell it again after a year, the light floral fragrance still can be smelled.

The second is porcelain and glass, especially glass bottles. Compared with jade, it is longer-lasting than disposable containers such as bamboo tubes, and is not as luxurious as porcelain and jade. The price is also affordable, and the natural flower fragrance can also be preserved. It lasts for a long time, is easy to product, and is used by many people. 

Among them, those made of copper and iron are the worst at preserving aroma among several materials. Although they are not easy to break, perfumes and the like can easily react with copper and iron over time. She would rather buy bamboo tube products than copper and iron. 

If she goes by what Selena thinks, buying common styles of glass bottles in grocery stores is not as good as ordering a batch of specially made ones from a glass manufacturer. Not only can you design the style yourself, but the price is cheaper than buying it in a retail store, but consider She didn't have much money at home, so she wasn't allowed to order in large quantities. Even if she bought it now, she could only buy dozens of them at most. In the end, Selena only chose twenty glass bottles and ten porcelain with various flowers painted on them. 

Although Jose was a little surprised as to why his daughter bought so many bottles, he didn't ask any more questions. Pedro, the owner of the grocery store, had previously received two cans of essential oil from Jose and planned to get more goods in the future if the sales were good. 

After all, he put such good essential oil in jade bottles and sold it to some wealthy ladies. The profit could reach hundreds of copper coins, so he was extremely enthusiastic while standing by. Seeing Selena pick out the bottles, he asked the clerk to It was packed and a small jade bottle was generously given as a gift.

Selena paused for a moment and then reached out to take the jade bottle. She smiled and thanked Pedro. She originally wanted to buy a jade bottle for her own use, but even a jade bottle with high quality and fine carvings would cost at least thirty copper coins. 

Thinking of this, Lucio slapped her one hundred copper coins of personal money and cakes on the ground, and she didn't know who picked them up. She felt very heartbroken, and her interest was waning for a while. She didn't expect that Pedro see her staring at the jade bottle, he offered one as a gift.

Selena will naturally not refuse the other party's kindness. Pedro is a businessman, and businessmen will naturally not do business at a loss. He can use such a small jade bottle to please the little girl, thereby winning over her father Jose, and it will be easier to buy essential oils in the future.

Jose picked out some newly purchased daily necessities and gadgets, put away the thirty wrapped small bottles, and then left the grocery store with the bamboo basket. When passing the corner of the street, Selena looked back several times, but there was no pastry, sachet or oil paper on the ground. It had obviously been picked up by someone, and her mood became even lower for a while.

Thinking of Lucio, she couldn't help but feel resentful. Even if he didn't need her help, why would he knock over the pastry bag and let someone else take advantage? She originally wanted to buy a mirror, but now her money lost , she couldn't buy the mirror.

Although her father would buy it for her as soon as she asked, but when she thought about the clothes her mother Maria wore all year round, she didn't want to do it. In the past, the family had no money and could hardly eat. There was no money left to buy cloth to make clothes, so Maria always wore two sets of gray and blue coarse cloth skirts. 

As her grandfather was still alive, her step-grandmother controlled the finances. , all the money at home is spent on herself and her kids, and she only makes two or three sets of clothes for others a year.

Maria is in her thirties. She is naturally good-looking. However, she has been overworked and had a serious illness before, so she is a little haggard. In addition, she often wears gray clothes, which makes her look a little old. 

But during this time After making some money, they can eat much better than before and she goes in a good mood, her ooks bright again. This time it is rare to go to the Beerspa with my father, so why not buy some cloth for mam to make a new skirt.
