When they got home, José was busy tidying up the store. After the previous owner left, there were some cabinets and stools left, which would be useful to him when he opened a store at home. He was quite surprised to see his wife bring back three people and after hearing Selena's reasons for buying the girl, he didn't say anything.
No wonder Thomas later became butler at Earl's Palace and managed dozens of shops. He was so good at observing people's emotions that he took the initiative to start working as soon as he arrived at the store.
Joseph seemed very satisfied and he thought Selena had made a good purchase. Only 40 silver coins for a young and strong man in his 20s was a very good deal. Selena looked at Thomas with a smile and thought it was a great idea to buy him to earn money for her family.
Eva's mother, Matilda, was just as the broker said. She cleared the debris from the entire yard in no time. Even Eva was so obedient and considerate that she knew to help watch the fire when her mother was cooking. Maria felt more and more satisfied as she watched and felt that today's money was well spent.
At night, after Selena finished bathing, Eva immediately helped wipe the water from her hair with a cotton cloth. The little girl was thin and small in stature, but she was careful when she worked, she was very careful not to break any of Selena's fingers. Selena felt very satisfied, she put on clean clothes and lazily leaned against the window to dry her hair, but her eyes were looking at Eva.
Apparently after getting home and having a full meal she was no longer as scared as before and her steps bouncing steps reflected her cheerful mood, she was probably happy because she no longer had to worry about being separated from her mother, so she worked very quickly. After cleaning the wet spots on the floor, she was busy making Selena's bed.
Seeing the girl dressed in old clothes that didn't fit her and looking so energetic, Selena greeted her with a smile: "Eva, come here..."
Eva heard the young lady calling her and ran quickly. When Maria asked her to follow the lady, she felt a little flattered. She was already ten years old and she knew many things, she had ugly scars on her face that were scary. Because everyone who sees her has panic and disgust in her eyes, she could only do the dirty work in the corner, or hide behind her mother. Someone like her can really serve Miss Selena?
At that moment, she looked at Miss Selena, she was very pretty, with bright eyes, like an angel, she didn't feel disgust when she looked at her and she didn't scold herself when she worked.
Selena took a small bottle of jasmine essential oil from the dresser: "Rub my hands."
After saying that, he taught her to pour some essential oil into her hand, and then Eva began to slowly massage Selena's hands. Although Eva was small, she was very smart, and she knew it as soon as she told he how to do. She sat on the small stool next to the sofa bed and was seriously massaging Selena's hands.
Selena, however, continued to look at her face. After a while, she put her hand on Eva's chin and turned her to the left. "Do not move!" After saying that, she began to look closely at the scars on Eva's face. This movement But Eva was so scared that she did not dare to blink and she sat rigidly without moving.
"How long have you been burned?" Selena asked after looking at him carefully for a while.
"Ha... hallf, more than half a year..." Eva smelled the sweet fragrance of jasmine on Miss Selena's body. Miss Selena's soft fingers dipped in a little essential oil touched her face and pressed on the scar. For a moment, she was so nervous that she stuttered a little when she spoke, it wasn't until Selena saw enough that she let go and let Eva out.
After thinking for a while, Selena lazily got up from the Daybed, put on cloth slippers and sat at the dressing table. She took some balm and applied it on her face and neck. Selena wiped the flaky parts of her hands, feet and knees, areas prone to dry skin. Looking at the white, tender, and extremely delicate skin all over her body that she had carefully nurtured for three years after herrebirth, she was naturally extremely satisfied.
Her adjustments from diet to lifestyle are not in vain. Having a strong body is the best way to beautify her. After she is in good health, her lips show a natural pink color, just like wearing lipstick.
She cast her gaze on her chest and carefully closed it with her hands. After drinking milk for several years, not only had her body become stronger, but her breasts had grown to such a large size that she could not even wrap it all with her hand, which are softer than the fluffiest cake.
Due to her fair complexion, the pink color of her nipples stood out, and adorable. After growing up, she always used the most comfortable and softest underwear made of silk, afraiding accidentally rubbing the sensitive tip. She stretched out herhand and slowly rubbed it with jasmine essential oil for a while, until she felt sleepy that she got up and went to bed.
Selena asked Maria for some money the next day, and then went to the drugstore to buy some expensive scar-removing herbs and a few medicinal pearls. She spent three and a half silver coins. This shows that these high-quality medicinal materials are very expensive for ordinary people and unaffordable.
Selena took the things home, then put two drops of magic water into the water to soak the medicinal materials overnight. The next day, she put the medicinal materials into a small jar and steamed them in water. After three steamings, all the medicinal juice in the medicinal materials was boiled out. Filter out the medicinal residue, then add some beeswax and pearl powder, mix until the paste is cool, and then put it into a small ceramic box. Selena named it to Herbvita repairing ointment. The ointment exuded a faint medicinal smell, but the color was not as good-looking as other ointments, with a slight light yellow color.
After making the ointment, she called Eva who was helping working in the yard, "You use it once every morning and evening. Wash your face before applying the ointment. Apply it to the burned area on your face. Try to apply it evenly.Tell me when the box of ointment is finished."
The little girl held the ceramic box in her hand and was a little stunned when she heard the young lady's words. It took her a while to realize what she was saying.
Although she didn't know the purpose of this ointment, but she vaguely felt that it should be something good for her. She showed it to her mother in the evening and told her mother what Miss Selena said to her. After hearing what happened, Matilda hugged her daughter and cried secretly. Knowing that this might be the ointment made by the miss to treat scars, she will work harder to repay the lady's kindness.
Selena wanted to try the efficacy of the magical spring liquid in her hand. She knew that the spring liquid could increase the fragrance and improve the efficacy of plants, but it was unclear how much the efficacy of the spring liquid would be improved, so she wanted to test it out on Eva's face. Although it had been half a year and the scars had taken shape, and ordinary scar removal creams had no effect, but she didn't know if the scar removal made with magic liquid would have any effect.
With the help of Thomas and Matilda, the store was organized and decorated in two days, and it will be ready to open tomorrow. Selena suggested that Jose could sell mainly high-priced products in her own store, such as some essential oils made of high-quality olive oil, balms, rouge, etc. High-priced products have greater profit margins and higher customer stickiness. Once you have your own stable customer base, you can create an exclusive brand name. Once they build their reputation into the wealthy and powerful class, they don't have to worry about sales.
Because they had collected a lot of dried bouquets in summer, they have enough for this winter. There is only more than half a year left on Pedro's contract. The contract only guarantees not to supply other stores, but it is possible to sell it at home, and their store and Pedro's store target different customer groups, and the stores are quite far apart, so there is no competition.
Because it was a new store, and they didn't have many relatives or friends in the city to increase the store's popularity, there were very few people coming in. This was the case for a newly opened store. Maria was a little anxious, but Jose knew that it was normal for the business to have a difficult start. It needs to slowly accumulate customers, and he has confidence in the product made by Selena.
