Chapter 136: Chapter 137: Skin Care_1 Chapter 136: Chapter 137: Skin Care_1 Nan Feng thought she was going insane, finding herself interested in, and even considering marrying, a mountain man who was so incredibly ugly.
However, this was not entirely surprising.
Nan Feng had grown up in the Special Agent School where she was constantly taught values of courage and self-sacrifice.
They would often be told stories of hero agents who had made significant contributions to the nation.
So, while girls her age were chasing after Korean stars and handso heartthrobs, Nan Feng admired those who are physically strong and potentially able to serve their country in the future.
As she pondered, Nan Feng quickly drifted off to sleep.
…
When she woke up in the afternoon, Nan Feng found herself in a daze.
She hadn’t known what she would do to pass the ti over the next few days, but when she was combing her hair in front of the mirror, she suddenly realized what she wanted to do.
The pustules and pimples on her face had all disappeared, leaving only so bumps, which looked like the aftermath of acne.
Once these bumps were removed, her skin would regain its smoothness.
Previously, Nan Feng had borrowed so beauty books from the town.
She had returned the books, but she had copied down so introductions to beauty care routines.
These included the “Celestial Empress refined Motherwort lotion,” the “Red Jade Ointnt” once used by the Four Beauties, and the “Palace Maid’s Eight Whitening Powder”…
All of these were Chinese dicine formulas.
The “Celestial Empress refined Motherwort lotion” was for washing the face and required black chicken bones.
The production process was bloody and brutal.
It was also costly.
The “Red Jade Ointnt” was relatively simple, only requiring egg whites and cinnabar, but cinnabar contains a high amount of rcury.
Although it might be effective in the short term, long-term use would definitely damage the skin.
As for the “Golden Palace Maid’s Powder,” it was just honey and egg white.
It was fine to use it occasionally for skin care, but its dicinal effect for treating skin diseases was far from adequate.
At present, Dajin had skincare products, but these were greatly high in lead content.
Only a few products sold well.
Most of the marketable items were rouge and face powder.
Nan Feng suddenly got excited: Did that an there was a gap in the current skincare market?
No matter the era, Nan Feng strongly believed that won’s money was the easiest to earn, hence, skincare products hold huge potential in the current era!
However, if they were to produce it, it must be effective and not just a gimmick.
She carefully recalled the skincare products she had used in her past life.
Snail essence?
No, that required extraction.
She didn’t have the equipnt or the laboratory for that.
Milk essence?
Forget it, where would she find dairy cows?
After much thought, she decided to pin her hopes on Chinese dicinal herbs.
…
On the morning of the third day of Spring Festival, Nan Feng heard people returning from town saying that the hustle and bustle had returned.
So, she hurriedly went to town.
As expected, the streets were bustling, especially with children who had just received their New Year’s money.
With their New Year’s money, the boys would co to town to buy firecrackers to set off for fun, while the girls would buy snacks and eat while roaming around.
Nan Feng walked through a group of innocent children and went straight into the dical Hall.
Chinese people don’t like to seek dical treatnt during the Spring Festival.
If they are sick, they will try to get treated before New Year’s Eve.
Even if they get sick during the festival, they will bear it as they believe it could bring bad luck for the year.
So, the dical Hall was deserted.
Only the owner was there, tending the shop with a small stove by his side, playing chess by himself.
When Nan Feng entered, he took a good look at her and asked in surprise, “Oh, is that you, Nan Feng?
It’s been a while, I almost didn’t recognize you.
How did you beco so beautiful?
What happened to your pustules?”
