Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Hong Jujube Tea

Translator: 549690339

Qin Xue served a bowl of chicken soup, “This chicken soup is really good, drink it up everyone, it’ll be good for your health.”

Everyone had a dull complexion due to poverty, resulting in insufficient food and clothing. Each one looked malnourished, their vitality low.

A customer’s reminder today led Qin Xue to realize she needed to nurture these women to be more appealing, making them living billboards for the store.

She grinned rather eerily at the other women, contemplating how she would instruct them on self-care after work. She imagined how they’d enthrall their men at home.

“Qin Xue, why are you grinning at us like that? It’s rather creepy, you know?” asked Fang Xiu, a woman about her age, not bothering to contain herself.

“Hey, hey, hey, Fang Xiu, mind your words – what ‘creepy’? This is clearly a smile of pure innocence, alright.” Qin Xue refused to concede that her grin was frightening.

“Uh, you’re calling that pure innocence? Stop joking, okay? What are you thinking about that makes you grin like that? It’s giving us goosebumps,” Fang Xiu questioned.

The other two women nodded as well, seemingly curious to know the reason behind Qin Xue’s sinister grin.

“Actually it’s nothing much. You know how today while selling clothes I noticed many female customers had a poor complexion.

Some suffer from insufficient blood circulation, others from hormonal imbalance, and still others from dehydration. There are numerous issues. I’ve advised them on self-care, but I haven’t spoken to you three yet.bender

So I was just thinking, how would you three go about it? Once you’re well-groomed and look beautiful, it’ll be up to you, Fang Xiu, whether you want to remain single or remarry.

Xie Jun and Xu Fangzhou will have to stay on guard against other men vying for your attention.

Just the thought of it amuses me – imagine their faces then,” Qin Xue started to laugh again, envisioning the men denying their women the freedom to go out.

“Um, Qin Xue, you’re getting more and more mischievous, saying such audacious things,” Yu Xiu and Fang Hong exchanged glances.

They were both eager to hear about Qin Xue’s skincare advice, but also felt ticklish being teased by her. Which woman wouldn’t want to be charming?

“I’m serious. Your beauty will attract more customers and improve our business. We’ll all be dressed in our store’s clothing, looking stunning.

Don’t you think it’s like a live advertisement? Besides, don’t you want to look beautiful to captivate your men?” Qin Xue finished, covering her mouth to stifle a giggle.

“How do we do this self-care thing then? Will it be expensive?” asked Fang Xiu, who was relatively younger but had been living a laborious life.

Staying with Qin Xue had made her more optimistic, and she increasingly felt that her past life was like serving a prison sentence, damning herself to a confined existence.

Luckily, she encountered Qin Xue and the two elder sisters, genuine souls that accepted her as one of their own. This felt nice.

“It’s not hard, and it doesn’t cost much. You’re young but the hardships have caused nutrient deficiencies which lead to low vitality.

You should drink a mix of red dates and wolfberries sweetened with brown sugar, especially after your periods until your next cycle begins.

You can continue to drink it occasionally even after that. For your face, applying cucumber slices or grinding them into a fine paste mixed with honey as a facial mask should do.

Fang Hong also suffers from low vitality and some deficiencies, probably due to improper care during her confinement period.

I suspect she caught a chill, which is causing health complications. I guess she experiences menstrual cramps each month, without severe symptoms but still enough to prevent her from conceiving her second child.

The lack of effectiveness in previous treatments is probably due to the absence of tailored therapies based on specific conditions.

As for Yu Xiu, her problems are mainly caused by worry, leading to lack of sleep and spots on her skin. If she can replace milk and roses, that would be the best solution.

If not, she could make a face mask out of egg whites and honey.

Everyone can certainly benefit from the red date tea, drink up whenever possible. It’s just that it’s hard to buy without tickets,” Qin Xue completed her lecture in one breath.

Seeing the stunned expressions on the three women’s faces, all gazing at her motionless, Qin Xue waved her hand in front of them, “Hey, snap out of it..”
