Chapter 227: Everything is progressing in an orderly manner
Seeing the stunned expressions of the female workers, Liu Jingyue was very satisfied, secretly delighted: This is exactly the effect I wanted. So she smiled slightly and continued, "Do you have any objections? If not, I will put on Boss Liu's makeup first, and then those skilled sisters I just mentioned will come with me to class!"
Hearing this, not only Yunniang and the others, but also the other female workers revealed eager expressions. After all, who wouldn't want to learn such a superb skill? This is not only a skill to make a living, but also a way to make people beautiful and charming.
Whether they're about to get married or married, women all hope to present their best self through makeup. For unmarried women, it can attract more attention and favor; for married women, it can better capture their husbands' hearts. In short, learning makeup has no downsides.
At this time, a girl named Qing'er mustered up the courage to stand up and boldly asked Liu Jingyue: "Princess, can ordinary female workers like us also learn your makeup skills?"
Liu Jingyue smiled and nodded, agreeing, "Of course, but I must remind you that this is not easy to learn, and each of you has your own tasks to complete. Perhaps after I teach these sisters, you can use your free time to ask them for advice or help with makeup."
The other female workers all nodded in agreement.
Then Liu Jingyue continued, "Oh, right, there are two other groups of sisters. I have already taught my maids the production techniques and the skills of communicating with customers. You can go and learn from them."
As she spoke, she applied the other side of Liu Ruyan's makeup, then packed up her makeup box and said, "Yunniang, Qiqi, and Sister Xiaozhuang, find a suitable spot and I'll teach you."
After some discussion, Yunniang and the others decided to hold the training in the courtyard where Yunniang, Xiaojiu, and Xiaozhuang lived. Liu Ruyan took Shili, Xiaojiu, and Ping'er to the courtyard where she and her two children lived. Junru took Zhishu and the remaining female workers to her own courtyard to begin training.
Several people began teaching the women workers, teaching them makeup techniques, how to make skincare and cosmetics, and how to communicate with customers. The women listened attentively, frequently asking questions, creating a vibrant learning atmosphere. Over time, the course progressed smoothly.
At the same time, Liu Jingyue gave the modification drawings to Shi Jian at the shop and told Shi Jian the details of the renovation. Knowing that she was reliable and that she happened to be going to recruit bricklayers, this difficult task was given to her.
Everything is progressing in an orderly manner. Dugu Jingyao is looking forward to the opening of the store in the future, while Liu Jingyue is looking forward to her future beauty career flourishing in the Tang Dynasty.
After the morning class, Dugu Jingyao, Liu Jingyue, and Xunfeng went to the shop to inspect the renovations. When they entered, they were shocked by what they saw. The shop had been completely transformed, not because it was beautifully renovated, but because it had been completely destroyed, especially on the third floor.
According to Liu Jingyue's design, the original plan was to utilize the space on the third floor, as Liu Ruyan and the female workers already had new accommodations. Liu Jingyue envisioned converting several of the rooms into dressing rooms to meet the needs of customers.
However, since the previous houses were basically shared by two or three people, each room was quite large. It would obviously be a waste if it was used only as a dressing room.
So she decided to ask a mason to see if it was possible to re-divide the house into some smaller rooms without destroying the main structure of the house, so as to make better use of the space and provide customers with a more comfortable makeup environment.
The third floor was a shambles, with broken bricks and tiles everywhere. The original room was completely shattered, with only a few broken walls remaining. Seeing this, Liu Jingyue couldn't help but sigh, "These people are really efficient. They've almost demolished the room so quickly." She was very satisfied with their work efficiency and secretly admired the reliability of Prince Guangping.
At this rate, the initial renovation here will be complete in less than two weeks. By then, as long as my sister can demonstrate her skills once more, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Guangping can find a few skilled carpenters, the entire project will surely be twice as effective with half the effort. Thinking of this, Liu Jingyue was filled with anticipation.
Dugu Jingyao looked at the bricklayers who were busy and sweating even on a not-so-hot spring day, so she ordered Xunfeng to quickly prepare some water, fruits and snacks in case everyone was thirsty and hungry so that they could take a break.
Hearing the princess's concern, the masons all knelt down to express their gratitude. One of them flattered, "The princess is such a kind person, so considerate to us!" The others echoed, "Yes, yes, it's our honor to work for the princess!"
Although they worked very hard, their hearts were filled with joy, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. Dugu Jingyao felt extremely relieved to see them so happy.
She smiled slightly and said gently: "You have worked hard. This is the little help we can provide. If you have any needs or ideas, please feel free to tell us. At noon, if you want to eat something, you can tell this Miss Shijian and she will buy it for you." As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of Shijian.
Everyone expressed their gratitude to Dugu Jingyao, and then saluted Shi Jian. Shi Jian quickly waved his hand and responded, "Don't be so polite, everyone. I'm just following the princess's instructions."
After some pleasantries, seeing that it was getting late, Dugu Jingyao and his group decided to return home. The masons took a short break, drank some water, tasted some fruit, and then began to work again.
Tomorrow is the day when Dugu Xin and Chu Xiaoyi's family will set off, so Dugu Jingyao and the others cannot just take care of their own affairs, but also have to go back home to spend more time with their father.
