Chapter 156 Perfumes and Lotions
Chapter 156 Perfumes and Lotions
With their bountiful purchases, Lezhi and Leting bid farewell to the stall owner and quickly searched for Leyou and the others in the crowd. Fortunately, Qingping and Le Nian were quite tall, and the four of them together were a considerable sight; otherwise, the short Lezhi would have been completely lost.
"Heh, seeing that you two haven't followed for a while, I guessed you were off looking for food again." Le You looked at the large leaf in Le Ting's hand with a knowing expression.
"Hmm, this fruit is quite delicious. We've never seen it before in our tribe." Le Nian didn't care about anything else. When he saw Le Ting raise his hand to offer it to him, he reached out and ate it, doing whatever he wanted.
"Yeah, that stall over there has a lot of fruits we've never seen before, so I bought some. These are samples the stall owner gave me."
Upon hearing Lezhi's explanation, Leyou and Leju exchanged a glance, both understanding that Lezhi had been secretly fed again without realizing it. Who would give a "tasting" portion that would be enough for four or five people?
However, Lezhi is still a cub, so it's normal for him to encounter such things. As long as Lezhi himself isn't frightened, they won't say anything.
Following Lezhi's suggestion, everyone tasted the fruit that Lezhi and Leting had praised highly, but their steps did not stop, and they continued to move forward with the flow of people.
The fruit tasted sweet, but it couldn't compare to its more intense aroma. Lezhi and his group were savoring the fruit's sweet fragrance when they were suddenly drawn in by a scent wafting through the air.
Following the direction of the smell, they saw a stall surrounded by a large crowd, which looked very attractive.
Even Lezhi was curious this time. Seeing Leyou and the others rushing straight to the stall, Lezhi quickly followed. Moreover, because he was relatively small, not many people pushed him. Everyone would make way for him, so Lezhi was the first to squeeze to the front of the stall.
"These are perfume balms that I developed myself, and this one is a perfumed lotion made from plant extracts. I've made several different blends, and you can try the ones over there that you've opened..."
The stall owner was a very beautiful long-tailed tribeswoman. Although her words when introducing the products were a little awkward, you could tell that she was a very generous and easygoing person.
These things in front of him were not unfamiliar to Lezhi. They were perfumes and balms, just called "xx cream xx lotion" in his previous life. It was not surprising that they could make these things, but the key was to ensure that they remained stable and did not deteriorate.
Everyone else only saw the product in front of them, but Lezhi saw the techniques and additives used by the stall owner in the production process. Of course, he was just curious.
Reaching out, I picked up a sample with the lid open, used a small wooden stick to scoop up a little bit and applied it to the back of my hand, rubbing it in with my fingertips. This thing, which the stall owner called a perfume balm, was in no way inferior to the high-end moisturizers that I had used and seen in my previous life.
Putting aside the craftsmanship, the raw materials here are definitely superior to those there, so it's normal that the quality is better.
Watching the balm quickly absorbed by her skin, leaving a faint fragrance, Lezhi nodded and looked up at the stall owner who had turned his gaze towards her at some point.
They exchanged smiles and the stall owner spoke up, "What do you think? If you like it, take a box home. Winter is coming soon. Apply some before and after blowing your skin in the wind, and it won't feel so uncomfortable. I use it myself."
The stall owner spoke to Lezhi in an unusually gentle tone, almost like coaxing a child, but Lezhi could still sense the kindness in it. "Okay, what flavors do you have? I want three boxes of each."
I haven't experienced the winter season in Jormungandr yet, but based on my past life's experience, winters are indeed quite dry, so it's good to prepare in advance. Buy more, get some for Raishu too, and you can also give some as gifts to your friends; these things seem like they'd be very popular.
Taken aback by the young Lezhi's extravagant spending, the stall owner paused for a moment before quickly realizing what was going on. "Okay, three boxes of each flavor, right? And what about the sachet? Would you like some too?"
Scented lotion can be used as perfume or moisturizer, and has a wider range of uses than balm, so Lezhi nodded, "Okay, just like balm, three bottles of each." It's perfect for sending together as a set.
"Okay." Compared to others who choose to buy one or two favorite items, Lezhi's shopping spree attitude was clearly more popular with the stall owners, and her packing up her purchases appeared exceptionally brisk.
Leyou, who finally squeezed next to Lezhi, only heard Lezhi's last sentence before seeing the stall owner start packing up the goods. Leyou guessed that Lezhi had probably taken a liking to the items on the stall again, which made him curious.
"Lezhi, what did you buy? What's this?"
Not only was Leyou curious, but Leju and Leting, who were beside him, also curiously surrounded Lezhi. Le Nian was not interested in these things, but simply stood behind them, helping Qingping to keep the crowd at bay.
I gave my friends a brief explanation of the functions of balm and perfume, and then let them try them out. This novel product immediately caught their attention.
"Hmm, this is more convenient to use than face powder." Leting sprinkled a drop of perfume on her wrist, smelled the lingering scent, and nodded in satisfaction.
“They are two different things. The face powder has its advantages,” Leju replied, though he didn’t slow down his selection process at all.
"Is this a new product developed by the Longtail Clan?" Leyou also picked out a few boxes of her favorite perfume balms, clearly having been successfully persuaded by Lezhi.
"Yes, this is something I just developed, and it's making its debut at this year's trade fair." After packing up everything Lezhi wanted, the stall owner even gave Lezhi a woven rattan basket as a gift.
"Here you go, these are what you wanted. If it's convenient, please come to the back to pay for the supplies." The stall owner gestured to Lezhi and invited him to make the transaction in a more open area behind the stall.
"Okay." Leju and the others were still choosing when Lezhi told them, then walked around the crowd and went into the stall.
After learning the types of supplies Lezhi could provide, the stall owner raised an eyebrow in surprise, then nodded knowingly as if he had just realized something. Once the required supplies were calculated and both parties checked them, the transaction was successfully completed.
Lezhi put the basket into her space. Since the space was expanded last time, she no longer has to worry about not having enough space, so she simply carries her belongings with her. That's why shopping today was so enjoyable.
Watching the stall owner carefully sort and pack away the goods, Lezhi hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and cautiously began, "Um..."
"Hmm, what's wrong?" The stall owner was drawn by Lezhi's voice, and when he saw that Lezhi looked like he had something to say, he stopped what he was doing and asked with a smile.
"I just wanted to ask how long these perfumes and lotions can be stored?" Feeling too embarrassed to ask directly, Lezhi simply changed her question.
"If you leave it unopened in the storage space, it should keep for two years without any problem. Once opened, it's best to use it within one season. I haven't tried keeping it any longer, but I still recommend using it as soon as possible." This is a very common question, and the stall owner was clearly prepared for it.
Two years is not a short time, and according to the stall owner, this conclusion was based on his experiments and was not just empty talk.
So it seems his guess was right; this stall owner really did have something to preserve the perfume.
