Chapter 393: One Lipstick for a Sheep

Axi was also very curious, squatting beside her and looking at the little jar of Lipstick, wondering what this thing could be exchanged for. Nan Qinghuan knew they had never seen it, and hurriedly began to introduce it, "Ladies, do you want this item?"

One of the women finally spoke, picking up a Lipstick and looking it over, "I say, Ying's Omu, what is this thing? It looks rather strange."

The woman speaking was an Elder of the Matriarchal Tribe, reputed to be very wealthy.

Of course, this was what Ayina had said.

Naturally, such items are affordable only for women with means.

Therefore, choosing the right customers is crucial.

She hurriedly began the pitch, picking up a Lipstick to model herself; of course, in this Ancient Age there were no mirrors, and the space no longer had Merit Beans, so mirrors could not be bought.

So, to sell this item, she came up with a plan.

She had Axi fetch a basin of water, and then she modeled herself!

"What a discerning lady you are; this is called Lipstick, and applying it to the lips can enchant and kill many men."

"Lipstick? Enchant and kill men?"

The women found that quite amusing, having never heard such a thing before!

"What's the use?"

"Let me show you, and you'll see."

Fortunately she had a sample; in front of the women she gently applied the Lipstick to her own lips, and when she finished, the women were all stunned!

Even Axi was left dumbfounded.

Everyone kept staring at her, and indeed.

This thing called Lipstick is rather… strange!

Nan Qinghuan, though she wore no makeup, was already beautiful, and the Lipstick's color highlighted her skin, making her complexion even fairer; the blazing red lips were strikingly beautiful!

"Qinghuan, you're so beautiful; this Lipstick is truly lovely."

Indeed, the love of beauty transcends dynasties and nations; it's a woman's nature!

"How is it, pretty?"

The women seemed very interested, "Omu, this is actually quite good; Lipstick, our Matriarchal Tribe doesn't have it—how do you trade yours?"

Sure enough, women love beauty; no one can escape it.

Nan Qinghuan smiled, "This item isn't easy to make; it lasts a long time, and applying it each morning guarantees you become great beauties."

"Great beauty?"

That's a fresh term!

"It just means pretty, pretty."

Ancient People had no concept of a beauty, but they understood the notion of 'pretty'!

The woman thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll try as well."

"Come, let me help you apply it; see how the effect looks."

To trade this item, the customer must be satisfied, so letting them try was the right move!

Needn't say more, Nan Qinghuan employed her business tactics and conquered the group of women; when she applied it to that woman's lips, the others grew even more envious.

It seemed the woman before her had suddenly changed, because of the blazing red lips.

"Axiaoyue, you look so good?"

This Ancient woman had dark skin, but the red hue paired with it was very unique.

It was something they had never seen before.

"Pretty? Let me see?"

The woman called Axiaoyue stood by the wooden barrel, looking left and right, and was somewhat stunned.

Her lips turned red; she was already so beautiful? She couldn't help raising her hand to touch her face and grin, "So I'm this beautiful after all; this thing is good, I like it, I want to trade."

Nan Qinghuan smiled at her request to trade, "It looks so good on you, but this item isn't cheap."

Cheap? They didn't understand what 'cheap' meant; Axi, having spent a long time with Nan Qinghuan, naturally grasped her meaning and hurried to explain.

"This Lipstick is pretty, but the things you trade for it aren't trivial; they can't be ordinary…"

Axiaoyue understood Axi's words, smiled proudly, "I have a fine Iron Knife here, will you trade?"

Seeing the Iron Knife, Nan Qinghuan shook her head, "No, I already have an Iron Knife; I don't want it."

"You don't want it, then what do you want?"

Nan Qinghuan smiled, then looked at the flock of Sheep behind her; the women seemed to understand, "You want to trade for our Sheep?"

That displeased Axiaoyue.

Trading such a tiny item for a Sheep? That's far from worthwhile!

"Exactly, one Lipstick for one Sheep. What do you think? I have all my other items; now I want to trade for some Sheep to slaughter for meat in Winter, and I also want to trade for your Silkworm Babies."
