Apart from these, there were also rhizomes of unknown plants that were less than a foot high, and took up a large area in the field.
There were trees in the distance, some had grown leaves, some had yet to sprout. There was also a patch of faint crimson, which should be sporadic peach blossoms and flower buds that could not be opened.
The patch of pink color was apricot flowers.
The maids were shocked.
What?
Mrs. Shao told them not to reveal anything… about this?
Qiao Xuan did not care what they were thinking. She led them into the middle of the land, where there were rooms on the left and right with the front and back being transparent.
When they took out the key to open the door, Taotao and Yang Xiaoni cheered up. They went to fetch the baskets proficiently.
The two of them had ventilated and cleaned the room yesterday. As long as
there are raw materials, Qiao Xuan could start making lipstick immediately. The two of them waved at Qiao Xuan and went to pick flowers with the maids.
Qiao Xuan was walking around, checking the flowers. She poured her superpower into the flowers so they could grow better and blossom more in a wilder color.
There were many deserted lands in the neighboring area. With six more people added to the labor, they could expand the harvested land and plant more flowers. All of these would be under her charge.
Qiao Xuan felt very pleased.
Working with flowers, surrounded by them was indeed a very pleasant experience!
In addition to the main colors of Chinese roses and ordinary roses, there could be more like peach, apricot and plum flowers. Other types could also be added, such as cannas, Chinese trumpet vine, safflowers, chrysanthemums and so on.
By mixing various colors in different proportions, they could get richer colors and produce lipsticks in more shades.
Apart from flowers, they could also try extracting colors from other objects that were not toxic, which could be applied to the lips. Her space had a lot of area and they could definitely be stored.
Maybe she could even have reclaimed land for planting. That would make everything much easier!
Taotao and Yang Xiaoni told the maids to be careful when picking the flowers, so that the petals would not be destroyed, and the flowers could be maintained in the original way.
They would pick the flowers in full blossom and half blossoms, so the two flowers would not be mixed up.
They needed to work fast, because the flowers had to be cleaned and the petals should be carefully handled. That was a painstaking task.
The peach blossoms and apricot blossoms were not as big as roses. The petals were thick and easy to remove. This was the first time for Taotao and Yang Xiaoni to deal with such small flowers.
But the peach blossoms were delicate and the apricot blossoms were enchanting. They were both very beautiful colors. They must look good when made into lipsticks. The women really looked forward to the result.
The maids nodded and started to pick the flowers.
Lixia could not help but approach Taotao, asking curiously. “Miss, what are we picking these flowers for? Can you tell us about it? We can be more assured if we know what they are going to be used for.”
Since Mrs. Shao took them into the flower field, she had not planned to conceal the secret from them.
That was why Lixia dared to ask.
Upon hearing the question, everyone pricked up their ears. They stopped whatever they were doing and looked at her.
They would know about it sooner or later. Hence, there was no need to conceal it from them.
Taotao smiled. “These flowers are very precious.. They are used to make lipsticks! “
