Chapter 156 Su Tang is a big liar

Making lipstick is more complicated and delicate than soap. Su Tang explained it for a long time, but Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou didn't learn it.

“Let’s teach you step by step!” Yu Miaomiao was tired of listening.

"Okay! You teach us and we will learn well." Mu Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief.

The theoretical knowledge was so complicated that it made his head buzz.

Mu Jingzhou took notes - although his handwriting was sloppy, he remembered the key points (it’s hard to comment whether he really understood them).

"Wife, how come you and second sister-in-law know everything?" Mu Jingzhou put away his notebook and asked.

Su Tang blinked slyly: "Guess?"

"I can't guess." Mu Jingzhou leaned on the quilt that was folded neatly. "Wife, just tell me where I can learn technology in the countryside! I'll go and learn it later."

That way, he would be no worse than his wife. He could even learn the skills that his wife had not learned yet.

Mu Jingzhou didn't realize that since he got involved in the "early pregnancy reaction", his mind has become more and more narrow-minded.

Su Tang had discovered it a long time ago, but she didn't say it.

The impact of pregnancy on women is not only body deformation, but also mood - the physiology teacher said it is caused by hormonal changes.

She was very lucky that Mu Jingzhou helped her bear the emotional part.

Every time she sees him having morning sickness, she feels so happy!

"daughter in law?"

"I won't tell you!"

Mu Jingzhou: ………

Change the posture and ask again: "Then tell me, what else can you do?"

“I can drive, too.”

Okay, this is another skill that Mu Jingzhou doesn’t know.

Every question is a blow.

"It seems like you and your second sister-in-law are in sync. You can do what she can do. And she can do what you can do, too?"

"Yes! We learned it together."

"But didn't you two meet after you got married? How would you have the time to learn? Besides, you guys are at home every day and I haven't seen you guys go to learn from a master."

"So we kept it a secret!"

Su Tang continued to practice Tai Chi, and the more Mu Jingzhou asked, the more he felt something was wrong.

Forget about other things, but doesn’t it cost money to learn to drive? Don’t you have to go to the driving school every day to practice?

I heard it’s very difficult to learn and takes several months!

It has only been a few months since they met...

"Okay, okay, I admit that we knew each other before we got married." Su Tang giggled, climbed onto the bed, hugged Mu Jingzhou and kissed him.

"No wonder." Mu Jingzhou believed it and walked away in disgust, "Don't touch me."

"You are my husband, who else should I touch if I don't touch you?"

"I have morning sickness! I feel uncomfortable if you touch me."

"!!!"

There is such a reaction? Absolutely.

"Hahaha..." Su Tang laughed heartily. Mu Jingzhou was afraid that she would roll off the bed due to laughing, so he quickly hugged her waist.

After Su Tang had laughed enough, Mu Jingzhou said with mixed feelings: "Wife, teach me what you know in the future, so that I can keep up with you."

"Let's make lipstick first, and then try perfume. In the future society, there will be a huge demand for these daily chemical products." Su Tang said seriously.

I'm pregnant, and my dream of becoming a star has become difficult. Then, I'll become a rich woman!

When I have money, I will invest in a movie for myself!

Who knows, I might become an overnight sensation.

"How do you make that perfume?" Mu Jingzhou quickly got out of bed and took out his notebook.

"It's similar to the process we use to extract rose water, but it's more complicated. We need professional equipment."

“The equipment is expensive?”

"It should be. Let's make the lipstick first, and then ask Uncle Song if we can buy it in the provincial capital. If not, we can get it from other provinces."

Mu Jingzhou was shocked.

If it is something that is not available in the provincial capital, then it will definitely be very expensive.

Can they afford it?

Well, after a roundabout way, we finally come back to poverty. Mu Jingzhou is emo.

"Hubby, have some candy." Su Tang stuffed a piece of fruit candy into his mouth, and became even happier.

Her husband is responsible for morning sickness and mood swings during pregnancy, while she only takes care of eating and being pregnant. Haha, that’s great!

Su Tang in the original drama did not have this treatment, so even if she got pregnant as expected, the plot would still be changed.

The next day, Uncle Song helped to find the lipstick shell.

The shells produced by others are all printed with words or patterns, so we cannot sell them to them.

Either buy an empty shell without any words or patterns, or spend your own money to make a mold and customize it.

The mold making cost is expensive, and it is not cost-effective if you need few shells.

"Let's buy a batch of shells without owners first." Yu Miaomiao pondered, "One hundred, is that okay?"

"Sure. I know their sales people well, and I know it's not easy for young people like you to start a business. I'll sell you one shell for 25 cents."

It’s the price of a bar of rose soap, quite expensive.

But there was no way. Precision craftsmanship was not well developed in those days, and many things that were very cheap in later generations were very expensive at that time.

"Okay, we'll buy it!" Su Tang counted out twenty yuan and gave it to Uncle Song, "Please help me."

"I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Next, you need to prepare the raw materials for lipstick: coconut oil, beeswax, plant color powder, etc.

Since we want to set up a factory to sell a lot of products, it is not cost-effective to make the raw materials by ourselves. Buying in bulk is cheaper and saves time.

But to be honest, Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao didn't know where to buy them. Department stores and shops only sold finished products, not raw materials.

"Do you need any more materials? I can buy them for you." Uncle Song smiled and was as caring as a kind father.

Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao were overjoyed. They opened the bill without hesitation and paid fifty yuan in advance.

"Thank you, Uncle Song. Please pay for the shortfall and I'll make up for it when I come back."

"It's just a small matter!"

Thanks to Uncle Song who is in charge of sales, all the material problems were solved.

Next, it’s time to put it into practice.

The main drawback of the supply and marketing cooperative's lipstick is that there are only a few colors. Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao are planning to mix more colors.

For example, 888, 999, Rotten Tomatoes, maple syrup color, etc. in later generations can definitely lead the forefront of fashion.

However, the family savings were visibly reduced by fifty dollars.

There is still a lot of expenses to pay for renting a house! We can’t wait any longer.

Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou decided to go home and borrow money.

The once bustling Mu family became deserted because four people moved out at once.

In the evening, Li Lan and Mu Jingyuan went for a walk. Old Lady Mu was gossiping with a group of old ladies under a big tree at the entrance of the village.

Old man Mu was the only one at home, sitting alone in the yard smoking his pipe.

"father."

Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou pushed the bicycles into the house - considering that their home was quite far from the county town, and they would have to run around to borrow money after returning home, they brought the bicycles back with them as well.

"What are you doing back here?" Old Man Mu got angry when he saw the two rebellious sons. He stood up suspiciously and glanced behind them. "Oh, you can't make it in the provincial capital anymore? Where are your two wives?"

"I'm at work and don't have time to come back." Mu Jingzhou parked his bicycle and went to the kitchen to scoop some water to drink.

In order to save money, they didn't even bother to buy a new bottle of water when they ran out of water on the road.

"Then why did you come back?"

Old man Mu's heart skipped a beat: the woman didn't come back because she had a stable job, and the sons went home alone... divorced?

"You, you are divorced?" Old man Mu stood up and knocked his pipe against the windowsill.

The man was divorced by the woman, and the eight generations of the Mu family were completely disgraced! Ahhh!
