Chapter 250: Turning Waste into Treasure, Making Blush

It was getting dark. Yu Miaomiao, who was tired from driving all day, just closed her eyes when she heard her husband ask outside the door: "Wife, are you in my third brother's wife's room?"

"Yes, I am here!"

Yu Miaomiao responded in a daze, not wanting to move.

Su Tang also woke up, sat up and asked, "Second brother, why are you back again?"

"Something happened at the factory..."

The two sisters suddenly woke up: "What's the matter?"

"What's wrong?"

Yu Miaomiao quickly put on her clothes and got out of bed.

Maybe she was too tired these days, she felt dizzy the moment her feet touched the ground, and she had to hold on to the edge of the bed.

"Miao?"

"It's getting fierce."

Su Tang was worried that Yu Miaomiao had calmed down and went out to open the door.

"What's going on?"

"The lipsticks in the factory were all sold out, and Fengfen took it upon herself to start production, which ended up being a failure."

Yu Miaomiao's face darkened and she asked, "How much was wasted?"

"Several barrels."

Each barrel costs hundreds of yuan! A few barrels, isn't that just a few hundred yuan of raw materials?

"Wife, come with me and see if we can save it!" Mu Jingyun said, "I really feel bad for those materials."

"It's useless if it's wasted. You can earn it back." Yu Miaomiao responded quickly and comforted.

Mu Jingyun was stunned: "Aren't you sad?"

"What's the use of feeling bad? Since it has already happened, we should face the reality. Wasting a few barrels of materials will not make us bankrupt." Su Tang also came out, as calm as Yu Miao.

The two women were so open-minded that Mu Jingyun seemed petty.

He hesitated: "The third brother is also distressed..."

"Where is my second sister?" Su Tang asked.

"I cried anxiously."

“So, she was also very distressed.”

Mu Jingyun nodded.

Mu Fengfen is an impulsive person, but she has never been dissatisfied with her brothers since she was a child.

"Tell her not to give birth impulsively in the future, and let it go this time," said Yu Miaomiao.

Mu Jingyun's heartstrings had been tense, but he slowly relaxed when he saw the calmness of his wife and his third brother's wife.

“People who do big things must be able to withstand wind and rain. One failure is nothing. When the factory becomes a big enterprise, you may encounter more difficult things than this.” Yu Miaomiao said suggestively.

In later generations, the Yu family engaged in business. What kind of monsters and demons had she not seen following her parents?

A production failure is really nothing.

However, the Mu Jingyun brothers were born in an era when people would feel sad if a grain of rice dropped on the ground, so naturally they are not as open-minded as them.

"Wife, what you said to my third brother's wife is true. But, don't you really want to go and take a look?" Mu Jingyun asked.

Yu Miaomiao didn't want to go.

Firstly, she was sleepy, and secondly, she didn't want to put pressure on Mu Fengfen.

I guess Mu Fengfen is still crying now. After being scolded by her brothers, she is still anxiously waiting for her and Su Tang to scold her next.

"Let's go and take a look!" Su Tang said, "If it can be salvaged, that would be great. If not, we can just have a barbecue."

"OK!"

Yu Miaomiao went to change her shoes.

Just as he was about to go out, Shen Yun came back: "Where are you going so late?"

"Mom, let's go to the factory to take a look. Do you want to come with us?" Yu Miaomiao asked.

Shen Yun has lived at home for so long, but he has never been to the factory. Hearing this, he became interested: "Okay, let's go together."

The four of them walked towards the factory with flashlights. Yu Miaomiao held Su Tang's hand for fear that she would fall.

This detail is perfect, Shen Yun pursed his lips and smiled.

Her daughter is not only brave and resourceful, but also meticulous.

When they arrived at the factory, Mu Fengfen quickly admitted her mistake: "Second sister-in-law, third brother's sister-in-law..."

Seeing Shen Yun coming, Mu Fengfen felt even more embarrassed: "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's nothing. Jingyun has already said it." Shen Yun smiled slightly.

Mu Fengfen was stunned and looked up at Yu Miaomiao and Su Tang in disbelief.

The two looked calm and not angry.

“I, I…”

"Go and take a look. If it can be saved, save it. If it can't be saved, forget it. Just take it as a lesson learned," said Yu Miaomiao.

Mu Fengfen was mentally prepared to be scolded, but in the end, she wasn't!

Except for his own brother, everyone was calm and gentle, without any intention of blaming others.

She was a little dazed and whispered, "Second Brother..."

"They said they don't blame you." Mu Jingyun felt complicated.

Because he and the third brother had a good talk with Mu Fengfen!

People from other families are reasonable, but people from my family are unkind...

"Wow..." Mu Fengfen was so moved that she cried even louder.

Mu Jingzhou: "They don't blame you, why are you still crying?"

"Third brother, I feel sad. I might as well let them scold me." Mu Fengfen covered her tears and cried and laughed.

"It's true that wild boars can't eat fine bran." Mu Jingzhou also laughed, "Let's go and take a look together!"

"Um!"

Under the incandescent light, the colors of the barrels of waste are not realistic.

Yu Miaomiao and Su Tang held flashlights and squatted beside the bucket to look carefully.

Yu Miaomiao smeared some material and applied it on the back of her hand: "It's too thin, the proportion of wax is wrong, so it won't take shape. Too much lubricant will make it look oily."

"Then, can it be salvaged?" Mu Fengfen asked in a low voice.

Yu Miaomiao said: "The current color is not right. It is not colorful enough when applied to the mouth. But if I add more pigment, I am afraid it will fail and waste more raw materials."

"Try changing it to blush!" Su Tang said, "It's actually better to use it on your face without showing color."

"Sure." Yu Miaomiao nodded. "Cream blush needs to be formed directly into a mold, and we don't have that now."

"I'll ask Uncle Song tomorrow if I can order the packaging as soon as possible."

“If not, we will provide the drawings and see if we can produce it.”

Semi-paste blush is a new product on the market. One color per box reduces costs and is sold at a low price to attract customers.

There are four barrels of waste materials with different colors, which can be made into blush palettes. One palette has four colors and is sold to customers who like makeup, as well as places such as photo studios that have professional makeup needs.

"Blush? It's the rouge you put on your face, right?" Mu Fengfen asked.

"Yes."

"Can these lipstick wastes be made into rouge?"

Mu Fengfen didn't believe it.

The two brothers of the Mu family also found it unbelievable - how could they apply it on their faces when it was so thin?

"Add pearl powder."

Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao smiled at each other. Today they not only turned waste into treasure, but also started a new project!

After these semi-cream blushes are released, we will start to make pure powder blushes. Then we will make eye shadows, eyebrow powders...we will directly enter the makeup market! It is much easier than making skin care products!

Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou didn't understand.

Mu Fengfen asked: "Pearl powder, is it the powder made from the pearls you wear around your neck?"

"That's right."

“Oh my god, that’s so expensive!”

Pearl necklaces are something that only rich people can afford. For example, in the cafeteria where she used to work, no woman could afford to wear a pearl necklace!

"The pearls used to make necklaces are all good, and there are many inferior pearls that are ground and sold as powder." Su Tang explained, "But we are not near the sea, so we don't produce pearls. We have to find a source of supply."

Looking for supply again?

Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou looked at each other, both feeling troubled.

"Where can I find this?"

"Ask Xu An again?"

Shen Yun, who had been silent, slowly said, "I can find pearl powder."
