Chapter 138 Self-built bathroom, new business ideas
Second sister-in-law also has ideas?
Mu Jingzhou felt terrible, and sadness surged over him like a tide.
When I feel carsick, I just feel physically uncomfortable but my heart is full of hope for the future.
Now, he was completely sad! All his dreams and happiness were shattered. He was so sad that tears were about to come out of his eyes.
It’s not that he has a poor tolerance. He didn’t shed a tear when his ribs were broken by a wild boar.
But whenever he thought that his wife didn't want him anymore, he couldn't control himself.
"Don't worry, my wife. I will never let you down. When things get better in the future, I will let you stay at home and be my wife, and I will take care of you." Mu Jingyun said with a smile, then raised his head and called out to Mu Jingzhou, "Are you still not feeling the motion sickness? Come and eat!"
How can second brother still laugh?
Mu Jingzhou asked blankly: "Second brother, what are you and second sister-in-law talking about?"
"We said we made money from selling wild boars and wanted to save it. But your second sister-in-law said we should use it to do business. Many places have completely liberalized the rules, and soon we will come here, where everything can be sold."
"But your second sister-in-law said that it's not good to keep a secretary when you become a boss, otherwise she will dump me. My third brother's wife has the same opinion, so third brother, remember not to keep a secretary."
Mu Jingyun looked forward to the future with shining eyes.
Mu Jingzhou was stunned: Aren’t we going to dump them now?
"Hubby, let's eat." Su Tang had already served Mu Jingzhou the meal, smiling as usual.
Mu Jingzhou's heart slowly settled back into his stomach: "Okay, let's eat!"
Mu Jingyun's cooking skills are really not that good, the potato shreds were cut into strips.
After all, it was the man's first time cooking, so Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao not only did not show any disgust, but also praised him a lot.
"My second brother cooks very well, and he uses a lot of oil. The rice is also cooked just right, not too soft or too hard."
"Let's go buy some seasonings tomorrow so that Second Brother can cook. Third Brother, you should learn from him too. Second Brother can't cook every day."
“…”
Mu Jingyun was very happy to be praised, and waved his hand: "No, no, just the third brother can light the fire for me."
"Brother, I can do it, too." Mu Jingzhou raised his hand enthusiastically, "Let's take turns cooking, you cook a day and I cook a day."
Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao looked at each other and smiled secretly.
After cooking for several months at the Mu family, it was finally their turn to eat the ready-made food.
After dinner, I packed up the things I brought from the village.
The houses here are small, and not as convenient for storage as in the village. Everything has to be stored properly.
The rainy season is coming soon, and I’m worried that the humidity on the first floor will ruin the soap.
Finally, Mu Jingzhou and Mu Jingyun used their carpentry skills to make a tiered storage rack from the ground to the ceiling, and placed the soaps on the rack according to their categories, away from the ground.
A simple dog house was also built for Ah Huang in the yard to protect him from wind and rain.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when they finished their work. Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou were full of energy and did not seem tired.
The two men were in their respective rooms, hugging their wives and sighing.
"It's better to sleep with two people. I couldn't sleep alone at home last night."
"With you not here, we don't have a single hot meal to eat when we get home from work."
etc.
A good daughter-in-law is better than anything else.
It’s just that taking a bath here is less convenient than in the village.
First of all, they use tap water here, and they charge according to the amount of water used. Secondly, the room is small, and using a small basin in the house can only be used to simply wipe the body, which is not what Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao want to bathe. At home, they can use a big basin! It doesn't matter how much water is changed.
So they discussed getting a small bathroom. One square meter would be enough, so they could at least take a shower comfortably.
With the money from selling the wild boar, I had more money on hand.
The next day, Mu Jingzhou took the simple drawings drawn by Su Tang to buy materials, and Mu Jingyun connected water pipes and worked on the sewerage at home.
Uncle Song next door saw them busy and asked curiously, "Second brother, what are you doing?"
"Uncle Song, we want to get a small room for taking a shower more conveniently." Mu Jingyun said.
Uncle Song was shocked: "Doing it at home? Don't destroy other people's houses!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Song. It won't happen. When we move out, we can tear it down if the landlord doesn't like it. The main thing is that this way we can take a shower at home."
"Let me see what it looks like."
It doesn’t matter if you don’t watch it, once you see it, you will be moved by the Song family.
Aunt Song said, "Old Song, how about we get one at home? Xiaohua is a grown-up girl now, and it's inconvenient for her to go outside to wash all the time."
"How much does this cost?" Uncle Song asked.
"The work is your own, so it doesn't cost money. The materials cost only thirty or forty."
"Then I'll pay for it, can you help me get one?"
Mu Jingyun smiled.
Working for your neighbors can help you build relationships and get more attention from them.
So, he said, "Of course. But wait until my house is finished, you can take a look first. If you like it, then do it later."
"Okay! I'll help you paint."
Uncle Song rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to help apply waterproof paint on the wooden board.
It is inconvenient and costly to lay bricks in other people's houses. The small bathroom is inside the house, not afraid of wind and sun. So, they use wooden boards to surround it. After applying waterproof paint, a layer of plastic is applied to prevent mold from coming into contact with water.
Years of carpentry experience have made the two brothers very familiar with the job.
Uncle Song is awesome, he helps people out while chatting with them.
When talking about the soap, Uncle Song praised it highly: "It is indeed better than the ones sold in the supply and marketing cooperative. My wife and daughter both love to use your soap now."
"In fact, good products are not afraid of not having a market. If you need help, I can help you find a market."
"My sales channels are very wide, so it's no problem for me to sell you a thousand bars of soap a month."
This huge sales volume represents huge profits, which is something they dare not even think about.
The opportunity is here now, but their production capacity cannot keep up.
My wife and my second sister-in-law can only make 200 to 300 bars of soap each time they work hard. My brothers can work harder and make 500 to 600 bars of soap a day.
But saponification takes about a month, and they don’t have a large enough space to store the soap during the saponification process.
Mu Jingyun suddenly had an idea: It would be nice to have a soap factory where we could produce soap in large quantities!
But he quickly gave up the idea: the current situation was not as good as his wife said, and they did not have enough capital to set up a factory.
Wait a little longer, accumulate money first, and do it when the policy is relaxed!
"We will remember Uncle Song's kindness and come to him for help when we have enough production capacity," said Mu Jingyun.
Uncle Song didn't understand the soap-making process, so he just thought they were young and didn't have enough operational capabilities, so he said, "Okay, I'll keep my word."
When Mu Jingzhou bought the hardware accessories, he also got a big iron bucket.
According to Su Tang, put the bath water in a bucket and place it high, then turn on the switch, and the bath water will flow onto your body, which is convenient and saves water.
Especially when washing your hair, you no longer need to use a bucket to scoop water.
After the small bathroom was finished, Mu Jingyun tried it out first and felt very satisfied. He then asked Uncle Song to come and see it.
Uncle Song was also very satisfied and immediately decided to build a bathroom for his family the next day. He would buy the materials himself and give the brothers four yuan for the work.
How could the neighbors next door have the nerve to charge money? Besides, they still had to rely on Uncle Song to take care of them in the future.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries and finally the Song family accepted a piece of bacon.
When Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao came home from get off work, they were very happy to see that the bathroom had been finished.
"You guys are so capable. You finished it in one day."
"No big deal."
"Why is there still bacon to eat?"
"Uncle Song next door gave it to us. We will build a bathroom for them tomorrow."
Su Tang put down her chopsticks and looked at Yu Miaomiao. This kind of bungalow-style building did not have a separate bathroom. Going to the toilet in a public toilet far away was fine, but taking a shower was also very troublesome.
Employees in the garment factory had bath tickets and could use the factory bathhouse. Those without tickets could either just wash themselves at home or pay to use a bathhouse outside.
Either way, it's not as convenient as washing at home.
It’s so comfortable to change into pajamas directly after taking a shower at night!
Uncle Song’s family is definitely not the only one that has this need!
If this project can be expanded in the living area, Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou will be able to make money!
"Second brother and third brother, why don't you guys professionally repair the bathroom!" Su Tang said with a smile.
Mu Jingyun was stunned and looked at Mu Jingzhou: "What do you think?"
"Sure. This is helping with the work and does not violate the policy. But how many families are willing to repair it?" Mu Jingzhou asked.
Mu Jingyun frowned: "This is indeed a problem. It costs money, wastes water, and takes up space."
"There will always be people who like it. Don't worry, let us go and spread the word."
Su Tang smiled slyly, pulled Yu Miaomiao and went out.
Mu Jingyun understood immediately: "They are going to do propaganda again. Let's go and learn from them."
"I haven't washed the dishes yet..."
"Come back and wash it."
The two brothers followed quietly, wanting to learn Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao's salesmanship.
After they learn it, they can do the work themselves and they won’t have to work hard.
I was in a hurry to go out and didn't even close the door behind the kitchen.
A figure came in with a snakeskin bag...
