Xu Lai asked him to put the bracelet on her wrist, shook it, and said, "Does it look good?"
Zhao Qingyun said gently, "You look good no matter what."
Xu Lai couldn't help but poke his cheek, "Stop being so glib. It feels like you've been possessed."
Zhao Qingyun: ...If he ever believes anything in that book again, he's a dog.
She stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower. You can go back now."
Zhao Qingyun didn't leave. "I'll wait for you."
Xu Lai pushed him away: "Stop messing around. I have important things to do tonight. I'm going to see if that tea seed powder can clean my hair."
Zhao Qingyun turned to her and said, "That's perfect. Your hair is too long, and it's hard to wash and clean. You can use my hair for free."
Xu Lai thought for a moment, resting her chin on her hand, "Okay, then change your clothes before you come in, otherwise you'll get them wet."
Zhao Qingyun took off her shirt immediately, saying, "It's okay, this way I won't get my clothes wet."
Xu Lai didn't have time to adjust the water temperature before pouring it directly over Zhao Qingyun's head. Zhao Qingyun quickly stepped back, then looked up, wiped the water off his face, and said with amusement, "Xu Lai, are you trying to freeze me to death?"
Xu Lai couldn't help but laugh, "Sorry, I forgot that this water heater takes a while to produce hot water."
She felt the water temperature and, finding it suitable, pressed his head down, saying, "Hurry up, or you'll say the water temperature isn't right again."
Zhao Qingyun stumbled as she pulled him, and only managed to steady himself by leaning against the wall.
After wetting his hair, Xu Lai poured the powder directly onto his head and rubbed it for two minutes, producing only a little bit of foam.
She was puzzled. "That's not right. The videos I watched all had bubbles, and quite a lot of them. What's going on?"
Xu Lai turned on the tap and rinsed his hair, but some powder stuck to his hair and couldn't be washed off.
She dried her hands, went outside to get her phone, and watched the video she had seen before again. "Oh, so that's how it is."
She went back to the bathroom, took out a washbasin, poured in the powder, dissolved it, stirred it a few times, and foam appeared.
Zhao Qingyun thought it was over, but then Xu Lai forced him to wash his hair again, and his cervical spine felt like it was going to break.
After washing and rinsing him clean, she took a towel to dry him off. This was prepared by Zhao Qingyun himself. Since the two of them got together, he would come over to sleep every few days. It was troublesome to bring his personal items all the time, so he simply prepared a set here.
Zhao Qingyun sat in the chair as Xu Lai dried his hair. His hair was in good condition, soft and fluffy after washing, making him look like a male college student. Xu Lai couldn't help but touch it several times.
She turned off the hairdryer and said, "Zhao Qingyun, I remember your thirtieth birthday is coming up soon, right? It feels like you're turning twenty less than thirty."
Zhao Qingyun was praised and couldn't help but cross her legs: "Really? Then you'd better work hard and try to catch up with me."
Xu Lai patted him on the back and said with a smile, "Get lost, you old cow eating young grass, you think you're so great just because I praised you a couple of times."
Zhao Qingyun was speechless. Xu Lai was right; he was almost three years older than her, and there was a generation gap between them.
She asked, "How does it feel after washing? Is it as good as other shampoos?"
Zhao Qingyun pondered for a long time, and Xu Lai, thinking he was about to give a good suggestion, looked at him expectantly.
Zhao Qingyun spoke up: "I think..."
Xu Lai asked urgently, "What do you think?"
"I think it's just so-so." With these words, the atmosphere became awkward, and Xu Lai's smile vanished.
She forced a smile. "But what are we going to do with all that tea seed cake? Should we let them take it home to burn as firewood?"
Seeing her expression, Zhao Qingyun smiled and said, "You're giving up already?"
Xu Lai lay sprawled on the bed: "What else can I do? I'm not a researcher, I don't know how to turn this trash into a treasure."
Zhao Qingyun took out her phone and sent her a WeChat contact. "Add this person, tell her what you need, and she should be able to help you."
Xu Lai's eyes lit up. "Let's make this clear first, I'll talk to her first, don't interfere."
Xu Lai added the contact on WeChat, and the other party quickly accepted, but said, "We'll discuss the details tomorrow. It's quite late now, and I've already finished get off work."
Xu Lai understood. When she was at work, she was happy to talk to her colleagues about projects. As soon as she got off work, she couldn't wait to leave the work group, since that was her time. But she couldn't be as carefree as this person.
She typed: "Okay."
The next morning, Xu Lai approached the researcher and introduced herself: "I am Tang Lin."
Xu Lai shared her idea with Tang Lin, who agreed, saying, "I think your idea is great. Turning tea seed powder into a valuable resource, and I can tell you for sure that tea seed powder is also quite nutritious, healthier than many shampoo ingredients on the market."
She left an address and asked Xu Lai to send the tea seed powder there so she could study it and see what ingredients could be added to make it even better.
As usual, Xu Lai went to the oil mill for a few rounds. Some people were pressing oil, and others were sorting tea seeds.
On the other side is the packaging warehouse, where all products are packaged and then sent to consumers.
After the busy month of December, all the tea seeds will have been pressed for oil by the New Year, and then things will be much more relaxed.
When she arrived at the conference room, she sent a message to Xia Ning and Xu Shen, asking them to come to the conference room.
Xu Lai briefly explained the current situation: "It's November now, and the tea seed oil will soon be finished. We all know that there isn't enough tea seed here, so my plan is to go to other provinces to see if we can buy raw materials and press it ourselves."
Xu Shen nodded: "That's fine too. I have connections in other provinces, I'll handle it."
Xu Lai looked at him with satisfaction: "It still has to be you."
Xia Ning analyzed last month's income and prepared a financial statement. Excluding labor costs, the total income was 500,000.
After discussing the recent situation, the group went about their respective tasks.
When Xu Lai returned home, her grandmother was cooking. She quickly took over, saying, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me to come back? If your leg is uncomfortable, don't move."
Grandma wasn't annoyed. She just said, "I thought you were busy, so I thought I'd make something simple and easy to cook myself."
While cooking, Xu Lai said, "Even if I'm not back, you can still ask Grandpa to cook a couple of dishes."
Grandma exclaimed, "You expect your grandpa to cook? He's not good at it. Don't waste my ingredients."
Xu Lai couldn't help but laugh, "Wasn't Grandpa a cook in the army? He should be a pretty good cook, right?"
Grandma explained, "They were soldiers in Liaoning at the time. It's the north, so they always ate dumplings. He rarely cooked stir-fries."
"How does Grandma know all this so clearly?" Xu Lai asked.
Grandma snorted: "Your grandpa used to say these things to me a lot when we first got together."
