Chapter 282 His wife is so wonderful!
Cen Yan registered the names of all the sisters-in-law who had received the materials and explained to them that they should be sent to her in a unified manner.
She planned to first go to the supply and marketing cooperative on Dongming Island to see if they were willing to buy the handmade lipsticks from her sisters-in-law, and then have Tian Qi take a batch of Qi Bai ointment and handmade lipsticks to Lancheng to inquire.
Blue City is a big city with more developed and convenient transportation than Dongming Island. There are many people coming and going. If the sales problem of Seven White Cream and handmade lipstick can be solved, she will have another source of income.
More importantly, she needed to find a market for her handmade lipsticks. Once she succeeded, the women in the entire family compound would be her strongest support, and Political Commissar Lu and the military would also think that she had solved the employment problem for military dependents, and would open doors for her as much as possible in certain situations.
The women from the family gathered the materials and registered the documents; even this simple task kept Cen Yan busy until midnight.
After her sisters-in-law had all left, she remembered that she still had lard rendering in her pot.
She rushed out to clean up the mess, only to find Qi Jingchuan's tall figure standing in the kitchen.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and glanced at her. "Are you done with your work?"
"My lard!" Cen Yan had used up a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, ten catties of meat coupons, and more than twenty yuan in her space for this big piece of lard. If it was ruined and she couldn't make lipstick to sell, she would be heartbroken.
Seeing her rushing over recklessly, Qi Jingchuan quickly dodged, "It's still hot, be careful!"
Upon hearing this, Cen Yan obediently stopped in her tracks.
"Then help me cover the lard and put it in the studio so the rats don't steal it." After saying that, Cen Yan walked to the stove, scooped out the oil that had accumulated at the bottom, covered it with a lid, and put it next to the stove to cook. The oil in the pot sizzled and filled three large basins.
"Qi Jingchuan, how about we have fried pork crackling buns tomorrow? Once they're done, send some over to Grandpa and Grandma. If you want some, I'll knead the dough now and we can make them tomorrow."
Fortunately, Cen Yan doesn't have to work tomorrow. After being busy for several days, Huang Yuchang took pity on her and gave her two days off. You know, working in a health center, getting two full days off is something you wouldn't even dare to dream of!
Qi Jingchuan had no objection; he was fine with whatever they ate. "Take out the free ingredients, and I'll knead the dough later. The water's too cold; I don't want to get frostbite."
"Okay, I'll adjust the ratio of flour to baking powder. Knead it until it's elastic, and we'll make steamed buns tomorrow morning." Cen Yan said as she went into the house.
She was in charge of all the food in the house, and she stored it all in her spatial storage, leaving only a locked empty cabinet outside as a cover.
She came out of the house not long after she entered, carrying a cloth bag filled with flour. She scooped several spoonfuls into the pot and sprinkled in a small packet of baking powder to help the dough ferment, so that the steamed buns would be soft and delicious.
"I've given the lipstick-making method to the women. How are you going to make money now?" Qi Jingchuan came out to knead the dough and suddenly asked, "How about I apply to the organization for some subsidies for you? After all, it's your recipe, so why not just hand it over to the collective?"
Cen Yan was taken aback, then waved her hand, "No need, I have a job, and the formulas I have are not limited to lipsticks, nor do I make money from lipsticks. Look, I'll make fewer lipsticks and mainly focus on this, the Seven White Cream, which you've seen before."
“I deliver them outside, and I can sell a jar for two yuan. It’s the prescription medicine that’s valuable; lip balm isn’t worth much.”
Once you know the ingredients and gradually adjust the proportions, you can figure it out quickly. It doesn't require much technical skill. Unless she makes makeup products like lipsticks and face powders, then she'll have to consider the issue of protecting the formula. For lipsticks now? There's no need.
Qi Jingchuan didn't ask any further questions after hearing what she said.
His wife is so good, so righteous and selfless. Giving away the lipstick formula is nothing to her. He has to carry out his mission well and earn more money for his wife!
Let your wife buy whatever she wants!
Thinking this, Qi Jingchuan's arm muscles suddenly bulged. Cen Yan looked closely and wondered where the man got the motivation to knead the dough to death!
That's good too. Kneading it more will make it more elastic, and the steamed buns will taste better.
