Liu Ben rode his motorcycle happily to You Ying's house.
"I'm coming." You Ying and Liu Ben had agreed to come today, so he opened the door early and stood at the door watching. When Liu Ben came in, he saw him the first time.
This was their first meeting after the start of their conversation, and You Ying felt a little excited but also a little nervous.
Liu Ben nodded, his expression as frank as ever. He held a large bag in his hand and said, "I brought you some pine nuts. They grow on pine trees that bear pine flowers."
You Ying was also surprised to see such large pine nuts in the bag, but there are other large pine nut varieties in the world. He just thought the shape of this pine nut was rather unusual, which was not surprising.
Liu Ben walked in and sat down on the sofa carelessly. You Ying sat next to him and took out pine nuts from the bag and started eating them.
"Is it delicious?" Liu Ben asked.
"It's delicious." You Ying nodded.
Liu Ben was happy: "I knew it would taste good. I worked so hard for it..." He stopped midway and blinked.
You Ying was confused: "You worked so hard?" Isn't this what the research institute is studying? What is Liu Ben working so hard for?
Liu Ben: "I worked so hard to bring this?"
You Ying laughed: "You ask me!" And bringing it here is not such a big deal! Liu Ben is so funny.
"Uh..." Liu Ben touched his nose and racked his brains for a while. Then, as if a light bulb suddenly lit up above his head, he said, "I worked so hard to knock them out! Yes, the pine nuts were still growing on the pine cones when they were delivered to me. I picked them all out with my own hands!"
"That's really hard work," You Ying said, naturally pulling Liu Ben's hand over and examining it in his own. "Are there any blisters?"
Liu Ben's hands were spotless, completely bare. Normally, someone like Liu Ben, who frequently worked in the space, wielding a hoe or sickle, would have calluses. But didn't Liu Ben also have to collect hundreds of acres of water shield every day? Soaking his hands in the water shield pond for hours every day, which was known for its beauty, wouldn't have allowed calluses to form.
There was nothing wrong with Liu Ben's hands except that they were a little bigger and a little darker.
"No, my hand is fine." Liu Ben also took the opportunity to hold You Ying's hand, and the two of them held hands.
You Ying's mouth curled up and he was in a good mood.
Although Liu Ben's agreement to be with him was somewhat baffling and sudden, catching him off guard, he was only confused for one night. After waking up early the next day, You Ying felt refreshed.
What was he struggling about last night? Liu Ben had agreed to give it a try, so let's give it a try. Liu Ben, the one who was confessed to, didn't struggle at all, so why was he struggling as the one who took the initiative?
It took You Ying all his courage to confess directly to Liu Ben. Even after his courage ran out, You Ying remained reserved. If Liu Ben hadn't approached him, he might have felt embarrassed to do so. Fortunately, Liu Ben quickly approached him to chat. After all, Liu Ben had said that You Ying was his only friend, and he was the only one he could talk to.
You Ying was determined to make Liu Ben feel like a partner as they continued to spend time together.
"What are we going to play today?" Liu Ben looked through You Ying's game cards with interest. Many of You Ying's cards were still in their packaging and were brand new.
You Ying looked around and found a game: "Let's play this. I saw someone recommend it online, saying it's... a must-play game for couples, it can make their relationship better." As You Ying spoke, he put his fist to his lips uncomfortably.
"What's this game called... Overcooked? Haha, is it a cooking game? It should be fun for the two of us who can't cook."
Liu Ben had nothing to do today. He had just harvested a lot of agricultural products yesterday and replenished a large amount of inventory, so he had a lot of free time today. As for You Ying... he was always free, so the two of them could play games all day long.
Some people like to stay at home and spend time with their closest people, while others like to go to various banquets, toasting with potential partners and building closer relationships with each other.
"Hey, Mr. You! What have you been busy with recently? How come you have time to come here today?" A man in a suit and tie raised his glass to You Ying's father and greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Huang. My wife and I are here today to accompany my father. Isn't this Mr. Di's birthday? Their old friends have gone upstairs to get together." Father You raised his glass to him and nodded in greeting.
"Oh, right!" Mr. Huang slapped his head. "Look at me, I forgot. Mr. You and Mr. Di have been friends for decades."
"You are a noble man with a lot of past." You's father said with a smile.
"I'm a noble man, but I'm just old," Mr. Huang sighed and shook his head. "As people get older, they tend to forget things and lose their hair."
Mr. Huang often accidentally mentioned his hair loss when chatting with others, and usually he would cover it up awkwardly as soon as he finished speaking. However, when he talked about this today, he suddenly became happy, and his expression when he looked at You's father became softer: "Thank goodness, Mr. You, you have such an amazing daughter!"
"Hmm?" Father You was a little confused. What does your hair loss have to do with my daughter?
"I used to have severe hair loss, and I was completely bald. I tried every remedy and supplement, but nothing worked!" Mr. Huang sighed, then laughed. "But this month, your daughter, Guoguo, launched a scalp massage cream. I heard she personally developed it, and it works like a charm!"
Mr. Huang lowered his head to show Mr. You his healthy head: "Look, my hair has grown so much now!"
You's father was puzzled: "Mr. Huang, don't you always have hair?"
Mr. Huang's eyes flickered awkwardly for a moment: "Well, that's a wig. I've actually been bald for a long time."
"Uh," You's father was also embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Yes, those products are very useful."
"Yes, my wife used the facial mask from the same series, and she was transformed. She looked ten years younger in an instant! She turned from an old woman into a beautiful girl!" Mr. Huang said happily.
The people nearby also heard his words and laughed: "Mr. Huang, please keep your voice down. Don't let your wife hear it."
However, after laughing, they also agreed with what Mr. Huang said: "Indeed, the new series of products launched by Miss You this time are more effective than rare tonics, and the price is not expensive, but the quantity is small." The sky-high price for ordinary people has become "not expensive" to these people.
Upstairs in the same banquet hall, Mr. Di was also talking to Grandpa You about You Guoguo: "I think your granddaughter is great."
"You're dreaming!" Old Master You didn't mince words with him and said bluntly, "Marrying a grandson's wife who's both beautiful and makes money would be a steal for your grandson!"
"Hey! My grandson is also a good person, he can also make money! But he doesn't have much experience yet." Mr. Di said unconvinced.
They were obviously talking about the marriage of their younger generation, but they were not serious about it, just chatting casually.
"What do you think of my grandson?" Grandpa You teased him.
"No way! You have a granddaughter, but I only have one grandson. I can't be with your grandson," Mr. Di waved his hand. "Besides, isn't your grandson with a live streamer? He must be very passionate!"
People like them can receive this kind of news very quickly. Even though it only happens in a small live broadcast room, there are always ways to find out for those who want to know.
Mr. You had always shown indifference to his grandson, leading others to believe he disliked or even loathed You Ying. However, this was all an illusion. Only true friends like Mr. Di knew that Mr. You was faking it, for others to see, primarily for the already elderly Mr. You.
In fact, Mr. You didn't mind much that You Ying liked men.
Mr. You believes that people without ability have to live by relying on others, while people with ability can choose their own lives. The old man only wants to know whether the money you earn is clean and how much it is.
"Hey, just an anchor," Mr. You waved his hand. "I guess he just wants to be interesting for a while. He's just a loser!"
"Don't say that," Mr. Di said with a smile, "Isn't You Ying quite good at business? Look at his companies, which one isn't thriving?"
Mr. You muttered, "Anyway, I don't think I can compare to Guoguo. Look at this series Guoguo has been making. It's only been out for half a month, and who in the industry doesn't know about it? Who doesn't use it? Who isn't following it?"
"That's right. I wonder what kind of talent she found to be able to make such great things..."
"So don't even think about it, grandson."
"Hey my grandson is pretty good too!"
…
"Mrs. You, could you talk to Guoguo and ask them to leave more of those goods for us?" A lady in a burgundy dress said to You Ying's mother.
"Yes, I also want to buy some more and give them to my best friend." Another lady in a blue dress also said quickly.
"You guys, it's enough to just use what you have for yourselves, but you still want to leave some for others. It's really..." Mother You shook her head helplessly.
"Everyone wants this good thing. We're all friends, and since you've asked me for something, I have no choice but to come to you!"
The first wave of You Guoguo's "Natural Miracle" series was given away to people in her and her mother's circle of acquaintances. At first, they were dismissive of the gifts. They were all rich people, and what they used on a daily basis was not imported high-end cosmetics.
You Guoguo's company? Even if it was run by the You family, it's still a Chinese product. Who would use Chinese products?
No one noticed the value of these products at first, but with so many people around, there are bound to be some who are sensitive and think that the products that Youguoguo is giving to everyone to try with such fanfare must be good.
So the first person tried it once, and was amazed by the result. Although they usually took good care of themselves, time still left traces on their faces. No matter how many skin care products they used or how good the beauty salon was, they could not restore their youth.
But the "Natural Miracle" series has done it! After using it for a while, fine lines and age spots disappeared, even the sagging skin on my face was tightened, and my sunken cheeks regained their elasticity.
"It's like a miracle drug!" said the first person who tried it happily.
Later, when I told others about this, everyone knew that what You Guoguo sent was really good stuff, so they started to order it like crazy. All the water shield and kelp that Liu Ben sent every day were made into finished products, and almost one-third of them were given to them, and they still said it was not enough!
You's mother cannot agree on behalf of You Guoguo. It is You Guoguo's own company, and You's mother will not interfere.
But You's mother was also very experienced. She calmed these restless ladies with a few words and finally got some time to relax. She planned to find a place to rest and taste the wine at the banquet.
Just as You's mother found a table to sit down and asked the waiter to pour her some wine, she saw an elderly lady walking towards them, shielding her face with a fan. You's mother could tell she wasn't looking for her because her face was completely blocked, so she couldn't see the road ahead clearly and might bump into something if she wasn't careful.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the lady bumped into the cabinet and fell in front of her with a scream. Before You's mother had time to think about it, she subconsciously stood up and took a few steps forward to support her.
"Thank you... uh, thank you!" The lady stood up again with the help of You's mother and the waiter beside her, but her breathing seemed to be uneven, and there were uncomfortable sounds coming from her nose and throat.
When You's mother saw her, she found that her face was a little red, but not redder than her nose, which was as red as a strawberry.
You's mother and the waiter were at a loss. The waiter wanted to take the old lady to see a doctor first. You's mother was more careful and found that the old woman had been touching her nose with her hand, and her breathing was loud but uneven, as if she was having trouble breathing.
You's mother didn't know what was wrong with the old lady, but when she realized that the old lady's nose was blocked, she subconsciously took out a small bottle of essential oil that she always kept in her handbag, unscrewed the bottle cap, and put it under the old lady's nose.
The old lady felt as if she smelled a fragrance, and then her blocked nose seemed to be flowed by a warm current, the air circulation gradually became easier, and her breathing became smooth and even. Finally, she was surprised to find that her nose was healed!
"What, what is this?" The old woman stared at the essential oil in You Mu's hand with wide eyes.
"This is essential oil. Are you okay?" You's mother asked with concern while stopping the waiter from calling for help.
Everyone who appears here has a certain status, so it’s better not to make any noise if there is nothing to do.
"I'm fine now!" The old woman stared at the essential oil in You's mother's hand, her eyes filled with surprise. "But I've had allergic rhinitis for several years, and there are many allergens, such as pollen, dust, and cotton wool..."
"Today is the best day for my nose. Oh hello, what kind of essential oil are you using?"
————
"What a lousy game!"
You Ying was very angry. He thought the game "Overcooked" was very good at the beginning. The two of them divided the work. You cut the vegetables and I cooked them, and then served them on the table. After the guests finished eating, you collected them and washed them. As the saying goes, a husband and wife work together and work is not tiring. You Ying and Liu Ben communicated more and had more contact while playing such interactive games.
However, things changed afterwards, the game map began to become complicated and distorted, sometimes they even had to cook in hell, and while they were cooking, the kitchen cracked and the floor began to tilt. The two little people in the game had difficulty walking and it became difficult to help each other. This game called "Burnt" was really like its name, it would get burnt at any time!
You can't cooperate with me, and I think you are also clumsy. The more we play, the more anxious and irritable we become, and we almost have a quarrel!
"Huh——" Liu Ben also put down the controller and slumped on the sofa, trying to calm his pounding heart. This game was really too tiring.
"Oh my god." You Ying reopened the post that recommended couples to play this game, only to find that the comments behind it said that the main post was too bad. Couples who played this kind of game would definitely end up quarreling because they could not coordinate and cooperate. Therefore, this game had another bad name on the Internet - Breakup Simulator.
You Ying was speechless. It was all his fault that he didn't finish reading the post.
"Let's play the AR game we played last time. I think that one is fun," Liu Ben suggested.
"Okay." You Ying nodded.
The two put on their equipment, opened the game and entered the game.
This game is a common game between adventurers, villages and monsters. When adventurers come to the village, the villagers will give them many tasks and let them do this and that.
Liu Ben and You Ying play the roles of two such adventurers. Their first task after entering the game is to go outside the village to kill the Wild Boar King. Liu Ben and You Ying run outside the village and work together. You attack and I cover you, and I attack you to recover your health. By reasonably using certain techniques, they solved the Wild Boar King and obtained new equipment rewards.
"This is good, this game is fun." Liu Ben likes this kind of brainless game very much. He got an exaggerated Q-version Viking hat with two big horns on it. It was really big, even bigger than Liu Ben's game image's body. The whole person's appearance in the game was very funny.
You Ying: "Hahaha!" He drew a tortoise shell suit. Although it looked weird when he put it on, it was not as conspicuous as Liu Ben's ox horns.
Liu Ben obviously didn't think it was funny. He even thought his image was great. Look at those horns, so dangerous and powerful.
After killing the Wild Boar King, the two returned to the village and submitted the task to the village chief.
The village chief thanked them profusely and asked them to help deliver the letter and pick up a hunter living in the mountains to attend the meeting.
Liu Ben clicked on the game dialogue option.
Liu Ben: "Why don't you go by yourself?"
Village chief: "I'm busy."
Liu Ben: ...What are you busy with? You just stand at the door all day long and do nothing but order us around.
But there's nothing we can do about it, isn't that how all games are set up?
Liu Ben and You Ying were about to climb a mountain, and the mountain setting was quite interesting. This mission was actually a training mission, requiring the adventurers to constantly swing their arms back and forth like running, and to jump, in order to count. The mission was accepted, and the two of them had no choice but to do it. But playing VR games is the fun of it, and there's no harm in running around, right?
Liu Ben started running in place seriously. You Ying didn't really want to run in place, thinking it was a bit silly, but seeing that Liu Ben obviously liked it, he followed him.
But this mountain is really high. The two of them only encountered monsters twice along the way and stopped to fight. The rest of the time they were running.
Liu Ben was fine; he often farmed and spent countless hours exercising in the space. This simple task of running and waving was easy for him; he could finish it without even taking a breath. But You Ying wasn't so good. He only exercised at home, either on a slow treadmill or playing with the fitness ring, and that wasn't much else, so he didn't get much exercise. Now, with this hopping around, he was a little uncomfortable. Just halfway up the mountain, You Ying sat down on the ground and waved to Liu Ben, signaling for a break.
Liu Ben heard You Ying's heavy breathing and knew that he was tired. He was just about to sit next to You Ying and make a joke when he heard his cell phone ringing.
Liu Ben walked over to the sofa and picked up his phone from the coffee table. It was You Guoguo calling. He figured the conversation was either about supply or You Ying, so he picked up the phone and walked towards You Ying.
You Guoguo: "Hello Liu Ben, are you free now?"
Liu Ben: "Yes, what do you want to talk to me about?"
You Guoguo: "It's like this, there's a lady who wants to buy the essential oil you make, and she can offer a high price."
Liu Ben walked over to You Ying and sat down again, asking, "Sure, did you recommend her?"
You Guoguo: "No, my mother happened to have trouble breathing, so I let her smell your essential oil... Is there anyone next to you?"
It was fine when Liu Ben was standing just now, but as soon as he sat down, You Guoguo heard the panting sound beside him. The sound was quite familiar...
Liu Ben: "Oh, it's You Ying. I'm at his house now. What happened after I smelled the essential oil?"
You Guoguo: "Only his nose is fine...so why is my brother always gasping for breath?" The gasping is quite heavy. Is he feeling unwell somewhere?
Liu Ben: "We were just playing games, and he was just taking a break when you called."
You Guoguo's big, round eyes gradually narrowed. Playing games? What games?
Liu Ben: "I still have a lot of essential oils. If you want, I can bring them to you tomorrow."
You Guoguo: "Okay." After she said that, she tapped the phone, pretended to hang up with a "beep", then held back the sound and cunningly covered the phone's receiver hole.
When Liu Ben heard the sound, he really thought that You Guoguo had hung up the phone. He didn't even look at the screen to verify it, and just put the phone aside on the ground.
Liu Ben looked at You Ying: "How is it? Can you come again?"
You Ying nodded, but still panted and whispered, "Rest for a while."
Liu Ben: "Okay, I'll go first, you hurry up and play the game."
You Guoguo, who was eavesdropping, put her ear close to the phone. Although the phone was put aside, Liu Ben spoke loudly and You Guoguo could still barely hear a little.
"...Can you come again...I'm...coming...you hurry up..."
Ying! What kind of ludicrous words are these!
In a corner where no one could see, You Guoguo widened her shining wolf eyes.
…
the next day.
Liu Ben: "I think your sister is weird."
You Ying: "Hasn't she always been acting weird? What did she do now?"
Liu Ben: "I went to give her some essential oils today, and she asked me mysteriously why we were progressing so quickly."
You Ying: What kind of plane is You Guoguo making again?
You Ying: "Then how did you answer her?"
Liu Ben: "I say, a real man can't procrastinate. If conditions are available, he must act. If conditions are not available, he must create them and act. Don't be afraid of difficulties in life and work. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you get through it, everything will go smoothly."
You Ying: "Although your general principles are rather confusing, they are generally correct."
Liu Ben: "Then she laughed in a very strange way and said she understood, but she didn't say what she understood."
You Ying: "...She's just like that, sometimes normal, sometimes nervous. Don't pay attention to her."
You Guoguo must have thought of something impure, but considering that she had helped bring him and Liu Ben together, he didn't teach her a lesson.
Liu Ben: "Oh, okay then."
You Ying: "When are you going to do your next live broadcast?"
Liu Ben: "Well, I'll tell you when I think of something to broadcast live."
Liu Ben hadn't been livestreaming recently, but his personal space on Youyu was open for comment, so there were often people chatting. People who received raffle prizes posted a lot of pictures and videos, which were then pushed to the front by those behind them. Those who didn't win prizes but saw the items were quite curious. Most people didn't live in this city, and Liu Ben's shop didn't sell anything except Qu Xian's restaurant, so curious people couldn't buy them near their homes or online.
The few people who live nearby can buy it in the store at any time. Seeing some outsiders wanting it in the comments section, I thought about it and started purchasing it on behalf of others.
However, the prices of the items in the store are already high, and the fees they charge for purchasing on behalf of others are not low, so they probably sell very few items. However, the audience in the live broadcast room learned from these local people that the store opened by the anchor does exist, the items sold in the store are indeed high-priced, and the business is very good.
Although locals took photos and videos of Aben's agricultural products store as evidence, the store is far away from them due to the Internet and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Even if a few people claiming to be locals say that the things in the store are good, it is not credible. There are so many internet celebrity products that look very popular on the Internet, such as internet celebrity milk tea, internet celebrity pancakes, internet celebrity glutinous rice cakes... The promotional videos also have a lot of people watching, but in fact, they became popular because they hired a lot of people and spent a lot of money to hire internet celebrities to promote the store.
Only by actually tasting it yourself can you be sure whether it is real or fake.
Even so, with the large audience base of Liu Ben's live broadcast room, there are still tens of thousands of people who strongly express their desire to buy, but do not want to go through purchasing agents or scalpers. Instead, they hope that Liu Ben can open a legitimate online store with a reliable and secure reputation.
Liu Ben did not comment on this. He only did live streaming so that he could sell the agricultural products from the village in the future. He was not really short of money and was not greedy for money. The money he earned now was enough for him to spend, so there was no need to go through all the trouble.
Speaking of Liu Ben's own life, as of today, Liu Ben has been talking to his family about his affair with You Ying for several days. The elders are still a little bit hard to accept this, but they also feel that they don't have much chance of convincing Liu Ben. After persuading him several times, they gave up and just waited and saw if Liu Ben could change himself. Only Liu Yibiao refused to give up and always poked Liu Ben from time to time.
"Tell me the truth, are you attracted by his wealth?" Liu Yibiao crossed his hands on the table and stared at Liu Ben who was peeling pine nuts.
The pine nut shell was very brittle. Liu Ben pressed it lightly with two fingers and the shell cracked. He picked up the pine nut meat inside and handed it to Liu Yibiao: "Grandpa, here."
Liu Yibiao took the pine nuts and kept staring at Liu Ben while eating, waiting for his answer.
Liu Ben curled his lips and said, "Grandpa, do you think I'm that kind of person? I'm not so poor that I can't afford to eat, and I'm not interested in other people's money. I have plenty of money myself!"
Liu Yibiao: "Not necessarily. The richer a person is, the greedier they are. You may be rich, but it depends on who you compare yourself to. What's the point of just comparing yourself to the people in our village? You should compare yourself to You Ying. Do you earn more than his small change?"
Liu Ben: ...
Liu Ben clenched his fist: "I'm just starting out, I'll make more in the future!"
Liu Yibiao disagreed: "I think it's quite difficult. If you want to make more money, the products grown by the research institute may not be enough to meet the demand. Besides, the sales in our store are saturated, so the price won't increase any further."
"Think about it," Liu Yibiao said earnestly, "Have you ever seen those TV shows where the sons of wealthy families want to be with girls from ordinary backgrounds, and the whole family stands in their way to stop them? What does that mean? It means they're not suitable for each other! If You Ying were to be with you, his family would definitely be unhappy, and it would cause him trouble!"
Liu Yibiao didn't know the specific situation of You Ying's family. He only knew that they were rich. He thought You Ying was the kind of rich second-generation who inherited the family business as shown in idol dramas often played on TV. If his family was unhappy, they could take back all the companies and make him a pauper, and he would have no control over anything.
Liu Ben: I don’t agree with that!
Liu Ben used to earn at least tens of millions a month through his hard work farming, selling produce, running a shop, a dairy farm, and a pickled radish factory. He was naturally proud and even a little cocky, but his grandfather shattered his pride.
Liu Ben certainly knew that there was a big difference between him and You Ying. If he was still the son of Gou Qi and the grandson of Gou Wen, nominally speaking, Liu Ben could be considered a child of a wealthy family and his status would match. But Liu Ben disdained to be a child of the Gou family. It was too depressing.
Isn’t it just about becoming a wealthy family?
Liu Ben felt that if he worked harder, he could become rich on his own.
————
"What's going on?" The Liu family members all gathered in front of the computer, the light from the computer screen reflected on their faces. Although they couldn't understand the content, the Liu family members still expressed their expectations.
"The online store is ready," Liu Ben nodded. "I've received the email, and all the products in the store have been registered."
"So we can sell agricultural products online next?" Wang Fengjing asked in surprise. She had never bought anything online before. She only knew that Liu Ben often bought things online. Wang Fengjing had also looked at the interface, but it seemed very complicated. She didn't know how to operate it. Anyway, she could buy what she wanted in the city, so she didn't study it any further.
"Of course we can, but the machine we ordered hasn't arrived yet, and the packaging isn't ready either," said Liu Ben.
Liu Ben had always been dissatisfied when his grandfather said that he seemed to be greedy for others' wealth. He originally liked to enjoy a leisurely life, go to the space to plant the fields for a while every day, prepare the agricultural products, and then sit back and collect the money. How comfortable it was. But after his grandfather said that, he felt that he didn't seem to earn much.
In this case, Liu Ben decided to open up his sales channels as soon as possible instead of sticking to his current achievements. This would allow him to save some wealth for his future where he might be with You Ying, and he could also open a few more factories to make the village more lively and set a good example for the villagers.
After that, Liu Ben quickly began to prepare. He asked Zhou Shanshan to design the online store, design the packaging of agricultural products, register the online store, buy various mechanical equipment, and also look for a good factory in the village to convert it into what he needed.
Liu Ben was busy and driven, and You Ying, a "probationary subject," was very supportive. He didn't care about Liu Ben's status; he liked him as a person, not whether he had money. Seeing Liu Ben's energy, You Ying was naturally pleased and willing to provide some networking support. Many of Liu Ben's machines were custom-made by You Ying, who had introduced him to suitable manufacturers.
"Is everything done here? Then come with me to set up the factory now?" Liu Yibiao asked.
"Okay, let's go." Liu Ben stood up and walked out the door with the Liu family.
"Okay, just put it here." Liu Ben said to the masters who were moving the machines, and arranged for them to put a large machine on one side of the factory, and then move another container.
Other members of the Liu family also helped to carry miscellaneous items. All kinds of bottles and jars with strange shapes were brought in and placed on the spotless tables and cabinets.
"Grandma, let me do this." Liu Ben saw Wang Fengjing holding a large cabinet and hurried to lend a hand.
"I still have plenty of strength."
There is strength in numbers. This factory is more complicated than other factories, with many scattered parts, but it only took a short while for everyone to put them in place.
"This is what I think. We need to recruit a few people here..." Liu Ben walked aside and talked to Liu Yibiao about the specific matters of the factory.
This factory is not used for making food. When Liu Ben said that he wanted to build an essential oil workshop here, the Liu family was a little surprised.
Liu Ben didn't collect many pine flowers at the beginning, so making some essential oil by hand was just a little fun. He didn't attach much importance to the essential oil and just gave it to relatives and friends.
But as the osmanthus pine grew, more and more flowers bloomed on it, and Liu Ben could no longer handle it. But You Guoguo brought good news: the essential oil he made was very popular.
Ever since You Guoguo knew that Liu Ben was dating his brother You Ying, she treated Liu Ben as her own family member. Even though Liu Ben gave her the essential oil and said it was a gift for her, You Guoguo did not want to take advantage of Liu Ben. She created an agent identity for herself and sold the essential oil made by Liu Ben to people in need.
You Guoguo also learned from her mother that Liu Ben's essential oils actually have a relieving effect on rhinitis, bronchitis, and other breathing difficulties. And the effect isn't short-term; whenever you feel shortness of breath or discomfort, just unscrew the bottle cap and take a deep breath through your nostrils. It can maintain a smooth breathing pattern for a long time. It's also said that the fragrance can also help people stay alert, focus more, and avoid distraction or drowsiness.
Hi, in today's society, who among those who lack exercise and a proper work and rest schedule doesn't have some minor problems? These minor problems are everywhere. You Guoguo knows many people who have this kind of trouble, so she can easily find buyers and sell Liu Ben's essential oils at a high price.
When Liu Ben learned that You Guoguo had sold a 20g, 15ml bottle of essential oil for 100,000 yuan, he was shocked. He had never imagined that his simple essential oil could be worth that much. However, it was You Guoguo who convinced him that Liu Ben would open a small essential oil workshop.
Liu Ben was very clear about the process of making essential oils, so he also had a general idea of what kind of machines to buy. He quickly purchased all the necessary equipment. In the future, this essential oil workshop would be used specifically to process the pine flowers that fell from the osmanthus pine trees.
Zhou Shanshan, a designer, was not surprised when she heard that Liu Ben was going to design an online store. After all, she had worked with Liu Ben several times. As a promising young man, it was normal for Liu Ben to open an online store.
It is normal to design packaging for multiple products. As for the fact that the things in Liu Ben's store are very expensive, she has known it for a long time. They are from the same city. This is the first time Zhou Shanshan designed product packaging by herself, so of course she wanted to go to the site to see it. Only then did she realize how expensive the things in Liu Ben's store are, and there are quite a few people buying in the store.

Liu Ben sold rice, vegetables, milk, and pickled radishes, but agricultural products were a staple of his business.

But Zhou Shanshan was his student after all, and despite her limited design skills, he accepted the offer because of their close relationship.
After receiving the package, he realized that it was a bottle of essential oil that was priced at RMB 100,000. Zhou Shanshan’s teacher thought he had misheard and asked several times. It was not until Liu Ben paid a deposit of tens of thousands that he began to design it with some doubts. During the design process, he also asked about Zhou Shanshan’s business dealings with the client and looked at the packaging that Zhou Shanshan had helped design before.
