Chapter 1041 Dad Beats
After hearing such a soft pleading, Fu Jingyou's heart was already softened.
He nodded slightly and tapped his chin, and Lu Miao's eyes lit up in an instant.
Glancing over the railing, and seeing that they couldn't be seen from below, Lu Miao leaned over and quickly pecked Fu Jingyou on the side of the cheek, then said with a smile and a cute look in his eyes:
"Brother You is so nice~!"
Fu Jingyou was captivated by her gentleness and kindness, and he chuckled softly and was in a good mood.
The two of them were arguing back and forth when Tang Mei, who was standing to the side, craned her neck and suddenly shouted in their direction:
"Xiaobao, Comrade Cheng from Guangzhou is calling. Come down quickly and answer the phone!"
"Ah? Oh!"
Lu Miao was startled, but after recovering from his shock, he quickly stood up pretending to be calm.
"I know, I'll come!"
Fu Jingyou laughed, patted her on the butt, then stood up and went down the terrace.
Lu Miao went into the main hall to answer the phone.
Fu Jingyou picked up Baichuan, who was running and playing in the yard, lifted him up high, and tossed him up and down all the way up the stairs.
The three older children usually take a bath by themselves, but Baichuan, who is a big and strong boy, needs someone to take care of him.
Fu Jingyou was sweating all over, and he washed out the noisy little thing while taking a shower.
This saves the elders from having to go through the trouble later.
In the bathroom, Bai Chuan was standing under the shower head with his bare feet and buttocks, all covered in soap bubbles, pinching his little bird and saying:
"Dad, grandma said this is a bird!"
"Um."
Fu Jingyou's face was indifferent. He took off the shower head and poured it on Baichuan's head.
Putting down the shower head, he scooped up a soybean-sized amount of shampoo and started to spray it on Baichuan's head.
Baichuan stared at his father with his pair of black eyes, and did not show any anger even though his father made him twist his body here and there.
This kid is the most troublesome. Fu Jingyou doesn't think he is holding back a fart for good.
As expected, Baichuan pointed his chubby finger forward and said loudly:
"Daddy has a bird too! Daddy's bird is bigger than mine. Daddy's is a big bird! It's so big..."
What are you talking about?
Fu Jingyou withdrew his hand and was stunned for a moment.
In a split second, before his son could utter the next word "bird", he was slapped.
He didn't use much strength, but Baichuan's little head was wet, and the sound of "splash" made by the water sound as if he had used a cruel blow.
"Hmm... Wow - Mom, Dad hit me, woo..."
Baichuan touched his head with his little hand and burst into tears.
Fu Jingyou turned the boy's face around, held him on his knees, washed his hair and bathed him, and let him howl.
When Lu Miao came back after finishing his call, the father and son were sitting on the terrace fighting.
Fu Jingyou was holding Baichuan on his lap. Baichuan was crying and there was an electric fan blowing next to him.
Whenever the child cries, the father's hand gently pats the child's mouth.
The crying instantly turned into an echo machine of "wa wa wa wa".
Baichuan flapped his little hands to prevent his father from touching his mouth.
After going back and forth, Baichuan became a little anxious.
When I was beaten, I cried subconsciously.
Seeing his mother come back, Baichuan's mouth pursed, and he really cried because he was bullied.
The little fellow had two tears in his eyes, and he stretched out his hands and whimpered vaguely:
"Mom, Mom!"
Seeing the child looking so aggrieved, Lu Miao glared at Fu Jingyou, then took his son and patted him gently to comfort him:
"Okay, okay, Baichuan, stop crying. Mommy will tell Baichuan a story, okay?"
"Um!"
Baichuan hugged his mother's neck tightly and nodded vigorously. After a while, he turned around again, his little mouth pouting so much that it could almost hang an oil bottle on it, and pointed at his father and complained:
"Bad dad!"
Fu Jingyou raised his hand and feinted, as if he was going to hit someone.
Baichuan quickly turned around and this time held his mother's neck tightly with both hands.
Lu Miao turned around and glared at Fu Jingyou again.
There is always a way out. Now the father has become obedient.
Once upon a time, there was a shepherd boy who went to the mountains every day to tend the sheep. One day, he felt very bored and thought of a trick to amuse everyone. He shouted to the farmers working in the fields below the mountain: "Wolf! Wolf! Help!"
Maybe it's because my mother's arms make me feel too safe.
Baichuan was held and rocked gently. After only two short stories, the little guy rested his cheek on his mother's shoulder and fell asleep with a little moisture on his little mouth.
Fu Jingyou took the child, held him in his arms and continued to rock him gently.
After wiping the drool off the chubby boy's mouth, Fu Jingyou looked up at Lu Miao and asked in a soft voice:
"Is there any new news from Guangzhou?"
"Well, Cheng Yingjie said that the soap he brought last time is all sold out. The sales are very good, so he wants to order another batch, and this time he wants three times the amount."
"Can you afford that much?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem. The batch of imported essential oils we ordered has already arrived. Mei Zi said Xiangdong went to Tianjin early in the morning. If he doesn't come back today, he should be back with something tomorrow..."
Lu Miao paused for a moment and said worriedly:
"That's not the problem right now."
"Um?"
Fu Jingyou looked at her intently.
Lu Miao had no choice but to tell the truth.
Just as she had thought before:
You don’t need to know much about something to know whether it is good or not.
People who pay attention to maintenance or wear carefully will know it once they use it.
Because he was not optimistic about tea seed oil soap, Cheng Yingjie divided the selling prices of soap into two types.
Although intuitively, tea seed oil soap does not have many particular advantages, Cheng Yingjie does not pay much attention to it.
When we brought the soaps back home, we specially differentiated the prices to distinguish the imported ingredients.
The price of tea seed oil soap is indeed lower than that of essential oil soap.
But judging from the repurchase rate and the feedback from customers asking when new goods would be delivered, Cheng Yingjie was really surprised by the market public's love for tea seed oil soap.
When Cheng Yingjie called this time, he also calculated the essential oil soap and tea seed oil soap separately.
Essential oil soap requires five times the original amount, which means that the three scents require at least six or seven thousand soap bars in total.
The tea seed oil soap alone cost 5,000 yuan...
The essential oils I ordered have arrived at my doorstep, and the coconut oil used in soap making has a stable supply from the soap factory.
The problem is tea seed oil...
The current way to obtain tea seed oil is through some small workshops.
Lu Miao didn't look down on small workshops.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that time in China, many state-owned enterprises, let alone private ones, were still small workshops.
But the small workshops at that time were very different from those in later generations.
That's a good thing.
Many of the goods exported are produced in such small workshops.
Just...
As for tea seed oil, the oil yield of tea seeds is limited, and the manpower of small workshops is also limited, which is directly linked to the oil production.
Last time, I waited several days to get 200 kilograms of tea seed oil...
Once the demand is large, it is hard to say whether the supply can be met.
Lu Miao had this concern in his heart, so he didn't dare to agree to Cheng Yingjie's request on the phone, and only said that he would try his best...
