Chapter 1070 Lively
Lu Miao sighed and slapped his head.
This is really...
Just a hair's breadth away and I'd be stupid enough to die!
I learned physics and chemistry earlier, but I don’t know where I went!
After quickly tidying up the table, Lu Miao closed the door and went to the living room in the main courtyard to make a phone call.
No one knew what Chen Xiangdong was busy with. He was not there when Lu Miao called him.
After hanging up the phone and waiting for a while, he called back.
After the call was connected, the first thing he did was to ask and report:
"Sister-in-law, I couldn't get through on the phone last time, and I asked Brother Fu to pass on a message, but you didn't respond. So I took it upon myself to find a way to get rid of a batch of those defective soaps..."
Lu Miao suspected that the soaps were all defective. Could they be sold? Would anyone want them?
Chen Xiangdong replied with great confidence.
Not only are there people who want it, there are many people who want it.
But the price is definitely not comparable to that in their store...
This matter goes back to some time ago.
After work in the yard, Chen Xiangdong had nothing to do, so he suddenly had an idea. He decided to set up a small table in the market to see if anyone would buy the piles of defective soaps.
Mei Zi went with him.
Although the defective soap does not meet their sales standards, it does not affect its use.
And apart from the different color, the texture is actually similar to ordinary soap.
There are some dents or small cracks or something.
But the characteristic of essential oil soap is its natural and pleasant fragrance. It is sold at 50 cents a piece and no ticket is required. Compared with other soaps on the market, it immediately stands out.
Many neighbors think it is suitable.
In just two evenings, Chen Xiangdong and Mei Zi made nearly a hundred yuan.
In addition, before joining Lu Miao's business, Chen Xiangdong already had a group of brothers.
Although everyone dispersed later, there are still a large number of people engaged in speculative trading between cities.
Some brothers returned to the rural areas in the north and south, and would occasionally come out to bring back some things from the city.
Some things may not be very eye-catching in the city, but they are rare and valuable goods in counties and towns.
Chen Xiangdong contacted those brothers.
He sold soap for fifty cents a bar in the market and gave the brothers forty cents.
Some people who got more were still charged 38 cents.
All in all, the defective essential oil soaps that were originally piled up for nearly two thousand yuan have almost been sold out.
Taking the average price of 38 cents per piece of soap, the return on 2,000 pieces of soap is 700 to 800 yuan.
Chen Xiangdong was very happy.
Because subconsciously, I always feel that it has made up for the previous losses in sea transportation.
After hearing this, Lu Miao had a rough idea in his mind and said while holding the phone:
"You can sell it privately, but you have to explain clearly that this soap is for washing hair, bathing, and face, and it's less effective for washing clothes."
"I know all this. Mei Zi and I have explained it clearly to them. Many people buy it just for the scent, especially young girls. They all say ours smells good."
"Well, you can arrange these things as you see fit."
Lu Miao nodded slightly, giving Chen Xiangdong the maximum power.
Just after this matter was settled, Lu Miao got back to the point and said:
"Please spare some time these two days. I have something else for you to do..."
There are two main things that Lu Miao asked Chen Xiangdong to do.
The first thing was to find her a few things.
The second thing is to find something for her.
However, the former corresponds to her personal use of oil-soluble chemicals to process cochineal powder.
The latter are clothing mannequins that can only be seen in some high-end stores.
She was in a hurry and said that she wanted the things to arrive within a week at best and within ten days at the latest.
Chen Xiangdong didn't dare to delay, and immediately set out to inquire everywhere after hanging up the phone.
During this period, Lu Miao realized that he couldn't do anything with the unprocessed cochineal powder, so he simply gave up.
After putting away her things, she went upstairs and collapsed on the sofa with her notebook in hand, writing and drawing intermittently, and remained there for two days.
Tang Mei didn't even know what she was busy with.
I just know that she does things in two extremes.
Or just stay in the house and don't move.
Or they would go out early in the morning and not come back until dark.
The facts were just as Tang Mei thought.
Lu Miao stayed at home for a few days, and sketched more than ten simple clothing outlines based on the characteristics of the era.
After that, as if something was confirmed, he hurriedly grabbed his handbag and went to the garment factory, and then stayed there.
During this period, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived earlier than the news from Chen Xiangdong.
Lu Miao was busy with work, so the task of picking Minmin up fell on Fu Jingyou.
Fu Jingyou took some free time in advance.
Not only did he take Minmin back, he also took back the clothes that Minmin had taken off and had not had time to wash in the past two days, as well as the thin bedding for summer use.
While the weather and temperature are stable, I'll wash and dry them these two days so that Minmin can use them when she goes back.
Speaking of this, there was a quiet excitement at home.
Usually, Xu Xiangcao is responsible for washing clothes.
Fu Jingyou brought back a large package of things, all of which needed to be washed.
Xu Xiangcao took the things and didn't say anything on the surface, but she was somewhat reluctant in her heart.
It’s tiring enough to wash clothes for the whole family, and now there’s so much, and I have to wash it for a stranger. Why?
But what can I do even if I don’t want to?
There is no option of "not doing it".
Xu Xiangcao worked hard and was carrying a bulging bag. She was originally going to wash in the aisle at the side door of the front yard.
Seeing Wang Xiu watering the flowers and plants with a water pipe under the sun on the road, Xu Xiangcao's eyes flashed and she suddenly had an idea.
"Baichuan, come, come!"
Xu Xiangcao waved quietly, and Xiao Baichuan, who had been following her, tiptoed forward a few steps, tilting his head and asking in confusion:
"Aunt?"
"Yeah, good."
Xu Xiangcao praised him in a low voice, then took Bai Chuan's hand, then stood up and raised her voice and shouted:
"Sister Xiu, I'm going to do the laundry. Can you spare some time to look after Baichuan?"
"What?"
Wang Xiu was holding the water pipe and splashing water everywhere. She didn't hear clearly when Xu Xiangcao said it the first time.
Xu Xiangcao waved the big package in her hand and repeated it again. Wang Xiu nodded after hearing it clearly.
At that time, Wang Xiu put down the work at hand, turned off the faucet, and came over to hug Baichuan.
Xu Xiangcao also smiled shyly, touched Baichuan's head, and patiently coaxed Baichuan to stay with Wang Xiu for a while.
After she is done with her work, she will come over and continue playing with him.
Baichuan is young, but very obedient.
After Xu Xiangcao said this, Baichuan nodded and took the initiative to hold Wang Xiu's hand.
But when Wang Xiu squatted over to hug him, Xiao Baichuan's face was filled with fear again. He quickly broke free from Wang Xiu's hand, turned around and ran back to hug Xu Xiangcao's legs:
"I don't want Aunt Xiuxiu, she stinks!"
Wang Xiu does rough work every day and sweats a lot.
Not to mention that it was late in the afternoon and she was watering the flowers under the sun, which made her sweat even more.
