Chapter 1166: Substitution
What Lu Miao talked about with Chen Xiangdong was a marketing concept.
But these words are said based on the current situation.
For things like hair bands, essential oil soaps or balms, as long as you find the right fabric and essential oils, you don’t have to worry about supply problems.
But lipstick is different.
Especially the cochineal insects that Lu Miao is planning to focus on cultivating and breeding are too scarce.
With the existing cochineal pigment powder, it is not a problem to make a hundred lipsticks at once.
But if you want to add multiple colors and subsequent supply, this is impossible.
When Lu Miao chose this product, he had the confidence to make it a success.
She felt it was necessary to consider these problems, which could be foreseen now, in advance.
Chen Xiangdong has never really understood anything about lipstick.
In addition, he had indeed not thought of the situation that Lu Miao mentioned.
He nodded again and again as Lu Miao spoke.
Those who don’t understand will follow those who do, and he will just do whatever Lu Miao arranges.
After briefly making subsequent distribution arrangements, Lu Miao emphasized:
"I still have to find some free time to find natural pigment powder. The cochineal supply will be insufficient for a while, so I need these things to replace it."
Chen Xiangdong touched the back of his head and responded quickly:
"OK."
Lu Miao nodded slightly.
Having said that, she bent down and slowly stepped down from the large protruding rock before she found her footing. At the flat ground below the slope, Ling Yuan waved and shouted:
"The meal is ready, come back and eat!"
Lu Miao and Chen Xiangdong looked at each other and walked down the slope together.
Halfway through the journey, Lu Miao mentioned that there was a baby stroller in the car and asked Chen Xiangdong to help give it to Gu Ying when he returned.
Chen Xiangdong nodded in agreement.
Just as he was approaching Ling Yuan, Lu Miao said with a smile:
"You already had dinner when you came here. It's neither early nor late now. Why are you going to all that trouble?"
Ling Yuan waved and walked ahead to lead the way, smiling and chatting with them over his shoulder:
"It wasn't a big deal. We didn't have any great conditions on the farm. I just cooked a pot of noodles and used local ingredients to make two eggs. That's all."
Chen Xiangdong said: "Noodles are a fine grain. Most people want to eat them but can't."
Ling Yuan turned to look at Chen Xiangdong.
They are all people who run factories and do big business. If they don’t eat rice, fine grains, chicken, duck, fish and meat on a daily basis, they will eat better food.
Originally, Ling Yuan thought Chen Xiangdong was just being polite, but seeing that he was serious, he was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Ling Yuan nodded repeatedly, his expression enthusiastic and his brows brightened with a rare clarity:
"Noodles are secondary, but I really want to praise these eggs! They're all chickens I raise myself, and the eggs are delicious! You guys try them later, and I'll find something else to pack for you to take back home and let everyone at home try them too!"
When Lu Miao heard this, he knew he was not joking and said quickly:
"Don't! We're just trying to eat a couple of bites here, but we've come all the way here to eat and take things. We'll be embarrassed to come here next time."
The chattering paused for a moment, and then the three of them started laughing again.
Ling's parents also manage the village's farm, which is a cooperative between the village and a state-owned enterprise.
Ling Yuan was busy here, and his family was too busy to come and help him.
Fortunately, I have a mother-in-law.
After Lin Xian got married, her mother originally wanted to set up the noodle stall again.
I'm busy and leisurely every day, and I just need to earn enough to take care of myself.
This also saves the daughter and son-in-law from having to set aside a portion of their income to support her, which would then make it difficult for their daughter to live in her husband's family.
Lin's mother had a good idea, but Lin Xian didn't agree at all.
She really didn't want to rest, so Lin Xian arranged for her to stay on the farm in Lingyuan.
Ask her to help Ling Yuan with washing clothes and cooking on a daily basis.
Giving her fifteen yuan a month not only gave her something to spend, but also made Ling Yuan feel embarrassed to trouble his mother-in-law.
The most crucial point is that Lin’s mother is indeed old.
Lin Xian was worried about letting her live alone, so Ling Yuan could also look after her on the farm...
Lu Miao learned about this while eating, and asked Ling Yuan where Sui Sui was now.
Ling Yuan smiled and said:
"She's close to Lin Xian now. She clings to her like she's clinging to anything else. She's been living with her at the factory lately."
Lu Miao nodded in understanding, and said while eating noodles slowly:
"I bought scooters for the kids on this business trip. When I came here, I told them to leave them here for you. Now the kids and Lin Xian are at the factory, so I told Xiangdong to bring them over directly. This way, they won't have to worry about getting them when they come back, and it would be troublesome for you to bring them back."
Ling Yuan nodded softly, but then said:
"Don't spend money all the time. She's too young to play with anything, so it's a waste if you buy her anything."
Lu Miao laughed and glared at him:
"They say the child is young, how much money can I spend on her toys? Besides, as her godmother, you still have to interfere when I buy food, drinks, and toys for my daughter?"
Ling Yuan laughed dryly and shook his head. Knowing Lu Miao's temper, he didn't say anything more.
After finishing the meal, Lu Miao handed the stroller and scooter to Chen Xiangdong, then turned around and waved to Ling Yuan.
Following the previous two cars that came one after another, they now left together.
The farm was bustling for a while, then suddenly returned to calm.
Ling Yuan stood at the door for a long time, only locking the iron gate from the inside when he saw them walk away, and then turned back to his work...
Lu Miao bought scooters for all the children around him, but the only one left was Nie Yunge's.
Liu Xiaozhu sent her home and then went to pick up the children from school.
Lu Miao thought about this and figured that when Liu Xiaozhu went to school, he would definitely meet the Xue family's car picking up the child.
Just let Liu Xiaozhu take the scooter with him and give it to the Xue family on the way.
It also saves you from having to make another trip afterwards.
Only after taking care of these important and trivial matters did Lu Miao begin to truly enjoy his vacation.
The fertilizers that were previously buried in the garden at home have taken effect, and the changes in the flowers, plants and trees this spring have been particularly significant.
When she was on a business trip a while ago, the garden was full of flowers. Now that she is back, although the flowers have faded, the garden is still full of greenery.
Some fruit trees are laden with bright little fruits.
Conventional fruit trees take at least two to three years to bear fruit, but theirs is an exception, and they can already enjoy fresh fruit the first year...
On a May afternoon, in the small outdoor tea room under the terrace.
Lu Miao was holding a teacup and looking around the garden leisurely, with a little baby playing with the puppy in front of his knees.
She looked away and saw something funny. After a while, she put down her teacup, picked up the child and went upstairs.
"Remember to wash your hands after playing with Tuantuan, okay?"
"I know, Mom!"
"Well, baby is so good~"
Lu Miao pecked his son's little face, went into the house and took out two hats of different sizes, one for himself and one for the child.
After the mother and son put on their sun protection gear, they carried the small bucket and went to the garden together to apply fertilizer to the dwarf shrubs and flowers.

The author has something to say:
I have to be hospitalized for a minor surgery tomorrow afternoon, which will take about four days. I will try my best to keep you updated!
Another thing is that the website is being reformed, and there is no diversion for long books at all. There are fewer and fewer recommendation votes and comments, and there are only a few every day. I feel a little bit like a single player, and I don’t know how many friends are still reading?
If you are willing to continue reading after reading this, could you give me some encouragement? Thank you!
