Chapter 74: The Wife Follows the Husband
Gu Qingshi looked at Bai Xue nodding so hard and couldn't help laughing, "You will understand after a while."
Gu Qingshi did not go out of his way to look for it. After all, this stamp was something you could only encounter by chance. He would just collect it when he had the chance. After carefully collecting the stamp, he left it to time and opportunity. He said no more and turned his attention to business.
After finishing his work in the evening, Gu Qingshi tried out all the different brands of vanishing cream he had bought.
After using them, Gu Qingshi felt that each had its own merits. Her homemade one was no worse, but she was afraid that she was mistaken, so she asked Bai Xue and Bai Yang to try it as well.
We didn't tell them what brand they were in advance and just let them try it blindly. After Bai Yang used them, he said they were both good and couldn't tell the specific difference.
Bai Xue was more careful, but she also said that Gu Qingshi’s homemade product was very good. She liked it very much. It was not greasy but had a good moisturizing effect and smelled good too.
"Sister, I like this pear blossom scent. What brand is it?"
"My sister's brand." Gu Qingshi pointed at himself and said, "I made it myself."
Bai Xue was surprised, "Sister, you made this? You can also make this?"
"Yes, I plan to sell it. What do you think?"
"I think it's great and can be sold. You are awesome, sis."
"Then do you want to learn? If you learn, do it with me. I can't handle it alone."
"Yes, yes, can I do it too?" Bai Xue was overjoyed.
"Of course." This was Gu Qingshi's original plan. "Let your uncle take care of Gu's Kitchen. I'll be hiring waiters. You can make moisturizer with me from now on."
Bai Xue helps out in Gu’s kitchen, not because she likes the job very much, she is just helping out. Gu Qingshi has never thought of letting Bai Xue do it forever.
Bai Xue was willing, but she had concerns. "I've never learned this before, and I'm afraid I can't do it well."
"Don't worry, I'm here to teach you. Besides, I've never learned it before, but I managed to do it. We can just learn together." Gu Qingshi believed Bai Xue.
Gu Qingshi kept his word and started recruiting waiters the next day and told Bai Zhong and Bai Yang about his plan.
Bai Zhong saw that after all the trouble Gu Qingshi had, everything turned out well in the end, so he didn't object in the end and just asked Bai Xue to do her job well.
After recruiting people, Gu Qingshi and Bai Xue started to get busy in the backyard. She moved out the production equipment and things that were originally placed in the space, and added what needed to be added.
"Let's make this one first, and then we'll slowly make the others later."
Gu Qingshi had experience, and Bai Xue was indeed talented, so after a few days of hard work, they gradually got on the right track. Seeing that Bai Xue could do it, Gu Qingshi handed it over to her with confidence and only controlled the steps and the most important raw materials, namely spiritual spring water and pear blossoms.
Gu Qingshi was busy designing custom packaging for the moisturizer. Moisturizer is important, and packaging is also important. Gu Qingshi has the ambition to build a brand, so it is very important from the beginning.
Because she already had Gu’s Kitchen, there was no contradiction in the brand name; it was just Gu’s. She designed the logo herself and even tried many fonts.
But after trying many times, I was never satisfied. In the end, Lu Yuan helped me write it. Lu Yuan's calligraphy is also amazing.
"You write well, use this."
Lu Yuan took a closer look and nodded after he was satisfied. "Yeah."
Lu Yuan’s opinion was similar to Gu Qingshi’s. They both felt that the name of a moisturizer did not need to be too complicated and that it should be simple and clear.
Because this moisturizer has a whitening effect, we finally decided to simply call it whitening cream, emphasizing its whitening effect.
After Gu Qingshi made the decision, he went to the kitchen himself to thank Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan did not object and even went to the kitchen to help Gu Qingshi.
"No, I'll be ready in a moment. You can go out first." Gu Qingshi originally thought that someone of Lu Yuan's status would not be suitable for helping.
It turned out that she was wrong. Lu Yuan was very skilled, as if he had done it many times, and he peeled the potatoes quickly and well.
Gu Qingshi's gaze was probably too strange. Lu Yuan laughed, "Why are you looking at me like that? I used to cook."
"Why are you still cooking?" Gu Qingshi asked after seeing what he said.
"In order not to starve to death." Lu Yuan answered indifferently. It was unknown what he was thinking, his eyes were slightly cold.
Gu Qingshi only knew that Lu Yuan was worth a lot of money, but didn't know much about his family background. Looking at his current appearance, there was no way he could have starved to death. He wanted to ask, "Is the oil hot?", so he could only cook first.
Looking at the busy Gu Qingshi, Lu Yuan asked her if she wanted to cut the potatoes into slices, and then she started cutting them with a knife. Her knife skills didn't seem very skillful, but they were not unfamiliar either.
Gu Qingshi took a look and was about to ask Lu Yuan why he was so skilled in using a knife when he saw Bai Yang coming.
Seeing Lu Yuan helping inside, Bai Yang rolled up his sleeves and said, "You are a guest, how..."
Bai Yang was about to say that he was here, but before he could finish his words, Fang Wen quickly found an excuse to pull him away.
Fang Wenxin said, why are you disturbing the couple who are singing together?
Gu Qingshi didn’t know what Fang Wen was thinking, but because Bai Yang interrupted him, he didn’t have the chance to ask later.
After the design was finalized, the next step was to customize the bottles and jars and package them like some other brands. This was a bit difficult for Gu Qingshi at the time, so he later decided to use ceramics.
There are people who make ceramics in their county, and Bai Zhong knows someone there. Together, Gu Qingshi and the master chef selected a mini ceramic oblate sealed jar, which is very beautiful and novel.
But it was fine porcelain after all, and it was very expensive, but Gu Qingshi gritted his teeth and bought it.
"Order it, as long as the quantity increases later, it will be cheaper."
"When the quantity increases in the future, I will definitely give you a discount." The boss promised.
Their speed was quite fast. Gu Qingshi received the goods very quickly and the finished product turned out well.
Everything was ready. When the weather became drier and colder, Gu Qingshi started to set up a stall and sell the first batch of whitening cream.
Like other places, a night market has recently sprung up in Mingchang County. There are more and more things for sale in the night market, and more and more people are visiting. It is very lively from around 7pm to 10pm.
Gu Qingshi followed the original plan and started selling at the night market. "Everyone come and have a look at this whitening cream. It moisturizes and whitens the skin. It's affordable and practical."
Gu Qingshi shouted out his wares to attract everyone's attention, and soon attracted the two sisters.
"How do you sell it? What brand is it?"
The price set by Gu Qingshi was a little lower than the previous brands purchased. The two sisters took a look out of curiosity but were still not satisfied.
"Can it be cheaper? I don't think this is a big brand. I've never heard of it. I can pay a little more and buy it at a department store."
"This is already the lowest price. Sister, look at my packaging. The stuff inside is good. You will know after you try it."
Gu Qingshi was willing to spend a lot of money on a small, white, round ceramic. It looked clean, with the word "Gu" simply written on it, and pear blossoms and the words "whitening cream" below.
