When Qiao Xin returned home in the evening, she found out that the people from Yunxi Town had gone back that day.
Manager Cao and Shunzi explained what they needed to do, so she didn't ask any more questions.
The next morning, a group of female workers from Qiao's beauty workshop officially took up their posts.
Qiao Xin stood in front of this group of people and spoke softly.
Standing at the front of the team was the criminal slave named Heiya.
Heiya, who was unwilling to sit idle after resting for two days, took the initiative to find Qiao Xin and asked for tasks to do.
Qiao Xin looked at her and found that she was in good spirits and not forcing herself, so she nodded in agreement.
This girl is strong and eats a lot, but she is also very stubborn. Qiao Xin arranged her to guard the gate.
Qiao Xin told her solemnly: "This room contains all the most important things. Apart from me, Nanny Qin and other working women, no one else can come in without my consent. Do you understand?"
Heiya raised her head and said, "I'll remember this. I'll guard the door!"
Qiao Xin admired her naivety and patted her arm happily.
"Good girl, work hard and I'll make sure you have enough food every day!"
Perhaps because she was afraid of hunger since childhood, the two days in Laohu Town can be said to be the happiest time for Heiya.
No one complains about eating too much, no one complains about being ugly, and no one beats themselves with a whip for no reason.
As long as she worked hard, no one would say how much she ate. The uncle who served her food seemed to be afraid that she would not eat enough, so he would ask her about every meal.
I'm full, girl. Do you want some more?
She knew that these people were kind to her only because the old lady in front of them recognized her.
Otherwise, why would anyone be polite to a lowly criminal like her?
In this life, besides the young master, this is the second person who really doesn't despise me!
How could she not cherish it?
Qiao Xin never thought that her daily employee care would make the little girl feel so emotional.
She was currently sitting in a dedicated laboratory, doing the final bottling of the prepared facial cream and honey lip balm.
Yesterday, when Song Yaotou delivered the large jars, he also sent a batch of small-mouthed jars that she had ordered.
She took advantage of this time to make a batch of finished products and send them to the capital so that Zhang could open the shop earlier.
In order to keep the technology confidential, she divided the process of making rouge and powder into more than a dozen steps, and each step has a fixed team member in charge.
Each team member does not work or stay in the same room, and is not allowed to visit other rooms to gather information.
Qiao Xin was even responsible for the two key steps of adding beeswax and extracting floral essential oils herself.
In this way, even if the Wen family sent spies or bribed the employees in the workshop, she would not be able to obtain the complete production process.
Rouge and powder might not be so popular, so Qiao Xin originally planned to wait another month or two before launching the product into the market.
But yesterday I heard Madam Xu and Nanny Qin complaining that the mosquitoes in their home were too venomous and hard to guard against. One bite would leave a big swelling, but there was nothing they could do and they could only endure it.
Qiao Xin slapped her head and wondered why she had forgotten about the mosquito and insect repellent products that are essential in summer?
Speaking of this, we have to mention the famous Fengyoujing and Qingliangyou, which are must-have products for everyone in summer to repel mosquitoes, cool off, and refresh the mind.
When you go out, bring a box of cooling oil with you, which can not only prevent heatstroke but also relieve itching and pain.
She had already been collecting the raw materials for this recipe.
In the wet area near the river, the mint grew so wildly that there was no place to step.
In the ravines and along the roadsides, there were mugwort seeds scattered everywhere by Qiao Xin.
Now, in less than three months, the leaves of mugwort have grown densely.
When they heard that Qiao Xin wanted to collect these two kinds of wild grasses, everyone would cut a bundle when they went home from the fields, then dry the leaves and send them over. As long as the quality was good, Qiao Xin would buy them at a uniform price of three cents per pound.
This job is easy and does not require much effort. It is a perfect job for the children in the village. They are nimble and can easily earn a few cents a day.
Right now, what Qiao Xin is going to do is to make an improved version of mugwort mint ointment.
She soaked the mint, wormwood, cinnamon, cloves and mint that had been ground in advance in tea oil one day in advance.
Today is the perfect time to steam it, filter out the residue, add enough beeswax, and pour it into a small, exquisite round-mouthed jar after it cools down.
Although the quantity is small, each can can be used for a month.
Apply it after being bitten by mosquitoes, and it will relieve itching and swelling in just a cup of tea.
Then it makes sense for her to price each jar at five taels of silver.
The tea oil, cloves, cinnamon and beeswax in it are not cheap. Her target customers are not ordinary people.
However, if you add some alcohol, borneol and peppermint essential oil to the filtered residue, it will become a simplified version of Fengyoujing.
Even if it is a simplified version, it is made from medicinal materials in the system, and its efficacy cannot be compared with the medicines of this era.
What Qiao Xin thought was absolutely correct. After she gave the Fengyoujing to Xu and Qin Ma, within half an hour, the two of them ran to her happily.
"Mom, where did you buy this medicine? It's so effective.
Look at the bite I got last night. Once I applied the solution, the itching stopped in just a moment.
This smell is also very pleasant, cool and refreshing, and it immediately makes you feel less sleepy.”
"Madam is right. I have used good ointments in the capital, but none of them are as effective as this one!"
Nanny Qin paused for a moment, then said, "Madam, this thing was not easy to come by, was it? You don't have to spend so much money on this servant."
"You've been bribed by this little thing? Do you want something better?"
Qiao Xin took out two clean white jars with small mouths from her pocket, shook them in front of the two of them, and then motioned for them to come forward.
"Take it, open it and have a look!"
When Nanny Qin opened the jar, a cool breeze came over her. The rich, cool mint scent lifted her spirits and made her feel refreshed all of a sudden.
The light yellow paste with a hint of light green in the jar mouth does not spill out easily, so it is very convenient to just put it in your pocket.
Compared with cooling oil, the two prefer this product.
“This one, it’s no exaggeration to say, is wiped out immediately.
I plan to provide the second son's wife with five taels of silver per bottle. She should be able to sell it for double the price. Mammy, do you think this price is too expensive?"
"No, the wealthy families in Beijing would spend hundreds or even thousands of taels on just one ginseng root. As long as it's good for the body, they'll be willing to spend money on it.
Madam, you might as well raise the price a little bit. It won’t be a problem to ship it at ten taels of silver per bottle!"
Xu's hands trembled, and she almost threw the small bottle out!
How come she never realized that Nanny Qin actually had the physique of a profiteer!
But compared to the three or five cents profit from a bowl of noodles in her small shop, this is the most profitable industry!
"My eldest wife, when our products gain a good reputation in the capital, we will open a branch in Weizhou Prefecture and leave it to you to run."
