"Mosquito coils? Wan-ya, are you talking about those dark, black things we use?" Hu said in shock.
“Yes, those are the ones.” Jiang Wanwan nodded.
Based on feedback from her family members after using the mosquito coils, Jiang Wanwan now knows which of the three types of mosquito coils is the most effective at repelling mosquitoes.
The mosquito coils she and Grandma Jiang used in their room were quite effective; they were the kind that contained realgar powder.
She decided to stop making the other two types of mosquito coils that weren't very effective and focus solely on producing and selling this one type.
Hu's eyes sparkled with joy, "Those mosquito coils are very effective at repelling mosquitoes, I think they will definitely sell very well!"
Uncle Jiang's eyes were filled with excitement, "So those mosquito coils were for sale! The mosquito coils we used last night were quite effective at repelling mosquitoes. After using them, there were far fewer mosquitoes."
Old Jiang said, "After we used mosquito coils in our house, we couldn't find a single living mosquito."
Zhu said with some doubt, "They are effective at repelling mosquitoes, but they all seem too ugly. Would people in the county really want them?"
Uncle Jiang glared at Zhu and said first, "Don't even mention how ugly she is, even if she were uglier, they would still fight to buy mosquito coils to use. After all, the mosquito-repelling effect is so obvious. Since using mosquito coils, I can finally sleep through the night."
Jiang Wanwan chuckled. She had already considered this issue on her way back. "Don't worry, I've already thought about how to solve the problem of the mosquito coil's appearance."
Tomorrow, I'll trouble everyone to go up the mountain and cut as much mugwort as possible. Also, we'll need elm powder, so we'll need to cut elm bark as well.
To prevent others from figuring out her mosquito coil recipe, she decided to make two different kinds.
One type is made with mugwort powder, elm powder, dried tangerine peel powder, realgar powder, and charcoal powder. This type is mainly targeted at ordinary people.
The other type is based on the first one and incorporates some modern mosquito coil ingredients.
Modern mosquito coils are crushed into powder and mixed with the right proportions to produce this high-cost mosquito coil, which is then sold exclusively to grocery stores and spice shops in county towns.
This way, they can meet their high-quality requirements and prevent others from discovering the secret formula for making mosquito coils and seizing their market share.
“No problem, leave these small things to us.” Uncle Jiang and the others were very excited when they heard that they could make money by selling mosquito coils.
"That's right, my precious granddaughter, you don't need to worry about these things. Just leave them to your uncles. You've been running around all day, you must be tired. Go wash up and go back to your room to rest. You still have to make those mosquito coils tomorrow." Grandma Jiang looked at Jiang Wanwan with concern and urged her.
Then, Granny Jiang addressed the group, “Tomorrow you all get up early and hurry up the mountain to cut mugwort and elm bark, so as not to delay important matters.”
Although it's unclear whether selling these mosquito coils will be profitable, it's a good start for Old Jiang's family.
"Yes, Mother."
"Yes, milk."
After giving her instructions, Grandma Jiang moved closer to Jiang Wanwan and asked cheerfully, "Wanwan, what other materials do we need to make mosquito coils? Please tell us all of them."
Jiang Wanwan shook her head. "That's all. We'll need to buy the rest from the pharmacy. We still have plenty in the house, so we don't need to buy any more for now."
“Alright then.” Grandma Jiang said with a smile. “Granddaughter, you must be tired,” she said, looking at the two brothers, Jiang Jiang and Jiang He. “Dajiang, Dahe, go and fetch water for your sister to bathe.”
