Lu Miao sighed and slapped his head.

This is really...

Just a hair's breadth away from making myself stupid to death!

I learned physics and chemistry earlier, but I don’t know where I got to!
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 answering the phone, 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 reply, so I took the initiative and tried to get rid of a batch of those defective soaps..."

Lu Miao suspected that the soaps were all defective. Would anyone want them if he could sell 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 defective soaps piled up there.

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 other textures are 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, and it is sold at 50 cents a piece without a ticket. 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 of his own.

Although everyone dispersed later, there are still a large number of people engaged in speculating 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 noticeable in cities, but they are rare and valuable goods in counties and towns.

Chen Xiangdong contacted those brothers.

He sold soap at fifty cents a bar in the market and gave the brothers forty cents.

Some people who got more were still calculated at 3.8 cents.

All in all, the nearly two thousand pieces of defective essential oil soaps that were originally piled up have almost been sold out.

Taking the average price of 38 cents per piece of soap, the return of 2,000 pieces of soap would be 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 held the receiver and said:
"You can sell it privately, but you have to make it clear to people 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 to them clearly. Many people buy it just for the smell, 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 amount of 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 chemical products for processing cochineal powder dissolved in oil.

The latter are clothing models that can only be seen in some high-end stores.

She was in a hurry, saying that it would be best if she could get it within a week, and at the latest within ten days. Chen Xiangdong did not dare to delay, and immediately set out to inquire around after hanging up the phone.

During this period, Lu Miao realized that he couldn't do anything fancy with the unprocessed cochineal powder, so he simply gave up.

After putting away her things, she went upstairs, holding a notebook and slumped on the sofa, writing and drawing here and there, and remained slumped for two days.

Tang Mei didn't know what she was busy with.

I just know that she does things in two extremes.

Either stay in the house and don't move.

Or they go out early in the morning and don’t 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 picked up 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 they won't be late for use when Minmin goes back.

Speaking of this, there was a quiet excitement at home.

Usually, the person responsible for washing clothes is Xu Xiangcao.

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.

Washing clothes for the whole family is tiring enough, and now there are so many of them, and they have to be washed by a stranger. Why?

But what can I do even if I don’t want to?

There is no option to "quit".

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, tilted his head and asked in confusion:

"Aunt?"

"Well, good."

Xu Xiangcao praised him in a low voice, then took Baichuan's hand, 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 only after he heard 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 a while, when she is done, 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 terrified 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 afternoon and she was watering the flowers under the sun, which made her sweat even more. (End of this chapter)
