Chapter 1113 Advantages
"thanks, thanks!"

In the main hall of the Fu family, Liu Xiaozhu sat down beside the coffee table.

Wang Xiu poured him some tea. He was so hesitant that he kept saying "thank you" when he stood up to take it.

Wang Xiu found it funny, but seeing how Liu Xiaozhu was looking around, she could also understand it.

Weren't they the same as him when they first entered this house?

Not to mention sitting, I don’t even know where to stand.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiu smiled kindly and said:

"Please sit down for a while. Sister Lu and Brother Chen have something to discuss. It will probably take a while."

"Hey, okay! Let them get busy first, I won't be in the way while I wait here!"

Liu Xiaozhu nodded hurriedly.

After Wang Xiu went to the side to do something else, he opened his eyes wide and looked around the hall again.

Be obedient...

Look at this decoration?

Look at this family portrait with everyone standing together?
The family portrait on a banner might as well be bigger than their door!

How can this be an ordinary family?
Judging from the situation, Brother and Sister Fu are even more powerful than he imagined!

In the main hall, Liu Xiaozhu was truly enlightened.

In the craft room on the other side, Lu Miao had just finished cleaning the small empty box that Chen Xiangdong brought over.

What they are handling now may be a trade secret for a long time in the future, so Lu Miao only let Chen Xiangdong come in.

As for Liu Xiaozhu?
Just let him stay in front and drink some tea.

The prepared ointment liquid had solidified slightly after the alcohol lamp was turned off due to the low temperature in the room.

Lu Miao lit the alcohol lamp to heat it to melt, then used a heat-insulating cloth to hold the beaker and pour the liquid into each small box.

Chen Xiangdong watched part of the process from the side and couldn't help asking:
"What did you do this time?"

"This is an ointment. It's hard to say whether it will work."

Lu Miao kept moving his hands, and raised his chin to the small bag on the side while speaking:

“That’s lipstick.”

Lipstick?

Chen Xiangdong's eyes widened uncontrollably.

When Lu Miao asked him to make a lipstick mold before, he knew that Lu Miao must have some ideas in this regard.

He had been looking forward to it.

He asked several times but there was no news, and the time interval was quite long, so he almost forgot about it.

I didn't expect that this unexpected result would come out at this moment?
Chen Xiangdong was extremely impatient. Lu Miao didn't let him touch the beakers and other things on the table, but he got permission to touch lipsticks and other things. He then directly opened the bag to look.

He is not a rough man, but he is a man after all.

I don’t often come into contact with small things like lipstick, so I took a lipstick tube and twisted it for a long time but couldn’t open it.

Lu Miao saw this from the corner of her eye and couldn't stand him anymore, so she put down her work and took a lipstick to demonstrate:
"It's closed like this. You just pull it and it'll open. It's not a bottle cap. Why twist it?"

"..."

Chen Xiangdong rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, pinched her lipstick and squeezed it out of the paste, looked at it for a while, handed it to her and said:

"I think it's great. The color looks nice, too. How much do we sell it for?"

Lu Miao was at a loss for words for a moment, so he took the lipstick, screwed it back, and put the cap back on:

"...It's not the time to talk about money yet. Forget it, you don't understand this." Chen Xiangdong asked in confusion:

"Aren't they already made? Why keep them if you don't want to sell them?"

Lu Miao continued to pick up the work he had just done and explained:
"This is just an early test product. The color looks good, but the actual color development is not that obvious. I asked you to take these back and ask a few female comrades to give some to try and see what their feedback is. If the feedback is good, then we will consider whether to keep this color number."

And if we consider selling it externally, we will have to obtain product quality inspection reports and other things.

Another thing is that the raw materials used in production also need to be further considered.

Lu Miao felt that the beeswax, which had been preserved for several years, was not very good.

Chen Xiangdong nodded in understanding, and repeatedly confirmed the cost issue with Lu Miao.

Lu Miao said: "Base oils are coconut oil and olive oil, which you have come into contact with when producing soap before. The other is beeswax. These don't cost much. You can probably produce hundreds or even thousands of lipsticks with just a few dozen yuan. This is what takes some effort."

Lu Miao took out a small portion bag from the drawer.

"What is this?" Chen Xiangdong asked, "Red yeast rice powder?"

"It's cochineal powder."

Lu Miao rolled his eyes at him unhappily, not even bothering to say that he didn't know what he was talking about.

There was only a little left in his hand, and fearing that he would be careless and ruin it, Lu Miao quickly took the bag back.

In two seconds, he divided the remaining ointment liquid in the beaker into a small porcelain box.

While the water was left to form a paste, Lu Miao stood up, waved her hand, and took Chen Xiangdong upstairs to see the pots of cacti she had moved indoors.

The previously placed insects have already climbed onto the cactus, and their number has increased significantly.

The potted plants are just placed on the windowsill of the floor-to-ceiling windows. It's okay when the sun is strong, but the temperature is still a little low at night.

Looking closely now, the cochineal insects on several pots of cacti all looked shriveled and not very healthy.

Lu Miao frowned and turned around to call Chen Xiangdong:
"Help me move these pots to the greenhouse in the backyard."

Chen Xiangdong was still in a daze!
What did his sister-in-law say just now?

Was the lipstick I was looking at downstairs at that time made from this bug?

Chen Xiangdong hesitated as he carried the flower pots and followed Lu Miao downstairs, unable to stop wondering:

"No, sister-in-law, is this lipstick made from insects okay? It sounds hard to swallow, can it be sold?"

"What's wrong with being made from insects? Although it's extracted from insects, it's hard to get and expensive. Now, apart from where I am, you probably won't be able to find many places in the country that have it even if you look hard..."

Lu Miao turned around and glanced at Chen Xiangdong, then continued:
"Don't be prejudiced just because it's extracted from insects. Have you heard of ambergris? It's both a spice and a Chinese medicine. But it's actually excreted from whales. But so what? Does it affect its value?"

Chen Xiangdong nodded as if he understood.

To be honest, this statement really touched upon his blind spots in knowledge.

He had actually never heard of ambergris, but he couldn't resist Lu Miao's certainty.

In addition, Lu Miao is the behind-the-scenes owner of the factory, so there is absolutely no reason for her to hurt herself.

Chen Xiangdong gradually became convinced.

After thinking about it, Chen Xiangdong made a suggestion:

"Then when it is really put on the market, it should be OK if we don't say it is made of insects!"

After all, it is something you eat and is used by girls. If people really tell people that it is made of insects, which girl would dare to buy it?

Chen Xiangdong felt that his consideration was reasonable, but Lu Miao looked at him meaningfully and smiled:
“You don’t have to emphasize that it’s made from insects, but you have to point out that the raw material is cochineal pigment powder.”

"Huh? Why?"

"Because we want to be high-end, it is our advantage."
