Chapter 119: Homemade Wooden Box

Lin He looked at the comfrey paste in his hand, which was a little different from the one he bought in a certain cosmetics in his previous life, although a certain brand of comfrey paste in his previous life was said to be made of comfrey, but I don't know if there were any unknown chemicals added to it, but the effect was okay.

Lin He's own comfrey paste is purple-red, and the taste is stronger than the one he bought in his previous life, but the one he made himself is pure natural, without adding any chemicals, it must be better than the one in his previous life

However, Lin He is not sure whether it is the first time to make it, so it is better to wait for his own use, try the effect and then make it in large quantities, after all, this thing is to be wiped on the body, if you can't be sure whether the effect is good or not, I am afraid that it will not be easy to take it out and sell it.

Lin He believed that what he did must be not bad, but in order to be more safe, he still used it for a period of time, Lin He put the comfrey and other materials he bought into the cabinet of paste-making and wrapped it in several layers of oiled paper, and wanted to soak a small part of the comfrey with sesame oil first, because if you want to make it in large quantities, the comfrey will definitely have to be soaked for a long time, so soak some first, and if you want to make it at that time, you can make it early. After getting everything ready, he took Lin Chen and Xiaojun out, locked the paste-making room, and said that he would wait a few days to see it.

Chen'er and Xiaojun didn't know what Lin He was using to make this thing, it was not the same as soap, Lin He told them that this thing was a good thing, it could reduce inflammation, relieve itching, analgesia and many other effects, as well as moisturize the skin, if you were bitten by mosquitoes in summer, apply some comfrey cream. It won't itch anymore, Chen'er and Xiaojun think this is good, there are usually a lot of mosquitoes at home. If you bite into your body, it will be a big bag, and you can't help but scratch it with your hands, and it will be easy to scratch the skin.

After almost a month, when Lin He was sure that the effect of this comfrey paste was really good, he called Hongyun and Zhou to make the comfrey paste that he had soaked last time. In the past few days, Lin He asked the whole family to try it, and they all said that the effect was very good.

Last time, Lin He soaked a pound of comfrey. Compared with other medicinal herbs in the same column, the box of comfrey paste I made last time was about 30 grams, and some other medicinal herbs were added. The cost of a box of comfrey paste is about 20 Wen, and I plan to sell it for 300 Wen, except for all the expenses and consignment fees, and the income is about the same as soap. Lin He also felt that it was okay.

Lin He knew that it was okay to sell it more expensively. But my original intention is to launch some affordable products, so that most people can use them, so that although it is cheap, most people can buy it, sell more, and naturally make more money.

It is said that this kind of similar paste is also available at this time, probably because the materials used are more expensive. So the price is also very expensive, basically only used by some wealthy families. Lin He made things that he wanted to take the route of civilians. After all, at any time, there will be more ordinary people than rich people.

Lin He has arranged everyone's work positions, and now Chen'er and Xiaojun are basically working together, or burning the fire, Lin He is just moving his mouth and getting everything right, such as stirring These things are all done by Hongyun and Zhou, anyway, Lin He people have little strength, so it's better to let them do it.

In the end, Lin He calculated a pound of comfrey, with the same ratio of medicinal materials, a total of forty-five boxes of comfrey paste came out, Lin He calculated the account, the cost of comfrey is sixty-five Wen, plus the cost of other medicinal materials and boxes is about to add up to one or two silver, each box sells for three hundred Wen, can be sold for thirteen taels of silver, which is a lot of profit.

Lin He calculated the account, the most expensive cost is the box, all his boxes are ordered in that store, originally Lin He also wanted to reduce the price with the store, but the store said that there was no money left, and refused to reduce the price, Lin He felt that this was too cost-effective, the wood at this time should not be expensive, if he could directly order wood, and then find someone to make these wooden boxes by himself.

Since selling soap, Lin He went to customize the wooden box without using mahogany, these things are not very profitable, if you use such an expensive wooden box is indeed a little cost-effective, customized are some ordinary materials, but also painted, the price is cheaper than mahogany, this time the comfrey paste is also used ordinary materials.

Lin He thought that this was something like mahogany that was not available everywhere in ancient times, and it made sense that it was expensive, but these wooden boxes were made of ordinary wood materials, and they could be made by themselves, as long as they found someone to do it.

Speaking of making these things, he must find Uncle Li's house, these are the best he knows, and Uncle Li is also a good candidate, as long as there are channels to enter the wood, and then the cost of the workmanship here will be discussed with Uncle Li, I believe it is much cheaper than buying it himself, but Lin He also has to ask Uncle Li to see how much he can save by making wooden boxes.

The main thing is that these things made at home need boxes, and they are all customized, some are expensive, especially these cheap things, if this book is too expensive, it will not be cost-effective, Lin He plans to send the comfrey paste to the town tomorrow and go to Uncle Li's house to ask.

The next day, Lin He sent the comfrey paste and the prepared soap to Cai Diexuan, this time the delivery was very smooth, I didn't meet Wen Ningmo's little guy, Uncle Wen was also there, I didn't wait, I directly told Uncle Wen the price of this comfrey paste, and went home after settling the money for the soap sold last time.

When he got home, Lin He took out the money he had saved in the past few months and counted it, almost more than seven hundred taels, since the beginning of the summer, the balm has not been easy to sell, but the soap does earn almost a hundred taels at the best time of the month, and there are almost seven hundred taels in these months plus the previous one.

Lin He also calculated, if he made his own wooden box, if the general wood could be cut back in the mountains, he would not need money to get the raw materials, as long as he had some money to buy paint and the money for Uncle Li, Uncle Li alone could do about fifty boxes a day, and each box would be given one penny, so Uncle Li could earn one or two or five dollars of silver a month, which should be considered good.

These timbers can be cut by their own family, and they can let the uncle and uncle cut them, and add 200 yuan a month to them as monthly money. Uncle Li only needs to do it, but the box has to be carved and painted, Uncle Li is afraid that he can't do it alone, if he still invites a person, he will also give a monthly fee of one or two silver, and the paint will not cost much, so that the monthly expenditure is about three taels of silver.

Three taels of silver can make 1,500 boxes a month, and if you buy it yourself, it will cost almost 20 taels, and 240 taels a year is definitely calculated, and Uncle Li's person also believes it, and the craftsmanship of carpentry is also good, and Uncle Li's family has always been very good to his own family.
