Chapter 59: Making Hand Cream
Lin He knew that Aunt Xu was such a good person, and she came to her house to ask for something, and now she said this, as if she had helped her, so she also smiled sweetly, "Okay, but I can't pick it all at once, I'll pick two baskets first, and wait until a few days to pick some more, Aunt Xu don't get rid of the plum blossoms on the tree, it's useful." ”
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "I know, what He'er wants me to keep, I will definitely help you keep it." I won't let some naughty people take it off. After speaking, he also looked at Xiaobao and Ergouzi, and Ergouzi also scratched their heads and smiled.
Lin He took Chen'er to pick two baskets of plum blossoms and went back, Xiaobao played at Ergouzi's house, and said that he would let the eldest brother come back to pick him up later. When he got home, Lin He took Chen'er to put the plum blossoms in water and wash them, then let Chen'er light a big fire, and then take a clean pot from home and brush it with boiling water.
Lin He and Chen'er are two people, Chen'er is burning the fire by the stove, Lin He is stirring with a wooden stick in the pot, and the plum blossoms should be boiled into plum juice, the thicker the better.
The two of them tossed for a long time before boiling the two baskets of plum blossoms into plum juice, and around the same time Dabao also bought things and came back. Dabao bought dozens of small wooden boxes like that, all of which were ordinary lacquered wooden boxes, and Lin He asked Dabao to put the boxes aside.
Lin He asked Dabao to also come to help, so he burned the stove, heated the beeswax he bought, waited until the beeswax melted, poured the almond oil into the pot, and finally filtered out the dregs before putting in the plum juice and putting the plum juice.
The beeswax I bought was all used, there were four big bags, a large bucket of freshly squeezed almond oil, and a small bucket of fresh plum juice, three people boiled for a whole afternoon, and finally made the plum blossom paste, Lin He looked at the fruits of his labor, the paste was mixed with the color of plum blossom juice, revealing a faint and beautiful pink, which complemented the red lacquered wooden box very well, and put it in the nose and could smell a trace of plum blossom fragrance.
At this time, the cosmetics were all granular, Lin Chen rarely saw such things, and when he saw these things made by his sister, he thought that they could be eaten, and the plum blossom paste in the wooden box was crystal clear and the paste was indeed very beautiful, and it was indeed like something that could be eaten.
Lin He smiled and said, "It's not food, it's something that girls can use to wipe their hands and bodies, and if their faces are particularly dry, they can also wipe them, and after saying that, they scraped some down and wiped them on Lin Chen's hands." ”
Lin Chen put his hand to his nose and sniffed it, and said, "Sister, it's so fragrant, I want to use it." ”
Lin He asked her not to worry, let Dabao take out the wooden box she bought, and then put the boiled plum blossom paste into the boxes she bought, with more than forty boxes, and there were more than a dozen boxes left, Lin He asked Chen'er to put it away, and she could use it next time.
Because this time I just have the attitude of trying, so I just boiled a small amount of it, first try it with my own family, see how the effect is, and then take it out and sell it on consignment in a few days, because this plum cream does not contain any chemicals, so anyone can use it, children and adults and even pregnant women can use it, but it is much better than those cosmetics sold on the street.
Lin He gave a box to Lin Chen, kept a box for himself, and then took a box for Huang's family, so that they could use it once a day in the morning and evening, or when they felt that their hands and faces were dry, they could use it consistently, and they could see the effect in a few days.
Huang Shi took this small wooden box, saw the pink paste inside, smelled the fragrance of the paste, and was really happy, this is the first time Huang has used this kind of cosmetic thing, he has never used such a luxury before, let alone such a good one, even if it is the worst, he can't afford it, and ordinary rural women have never thought of using these.
But all women, from eighty old women to girls in the general horns, who do not want to be young and beautiful, women love beauty That is an eternal truth, even if people like Huang usually don't use these things at all, once they get these things, they are also happy in their hearts.
According to Lin He, Huang wiped some on his face and hands, and immediately felt that his skin was much smoother, his skin was not so dry, and there was a faint fragrance coming out. Lin He told them not to wipe their faces if they felt that they were not so dry after using it for a few days, otherwise their faces would be very oily.
He has a few boxes at home, Lin He plans to keep one box for Aunt Xu, and take out the rest to put Cai Diexuan on consignment. At this time, the very high-quality rouge costs a box of one or two silver, which is actually much more useful than rouge.
At this time, the rouge is very damaging to the skin, and the use of more skin is harmful and not beneficial, after using this, the skin will get better and better. However, this is a new product after all, and I am afraid that the price cannot be set too high, so I will temporarily pay 300 yuan a box.
If you put it on the consignment of Caidiexuan, Caidiexuan will charge 20% of the consignment fee, in addition to some raw materials and all the expenses, you can make a net profit of more than 100 yuan a box, if you sell ten boxes a day, it is a net income of one or two silver a day, then it is thirty taels a month, this is still the most conservative estimate, Lin He is very confident in his own thing, and after opening and selling, he will definitely sell more than ten boxes a day.
When a lot of flowers bloom in the spring, you can also make some flower paste with different fragrances, and then there is something to do.
After a few women in the family used it for a few days, Huang came over and said to Lin He, "He'er, this plum blossom paste you made is really good, the fragrance smells good, you can see that the cracked place of my hand is slowly getting better, and the skin seems to be a lot smoother, I think it must be easy to sell when I take it out and sell it." ”
Lin Chen also hurriedly said, "Yes, sister, this paste is so fragrant and beautiful, if you take it out and sell it for money, you will definitely make a lot of money." ”
Lin He already knew that this was the result, and he was not so excited as them, so he felt that it was time to take it out and sell it, so Lin He and Dabaodi took an ox cart to the town early in the morning to discuss the sale of this plum blossom paste.
When they arrived in the town, they got off the ox cart and asked Daddy Qin to wait at the gate of the town, and they and Dabao went straight to Caidiexuan, and when they arrived at Caidiexuan, Boss Wen was also in the store, and when they saw Lin He and Dabao coming, a smile appeared on their faces, and they came out, and said with a smile, "He'er, you haven't been to the town for a long time, why do you have time to come today?" ”
Lin He said to Boss Wen, "Yes, there are many things to be busy at home for the New Year, and my mother can't be busy alone, so I want to help her at home." I'm here today to ask Uncle Wen for some help. ”
Boss Wen raised his eyebrows, took Dabao and Lin He to the back room, and asked them what was the matter.
Lin He asked Dabao to take out the lacquered wooden box in the bag and give it to Uncle Wen, saying, "Uncle Wen, I'm idle at home, I made some plum blossom paste by myself, which is something used by women to make the skin smoother, and I want to put it here for consignment to you." ”
