Development 104

  Gold, even if it's just a few milligrams, can make the entire block of handmade soap appear in a kind of golden color that is very dazzling.

  "Golden soap!" Pang Hua looked at it for a full half minute before sighing. "Cut into smaller pieces?"

  "No, otherwise it's too expensive."

  Three hours have passed and I've just finished the first stage.

  "Next time it will be outsourced."

  "Hmm. But I don't quite believe they make high-end soap, and many customers, especially those from the club side, only recognize ours."

  "Alright, just like this for now. Anyway, it's not necessary to do so much every day."

  Because it's a new product, Chen Huisheng won't make too many, just this one batch.

  "Is this profit enough for us to have a good meal?"

  "Two meals then. Two people, two meals."

  The two of them exchanged a smile.

  "Buffet?" suggested Ponghua, "The one with 'chicken' cocktail?"

  "Alright." It's been several months since I last ate at that restaurant.

  "I'm going to book a seat."

  Chen Huaisheng has been thinking about the relationship between labor force, capital, business model and net profit.

  In addition, the efficiency of their manual labor on that day was very low. However, with two online stores and over a dozen product series, they had dozens of orders, with total profits slightly lower than their labor costs. But it's almost impossible for the two of them to produce works with such high total profits every day, so capital and business model still win out in the end.

  Well, now that we've reached a conclusion, let's relax and have dinner!

  However, more than three hours later, she was thoroughly stunned by Pang Hua's "preparatory work".

  "I've checked, this brand's lubricant is the best, most suitable, yeah, today."

  "Hmph, you've found quite a bit." Lian. Cough, why didn't she bring all the "equipment" to mess up the bed sheets... damn it, she's supposed to be the one in control!

  Luckily I had a buffet dinner in the evening and ate a bit too much, otherwise I would have been hungry by now with all this "activity".

  "Have you modified this 'flower' board? Haha, I just bumped it and didn't hurt."

  "Hmm. If you don't like being short, then go back."

  "No, I like this 'bed' mattress." A 1.8 by 2 meter large 'latex' mattress, with small storage cabinets of various colors on the sides, like building blocks. He had been drooling over this setup for a long time and finally got what he wanted! Hmm, pick a nice cabinet to put the sheets in. "Ah, sleep tight. Tomorrow we can sleep in till natural wake-up... The temperature here is really comfortable, and the quilt is especially comfortable." And it's also particularly large.

  Chen Huaisheng could do nothing but turn his back, switch off the light and rest.

  I'm so tired.

  Jiangnan has a long and cold winter.

  Nothing is more comfortable than staying in a warm and dry room when it's raining outside, holding a hot cup of tea with one hand and touching the cold glass window with the other.

  "Holidays are so comfortable... even working for a few hours is okay."

  Chen Hua Sheng used her hand that was washing vegetables to brush off someone's 'hairy' hand. She wasn't very comfortable, but not to the point of being weak. "Take the fish over there. Steam it for half an hour. From when the water starts boiling, half an hour... and also bring those wet clothes here for me to dry."

  "Oh." Pang Hua wasn't too enthusiastic about household chores, but he always completed the tasks assigned to him quite well.

  Chen Huaisheng took a look at the 'chicken' soup on the stove, then started washing rice and cooking. She used baking soda to wash the lettuce. Actually, she didn't like household chores either, especially hated cooking every day, but eating out was too greasy or not to her taste or too expensive. So sometimes she could only do it herself.

  Lower the air conditioner temperature and turn on the heater. Carefully place a few semi-damp clothes close by, watching as the water vapor rises.

  Pang Hua opened the door and came in. He insisted on coming over to her house for a spare key. Then he handed over his own as well.

  "I'm keeping a low fire going, and there's something steaming on the stove."

  "Good." Two fires were indeed a bit less, but increasing was not very realistic, as it would affect the entire kitchen.

  "Take the electric stove from the study tonight, anyway that stove is hardly used now."

  "Good!"

  "Eat hot pot at night."

  "Great!!"

  "...This afternoon you go buy vegetables. Remember not to buy that kind of hot pot seasoning that is all starch and flavorings, shrimp, fish slices, tofu, cabbage, anything is fine."

  "Alright."

  "Bring me your clothes. I'll dry them."

  In daily life, the first thing is to "make" food and eat, and the second is to clean up. If you don't eat ready-made food from outside, then after finishing these two things, a day's time will be almost spent. If there is still work, it's like working like an ox. If the mother-in-law picks on her a bit more or if one party's economic income changes slightly, she can easily collapse.

  So, the vast majority of so-called love is ruined in the daily household chores and various dissatisfactions with each other's families - of course, young people who throw everything to their elders and live without a care will taste another side of life outside warmth after middle age.

  Luckily, Chen Huai Sheng doesn't need to please his in-laws to get a peaceful life, nor does he care about eating out or having a dirty and messy home. Hmm, most importantly, Pang Hua is relatively obedient.

  Maybe in less than twenty years, he will thoroughly change his 'sex', but for now, life is still 'okay'.

  On the fifth day of the new year, Pang Hua was summoned to deal with the employment of graduates. This is a thankless task, but it must be done.

  "This is also doing a good deed. Besides, you staying in school was also helping out with the student affairs."

  "Yes, so half of my work time at school is related to them."

  Chen Huaixing just patted his shoulder and planned to kick him down the stairs if he stayed on the loft being annoying.

  "Oh, right, I chose this cabinet, it looks good, doesn't it?" He actually carried up two rustic-style short cabinets and insisted on putting them in the attic to store his clothes - the "bed" in his own house was used for dust accumulation. If she hadn't seen both sets of parents, her father and mother would definitely be furious about this behavior...

  He fed him, sent him out the door, Chen Haochen threw away the translation and a few documents, then spent more than an hour considering the content packaging and pricing of the golden skincare set. It may also involve inspection batch permits and so on, so he sent another email to the intermediary agency. Let them check if they need to do something.

  Things are really complicated!

  She quietly started "doing handicrafts" alone, and even lunch was solved by takeout. This simple and concentrated 'refined' light physical labor can relax people's minds and is not a bad way to make money in leisure time.

  After finishing a batch, hmm, improved and upgraded stuff - other people's upgraded version, generally means replacing expensive raw materials with cheaper ones to reduce costs, but here it's the opposite - higher cost, of course, the selling price also has to be raised.

  Panghua loved the scent of jasmine, so she worked hard to promote and flatter her, making jasmine essential oil body milk. She also gave up using the original fragrance, the overbearing evening primrose. Okay, jasmine is much cheaper than evening primrose. And sales performance proved that this single-formula jasmine essential oil body milk with high concentration and handmade hot-processed soap was very popular, so the workshop where she outsourced her business often had a refreshing sweet scent of jasmine flowers.

  What is meant by 'woman' is a pleasing self-contained whole, and that's about it.

  "Wow..." Pang Hua was stunned by the intense aroma of several types of "flowers" mixed together as soon as he stepped in. This, even if it's a fragrant thing, if the concentration is too high, it can be unbearable.

  "Have you eaten yet?" Chen Huan asked while wearing a mask at the sterile operating table.

  "I've eaten. They treated me to a boxed lunch." If he didn't even have work meals, he would blow up.

  "Go take a bath and change your clothes. Come over and give me a hand."

  "......Alright."

  Thirty minutes later, Pang Hua rushed in with a chill. Then he desperately found that it was even cooler here.

  "That oil tank is open, going over there - how did you come out with so little on?" These few nights have been sub-zero temperatures, and he's only wearing a sweater and a pair of fleece-lined pants.

  "I'm too lazy to turn on the air conditioner. I came over directly." Hmm, now it's much milder. But it's become much more beautiful. That... it's too beautiful! "What is this? It smells like perfume? Not what I smelled just now."

  "A classic Kiehl's fragrance. Musk, but I find it works well when combined with 'floral' scents."

  "Isn't perfume originally supposed to be a combination like this?"

  "Hmm, but this combination is more pure." Chen Hui-cheng filled a batch of 2ml small spray bottles and stuck on labels that read "Pregnant women prohibited".

  "There's musk inside." Pang Hua nodded. "Smells good."

  "Uh, small gift, not for sale. Uh, pack all these orders up. Little Zhang is off work, but we can't be."

  "Can you finish it today?"

  "That's all for now." Chen Heng pointed to a small stack of express delivery notes and sales orders. The dot matrix printer and printing software greatly reduced the labor and errors in writing addresses.

  "Oh, there's quite a few."

  After closing most of the windows, the air conditioner's effect came out.

  Warm air, mixed with sweet and enticing fragrance.

  After packing the last package, Pang Hua threw away the box and was extremely relieved that he had washed his face and brushed his teeth, otherwise he would have been kicked out of the door.

  Yeah, pregnant women are not allowed... it's really great. He went out and to the opposite neighbor Chen Xiao Cheng's place, turned on the air conditioner, then immediately wrapped himself in a quilt to avoid catching a cold.

  "Do you want to drink some protein powder?" Chen Huan also tidied up and came back, looking at him wrapped in a quilt on the thick pad on the attic, shaking his head.

  "Just finish it and I'll be hungry, hehe."

  "Do you want to watch TV?"

  "No." Even if I watch that kind of movie, it's on the computer, haha. Forget about brainless TV dramas.

  Quickly washing her face, brushing her teeth and taking a shower, Chen Huaiyang hesitated for a moment, only using the quick-absorbing 'milk' liquid and eye 'essence', as well as that jasmine 'essential oil' body 'milk', changed into pajamas and went up to the attic.

  "It's still that same scent that smells the best." He sighed, embracing her. This kind of gentle warmth was actually more attractive than intense emotions.

  "Hmm." The cost of that essence is more reasonable than the retail price of a big brand perfume.

  "Oh, your hair even smells fragrant!" He seemed to have discovered a new continent.

  "Hmm!" She added it to her shampoo, okay?

  “……”p
