Chapter 221 Collecting Mint and Roses
As soon as the two managers left, the warehouse was instantly half empty again.
However, the two were not in a hurry now. The county where the two managers who came before were located was close to Yongding, and affected by their marketing strategy, the products would sell faster.
Judging from the two managers who came today, the sales progress in the slightly more distant counties is actually a little behind, so the time for transferring the goods will be correspondingly longer.
In this way, they will have more time to prepare the goods and don't have to be too anxious.
In the afternoon, the children also returned with Zhao Youwang's ox cart, with four more helpers.
So after preparing the toothpaste in the afternoon and handing it over to others, the two of them found the brand that Aji had brought yesterday and prepared to brand all the toothbrushes produced afterwards with Jiang's trademark.
This matter is not complicated. All you need to do is heat the soldering iron red and then put it on the toothbrush handle to brand it. I thought that I would let Li Shuhua and Chen Changan do it during the breaks in patrol, so I called two more people out.
There is nothing special about the Jiang family trademark, just the standard small regular script "Jiang Ji".
Aji customized five soldering irons, which are small and exquisite, just big enough to be used to brand toothbrush handles.
They lit a fire and waited for the soldering iron to heat up. They studied the position of the brand and then steadily pressed the red-hot iron on it. After waiting for two or three seconds, they took it away. The two square words "Jiang Ji" were printed on the brush handle.
Not to mention that the two words "Jiang Ji" written on paper look ordinary, but when they are branded on the brush handle with a soldering iron, they actually have a unique charm that becomes more and more attractive the more you look at it.
There is nothing complicated about this. Li Shuhua and Chen Changan knew how to do it after watching it once. They were very careful in their work. They took the two handles that Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin had branded and aligned them one to one before branding them.
The four of them worked on this for the whole afternoon, and they finished half of the work. This job was easy, but it required them to stay by the stove all the time, which was quite difficult in such a hot day.
Seeing that the sun was almost setting, Zheng Yuan took Tao'er home to prepare dinner. Since there was more buffer time, there was no need to rush. Today, I would eat something good and then go to work early.
When the children went out today, the two had specifically asked them to buy some vegetables so that Zheng Yuan and Tao'er could show off their cooking skills for dinner today.
So the children and the Chen family came back and saw two large tables full of food in the yard. Their jaws almost dropped.
Braised fish, spicy chicken, sweet and sour spareribs, twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, eggplant pancakes...
"Wow~ Mom! Sister Taoer, you guys are so awesome! It smells so good! It smells so good!" Sizhu rushed forward and kept waving his hands to wave the aroma of the dishes on the table.
"Xiang, go wash your hands quickly and come out to eat! Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, and children, you should also come and sit down quickly and eat while it's hot." Zheng Yuan looked at Sizhu with amusement and asked everyone to sit down.
Although this huge table had a great visual impact on everyone, they had also eaten several big meals in the past one or two months, so no one said anything.
After washing their hands, everyone sat down and couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and start eating.
In fact, most of the dishes on the table today were made by Taoer under the guidance of Zheng Yuan. The little girl is very intelligent. Zheng Yuan only needs to give her a little pointers and she will understand how to cook. She is simply a chosen chef.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin had thought about it before. This child has a rare talent in this area and she also likes it. When they have money in the future, they will buy a shop for her in the county town so that she can do what she likes and have a skill to rely on.
Everyone was very tired and hungry these two days. The only sound on the table was the clatter of dishes and chopsticks, occasionally mixed with a vague compliment.
Although they didn't praise the two too much, they were already very satisfied with the situation. There was nothing more joyful than receiving everyone's recognition for the dishes they cooked.
The words that come out of your mouth may lie, but the action of constantly putting the food into your mouth will not lie.
In the end, the two full tables were almost empty, and everyone looked very satisfied.
We got off work early today, and we don't need to get up so early tomorrow, so after cleaning up, the whole family sat around the stove in the yard, warming themselves by the fire and chatting, until the hour of Hai when everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, after the children went to school, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin still went to the workshop to work.
The two of them just took out the stuff today and put it in cans for others, and then they were ready to prepare the upgraded toothpaste.
The last time they asked Aji to customize green jars, pink jars and turmeric jars, the two of them have already considered making upgraded ones.
The green jar is used to hold mint-flavored toothpaste, which has the main effect of freshening breath and reducing inflammation and sterilization; the pink jar is used to hold rose-flavored toothpaste, which has the main effect of freshening breath and is aimed at female customers; and as for the turmeric-colored one, the two plan to pair it with a Chinese herbal toothpaste featuring Panax notoginseng, which has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying, reducing inflammation and calming the nerves, and is targeted at middle-aged and elderly customers.
Tian Qi has to go to the city to buy it. Today’s main task is to extract peppermint essential oil and rose essential oil.
Every household has mint. As long as two people say they want to collect it, the mint growing wildly by the ditch will turn into money, and someone will naturally come to deliver it to their door.
Roses are a little hard to get. Summer roses are expected to wither in this season. In the past two months, the two of them have not noticed whether there are roses here. They can only spread the news first. If someone can find it, it would be the best.
Having made up their minds, the two men arranged things in the workshop and headed straight for the fields.
At this moment, apart from the people who came to work here, most people were busy working in the fields. The two of them did not intend to trouble the village chief, and prepared to inform everyone themselves that they needed mint leaves and rose petals.
As soon as they walked into the fields, many people greeted them. Now everyone in the village knew that their business with Jiang Ji was booming, and the treatment in the workshop was good, so most people wanted to make friends with them.
The two old ladies who were hated by everyone two months ago seemed to have completely disappeared.
"Dear uncles and aunts, we are here today to ask if you can find mint and roses..."
"Mint is everywhere. If you want to eat some, just go to my house and pick some." Before she could finish her words, someone generously told them to just pick them themselves.
"Aunt, we're not here to eat. The thing is, we need roses and mint in our workshop, so just like we collected walnuts before, we collect them by the kilogram." Zheng Yuan explained.
"You want to collect mint and roses?"
"That's right. If you have any at home, you can send them to the workshop. By the way, we only accept fresh leaves. We won't accept the rotten ones."
"As long as the goods are good, we will charge eight cents per pound for mint leaves and ten cents per pound for rose petals. But if there are other things mixed in or if they are spoiled, we will not accept them."
Last time when they were harvesting walnuts, someone mixed moldy ones in, so this time the two of them made it clear upfront.
"Mint leaves at eight cents a pound? Rose petals at ten cents a pound? Big Tree Lady, Peach Lady, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's real. As long as the goods are good, just bring them to us."
After hearing this, everyone no longer cared about the things on the fields. They dropped their hoes and sickles and ran away quickly, fearing that the money would fly into someone else's pocket at night.
The two of them only felt a few gusts of wind blowing past them, and when they looked up, those who had been busy in the fields had already run far away.
