I trade in both worlds

Chapter 149 Picking up the goods

Liu Fu watched her tilt her neck back and watch her demonstrate in the air how to apply the essential oil. His lips turned into an "O" shape in shock.

He had never seen a woman do things so... well... so casually.

After Xu Ziqing finished demonstrating, Liu Fu came to his senses and cleared his throat awkwardly: "Are the ways to apply essential oils similar?"

Xu Ziqing nodded: "Essential oils can also be used for bathing. Just drop seven or eight drops into the bathtub. Essential oils can also be used during massage."

According to her, essential oils have many uses. In Liu Fu's opinion, what the ladies in wealthy mansions care about most is their face. If this product can really improve skin problems, there is no need to worry about the lack of a market for it.

"So, how do you plan to sell these two prescriptions?"

Xu Ziqing pondered for a while. He decided that he would be able to make pure dew and essential oils sooner or later, although the tools were not right and the amount would not be much.

But tools can be improved. As long as you are willing to try, with the wisdom of the ancients, it probably won’t take long to make something similar.

"I don't want much, just five thousand taels." Xu Ziqing offered with a smile.

Liu Fu frowned, the price was too expensive.

Xu Ziqing glanced at him and continued, "Don't think this price is expensive. I will give you the improved tools and a pound of rose seeds."

Liu Fu's frown relaxed a little: "Do you have any samples? I'll send someone to take a look at the boss first. I can't make the decision on such a large amount of money."

Xu Ziqing nodded in understanding: "Yes, I will send it to you tomorrow."

"That's fine." Liu Fugang nodded, then remembered that he hadn't discussed the delivery issue yet, so he continued to ask, "What are you going to do with the lip balm? Should I ask someone to pick it up, or will you deliver it to me?"

Xu Ziqing looked at Liu Fu with a smile: "Butler Liu, we can do whatever is convenient for you."

Liu Fu pondered for a while and asked, "I'll arrange for someone to go and pick up the goods. When can I pick them up at the earliest?"

Xu Ziqing calculated: "It will be about three days later. Our goods have not been packed yet. They are all in small jars at home."

"That's perfect. I have some boxes here that can be used to store lip balm. You can calculate how many boxes you need and I'll ask someone to send them to you later." Liu Fu said.

"What size are your boxes?" Xu Ziqing was more than happy to ask, as it would be an extra expense for them to buy the boxes themselves.

Liu Fu waved to the boy at the door and said, "Go and bring a box over for the two girls to see."

After the servant left, Liu Fu continued, "I will bring people to your house to install it in seven days. By then, the boss's message should have arrived. Once we have dealt with it, we will set off directly back to the capital."

The wooden box provided by Liu Fu was very heavy and not very big, but very thick. It was estimated to be about 60 cm long, 30 cm wide and 45 cm deep.

The inner walls of the box were padded with silk cloth wrapped in cotton. Xu Ziqing reached out and touched it. She estimated that the thickness of the box was almost five centimeters, and the internal dimensions of the box were reduced by about five centimeters.

There are also jars. The diameter of a jar is about five centimeters and the height is four centimeters. Each jar must be packaged separately, so the size of each jar must be increased by at least one centimeter.

By this calculation, a box can hold about 300 cans at most, so it may take twelve boxes.

"General Manager Liu, I calculated that one box can only hold about 300 pieces, so we need about 12 boxes."

Liu Fu waved his hand and said, "I will arrange for someone to send you fifteen boxes tomorrow. The remaining boxes can be kept for yourselves."

"Master Manager Liu is very generous." Xu Ziqing thanked him with a smile: "Then we will leave first."

Liu Fu nodded, stood up and saw them out. Xu Ziqing and Xu Xu left the backyard and came to Jinxiu Pavilion to say hello to Sister Feng, and then they left.

After walking away, Xu Ziqing pulled Xu Xu towards the porcelain shop: "Let's go buy two small porcelain bottles to store the hydrosol and essential oils."

Xu Xu asked casually, "Why did you suddenly sell the recipe? I thought you were going to sell the recipe and the goods together like you did with the lip balm."

"The recipe for pure dew also requires boiling the flower petals. Who knows if they will find out while boiling it, so I decided to sell it and be done with it." Xu Ziqing explained.

That makes sense, Xu Xu nodded.

"Besides." Xu Ziqing continued, "If we sell it next time, we will have to trouble Sister Feng to go to the capital again. Let's deal with it while Liu Da is here."

Chatting all the way to the porcelain shop, Xu Ziqing chose two mini big-bellied bottles, each of which had an estimated capacity of about 200ml.

"When we get back, boil all the rose petals in the refrigerator into pure water and essential oil." Xu Ziqing said, holding up the porcelain bottle in his hand.

"Okay, let's do it when we get back." Xu Xu agreed.

After buying the porcelain, on the way back, Xu Ziqing suddenly asked: "Xu Xu, these jars are fragile. What should we use to wrap them to prevent them from breaking during transportation?"

Xu Xu nodded: "You can wrap them tightly with soft scraps of cloth, and then stuff the box with straw."

Xu Ziqing was a little worried: "Where can I find so much cloth and straw?"

"Straw is easy to get. I can find it by going around the village. It's mainly rags." Xu Xu was also worried.

"The scraps of cloth are easy to deal with. You can buy anything on the universal shopping website." Xu Ziqing smiled, pulled Xu Xu to quicken the pace, and went back to prepare the things they needed.

Xu Ziqing found that the local delivery app had scraps of cloth for sale, so he quickly placed an order and waited for the courier at home, and also went to the kindergarten to pick up a few children on time.

Xu Xu went to the village in Dayunchao to look for straw, and stayed up late at night to make pure dew and essential oils.

After two days of hard work, the lip balm was finally packed into boxes. Each pottery jar was carefully wrapped with straw and rags to ensure that it would not be broken during transportation.

Seven days later, Liu Fu personally brought two cars to Xu Xu's house. Standing in the yard, looking at the twelve neatly arranged wooden boxes, he nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Ziqing welcomed Liu Fu into the main hall. Xu Xu brought a bowl of honey water and placed it in front of Liu Fu. He said embarrassedly, "Liu Dazhangguan, I'm sorry. We don't have tea leaves in our farm, so I made you some honey water."

Liu Fu smiled and shook his head: "Honey water is also a precious thing, much better than tea."

After saying that, he took a sip of the honey water, put down the bowl, pulled out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Xu Ziqing: "Miss, our boss agrees to buy your prescription. Take a look at the contract and sign it if there is no problem."

Xu Ziqing took out a copy and handed it to Xu Xu. She read it carefully and found that it was the same as the previous deed of lipstick, except for the items being sold and the amount.
