After sleeping, Shu Ruyue woke up feeling much more energetic.
After eating an extra bowl of porridge, she could walk on her own now.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran was impressed with her good health.
If it were her, she would definitely be bedridden for a long time after this.
With Shu Ruyue as an example, Li Xiaoran suddenly felt that it was time for her to improve her physical fitness.
Previously, Luo Cheng had taught Li Xiaoran some body-strengthening movements. Although she practiced them often, she did not really take exercising that seriously.
Now that she wanted to practice seriously, her improvement was very fast.
While Shu Ruyue was recuperating, Li Xiaoran settled Li Xia and her son down.
Li Xia was good at doing business and could keep track of accounts.
Therefore, such a rare talent naturally had to be used.
The two shops by the official road were considered small-scale, so it was a little overkill to leave Li Xia there.
It would be even more inappropriate if she was placed in the farmstead.
Luo Cheng’s farm was used to settle some veterans who had gone up the mountain and was filled with men, so it was not suitable for Li Xia, a woman, to live there.
After thinking about it, Li Xiaoran felt that she had to start some other business.
The easiest target customer group to earn money from was naturally women.
Li Xiaoran no longer wanted to do food business. Instead, she wanted to venture into another industry.
Selling daily necessities was also very profitable.
For example, soap, shampoo, skincare products, and so on.
Li Xiaoran had once made soap during science class in the past, so she knew how to make it.
As for shampoo, she had tried to make some herself out of personal interest.
She even used the shampoo made from soap horn. The effects were very good.
In order to make the shampoo smell better, Li Xiaoran also added some aromatic plants to the shampoo.
The shampoo was aromatic and effective at cleansing hair.
As for skincare products, Li Xiaoran had never tried them before, but she had checked online in the past and knew what materials to prepare and how to make them.
Therefore, she only needed to make it again and test the effect.
Li Xiaoran planned to get the soap out first.
After Luo Cheng was done and came to look for Li Xiaoran, he saw her cooking something he had never seen before and pouring it into a wooden box.
“Wife, what are you looking at?”
“I’m making soap!” Li Xiaoran replied.
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he walked over and helped her. “This liquid can be made into something that can wash clothes?” Luo Cheng asked curiously.
“Yes! This has to be frozen in an ice cellar. After it takes shape, it can be taken out and cut into pieces. This is soap, which is used to wash clothes! Washing clothes with soap is much easier than washing clothes with a mallet!” Li Xiaoran explained with a smile.
Luo Cheng had washed clothes before, so he knew that it was very difficult to wash clothes.
Although washing a few clothes was not a big deal for martial artists, it was very difficult for women who did chores all year round.
Every family knew how to wash clothes, especially those who worked in the fields. It took them a lot of effort to wash clothes.
“Are you going to run a business selling this?” Luo Cheng asked after thinking of something.
After Li Xiaoran injected the soap liquid into the mold, she closed the lid and turned to look at Luo Cheng. “That’s right! I plan to open a soap workshop and sell soap to earn money! Not only soap, but I also plan to sell shampoo. In the future, we can use them to wash clothes and shower! They’re very effective at cleaning! ”
Luo Cheng felt that this business idea was very good, but they were going to the capital now, so they really did not have the time to prepare for this business!
Luo Cheng was afraid that Li Xiaoran would forget that they were going to the capital, so he reminded her.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s reminder, she laughed.
“I know! The reason I wante to make soap and shampoo at this time is to prepare for the future. I want to hand over the construction of the workshop to Li Xia and let her build this soap workshop. After we go to the capital to promote the business, the soap and shampoo can be sold!” Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Do you think Li Xia can set up a soap workshop?”
“I wanna try it! I think highly of Li Xia’s abilities. It’s won’t be a big loss for me if the workshop can’t be built, but I believe that Li Xia won’t let me down. When we return from the capital, Li Xia will definitely have the soap workshop established already!” Li Xiaoran said confidently.
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and reminded her, “Since you want to use Li Xia, you don’t have to appear in public yourself. This will save you a lot of trouble!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she quickly understood.
“You mean, don’t let any outsiders know that I own this workshop?”
Luo Cheng nodded and said, “If the soap you make is really as good as you say, I think there will be many people who want to work in the workshop. You and I are from the village, so it will be very troublesome to choose people. If you let Li Xia interfere, things will be much easier. You won’t have to worry too much about who to hire.”
“Also, I think it’s best to build your workshops separately. Don’t produce everything in one place. Otherwise, the gains won’t make up for the losses!” Luo Cheng paused and said, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. This way, if anything happens, we can deal with it in time!”
After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she felt that her man was right.
They couldn’t produce everything in Hele Village. They had to build workshops elsewhere as well.
Those with discerning eyes would definitely take a fancy to the daily necessities they produced.
At that time, Hele Village alone would not be able to produce that much, so they would have to build a few more workshops.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, ‘We’ll talk about this in the future! Let’s build the workshop in Hele Village first! Fortunately, this village is also where I was born and nurtured, so I hope my fellow villagers also live a good life. Of course, I won’t help just anyone. I’m not a fool. I won’t help people who aren’t worth it!”
“Alright, I’ll get Zi Yan to secretly cooperate with Li Xia. However, this way, it won’t be suitable for Li Xia and her son to live in our house anymore!” Luo Cheng thought of something..
