Chapter 26 Is there such an operation?

After finally comforting the old village chief, Liu Xiu simply expressed his thoughts directly, so as not to be so excited that the other party would be interrupted and make him at a loss.

"Old village chief, if the energy is turning into midsummer today, all kinds of mosquitoes have been breeding. I believe that whether it is an ordinary person like the villagers or a wealthy family in the town, they are bitten by mosquitoes when they are resting at night, so I decided to teach you how to make a burning incense that can remove mosquitoes. You can clean overnight by just clicking a plate at night. This kind of thing is easy to make and has almost no cost. The selling price can also be carried out on the affordable route. I think most people will not be stingy with that little money for a safe night of sleep. Sales should not be a problem. After all, there is no such thing on the market now. The whole village can participate in the making of this burning incense. Although it cannot be rich, it is better to exchange for some money to supplement the household income... "

That’s right, Liu Xiu decided to teach the villagers how to make mosquito coils!

Now even the easy thorns cannot easily pierce Liu Xiu's skin. Of course, he doesn't have to worry about mosquito bites, but when he sleeps at Lausanne's house these two days, mosquitoes cannot bite him, but he is not as buzzing as he is, so this idea has arisen in his heart.

The mosquito coil is simple to make, and the main material is mugwort that can be seen everywhere. Dry it and grind it into powder, mix it with toner and roll it into strips and dry it. Apart from the need for manual labor, there is no capital investment, so there is naturally no burden for the villagers.

After hearing what Liu Xiu said, the old village chief was happy, but hesitant: "Mr. Liu, mosquito bites in midsummer are indeed annoying, but most of them have methods to repel mosquitoes. One handful of mugwort can be used to repel mosquitoes by slapping it with a handful of mugwort everywhere. Can you really sell what you said when you burn incense?"

The Lausanne family had a bit of mugwort to repel mosquitoes at night, so Liu Xiu had expected the concerns of the old village chief, and smiled and said, "I know what the village chief said, but you also know that the smoke after igniting mugwort is too big. Not to mention mosquitoes, even people can't stay in the house, so the mosquito repellent effect is not ideal. The incense I want to teach you to make is that the green smoke will not make people feel smokey, and it lasts for a long time. It only takes one plate to manage it overnight. It is much more worry-free than wormwood repellent mosquitoes."

The last worry in his heart was gone, and the old village chief seemed very excited. Liu Xiu could live a prosperous life on the cliff of life and death. The old village chief had long regarded him as a hermit master in his heart. Now the master wants to teach everyone how to do it, and he thought it must have been decided, but he did not doubt much.

Seeing that the old village chief seemed to be about to get up and bow to thank him, Liu Xiu immediately interrupted him and said, "No need to delay, why don't the village chief take advantage of the early days and find a few villagers to come and make some of them to see the effect at night. If this method works, it will be made on a large scale later tomorrow. I wonder what you think?"

Of course, the old village chief had no objection. Don’t look at him. Now, facing Liu Xiu’s desire to teach everyone the capital to survive, he immediately left with great energy. Soon after, he attracted twenty or thirty villagers, and even asked someone to stay outside the yard of the Luosang family to prevent the production method from leaking out.

Liu Xiu didn't say anything about this, but just kept everyone busy preparing the materials.

Mugwort was everywhere, and soon the villagers cut a lot of charcoal in their tenderness, and they were all equipped with them. In half an hour, a lot of the two main materials were prepared.

However, the newly cut mugwort cannot be used to make mosquito coils immediately. If it is dried, it may take a day to delay. My thoughts flashed, and Liu Xiu thought of a better way with an idea.

The villagers were asked to chop the mugwort, then put it in a jar and mash it into a mud-like paste, then pour the paste on a piece of gauze and squeeze out the juice. Then the villagers were asked to smash the charcoal, because there was no fine sieve, so they could only use the gauze to filter it into fine powder again.

In this way, the main materials are ready.

Then, Liu Xiu did not use water, but directly used mugwort juice to remove charcoal powder. After it was dry and thin, he rubbed it into strips with his fingers, plated it into circles and placed it under the sun.

The production method is very simple. Liu Xiu only did it once and the villagers learned it. Although they didn't know how the effect was, they all started to do it in a conscientious manner.

Because it is a mosquito coil made of mugwort juice, the eyes look dark blue after drying, not purely black, and it looks quite good.

The sun is rising and the hot sun shining, the first batch of mosquito coils made has dried up. Because they are rubbed by hands, they naturally cannot be considered beautiful. When the eyes look at the ugly-looking mosquito coils, the villagers have some doubts that such a simple thing can really have such a good mosquito repellent effect? ​​The main thing is that it is really sold for money?

Holding the finished mosquito coil in hand, Liu Xiu looked at the old village chief with a nervous look and said, "Why do you want to experiment first?"

"It's not dark yet, how can I experiment?" The old village chief said in a puzzled manner. In fact, he wanted to get the results immediately.

After inspecting the surroundings, Liu Xiu asked: "I wonder if anyone in the village raises cattle?"

"Although our village is poor, there are still several cattle-raising families. Mr. Liu asked what he did?" the old village chief asked in confusion.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Although it's broad daylight, there must be many mosquitoes and flies in the cow pen, right? Can you just click a plate and try the effect?"

This was a good idea, and soon someone took the mosquito coils with him. Liu Xiu did not follow him and was still very confident about the mosquito coils he made.

"The mosquito coil is lit..."

"Sure enough, there was not too much smoke, and the mosquitoes and flies gradually flew away..."

"Mosquito coils are still burning, and there are very few mosquitoes and flies in the cow pen."

"It works, there are no more mosquitoes and flies, and no mosquitoes and flies are flying in!"

"That plate of mosquito coils can burn at least for most of the day. There shouldn't be any mosquitoes and flies in the cow pen for most of the day..."

Because it is related to the livelihood of a village, people are very concerned about it, and people come to report the results almost every few minutes.

When the effect was realized, the villagers were excited. As Liu Xiu said, there was not that much annoying smoke, which lasted for a long time. Just lit a plate and no longer had to worry about mosquito bites at night.

Such a magical thing, I think no one can refuse to spend a little money to buy a plate of lights to get a night of purity?

Liu Xiu found that the villagers around him were all red in their eyes. He wanted to make a large scale immediately, and his eyes looked at Liu Xiu even more fanatical.

For fear that they would kowtow and bow to thank him, Liu Xiu immediately said: "Since it works and everyone knows the production method, then start preparing the materials next, and you have to make money on it in the future."

"Slow down!" When the villagers around were eagerly preparing to leave, the old village chief shouted and stopped everyone, and then said with a serious look: "Mr. Liu knows how to make the mosquito coils that Mr. Liu taught everyone. With my decades of life experience, this thing must be sold for money, but everyone will listen to me. This is the lifeblood of the whole village. If anyone is a rumor, don't blame me for removing the genealogy. Do you know?"

Seeing the villagers swearing and saying that it was not out of the story, Liu Xiu shook his head in his heart. Once this thing is launched, it will take a long time to produce a copy. After all, the materials are simple, but no one thought of it before. Liu Xiu had already had concerns about this.

While the villagers couldn't wait to prepare the materials to make mosquito coils, Liu Xiu once again talked to the old village chief.

"Village Chief, the things have been made, and you can see the effect. The next thing is how to sell it," said Liu Xiu.

"Just take it to the town and sell it, how do you sell it?" the old village chief said in surprise.

Shaking his head, Liu Xiu said: "It's not that simple. After all, this is a new thing. If you take it rashly, someone may not buy it."

"What should I do?" The old village chief thought, so he became anxious.

"It's easy to do. In this way, we need some materials here, and we should be able to make one or two hundred plates. Such a big sun can be dried soon. Next, you arrange for the villagers to take the dried mosquito coils to the town to deliver them to those slightly rich families, explaining the effect. They will not refuse the things they give for free. Once they have used them, they will feel the effect. After fermenting overnight, word of mouth, it should not be difficult to sell mosquito coils tomorrow." Liu Xiu gave the village chief sales strategy.

The village chief thought that it was the same. This method was good, so he immediately agreed to ask someone to step up the production and take it to deliver it in the afternoon.

Not long after, the old village chief found Liu Xiu worriedly and said, "Mr. Liu, this mosquito coil is simple to make. If someone learns it, wouldn't we make a living?"

This is how to prepare for the future. Liu Xiu has to admire the old village chief who still has a long-term vision.

Then he said in a relaxed tone: "Mosquito coils are simple to make, and it is certain that they are imitated. It's just a matter of time. It's very simple to solve this problem. You just need to make a fuss about the quality of the mosquito coils."

"I'll ask Mr. Liu to teach me." The old village chief humbly asked for advice.

Liu Xiu also said without hesitation: "First of all, we can make mosquito coils more exquisite. There should be carpenters in the village? Let them make molds of the same size. At that time, you only need to pour the mosquito coil mud into it and you can quickly produce the same finished product. This is convenient and fast. If you can carve patterns on the mold, the mosquito coils will be even more exquisite."

"That's not all. When someone imitates mosquito coils to seize the business, we can add some other things to the mosquito coil, such as mint juice. In this way, the mosquito coils will smell cool and refreshing. For example, the juice of petals will burn with a floral fragrance. Follow this idea, in short, we want to make our mosquito coils better than others, so we don't have to worry about sales."

"At this point, I'm afraid the production of mosquito coils has spread, so the first step is to build a brand, engrave a unique mark on the mold, so that people remember from the beginning that our things are the best. In this way, in the future, people will think of our Linbian Village products at the first time when buying mosquito coils. They can also make exquisite boxes to hold mosquito coils, which are high-end at first glance. The price can be increased and sold to those rich families. After all, rich people like superiority and will not be stingy with money..."

After hearing Liu Xiu's series of plans, the old village chief was shocked. He thought about the problem of being imitated by himself, and Liu Xiu had already seen it for so long.

Otherwise, why do we say that they are hermit masters?

Having said this, Liu Xiu simply added a piece of hot news to him and said: "You can also let the villagers divide the work, let people cut mugwort, burn charcoal, crush it, and mud, and use molds to make mosquito coils, and sell them... In this way, the production efficiency of a plate of loose sand will be at least ten times higher than that of everyone. At that time, if there are too many mosquito coils on the market, we can lower the price and sell them to the market. After all, this thing is a consumable and you will never worry about sales..."

After telling the old village chief about assembly line operations and low prices to impact the market, Liu Xiu stood up and left. Liu Xiu was stunned by the old village chief alone.
