After Li Erya finished her oath, she looked at her family.

Li Daya and Li the Hunter's mother also raised their hands, ready to swear.

Shen Li hurriedly said: "No, no, I believe you."

"A Li, I know you and Erya are good friends, but I still have to say something ugly in advance to avoid conflicts in the future that will affect your relationship." Shen Liang said.

Li Erya also said: "Ali, your second brother is right. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Some things can be explained clearly to save a lot of trouble in the future. I know what you mean, so don't worry about it."

At this time, Li Daya and the others behind him began to swear: "We swear that we will never leak the secrets and will never betray. If we break the rules, we will die miserably."

Shen Li felt uncomfortable with such an oath. The ancients usually attached great importance to oaths. This was like a gentleman's agreement: "Sister Erya, I didn't want you to swear. If you do this, I..."

"Ali, we are not forced to do this. You don't have to mind it, and you don't have to feel uncomfortable. We have to work with you and naturally have to provide you with protection. This will make us feel more comfortable. Okay, this matter is over, and let's talk about our monthly salary."

Shen Li knew that she wanted to change the subject, but now there was nothing she could do: "How about five taels per person?"

"Do you think I don't know the market? A normal servant only gets two taels a month. You don't have to pay that much."

"Then let's put it this way. The normal monthly salary is two taels. The three taels will be my bonus to you. Don't refuse it."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"When do you start working?"

"Wait a minute, I'll tell you before we make the ointment." After that, Shen Li said to Li the Hunter, "Uncle Li, can you ride a horse or drive a carriage?"

"Yes, I used to raise horses, but after my father passed away, I sold them."

"okay, I get it."

Everything was discussed smoothly, and Shen Li left with Shen Liang.

When he got home, he called Shen Xing and Shen Liang together: "Second brother, third brother, what are the counties around us?"

"Hua County, Meng County, Fengshan County, and then there is Xiezhou where we are." Shen Xing said.

"Are these the closest to us?"

"Correct."

"Do you want to expand the ointment into these counties?" Shen Liang asked.

"Yes, now that our workshop has been built, we can't just sell to this one and leave the rest of the time. What if it takes a month to sell out? Do we have to wait a month? We must expand sales."

We can wait for the state capital and develop those three counties first.

"What do you want?"

Shen Li thought for a moment and said, "The old way is to write flyers and sell them while handing them out. Second brother, third brother, let's go to a county each and check out the situation there first. Find a suitable place to set up a stall, preferably in front of a rouge shop with lots of business. After you find it, remember the name and location, then come back and write flyers together."

"No." Shen Liang and Shen Xing said at the same time.

Shen Li was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"You can't go alone." Shen Xing said.

"It's okay." She couldn't be alone before because she was afraid that someone would deliberately cause trouble, but she should be safe for the time being, and she still knew some self-defense skills.

"No." Shen Liang said.

Shen Li was helpless: "Then I will go with my mother."

"No way." Shen Liang said.

"It's okay for mom to stay with you in our county, but it's not okay to go to other counties. It's peaceful here, but who knows what it's like in other counties. You and mom are both women, so it's still not safe." Shen Xing said.

Shen Li muttered: "I've been to Hua County, it looks quite peaceful."

"It still doesn't work, Ali, you look better now than before, but you should still be careful when going out." Shen Xing said.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"In my opinion, I'll go to Huaxian tomorrow. It won't cost me a day or two."

"But Third Brother, I think Hua County is dominated by flowers, so the situation may be different from other counties. It is more accurate for me to go and see it in person."

"Then wait until tomorrow and we'll go with you."

"Okay, you will go to Meng County and Fengshan County later. Be careful. If it is too late, stay overnight in the county. There is no need to rush."

"I understand. Don't worry about us." Shen Xing said.

Watching the two of them pack up and leave, Shen Li said something to Liu Dahua and also left.

"Qin Yu, are you there?" Shen Li called a few times, but no one answered, so he called Qin Yueying out instead.

"Ah Li, come in and sit down."

"Aunt, I have something to do, so I won't go in. Where's Qin Yu?"

"He went into the mountains to collect herbs early in the morning."

"Oh, I'll leave first."

Qin Yueying watched Shen Li come and go in a hurry, and said to herself: "What's the matter with this kid that makes him so anxious?" Then she went into the house.

Shen Li originally wanted to ask Qin Yu to go with her, but he was not there. He always used the excuse of picking herbs to fool people. He was just going to plan things with Chen Zheng.

It seems that she can't go to Hua County today. In fact, she can go there by herself, but it is still unsafe for a woman to go out here.

"Miss Shen, where are you going?"

"Guan Wenyi, where are you going?"

"It's okay, come out and get some firewood."

"If you're alright, could you give me a favor?"

"Okay, you say."

"Can you accompany me to Hua County?" Although he was a weak scholar, he was still a man after all, so it was good to pretend.

"What are you doing there?"

"For business matters."

"Okay, wait for me to bring the firewood back, then I'll pack up and come out." After saying that, Guan Wenyi hurried home. He knew that it was not in accordance with etiquette to accompany a woman on a trip, but he wanted to go.

The two men walked to the county, hired a carriage, and headed straight for Hua County.

It took less than two hours to reach Huaxian County. It was already afternoon. Shen Li looked at the people on the street. There were not many people. Even on market day, there would not be too many people in the afternoon. She asked the driver to find a herbal tea stall and wait for them there.

Then he went strolling with Guan Wenyi. This Hua County was indeed a flower-themed county. Flowers were displayed everywhere in the streets and alleys. Even the small stalls on the street had a few flowers in them.

I kept walking along the street and passed two rouge shops. One of them looked okay, but there was no stall in front of the door, and one of them had almost no one. These two were not my first choice.

Shen Li continued to stroll slowly, and Guan Wenyi did not disturb her at all, but just followed her silently.

After walking for a while, I saw two rouge shops, and they were next to each other. There were really a lot of rouge shops in Hua County. These two shops seemed to be competing with each other. There were quite a few people at the door. They were also on a busy street, and the whole street was filled with stalls, one after another.
