After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

Making perfume here is definitely not like it is now, with so many scents, so many materials, and so much equipment.

The perfume made here can only be considered as homemade perfume in modern terms.

The first step is distilled water. This is simple. She has the distillation equipment. She can distill distilled water by just adding clean water.

It took less than an hour to produce distilled water.

What was left was alcohol. Shen Li took out a jar of rice wine from home and used the distillation equipment. She tasted the wine and found that the alcohol concentration was a little higher, so she distilled it again. This time there was only one bowl left, and it was stronger than last time. She couldn't estimate the alcohol concentration, but it should be not low.

When the quantity is large in the future, it can be distilled again, but it cannot be distilled indefinitely. It is estimated that at most 70 to 80 percent would be good. But she doesn't know how many times it will be needed to reach that degree.

You can try it slowly in the future.

She had saved a little of the essential oil from before, and now everything was ready.

She needs to adjust this ratio slowly.

Distilled water and alcohol are the most needed, while essential oils are the least. However, during the experimental stage, use small amounts of everything.

Shen Li began to try one bowl after another, putting how much distilled water, alcohol, and essential oil in each bowl, and seeing how they smelled.

Finally, all the ingredients were used up, and she managed to produce something that smelled okay. She had already stirred and blended it thoroughly, and now it needed to sit for a while, and she would come back to check it then. To prevent evaporation, she found a medicine bottle, poured the ingredients in, and sealed the bottle.

She is only using one essential oil now, and if it is successful in the future, she will try more scents.

……

At noon, Shen Xing and his three companions found an inn and prepared to have lunch.

Who knew that just when he reached the door, a person was pushed out, stumbling. If he hadn't helped him, the person would have definitely fallen.

"Brother Xiaoer, why are you pushing people?" Shen Xing said dissatisfiedly.

The person who was pushed was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked very shabby, with messy hair, patched clothes, and a long beard on his face, showing that he hadn't shaved for a long time. He was also holding a wine jug in his hand.

"Sir, you don't know that this guy always comes to my place to drink and has already owed me a lot of money for drinks. Our store is also a small business and we really can't afford his credit. That's why the shopkeeper asked me to kick him out."

Although Li Erya and her sister looked reluctant, they were not well-off and naturally had no way to help. Besides, there were many people like them and they could not just help them when they saw them.

But Shen Xing had a chivalrous heart: "Get him a pot of wine first, and put it on my account."

The waiter nodded and bowed hurriedly: "Okay, sir, I'll go get it for him now." Then he said to the man: "Fang Yazi, you have met a kind person. If you keep drinking like this, I think you will starve to death. Give me the wine jug."

The man handed over the wine jug, took the opportunity to look at Shen Xing for a few times, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

Li Erya, who was watching from the side, was a little dissatisfied. This man was too rude. His thanks were obviously perfunctory and not sincere.

Shen Xing also saw it, but he didn't mind. Everyone has difficulties. He just bought a pot of wine for him and didn't expect anything from him. "No need to thank me. Drinking too much is harmful to your health. Brother, you should drink in moderation."

The man looked at him and said nothing. At this time, the waiter came out with a wine pot: "Here, see if anyone else will buy you a drink next time. Also, pay me back as soon as possible."

The man took the wine jug and left without a word.

Shen Xing and the other three entered the inn and sat down. After ordering the dishes, Li Erya said, "Brother Shen San, you shouldn't help someone like that. He has no manners at all."

"Forget it, it's just a pot of wine, it doesn't cost much. What else do you want to eat? Order some more. Ali has already told us not to make do with it. He has to take you to have a good meal."

Hunter Li said hurriedly, "That's enough. If you order too much, it won't be wasted."

Shen Xing nodded and looked at Li Daya: "Sister Daya, how many boxes of perfume have we sold now?"

"One hundred and sixty-four boxes."

As Ali said, Li Daya was very talented in math. She sold so many and she remembered them so clearly: "I sold all these in the morning. It's much better than when I first came."

"Yes, but Ali said that this quantity is not as good as it was in our county. At that time, you could sell 200 boxes in a short time."

"Yes, but at that time it was sold in limited quantities and everyone was afraid that they wouldn't be able to buy it, so they were waiting to buy it. Now the situation is different, and such sales are already very good."

Normally, Li Daya doesn't talk much, but when it comes to doing business of selling ointment, she seems to become a different person.

"If we continue to sell for a while, things should get better. Ali asked me to check out the rouge shops in Meng County. They are almost done now. I think we may not have much time left to sell perfume."

The dishes were already served, and Li Erya said as she ate, "Sister, do you want to stay out and sell perfume all the time?"

Li Daya smiled embarrassedly: "I just think this is very interesting. Being a housemaid at home every day is not as interesting as this. I really like selling ointments."

"Even if you don't come to sell the ointment, you can still make it. Your maids probably don't have much time."

The two sisters chatted and laughed while they finished their meal. In the afternoon, they sold the remaining thirty-six boxes and set off back to Heike Village.

Ever since Shen Li asked the Li sisters to sell ointment, she discovered that Li Daya seemed to have a talent for business and was also good at arithmetic. She planned to train her because when her business grew bigger in the future, she would need such talents.

Every day, Shen Li listened to her report on how many boxes of perfume were sold, customer demand, and the progress of promotion. She felt that the analysis was very accurate and saved her a lot of worry.

After a few days, she found that even if she didn't deliver the goods to the rouge shop, the more than 2,000 boxes of ointment seemed to have no problem selling. With Shen Xing and the others running around, there were only 400 boxes left.

In the current situation, the ointment has become well-known in the three neighboring counties, so we don’t need to go there for the time being. We need to use up the stock in our hands.

The perfume she had made before was already good and smelled okay, which could be considered a success, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, so she planned to experiment more when she had nothing else to do.

She plans to keep this bottle for herself. The scent is much stronger than perfume and closer to flowers. It smells like real flowers in front of her. It is indeed better than perfume, but the fragrance does not last as long as perfume.

Cheng Xin was out of stock and sent someone to urge for delivery.

Shen Li decided to send these 400 boxes to her first to avoid out of stock.
