Picking up the porcelain bottle on the stool and taking a look at it, Shen Li knew that it would take a while for the water and oil to separate.

She put the bottle down again and hurried out of the house. It was really too hot. Standing in the yard, she felt the air was fresh and took a deep breath in comfort.

"Have you started using it? What's the result? Is it considered a success?"

Shen Li saw that it was Shen Liang, who was looking at her with a curious look: "The process was very successful, but it will take a while to know the result."

Shen Liang nodded.

At this time, Liu Dahua also came out of the house: "Why is it so hot? Your face is red as if it's been cooked."

"I had to heat that thing up, so that's it."

"It seems that we can't stay in the house after all. How about we move out?"

"Mom, we can't be seen. We have to keep it a secret."

"What should we do then? If you keep using it, will your house still be habitable?"

Shen Li also knew this, but she was short of money now, otherwise she could have built a special house to store the equipment.

"How about this, Mom will move in with you, and my room will be perfect for you to make those things."

"Mom, are you telling the truth?" If so, doesn't it mean that Liu Dahua completely accepts her?

"Of course it's true. Okay, let's move tomorrow." He wiped the sweat off Shen Li's face.

Shen Li let her wipe it, looking so happy that if he had a tail, it would have been shaking up to the sky.

It should be about time, so she went back to the room, dipped the chopsticks into the porcelain bottle, and sure enough, the top layer was oil, so the bottom should be water, or pure dew.

She put the chopsticks to the tip of her nose and smelled it. There was a fragrance, which was much stronger than the fragrance of the petals, but it could only be considered a light fragrance. The taste was nothing special, just a bit like ordinary herbal scent. This wild chrysanthemum was really not suitable for making perfume.

She took a large bowl and poured out the essential oil and pure dew in the porcelain bottle. After letting it sit for a while and the oil and water separated, she scooped out the essential oil with a spoon and put it into a small medicine bottle she had bought in advance. The bottle was also made of porcelain, but the mouth of the bottle was very small. She then plugged it with a wooden stopper, so the smell would not escape this time.

Shen Li didn't know what to do with the remaining hydrosol, so she simply used it herself. Her skin was a little dark anyway, so she just used it as a skin care product.

She took the small bottle and went out of the house, and saw that the four people in the family were there, especially Shen Liang, who had been waiting for her results.

"How is it?" Shen Liang asked anxiously.

"It succeeded, but the materials are not good. They are not what we want. However, the device is fine." Shen Li opened the small bottle, poured a little essential oil on his hand, and then let several people smell it one by one.

"Yes, very fragrant." Shen Liang said.

"It seems to have some grass and wood fragrance, and a slight floral scent." Shen Han said.

"It's just a little bit of fragrance. What's the point of doing this?" Shen Xing said.

"Ali is amazing. If I apply this on clothes, will they smell good?" Liu Dahua said.

Sure enough, only women can draw inferences from one example and learn without any instruction when it comes to beautiful things.

"Yes, this is just something I extracted from wild flowers. The smell is very ordinary. If it were made from other flowers, it would definitely be more fragrant. Think about it, we are poor, so we dress like this, but rich people will definitely try different ways to be more beautiful. This is definitely their weapon. When I make a different scent, applying it on clothes will be the same as having your own body odor. Who wouldn't like it?"

Liu Dahua agreed: "Yes, there will definitely be a lot of people who like it."

Shen Han and Shen Liang both nodded.

Shen Xing was surprised: "Is it still possible?"

"That's because you don't care about your appearance, Third Brother. Anyone with a little money here will dress up to look as beautiful and suave as a fairy when they go out."

"A Li is right. We in Qi Dynasty are very pursuing instruments. But even if you make this, how are you going to sell it?" Shen Han raised the key question.

Shen Li's excitement was suddenly dampened as if by a bucket of cold water: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Liu Dahua patted her comfortingly: "Don't worry, you can think about it slowly."

Shen Li nodded. Now he could only take things one step at a time and make the perfume he wanted first before worrying about sales.

When she returned to the room, the heat had dissipated a lot. Shen Li lay on the bed, lost in thought. Two large baskets of flowers were used to extract only such a small bottle of essential oil. The cost was really high. Alcohol was also needed for extraction, and most importantly, packaging, not to mention other miscellaneous expenses. She was thinking too well. With her current financial and human resources, it would be very difficult for her to make perfume.

But if I give up, I will feel unwilling.

Suddenly she had an idea and sat up from the bed. She could make ointment, which would be cheaper than perfume and most importantly, easier to package. There was no glass here, so it was really a big problem to put perfume in bottles.

Her brain quickly started thinking about what was needed to make the ointment. First of all, it must be essential oils, and then some base oils and beeswax. She saw honey being sold in the market, so beeswax should be able to be found, but what base oil should be used?

In the past, when she was in the grain and oil store, she only paid attention to cooking oil and didn’t see if there were any other oils. She would have to go into the city to check tomorrow.

With new hope, Shen Li's melancholy dissipated, but it didn't mean that she gave up on perfume. She would start developing it again when she had more money in the future.

Early the next morning, Shen Li and Li Erya went to the mountain they had mentioned yesterday. Sure enough, there were lilac flowers and several large lilac trees. Some of the flowers on them had already withered, while others were still blooming. Only the fragrance of lilac flowers could spread so far.

The two of them picked the fresh ones and soon filled two large baskets. Under one of the trees, Shen Li actually found two small pepper trees. She quickly picked two bunches and put them in the basket.

When I got home, it was almost noon.

Seeing Li Erya put down the basket and was about to leave, Shen Li hurriedly stopped her: "Sister Erya, you can eat here at noon. I will cook for you myself. I guarantee you will want to come back for more after eating this time."

Li Erya hesitated: "Forget it, I'll go home and eat."

Shen Li knew that she was not a shy person. If she refused like this, she must have thought that there was nothing to eat at home and that food was in short supply: "Sister Erya, I have food at home. It's not much for you alone. Listen to me and stay."

Li Erya couldn't refuse the enthusiastic Shen Li, so she agreed.

At this time, Shen Xing came out with a wooden sword and demonstrated.

"Third brother, where did you get your wooden sword? Did second brother make it for you?"

"Of course. Look at this wooden sword. It's so well made. Second brother's craftsmanship is really amazing." Shen Xing touched the wooden sword lovingly.

"Of course, my second brother is amazing."

"cut."

"You cut it again, believe it or not, I'll tell mom?"
