Then turn off the fire, and when it cools down, the beeswax solidifies into blocks and floats on the water.

Shen Li found a clean basin and put the beeswax in it.

Then she asked Shen Xing to wash the lilac flowers that she had picked earlier, and then fetched a bucket of clean water and put all of them in the room where the device was placed.

Everything was ready, Shen Li started the distillation, put the petals in the jar, started heating, watched the distilled essential oil fall drop by drop into the bottle, and could already smell the rich scent of lilac, which was really nice.

It took about an hour to finally complete the distillation. I took out the tea oil I bought and poured some into a bowl.

Shen Li smelled it and found it had a slight fragrance, but most people might not be able to smell it. The base oil was just right and the quality of the oil was also very good, without any residue or anything.

Then pour a few drops of essential oil into it and stir with chopsticks to allow the two oils to fully blend together.

Now is the time to use your sense of smell. Shen Li smelled the scent. If he wanted the fragrance to be stronger, he would add a few more drops of essential oil. If he wanted it to be lighter, he would add a few drops.

Now the smell is just right for her, but it may be bland to others, so she added a few more drops. It smells very fragrant to her, so it should be just right for others.

But Shen Li still added two more drops of essential oil, because if he wanted good sales, it had to smell good so that people would buy it.

After all, we are just starting now. Once everyone accepts the perfume, we can produce both light and strong scents.

After stirring, cut a small piece of beeswax, heat it to melt, pour it into the prepared oil, and continue stirring.

After it cools down, it will solidify into a paste. Shen Li follows the ratio of 3:1. She knows this because she read it in a book, which saves her the trouble of trying out the ratios.

About half an hour later, a white paste finally solidified in the bowl. Shen Li touched it with his fingers and smelled it. Yes, the scent of lilac was very strong. It was a success.

Shen Li went out with the bowl in his hand and shouted in the yard, "Mom, brothers, come out for a moment."

"What? Have you finished your stuff?" Shen Xing said quickly.

"Try it now, everyone put a little on your hand and then smell it."

Several people did as they were told. They also wanted to know what this thing was like.

The first person to speak was Liu Dahua: "Ali, this thing is good, very fragrant."

"Mom, this is how you use this thing. You can take some and apply it on the inside of your wrists and behind your ears. Then it will have its own fragrance." Shen Li said as he demonstrated.

"This is great. I wonder how many people will buy it, especially women. Who doesn't want to smell good?"

"Men can use it, too. I can make some incense suitable for men then."

"A Li is right, men can use it too. In our Qi Dynasty, both men and women love beauty." Shen Han said.

"So, brother, what do you think?"

"It smells really good, but I personally prefer lighter scents. This one is too strong, but it will definitely sell."

"Oh, what about you, second brother? What do you think?"

"Yes, it's a good thing. Some people are born with body odor or are willing to sweat. They can use it."

"Second brother is amazing. He can think of this." Then Shen Li looked at Shen Xing again: "Third brother, what about you? What do you think?"

"I think it's pretty good."

"Gone?"

"So what else? It's just good."

Shen Li was speechless: "Do you think you can use it?"

"Yes, I quite like it."

Shen Li didn't expect that someone with such a carefree personality would actually like beauty.

"Ali, are you going to sell it now?" Liu Dahua asked.

"Mom, not yet. The packaging is not ready yet. Do you know where to buy the boxes of rouge?"

"Mom has never used rouge, so I really don't know."

"I know there are special shops selling them in the county. I was curious, so I went in to take a look and found that there are many varieties, most of which are made of porcelain." Shen Liang said.

"Great, then come with me, brother."

"Okay, but that thing isn't very cheap. Do you have any money left?"

Shen Li was stunned, then smiled awkwardly: "No more." Then he said to Liu Dahua: "Mom, what month is it today?"

"June twenty-six."

"There are still four days before I can go to the pharmacy to collect money, and then I will have money."

Taking advantage of these few days, Shen Li called Shen Xing and Shen Liang to pick all the lilac flowers on the mountain, then distilled them into essential oils, and then made them into ointments.

Also, you have to find a place to sell flowers, because without the raw materials, it won’t work.

……

"Doctor Liu, I'm sorry. My period just ended. Is it convenient for you now? I really need money." Shen Li said embarrassedly as he entered Baohetang.

"Shen Li, I have already sold the Ganoderma lucidum. I don't know where you live, otherwise I would have sent it to you." After saying this, Liu Baohe took out ten taels of silver from the box and handed it to Shen Li.

After taking the silver, Shen Li returned the IOU to him: "It must have sold for a lot of money, right?"

Liu Baohe smiled.

Shen Li just exchanged a few pleasantries and didn't want to ask any more questions: "Then Doctor Liu, we have settled the bill, and I will leave first."

"Shen Li, if you have any medicinal herbs in the future, you can bring them to me."

"Yes." In fact, Shen Li was very grateful to him for accepting his medicinal herbs.

When she went out, Shen Liang was standing at the door waiting for her.

The two of them went directly to the place where rouge boxes were sold. The place was far away from the market, but very close to the county suburbs. If Shen Liang didn't know about this, he really wouldn't have been able to find such a place.

Shen Li went in and saw a man doing something, which seemed to be a jewelry box, without even raising his head.

"Go check for yourself if you need anything, then come back and ask me."

He is the boss? No wonder Shen Liang would come to such a place to watch people making things on the spot. Shen Li looked at Shen Liang and saw that he was staring at him.

Shen Li started to look around by himself. There were all kinds of boxes inside, including wooden jewelry boxes, rouge boxes, small porcelain medicine bottles, and even bowls and plates. Most of them were made of porcelain and wood.

When I walked to the rouge boxes, there were not many varieties. Some were patterned, some were solid colors, white, light blue, and light green.

They are generally of normal size. Shen Li estimated that the diameter is about eight centimeters. There are larger and smaller ones, but she needed a very small one, but she didn't see it on the shelf.

"Shopkeeper, do you have a very small rouge box?"

The man stopped what he was doing and walked up to Shen Li: "How small do you want?"
