Shen Li sobered up a little: "Mom, it's getting late, go to bed."

Liu Dahua took off her coat and got on the bed: "Ali, don't bother with your second and third brothers. They are just used to giving in to Yanyan. I have already told them that they will not do that again in the future."

"Mom, I'm not angry with them. It's me who is unpopular. Do you think my brothers like Shen Yanyan?"

"How is that possible? Our A-li is so nice, who wouldn't like her? You are their biological sister. No matter how much I like Yanyan, I can't compare to you. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Shen Li turned over and hugged Liu Dahua: "Mom, you are still the best."

Liu Dahua patted Shen Li and said, "Go to sleep. You've been tired all day."

Shen Li let go of her and returned to his seat: "Good night, mother."

When Liu Dahua said this, she must have known what happened during the day and understood that she cared. It seemed that there was still someone who understood her and cared about her feelings.

She has now come to terms with it. Since there is no way back, she must work hard and move forward. One day, she will make everyone like her and protect her willingly.

The next day, after breakfast, Shen Li started distilling. Fresh flowers could not be stored for too long and needed to be processed as soon as possible. Shen Liang and Shen Xing kept helping her fetch water, wash petals, and add firewood.

Even Shen Han didn't read. He said he was taking a day off and helped her write some flyers for minor use.

What was there for Shen Li to not understand? They were just trying to coax her. It seemed like they didn't care about her that much.

"Second brother, go to the county and buy me some more rouge boxes from the shop you took me to."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Shen Li gave him four taels of silver and kept one tael for emergency use.

It took a whole morning to finally distill essential oils from all the jasmine flowers. In the afternoon, Shen Liang had bought the boxes, but there were only twenty of them. The remaining sixty had to be picked up tomorrow. Shen Li then remembered that she didn't make a reservation, but it didn't matter if she was one day late.

In the evening, Li Erya came to find Shen Li.

The two went to the river.

"Ah Li, are you still worried about meeting Shen Yanyan yesterday?"

"No, that matter is not worth my attention."

"I knew you wouldn't. When you liked Qin Yu before, you said you didn't like Shen Yanyan, but I don't think you like her very much now."

"Sister Erya, do you think she is a little pretentious?" Shen Li asked tentatively. She didn't know how others felt about Shen Yanyan, so she decided not to be too blunt.

"You mean she's pretentious? It seems a little bit. She used to be like this too. She couldn't stand being wronged and her eyes were always tearful, as if someone had bullied her. She was as fragile as a delicate flower, but now she's even worse than before."

"Sister Erya, with your personality, how did you get along with her during that time?"

"Are you making fun of me?" Li Erya picked up a handful of dogtail grass next to her and threw it towards Shen Li.

Shen Li caught it and swung it in his hand to play with it: "Are you overthinking it? I'm just curious."

“If you hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have felt it so strongly, but now…” Li Erya shuddered: “It’s okay.”

Shen Li found it funny to see her exaggerated look. Fortunately, not everyone was on Shen Yanyan's side. "Sister Erya, I'm going to make a new perfume again. This time it's jasmine scented. I'll leave a box for you then."

"No, I still have this one, you should sell it for money."

Hearing her refusal, Shen Li felt that this was a true friend who truly cared about you: "What is our relationship? I must save the new taste for you."

"Then I won't be polite, but this ointment is really good. No wonder Shen Yanyan stopped me and kept asking, how did you make this?"

"I learned it from a book. Besides, I'm so smart, what can't I know?"

"Okay, I know you're awesome, okay? Let's go, it's getting dark, let's go back."

Li Erya did not ask further. Shen Li knew that she believed in herself and did not mind her keeping her own little secrets. She gave her great respect and freedom. This was a comfortable way of getting along. She did not expect that her mind could be so meticulous. She was glad that she had saved this friendship.

Early the next morning, Shen Liang went to the county and took back the remaining sixty small boxes.

Then Shen Li began to filter the beeswax. After it was ready, he poured it into a large bowl while it was hot. He also poured in tea oil and jasmine oil, and stirred them evenly. Finally, he put a little bit of it into boxes. After cooling, it would solidify into a paste.

The first time I made it, I packed it in boxes after it cooled, and it didn’t look good. This time I packed it in a liquid state, and it was very flat after cooling, and it looked very good.

After all the ointments were made and packaged, there were exactly seventy-five boxes.

This time the tea oil has been used up, and the flowers are gone. I still have fifteen dollars left from the honeycomb I bought for the first time, but I used it up this time. However, I haven’t used the twenty dollars I bought this time, and I still have five small boxes left.

Shen Li doesn’t have much money now, so he has to sell the ointment as soon as possible.

On the second day, he took twenty boxes of ointment and thirty flyers and went to the county with Liu Dahua, Shen Liang and Shen Xing. This time Shen Han stayed at home because he was not good at it and Shen Li didn't want to make things difficult for him. Besides, there was no need for so many people. There were only twenty boxes anyway, so there was no need to distribute too many flyers.

Just like last time, there were still a few people distributing flyers while Liu Dahua was in charge of the stall. This time, Shen Li completely handed the stall over to her and concentrated on distributing flyers.

After a while, all ten flyers were distributed, so she went to find Shen Liang and found that he had also finished distributing them, but there were many women around him, some of whom were still holding flyers and asking questions.

This flyer is so popular that even if you just stand there and hand it out, people will come and ask for it. When I first handed out flyers, some people didn't dare to take it. This time it's much better. News spreads quickly at the market and everyone knows what this is.

Shen Li walked closer, looked at Shen Liangsheng's hopeless expression, and helped him out: "Okay, if you're interested, go buy it quickly. There are only 20 boxes. If you go too late, you won't be able to buy it."

Some people really wanted to buy it. When they heard Shen Li say this, they hurried to the Peach Blossom Rouge Shop.

Shen Liang visibly relaxed and let out a long breath: "Ali, it's a good thing you came. This was too scary."

"Second brother, you don't know how to appreciate the blessing you have. With so many beauties surrounding you, any other man would have died of happiness long ago." Shen Li joked.

"Goodbye."

"I know that my second brother is also doing this for my perfume business. Once my reputation increases, I won't have to post more. I'm sorry for inconveniencing you for now."
