Shen Li thought it was unusual that he suddenly treated her like this, so she stared at him.

Shen Xing felt uncomfortable being stared at: "What are you looking at? Just eat if I tell you to."

Suddenly, Shen Li smiled. It seemed that it was because of what happened last night. She didn't point it out. "Then I won't be polite. Thank you, Third Brother."

After dinner, Shen Li was called into the house by Shen Han.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

"Now, this is for you."

Shen Li looked at the pieces of paper handed to her, which looked a bit like copybooks. She raised her head and looked at Shen Han in confusion.

"My father said that my handwriting is pretty good. Here are some big characters I wrote. When you have nothing to do, you can practice them. Your handwriting..."

Shen Li knew that her handwriting was not pretty. She was not used to using a brush, had no interest in practicing calligraphy, and did not want to become a talented woman: "Brother, I know my handwriting is not pretty, but it is not to the point where it is unreadable, right?"

Shen Han coughed and said, "Ali, your father always asked you to practice calligraphy, but you just wouldn't practice. I'm not asking you to write well, but at least it should be readable. What do you think?"

She didn't want to practice, but luckily the original owner's handwriting was also ugly. These ugly words didn't have any body style. If you didn't compare them, you couldn't tell that they were written by two people: "Brother, I will practice when I have time."

Shen Han suddenly wrote calligraphy for her. Could it be because of what happened yesterday?

"Okay, I know you don't want to practice, but you still have to find time to practice. Your handwriting... Alas." Shen Han shook his head.

"Thank you, brother. I'll go out first." Shen Li hurried out of the house.

In fact, she had time now, as she was the only one with free time at home. Shen Liang and Shen Xing went to the mountains, saying they wanted to get some wood for carving.

Liu Dahua is still making the quilt, but it will be finished soon.

We still have to continue making the ointment, and now is the time to strike while the iron is hot. We shouldn’t wait too long. Otherwise, if we don’t sell it, the popularity will fade and everyone will forget about it.

Shen Li thought that she should continue to make jasmine-scented ointment. Firstly, the scent was nice, and secondly, given her current situation, it would be easier to make mistakes if she kept the same scent. If there were several scents, people would have choices. If they liked this one, they would buy more, and if they liked that scent, they would wait until next time to buy it, which would be a bad idea.

The next day, the job of buying jasmine flowers was given to Shen Xing.

Shen Li and Shen Liang went to the county, ordered 140 boxes of ointment, and then went to buy tea oil.

"Boss, can't you make it cheaper? I will use it all the time." Shen Li was bargaining with the owner of the oil shop.

"Hey, little girl, even if you keep using it, my oil is not expensive. I'm the only one selling tea oil here. This oil is more expensive than other oils. I really don't want it too much."

"Yeah, the oil is so expensive, so you buy less. Can't it be cheaper?"

Shen Liang watched from the side and felt that she was really willing to spend money like that. In order to get a cheaper price, the tone of her voice gave him goose bumps. He couldn't help but touch his arm twice.

"Really not. If you have a chance in the future, you can go to the state capital and see for yourself. You will know that I really didn't sell it at a high price."

After haggling for so long, the boss still didn't give in. It seems that the source of the goods is not the source manufacturer: "Okay, give me five kilograms first."

The materials for making the perfume this time cost her a total of twelve taels. She touched her not-so-full wallet and wondered when she would stop calculating her spending.

When he got home, Shen Xing had not come back yet. Shen Li thought that in order to save some time, he should heat the beeswax and filter it out first. When he actually made it, he only needed to heat it again, which would not be a big deal.

This time I filtered out all the twenty yuan honeycombs that I bought for the second time. After all, I made a lot this time, so it’s pretty good.

After finishing everything, Shen Li was sweating all over and felt too sticky to bear. She fetched a basin of water and went back to the room to wipe her body with a towel.

"anyone there?"

Shen Li was startled in the room. She was not wearing any clothes at the moment. The voice sounded like Shen Yanyan. Just as she thought, she couldn't hide even if she wanted to.

"Someone is coming, put on your clothes quickly." Liu Dahua walked out.

She quickly wiped her body, changed into clean clothes, and went out with the basin of water. She saw Shen Yanyan and Shen Rong standing in the yard. Shen Li could guess that they were here to buy ointment.

After pouring the water outside the yard and putting the basin away, Shen Li walked up to them.

"Ali, Yanyan is here to buy ointment. Do you have any more?" Liu Dahua said.

"Yes, there are exactly two boxes left." Shen Li looked at Shen Yanyan: "I know my cousin likes it, so I saved it for you."

"Thank you, cousin."

After going into the house, Shen Li took out two boxes of ointment and then returned to the yard.

"Cousin, this money..."

"I brought it." Shen Yanyan consciously gave a string of money to Shen Li.

Shen Li handed the ointment to her, which seemed like a gift in exchange for money. Then she looked at Shen Rong and said, "Cousin Rong, don't you want to buy it? I have two boxes left."

They are all her customers now. Shen Li doesn't hold any grudges against them. Her attitude is very good and she still has professional ethics.

"I..." Shen Rong looked at the ointment in Shen Li's hand: "Can you make it cheaper? I... I don't have enough money."

"This... Cousin Rong, I sell it to everyone at the same price. I just sold a box to Cousin Yanyan for 100 wen. It's cheaper than it is now with you. There's no such thing. How about you save up enough money and come back to buy it?" Shen Li was giving a sincere suggestion. Although he couldn't afford it for the time being, he was also a potential customer and would definitely buy it in the future.

Shen Rong stared at the ointment in Shen Li's hand unwillingly.

"If you really like it, use a box with your cousin Yanyan first." Shen Li suggested helplessly.

"Yan Yan, I know you don't like sharing things with others, but I really like your cousin. Do you have any extra money? Can you lend me some? I will pay you back when I have money in the future." Shen Rong said to Shen Yanyan.

Shen Yanyan looked at Shen Rong in embarrassment: "Cousin, you know me. I buy whatever I want when I have money. I don't keep any money in my hands. I deliberately left this hundred coins, otherwise it would not be enough. I didn't know you wanted to buy it, so how about I leave some money for you from now on and come to buy it next time?"

Why? She is my grandmother's granddaughter. She just wants a box of ointment, but it is so difficult. Shen Li had the worst life before, but now she has to look at her face? Shen Rong felt humiliated. She suppressed her anger and unwillingness: "When is the next time?"

"Cousin, don't be like this, isn't it just a box of ointment?" Shen Yanyan didn't know what was wrong with her. This had never happened before, and she had always been accommodating to her.

"Yes, then give me the ointment you bought. You can come back to buy more when you have money. Anyway, grandma loves you so much that she can give it to you even if you ask for it now."
