It just requires some manual work and time, and I believe many carpenters are willing to take on such a job.

Sixty of them cost three taels of silver. Excluding the one hundred taels given to Old Lady Shen, Shen Li now only had fifty-one taels of silver in his hand.

This money can't be spent carelessly now, it must be saved for making perfume next time. Alas! She made money again and again, but she didn't save it. If she wanted to open a shop, when would she do it?

Three days passed like this, and Liu Dahua went to the Shen family early in the morning to deliver the silver.

When Shen Li saw her coming back, he seemed a little unhappy: "Mom, what's wrong? Did grandma say something unpleasant again?"

Liu Dahua was a little sad, and slowly sat on the stool: "No, this time she didn't say anything, and took the money without a word. But your grandfather kept sighing and told me that it was your grandmother and the others who did something wrong, and asked us not to bother with her. He also said that things had come to this point, and he couldn't say anything, and hoped that we could live our lives well."

Shen Li knew that the old man was not as mean as Old Lady Shen, and sometimes he would even speak up for them.

Here, most women listen to men, but in the Shen family, Old Lady Shen is the strong one. It has been almost a lifetime, and the old man's words never count. He is too honest and doesn't talk much. In Shen Li's memory, he feels a little sorry for him and feels that he is always being bullied. Old Lady Shen is the one who makes the decisions at home, and few people will listen to what he says.

"Mom, Grandpa is a good person, but his words don't count. If he really has problems in the future, I will help him if I can. I won't ignore it."

"Ali, mother just misses your father a little. If he knew that our two families had such a quarrel, he would be very sad."

"Dad is a reasonable man. Although he won't do anything to sever ties with us, he won't necessarily blame us either."

"Mom understands. It's just a moment of sadness. It's okay. Don't worry."

In the following time, Shen Li and Shen Liang worked hard to study blind box dolls. She has now drawn this set, which is a cute series of the twelve zodiac signs. This series also has many other styles. Shen Li has drawn another set of her favorite styles, which are also cute, but they all have closed eyes. Every doll has its eyes closed.

She plans to start with these two series, one of which will feature a hidden model.

After agreeing on all this with Shen Liang, Shen Li went to the county and bought some paint to color the carved dolls. The original color probably wouldn't be as beautiful as the colored ones.

First, take Shen Liang’s previous practice works and try to paint them to see if they look good, and also to practice your skills.

The painted dolls look very beautiful and more vivid.

Shen Xing went into the mountains several times in the past few days and hunted some rabbits and pheasants. Now his hunting skills are very good. Most of the time, he takes care of Li the hunter. Now his health is not as good as before, so he helps as much as he can.

The rabbits and chickens we brought back now are all alive, so if we don’t want to eat them, we can keep them for a few days and kill them whenever we want to eat them.

When coloring, Shen Xing always wanted to help. Shen Li was afraid that he wouldn't do it well, but he decided to let him try. If possible, he could help in the future.

His advantage is that he has a steady hand, and the things he paints are much smoother, unlike her, who sometimes needs to repaint several times to fix the imperfect parts.

In a set of blind boxes from the cute series, Shen Li used the dragon as a hidden model, and in the closed eyes series, the pig as a hidden model.

If you want to sell it, you can't sell it as a whole set. You must choose repeated styles and sell them one by one. Some are repeated and some are not. It depends on who picks which one.

In terms of probability, there is one hidden version and two rare versions in a hundred. Three are made for the monkey and two for the tiger.

The other probabilities are just average, everyone will do some, some may have more, some may have less, she has already talked to Shen Liang about it, and then it depends on how he carves it.

Shen Li finished painting the whole set, and then asked Shen Xing to paint according to the colors. She didn't care about it anymore. Anyway, not many were carved out yet, and the remaining few would be finished in a while.

Time flies, and it is already mid-September, and it is time to start making the ointment.

This time she made 200 boxes. If she took out all the money she had, it would be barely enough to buy materials to make 300 boxes. But if that happened, she would have no money left, which was really not possible.

After selling two hundred boxes, I have one hundred taels left, which is enough to last for a while.

Now the ointment has spread throughout Xia County. Everyone knows about it and those who need it will naturally come to buy it. Basically, it is sold out in a short time every time.

After Shen Li and Shen Xing sold the ointment, they took a set of color-painted dolls and went to the academy to find Shen Han.

The academy's doorman helped call Shen Han out.

"Ali, Third Brother, why are you here?" Shen Han asked in surprise.

Shen Li looked at him in his school uniform and felt that he looked even more handsome, but also more bookish: "Brother, we came to see you. You've been away from home for so long, don't you miss us?"

Shen Han was a little embarrassed by her straightforward words: "Is everything okay at home? I was worried for a long time after the storm last time. Fortunately, the third brother came to tell me that everything was fine at home, otherwise I would have asked for leave to go home and check on it."

Seeing that he didn't directly answer the question of whether he wanted to or not, Shen Li knew that he was shy and felt a little worried for him. He was like this with her, so if he found a girl he liked in the future, how would he get along with her?

"Brother, everything is fine at home, and a new house has been built, so you don't have to worry about it. Are you used to it here?"

Shen Xing also said, "Brother, the house at home is well built. It's a brick house."

Shen Han didn't know what Shen Li was thinking, so he spoke to the two of them naturally: "I'm used to it. I eat well, live well, and everything is good. I have to thank you, A-Li. Otherwise, I would never have dreamed of studying here. It's a pity that I didn't help with such a big thing as building a house at home."

"Brother, now is the time when you need to contribute."

Shen Han looked at her in confusion.

Shen Li continued, "My second brother and I have researched something new and now we need to draw a picture. We both can't draw well, so we came to you."

"Painting? But this is not what I am good at."

"But my second brother said that you can draw well."

In Shen Han's opinion, he was indeed not that good at painting, but Shen Li didn't want the painting skills, painting sense, and painting ideas of famous artists. She just wanted to draw the dolls in the blind box the same as the carved ones. This did not require much technical skills for Shen Han.

Shen Han couldn't bear to see her disappointed: "Then I'll try."

Shen Li handed him the doll wrapped in cloth: "Brother, just draw the dolls here and draw them all on a piece of paper."
