After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

"Of course. Yanyan is a lucky star. If I don't love her, who else will I love? It's better to break up with certain people, so that they won't come to curry favor with us now that we have money."

Shen Li ignored Old Lady Shen's sarcasm. If it was really Jin Duobao, then there would be someone around Shen Yanyan. If she were to deal with him, wouldn't it be dangerous?

Just when she got the news that the male protagonist Qin Yu would not attack her, someone else appeared.

Although in the original book it was his subordinate Chen Zheng who attacked her and caused her to drown, the current situation does not mean that others will not attack her. The root cause still lies with Shen Yanyan.

Thinking of this, he no longer had the heart to look for Li Erya, so he turned around and walked back.

When Old Lady Shen saw Shen Li went back without even saying hello, she glared at her angrily, but at the same time she felt that she had done nothing wrong. For someone like that, the relationship should be severed. Her Yanyan was still the best.

After returning home, Shen Li thought a lot, including his current situation and the plot in the original book, but he couldn't find a way to resolve his crisis.

Qin Yu didn't do anything to her, but he wouldn't do anything to Shen Yanyan either, so he couldn't help her.

Now she can only rely on herself, and she must make herself strong as soon as possible. However, Jin Duobao is the richest man, and no matter how strong she is, she can't compare to him.

Fortunately, Shen Yanyan and Jin Duobao had just met. Given her personality, she would probably pretend for a while and would not speak out her purpose first, which was what she was good at.

Shen Li didn't want to die, but he couldn't seem to escape the fate of being a cannon fodder. Now he could only struggle harder and harder, hoping not to die too soon.

At the end of the first lunar month, after selling ointments and blind boxes, Shen Li was stopped by someone.

She is a woman in her thirties.

"Excuse me, what's wrong with you?"

"Miss, I am the owner of this peach blossom rouge shop. I see that you have been selling perfume in front of my door for a long time."

"Boss, I'm not blocking your door. Besides, are stalls allowed in this area?"

"You misunderstood. I'm not saying that you can't set up a stall here. What I want to say is that your ointment is very good. Are you interested in cooperating?"

Shen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she would not be allowed to set up a stall here: "Cooperation?"

"Yeah, why don't we go in and talk?"

Looking back at Shen Liang and seeing him nod, Shen Li followed the woman into the rouge shop, then into the inner room and sat down at the table.

The woman poured her a cup of tea and said, "My last name is Cheng, you can call me Shopkeeper Cheng. I have been observing for some time and found that your perfume is selling very well. It is only sold twice a month, and many people cannot buy it. Is it because there are no stores to sell it?"

"I plan to open my own shop in the future."

"Then girl, have you ever thought about this? Your perfume doesn't actually take up much space. It's expensive to open a shop, and it won't take up much space. Then other places will be empty. Isn't that a waste?"

Shen Li touched the edge of the teacup and thought: "What kind of cooperation does Shopkeeper Cheng mean?"

"You can leave your stuff with me for consignment. A box of ointment costs 100 wen now, and you can sell it for 100 wen later."

Shen Li smiled: "Manager Cheng, how much do you want me to pay you for the consignment?"

"Girl, you are smart. Eighty cents, I'll take twenty cents from each box. I'll clear a space next to the shop to store your ointment."

"Then what's the benefit for me? I earn twenty cents less for a box of plain goods."

Shopkeeper Cheng took a sip of tea and said, "Now you have a place to sell, so you don't have to sell only twice a month. You can make a lot of ointments, and anyone who wants to buy can come to me. This is much better than selling twice a month. You can sell a lot more, so you can naturally make more money."

"It would be the same if I opened my own shop."

"Like I said just now, how much money do you need to run a shop? Can you stay in the shop every day to sell? If you hire someone, it will be another expense. In short, running a shop wastes too much money. You might as well do the math."

In fact, when she first started selling the ointment, Shen Li thought about selling it on consignment, but she didn't do it in the end. At that time, she still wanted to open a perfume shop in the future and become a real shopkeeper.

There is no cost to set up a stall to sell things now. If you pursue a comfortable life, you can continue like this and it will be enough for food and drink.

But now it is probably impossible. She must build up her own perfume business and make it bigger and stronger. She must have enough capital to fight against the people around Shen Yanyan, and she must also have enough capital to train her brothers and let them achieve something.

She needs to think carefully about whether to sell on consignment or open her own shop. After all, for future development, she has to take the easy path.

"Manager Cheng, what you said today was so sudden. I need to think about it carefully."

"Of course. Once you've thought it over, we can talk about it."

When Shen Li walked to the door, Shopkeeper Cheng took out a box of rouge and handed it to her.

"I can't accept this. Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper."

"Take it. Don't feel burdened. It's a gift from my sister."

"But how can I take it for free..."

"How can you say it's free? Even if the cooperation is not successful, there is still friendship. It's just a box of rouge, it's not worth much."

Shen Li couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

Shopkeeper Cheng is really good at doing business.

"Second brother, why didn't you say a word just now?"

"You are all women, so it would be inappropriate for me to interrupt you. Besides, you have to make the decision when it comes to business."

"Do you think what she said is feasible?"

"If it's for making ointment in large quantities, it's fine, but with the amount we have now, it's not necessary."

Shen Li also understood that this was a major change and he had to think carefully about it.

When she got home, she took out all the money.

During this period, apart from spending more than thirty taels on New Year's goods, I didn't spend much money left. Now I have six silver notes of one hundred taels in my hand, which, together with the silver, totals six hundred and eighteen taels.

If I were to open a shop, that would be enough.

Now there is only one thing called ointment, which seems to be unable to support a large shop. Even if Shen Liang’s blind boxes are put on display, there will not be much space. Blind boxes are handmade, and you can’t have as many as you want.

I have to hire someone to look after the shop, which is really troublesome.

The most important thing is that the current distillation equipment is not capable of distilling essential oils in large quantities and needs to be improved. Whether it is consignment sales or opening a shop, production must be expanded and the original things must be improved and started over.

This requires a lot of money. If you want to build a small factory, will you have enough money to open a shop?

Another way is to rent a small space in the rouge shop to sell her own ointment. This way she can save a lot of rent for opening a shop, but she still has to hire people to sell it, and Manager Cheng may not agree.

Shen Li planned to carefully calculate which one would save the most money and which one would be suitable for the future development of the ointment.
