Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

The people who were following were very careful all the way. After following for a long time, they still didn't see Liu Siyu go to the pharmacy. One of the shop assistants grumbled in displeasure.

"What's so interesting about this small place? You are just a country bumpkin who has never seen the world."

The other boy nudged the one who spoke with his shoulder.

"I say, brother, don't be ungrateful. You are paid for hanging out here. You work in the kitchen for a long time and you only get a few cents for that."

The young man who spoke first scratched his head and said, "You are right."

As the two were talking, they looked up and found that the brother and sister in front of them were gone.

The young man who was following them was startled, "Could it be that we have been discovered?"

Another person was also a little worried, "Let's split up and look for it."

Liu Siyu dragged Liu Sihan to hide behind the basket of an old man selling vegetables.

Seeing that the two guys were indeed coming for them, they realized after a little thought that they were probably the guys from Cha Xiang Ji, and they came for the formula of the hand cream.

Otherwise, who would follow them, they are just two country kids?

I thought to myself, businessmen are really cunning. They talk about long-term cooperation but then turn around and start to make small moves.

Liu Sihan stood up nervously only after the two men walked away.

"Sister, how do you know those two people are following us?"

Liu Siyu sighed.

"I wasn't sure at first. When I was wandering around, I always felt like someone was staring at me. I looked back several times but didn't see anyone. After a few tries, I realized that they were really coming for us."

Liu Sihan became even more nervous, "Who are those people? Why are they staring at us?"

Liu Siyu smiled and shook her head. "I don't know either. It could be a thief in town. Just be careful and it will be fine."

She didn't want Liu Sihan to worry too much, so she had to tell a white lie.

After the people who were following left, Liu Siyu's eyes darkened slightly. This line had just been established and they couldn't withdraw immediately. It seemed that they had to plan carefully.

If you want to keep the secret recipe secret, buying medicine becomes a big problem.

They definitely couldn't go buy it today, so the two of them made a feint and wandered around the town.

It was almost noon when Liu Siyu set foot in Chaxiangji again.

Shopkeeper Fu seemed unusually enthusiastic. He sent someone to follow her in the morning, but he lost her. He didn't know whether the girl had discovered her or not.

"Miss Siyu, has your journey been smooth?"

Liu Siyu smiled faintly, knowing that this was a test from Manager Fu.

But he pretended not to know and said, "It went smoothly. I often walk the road from the countryside to the town. The small porcelain vase I promised last time is now ready."

Seeing that Liu Siyu behaved normally, Shopkeeper Fu thought that the little girl hadn't noticed that she was being followed at all, and he couldn't help but curse the two useless guys in his heart.

"It's all ready, Xiao Wuzi, bring the things up."

Then he asked, "Are the raw materials for making the hand cream ready?" Shopkeeper Fu asked casually with concern.

Liu Siyu nodded happily.

"Well, everything is ready. We are just waiting for your porcelain bottle to arrive."

Shopkeeper Fu seemed a little disappointed and couldn't help wondering if this girl had come to the town on her way and wasn't discovered by her.

But we can only go so far if we try.

Xiao Wuzi placed the porcelain bottles on the table. Liu Siyu looked at them carefully. Each of the delicate little bottles had a white base made of pink porcelain. The wooden stoppers on them were exquisitely crafted and carved with patterns, which were very beautiful.

"These porcelain bottles are so exquisitely crafted, they must be expensive, right?"

Shopkeeper Fu raised a hint of pride in his eyes, "Of course, such a delicate moisturizing cream should be paired with an exquisite porcelain bottle, which complements each other."

Liu Siyu raised the corner of her mouth slightly. A good horse deserves a good saddle. Packaging plays a vital role at all times.

With this outer packaging, a bottle would sell for at least several taels of silver.

It’s really unfair when you think about it. She holds absolute secrets and is a technical backbone, but she is treated unfairly just because she has no ability and no connections.

You can only make wedding clothes for others, working hard to earn a few hundred coins from a bottle, and others can get several taels of silver after just one sale.

I'm afraid that Manager Fu got more benefits than her, a technical backbone.

I felt a little sad in my heart, but I immediately adjusted my mindset. Before I have the ability to protect myself, it is better to earn less than being targeted by a group of people.

On the way back, Liu Siyu kept wondering, who would be safer to entrust the matter of buying medicine to?

Although Aunt Zheng and Aunt Wu are reliable and it may work once or twice, they will definitely be suspected over time. Who can guarantee that they will not be tempted by money?

I was thinking all the way, and when I got home, many people came into the house.

Especially the greasy-haired and powdered woman next to Wang made Liu Siyu feel a little uneasy.

That person looks like a matchmaker. Could it be that old witch again?

Thinking of this, Liu Siyu lost her composure any longer and strode into the main room.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?"

Wang immediately stood up and explained, "This is Liu the matchmaker from Liujiatang. She came here today..."

When Liu Siyu heard that it was a matchmaker, she became more certain of her guess and instantly became furious, and threw the backpack into the main room.

She pointed at the sleek matchmaker and said, "I told you last time, if there's another black-hearted matchmaker coming to my house, I won't be polite. Get out, all of you, get out."

The matchmaker's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, where did this wild girl come from? Why is she so rude? Fortunately, the host specifically instructed me to be polite.

I don’t know what the boy’s eyes were like, to allow him to say something to such a rude little girl.

Also coming with them was a young wife with an oval face and a pair of bright black eyes that looked particularly lively.

She is tall and thin, and apart from being a little skinny, she is a capable young wife.

She was also frightened by Liu Siyu's appearance. She shuddered and stood up from the stool.

Wang hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"I'm sorry, the girl got a little upset outside today and lost her temper. She's not usually like this."

He then winked at Liu Siyu and said, "Go to the kitchen and wash your face, then come out and apologize to the guest."

However, Liu Siyu didn't fall for it. She thought Wang had learned her lesson from last time and was using sweet words to change her tactics this time.

"Don't play tricks here. I have the final say on my marriage. Who I marry and how I live is my business. Even if you are my stepmother, you have no right to interfere."

Wang's face froze and she pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly.

He said to the matchmaker and the tall young wife, "This child has been harmed by the matchmaker. He feels a little uncomfortable when he sees the matchmaker. You must not take it to heart."

The matchmaker was talking about matchmaking, and many people who had seen it were not surprised at all. They just sat there with their legs crossed and watched the show.

But the tall young wife was a little unhappy. She came to visit him, but started to chase him away before she could even say a word.

It's really embarrassing and makes people feel worried.

If I really marry such a fierce girl, I'm afraid I won't have a peaceful life in the future.

Feeling unhappy, his tone became somewhat stiff.

"We came here in a hurry today and didn't say hello in advance. Why don't we go back and prepare to come another day?"

As he said this, he pulled the matchmaker out.

Wang sighed secretly, "You are such a troublesome girl. I was wrong last time, but didn't you agree to this marriage today?"

"What did you say? I agreed to it myself," Liu Siyu's head buzzed.

"Could it be the matchmaker hired by the Tian family?"

Wang gave Liu Siyu an unpleasant look and said, "What do you think?"
