The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

She took a piece of mulberry leaf and chewed it. It had a crisp texture and was really good.

In this case, this plate of gardenias should also be edible.

The plate of leaves was almost empty, and Zhou Mingshu took a pair of chopsticks and placed them on the table.

"Whoever eats it gets to pick it up."

The gardenia cauliflower is crispy and tastes very fragrant. Several people ate it in silence.

When Old Mrs. Zhou came back from the backyard, both plates of food were already empty.

"Sanyah, will you still do it when lunch comes? All of this has been eaten, and the people in the fields haven't had any."

"Yeah, I'll make some gardenia soup. I wonder if they would like to eat it. If they don't, we will. It's a good change to the way they eat it."

"Haha, okay. I made so much just now. I'm not full at all after eating it. I can still eat a lot."

"Okay, then help me pick more petals. We don't want the stamens inside, so let's pick them off first."

Mingyuan and Minghua also joined the team picking vegetables.

Feng was carrying a basket of wild vegetables and mushrooms.

A few children can do those things, but grandma-in-law definitely won’t want to make those things for lunch, so let her take care of these common wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Without exception, gardenia soup is also delicious.

Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi received unanimous praise from their family.

Only Old Lady Zhou looked unhappy.

"Just spoil them. Nothing happened once or twice, but there's no guarantee that there won't be any trouble the third or fourth time. If something does happen, I don't know where you can go to cry."

"Mother, you are too strict with the children. You should ask Mr. Chen to come over and ask if they are all sold in his medicine shop. They are all medicinal herbs. We just don't have any education, so we don't know. Why are you arguing with two girls?"

Boss Zhou was chewing the gardenia in his mouth. It was crispy and delicious. The Mr. Chen he was referring to was Doctor Chen.

"Grandma, these gardenias are the same as osmanthus flowers, they are both edible. The honeysuckle outside my second grandfather's house is also edible. If you don't believe me, ask him. I saw him chewing them dry a few days ago."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou believed it about 50%.

After she finishes her meal she will go and ask if it is true and if there are any edible flowers.

As long as it was something edible, she wouldn't object.

I'm just afraid that they will just grab something from outside and bring it home saying it's edible. That would be pure harm to themselves.

"Okay, go ahead and eat. I'll go ask your second aunt later."

At this point, Zhou Mingshu felt relieved. As long as grandma believed him, everything would be fine.

It seems that what she says in this family is not very effective. She has to find a way to make everyone trust her!

Two days later, Doctor Chen and Madam Xu came early in the morning, saying they were there to get the anti-itching ointment.

Boss Zhou is waiting at home. We are of the same generation, so there is no need to be so polite when meeting each other.

Madam Xu followed Zhou Mingshu into her room and smelled a refreshing fragrance as soon as she entered.

"Girl, your room is so tidy, much better than my girl's. I'll have to talk to her when I get home and ask her to learn from you. And there's incense, it has a unique smell. Where did you buy it?"

"Aunt, you are too kind. My home is close to the mountains, and I usually pick up rare stones and wood to decorate my house. This fragrance is exactly what I want to tell you about. This is the gardenia ointment I just developed. It can nourish the skin and leave a fragrance on the body. Aunt, take a look."

Madam Xu took the ointment from Zhou Mingshu and applied it on the back of her hand. She rubbed it gently and it was absorbed by her skin. She smelled it closely and found the scent of gardenia. She shook her hands and the fragrance lingered.

My God, those young ladies in the boudoir will definitely like this perfume, and those rich ladies will definitely like it too.

Even she herself loves it.

"Girl, did you make all this?"

"Yes, auntie, you see all the tools on the table are mine."

Madam Xu took a quick look and didn't look any further. There were so many pots, pans, and bowls of all sizes on the table. They were indeed made by the owner himself.

"Girl, you are amazing. I have never seen such a good thing in my life. How many do you have here? I will try to sell them when I go back."

"Aunt, including the one you have, there are ten bottles in total."

"Okay, give it all to me. This is the price..."

"Aunt, now is the season for gardenias. We have a lot of these flowers in Lianglin Mountain. It's a bit troublesome to pick the flowers and deal with the stamens, but it's not a big deal. It's just that these gardenias are only available for a while, so they may only be sold for a while."

Madam Xu didn't hesitate at all and doubled the price to fifty cents per bottle.

If these gardenia ointments sell well, they will raise the price, but they have a prerequisite, that is, they will only supply their shop.

These are easy to say. The Zhou family and the Chen family are old acquaintances, and some of them are relatives. Naturally, the first sum of money will go to the acquaintances.

But Zhou Mingshu also thought about it and realized that if he wanted to expand and make more money from these things, he definitely couldn't just sell them in one shop.

But this is just the beginning, take it slow.

Doctor Chen was a kind-hearted man. Knowing that Feng was pregnant, he took her pulse and briefly explained the situation.

He said that her body was a little weak and she could take more supplements. If conditions permit, she could also take some pregnancy-preserving medicine, which she could get from his pharmacy when the time comes.

Doctor Chen and Madam Xu came and took away all the anti-itching ointment that had been ordered, and left a bag of money.

When I poured it out, I saw some small change in it.

Boss Zhou hadn't seen such white silver for a long time, and his eyes were a little moist.

Old Mrs. Zhou put away the change, then spread out the copper coins one by one, added them with the deposit she had given earlier, counted for a while, and said that there was nothing wrong.

This business deal brought the Zhou family more than three taels of silver, almost four taels.

Both adults and children in the family were very excited, and their surprised expressions took a long time to subside.

"God has opened my eyes. I can start paying off my debts if I save a little more."

"Grandma, don't pay the debt yet. Let's use some of the money to order some porcelain bottles. I just asked Aunt Xu, and the porcelain bottles she ordered are only one penny each. Let's order more to save Uncle and Brother from sawing bamboo tubes. That's so tiring. Besides, the gardenia ointment I'm making now is something that rich people like. If it's too simple, people won't want to buy it."

Old Mrs. Zhou looked at the bag of money she had just received. The silver wasn't even warm in her hand yet, but she was about to take out the money to order the bottle.

She thought it was a bit expensive to buy such a small bottle at only one penny.

The porcelain bowls at home only cost one penny for two.

She hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of her family's business, she had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Okay, let's go to town in a couple of days to see how Dr. Chen's products are selling. If they're good, we'll order more."

Seeing that grandma agreed, Zhou Mingshu smiled and said, "Then let's give it a name, and then we can engrave a seal on the bottle so that people can tell it's ours at a glance."
