When Liu Yuhan returned to the shop in the county town, Rendong and Wuyou were both excited. They hadn't seen the girl for a long time.

Liu Yuhan felt a little guilty when she saw how excited the two girls were to see her. She hadn't come to see them since she left them here last time and only contacted them through Uncle He.

The soap and perfume industry is gradually getting back on track, with the Huo family being the largest supplier.

Boss Li also introduced them to a supplier from out of town who had placed an order for 2000 bars of soap and 1000 bars of toilet soap directly. He offered them a slightly cheaper wholesale price of 28 wen for soap and 160 wen for toilet soap.

The main reason was that the Huo family insisted on placing orders at their retail price, and the quantity of soap was limited, so she really didn't want to lower the price too much. If the merchants could accept it, she would take it, and if they couldn't, she wouldn't sell it to them.

Liu Yuhan looked at the bill and found that the store had collected a thousand taels in nearly a month.

The facial mask is selling pretty well, after all, the effect can only be seen slowly.

Mrs. Liu had used it well before and introduced a group of close friends to it. 200 bottles on the shelf had already been sold and 200 more bottles were put on the shelf. The remaining 600 bottles were taken away by Huo Er to the provincial capital to sell.

The soap and facial mask cost two thousand taels.

Liu Yuhan chatted with the two girls for a while and told them that if they needed anything or wanted to eat something, they could buy more without hesitation. The store would pay for the expenses, so they shouldn't worry too much.

At the end of the month, they would close for one day, taking a break for two days a month, one in the middle of the month, and one at the end of the month. If they wanted to return to Fulai Village on vacation, they would post a notice at the door of the store and return by oxcart or ask Habaek to pick them up that day.

Liu Yuhan took a hundred taels of silver to a bank and exchanged them for one, two, and five taels, along with a large bag of copper coins. The bank owner already knew her, recognizing her as a wealthy young woman, and charged her a lower interest rate. The exchange of silver required a fee.

She went to a folk kiln and ordered a batch of small porcelain bottles of different sizes, some for facial masks, some for pills and powders. The boss greeted her warmly as soon as he saw her, thinking she was the little god of wealth.

Before going home, I went to the county town to buy some medicinal herbs. Since I had already promised Huo Dong, and my master happened to be there, I made some Chinese medicine pills and powders first.

The powder is primarily used as hemostatic powder. It uses a variety of Yunnan traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, including coptis root, phellodendron, sanguisorba officinalis, and gentian, which have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing inflammation, and stopping bleeding and promoting tissue regeneration. Of course, with slight changes to the ingredients, it can also be made into hemostatic pills, which are more effective for internal and external use.

There is also antidiarrheal powder. The main ingredients are Poria, mint, rice, sophora flavescens, patchouli, etc.

The pills are primarily for colds and typhoid fever. Their main ingredients include mint, burdock fruit, platycodon, bupleurum, perilla leaf, saposhnikovia root, ephedra, cassia twig, angelica root, ligusticum chuanxiong, angelica root, scutellaria baicalensis, and forsythia. They clear heat and detoxify, dispel wind and relieve symptoms, and are designed to treat cold-related symptoms such as headache, fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, sore throat, nausea, and vomiting.

Abdominal Pain Pills were also developed. These pills primarily warm the middle and dispel cold, promote qi circulation, and relieve pain. Ingredients include dried ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and bitter orange. They are indicated for treating symptoms such as epigastric pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, pale tongue, white fur, and a wiry pulse.

There's also Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills. Its ingredients include Patchouli, stir-fried Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica dahurica, dried tangerine peel, Poria cocos, Magnolia officinalis (processed with ginger), Perilla frutescens leaf, Citrus grandiflora bark, Pinellia ternata (processed with ginger), and Licorice root. It's used for exogenous wind-cold, internal injuries caused by dampness, headaches, chest tightness, vomiting, and diarrhea. It's an effective remedy for heatstroke.

The adhesives used to make pills include honey, beeswax, rice paste, distilled water, dilute medicinal juice and sugar solution.

What Liu Yuhan wanted to develop most was an anesthetic powder. His master was already working on it, and only after it was made and tested would he know its effectiveness.

When Liu Yuhan returned home, she unexpectedly saw Widow Sun's mother-in-law chatting with her grandmother. She greeted her and went into the room.

After taking out the things I just bought from the space, I went to find my master to talk about making pills. The master and apprentice started working immediately and worked until dark. On the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, they finally made it.

The land for the family's nursery has been plowed, and Liu Yuhan is ready to start planting. Village Chief Lin invited the villagers to come and observe. Planting is simple: select the seeds, wash them, soak them in warm water, remove them, soak them in cold water, then pile them in a cool corner, cover them with film, let them germinate for 1-2 days, and then spread them. A layer of wood ash can be sprinkled before sowing.

Huo Dong personally brought his housekeeper with him. Liu Yuhan told them how to breed. Huo Dong had a thousand acres of fertile land and needed at least 6000 kilograms of grain seeds.

Liu Yuhan had already piled the grain seeds in the warehouse in advance, and put the remaining ones in the cellar. After a lot of moving, Butler Huo and his men took the grain seeds away first.

刘雨寒按市场价五文一斤给他们算,6000斤给30两就行。5万斤的番薯和土豆跟村民一个价给150两就行。一共180两。

Huo Dong insisted on giving her 500 taels, saying that such precious grain seeds and crops were worth any amount and that he had made a profit.

Well, Liu Yuhan knew his temper and didn't argue. He really made a profit.

She took out another envelope and gave it to her, saying that it was the ice-making recipe she and her grandmother bought. Liu Yuhan saw the thick envelope and couldn't refuse, so she accepted it first.

Liu Yuhan gave Huo Dong the powder and pills he and his master had prepared. The bottles were labeled with the names of the medicines, and he also wrote down the effects, usage, and dosage of each medicine on a piece of paper. He told Huo Dong to try the medicines on some patients with suitable symptoms to see how effective they were. If he had any questions, he could report them to them immediately.

The names of the required medicinal herbs were written on a separate piece of paper, including some required medicinal seeds.

"Brother Huo Dong, can you help me find some medicinal seeds? These seeds are what we need."

"Okay. I'll send someone to find you as soon as possible."

"Miss Xiaohan, I... Xiaobei found a white horse to thank you. He said you like white horses and hopes you will accept it."

"Ah, I really want to own a horse of my own, but isn't this too expensive? How much silver do I need to buy it?"

"Didn't you say that people are the most important? These material possessions are unimportant. I'd be more pleased if you accepted Xiaobei."

"Thank you, Brother Huo Dong and Xiao Bei."

"Come with me, Ma is at Uncle Lin's house."

Huo Dong said goodbye to the Liu family.

Holding the medicine bag in one hand and holding Jueying in the other, Liu Yuhan walked beside Jueying and interacted with it. Jueying treated her better and better, and Liu Yuhan was very happy.

"Do you like horses that much?"

"Of course, animals are very spiritual. Brother Huo Dong naturally doesn't think it's a big deal if he has one, but for those who have never had one, it is naturally precious."

"Ah."

Huo Dong secretly regretted that he should have chosen a good horse for her earlier. Didn't she show so much liking for Jueying when she first met him? Was he afraid of being too offensive or did he lack the courage?

You have both, right? Aren’t you hesitant?

But why did he rush back from the capital at full speed and want to go to Fulai Village first? Why was he eager to see the face that appeared in his dream?

Could it be that he had already fallen in love with her unconsciously when he first saw her in Yiyang City?

He has always been resolute and has never known or experienced this kind of anxiety...

He is truly hopeless...
