I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

With the matter resolved, Fang Xiaoxiao began planning for the next steps.

Because the store's products are currently too limited, although the daily income is not bad, it is still slightly inferior compared to those well-known stores.

She sat at the square table in the room and began to think about the development of new products.

"The sales of pills and medicinal cuisine are not bad, but there are already two big stores, Yaojitang and Huichuntang, so even if our own store sells them, we still can't outsell them."

"As for medicinal cuisine, many ordinary people are not particularly interested in it, and it is also expensive, so most people simply cannot afford it. It is far superior to Wenyue Pavilion."

"It seems we need to research something new, otherwise it will be really difficult to support those guys with just these things."

Thinking of this, he began to search his memory for things from his previous life.

Make a face mask!

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her.

In ancient times, there was no shortage of wealthy women, and everyone loves beauty.

In addition, the shop previously sold high-end cosmetics and powders, and had no shortage of high-end customers.

Since neither pills nor medicinal cuisine can outsell those two companies, it's better to find a new path.

She then went out to find the materials she needed to make a face mask.

Based on the available materials, let's make a sample first.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Dong dong!"

"My wife, are you asleep?"

Li Renyi stood in front of the lattice wooden door and knocked lightly twice.

This guy just so happens to be my test subject.

Fang Xiaoxiao replied, holding the prepared mud mask in her hand.

"Not yet, come in."

Li Renyi pushed open the door and entered. He then saw his wife holding a black porcelain bowl filled with something dark and disgusting.

He asked with curiosity.

"My lady, what is that in your hand? It looks disgusting."

Fang Xiao glared at him, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Disgusting my foot! This is a face mask that I specially invented for the shop."

"Face mask...is it edible?"

"It's a face mask that can make your skin smoother and more delicate, just like a boiled egg."

"What do you mean?"

Li Renyi asked in confusion.

He had never heard of such a thing before. It was a dark, disgusting lump of stuff. How could it be used as a face mask and make the face smooth and delicate? It was simply too outrageous.

Fang Xiaoxiao was too lazy to explain; it was best to just get started.

She quickly approached him and then applied the black mud from the bowl to his face.

This sudden action startled Li Renyi, who tried to back away.

However, Fang Xiaoxiao was not about to give him a chance and called out directly to Long Jinyan at the door.

"Jinyan, quickly hold him down, don't let him escape!"

Long Jinyan, who was sitting at the stone table drinking tea in big gulps, heard his wife calling him. He immediately got up and rushed over to his wife in three steps.

He stretched out his hands, like a pair of pliers, and grabbed Li Renyi in one swift motion.

Li Renyi twisted and tried to break free from the two large hands on his shoulders.

Unfortunately, he was no match for Long Jinyan; no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.

"Don't move, or I'll slap you."

"Forehead……"

Faced with Long Jinyan, who was a head taller and broader than him, he had no choice but to accept his fate and let his wife apply black mud to his face.

However, the moment the mud was applied to his face, he smelled a sweet fragrance of honey.

"This smells so good!"

After Fang Xiaoxiao finished applying the face mask in the bowl, she smiled and said.

"It must smell delicious! I added honey and rose petals to it."

Currently, all the face masks she makes are made with edible ingredients, including fritillaria cirrhosa, loquat, egg white, and honey.

Let alone using it as a face mask, it would be a delicious food even if you ate it.

Long Jinyan also smelled the sweet fragrance on Li Renyi's face.

The taste was so tempting that he couldn't resist lowering his head, wanting to lick it.

"Shut up!"

Fang Xiaoxiao quickly intervened to stop her.

Long Jinyan was caught off guard by the sudden reprimand.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Renyi broke free from his clutches and ran behind his wife for protection.

"What are you doing? Are you so hungry that you're licking my face? Isn't that going too far?!"

"I... I couldn't help it."

Long Jinyan looked like a child who had done something wrong, lowering his head as if he wanted to explain again.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaoxiao spoke up.

"Stop talking, Jin Yan, you can go out first. Ren Yi and I have important matters to discuss."

"There's some face mask left in this bowl, why don't you take it out and try it?"

As she spoke, she handed the porcelain bowl in her hand to the other person.

Long Jinyan quickly reached out and took it, then turned and headed towards the door.

He wants to eat it all by himself and doesn't intend to share it with anyone else.

After the person left.

Fang Xiaoxiao then closed the door and asked Li Renyi to sit down.

As the mask gradually dries, it forms a hard shell.

Li Renyi felt a burning, stinging pain on his face, and he couldn't help but reach out to scratch it.

Upon seeing this, Fang Xiaoxiao asked.

"What's wrong? Does your face feel smooth?"

"No, no, my wife, I feel a lot of pain in my face, and it feels like it's on fire."

Li Renyi's face looked extremely pale, and his eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

He couldn't bear the stinging pain on his face any longer and cried out in agony.

"I can't take it anymore, my face hurts so much, it feels like I'm disfigured."

This sudden turn of events left Fang Xiaoxiao no time to think.

She took three silver needles from her hair and reached out to take his pulse.

This is poisoning!

To everyone's surprise, Li Renyi was poisoned by the face mask she developed.

Without further ado, three needles were inserted into his face.

It was very fast; three silver needles were accurately inserted into important acupoints on his face.

Before Li Renyi could even speak, he immediately lost consciousness.

"Phew... Where exactly did I go wrong?"

Looking at Li Renyi lying on the ground, Fang Xiaoxiao kept thinking about what went wrong with the mask formula.

She squatted down, reached out and peeled off a piece of the hardened face mask, examining it in her palm.

half an hour.

We finally found the reason.

It turns out that the amount of medicinal materials used was too large, which led to the production of toxins.

so far so good.

Fang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Once we find the cause, things will be much easier."

As for Li Renyi in front of him, he only needs to sleep and rest for a few days to fully recover.

……

A few days later, the face mask was finally successfully developed.

Fang Xiaoxiao happily carried the porcelain bowl into Li Renyi's room.

Their house is already built; it's one of those small villas.

The courtyard wall was changed from the previous mud wall to blue bricks, and the entire house was designed according to the villas she had seen in her previous life.

When the house was first completed, it amazed everyone.

No one could have imagined that houses could be built like this.

When the fat cook saw the house, he got all excited and started yelling that he wanted to tear it down and rebuild it. If his wife hadn't been there, he probably would have actually done it.

Ultimately, forced by his daughter-in-law's authority, he had no choice but to give up his hopes.

The house has three floors in total. The first floor has a hall and three bedrooms, which are where Long Jinyan and Murong Changqing live.

The second floor has four bedrooms and two living rooms, while the third floor has one bedroom and one living room, where only Fang Xiaoxiao lives.

Fang Xiaoxiao designed it this way naturally because of her seven husbands.
