After wearing a book, the cannon fodder ex-wife just wants to farm

Chapter 31 Peppermint Cream

"I'm generous because I'm doing a good job, not because I want to lose face." Li Erya retorted.

Half of the responsibility for the Shen family's poverty is due to their desperate efforts to save face. They don't have to eat food, they can't have less pens, ink, paper and inkstones, they don't need to drink water, and tea and wine are a must.

She can understand that they want imperial examinations and hospitality, but she can't understand that they are also open to the village ruffians, and they don't know how much money they make.

But at this moment, Li Erya understood a little bit, they were not good at refusing, and they were not good at swearing, and they couldn't say a word of rebuttal under the premise that they thought they were right.

The dishes are really delicious, Li Erya said seriously, "Just kidding, I want to make some ointment for sale, besides, I am not only generous to outsiders, but also to you and me. Please help clean these boxes. Pay your wages."

After Li Erya finished speaking, she took the basket and walked to the wasteland behind the school, where a large piece of mint grew. Accompanied by the sound of reading aloud, she scooped up a basket full of mint.

Li Baoshan and the others winked at her desperately, wishing they could join her ranks right away.

Shen Nanzhou took the ruler and walked slowly to Li Baoshan. He didn't punish Li Erya, but he had to punish Li Baoshan. After all, it was he who offered to let her have a good rest these few days.

Killing chickens to make an example to monkeys made others calm down a lot.

Li Erya also came back with a full load, seeing Shen Qingrou helping to clean the rouge box, she smiled slightly, and generously gave her the only six cents left in her pocket.

"I do not want."

"Oh."

"What exactly do you want to do? How do you do it? Can you really sell it for money?"

"There's something missing."

Li Erya sneezed, simply put on a thin quilt and took a stick and went out.

"Pretending to be a ghost." Shen Qingrou couldn't help complaining when she saw her go out in a weird dress.

"Oh." Madam Shen sighed heavily when she saw her nondescript appearance, a nun was not like a nun, and a girl was not like a girl.

Shen Muyin was also curious, and couldn't help but secretly followed.

Seeing her walking towards a place inaccessible, Shen Muyin clumsily followed her, but her heart was in a state of panic, and she even suspected that she was planning to practice some sorcery.

From his point of view, she was stabbing the tree with a stick, muttering something like a witch, Shen Muyin was startled, afraid that she would find out.

Really afraid of something, Shen Muyin saw her walking towards him and wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide except retreat.

Before he could figure out how to explain it, his eyes went dark, and his whole body was covered by a quilt.

"You." Shen Muyin's face turned pale with shock, and she wanted to tear off the quilt on her head in a panic.

"If you don't want to be stung by bees, don't move around." Li Erya pulled the quilt tightly, squatted motionless, and listened to the movement outside with her ears up.

bee?

Shen Muyin was stunned, and couldn't help but blush, he mistook her for a witch, "Why are you messing with bees?"

"For one bite." Li Erya rolled his eyes at him, "Could it be for fun?"

Of course, besides honey, beeswax is also what she wants.

"You don't want to die." Shen Muyin was ashamed and annoyed, he probably followed after he lost his head.

"Yes, otherwise what are you doing hiding here, but what are you doing here?" Li Erya pulled the quilt, "One of me is just right, and the two of us are a bit small."

"I..." Shen Muyin's face turned red again, "Who told you to be sneaky, let me see what you want to do."

"No, I went out boldly." Li Erya shrugged, "I want to follow along and tell you directly, in case I don't find you, you will definitely be besieged by bees right now."

Shen Muyin snorted softly, she would not be able to discover her real purpose if she said it directly, but it's not the result he wanted right now, "Are you alright?"

"It's almost ready." Li Erya carefully identified the situation outside, took a sneak peek, saw that the bees had left home, and hurriedly took the hive out of the pot.

Honey can also be exchanged for money. The Shen family is probably really short of money. Mrs. Shen proposed to sell the honey for money, because Shen Muci lost his clothes and quilts and had to spend money to buy them.

And Li Erya used beeswax as a coagulant to make 52 boxes of mint cream, kept one box for her own use, and prepared to sell the rest.

But Shen Nanzhou had to teach the children, Shen Muci's health was not fully recovered, Madam Shen was worried about him going to the city, Li Erya didn't want to wait, so she pulled Shen Qingrou and Shen Muyin was about to set off.

Mrs. Shen was not too worried about them going out, but Shen Nanzhou felt that they could give it a try, so she couldn't say anything more.

Li Erya took honey and mint ointment, as well as Shen Qingrou and Shen Muyin, and they set off.

The water in the mountain stream receded, but it was still deeper than usual. She and Shen Muyin walked on the water, while Shen Qingrou crossed the mountain stream on a donkey.

"It's so cold." Li Erya put down her trousers, and couldn't help shivering.

Seeing her pale face, Shen Qingrou was a little embarrassed, and forgot that she was still a patient, so she quickly let her sit on the donkey.

The hospitality was hard to come by, Li Erya sat on the donkey, humming a little song comfortably.

"Noisy." Seeing her heartless look, Shen Muyin suddenly felt a little annoyed.

Li Erya glanced at him, and continued humming her own ditty.

When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate curiously asked them what they were doing in the city.

"Brother Cha, we want to go to the city to sell honey, do you want it?"

"Business is on our heads, haha, we can't afford such expensive things, you go to the tavern and ask."

"Okay, thank you, big brother." Li Erya said with a smile, seeing them staring eagerly, she shared a small piece with them, "Brother Shen accidentally fell into the water, and the rest has to be exchanged for some money. He made up for himself."

Speaking of Shen Muci's falling into the water, the man talked about it for a while, and then gave her a penny to buy some good things to go home, and praised Shen Muyin for marrying a good wife.

Shen Muyin was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear in place, and kept urging her to hurry up.

Li Erya just said goodbye to them.

"Family ugliness must not be publicized." Shen Qingrou was also unwilling to let her talk about family affairs, and warned dissatisfiedly.

"You think they won't know if you don't tell them, and you can get money if you say a few more words." Li Erya shrugged, she was willing, if she didn't tell, she would be so greedy that she would want all her honey.

"You did it on purpose?" Shen Muyin frowned, he could see it, but he was also surprised by her control over people's hearts.

"Guess." Li Erya didn't want to explain.

Next, she didn't go to the tavern first, but went to Huichuntang. She wanted to ask Su Yue to help sell mint cream, because if she sold it herself, she would have to pay a lot more.

Su Yue is not surprised that she can make peppermint cream, but she is not confident that she can sell so many peppermint creams for her.
