After dinner, the family of three returned home.

On the way back, Li Mo silently calculates how much money she needs at home.

The clothes of the three members of a family are too worn to wear, so they have to have two new clothes to change; there are basically no pots and pans in the family, so they need to buy a new one; there is also a house that will collapse in the next second, so they can't live in the rain, so they must repair it; the most important thing is song Dashan's legs, which must be treated as soon as possible, and can't be delayed for a long time.

With this in mind, Li Mo finds that there are so many things in urgent need of silver, and it's impossible to realize these things without 50 taels of silver. She only has 15 Wen for one make-up. How long will it take to ease her current embarrassment.

No, she has to think about how to earn money.

Li Mo racked his brain to think about what could be handmade in this era. At this time, he found a bunch of blooming roses growing under the fence by the road. As soon as his eyes lit up, Li Mo immediately came up with a method.

for people who devoted their whole lives to beauty research, how could they not make some perfume perfumed ointment? Only now can she remember that she can make some ointments and sell them as perfume.

Women in this era also like to use incense. There are many creams sold to women in the powder shop. If you put a little on your body, it will send out fragrance, which is very popular with women. However, this kind of ointment can be regarded as a luxury. A small box costs at least 15 Wen. Only those rich women are willing to buy it, like the daughters-in-law in the village You can put some dried flowers in your pocket at most.

Li Mo knows how to make a simple ointment, and the raw materials only need flowers everywhere, so the cost is very small. Well, she can make it and sell it to the village daughters-in-law at a low price. People don't love beauty, they just don't want money to buy it. If what she sells is much cheaper than the powder shop, people will definitely be willing to buy it.

Thinking of this, Li Mo's heart warmed up again and was full of power. He ran to the clusters of roses, bowed his head and smelled them, then touched them again, thinking about the production steps.

Xiao Bao saw Li Mo smelling and touching the flowers, and ran to smell them with his short legs. However, he was so short that he couldn't reach the flowers. Li Mo was so anxious that he jumped up and down there. Li Mo was so funny that he bent down to pick him up and let him smell the flowers. The happy little guy sucked his nose as if he wanted to suck the flowers into his nose.

Song Dashan came over and asked Li Mo, "what's the matter? Like these flowers? "

Li Mo did not answer, but asked song Dashan: "brother Dashan, are there many roses in the village?"

Song Dashan shook his head. "There are not many flowers in the village. Most of them are planted in their own yard by some people. Usually, there are not many, but there are many in the back mountain."

Li Mo was happy and asked, "is there any golden flower in the back mountain?"

Song Dashan frowned suspiciously, "what is Zhijin flower? I don't think I've heard of it. "

Li Mo thought that this kind of plant is very common, shouldn't it have no name? Isn't it the name of this era? At present, the characteristics of this plant are described to song Dashan in detail.

After hearing this, song Dashan knew what Li Mo was talking about. At the beginning, he thought it was a kind of flower. In fact, it was a kind of white plant that looked like grass. It was called XuanCao. It was everywhere in the back mountain and grew all year round. It smelled like a faint fragrance. Many people in the village would pick it up and put it in the bottle.

After listening to song Dashan, Li Mo is sure that this is Zhijin flower. With Zhijin flower, the materials for making perfume are all ready, so there is no problem.

Li Mo didn't hide it. He told song Dashan about his plan to make perfume. "Brother Dashan, this perfume costs at least 15 Wen a small box in the powder shop. I only need roses and Hemerocallis to make it. The cost is about nothing. I can make more of it, and then sell it to the village's daughter-in-law for 5 Wen a box. They are sure to buy it."

Song Dashan was really surprised. He didn't expect that the little lady he bought by accident not only had good makeup skills, but also made perfume. Looking at the beautiful appearance, song Dashan remembered that Zhao changbang said at lunch that he had found the treasure. He couldn't help admitting that he had found the treasure, which was priceless.

Song Dashan's distracted Li Mo didn't find out. He asked himself what he didn't understand: "brother Dashan, where can I make a small box with a lid that can be used to hold perfume?"

Song Dashan was called back by Li Mo's question. He said, "it's OK to make an iron box, but it's too expensive. One of them costs about two or three Wen. You'd better make a wooden box. One of them costs about one Wen. Uncle Zhang in the village has been a carpenter all his life. You can ask him to do it."

Li Mo listens and nods in agreement. Since it's a low price route and the buyer is the daughter-in-law of the village, the wooden box is OK. As long as the things in it are good, no one will buy them.

Li Mo thought about it, but he still had to have a box to prepare for it, so he had to fix the box first.

When song Dashan heard the speech, he took Li Mo to turn around and went straight to Uncle Zhang's house.

Uncle Zhang's family is at the east end of the village. He has been a carpenter all his life, and his craftsmanship has been handed down from generation to generation. Whenever a family in the village wants to make any furniture, they come to see Uncle Zhang.As soon as you enter Uncle Zhang's yard, you can see that the yard is full of wood. There is a place in the corner where there are a lot of tools. All around are sawdust, and a few pieces of furniture are put aside.

Song Dashan first yelled at the hall, and in the next second came a thick reply: "coming." Then came out of the room a man of about forty or fifty years old. He was not tall, slightly strong, dark, and had a saw in his hand.

Seeing that it was song Dashan, Uncle Zhang said, "it's Dashan. You're here to get the basin. I've made it. I'll give it to you." Then, without waiting for song Dashan to respond, he went into the room again. After a while, he came out with a big basin and handed it to song Dashan: "come on, the bath basin you want is ready for you."

Li Mo looked at the basin in Uncle Zhang's hand. It was about one meter in diameter and half a meter deep. It was really used for bathing.

Think of oneself just came that day is to bathe with washbasin, this washbasin is to hit for her.

Li Mo looks at Song Dashan pleasantly, her eyes are bright.

Song Dashan saw Li Mo's bright eyes and couldn't stop being happy. He couldn't help but turn up his mouth and said thanks to Uncle Zhang with a smile. Then he pulled Li Mo forward and said, "uncle, this is my wife."

Uncle Zhang saw Li Mo beside song Dashan before, but it's not easy to ask. Song Dashan took the initiative to introduce him, and then he nodded with a smile, "well, I'll live a good life for two people in the future."

Song Dashan nodded with a smile, and then said the purpose: "uncle, I have something to ask you for help today. I want you to make some small wooden boxes for me."

Uncle Zhang asked, "what do you want to do? Tell me more about it. "

Song Dashan looks at Li mo. Li Mo comes forward with a smile, opens his hand to compare the size, and explains to Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, I want to make a round one that is about this big and high, and then take a lid, which can be opened and put some rouge powder in it."

After listening to this description, Uncle Zhang immediately understood and answered, "don't worry. This is simple. How many do you want? How many days? "

Li Mo thought about it and answered, "I want 10 first. I want to get them as soon as possible. I don't know how many days Uncle Zhang can do it well?"

Uncle Zhang estimated, "ten are not many. Just come and get them the day after tomorrow."

The price is the same as song Dashan's estimate, one is only 1 Wen, 10 is 10 Wen.

Li Mo quickly takes out 10 Wen from the sleeve basket to Uncle Zhang.

After the agreement, Li Mo three people just went home.

Li Mo says to song Dashan that he wants to go to Houshan to pick roses and Hemerocallis. Song Dashan thinks about it and arranges his work. "I'll go to the field to plant peanuts later when I get home. I can plant them tomorrow, and then I'll take you to pick flowers the morning after tomorrow."

Li Mo has no opinion to this arrangement, nod to agree.

Song Dashan means that he went to plant peanuts by himself, but Li Mo also followed him with a hoe. Of course, song Xiaobao, the little tail, naturally followed him, so the three members of the family went out again.

Before the ridge has been dug a hole, as long as the peanut seeds sprinkled into the pit, and then buried with soil, and then water on the line.

Li Mo took the peanut seeds and put them into the pits one by one. Then song Dashan followed him and filled the pits with a hoe.

This job is much simpler than hoeing. Li Mo did it. They worked until it was late, and finally finished planting the peanuts. Next, they just need to water them tomorrow.

When they get home, Xiao Bao goes to play in the yard, and Li Mo and song Dashan go into the kitchen to cook dinner.

The meat and bones bought before are still frozen in the jar. Li Mo takes them out and plans to cook them all tonight. The family will have a good meal.

Cut a little pork, stir fry it with green pepper given by Aunt Zhao before, then stew it with pig bone, and then stew it with pork. This meal is absolutely rich.

Since there are good dishes, there is no need for rice. Li Mo scoops out a bowl of brown rice directly, and then scoops out more than half a bowl of milled rice to cook dry rice.

When the food was almost cooked, a voice came from the kitchen door: "Dashan."

Li Mo turns around and sees song Dashan's mother standing at the kitchen door with two children in her hand. They are the two children brought by Wang Cuihua yesterday.
