Hua Yu: "Yes, yes, yes. After what happened tonight, we don't have much firewood left to cook. Now in town, it's not like before, when we had to go to the mountains to chop firewood."

Yan Haochen: "Why don't we ask Second Sister to chop some firewood for us and bring it over. We'll pay her, and she can also make some money."

Xiang Mingyue nodded and said, "Tomorrow, ask He Zhi to send a message back to my second sister, asking her to buy the firewood we use in the town. We can pay a little more money."

After all, there is Mingfu in Zhongling Village, so Xiang Mingyue has to take care of him.

After this was agreed upon, they each washed up and went to bed.

After breakfast the next day, Xiang Mingyue went to work. Yan Haochen took Fu Yixian and Hua Yu to buy vegetables. He then went to He Zhi's parking lot and asked him to help deliver a message. After sending the two back to the courtyard, he went to the ceramic workshop alone.

Seven thousand small bottles; this ceramic workshop certainly doesn't have that many in stock.

Yan Haochen gave a deposit of fifty taels and shipped back their existing six hundred-odd bottles first. He asked them to slowly burn the rest within a month and deliver them to a small courtyard in the back street of the yamen.

The two parties signed the contract, and Yan Haochen took the more than 600 small bottles back to the courtyard.

The three of them washed and dried the small bottles, and when Xiang Mingyue came back in the evening, they could fill them with the ointment they had made yesterday.

When Xiang Mingyue came back in the evening, he brought two knives specifically for cutting medicinal herbs.

The knife was mounted on a long bench, and it could be used to cut large handfuls of herbs by just raising and lowering it, instead of using a kitchen knife like they did yesterday.

With these two big knives, Huayu felt it was very easy to cut medicinal herbs.

During the day today, he saw several people buying firewood on the road, so he bought their firewood. This way, he could have more pots to boil ointment tonight.

Fu Yixian put the ointment that he had prepared yesterday, which had already become a paste, into small bottles. There were a total of 42 bottles. At this rate, it would be a bit rushed to finish the one-month bottle.

After working hard for another night, Huayu's initial enthusiasm was completely gone, and in the end she was just cutting the herbs mechanically.

The same was true for Yan Haochen. Fu Yixian looked at the fire in the two big pots, and his cheeks were also red from being roasted by the fire.

Xiang Mingyue had to add medicinal materials from time to time, stir it, and finally filter it, let it cool, and wait until the liquid became a paste before bottling it.

After being busy for more than half a month, more than 7,000 bottles of ointment were finally completed.

Xiang Mingyue picked a noon after work to go to Nan Yiling and asked her to prepare a car to transport the ointment. There were four people in their family, and they were really tired of the ointment this month.

After Nan Yiling and his men took away all the ointments, he gave her the remaining balance and said, "I'll come to you if I need it in the future." Xiang Mingyue really wanted to refuse such words.

But when she saw the five thousand taels of silver, she agreed spinelessly.

Five thousand taels were placed on the table. The four people looked at the five thousand taels of silver on the table and wanted to throw it away, but no one was willing to do so.

This is the money they earned bit by bit, and they must not lose it.

Xiang Mingyue: "Achen, put it away! See what we need to buy for the family. It's already autumn, and we need to prepare for the winter. With these five thousand taels, we can have a good winter.

Yan Haochen hesitated and asked, "Should we give Yixian Ayu some hard work fee?"

Huayu nodded repeatedly. Although she couldn’t get the biggest share, she also wanted some compensation for her hard work!

Fu Yixian: "I want to open a bookstore."

After Fu Yixian finished speaking, he looked at Xiang Mingyue.
