The two-day break passed quickly, and it was time for Xiao Ze to go to the academy again. Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo personally sent Xiao Ze to Mingde Academy. When they came back, they saw Song Zhoubai pacing back and forth in the yard with an anxious look on his face.

As soon as he saw Wen Shutang, he was like a hungry wolf seeing fat meat. He walked up to her anxiously with an excited tone.

"Madam Wen, do you have any extra perfume here?"

Wen Shutang was stunned when he heard this: "Yesterday I handed all the finished products to the servant sent by the young master. Why didn't he send them back?"

Song Zhoubai dropped his hands dejectedly upon hearing this. "Ah Liu came to get the perfume yesterday, but I waited for him for half the night and he never came back. I thought maybe something happened to him, so I immediately sent people to look for him. As a result, we found Ah Liu, who had been beaten to death, on a small road not far from the town."

He scratched his hair, his usual elegance completely gone.

"After being carried back, Ah Liu Qiang told me that all his perfumes were taken away by a few masked men, who also beat him up."

Wen Shutang was stunned when she heard the news. She remembered that the boy did leave alone yesterday.

"How could this happen?"

Song Zhoubai seemed really anxious: "I don't know who that group of people are. How many perfumes can Madam Wen make in three days?"

"Three days, excluding the time for washing the flowers, you can only make more than ten bottles at most," Wen Shutang frowned, thought for a while and replied.

Song Zhoubai's face turned even uglier when he heard this answer.

"The capital has sent someone to pick up the perfume, and many people in town have already reserved the perfume. More than ten bottles are not enough."

After hearing these words, Wen Shutang immediately understood why he was so anxious.

Not to mention the consequences of ignoring the people in the capital, if even the guests in the town cannot be satisfied, the reputation of the Song family will be greatly affected, which will also affect everything sold from the Song family.

Not only perfume, but tofu may also be affected.

At the very least, they will lose customers and earn less money, and at the worst, the Song family's business may be completely cut off.

No wonder Song Zhoubai was so anxious. He came to the village to find her without even taking a carriage.

Wen Shutang frowned, wondering who would want to steal the perfume.

However, the most urgent thing now is not to find this group of people, but to quickly solve the problem of insufficient perfume.

It’s not that he really wants to help Song Zhoubai, but mainly because Wen Shutang doesn’t want to cut off his own source of income.

"How much do you need now?"

"At least hundreds of bottles."

Wen Shutang frowned when he heard this number: "With so many, I probably won't be able to figure it out in three days."

Song Zhoubai was immediately in despair when he heard this. Thinking of so many pre-ordered perfumes, he could even imagine how the Song family's reputation would be damaged in the future.

"What should I do?" He clapped his hands.

"Madam Wen, please do more in the next three days, as much as you can. I will go and appease the guests who have made reservations." Song Zhoubai pursed his lips. This time he was too careless and did not take into account the existence of these villains.

Since it's his problem, he should bear the responsibility.

Wen Shutang raised her eyebrows as she saw Song Zhoubai's determined look. It seemed that this Young Master Song was not so spineless. She thought he would abandon the mess and run away with the money.

Just because of his sense of responsibility, Wen Shutang believed that he was an absolutely reliable partner.

"Actually, it's not that there is no solution at all." Wen Shutang touched his chin, rolled his eyes and whispered.

Hearing what Wen Shutang said, Song Zhoubai's eyes suddenly lit up.

"any solution?"

"One person certainly can't make hundreds of bottles, but if you ask a few more people to work together, you can't say for sure."

Song Zhoubai was stunned for a moment and then reacted, his tone a little hesitant.

"Hey, Madam Wen, are you willing to tell me how to make perfume?"

"Of course not. I want the young master to find a quiet place for me in the town, and I will find the people myself." Wen Shutang shook her head. She was not going to hand over her treasure, the perfume, yet.

As for manpower, Xiao Yizhuo and the two brothers of the Wen family are ready-made labor. They are family members and can be trusted.

"Okay, I have a yard in town that is not inhabited all year round. Not many people go there usually, and it is quite remote. When will Madam Wen go there? I will take you there now."

"Don't worry, let me go find two people. We can go after everyone is here."

Wen Shutang waved to Song Zhoubai, who leaned over to listen.

Wen Shutang whispered a few words in his ear. She now had a good idea to deal with the group of thieves.

Song Zhoubai nodded vigorously: "It is indeed a good idea. I was so anxious just now that I lost my mind. I want to see who is going against my Song family."

"If you are looking for a good man, Madam Wen, please come to the Star Picking Tower in town to find me. I will take you to that courtyard."

After saying that, he saw Wen Shutang nodded and then left the yard.

Wen Shutang narrowed his eyes and watched him leave, then turned around and said to Xiao Yizhuo: "Let's pack up and go find my second brother later."

Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly. He had just heard the entire conversation between the two. When Wen Shutang said that he was looking for help, he immediately thought of the two brothers of the Wen family.

Xiao Wan and Xiao Ye came out of the house only after they saw the guests standing in the yard leave.

"Mom, where are you going?" Xiao Ye ran to Wen Shutang and asked.

"How about we go to the town and stay for a few days and come back after a few days?" Wen Shutang touched the top of his head.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wan became anxious after hearing this: "What about big brother? He will be anxious when he comes back and sees that we are not here."

"It's okay, we'll only be gone for three days, and Aze won't be back until five days later." Wen Shutang explained patiently.

After getting this answer, the two anxious children immediately calmed down.

Xiao Ye was visibly excited: "Are the houses in town bigger than my home?"

"We'll find out when we get there."

After Wen Shutang comforted the two children, she went to look for someone, and Xiao Yizhuo was left in the yard to pack up.

It was the time when most people had just finished breakfast. Liu Sufen was cleaning the table in the yard. She saw Wen Shutang out of the corner of her eye and immediately turned around.

"Xiao Qiu'er? You came so early today. Aren't you busy at home?"

Wen Shutang quickly walked forward and took the plate from her hand: "It's okay, where are the eldest and second brothers?"

"They just finished their meal and are staying in the house. They will go to the fields soon. What's the matter? Do you have something to talk to them about?" Liu Sufen immediately turned around and shouted into the house.

"Big brother, come out!"
