After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

"I asked people in our village, and they all said they didn't know."

"Yes, how can ordinary people know this?"

"You want to buy flowers?"

Shen Li and Shen Xing turned around together and found that the person who was talking was a man. Could this be Aunt Zhou's husband?

"Yes, uncle, do you know where it is?" Shen Li asked politely.

"Yes, that's where I bought the seeds for these flowers."

"Where?" Shen Li asked anxiously.

"In the neighboring county of Hua County, the entire county grows flowers. There are all kinds of flowers, including fresh flowers, ornamental plants, and flower seeds."

That’s great! This solves her urgent problem.

"You're back?" Aunt Zhou walked over and said to the man.

"Well, is this the girl who bought the beehive you were talking about?"

"Yes." Aunt Zhou said to Shen Li: "Miss, this is my man."

Shen Li smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, my name is Shen Li, and this is my third brother Shen Xing."

"Okay." said Aunt Zhou.

Uncle Zhou didn't say anything and nodded.

"Uncle Zhou, do you know how far it is from here to Hua County?"

"If I walk, it will take at least a day. If I take a car, a bullock cart will take half a day. A horse carriage should be the fastest, but I have never taken one, so I don't know."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou. Thank you again for your help. Please keep the honeycomb for me. I will buy more when I run out of it."

They both readily agreed.

On the second day, Shen Li, Shen Xing and Shen Liang went to the county, spent two taels of silver to hire a carriage, and headed straight to Hua County.

It took us about an hour to get there. As soon as we entered Hua County, we saw vast expanses of colorful flowers, which were so beautiful.

Shen Li pulled the carriage curtain and took a deep sniff. It smelled so good. Although it was a mixture of many floral scents, it was very fragrant. It was not only a visual enjoyment, but also an olfactory enjoyment.

If you continue walking inside, you will find many pergolas, with one in front of each flower field. These should be built by the owner of the flower field to sell flowers.

The carriage went down along the main road. Shen Li was dazzled by the flowers. She really didn't know what to buy. There were peonies, crabapples, orchids, peonies, chrysanthemums, roses, daffodils, and even a peach blossom forest further down. There were many more flowers she didn't recognize. This place really was like a paradise on earth.

As they walked, Shen Li was stimulated by a very fragrant smell and sneezed several times. Was it the scent of jasmine? That was it. She asked the driver to stop the car, and then got off with Shen Liang and Shen Xing and walked to the pergola of the jasmine field.

"Shopkeeper, this is Jasmine, right?"

There was a young man sitting inside. He stood up from the stool when he saw the people coming. "Yes, it's Jasmine. Are you here to buy flowers?"

"Yes, smelling this jasmine, it's so fragrant."

"You have a good eye. Although this jasmine flower may not be as beautiful as other flowers, when it comes to fragrance, no other flower can compare to it."

"How do you sell these flowers?"

"By jin, fifty cents per jin."

“It’s not cheap.”

"These are fresh flowers. It costs a lot to grow them. Naturally, they can't be too cheap. Otherwise, how can we make money?"

Hearing this, Shen Li felt that he was quite honest. It was indeed not easy to grow flowers. "Then can I buy more to get a discount? The most important thing is that I might come again next time. This is not just a one-time transaction."

"Then it's 40 cents a pound. I have a fixed price here. If you buy in small quantities, it's 50. If you buy more than that, it's 40. I don't cheat anyone."

It seemed that there was no point in negotiating the price. Shen Li looked at Shen Liang and Shen Xing, and seeing that they nodded, he said, "Okay, it's settled. I don't know how many flowers can be weighed in one pound."

The young man pointed to the white cloth bag next to him and said, "That bag is five kilograms when it is full."

Shen Li estimated that one catty was forty coins, and one bag of five catties was one tael of silver: "I want six bags, thirty catties."

"Okay, I'll ask the florist to cut it for you now."

Shen Li took out six taels of silver and gave it to Shen Liang: "Second brother, you wait here. After he has finished packing, give him the silver. Third brother and I will go out to look for other things."

"Go."

Shen Li now has seven taels of silver left in her hand. She will need to pay two taels for the carriage, leaving only five taels. She also has to buy a small rouge box to hold the perfume, so she really can't buy more. But she comes here once, she can look at other flowers and ask about the prices so that she will have an idea next time she comes.

After a stroll with Shen Xing, I found that jasmine flowers are not that expensive. Some difficult-to-grow flowers may even cost one or two taels of silver per pound, and a pound is not a lot. Those large flowers, plus a small piece of flower stem, take up a lot of weight.

There are also some cheap flowers, such as chrysanthemums, which can be used to make tea, but have fewer other uses, such as making rouge, and many people don't like to use them as decorations.

Overall, flowers are not cheap, so it seems that her perfume is really not expensive.

On the way back, the three of them were squeezed together because most of the space in the carriage was taken up by flowers. They were afraid that the flowers would be crushed, so they tried to stay as far away as possible. The main reason was that Shen Li sneezed a lot along the way.

Finally, the carriage entered Heike Village, and Shen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Erya, just tell me, what did you use? Why does it smell so good? It smells so good."

"I already told you that this ointment was given to me by someone else."

"Who gave it to me? I really like it. Can you give me some? Just a little bit will do."

"There is no one left to give me."

"Er Ya, you are lying to me, right? Who can make something so good? You just don't want to tell me how you made this fragrance. Are you jealous that I am prettier than you?"

Shen Li was in the car. The closer he was, the clearer he could hear. Wasn't that voice Shen Yanyan, and also Sister Erya?

"What does it have to do with me whether you look good or not?" Li Erya said impatiently.

"Why is it none of your business? Who in this village looks better than me? You are like a tomboy, so you naturally don't care much about appearance. But Shen Li is your good friend. Everyone knows that she likes Brother Qin Yu, but she doesn't like her at all, and even hates her. Everyone knows that Brother Qin Yu treats me the most specially. The prettier I am, the more I can attract him. So, it's because of Shen Li that you won't tell me what the fragrance on your body is about. Erya, how can you do this? Am I not also your good friend?"

"A Li no longer likes Doctor Qin. Stop talking nonsense here. I don't want to pay attention to you. Get out of the way. I want to go home." Li Erya said angrily.

"No, unless you tell me where this fragrance comes from."

"Hey, Erya, just tell me. You know my cousin. She is the treasure of our Shen family. There is nothing she cannot get if she sets her eyes on it."
