After a night of excitement, Shen Shiliu went back to the county town on the second day. There were only a few days until the Beggar's Day.

When they arrived at the town, Shen Shiliu went ahead to help sell the broth. This time, she bought a lot of food, so she couldn't take it all by herself.

Du Xuan Mo laughed, "The pomegranate girl is smarter than me, what do you think I can sell them for?"

Du Xuanmo truly felt the same when he heard this! Men and women did not dare to be brazen due to etiquette, if they sold floral stick, there would be a lot of people coming to buy it!

"pomegranate girl is really smart, I think this method is really good!" Du Xuan Mo said with a smile.

Shen Shiliu also laughed. She was just laughing at Du Xuan Mo's ability to trick people, using the term "clever as ice" to describe her wasn't really appropriate. However, someone's praise was always better than someone's curses!

Shen Shiliu thought for a moment, then said: "Wait for me!" She then ran over to her own stall and took out a piece of Red Bean Cake from her bag. She brought some today for Shen Shu to eat for lunch.

"Try it, I'm going to sell this!" Shen Shiliu handed the Red Bean Cake to Du Xuan Mo.

Du Xuan Mo received it and first examined it for a moment. Then he said, "It really is a Hibiscus Jade Body. Just looking at it is enough!"

The Shen Shiliu said: "Don't praise him yet, taste it first!"

Du Xuan laughed as he put it into his mouth, then felt a sweet taste in his mouth. The fragrance of the red beans filled his nose and mouth, but it wasn't too greasy. It was truly delicious.

Shen Shiliu laughed happily: Then I'll be counting on your blessings! From the looks of it, unless the taste was too weird, the rest of the normal people should be able to buy it!

Du Xuan Mo also laughed along, and the Shen Shiliu said: "I'll bring you some tomorrow, but our family has done a lot anyway!"

Tomorrow, I will also make some floral stick too. At that time, pomegranate girl will help me see if it's okay! Du Xuan Mo said.

Shen Shiliu nodded. She felt that having a partner on her way to business was really good, really great!

When noon arrived, Shen Shiliu followed Shen's Father to the grain store. Shen Shiliu had already calculated the amount at home and bought it in proportion to avoid wasting it. Shen's Father and the shop assistant placed the purchased rations onto a cart. The father and daughter then went to a butcher's shop to buy Sheep-head and Sheep-hoof. This was a main business and could not be neglected.

When they arrived home, they ate lunch first. The family then busied themselves, one with meat broth and the other with pastries. The Liang family started to help out, and the family was extremely busy.

Shen Shu knew that his family was busy today, so he quickly returned to help out. Shen Shiliu was even busier, and when he saw that he was almost there, it would be easier for him to earn more money.

After working for an entire afternoon and night, they had finally finished the stuffing. Shen Shiliu was afraid of the weather so she found a bucket to tie up the rope and sank into the well.

"Everyone, let's sleep first. I'm really tired today. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow!" The Shen's Father said.

Shen Shiliu was truly tired, so she went back to her room and slept on the bed. The next morning, she went to help sell meat soup, and also brought some pastries that she had prepared earlier for Du Xuan Mo.

Du Xuan Mo looked at the various pastries in the basket, all of which were delicious, and said, "This is too much, don't you want to keep it for sale?"

"You can take it and eat it. This is my first batch, and the quality isn't too good either. Don't even think of it as an excuse for aunty!" The Shen Shiliu said.

"I don't mind, I don't mind. My mom probably hasn't eaten this kind of cake either. She'll definitely like it!" Then, he took out four floral stick s from his book and handed them over to Shen Shiliu.

"This is a floral stick I made from four colored paper using Fenshui. Do you think it's nice?" The floral stick red powder in his hand was blue and green, the color of his spirit.

When Shen Shiliu saw this, he truly felt that Du Xuan was extremely clever. The thickness of the paper just so happened to be good, she pierced a hole in it to tie it up with tassels, drew a flower on it, and then mentioned a poem. A good handwriting is already pleasing to the eyes, the floral stick is a work of art in the eyes of the Shen Shiliu!

"It's nice, I think all the young ladies and boys will like it!" Shen Shiliu carefully pinched it and looked at it again and again. When he returned it back to Du Xuan Mo, Du Xuan Mo said, "Treat it as a return gift. Your basket of pastries is much more numerous than my floral stick!"

Shen Shiliu laughed and said: "Then I'll accept it. It's really very pretty!"

Du Xuan laughed. Then, he said, "Then when we get out of the stall, our two families will be next to each other. There are also people who want to talk!"

"Done!" Shen Shiliu was right there, right beside him.

There were more and more people at the meat soup stall, so Shen Shiliu couldn't just keep talking. She said to Du Xuan Mo, "Just bring the basket and small plates here tomorrow, I'll be leaving first!" Then she hurried back to help.

Du Xuan Mo agreed and then looked at the pastries in the basket, all of them round and jade like they were Shen Shiliu's.

In the afternoon, Shen Shiliu went to the osmanthus trees at the back of the mountain to hunt for osmanthus flowers. She carried a long bamboo pole and sprinted towards the back of the mountain with a clean piece of coarse cloth.

When they reached under the tree and laid down the coarse cloth, Shen Shiliu used a bamboo pole to beat the osmanthus flowers. The osmanthus flowers rustled and fell, and Shen Shiliu smelled the delicate fragrance of the osmanthus flowers, her mood becoming even better.

"Pomegranate?" Someone shouted from behind. Shen Shiliu turned her head and saw that Han Shuliang and Han Mei had also arrived, it was also a bamboo pole and a piece of coarse cloth.

"Yes." Shen Shiliu replied and looked at him.

Han Mei's expression was awkward. A few days ago she was already engaged to someone, and now looking at Shen Shiliu caused her heart to be filled with mixed feelings.

Shen Shiliu didn't think too much into it. Although she knew why Han Mei was feeling awkward, it had nothing to do with her.

The two groups of people were fighting osmanthus flowers on both sides of the tree. On the Shen Shiliu's side, they were jumping up and down, and would gasp for breath after a short while of fighting. After resting for a while, she would fight again.

"I'm leaving first!" The Shen Shiliu said goodbye to the Han siblings and left. The Han Mei followed behind them and said, "Pomegranate, don't get us together again in the future …"

Han Shuliang sighed, the Han Mei had yet to put him down, but he was right, Shen Shu could be considered a good youth in the village, it was a pity that he missed him. But so what if it was a pity? The Shen family did not want to be relatives with the Han family, and since the Han Mei had promised someone else, what could they do if they did not give up?

Shen Shiliu laughed, "Beautiful sister, don't worry, we won't have any!" Then, she waved goodbye to the two siblings and left.

Han Shuliang sighed, "Beautiful, don't even think about it, it's impossible!"

When Shen Shiliu returned home, she first washed the osmanthus flowers and then used a dustpan to load them on top of the flowers and dry them on the side.

On the other hand, Shen's Father and Mrs. Zheng each had a hammer in their hands. They had bought a lot of glutinous rice this time, so they had to beat the rice up in batches.

"Dad, mom, we'll take a break after a while. There's still enough time!" Shen Shiliu advised her parents, and the Liang clan also said, "That's right, it would be bad if we get tired."

Shen's Father and Mrs. Zheng had also heard their advice. A poor person had no right to be sick, when that time comes, how could he have the money to go see a doctor?

When Shen's Father sat down, he took out some wood. He had just finished half of his carts s and the two carriages were finished. After that, he would have to make boards and two handrails.

"Perfect, there will be a lot of pastries when the time comes. The big carts will need it!" Shen Shiliu laughed and said.

The Shen's Father smiled as he beat around the bush. Mrs. Zheng took out the water to boil the mung beans and gave each of them a bowl.

At night, Shen Shu returned home. When he arrived, he did not care about eating and instead helped to beat up the glutinous rice.

"Done. I'll do it at home tomorrow. It'll be sold the next day!" The Shen's Father said, counting the days.

Shen Shu said: "It's just right, Mr. Song wants to take this opportunity to go back home and not kiss for a few days, I can help too."

Shen Shiliu drank some porridge and said, "You will have less energy tomorrow. You can even cook it during the day and steam at night. You will definitely make it in time! Tomorrow, Father doesn't forget to go to the yamen to buy wooden signs for the stalls. Oh right, I'm right next to Young Master Du! "

The whole family nodded. This was the only way to live!
