Chapter 21

Four of them rushed home, and they didn't have any time to take a break. Song Dashan drove the ox-cart back to return the cart. With their baskets on their backs, the other three immediately dashed towards the back mountain. Taking advantage of the daybreak, they started picking up several baskets of flowers and then rushed home under the moonlight.

The two children bought something to eat on the road and let them eat slowly, and the three adults simply made some food to cushion their stomachs and then rushed to make the balm with a candle.

When Song Dashan came back from Fahua Mountain again, he was still holding the large push box he had just picked up when he went to Uncle Zhang's house.

Just in time, they put the newly made balm into the box until the dead of the night * and finally rushed out a hundred boxes of new balm.

* * (T/N: until the dead of the night; in the middle of the night/until it was dark) * *

After the three of them finished the balm, they were very tired, but they couldn't help but smile. Life is like this. No matter how tired you are, if you strive for happiness, all is clear.

The four of them slept in a hurry, and when the chickens hadn't started crowing, they rushed to the neighboring village again with their things and then went to Fahua Mountain together.

Unlike yesterday, fewer people came, but they're not the same people who came yesterday. Most people come only once every three days. Some people come on the first day, some choose to go on the second day, and some decide to go on the last day.

It was almost the same as yesterday. The people who came were very interested in Li Mo's balm, especially women from ordinary families. They asked Li Mo if they could try it.

Some would not buy it after testing the product, but most people would take out eight wen to buy a box and cherish it in their pockets, leaving smiles on their faces. Would they be unhappy when they think that they can use the balm that rich people only use?

Most people buy one box, but today, a woman bought fifteen boxes at once.

This woman is only about sixteen or seventeen years old. She looked presentable, didn't look like she was married. Her mother accompanied her. The two of them were attracted by the women who were surrounding Li Mo's stall. So they stopped by and saw that Li Mo was selling balm.

This young lady is called Xiaoting, and her family lives in Yuanfu Town. Her father is a master of a county, her brother is an officer, and she was the only daughter in the family. She was very much loved at home and was about to get married. She was wondering if she would have the opportunity to accompany her mother again, so she took advantage of this time and followed her mother to stroll around the temple fair,

Originally, she didn't lack perfume balms and didn't want to buy one, but when she saw the balm sold at this stall, she wanted to buy it.

The target of her marriage was a talented man, but his family background was not too good. Initially, her mother and father disagreed, but her heart was tied to him, and she was willing to marry him, even if she knew that life with him would be hard. So, after she cried and begged, her parents finally agreed.

Seeing that she was about to get married soon, she needed to send back a gift to Li Man's family, and when she met the juniors, she also needed to send them a gift. She made shoes and socks for his close relatives, but there are so many sisters and aunts in his family. All of them should be given a gift. She had a headache just thinking about it. She didn't know what gift she should give. Her mother said to buy some purses in the store, and she would send one purse per person, but she always thinks it's not appropriate. Tian has wondered if there is anything more worth giving, but not so expensive, but at the same time, it is attractive.
