He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are more mosquitoes. Lu Sheng and Lu Yan have been bitten in the past few days and cannot rest well. Taking advantage of another break, Lu Yan planned to go back and make some mosquito repellent.

In addition to mint, mugwort is also very useful in repelling mosquitoes. And when Lu Yan looked on the road that day, there were mugwort everywhere in the village, which was very easy to find.

Before returning home, Lu Yan specially prepared beeswax and was going to make peppermint ointment when she got back.

Peppermint paste is very easy to make. Use the method of making peppermint oil before to make peppermint oil, then add beeswax and heat to melt it. When it solidifies again, the peppermint paste is ready. Peppermint ointment is very similar to the cooling oil of later generations. It is very effective in refreshing and repelling mosquitoes. It is packed in a small wooden box three centimeters square and sold for 20 yuan a box.

Lu Yan was shocked by the price at first, but Lu Sheng said that it would definitely sell, and he could just take it to the county school to sell it. Lu Yan thought about it and realized that the cost was not low and it used so much oil, so she agreed to let him try it.

Lu Yan left a bottle of peppermint oil unused and planned to make a simple mosquito coil at home. Lu Yan pulled out a lot of mugwort on the road, washed it and dried it in the sun until the leaves curled and turned white. Lu Yan pulled off the leaves, kneaded them into a ball of mugwort, poured some peppermint oil on the mugwort, and put it on Put it in a small incense burner and light it, and the simple mosquito coil is ready.

The mosquitoes in the Lu family were immediately fumigated, and Lu Sheng and Lu Yan finally had a good sleep.

The next day, Lu Sheng went to the county school with five boxes of mint ointment.

The so-called spring is sleepy, autumn is sleepy, summer takes a nap, and winter is March when you can't wake up. No matter which dynasty, students preparing for exams are undoubtedly the most difficult group.

After lunch, the afternoon class started in less than a quarter of an hour. Xue Zhuoyuan was so sleepy that he yawned. Before he could finish his yawn, he suddenly smelled an overbearing cool smell.

Xue Zhuoyuan opened his eyes and began to search for the smell. Then he saw Lu Sheng take out a small wooden square box. When he opened the square box, there was a light green paste inside. The strange and attractive smell came from that thing.

Lu Sheng used his fingers to apply a little on his temples and let out a contented sigh.

"What is this?" Xue Zhuoyuan asked.

"Mint ointment." Lu Sheng pushed the mint ointment towards Xue Zhuoyuan: "Try it."

Xue Zhuoyuan was not polite. He followed Lu Sheng's example and applied a little on his temples. The sudden coolness hit his brain, as if two strong convection drafts passed through his brain, and his hearing and vision suddenly became brighter.

Xue Zhuoyuan's eyes widened: "What a good thing! It's so cold that I tremble, just like those bastards stuffing snow into my collar during a snowball fight in winter."

Lu Sheng burst out laughing.

Xue Zhuoyuan asked again: "Where did you get it?"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly: "Lu Yan did it."

Xue Zhuoyuan understood instantly: "Oh! How much is it?"

Lu Sheng chuckled and wiped out another unopened box: "20 Wen per box. My good brother will give you a discount, just give me 15 Wen."

Without saying a word, Xue Zhuoyuan counted out 15 Wen to Lu Sheng and took the mint ointment away.

"This not only refreshes the mind, but also has a certain effect in repelling mosquitoes." Lu Sheng said: "If you are bitten by a mosquito, applying some of this can also relieve the itching."

The scholar sitting in the row behind the two couldn't help hearing this: "Really or not? I've been bitten to death by mosquitoes in the past two days."

Lu Sheng put the mint ointment in front of him again: "You can try it."

The scholar happily smeared it on his mosquito bag, waited quietly for a while, and said, "It seems to be of some use. Give me a box too."

Lu Sheng sold another box, it was so beautiful. While collecting the money, he said, "Do you want mosquito coil? Lu Yan made something two days ago. She said it's called mosquito coil. Go to bed at night. We haven't been bitten in a long time."

"I want it, I want it!" There was a chorus of voices in the school.

With the order from the county school, Lu Yan was rubbing moxa wool when she had nothing to do. Lu Sheng sells mosquito-repellent incense for two cents per ball, and one ball can be burned all night. However, many scholars only burn it when they study at night, and go directly under the mosquito net when they sleep. Therefore, they can be used for three to five days in one batch, which is a great saving.

After opening the store for such a period of time, the direction of the Spring Equinox and Winter Solstice has gradually emerged. At the Spring Equinox, I can already get started with various foods. I can cook wontons quickly and easily, and I can also get started filling egg pancakes. I still need to be more proficient in making pancakes.

Winter Solstice is the age when she likes to run around. She picks all the mugwort leaves used to rub mosquito coils at home, and she often has some fantastic ideas, such as rolling the moxa into a long strip and putting it in a coil in the incense burner. It has a higher utilization rate when lit than rolled into a ball, and it is similar to the mosquito-repellent incense trays of later generations.

Lu Sheng took another bath. When the two of them went home again, the mint soap that was dried for the first time was almost dry. When they were about to go back, they stopped by Qingyanfang to sell it. This time it is a well-deserved functional soap. It can be sold for fifty cents a piece, and you can earn more than one tael of silver at a time.

Lu Yan asked Xu to make the pajamas for her. Xu also made them and showed them to Lu Yan. They made sleeveless tops and large pants with soft lining fabric. Lu Yan was overjoyed and very happy.

In addition to pajamas, Mrs. Xu also made Lu Sheng a summer shirt and a hair crown: "It's your birthday soon. If you don't take a break for your birthday this year, you probably won't be able to come back, so I'll prepare it first." I’ll give you your birthday gift in advance and let Yan’er cook you a bowl of noodles.”

Lu Sheng nodded obediently, and Lu Yan was shocked: "Birthday? When is Lu Sheng's birthday?"

"Sheng'er's birthday is on the third day of June. It's only a few days away, and the family hasn't given him a birthday, so you can just cook him some noodles." Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

"Yes, don't worry too much." Lu Sheng said.

Lu Yan patted her chest: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Yan hesitantly, always feeling that she was holding back some big move, and he didn't think she took "don't care" to heart at all.

Lu Yan looks cute and smiles on the outside, but in her heart she is already running wildly in the sea of ​​Monkey King.gif. The current business is very good, but she still feels itchy when she thinks about how she earned fifty taels of silver once by holding a wedding banquet. She always thinks about how quickly the money will come in if she can get more banquets.

It happened to be Lu Sheng's birthday, so she had to seize this opportunity. If she didn't organize a birthday party for him as a living sign, she would be wasting this great opportunity.

She must host Lu Sheng's birthday party this time.

It doesn't matter whether I make money or not, the main thing is to give Lu Sheng an unforgettable birthday. Lu Yan said.
