How I Reached the Pinnacle of Life by Picking Up Scraps in Ancient Times

Lin Yue, a medical slacker from Beijing Normal University's Medical Research Institute, was sucked into a strange door by a mysterious force just because she casually complained a few words.

Chapter 4 From Trash to Hot Item: Lin Yue's "Fragrance" Encounter

After a satisfying meal and a few drinks, Lin Yue's gaze began to wander around, carefully observing every corner. Whether in the streets or in nature parks, he could see many items carelessly discarded. In Lin Yue's eyes, although some of these items were damaged, with a little care, they could still be used. Perhaps he could use these items to gain a foothold in this new era.

In a street corner, Lin Yue found a discarded Shu brocade quilt cover from a nobleman. "These people are so wasteful!" Lin Yue complained as he picked it up.

Lin Yue carefully cradled the Shu brocade quilt cover in her arms, already mulling over how to transform it. Finding another inn to rest, she spread the covers out on the floor, rolled her eyes, and immediately set to work. She cut away the less damaged sections of the quilt. Drawing on her knowledge of pharmacology, she found some herbs with insect repellent and calming properties, ground them into a powder, and sewed them into a small Shu brocade sachet.

Just like that, delicate and small sachets were born. Lin Yue looked at these sachets and felt that something was missing. "Got it! Let's do it!" Lin Yue immediately started fiddling with these sachets.

To enhance the beauty of the sachets, Lin Yue embroidered delicate patterns. She also used leftover Shu brocade scraps to craft small purses and handkerchiefs. Looking at these lifelike objects, Lin Yue felt a surge of accomplishment. "I'm so proud of myself! Look at these little things! I'll definitely make a killing tomorrow when I sell them on the street. Hahaha..."

As it was getting late, Lin Yue had to rest first.

The eastern sky was turning pale, and gradually, the white was tinged with traces of light red, as if a painter had accidentally added a touch of color to the horizon.

Lin Yue rubbed her sleepy eyes and stretched lazily. "It's time to get to work." Lin Yue muttered a few words, then got up, washed up quickly, picked up her "golden bowl", and went out...

Lin Yue took the handicrafts he made last night to the market, found an open space and started selling them.

"Don't miss it if you're passing by, come and take a look. These hand-sewn sachets are made of carefully selected silk and filled with a variety of spices. They repel mosquitoes and refresh the mind, and the fragrance is pleasant! The embroidery is exquisite, and every stitch and thread is made with love. There are many styles. Girls wear them around their waists for beauty and elegance, and gentlemen wear them for elegance and practicality! They are unique, don't miss them~"

At first, people just stood aside, looking at these sachets curiously, with puzzled and puzzled expressions on their faces, and seemed to have no interest in them. Few people took the initiative to ask the price or take a closer look.

At that moment, a young man suddenly opened a sachet, and a faint herbal fragrance wafted out. This fragrance seemed to have a magical power, attracting the attention of the people around. They gathered around, eager to find out what was going on.

When people got close to the sachets and smelled the refreshing and pleasant herbal aroma, the confusion on their faces was instantly replaced by surprise. They began to show great interest in these sachets, carefully examining their workmanship and design, and praising their exquisite appearance and unique fragrance.

"This sachet is not only beautiful, but also smells so good. It's so practical!"

"This craftsmanship is truly amazing. I've never seen such an exquisite and unique sachet."

"This sachet smells so special, it must have been made with special herbs, right?"

Lin Yue's stall suddenly became bustling with people exclaiming in admiration. They were so enamoured with these practical and beautiful handicrafts that they inquired about their prices and made purchases.

Lin Yue watched with delight as more and more people flocked to her store. She enthusiastically explained the characteristics and uses of the sachets to customers and patiently answered their questions. As time went by, her products quickly sold out.

As the "golden bowl" gradually filled with silver, Lin Yue's face showed a gratified smile. This silver not only represented the fruits of her labor, but also meant that she had taken a solid step towards gaining a foothold in this era.
