Gu Nian: "..."

Li Muyan's reminder reminded Gu Nian of men's skincare products.

Li Muyan is right. There are too many rich kids in this world who don't have to worry about food or clothing. If there are products that can help them take good care of their faces, they will definitely use them! It's not like we're asking them to wear makeup.

The two had a pleasant conversation. Aside from offering Gu Nian some advice, Li Muyan was completely agreeable to Gu Nian's terms regarding profit sharing.

Finally, the investment ratio and profit distribution ratio were determined.

Gu Nian alone accounts for 40% because she is the developer, and her work is of paramount importance.

The other four people each contributed 15%, while Li Muyan was responsible for making all the boxes, bottles, jars, and tools.

Gu Nian also taught the other three sisters how to extract, how to combine, and how to make various things.

She wasn't worried at all about whether the three of them could keep up. After all, Gu Xin dissolved each jade bead into water and gave each of the four sisters a bowl. In any case, Gu Xin's mind had visibly become more agile.

After reaching a preliminary agreement, Li Muyan suggested, "Gu Nian, you were planning to use that ice crusher to start a frozen drink business. Now that it's getting hot, once the Dragon Boat Festival is over, this business can be started. Why don't I go back and find a shop, and we can start selling frozen drinks first, and then continue this business after summer?"

Gu Nian was somewhat tempted, but still asked, "Is it hot in the prefectural city?"

Li Muyan shook his head: "I don't go out in the summer, anyway, it's not hot in my yard."

Gu Hui, who was dripping solution into a cup with a dropper, chimed in, "It was hot. I remember when my aunt gave birth to my cousin in June, my grandma and I went to visit her and my cousin. Because it was so hot, my aunt couldn't hold back in front of my grandma and beat up my uncle. Then it got even hotter."

Gu Nian: "!"

Li Muyan smirked. "Does the Gu family have no gentle girls left?"

Gu Xin said, "Sister, we can't stay in the prefectural city. Running around will tire you out. We can just ask someone to watch the shop for us. Brother Mu Yan is also in the prefectural city, so he can keep an eye on things if anything happens!"

Gu Nian nodded: "That's right, then we can go once every ten days from now on."

Li Muyan did want to see Gu Nian, but when he thought about how hot Gu Hui was just now, he gave up the idea.

He guessed that he didn't want Gu Nian to suffer!

No, it's not that I don't want to suffer, it's that I don't want to see someone sweating profusely in the heat—it doesn't look good! Yeah, that must be it.

...

That evening, when it was just the four of them, Cai Lian and Gu Nian took out saltpeter, and then Gu Xin took out a jade bead.

Gu Nian rubbed her hands together and said with a smile, "Xin Xin, watch your big sister perform a magic trick for you!"

After Gu Nian finished everything, she started preparing all sorts of dried fruits, peanuts, and other fruits that she had at home.

Gu Xin kept nagging, "Mom likes strawberries, Dad likes mangoes, and my sister likes dragon fruit. Mom likes crushed peanuts, Dad likes dried fruit, and my sister likes ice jelly! Mom likes to eat..."

Gu Nian smiled helplessly, "These are all our favorite foods. What about you? What do you like to eat?"

Gu Xin proudly raised her head: "I'm pretty good. I like everything that my parents and sister like to eat! Uncle, the child doesn't have to choose. Uncle, you and I are the easiest to feed in our family. We eat everything! We have a good appetite for everything!"
