Adding it to soap for washing hair is quite a novel idea.
"Okay! Lili, think about what kind of medicinal herbs you want first, and I'll have the medicine merchant send them to you when I get back to Jiangdu!" Liu Ying nodded.
After the gifts were given, everyone chatted for a while, and then Gu Lili started arranging rooms for Liu Miaoyin and her son Liu Ying.
After a long journey, Liu Ying chatted with Grandma Li for a while, and Liu Miaoyin also spent half a day playing at the beach. Both of them looked very tired.
The wooden beds that Lao Zhou and his team made today have never been slept in. Gu Lili's two grand-apprentices offered to give up their beds for Liu Ying and her daughter to sleep in.
Anyway, I can make another one tomorrow, so it doesn't matter if I make do for one night.
Gu Lili, Gu Chenxi, and Old Mrs. Li took the brand-new bedding and went to help the mother and daughter tidy up the room.
The two had already seen this bunk bed before; although it was smaller than the one at home, it was still big enough for them to sleep in.
The new cotton quilt that Gu Lili brought was soft and gentle on the skin, and the mother and daughter were very satisfied.
After settling Liu Ying and her daughter in, Gu Lili and her two companions returned to the neighboring courtyard.
When they returned, Gu Yun Chu and Zhang Da Hua had also come back.
Because she was thinking about the medicinal herbs, Gu Lili asked Gu Chenxi to serve the two of them the crab legs she had saved, plus an Australian lobster that Gu Lili had added later, before she went to her room.
As soon as the door opened, Little Fox jumped out with a mournful expression.
It turned out that today, it had returned from hunting with Wei Yin, and fearing it would startle the guests, it had gone into Gu Lili's room to rest.
No one knows who locked Gu Lili's door from the outside.
Little Fox can now close and open doors.
However, once locked up from the outside, they can't get out.
Its belly had already been filled up with food on the mountain with Wei Yin, but now a sudden urge to defecate was rising straight to the top of its head.
If Gu Lili had arrived any later, she probably would have received the "big gift" from Xiao Li'er's belly.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" Little Fox let out several smelly farts in a row, and then strode straight out of the courtyard.
Gu Lili was so overwhelmed by the stench that she almost threw up her dinner. She quickly jumped aside to breathe in the fresh air.
Looking at the little fox's comical appearance, Gu Lili was both angry and amused.
Before long, Little Fox returned looking relaxed.
It started rubbing against Gu Lili's feet again.
Gu Lili chuckled and patted its head before taking it into the room to sleep.
To prevent Xiao Li'er from frightening Liu Ying and her son, as well as Yu Shan Hai, early tomorrow morning, Gu Li Li decided that Xiao Li'er should sleep in her own room tonight.
I'll formally introduce Little Fox to everyone at breakfast tomorrow.
After closing the door, Gu Lili took out a battery-powered desk lamp from her storage space and placed it on the table.
I bought another book about making medicated soap and started studying it.
She had never made medicated soap before, and she wasn't very clear about the recipe or anything like that.
This is medicine, so we have to be very careful. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be terrible.
While reading, Gu Lili took out a pen and scribbled in the small notebook in front of her.
Upon checking, two hours had already passed.
Gu Lili looked at the paper she had written on so densely, then stood up and stretched.
The formula is ready; tomorrow I'll give Liu Ying the list of the medicinal herbs I need.
It seems our own house isn't big enough.
We need to find more craftsmen tomorrow; let him go and find some more people.
We need to hurry up and build the canteen, and then plan to expand the buildings.
And this matter needs to be addressed urgently.
Because the autumn harvest is just around the corner.
Finding craftsmen would not be easy if it came to autumn harvest.
Food is the foundation of people's livelihood, so the autumn harvest is very important.
When winter comes, almost every household in the village has nothing to do.
Several people from one family can come to Gu Lili's house to work. If the workshop is expanded, it will definitely be able to stock up on a lot of goods.
After thinking it over, Gu Lili decided to go find the craftsman tomorrow morning.
After reading for two hours, my head felt dizzy and my eyelids were drooping.
Seeing that the little fox was already fast asleep, Gu Lili turned off the lamp and lay down on the bed to sleep fully clothed.
When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn.
Because she had something on her mind, Gu Lili couldn't continue sleeping in.
He quickly changed his clothes, took the little fox to wash up, and went straight to the sheepfold to find the money craftsman.
When Gu Lili arrived, they had already been working for quite a while.
The weather has been hot lately, and it's really impossible to work under the scorching sun at noon.
In order not to delay the progress, they started building the houses before dawn.
When it gets really hot, everyone can finally take a break.
Gu Lili inspected the area and, finding no problems, explained her purpose to Craftsman Qian.
Upon hearing this, Craftsman Qian immediately patted his chest and assured Gu Lili that he could find dozens more people for her that very day.
"I've been in this business for decades. I'll find a few craftsmen for the county magistrate today! Even if you need dozens more, I can find them too!"
Looking at the confident look on Qian the craftsman's face, Gu Lili believed him.
What was initially thought to be a joke by Craftsman Qian turned out to be a reality very quickly.
Because when Gu Lili brought Xiao Li'er back, there were five more carriages parked in front of her house.
They all came with contracts to sell soap.
Moreover, people kept arriving throughout the day.
Gu Lili had the soaps loaded onto the cars of the wealthy merchants one by one, and after receiving payment, the deal was considered done.
"Your Highness, may I be so bold as to ask if there is an inn in this village where we can rest and have some food?" The portly Zhang Chenggui asked with an embarrassed expression.
The five of them agreed to come together from Jiangdu, but because they hadn't thought things through beforehand, they hadn't paid a deposit.
Later, seeing that many merchants in Jiangdu had signed contracts with Li Ershu, they became anxious.
I couldn't get the soap because of my height, and I was already exhausted from the journey.
Now that we've managed to snag some soap, we can take a good rest and head back.
Gu Lili felt a little embarrassed and said, "The inn doesn't have any, but if you don't mind, you can stay and have some food at my house."
This is just a village, where would an inn come from?
The group waved their hands repeatedly, declining Gu Lili's offer.
It seems that for now, we can only force ourselves to get to Donghai Town and rest there.
After seeing off the businessmen, Gu Lili began to make plans in her mind again.
If the reputation of Gu's workshop grows, there will inevitably be many merchants coming and going.
Inns and restaurants are also indispensable.
Old Mrs. Li can't just keep working at her own home forever; the Li family also has its own businesses.
