After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 237 Giving Gifts
However, Su Xiaoxiao felt that simply giving him face cream wasn't quite sincere enough. So, she decided to create a perfume as well, hoping to persuade Huang Yuanxin to stop harboring resentment towards her.

Of course, it was also to thank Magistrate Huang. Face cream and such things are readily available, so there's nothing new about it.

Su Xiaoxiao then brought out all the essential oils, saying, "These essential oils should be good for making perfume, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao recalled seeing flower petals soaked in alcohol when she was a child, which could then be used as cosmetics and had amazing effects.

If you could add some essential oils, the effect would definitely double.

The rose petals that Su Xiaoxiao brought last time had all turned into dried flowers. Su Xiaoxiao took some out and used them.

However, it would be best to use some alcohol, specifically grain-based liquor, for the petals of these dried flowers. But Su Xiaoxiao didn't have any at home, only some high-proof liquor.

Su Xiaoxiao soaked rose petals in a high concentration of alcohol for at least one night, and that should be enough.

After seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao began to make her own bottle designs. These custom-made bottles were very high-end, resembling modern perfume bottles.

Of course, in order to appear more prestigious, Su Xiaoxiao also designed the bottle to resemble a modern, high-end perfume bottle as closely as possible.

Su Xiaoxiao took some time to visit the rapeseed field, where she could also see many butterflies.

Su Xiaoxiao went to catch butterflies by herself, and Liu Qiaomei said she wanted to go with her. Anyway, she had nothing to do at home, so at least she could go catch butterflies with her.

This was quite heartwarming; Liu Qiaomei always managed to help Su Xiaoxiao with things, and she even made a very breathable lid herself. Looking at the butterflies fluttering all over the mountains, Liu Qiaomei said with a touch of emotion, "Back in my hometown, around this time of year, as darkness fell, butterflies and dragonflies would land right in front of you. Some were quite bold and would land directly on your shoulder, and they wouldn't fly away for a long time. You just had to gently pinch their wings, and they wouldn't fly away..."

Liu Qiaomei made it sound so easy, but it really was that easy.

Just as Liu Qiaomei had said, they quickly caught several butterflies, and these butterflies were quite beautiful.

This was exactly what Su Xiaoxiao wanted, so she caught the butterflies and made some butterfly specimens.

This was Su Xiaoxiao's wish when she was a student in her previous life; it would be wonderful if she could make butterfly specimens.

When she got home, both Da Bao and Xiao Bao wanted the butterflies she had caught, but Su Xiaoxiao only showed them to them and didn't intend to let them play with them.

Su Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised to see that the dried flowers she had soaked the night before were starting to smell nice. She then took out some dried flowers and poured them out, and a new hope was rekindled in her heart. This time, the dried flower making was quite perfect.

After thinking it over, Su Xiaoxiao decided that she needed to filter out all the dried flowers, so she put them into a small bottle.

However, feeling that the layers weren't quite distinct enough, Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and finally took all the prepared essential oils and dripped them in together.

Su Xiaoxiao had no prior knowledge of these high-end perfume brands; she simply relied on her imagination while she was here.

After adding a drop of each ingredient, I mixed the front and back ingredients together.

After much effort, Su Xiaoxiao finally finished making the perfume. She dripped some onto her wrist to test it out, and she was completely captivated by it.

When Liu Qiaomei saw the perfume bottle in Su Xiaoxiao's hand, she was immediately curious and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "What is this thing?"

"Try it and you'll see, it's actually perfume."

"Is this the perfume you were talking about?"

Liu Qiaomei seemed very surprised. After asking Su Xiaoxiao, she received some affirmative answers.

With great curiosity, she stared at the bottle in front of her, looking at it again and again. It was the first time Liu Qiaomei had ever seen such a high-class bottle. She found it quite magical. After shaking the bottle well, Liu Qiaomei saw that the petals inside were very tempting. The beautiful petals made people feel happy as soon as they saw them.

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she saw Liu Qiaomei. She had never seen such a beautiful bottle before, and the flowers inside were quite pleasing to the eye, at least enough to bring joy to the viewer.

However, Liu Qiaomei couldn't even bear to open the bottle, and dared not try to see what the smell inside was like.

"You'll know if you try it."

Seeing that Liu Qiaomei seemed captivated by the flavors, Su Xiaoxiao told her to give it a try.

But seeing the confusion in Liu Qiaomei's eyes, he said to her, "You can try the scent of these perfumes. Put a few drops on your wrist or neck."

Liu Qiaomei put a drop of perfume on her wrist. Her fair and smooth wrist instantly felt cool and had an indescribable sensation. She looked up and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "What kind of perfume is this?"

"Take a closer look and feel it. Aren't there many different scents here?"

Only then did Liu Qiaomei realize that perfumes also have layers of texture.

When Liu Qiaomei closed her eyes and took a deep breath on her wrist, she realized it smelled of roses. But upon closer inspection, she also noticed a hint of lilac, along with other fragrances, creating an indescribably wonderful scent.

She had tried the essential oils made by Su Xiaoxiao before, but now that she had tried them, she felt that the smell of these essential oils was not very pleasant, and they didn't even smell as good as the so-called perfume.

After receiving Liu Qiaomei's affirmation, Su Xiaoxiao realized that she had really succeeded this time.

Su Xiaoxiao then placed the perfume bottle into the wooden box, which exuded a sense of luxury.

On the way to deliver it to Huang Yuanxin, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that it was a real pity to give away such a good thing.

But what can be done? This time, we've offended Huang Yuanxin again. In order to avoid making enemies with Magistrate Huang, this time the gift must be exactly what Huang Yuanxin wants, and it must be something that Huang Yuanxin really likes.

This was Su Xiaoxiao's first time visiting Magistrate Huang. She knew that Magistrate Huang was a cousin of the wealthy Huang family, which she actually disliked.

However, this time she came with gratitude, so she put aside her preconceived notions, cheered herself up, and knocked on the door of Magistrate Huang's office.
