After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

"I am willing to accept the test."

Nian Xiucheng smiled, but it was not natural. He hadn't smiled for a long time. "Why don't you ask what the test is?"

"No matter what, I will pass." Shen Liang said firmly.

"Okay, you are ambitious. Go back and get ready. I will take you back home."

"Can you wait for two days? I'll bake the box for my sister first."

"You love this sister very much?"

"Ah."

"Okay, then wait until you finish firing."

Two days later, Shen Liang returned home with the baked box.

While eating, he told her about his wish to become a disciple.

"Second brother, where is the Lu Ban sect?" Shen Li asked, she was a little worried.

"The master didn't tell me the exact year, but it must be quite far away, probably in another state."

"How long will it take for you to come back?"

"I'm not sure. The time it takes to travel back and forth, as well as the test, will probably take several months."

"Then you won't come back later, will you?"

"No, I asked, and Master Nian said that if I passed the test, he would accept me as his apprentice, and then I would come back to the shop and he would teach me personally."

"Does he have to go so far to take the test? Can't he take the test himself?" Liu Dahua asked.

"Mom, this is the rule of the Luban sect. There is a special trial ground in the sect, and you can't be tested outside."

Liu Dahua remained silent.

"Second brother, are you in a hurry to become my disciple because of what happened last time?"

"There may be some reasons, but you also said that Master Nian is a powerful man and asked me to find an opportunity to become his disciple. Now I have finally gotten what I wanted. I know you and mother are worried, but I am a man, and I have Master Nian with me, so I really don't need to worry too much."

"Oh, mother, A-li, second brother is right. A man should have ambitions to travel far away. You don't have to do this." Shen Xing said.

Shen Li knew it, but it was her first time traveling far away, so she was still a little worried. However, she couldn't say much, otherwise her mother would worry even more.

"That's right, mother. Let's rest assured. Second brother has grown up and can take care of himself. Besides, becoming a disciple is a good thing. It's not easy to enter Luban Sect."

Liu Dahua nodded reluctantly.

"Second brother, when do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning."

Shen Li returned to the house and took out two silver notes: "Second brother, this is two hundred taels. When you are away from home, you need money a lot."

Shen Liang was not polite, but he only took one: "No need for so much, one hundred taels is enough, more is not safe."

"But..." Shen Li wanted to persuade him to take it, but was interrupted by Liu Dahua.

"Listen to your second brother. One hundred taels is enough."

Only then did Shen Li give up.

"Ah Li, I don't know when I can come back this time. I have written down the method of firing the box. I have agreed with Master Nian that we can borrow his place to fire it. The method is very simple and does not require any special skills. You can go to the county to find a master who can fire it. But I think his kiln is too small. It will take a lot of time if the quantity is large. This box can be fired in ordinary kilns. You can go to other large kilns to customize it. This way it will be faster."

Shen Li had already considered this when he built the workshop in the backyard. He thought that he could still cope with it, and it also created an opportunity for his second brother to succeed as the master did last year, so he never took any action.

It looks like now is the time.

"Got it, second brother. Don't worry. We have several kiln factories in the suburbs. I will go to them to order it when the time comes."

"Well, there are also blind boxes. I have carved some more recently, about thirty in total. You can bring them to the Rouge Shop next time. After that, you may have to wait until I come back."

"Blind boxes are only sold because they are rare. They will be sold out soon. Besides, many people are also making imitations. Although they are not as exquisite as yours, they still sell well."

"We are the first to come out, and many people still recognize us, so we can't stop, but you can only wait until I come back. Also, third brother, when I'm not at home, you're the only man at home, you have to take good care of the family and protect Ali and mother."

Shen Xing was listening absentmindedly, but when he was suddenly called, he immediately perked up: "I know, second brother, don't worry, I'm here."

"Well, it seems like nothing happened." Shen Liang said while thinking.

Shen Li was a little amused: "Okay, second brother, don't worry about the family. This is the first time I've heard you talk so much."

Shen Liang ignored her joke and thought about it. It seemed that there was really nothing wrong, so he stopped talking.

The next day, Shen Liang left with Liu Dahua's packed bag.

Although Shen Li was a little reluctant, since he would only be gone for a month or so, he stopped thinking about parting and started making ointment.

With the Li family of four, on the first day, because we had to prepare the materials, we made 200 boxes.

Next, Liu Dahua, Li's mother, and Shen Li were asked to make the ointment. The rest, Li Erya and her sister, and Shen Xing and Li the hunter, all went to the three neighboring counties to distribute flyers and sell the ointment.

In fact, the main focus is publicity. How many ointments are sold is secondary, but how many are sold can reflect the publicity situation. The more they are sold, the more people know about them.

Li the hunter drove the cart, and the four of them went to one county a day, taking turns visiting three counties.

It took Shen Li and his two companions five days to prepare this batch of ointment, a total of 2,400 boxes.

Cheng Xin didn't come to see her, which meant that the goods were still available, so Shen Li didn't plan to deliver them now. Shen Xing and others also needed the ointment when they went to Lin County, so they could wait for a while.

Given a short period of time, Shen Li decided to study perfume.

The distillation equipment is available, so the product can be made. The only difficulty is the bottles. She has not found any glass bottles in the county. Of course, even if there are any here, they should be colored glass. Maybe there are some in the provincial capital or Kyoto. When she plans to deliver the goods, she will ask Cheng Xin's relatives to help take a look. Even if there are some, the price will probably not be cheap.

So her perfume is going to be high-end?

In fact, you can also use a small porcelain bottle, the kind that holds medicine in TV dramas, with a slightly open design, and then you can use a cork to plug the bottle mouth to prevent the perfume from evaporating.

But after all, it's not good-looking, so she still needs to think about it carefully. Sometimes, the appearance of the packaging can also affect the sales of the product.

Are there glass bottles? If so, how much do they cost? What is the positioning of perfume? What path should it take? What is the market demand?

These all need to be carefully considered. Now her ointment is still affordable for ordinary people, and she still needs to promote the ointment. Now it will be to neighboring counties, then provincial capitals, and then more states and even the entire Qi Dynasty.

Originally, there was no rush for the perfume. She could consider it after she had developed the ointment well. But her two brothers were anxious to become stronger, and she was anxious too, so she should make preparations early. In case she had the glass bottle by then, she wouldn't have to cram at the last minute.
