"Miss Shen Li, from now on you will learn from Qingshuang. You can decide the specific matters yourselves. I won't get involved." Shopkeeper Yang said.

"Then..." Shen Li wanted to ask whether he had to pay tuition or something, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Shopkeeper Yang naturally understood what she meant: "No need for anything. This is what Qingshuang is happy about, and it won't delay the time for playing the music, so Miss Shen doesn't need to think too much, just study with peace of mind."

"Thank you very much, Manager Yang."

"No, Xie Qingshuang is the one. You guys can chat while I go entertain other guests."

After Shopkeeper Yang left, Shen Li looked at Qing Shuang: "Is this too much trouble for you?"

"Miss Shen, you're welcome. I admire you, too, which is why I'm happy to teach you. But how well you can learn depends only on yourself."

"I understand. So when can we have class?"

"Let's start tomorrow. I play two concerts every day, one in the morning and one in the evening, so the afternoon is the only free time. We can study here in the afternoon, okay?"

Shen Li nodded: "No problem."

The next afternoon, Shen Li came to Fengming Tower.

In Qingshuang's room in the backyard, the two sat at the table.

"I wonder what you want to learn, Shen Li? Is it the guqin?" Qingshuang asked.

"I have learned pipa before, but I didn't succeed. I want to continue learning, but I see that you, Qingshuang, seem to be playing the guqin. I wonder if you are a pipa player?"

Qingshuang smiled confidently: "Yes, I have learned musical instruments for many years. In fact, the more you learn, the more you will find that they have something in common. I can play both the pipa and the guqin. Since you want to learn the pipa, I will teach you the pipa first."

After saying that, she walked to the cabinet and took out the pipa.

"Try playing it first. I'll see how far you've come, and then I'll start teaching you."

Shen Li took the pipa, thought about what he had learned before, and began to play it stumblingly.

When the song ended, she felt a little embarrassed: "Don't I have any talent?"

"How long have you been learning this?"

"A few months, then I got busy and stopped playing."

"With such a short time, you can't say you don't have talent. I think your fingering is OK, there's no big problem, but there are still areas that need to be corrected. Let's start with the most basic fingering, then lay a solid foundation, and then work on it little by little."

"Listen to you."

After that, there were two people, one teaching and the other learning.

The reason why Shen Li could barely play a piece of music after a short period of study was because of her good memory. She remembered the music score and fingering, but her application was very clumsy, which was also because she practiced too little.

Now that I have picked it up again, I have made rapid progress, but a lot of practice is still necessary.

In the following days, she went to Fengming Tower every afternoon to learn pipa.

"Miss, there is a letter for you." said Butler Zhang.

Shen Li looked at the handwriting on the outside of the envelope, but found that it was not from her brothers. She opened it puzzled and read it quickly.

The letter was written by Jin Duobao, telling her that the ship had returned, which meant that the 500 glass bottles she had ordered had arrived, and asked her when to go to Xizhou to pick them up.

This inevitably reminded her of Qin Yu who was there.

She had been sad for him for a long time, and she didn't know if he was sad at all? If what he said was true, maybe he wouldn't be sad?

If they hadn't separated, she would definitely go and get it herself so that she could see him. In fact, now she also wants to...

Thinking of this, Shen Li hurriedly stopped himself from thinking any further. This idea was very dangerous and he couldn't think about it anymore.

It seems that Wu Zhong has no choice but to go to Xizhou.

"Butler Zhang, how is the training of the person you bought going now?"

After going to Nanzhou, Shen Li asked Zhang Wang to buy some young men from the pawnshop. He had already bought ten of them and found martial artists to teach them martial arts.

"Miss, I asked the martial arts master before, and he said that they have practiced quite well. At their current level, they can still be ordinary guards, but if they meet someone with better martial arts, they will still be defeated."

Shen Li also knew that Kung Fu cannot be mastered in a short time: "That's not bad. You assign six people to the workshop and let them guard the workshop when they are free. Then they can't fall behind in martial arts training. The remaining four people will stay in the mansion for guarding."

"I understand Miss, I'll do it right away."

Now that I have the glass bottle, it’s time to develop some perfume.

The perfumes she made before were really crude. Now that she has some free time, she should calm down and develop it properly.

Shen Li set up a separate distillation room in the workshop and began to develop perfume.

The first thing was to distill the alcohol, but the alcohol she had distilled before was not strong enough.

Now that the perfume needs to be officially sold, she must increase the alcohol content. This is not difficult. She just needs to distill the rice wine a few more times and see where the limit is.

She spent the whole morning but still couldn't figure it out. She had to go to Fengming Tower in the afternoon.

The next day, after a whole morning of distillation, we finally distilled the highest degree under limited conditions. It is estimated to be at least 85 degrees.

Then just get some distilled water, which is the easiest.

The most difficult thing is perfume making.

The first scent of perfume is the first thing people smell when it is sprayed, and it also evaporates the fastest. The second is the middle scent, and then the base scent, which evaporates the slowest. It is the last scent retained after spraying for a period of time.

But when mixing essential oils, the order is reversed.

The base flavor should be prepared first.

At the beginning, Shen Li first prepared the simplest one, that is, using only three flavors as the initial flavor, middle flavor and basic flavor.

It doesn't smell very good, but it kind of does.

Gradually, she began to add other flavors, of course, all floral scents. As for others, such as fruity scents and cucumber, she could only develop them slowly.

If you develop a product that tastes good, you can remember the recipe and produce it in large quantities in the future.

But developing the formula here takes a lot of time.

Fortunately, she doesn't have much to do now. She just develops perfume formulas in the morning and goes to Fengming Building to study in the afternoon.

At the same time, Li Daya and Fang Tianya, with several people trained by Meng Huaying, went to the provincial capital in the central region to continue developing sales channels for the ointment.

Li Erya also took her own people to a provincial capital.

There was also Lin Xuan, who also took people to the central provincial capital.

Li Daya had always kept a person by her side, named Qiu Yun, who was also capable of acting on his own, so he also took his people and went to a provincial capital alone.

Shen Li has been asking these people to train more people like Qiu Yun so that they can develop the perfume ointment market on their own, but this can only be done slowly.

Fortunately, we now have four groups of people. If we can develop a provincial capital in three months, that means we will develop twelve provincial capitals in a year, which is quite fast.

Moreover, more people who can stand on their own will be trained in the future, so there will be more people to develop the market, and the speed will naturally be faster.
