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

"I just didn't react for a moment. Who's stupid?"

Shen Li made a face at him, went back to the house, got the purse from the cabinet, and took out one hundred taels.

Originally, she thought she could save the money, since she had nowhere to spend it, and then she thought about exchanging it for silver notes at a bank, but now... plans really can't keep up with changes.

"Mother, this is one hundred taels. You should give it to them in three days, or they will come to ask for it again and think that we are not keeping our word. There is also a receipt, so keep it."

Liu Dahua took the silver and the document of severing the relationship and sighed: "Ah, A-li, is this document useful?"

"I don't know, but no matter if it's useful or not, as long as grandma thinks it's useful, it's fine. This way, they won't always come to ask for money."

"I seem to see the aunt next door looking over here outside the yard. If she saw it, then someone would know about it, and it might even be spread out." Shen Liang said.

"I saw it too." Shen Xing said.

Why didn't she see it? Was she too short?

However, there are no secrets in the village. If someone sees something, it will be spread. In this era, there is no entertainment, and gossip and gossip about other people are considered a kind of fun.

This is good. If he refuses to admit it, public opinion will play a restraining role, especially for grandpa.

After the incident, the Shen family returned to peace.

I have been busy building a house recently and don’t know how Shen Liang’s doll carving is going. If possible, Shen Li plans to talk to him about it in detail.

"Brother, let me see how your carving is going."

Shen Liang handed her the doll he was carving.

Shen Li took it in her hand and looked at it carefully. It was better than she had imagined, delicate and vivid. Most importantly, it was more detailed than what she had drawn: "Second brother, you are amazing. This is what I want."

"I have practiced for a long time. Now I am just carving something different, but my skills are still there. I have carefully studied the pattern in your picture. Do you think this object looks like what you want after carving it?"

"Yes, that's right. A doll should be cute, good-looking, and detailed. Only in this way can people like it. Second brother, no matter what kind of doll you carve, the essence is the same, just in different shapes."

"I think I understand." Shen Liang said after thinking about it.

Shen Li looked at the ones that had already been carved, all of which were the same: "Second brother, have you been practicing with the sheep doll?"

"Yes, after finding the essence, everything else will be easy. Now that I know that carving like this is what you want, I can continue carving other things."

Shen Li looked at the dolls that he had carved before, each one better than the last. They looked cuter and cuter. "Second brother, how many of these can you carve in a day?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment: "At my current speed, I can carve three a day. If I become more skilled in the future, four will be possible. But, Ali, will anyone really buy this?"

He didn't understand and thought that even if someone bought it, it wouldn't sell well.

"Yes, you will know when you finish carving and we go to sell them. Second brother, you can start carving other dolls now. Next, you need to carve a complete set of the twelve zodiac animals, which are also the twelve dolls I drew for you. After carving, we also need to make a small wooden box, one for each doll, to put them all in."

"A wooden box? What kind?"

Shen Li explained: "It can be made of a thin piece of wood, and it doesn't have to be like a big wooden box that can be flipped up and down. You can open a long slot and use a thin piece of wood to pull it up and down. This saves a lot of effort than an open box, and the main thing is that people can't see the doll inside."

Shen Liang didn't reply, but kept thinking: "You mean the simplest and most ordinary box that can hold dolls without anyone seeing them?"

"Yes, the simpler the better."

"This is easy. You just need six thin pieces of wood. Put them together according to the mortise and tenon structure, and then leave one side to make a pull-out switch."

Seeing that he understood, Shen Li asked again, "Second brother, how long does it take you to make a box like this?"

"If it's ready-made materials, it won't take me half an hour. The thin wood pieces need to be polished out bit by bit, which takes some time."

"Then a carpenter can do it, too, right?"

"Of course, this is the simplest thing, much simpler than furniture, and uses less materials. A skilled carpenter can probably make it faster than me, and can make three or four in an hour. Of course, the prerequisite is to prepare the materials first."

Shen Li knew that all the carpenters here were proficient in mortise and tenon joints, which was also their main skill in making things.

It seems that the box should be customized by a carpenter. It would be a waste of time to let Shen Liang do it.

"Brother, make a box according to the size of the doll. Then take it to the carpenter and ask them to make more according to the size and shape of the box."

Shen Liang was a little surprised: "Why do you need someone to do it? I can do it myself."

"Brother, you mainly want to carve dolls. This kind of box, which does not require any technical skills, is a waste of time. It is better to spend some money and ask someone else to do it."

"Understood. I'll show it to you when I'm done. If it's okay, I'll find someone to do it."

Within a day, Shen Liang had made the box.

Shen Li took the doll and the box, put them together and tried them out, and found that they matched very well.

Here, these packaging boxes are made bit by bit by hand. In modern times, there are few purely handmade items, but if it comes to mass production, machines are still the best.

There is no way around it. One of the main features of dolls is psychological appeal.

Sometimes it's a bit like gambling. Some people like it and will keep buying it, trying to get a complete set. Some people are not interested in this kind of thing and naturally won't buy it.

In modern times, she is a fan of figures and has many figures and dolls at home. When she first came into contact with them, she bought them because she thought they were beautiful and cute.

Later on, it had nothing to do with appearance anymore, it was purely because of the pressure. Buying this would relieve her stress, and opening a rare or hidden model would make her feel good.

But this is not like the balm. Once it becomes popular, I guess many people will imitate it.

Shen Li has already made up her mind. She can't do anything about others imitating her, so she can only win by appearance. If many people imitate this set, she will change to another set to sell, so that the imitators can't keep up with the pace of updates. Also, this is the first one she started, even if others do better in the future, in the hearts of many people, they will still recognize hers as the most authentic.

He asked Shen Liang to take the boxes to the carpenter and ordered sixty boxes at ten cents each.

After all, the wood chips are thin and small, so not much wood is needed. Even the leftover scraps from other furniture can be used to make boxes.
