Chapter 1638 - 1637: For Sale
On this day, the Royal Shadow Puppet Theater added a wooden sign by its entrance. The sign displayed an advertisement: Qiao Xiaomai had grown a batch of herbal medicine and, with Bei Lingsu’s guidance, crafted a batch of medicinal liquor. The details of the liquor were... This batch of medicinal liquor will be sold on New Year’s Eve at the Shadow Puppet Theater, in limited quantities, first come, first served, with samples available for tasting beforehand.
The wooden sign not only listed the different types of medicinal liquor but also their various benefits, making it convenient for people to choose and buy.
As soon as the news broke, the crowd was in an uproar.
They had waited for days outside Field Manor, hoping for Floral Dew, but instead got medicinal liquor.
Medicinal liquor offered more functional benefits—healing ailments, promoting health and wellness, enhancing beauty, and moisturizing the skin. Its effectiveness was far superior to Floral Dew and was more targeted; one could simply buy the type of medicinal liquor suited to their needs.
However, this time, it would still be a limited sale!
Last time, during the big promotion on June 6th, Qiao Xiaomai also mentioned limited quantities and first-come, first-served, but many people took it lightly and showed up late. With that experience in mind, this time might see folks lining up the day before.
No, no, it might even be days earlier, with some camping and living by the Theater’s entrance in advance.
If one person did that, it would surely attract more followers, creating a chain reaction. If everyone imitated, wouldn’t it clog up the Theater’s operations altogether?
No, this certainly wouldn’t do.
There had to be a reasonable queuing method.
The murmurs from the Theater quickly reached Qiao Xiaomai’s ears. This made a lot of sense—it made perfect sense. After mulling it over for quite some time and discussing it with Tong Sanlang, she finally decided on a lottery system.
