That afternoon, Su Hu took a donkey cart to Furong Town to sell Tian Qi and made a trip to Joyful Music Shop to inquire about the prices of bamboo flutes.
Upon hearing the clerk's introduction, he found that common bamboo flutes cost anywhere between one to five taels of silver.
Those with excellent tone and considered treasures could sell for up to hundreds or even thousands of taels, making his heart race with excitement.

After collecting enough bamboo, Su Qingluo officially began teaching Li Xiu'e how to make bamboo flutes.
Li Xiu'e was intelligent and skillful; after ten days of hands-on teaching, she had already grasped the basics of making bamboo flutes.
The most important step, the selection and production of the flute membrane and glue, took a little more effort.
Through continuous repetition and experimentation, Li Xiu'e was able to complete a bamboo flute on her own a month later.
