The silly and sweet spring of crossing

The branch of Jinxiu Lantern Shop opened a year ago, just in time for everyone to buy new year's goods.To celebrate the New Year, the already busy people are free, so there are a lot of people who come to watch.

In the store, there is still a [-]% discount on lanterns, and Qiu Baichen also put out some lantern riddles, and there are prizes for guessing the correct lantern riddles.The prizes include lanterns and other things, all of which he had prepared before.Everyone's enthusiasm is very high, come and guess, if you guess right, you can get good things.

The opening this time was also lively, everyone came to join in the fun during the day, and when it was not too dark at night, many lanterns were lit at the entrance, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.After dark, people gradually dispersed.

Qiu Baichen had been busy all day, and when he got home at night, he sat in the bathtub, so comfortable that he wished he could fall asleep in it.He heard the sound of He Lanyuzhi's whispering outside. They came back late today, and Xiao Chuliu had already gone to bed.

Qiu Baichen closed his eyes, and gradually couldn't help but dozed off. He didn't know what dream he had.He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he suddenly felt someone touch his shoulder, which made Qiu Baichen startled, opened his eyes, and looked back, it was He Lanyuzhi.

"Are you tired?" He Lanyu's tone was very gentle, Qiu Baichen lay on the edge of the tub and looked at him.At this time, the relationship between the two has improved compared to before, but Qiu Baichen still has not made a final decision.He looked at He Lan Yuzhi, He Lan Yuzhi wanted to squeeze his shoulders to take advantage of him, but Qiu Baichen kept looking back at him.

"The water will get cold in a while, come out after washing." He Lan Yuzhi said, and then walked out.Qiu Baichen watched him go out, and then got up and took a shower.He had a little hope in his heart to contact He Lanyu, but he was a little hesitant, so he could only look at him with a smile. He Lanyu was a knowledgeable and interesting person, so he naturally understood what he meant.

After Qiu Baichen finished washing and came out in obscene clothes, He Lanyu wanted to knead him, but thinking that he himself had been busy all day and smelled of sweat, he was afraid that Qiu Baichen would dislike him, so he went over and changed. When he came back after washing, Qiu Baichen was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.

"Your hair is not dry yet, don't sleep yet." He Lanyuzhi's hair was also wet, he wiped it half dry, looked at Qiu Baichen's towel beside his pillow, and sighed, he would have a headache tomorrow.He tried to wake up the sleeping Qiu Baichen, but Qiu Baichen heard his voice in a daze, but couldn't open his eyes, and he didn't know what to say.

He Lanyuzhi hugged his upper body, let him sit on the bed, and leaned on his shoulder with his face facing him.He Lanyuzhi slowly wiped Qiu Baichen's hair. Qiu Baichen's hair was black and thick, and it was wet no matter how he wiped it. No wonder he fell asleep like this.

But holding the person he likes in his arms, He Lan Yuzhi certainly won't feel bored or sleepy, he gently wiped Qiu Baichen's hair dry, and then let him continue to lie down and sleep.

He Lanyuzhi looked at Qiu Baichen's sleeping face, thought for a while, and still didn't continue to take advantage of him while he was asleep, but just looked at him a few more times, dried his hair himself, and fell asleep.

The next day, Qiu Baichen still woke up very early, and yawned while having breakfast.He didn't quite remember what happened last night, but when he got up, his hair wasn't curled up. It should be because his hair was dry yesterday?Qiu Baichen guessed what happened last night in his heart, wondering if He Lanyu's coming later would take advantage of him, and after thinking about it, he finished his breakfast.

After breakfast, the apprentices cleared the table and washed the dishes, Qiu Baichen felt very relieved as a master, and sat there to play with Xiao Chuliu.Xiao Chuli woke up very energetic in the morning, hugging his father and not letting go, father and son playing together, it seemed like a happy scene.

After opening a branch, it didn't take long for the Chinese New Year.For those who celebrate the New Year, everyone will not come out. They will celebrate the New Year at home and visit relatives and friends.After the seventh day of the lunar new year, various shops opened one after another. Before the fifteenth day, the Jinxiu Lantern Shop started to get busy again, and there were a lot of lanterns used on the fifteenth day.

The Lantern Festival in Xinfang City is held by the chamber of commerce entrusted by the government office every year, and it is the same this year.In the past, King Min would not invite him to come when he was in the capital, but in recent years King Min has arrived in Xinfang City, and every year the government wants to invite him to come to preside over various ceremonies, but he refuses every time.

Growing up in the deep palace since childhood, and never appearing in the fiefdom, the only prince of Great Chu, Prince Min, is simply mysterious.

This year, Qin Chengbi still sent invitations to King Min, hoping to see King Min, but the result was the same as usual.On the other side of the capital, the little emperor commended King Min for his political achievements and rewarded him, so King Min went to Beijing.

Before the fifteenth day of the day, Qiu Baichen and his apprentices were rushing to make lanterns for sale, when a group of people suddenly came to the store.

Those were three men, all wearing silk clothes. Although the color was low-key, if you looked closely, the patterns embroidered on the clothes were very delicate.Qiu Baichen saw that they looked ordinary and didn't feel anything. He welcomed all guests.

And He Lanyuzhi saw the doorway, so he was a little more polite.

"May I ask who is the boss here?" said the shortest of the three.

"This is Boss Qiu." The shopkeeper introduced Qiu Baichen.

The little man sized Qiu Baichen up.

"Boss Qiu, I've admired you for a long time," he said.

"May I ask your surname?" Qiu Baichen asked.

"My surname is Liu." The little man replied.

"Boss Liu. You're welcome, let's sit at the back." Qiu Baichen said, so many people were in the way, so he took them to the living room to sit down.

"Xiao Xian, go and make tea for the guests." Qiu Baichen ordered, and he sat down with He Lanyuzhi.

"Your accent doesn't sound like a local, are you here to buy lanterns?" Qiu Baichen asked.

"Boss Qiu is wise." The little man nodded, "We came from Suicheng and heard that the lanterns made by Boss Qiu are very exquisite, so we want to order some and return to Suicheng to sell."

Suicheng is thousands of miles away from Xinfang City, and it took them more than ten days to get here.Qiu Baichen didn't expect that his fame would be so great that he could attract people from such a far away place.

"Of course we welcome business." Qiu Baichen said, "I don't know what kind of lanterns you want, and how many do you want?"

"Can we see what kind of lanterns Boss Qiu has here, and what are the prices, before making a decision?" the little man said.When they came here, they brought all kinds of goods back home to sell, not just like lanterns, they would stay here for a while, so they had to choose carefully.

"I have a pattern of lanterns here, Boss Liu, you can take a look." Qiu Baichen took out the pattern of the lanterns sold in the store, Boss Liu took it to see, and then showed it to the two people next to him. The three of them whispered to each other, as if to discuss these Lantern to make an evaluation.

"I'll ask the apprentices to come over with samples of the actual products for you to see later. The styles in the store are not complete, and some lamps will not be put on sale in front, but they can be made to order." Qiu Baichen introduced, He Lanyuzhi saw that he had a plan in mind, Then he didn't speak.Wang Xian made tea and came over, poured it for everyone, and then He Lanyuzhi stood up, and went to the warehouse with him to pick out lantern samples.

"These designs have prices. If Boss Liu needs a large quantity, I can give you a little discount on the price." Qiu Baichen said.

"Thank you, Boss Qiu." The little man was obviously very satisfied with these lanterns, and felt that the price offered by Qiu Baichen was also acceptable.

The news about the competition between Qiu Baichen and Ju Beiguo had already reached them, and some lanterns flowed over.Suicheng's economy is not as good as Xinfangcheng's, and the lantern craftsmanship is also much behind. However, the local area is rich in minerals and has many rich people.Many people like Qiu Baichen's lanterns very much, but it's not suitable to travel a long distance just to buy a lantern, and there are many fake lanterns on the market.

However, a fake is a fake after all, and traces of forgery can be seen.Qiu Baichen's special anti-counterfeiting mark was added to the lanterns in Jinxiu Lantern Shop, so it was easy to tell if they were genuine or not.

So someone thought about it, and just in time to go outside to sell goods, they came to Qiu Baichen's lamp shop, ready to buy lanterns and go back.

He was not worried about the price, because in Suicheng, the price of fake lanterns was several times that of Qiu Baichen's store, and the price of genuine ones could even reach ten times.You can earn a lot even after excluding the transportation costs.

"Can we go back and study slowly?" The little man asked while holding a pattern of a lantern.

"Don't worry, take your time here, and we'll talk about the specific quantity tomorrow." Qiu Baichen said, meaning that it can't be taken away.The three of them were also in business, so they naturally understood what Qiu Baichen meant, and they were not happy about it, but they still stayed here, continued to watch, and did not leave until it was very late.

On the second day, they determined the number of lanterns they needed, signed a contract with Qiu Baichen, and paid a deposit.Qiu Baichen still has some stock here, he counted it, and the remaining lanterns still need to be made for another month.

It just so happened that those people were not in a hurry, they would collect other things nearby, so they made an appointment to pick up the goods and pay for them.

There were no setbacks in the middle, and one month later, Qiu Baichen delivered the goods on time, with guaranteed quality and quantity.And those people were also very satisfied, and paid a little more money, and happily shipped the lanterns back.

After that, Qiu Baichen often received orders from other places, and the signboard of Jinxiu Lantern Shop became more and more loud, but unfortunately Qiu Baichen couldn't open a branch outside, so he could only sign limited orders. That's it, he had to teach his apprentices , and make lanterns again, I am so busy every day.

But Qiu Baichen is still doing very happily until he accepts a big order.
