Chapter 58: What's being copied?

  Ye Yun dodged Ling Feng's hand and wrinkled her nose. "There are too many things in my head. Oh, right, I'll take you somewhere."

  Ye Yun looked around and murmured, "Hmmm..."

  "What's wrong?" Ling Feng asked.

  Ye Yun looked at him with a gloomy face, "What is this place?"

  ……

  When Ling Feng saw the "unrecognizable" Flower Expo Park, was he surprised? It seemed that this word could no longer describe his emotions.

  Shocking! It's really too shocking!

  Originally a rough wooden frame door, it has now been transformed into a very beautiful gate, with the three words "Flower Expo Garden" embossed on the door frame, clear at a glance.

  Originally a garden full of flowers and trees, it has now been evenly divided into several plots.

  Each flower has its own territory.

  No longer crowded, looks neat and tidy, very regular.

  Outside is a basin of fresh flowers, walking inside are trees.

  There are still some unfinished parts, and workers are working hard to plant them. Lu Yong stands aside with his hands clasped in front of his chest, supervising the workers.

  "Are you going to turn this place into a garden?" Ling Feng asked.

  "It's the Flower Expo Park!" Ye Yun corrected, "I've transformed this place into a garden where people can come to admire and visit, attracting some elegant people to come and appreciate flowers, socialize, and drink wine. Look, this time it's located in a secluded area, the sun isn't particularly strong, and with the shade of the green trees inside. When it's hot outside, wouldn't it be nice to attract some people to come here to escape the heat and enjoy the flowers and tea?"

  Ling Feng nodded as he listened, "This is indeed a good idea. So, how can we benefit from it?"

  "To come in here and admire the flowers, you must pay silver. Admiring the flowers costs one coin per person, cooling off costs two coins per person, and if you need wine or snacks, that's extra."

  "Ah, this price is not expensive. One coin of silver and anyone can come to admire the flowers. But why are there restrictions on enjoying the cool breeze?"

  "The flower expo was originally for people to come and admire the flowers. The more people who come to appreciate the flowers, the better it will be for future flower sales. However, if you just let those wealthy individuals run so far just to see some flowers and leave, they might not come again. So, provide them with a place that is elegant and refined. The admission fee isn't expensive either, ordinary people can also invite three or five friends over to enjoy the elegance together. I think poets from this era would like such a place."

  "You're right too! However... " Lingfeng turned around and asked, "Where did you move all the other flowers to?"

  "You're quite capable, aren't you? It's all clear now?" Ye Yun smiled mischievously, "I had the florists move most of the flowers to a newly built garden not far from here. This way, it won't affect sales or the flower appreciation business in this area. I'm declaring ahead of time that I don't guarantee profits, because I'm not a merchant. Let's try operating for a couple of days and we'll see how it goes afterwards."

  "Is it open for trial operation?"

  "Right! The construction here should be completed in three days. Starting tomorrow, I will send people to distribute flyers on the streets, door-to-door, and make sure everyone knows that our Flower Expo Park is about to open. By the way, I have already informed Wu Zhi-fu about this, and he said it's no problem. For some influential people, I have asked Madame Wu to help spread the word first. Three days before the opening, admission tickets will be free, and during the trial operation within a month, all tickets will be buy-one-get-one-free. How is that? Master Zhuang, do you have anything else to add?"

  Ling Feng, who had always been astute, also pondered repeatedly after hearing Ye Yun's explanation.

  "You've even settled things with the prefecture?"

  "Yes. I gave the prefect's wife a jar of my homemade hibiscus cream, specifically for her sensitive skin. After using it, she was very pleased and volunteered to help me promote Huaboyuan Garden, and also took care of Prefect Wu."

  "What's this Fu Rong Gao? Another newfangled thing?"

  "I made it with lavender, which can be used for beauty and skin care, and is very effective in calming the skin. The materials are really hard to find, Yan Cheng helped me search for two days before finding part of them. Although it's not perfect, it's still usable."

  "Is this also available in your hometown?"

  "Exactly! Not bad, right? These are all the crystallization of wisdom from our predecessors! By the way, tonight you have to help me think of some promotional slogans to attract customers to come and admire the flowers. Also, can you find some people who know martial arts to come and help us manage the order when we open for business? I'm afraid it will be chaotic with too many people."

  "We have it in our mountain village, don't worry. Yan Cheng and the four of them can also be used by you. One of them is worth ten people. But what's the propaganda phrase...?"

  "Is it just written on the flyer to attract customers? Let them see it at a glance and want to come and take a look at how beautiful this place is."

  "Ah! This is indeed a good method." Ling Feng stretched out his hand to rub Ye Yun's hair, "How did you come up with these novel methods? Although some are strange, they are very feasible."

  "Just borrowing. Haven't tried it yet, don't know what the effect is like. These three days will be busy. By the way, you won't go out for these three days, right? Let's help together!"

  Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Alright! Let's all listen to Yun'er!"

  That night, Ye Yun dragged Ling Feng together to think of a slogan. After the slogan was decided, she discovered a very serious problem.

  Ancient times didn't have photocopiers!

  And yet, nobody even knows how printing works!

  I'm crying!

  Ye Yun became depressed and quickly found the four great bodyguards, giving each of them a pen and a stack of paper.

  Four people looked at Ye Yun in confusion, unsure of what she wanted them to do.

  Ye Yun glared at the four of them with a fierce aura, as if she were a teacher about to assign punishment homework.

  "Can you write?"

  The four of them nodded.

  "Alright! Hurry up and copy, let's start with ten copies each."

  Four people looked at me, I looked at you, and finally looked towards Ling Feng.

  Ling Feng gave a cold stare and slightly raised the pen in his hand.

  I'm already resigned to my fate, you dare try refusing me?!

  The four of them sat down obediently and began writing quickly.

  "It seems like this is still not enough..." Ye Yun began to think of candidates in her mind.

  At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Ling Wei walked in with red eyes, looking at Ye Yun with a resentful face. "Sister-in-law, you said you would come to accompany me tonight."

  Ye Yun's eyes pierced through Ling Wei, and Ling Wei was immediately startled.

  Also found that something was wrong with the situation in the house, and hurriedly admitted his mistake.

  "Sorry, I didn't know you were busy." After saying that, he wanted to quickly take advantage of the situation before Ye Yun got angry and slip away.

  "Didn't expect Ye Yun to suddenly ask: 'Can you write?' "

  Ling Wei didn't understand, but nodded anyway.

  Unexpectedly, Ye Yun's eyes lit up and she grabbed her over in one swift motion.

  "You've come just in time! Come on, help us copy!"

  "What are you copying?" Ling Wei found that the four great guards and Ling Feng were all lying on the table, writing quickly, without even looking up at her. "What are you copying? Sister!"
