Become a burden in a period novel

The next day was another bright sunny day. Qin Wangshu was awakened by the sunlight outside. Seeing how bright it was outside, she was still a little dazed, and then immediately picked up the watch that was placed on the bedside table.

It was already 7:30, but she had no idea. Neither Qin Jingchu nor Aunt Luo came to wake her.

Qin Wangshu threw off the covers and got out of bed.

When Qin Wangshu came out of her room, she saw Aunt Luo waiting in the living room, holding a magazine and looking at the clothes on the models inside.

"Get up, what do you want to eat?" Aunt Luo put down the magazine in her hand.

"Mother, why didn't you wake me up?" Qin Wangshu's voice was still hazy from just waking up.

"I was just about to call you. I was checking the time. If you're still not awake, I'll go wake you." Aunt Luo checked the time. "It's not even eight o'clock yet. Don't you have someone with you? You don't need to wake up so early."

"Have you eaten, Mother?"

"I've already eaten. Jingchu bought it, but I didn't know when you would get up, so I didn't buy it for you."

"Okay, I'll go see what else we can eat?" There are a few private restaurants next to this guesthouse. Although Qin Wangshu has never eaten there, she can smell the food in those restaurants, and it all smells pretty good.

However, those who dare to open restaurants nowadays are those with the means; otherwise, they wouldn't dare to spend money to open a shop.

"I'll go with you." She called her son yesterday, and Yang Mingye was relieved to hear that she had arrived in Guangzhou. He kept telling her to take good care of Wangshu on the phone.

He doesn't even need to say that; she's known Wang Shu for even longer than he has!

"Okay!" Qin Wangshu took Aunt Luo's arm again. Eating alone is no fun, and she was happy to have someone accompany her!

Qin Wangshu really wanted to experience Cantonese morning tea, but considering that resources were not abundant at that time, he guessed that morning tea would not be as diverse as it would be in later generations.

After having a quick breakfast at a small restaurant, Qin Wangshu and the others returned to the guesthouse. As soon as they went upstairs, they saw Qin Jingchu coming out of his room.

"You're back. Are you going to the exhibition later?"

"Go, let me change my clothes first." Qin Wangshu wanted to take Aunt Luo over there to look at the fabrics.

The branch factory in Yangjia Village is about to open. We can use some second-hand machines, but we still need to find good suppliers for raw materials.

There was only one small hemp mill in the area, which produced only hemp products and was far from sufficient to supply the raw materials needed by the branch factory.

Although cotton is grown locally, it is not a major crop. People don't even have enough for their own use, let alone to send to factories.

If we can find a suitable textile factory here, then the raw material problem for the branch factory can be solved.

Qin Wangshu changed into a more formal outfit and also had Aunt Luo change into a different outfit. Then, Qin Jingchu drove them to the exhibition.

The Canton Fair venue has hosted many exhibitions, and the surrounding area is still quite lively.

Upon arrival, Qin Jingchu found a place to park the car, then got out to help Aunt Luo open the car door. After Aunt Luo got out of the car, she turned around to help Qin Wangshu.

Qin Wangshu did not refuse Aunt Luo and got out of the car with her help.

It's almost 10 o'clock now, and there aren't many people left at the entrance. Qin Wangshu's booth is still quite good. As a private enterprise that was invited, Qin Wangshu and his team are highly regarded.

Qin Wangshu first took Aunt Luo to see her booth. Before they even arrived, Aunt Luo saw several foreign men sitting in front of the booth.

"Why are they sitting there?" Aunt Luo asked Qin Wangshu in a low voice. She was literate and knew that the booth where the foreigners were sitting belonged to Qin Wangshu.

"They must be waiting for their wives." Qin Wangshu had witnessed this situation yesterday, so she remained calm.

"And their wives?"

"They get facials at the back of the booth, so we have to let them try our products first before we can get them to buy from us." These past few days, quite a few foreign women have come in for facials; they get the facials included with their package deals.

But having tried the best, how could they possibly buy anything slightly inferior? So each of these ladies spent a considerable amount of money at their booth.

With both personal use and purchases, these ladies probably won't need to buy any more skincare products for the next six months after they go back.
