The group returned to the Chen family compound, where lunch was ready and waiting for them. After eating, everyone went back to their own work. Old Mrs. Chen and the others were still thinking about asking about the details, but when they saw Qing Ning pulling Mr. Yu Wu to discuss the poster, they gave up and decided to talk about it in the evening.

They moved a table and chairs to the porch, fetched pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Yu Wu sat upright on one side while Qing Ning, a large and a small man, leaned over to discuss the matter in low voices. Old Man Yu and Mr. Ma also sat down to see what the two of them could come up with.

"What kind do you want? What should be in it?"

"There must be mountains, water, flowers, trees, birds, and people. The text should include the theme of the Spring Festival Banquet, a short poem, and the registration time, location, price, etc."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Well, I want the painting to be the bottom and the text on top, like this."

. . . . . . . . . .

The two men chatted quietly, oblivious to the others, gesturing and revising, frowning and sighing, their cheeks puffed and struggling. Seeing that Mr. Yu and Mr. Ma were also interested, they joined in the discussion. Seeing this, the others also lowered their voices, fearing to disturb them.

After a lot of effort, they finalized the poster and thought the invitation would be simple. Who would have thought that Qing Ning would make a bunch of requests and even wanted to add a tour route map. Several people felt that the three cents per piece was a bit of a loss.

After all the details were discussed and Yu Wu re-drew the draft, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This is more tiring than painting, it's more tiring for the brain!

"Girl, how many weird ideas are in your head?" Mr. Ma leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes lightly, and looked at Qing Ning with a smile.

"Grandpa Ma, actually it's not that I have more ideas, I'm just borrowing them~ hehe." He gave them a silly and cute smile, put away the sketch, got off the stool and ran into the house.

Several people shook their heads helplessly and rested for a while. Then Old Lady Chen called for dinner. After washing their hands, they ate in the yard. After dinner, the whole family sat around in the main hall and discussed the Spring Festival banquet.

I'm afraid many people won't be able to sleep tonight. There are many people willing to work at this stall, and they are all discussing it at home.

"Wu Yi, do you think we should take up this stall? But what should we sell then?" As soon as Chen Wu Yi arrived home from the village chief's house, the whole family surrounded him and asked him questions.

"Dad, we can reserve a stall. As for what to sell, it doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be delicate. My second sister-in-law is a good embroiderer, so we can embroider some small items for her."

Upon hearing this, Yun couldn't hide her excitement, but then she became a little worried: "Brother, will my embroidery skills be pleasing to those ladies? What if it can't be sold?"

"Don't think too much, daughter-in-law Wu Ge. It would be best if it can be sold. If not, our family can afford the ten cents." Seeing the second daughter-in-law worried, the mother-in-law Qian spoke to comfort her.

"Okay, I will prepare the embroidery recently. Sister-in-law, please help me with some ideas." Yun agreed without any hesitation. The family dispersed without saying a word.

In addition to the village chief's family, many families have already booked stalls this afternoon. As for what to sell, the whole family will sit together in the evening to discuss it.

In the main hall of the Chen family, Mr. Ma and his group did not go back to sit together to discuss how many stalls to set up and what to sell.

"I've reserved two stalls for myself. You guys can see what's suitable to sell?" When deciding on the stalls, Qing Ning reserved two for herself and told the village chief about it. The village chief naturally had no objection.

"Selling mushrooms? Or snacks?" My family members are currently doing these two things, so naturally they thought of these.

"No need, these are all included in the dishes of the Spring Festival Banquet, and I will introduce them then. Grandpa Ma and Grandpa Yu have a stall reserved for you, what do you think you can sell? We will keep the other one for ourselves, do you want something?" Qing Ning rejected the idea of ​​selling mushroom snacks.

"We don't know how to do it either? How about I show you some stick techniques?" When Grandpa Yu and the others heard what Yu Shi said, they all rolled their eyes at him. Yu Shi knew from their expressions that he was being despised again, so he smiled at them and sat aside without saying anything.

"Although what Lao Shi said is funny, it's true what can we sell? How about Lao Ma, you sell medicinal herbs or set up a stall to treat patients? If that doesn't work, sell game?" Apart from these, they really couldn't think of anything else to sell.

"I have an idea. Mr. Wu's calligraphy and paintings are both excellent. I wonder if it would be feasible to make some bookmarks and paint some fans?" Qing Ning's first thought was to let them sell some calligraphy and paintings, which were different from the masterpieces. These small and exquisite ones would be more attractive to people.

"That's a good idea, but what should I use to make the bookmark?"

Bookmarks still need to be made of hard paper, otherwise they will fall apart after a few hits, but there is no hard paper available now.

"You can use bamboo or wood chips, cut them into the same size, and then cut them into thin slices. You can then draw and write inscriptions on them, and then apply another layer of paint." Uncle Yu San, who has always been the most invisible, suddenly spoke, which also made everyone's eyes light up.

"That's a good idea. It just needs to be better than the bamboo and wooden slips. What do you think, Old Wu?"

"I agree, but I still need your help to make these wooden slips and wooden pieces." Among the ten brothers, Yu San is actually the most stable and he is also proficient in mechanical engineering. It would be a waste of his talent to ask him to make wooden slips.

"That's no problem, leave it to me." Yu San agreed without hesitation.

"Alas~ I am indeed the most useless and can't help at all." A faint voice came from the corner, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. Grandpa Yu simply ignored it, and the others shook their heads and laughed.

"Uncle Shi, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?" Qing Ning found it funny when he saw Yu Shi trying to make up for his lack of presence.

When Yu Shi heard Qing Ning's idea, he immediately jumped up from his chair, ran to her and squatted down, "Little Qing Ning, you speak, Uncle Shi is listening."

"Uncle Shi, please stand up~" She was sitting and when Shi Yi squatted, she would lower her head and look down at him, a bit like a dog asking for praise.

Yu Shi sat down next to her and waited for Qing Ning to speak.

"There are two stalls. Since Uncle Yu Wu is making bookmarks, why don't we use the other stall to do barbecue? Uncle Shi, you are a good hunter. You can hunt some wild animals and we will grill them on small bamboo sticks and sell them." Think about the barbecue in the previous life, who doesn't like it.

"No problem, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow." When Yu Shi heard that this was his strong point, he couldn't wait to go.

"Don't worry, Uncle Shi. This meat is naturally fresh and delicious. Just hunt it the day before and go to town to order a grill tomorrow."

Everyone was curious after hearing this and thought that eating limes was a good idea, and Mr. Ma was looking forward to it very much.

"Ning girl, what's so special about your barbecue? Grandpa Ma can't wait to try it."

When Qing Ning heard this, she said, "We'll know when the time comes. I'll let our family members try it first." This made Mr. Ma and the others very excited, and they just looked forward to that day coming soon.
