During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
But as more and more people asked, the shop owners began to get anxious to know the answer.
"What exactly are Western building blocks? Why are so many people suddenly wanting to buy them? Where can I get them?"
For a time, a small wave of people looking for Western building blocks formed in the capital.
Qin Hexuan asked someone to spread the word at this time, saying that these Western building blocks were originally made by Linglong Pavilion as a gift for the young master of the Qin family. Later, Mrs. Qin found that several of her friends' children also liked them, so she asked someone to make a few more sets and give them to them.
Nowadays, if you want to buy Western building blocks, you can only make an appointment at Linglong Pavilion. As for when you can get your turn, it is hard to say.
When everyone heard that they had to go to Linglong Pavilion to make a reservation, they no longer cared about anything else. Even if they had to wait for a long time, it was better to make an appointment early and get it early.
So many people rushed to Linglong Pavilion to reserve building blocks, and the shopkeeper was very busy just registering everyone one by one.
On the other hand, Qin Hexuan sent a box of building blocks into the palace through the Princess of Rui.
Within a few days, news spread in the palace that this set of building blocks was not only loved by the Queen and the Third Prince, but even the Emperor had played with it with them.
Now, Linglong Pavilion, which had just been quiet for two days, was suddenly crowded again.
Customers who made previous reservations all requested delivery before the New Year.
When most people hear that they have to wait until after the New Year, they simply don't make a reservation, thinking that they can buy it after the enthusiasm has died down. Maybe they don't need to make a reservation at all, and the price may even be cheaper.
But now I heard that even the emperor, the empress and the third prince like to play with this set of building blocks, so let alone after the New Year, I have to buy it no matter how long I wait!
Not only do I have to make a reservation quickly, but I also regret why I didn't make a reservation earlier. Maybe I could have gotten it earlier.
At the same time, the owners of other Western goods stores and toy stores in the capital were so anxious that they had a few more white hairs.
Every day, at least dozens of people come to the store to ask if we have Western building blocks, but we don’t have any. We can only watch the business that comes to the door slip away.
Some shopkeepers are smart and think that since they can’t buy it, they might as well find someone to make it themselves.
But none of them even knew what the original set of building blocks looked like, so they had no idea how to imitate it.
