In 2025, Zhan Chunlan, a fresh college graduate, stays up all night reading a novel again. Suddenly, she transmigrates and arrives in 1970, possessing the body of high school student Zhan Chunlan.<...
The girl was very impressed after listening to Zhan Chunlan's explanation and exclaimed, "This is exactly the kind of artistic product we've been looking for! How much is one?"
Zhan Chunlan: "6 yuan each."
The girl wanted to close the deal immediately, but remembering her parents' repeated admonitions about negotiation skills, she hesitated: "It's too expensive, can you make it cheaper?"
Zhan Chunlan knew, of course, that the price wasn't expensive for them at all, but she couldn't argue back like that: "How many are you planning to buy?"
The girl silently estimated in her mind, then raised her index finger: "Tentatively 10,000, we can add more if the price is right."
Zhan Chunlan pretended to be hesitant and carefully searched for her memories of watching the live stream many years ago: "The price is already the lowest. Although I can't offer any further discounts with my authority, I can see that you really want it. I'll go and discuss it with my supervisor right away. Please wait a moment."
Zhan Chunlan did go aside to discuss the matter with the leaders, mainly to explain the situation to them in detail, telling them that she was selling it for 6 yuan, and that she could not sell it for less than that in the future, at least not openly.
After a while, estimating that the time was about right, Zhan Chunlan came over, somewhat embarrassed: "The leader said that is indeed the lowest price, but if you can order 20,000, it can be 5 yuan per unit."
At this moment, the classmate whom Zhan Chunlan had just spoken to came over, holding a bouquet of flowers. Zhan Chunlan took the flowers and neatly placed them in the "sandalwood vase." The red and white "vase," paired with the delicate and vibrant flowers, looked lively and full of life.
Zhan Chunlan picked up the vase of flowers and showed it to everyone from all angles: "Look, I just casually put a bunch of flowers in it, and it looks very beautiful. Most people in your country have learned flower arranging, and they can definitely arrange them more beautifully than I can."
The group of foreign businessmen nodded in unison, their eyes following the movement of the vase.
Zhan Chunlan continued: "This vase is particularly suitable for the European and American pastoral style, and it matches well with most families in China. It is very pleasing to the eye when placed on the dining table."
"Of course, if you don't want flowers, fruit would also be suitable." As she spoke, she picked up a plate of fruit from the counter and placed it on the table.
The foreign businessmen nodded in approval; it was indeed a suitable solution. In their eyes, it was like the tools from an oil painting come to lifeāit was incredibly artistic.
In her excitement, the girl forgot all the negotiation skills her family had taught her: "Then let's order 20,000."
Zhan Chunlan calmly replied, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Behind the scenes, he immediately instructed the counter staff to prepare a contract, fearing that the group might change their minds.
While foreign merchants were discussing "Tan Yu," Zhan Chunlan had already asked the staff that the cost price was 1.2 yuan per piece, and the prepared export price was 0.8 yuan per piece. In order to export more goods and earn more foreign exchange, everyone was doing business at a loss at this time.
However, Zhan Chunlan was exceptionally bold. When others asked about the price, she directly quoted 6 yuan. Although she offered a 1 yuan discount, it was still 5 yuan, more than 6 times the export price, and it was a spittoon that they had never paid any attention to.
They hadn't planned to exhibit this item; it's just that some staff member made a mistake, bringing it not only from Jiangcheng to Guangcheng but also to their stall. It was all just fate.
After signing the contract, the group prepared to continue their aimless wandering.
Zhan Chunlan called out to them: "I know there's a stall up ahead. You'll probably like the things there. They're all handmade using traditional methods, and each one is unique."
Hearing the words "handmade," "traditional," and "custom-made" was enough to captivate the group, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhan Chunlan stepped forward to lead the way: "Please follow me."
Having closed a deal, the foreign girl lowered her guard around Zhan Chunlan and walked up to her, asking, "How old are you? You look so young. Do you start working so early?"
Zhan Chunlan understands perfectly, just as she can't tell the foreigners' ages: "I'm already 24 years old and currently in university. We're here to participate in the school's social practice."
"Wow~ You look so young at 24! I thought you were only 14." The girl was very surprised. She thought Zhan Chunlan was younger than her, but it turned out she was 4 years older.
As we chatted, we arrived at Gutian's stall, but there were still no customers.
Upon arriving at the stall, the foreigners were immediately captivated without even needing Zhan Chunlan's introduction.
Man: "Wow~ I really like this tea set, I must bring it back."
Another man picked up a bamboo mat, his eyes shining: "I love this. If I hang this on the wall, it'll be a work of art. I think it's more beautiful than many paintings!"
Women were even more enthusiastic, especially the girl who had just placed an order for 20,000 yuan: "Wow~ I love this dollhouse, I want to take the whole set!"
Zhan Chunlan pulled Chen Yi over and told her, "This is the designer of these dollhouses. Let her introduce them to you personally."
"Did you design this? You're such a genius to come up with such an idea."
The two girls, who felt like they had known each other for a long time, sat around the dollhouse and shared their thoughts.
Chen Yi also introduced her to the bamboo woven bag next to her. It was originally designed for the dollhouse, but it was so beautiful that she designed it as a real person.
"This bamboo bag is so beautiful!"
As she spoke, she held her bag in her hand, as if there were a mirror in front of her, and she struck various poses in front of the mirror.
Chen Yi also chimed in: "Oh~~ This bag matches your look perfectly today, giving you the feel of a lady from a medieval noble family."
The others around her echoed her sentiments, making her very happy.
"Wow~ What is this? It's so beautiful! Is this also a dollhouse?" This was the voice of a woman with a serious expression. Because of her strong aura, Zhan Chunlan did not dare to approach her. Only after the woman asked the question did she dare to walk up to her.
"This is the cat house I designed, 'Bamboo Bone Tang Style Snow-Roofed Cat Hut'," Zhan Chunlan explained carefully, standing beside the cat house. "The hemispherical bamboo-woven dome, with a slightly raised top, resembles a Tang Dynasty 'snow-roofed hut,' with soft lines, perfect for a cat to curl up in. The snow-roofed eaves combine the eaves design of ancient Chinese architecture, projecting 2cm outwards, both protecting against rain and creating light and shadow, visually 'snow falling on the roof.' And this oriental-style grille uses ancient techniques, made from water-polished split bamboo strips only 0.2mm thick, woven with a 'cross-lock' pattern, allowing light to pass through while obscuring shadows, making the cat's silhouette appear and disappear."
"This design offers high breathability and natural ventilation, preventing stuffiness in summer. Bamboo has a low thermal conductivity, allowing for the use of cotton padding in winter to create an air insulation layer, ensuring warmth in winter and coolness in summer. It also features an anti-tipping design with a weighted bamboo base to prevent the cat from tipping over. Finally, the rope curtain at the entrance, combined with the low doorway, provides a sense of security for the cat."
Every time Zhan Chunlan spoke, the woman in front of her nodded, looking incredibly cute. It turns out that this serious and dedicated young lady is also a sweet cat lover at heart.
After Zhan Chunlan finished her explanation, a man standing nearby pointed to a slightly larger one next to him and asked, "Is this the doghouse?"
Zhan Chunlan nodded: "That's right, it's almost the same as a cat bed, except that the entrance and the interior space have been slightly adjusted to suit the dog's habits. Moreover, such cat and dog beds are very easy to integrate into a home. Just place them in a corner of the living room or study, and the oriental atmosphere will be instantly filled."
