Chapter 35 The plush toys Qin Ren brought this time…

Qin Ren didn't bring many plush toys this time, six large ones and eight small ones.

He sold the larger ones and gave the smaller ones away for free as opening gifts.

Because Qin Ren was giving away his plush toys for free, many passersby who were looking for a bargain came in and grabbed them.

They came to steal things, and other passersby, not knowing what was going on, would curiously follow them in to see what was happening.

Once the eight small plush toys were gone, some of those who missed out looked at the larger plush toys in the shop and found them to be more attractive and feel better. Since they had never seen these before, some bought them to give to their family members.

Furry toys are not only beautiful in appearance, but also look harmless.

It would be a great gift for either your wife or your child.

In addition, scarcity increases value, and Qin Ren's shop only had six large plush toys, which were all bought up by customers who came to see the spectacle on the morning of the opening day.

To facilitate communication, Qin Ren labeled the price under each item.

He had someone specifically write down these prices for him, so that the prices were clearly marked and Qin Ren wouldn't have to waste time talking to them, making it much easier to sell things.

What Qin Ren didn't expect was that Liu Qingyue's younger brother also came on the afternoon of the opening day.

Whether out of curiosity about this strange shop or because he knew Qin Ren was Liu Qingyue's benefactor, the other party came with guards and maids.

Qin Ren didn't know his identity at first, only that his appearance seemed somewhat familiar. Later, after overhearing his conversation with the maid, he realized that he was also a young master of the Liu family.

Liu Qingyan whispered to the maid, "He... is that Qin Ren?"

"Yes, his mother is from Dayong, and his father is from another country. He only recently returned to Dayong with his mother. Because the north is in great turmoil, he accidentally saved the Third Prince while fleeing."

Liu Qingyan gently pursed her lips, "His face... how did it get so rotten? It looks quite frightening."

Upon hearing this, the maid cautiously glanced at Qin Ren, and their eyes met.

The maid was startled and quickly turned her back, pretending to look at the items in the shop.

The other person's face was indeed horribly disfigured.

But... his face is only scary on the left side; if you look closely, his right side is actually quite handsome.

Especially his eyes, which seemed quite different from those of an ordinary man.

With thick eyebrows and big eyes, you can tell at a glance that he's not a real ugly monster.

The maid waited until Qin Ren stopped looking in their direction before lowering her voice and continuing, "Here... Young Master, the Master has already come looking for him, and it's obvious that the Third Young Master isn't here."

Liu Qingyan: "I didn't come here to see him. I wish he would never come back, so I could save myself some trouble."

"Then... Master, shall we continue strolling around here?"

"Let's browse around. I want to see what's so special about this merchant. Why do people say this shop is so unique?"

As Liu Qingyan said this, she began to browse through the shop.

Then, it would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. Once he did, he realized that things were indeed a bit different here.

He didn't originally intend to spend money, but seeing that many people were buying things and that the shelves were running low, he inexplicably bought two items as well.

When he came out with his men, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed as he held the things in his hands.

This person has an ambiguous relationship with Liu Qingyue, and Liu Qingyue's ability to escape might be related to him.

He was already being kind by not causing trouble for the other party, but he actually... he actually acted impulsively and spent money just like everyone else.

Also, things here are really expensive; a single item can easily cost two taels of silver.

He bought two items, which cost him a total of five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver is enough for him to buy a lot of rouge.

...

Qin Ren saw that the shop had sold out, so he didn't restock.

He decided that from now on, he would close the shop once he had sold out of everything on the shelves each day.

Whether he sells out in the morning or the afternoon, as soon as the shelves are empty, he immediately packs up and closes the shop.

This can also be considered a form of scarcity marketing.

It was only four o'clock in the afternoon when Qin Ren closed the shop door.

Instead of immediately returning to the modern world, he took out a ledger and began keeping accounts.

He waited until it got dark before putting away his account book and preparing to go home.

Before he could even return, Liu Qingyue came to find him with some food.

Knowing that his shop was opening today, Liu Qingyue was very curious about how the business was doing.

He happened to have cooked a lot of food that evening, so he brought a portion for Qin Ren when he came.

Yes, Liu Qingyue has recently started learning to cook.

Even if Qin Ren has a lot of delicious food, he can't eat fruit and snacks as a meal.

In addition, Qin Ren's cooking was quite convenient, so Liu Qingyue learned to cook some simple dishes.

Today he cooked instant noodles with vegetables and a poached egg.

To ensure a balanced diet, he also fried some pork belly and boiled two ears of corn.

Liu Qingyue had come by eating; he was carrying the food he had brought for Qin Ren when he happened to run into Qin Ren, who was on his way back to the modern world.

Qin Ren was quite surprised to see him cook. Although the meal seemed rather simple, Qin Ren still generously praised him, considering that he was a wealthy young master.

"The food you cooked smells pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue was overjoyed, and he also thought the food he had cooked smelled delicious.

"By the way, your shop opened today, how are the sales?"

"It's alright."

"So...you weren't harassed by anyone, were you?"

In the eyes of others, Qin Ren was a foreigner.

Even though he is now a legitimate resident of Nanning, it doesn't mean that others will really treat him as an ordinary Nanning resident.

"No, I'm quite good at handling interpersonal relationships."

If it weren't for the frightening scars on Qin Ren's face, honestly, Qin Ren would probably be more popular.

In ancient times, men had an advantage due to their gender, and men with outstanding looks and temperament were even more sought after.

Qin Ren has always been well-liked; he can make many friends quickly if he wants to.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, your brother came by today."

"Younger brother? You mean, Liu Qingyan came to the shop? What was he doing here? Was he trying to cause trouble?"

"I don't know. He didn't talk to me much. He bought two things and left."

"He's definitely not here to buy anything; I guess... he just wants to come and see you."

Hearing this, Qin Ren asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why is he looking at me?"

What's so interesting about an ugly guy like him?

Liu Qingyue didn't say anything upon hearing this, and changed the subject elsewhere.

Are you going back to your place today?

"I need to go back. I haven't showered for days. I'll take a good shower when I get back."

Liu Qingyue nodded and walked back with Qin Ren.

After the two of them went back together, Qin Ren went straight to take a shower.

Liu Qingyue didn't want to wash the dishes, so she drove around the yard by herself.

To avoid hitting his dog, he carried the dog to the car, and the two of them had a great time playing together.

When Qin Ren came out of the bathroom, Liu Qingyue was hitting the back of his car with a toy car.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ren quickly said, "Why did you hit it?"

Liu Qingyue glanced back at him and said, "I think it takes up too much space; I can't even drive properly anymore."

“If you think it takes up space, you can tell me. To be honest, this car of mine is quite expensive. I didn’t hold it against you before because it was an accident, but now you’ve clearly done it on purpose.”

Liu Qingyue wasn't scared at all upon hearing this. "How expensive could it be? Can't I afford my own bracelet?"

“You can certainly afford the bracelet, but… you also need to pay for rent, electricity, water, food, drinks, and other necessities…”

Before Qin Ren could finish speaking, Liu Qingyue interrupted him.

"You stingy guy, I'll give you the money when I have a chance to go back."

Qin Ren didn't really want him to give him more money; he just didn't want him to keep crashing into his car.

Qin Ren ignored his words, found the car keys, and moved the car.

He moved the car to a position against the wall, thinking that Liu Qingyue should be satisfied now.

As soon as he got out of the car, he noticed that Liu Qingyue was staring at his car with a sidelong glance.

Qin Ren: "What kind of look is that?"

Liu Qingyue muttered, "I want to drive a big truck in the future, a bigger one than yours."

Qin Ren was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, "Alright, I'll teach you how to drive this kind of big vehicle when I have the chance in the future."

Qin Ren did not stay overnight in the modern world. The shop could not be left unattended for the time being, so he still had to go and keep watch over it.

After watching Qin Ren leave from the basement, Liu Qingyue used her car key to unlock Qin Ren's car.

He looked down and inspected the car, finding it quite shabby, so he didn't dare touch anything. He sat in it for a while, then reluctantly got off.

After Liu Qingyue came down, she went back to play on her tablet.

These past few days he's gotten tired of playing Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds, and wants to try something else.

Then he randomly opened two apps and accidentally clicked on a shopping app, which opened the door to a whole new world for him.

Meanwhile, Qin Ren returned to ancient times and couldn't sleep soundly.

I don't know if it's because he took a cold shower, but he always felt a chill on his back.

After forcing himself to fall asleep, Qin Ren opened his shop and started doing business as usual the next day.

Today he's mainly selling decorative items, including fabric artificial flowers and preserved flowers made using special methods.

Then there are three-dimensional butterflies. These three-dimensional butterflies can be used to decorate walls and curtains, and they will glow at night.

Besides these, there are also several cat-shaped backpacks.

This cat-shaped backpack looks very similar to a real cat.

Because they were so exotic and of such high quality, they were all bought up by one person as soon as they were taken out.

The other party bought the bag, seemingly intending to resell it at a high price.

Qin Ren didn't interfere, even if he knew about it, he couldn't control it anyway.

He also had no way of knowing whether the customers who came into the store were middlemen.

If the other party isn't right, he might offend people if he says anything more.

Whether they resell the items at a high price or intend to give them away as gifts, Qin Ren is willing to sell them to them as long as they pay honestly when they buy them.

The backpacks sold out in the morning, but the other items didn't sell out until the afternoon.

Among them, the butterflies that glow at night are very popular with customers who come to the store.

A woman bought six butterflies and, on her way home, tried them out in a dimly lit cellar.

Later, she discovered that butterflies really could glow, so she ran over and spent money to buy three more.

It wasn't that she didn't want to buy more, but when she came back, there were only three butterflies left.

There are thirty butterflies like this in total.

Because they are so lifelike, they can also be placed on clothes and hair.

If a woman or a young man wears it, it will give the impression of a butterfly landing in her hair.

In addition, they can glow at night. If you wear many of these butterflies, they can dance gracefully at night, which would be very beautiful and stunning.

It wasn't until the next day that Liu Qingyan learned that Qin Ren's shop sold these glowing butterflies.

He immediately sent his servants to inquire, as he also wanted to buy a few to wear on his head.

Unfortunately, by the next day, the shop had replaced the goods with other items.

The goods on the second day were all ceramic products.

There are ceramic cups, ceramic plates, ceramic bowls and dishes, etc.

Originally, people weren't as interested in these as they were in the previous goods.

But when they got to Qin Ren's shop, they couldn't resist buying some of everything.

Qin Ren Shop's ceramic products all have very novel and interesting designs.

For example, his ordinary ceramic cups not only come in the shape of flowers, but also in the shape of animals.

The plates were even more bizarre and varied.

Because there are many styles, and each style is only available in one, they are quite popular.

The Liu family came over and bought a flower plate and a dog-shaped cup.

The items still sold out quickly, by 2 p.m.

After closing the shop, Qin Ren planned to return to the modern world and have Liu Qingyue continue teaching him the Dayong dialect.

Knowing that Liu Qingyue wasn't very good at cooking, he brought a roast goose with him when he went back.

There's a roast goose shop on the street where their shop is located that sells pretty good roast goose.

When Qin Ren returned with the roast goose, Liu Qingyue was watering the flowers in the yard.

Upon suddenly seeing Qin Ren return, Liu Qingyue seemed a little guilty. He didn't dare to meet Qin Ren's eyes, but instead spoke to Qin Ren with his eyes lowered.

Looking at him like this, Qin Ren had a vague sense of unease.

Qin Ren first ran to his car and circled around to make sure there were no new signs of impact, then ran to the gate to check the locked gate.

Qin Ren returned to Liu Qingyue's side and asked, "Did you do something bad to offend me?"

Liu Qingyue still didn't dare to look at him, and said with very little confidence, "Well, I didn't do anything bad."

"So you really did something to betray me?"

As Qin Ren said this, he walked towards his room.

Liu Qingyue figured he was going to die anyway, so before Qin Ren could even realize the problem, he simply confessed to Qin Ren himself.

Liu Qingyue: "I... I just used your tablet to buy... buy a little bit of stuff."

On Qin Ren's tablet, not only was his shopping account logged in, but his payment account was also linked.

Qin Ren didn't believe Liu Qingyue at all when she said that she had bought a few things.

He found his phone, opened the shopping app, and was immediately filled with helplessness and speechlessness.

"You can't even read, yet you dare to buy things randomly?"

Liu Qingyue: "I didn't just buy these things randomly; they are all useful."

Qin Ren pointed to one of the items and asked, "Do you know what this is for?"

"Of course I know, this is a wig."

Wigs also existed in ancient times.

Even if Liu Qingyue couldn't read, she would know what this was.

"You have so much hair, why do you need to buy a wig?"

Moreover, such genuine hairpins are extremely expensive, and Liu Qingyue bought three of them at once.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Liu Qingyue didn't argue with Qin Ren.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent, thinking that since he had already bought the items, Qin Ren couldn't return them to him.

The next second, he heard Qin Ren say, "Only one of the three wigs was shipped. I'll return the other two to you."

"No, I want a wig."

"No way. I bought the wig to pretend to be from ancient times. You're a genuine person from ancient times, with your own long hair. What are you buying this for?"

Liu Qingyue: "I can give you the silver, but you can't return it all."

Where do you have any money now?

When Liu Qingyue arrived, she was frightened by the Liu family and brought nothing with her.

Hearing Qin Ren ask this, he slightly raised his chin and said, "When I first arrived at Yuyang Prefecture, my father gave me a bag of silver, and my eldest cousin gave me two gold leaves. Later, the Liu family's attitude towards me became increasingly strange, so I hid them just in case. Don't return my things; I can tell you where they are hidden."

Qin Ren didn't really want Liu Qingyue's money when he said that.

He just felt that Liu Qingyue had bought a lot of useless things.

Furthermore, people in ancient times did not yet understand the terrifying nature of modern capitalists.

He was a little worried that Liu Qingyue, being new to these things, might inadvertently become obsessed with these shopping apps.

Qin Ren turned off his phone and chatted with Liu Qingyue for a long time.

Liu Qingyue wasn't unreasonable. After listening to what Qin Ren had to say, he understood that he really shouldn't have bought everything.

So the two compromised: Liu Qingyue agreed to let Qin Ren return some of the goods, and Qin Ren agreed that he could spend two hundred yuan every month thereafter.

To teach this young master that making money is not easy, Qin Ren decided to retrieve the silver that Liu Qingyue had hidden.

Qin Ren did not take his money, but told him to keep it himself.

From now on, if he wants to buy expensive items, he will spend the money from his small purse.

When he had spent all the money, he realized he had no money left, and naturally he understood the importance of money.

Liu Qingyue hid her silver under a tree outside the back wall of the Liu family's main house.

Liu Qingyue dug a small pit and buried all the silver inside.

Qin Ren went to look for it at night. He was quite worried that since Liu Qingyue had hidden it in such an obvious place, the buried silver might have already been taken away.

Later, when he dug it up, he found that the silver was still there.

Just as Liu Qingyue said, he had quite a lot of money.

Qin Ren weighed the silver in his hand, then took it back to the shop.

He didn't go back specifically; instead, he placed the silver in a box at the entrance of the passage.

If Liu Qingyue saw this when she came to ancient times, she could naturally take his silver.

In the following days, Qin Ren did business in the shop during the day, and Liu Qingyue would come to teach him the Dayong dialect in the evening.

Because Qin Ren had never formally studied the dialect, his knowledge of Dayong dialect was very fragmented.

Now that Liu Qingyue is teaching him properly, especially about business, Qin Ren is learning very quickly.

During this time, Qin Ren would also occasionally teach Liu Qingyue the modern language of their world.

That evening, Liu Qingyue arrived in ancient times and said to Qin Ren, "You haven't retrieved the things I bought before."

Qin Ren nodded upon hearing this, "I'll go back tomorrow and get it back for you then."

Hearing that Qin Ren had agreed to help her retrieve all the packages, Liu Qingyue finally felt relieved.

"By the way, could you inquire about my brother and mother for me these next couple of days? I wonder if they've arrived at Yuyang Prefecture yet?"

If they knew that Liu Qingyue had already arrived at Yuyang Prefecture, they should have returned here very soon.

Qin Ren: "Alright, I'll ask around for you in the next few days. You suddenly disappeared here, so if they really came to Yuyang Prefecture, it won't be difficult to find out about them."

Given Liu Qingyue's brother's temper, he would definitely make a scene if he found out that his younger brother had been lost by the Liu family.

When things get out of hand at the Liu family's place, it's impossible for the neighbors not to hear it.

Qin Ren suddenly remembered something. Recently, he had met many customers while selling his products, and some of them, like Liu Qingyue, had a red cinnabar mole between their eyebrows.

On their way to Yuyang Prefecture, Qin Ren had seen a villager with a cinnabar birthmark on his forehead.

At the time, he found it quite novel, thinking that there were quite a few people in the Dayong Dynasty with cinnabar birthmarks.

However... recently, among the customers he's encountered at his shop, quite a few men have this kind of cinnabar mole.

Qin Ren found it very strange. One or two could be considered a coincidence, but three or four... five or six... was a bit too strange.

"I've met quite a few guests lately, and they all have a cinnabar birthmark like you? Is there some kind of custom related to cinnabar birthmarks here?"

As Qin Ren spoke, he couldn't help but move closer to Liu Qingyue and touch the cinnabar mole on her forehead.

It's not a dot, it can't be wiped off?

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue's body stiffened slightly.

It took him a while to stammer, "Why are you staring at a man's forehead? Anyone who didn't know better would think you're gay."

Qin Ren was clearly not so easily fooled. He reached out and pinched Liu Qingyue's shoulder, then made her look up at him.

Qin Ren: "I'm slowly learning the Yong dialect now. How long are you going to keep the things you've been hiding from me from me?"

He still remembered this matter. He felt that what Liu Qingyue was hiding from him was probably related to the cinnabar birthmarks on their foreheads.

Liu Qingyue turned her head to the other side, looking like she didn't want to talk to Qin Ren.

Then, at that moment, a voice came from Qin Ren's shop.

Seeing this, Qin Ren gestured for Liu Qingyue to be quiet, and then he walked forward.

Liu Qingyue was a little scared, so he carefully peeked through the crack in the door.

If... if they are coming for him, he will immediately use the passage to escape.
