"We need to be quick. Make 47 first, and ask the factory manager about the rest."

The gadgets are relatively simple and can be completed in a fairly fast time.

"Is anyone from the ceramics factory here? Do you have a set of 47 bowls and plates, two bowls and one plate, and two pairs of chopsticks, the most basic kind?"

"I have it there, I'll go get it now."

"Is anyone from the garment factory here? I need a brightly colored fabric, preferably plain, but it can have some patterns too. It doesn't need to be too big, one meter per batch is fine. Ask the factory manager about the price."

"I have!"

There are many things that make good souvenirs, especially since foreigners love Chinese handicrafts.

Actually, purses and shoe insoles would also work, but they're not very easy to match. You can't exactly put shoe insoles next to plates and bowls!

The bowls, plates, and cloth arrived the fastest. The bowls had the character "福" (fortune) and the phrase "五谷丰登" (abundant harvest) written on them; they were indeed very ordinary.

The factory manager was a little embarrassed, "We don't have much stock of other styles; this is the most we have."

Of course, it's also the cheapest.

Lin Chuchu nodded, "This is the most suitable one."

The garment factory brought two kinds of fabric, one was water-red and the other was yellow, which were their most vibrant fabrics.

Lin Chuchu put the cloth into the box. "It would be nice if there were a tray like that, but it's okay."

The cloth was folded repeatedly, with a cloth separating the bowl and plate, chopsticks next to it, the plate at the bottom, and a large empty space at the top.

The box was long and narrow, and Lin Chuchu used red and yellow cloth to decorate it.

Lin Chuchu stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Red or yellow cloth is fine, you can choose one, and put three small zodiac animals on it."

The minister silently calculated that the gift would cost around three yuan, which was within their budget.

"We need both types of fabric. Go back and see how much you can get. You need to prepare it quickly. We need two hundred sets tomorrow."

After a flurry of activity,

The delivery people brought drinks and water, and the electronics factory workers taught people how to use the soy milk maker.

When the staff from the state-run restaurant arrived, they immediately started making steamed buns, twisted rolls, and dumplings; the meat was all prepared and brought by them.

Soon, two middle-aged women arrived. They were quite good at making dumplings, wontons, and pies.

They quickly set up the cooking pot and began preparing the food.

They even set up a small shop up there, selling snacks and candy.

The newly renovated shop has undergone a dramatic transformation. On the table sits a vibrant green vase, made by a ceramics factory, filled with flowers. A checkered cloth is also placed on the table, and complimentary tea is available.

There were also papers and pens on the table, and the overall environment looked very comfortable.

"I would be happy to sign a contract in such an environment."

One of the exhibition area managers said in a low voice.

While everyone else was wandering around, Lin Chuchu was extremely busy.

Place a small figurine of each of the twelve zodiac animals in the gift box.

Lin Chuchu looked left and right, but she felt like something was missing.

The minister looked left and right, "Isn't a carrying bag missing?"

Lin Chuchu suddenly slapped her forehead. She couldn't expect people to stroll through the exhibition with gift boxes in their hands, could she?

"Let's go see if anyone knows how to make pockets."
