Springtime is characterized by abundant rainfall.

Qin Yi held up a transparent umbrella and applied light makeup.

I boarded the bus to Ark Film City early in the morning.

Knowing that Qin Yi was coming today, Zi Xuan specially moved her morning filming to the afternoon and waited in the shop.

Qin Yi arrived at the door of the old house.

I stood outside and carefully observed the renovation of the store.

The original three-story building had an orange and yellow facade, but it was uniformly painted a somewhat mottled white.

When you touch it, it has a grainy texture.

It should be the currently popular microcement material.

Overall, it looks refreshing and sophisticated, yet has a touch of age.

The weeping crabapple trees that Qin Yi mentioned before have also been transplanted here.

It's a very large tree planted in the corner of the yard.

The stamens droop downwards, and the flowers bloom facing downwards.

Most of the pink and white flowers bloomed in the yard, with a small portion extending outside.

The scene is picturesque in the spring breeze and drizzle, exuding a faint fragrance and creating a very elegant atmosphere.

Pushing open the door, the beautiful woman was already waiting inside.

"Yi-mei, it's been a long time! You've become even more beautiful!"

Zixuan greeted him warmly with a smile in her eyes.

"Sister Xuan, I still feel inferior in front of the nation's goddess! Please don't make fun of me!"

Qin Yi carefully put the umbrella away in the bucket next to her.

I couldn't wait to take a stroll around the store.

"Huh? They've even installed an elevator? And it's at the back door?"

Zixuan followed her around, explaining, "I prepared this for my friends in the industry who can't show their faces. You know, when I open a shop, it's inevitable that some friends from the entertainment industry will come to support me."

"So I use the first and second floors for normal business sales, and the third floor can be used to host group gatherings or customized birthday parties for customers."

Qin Yi gave a thumbs up: "You're so thoughtful."

Zixuan took out a menu and showed it to Qin Yi: "I think there aren't enough varieties on this menu. Do you think we can add one or two more?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "I'm here today to deliver goods. I've developed two new floral-scented rolls to teach my cousin, and I've also come up with several stacked cake rolls that can be used to make special birthday cakes."

"Perfect! I felt the variety was a bit monotonous before. Birthday cakes have a high profit margin. Using Swiss rolls not only fits our store's main positioning but is also very novel. It would be even more beautiful with some fresh flowers! Just thinking about it makes me feel great!"

"Yi, I really made the right choice in choosing you as my partner."

"Sister Xuan, you're making me blush! I can only do product research; the marketing and promotion are all up to you!"

Zi Xuan revealed a smug expression: "Leave it to me, the female star! I'll personally cut the ribbon on the opening day. I've already made arrangements with all the media I have good relationships with, and they'll write advertorials for Four Seasons Flowers on that day."

"The first wave of purchases by my fans alone will probably last for two weeks. My good friends will also help me promote it, as well as Jiang Yuze. I also persuaded him to use his main account to help me promote it."

Hearing the gossip, Qin Yi's ears perked up: "Who did I hear! Who was it! Sister Zixuan, how did you bribe him?"

Zixuan blushed slightly and said shyly, "I just said I'd give him a VIP membership card for a cake shop, which would give him a 12% discount, and he agreed. He doesn't need the money, and I don't know why. Maybe it was out of respect for his fellow actors in the same drama?"

Qin Yi seemed to understand something, and kept her mouth shut, unable to laugh out loud.

Zi Xuan blushed and bumped Qin Yi hard: "Don't laugh! Go and show my cousin the production process, I need to get ready for filming too! Let's have a good get-together when you come back from Qingcheng!"

—————————

April arrived in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yi packed her luggage quickly and didn't tell anyone except her three partners who knew her whereabouts.

She looked up some information about Qingcha Ancient Town online.

I learned that the area was a typical river valley terrain.

A clear river flows through the ancient town, with overlapping and undulating mountains, and many terraced fields winding through the mountains like steps.

It is said that the area is famous for its tea production.

It sounds like a beautiful place.

Qin Yi hoped to use this business trip as an excuse to travel and relax a bit.

After a two-hour drive, Qin Yi arrived at Qingcha Ancient Town with her suitcase.

There are wooden stilted houses everywhere here, some on flat ground and some on the slopes of the mountains.

The main part of the scenic area is built on the southeastern slope of the Qingshui River valley.

Take a deep breath, and the air in the mountains is so fresh!

Qin Yi found her guesthouse for the night, put her luggage away, and prepared to go out and explore.

As the largest ancient town in Rainbow City, it attracts many tourists even outside of peak season.

There are shops selling various ethnic costumes, jewelry, ethnic-style art photography studios, as well as some restaurants and tea shops.

Qin Yi's task this time is to make traditional snacks.

The snack shop became a must-visit for today.

The handmade glutinous rice cakes, coated with lots of filling, taste pretty good when eaten hot because of the generous amount of filling.

The yellowish-brown rice cakes, like plain glutinous rice with added sugar, um... not very tasty.

The black pork skewers that cost one yuan each are quite good, but there are a lot of people queuing to buy them.

There are also crispy potato cakes and grilled tofu, plus a cup of iced milk tea.

Qin Yi rubbed her stomach, which felt like it was about to burst, and sat down in a foot massage parlor in the scenic area.

Visiting such a huge scenic area is not only a torment for the stomach, but also for the legs.

The person giving Qin Yi a massage was a girl with short, choppy hair and dark skin.

The girl had her head down, and Qin Yi noticed a faint red mole on her left earlobe.

She spoke very little, but her grip was incredibly strong, making Qin Yi grit her teeth in frustration.

Seeing Qin Yi's grimacing expression, the girl asked, "Should I be gentler?"

Qin Yi nodded hurriedly, but still tried to save face by replying, "Actually, I usually find it very strenuous, but I'm probably just too tired today."

The girl pressed Qin Yi's neck with her elbow: "All the muscles in your body are tense and stiff. You must have been working too hard lately. You need to rest."

Qin Yi closed her eyes, feeling completely relaxed, when she suddenly remembered her business and asked the girl with the tousled hair, "Do you know how to get to the nearest tea plantation?"

The girl looked up and said, "You want to go to the tea plantation? What's the point of going there? The scenery isn't as good as the scenic area, and it's been raining these past few days, so the roads are all muddy."

Qin Yi seized on the key point: "I just wanted to take a look. How did you know the road was muddy? Do you go there often?"

The girl with short hair said, "My family has a small tea plantation over there, and I often go there to tend to it."

"If you want to go, just search for Qingshan Tea Garden on the map and follow the navigation to get there."

"I'd also like to know if there are any popular online celebrity shops in the scenic area that I'd like to visit and check out," Qin Yi asked.

The girl looked at the snacks in Qin Yi's bag and thought about it seriously for a moment: "You've basically bought all the popular snacks online, and the popular restaurants are just those few by the river."

"Oh, by the way, there are two online singers who are also very popular recently. Go outside and walk to the Qingshui River later. There's a big square there, and you'll see them."
