Chapter 289 Let’s make lanterns together

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang took her whole family to Dacheng Temple early in the morning to burn incense and worship Buddha.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Yugui took his second sister to the Lu Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and he went to several wealthy families to pay New Year's greetings.

On the third day of junior high school, the family had free time. Wang Yugui took his family for a stroll in the city.

The market is very lively, with various performers and snacks hawking...

"Oh, brother, if I had known that the market would be so lively during the Chinese New Year, we would also come to set up stalls and sell things!" The older sister was envious as she watched, feeling that those small vendors could make a lot of money by setting up stalls during the Chinese New Year!

The second sister also said: "Yes, brother, setting up a stall here is quite interesting. You can have fun and make money while setting up a stall. How lively it is!"

"Haha, what do you two want to set up a stall to sell?" Wang laughed.

The second sister blinked her eyes and suddenly pointed to a stall selling children's gadgets in front of her: "Just sell gadgets that children like, masks, small windmills, rattles... Haha, look at how good that stall's business is!"

"Well, children's things are fine, but I think the silk flowers, headdresses, hand ornaments, silk scarves, and handkerchiefs that girls like are also for sale," the elder sister said while looking around.

He pointed to a stall in front of him: "Brother, look, that stall sells just that, and the business is very good!"

Wang Yugui smiled and thought: They also know that women and children are easier to make money!

Wang Yugui smiled: "Well, you are both right. I think the business of selling candied haws is also very good. Do you want to sell candied haws?"

"Okay, oh, but where can we get candied haws on a stick?" the eldest sister said hurriedly.

Wang Yugui smiled: "Yes, where can I get supplies for you now?"

"Hey, brother, let's prepare early next year. During the Chinese New Year, we will also set up a street stall and make a lot of money!" The second sister laughed

Mrs. Wang also laughed at the side: "I tell you, during the Lantern Festival, you can go sell lanterns!"

"Both adults and children like those lanterns. You can hold them in your hands and sell them. It's easier than those selling children's toys!"

"Last year, your brother bought two rabbit lanterns for my mother!"

"Ah, really? Oh, yes, why didn't I think of it? During the Lantern Festival, we can sell lanterns!" The elder sister's big eyes gleamed.

The second sister also laughed: "Well, selling lanterns is good, we can also look at the lanterns while selling them, and we can make money while having fun!"

The eldest sister stepped forward and took Wang Yugui's arm: "Brother, let's stop shopping. You can take us back now to get some lanterns!"

The second sister also stepped forward and pulled Wang Yugui: "Yes, brother, we have to prepare in advance. We can't be out of stock again!"

"Haha, are you serious?" Wang Yugui smiled. He didn't expect the two sisters to be so enthusiastic about making money!

Mrs. Wang also smiled: "Eldest sister, second sister, the workshops are closed right now, and the masters who make lanterns are celebrating the New Year at home. Where can you ask your brother to help you get the lanterns?"

"Yes, mother is right. Those who make lanterns in the workshop all received orders in advance and finished them years ago. There is no one who is still rushing to work during the New Year. The masters also have to celebrate the New Year." Wang Yugui smiled

After hearing this, the eldest sister and the second sister let go of their hands in disappointment. The eldest sister suddenly said again: "Brother, since we can't get lanterns, let's make some ourselves!"

"Boss Xia's paper shop next door has ready-made lantern paper and bamboo materials, and small candles for sale. Let's go to his house to buy some."

"We will make a few dozen to try first. If they sell well, we will make more in advance next year!"

"Ah? Make your own lanterns? Sister, can you do it?" Wang Yugui looked at her in surprise.

I thought: This little girl is quite persistent!

The eldest sister nodded and smiled: "I can make the simplest four-corner lamp!"

"Ah, four-corner lamp?" Wang Yugui was speechless.

I thought: Isn’t that just a four-cornered frame? Who would buy it if it’s so simple?

The eldest sister looked at Wang Yugui and said with a smile: "Brother, although the four-corner lamp is simple, don't we still have you in our family?"

"You are a famous painter in the city. Can't you just draw some nice patterns on the lamp?"

"Yes, yes, brother, as long as you draw the pattern, our lamps will definitely sell well!" The second sister hurriedly agreed after hearing this.

Wang Yugui smiled: "This, this, what you two said seems to make sense!"

"How about we try a few first?"

"Okay, okay" the eldest sister and the second sister nodded repeatedly.

Just do it, Wang Yugui and his family immediately walked back, preparing to go home and make lanterns.

On the way, I met a man selling candied haws, and the second sister wanted to eat them. Wang Yugui bought four skewers, one for each person, and ate them while walking.

"The candied haws sold on the street are far worse than those made by Tan Gongzi's family," the second sister commented while eating.

The eldest sister smiled: "Of course it's incomparable. Mr. Tan's candied haws on a stick is filled with honey!"

Speaking of Tan Junsheng, Wang Yugui is looking forward to the Lantern Festival very much.

On Lantern Festival night, he had a date with Tan Junsheng.

……

As soon as they got home, the eldest and second sisters ran to Boss Xia's house and bought all the materials needed to make lanterns.

Since the sisters insisted on making their own lanterns, Wang Yugui had no choice but to make plans for them.

"Sister, this way, the four-corner lamp you make should not be too big. You can make it according to the size I drew!" Wang Yugui handed the sketch of the four-corner lamp to the elder sister.

The eldest sister looked at it, nodded and smiled: "Hey, brother, you are so thoughtful. The lamp you drew looks very pleasing to the eye!"

"Yes, a lamp of this size is especially suitable for children to hold and play with." The second sister came over to look at the picture and nodded.

Wang Yugui smiled: "Haha, let's get a zodiac lantern. I'm going to draw the twelve zodiac signs on the lantern. No, just ten zodiac signs, not the dragon and the mouse! I'll also draw two Fuwa patterns."

"Brother, why don't you draw dragons and mice anymore? This year is the Year of the Dragon," the second sister asked hurriedly.

Wang Yugui smiled: "Dragon, there may be taboos, so don't draw it casually to avoid getting into trouble."

"There is something taboo about mice. They are pests. Generally, few people are willing to buy them and take them home. They still don't paint well!"

"Yeah, brother, you're right, just draw a lucky doll. It's festive!" The older sister smiled.

Wang also supported children's handicraft entrepreneurship. She went to the kitchen to boil a pot of paste for later use.

In this way, the eldest sister is responsible for building the lantern frame, the second sister is responsible for pasting the lantern paper, Wang Yugui is responsible for drawing the pattern on the lantern, Wang has boiled the paste and helps the eldest sister build the frame...

The whole family had a great time!

After making twelve lanterns, the eldest sister and the second sister took them to the market to sell them.

The first batch of twelve lanterns was sold by two little girls in just one hour!

"Brother, there are no lanterns like ours in the market. Everyone felt strange when they saw it. They gathered around to see it and rushed to buy it!" The elder sister smiled from ear to ear.

The second sister was even more happy: "Hey, the main reason is that the zodiac pictures I drew are so similar. The children didn't want to leave after seeing them and insisted on buying one!"
