The second merchant was selling fireworks and firecrackers. He approached Chu Qingzhi with a smile, "Miss Chu, with the New Year approaching, everyone will surely want to set off fireworks. My fireworks are particularly cheap. Would you consider them?"
Setting off fireworks and firecrackers in winter could easily lead to fires. What if they ended up burning down the workshop? Who would be responsible?
However, it was indeed a tradition to set off fireworks on the day of ancestor worship at the end of the year.
Chu Qingzhi responded, "We won't sell fireworks in the general store, but I do need some. Please deliver them to me."
Finding a new opportunity, the merchant's smile widened, "How many do you need, miss? I'll arrange the delivery right away."
After a brief negotiation, the merchant left happily.
