Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Please Take a Look

Shortly after, the two arrived at their new location and began organizing the rain boots, soap, gloves, and other items they had brought into neat categories. During this process, passing pedestrians constantly stopped in curiosity, staring at the novel items on their stall. After all, on this land from a thousand years ago, these were unprecedented rarities!

Hua Buwan looked at her newly set up stall with delight, though she still felt a bit anxious, wondering if they would make their first sale today. Just then, a miracle happened! A woman suddenly approached the stall, seemingly quite interested in the goods, and stopped to examine them. Seeing this, Hua Buwan’s eyes immediately lit up. It was as if she had been injected with a powerful surge of energy, instantly becoming spirited and radiant with vitality.

She excitedly looked up and spoke passionately to her potential customer with a face full of smiles. "Oh my, you have such great taste, my lovely lady! The items I have here are all rare treasures that are hard to come by! Our caravan went through great hardships, traveling thousands of miles to bring them all the way back from distant Persia! You absolutely won’t find them sold anywhere else around here!"

Hearing Hua Buwan’s words, the woman’s casual gaze immediately turned focused. When she heard that these treasures came from such a distant and mysterious country, her eyes lit up as if she had discovered some rare, priceless artifacts. Without a second thought, she squatted down and stared intently at the strange and wonderful novelties displayed on Hua Buwan’s stall.

Seeing this, Hua Buwan knew a sale was highly likely. She hurried to strike while the iron was hot, pointing at a pair of peculiarly styled shoes and launching into a fluent sales pitch. "Look here, miss. These are called rain boots. Their surface is made of a special waterproof material! Just like an umbrella that shields you from the wind and rain, no matter how much water gets on the outside, the inside will absolutely never get wet! If you don’t believe me, that’s perfectly fine. I can open my waterskin and do an on-the-spot demonstration for you right now. I guarantee you’ll be fully convinced!"

As she spoke, Hua Buwan deftly took out her waterskin, preparing to pour water over the rain boots. Right then, passersby were attracted by the commotion and gathered around curiously to see what was going on. For a moment, the small stall was packed with a bustling crowd. Everyone started talking at once, chattering away animatedly.

"Wow, is this surface really waterproof? Does that mean if you stand in a puddle on a rainy day, your socks won’t get soaked?"

"No way? There are actually such magical shoes in the world? How does that even work?"

"Could it be made of umbrella fabric and coated with waterproof oil or something? Didn’t you see how shiny the surface is?"

"Shopkeeper, can I handle these shoes for a second? I want to get a closer look at what the inside is like."

"Yeah, shopkeeper, I want to pick them up and take a look too, can I? I promise I won’t break them; I’ll handle them gently."

"..."

Hearing the crowd’s words, the Ling Family exchanged glances before ultimately resting their eyes on Hua Buwan.

Unrushed, Hua Buwan unstoppered her waterskin and poured water over the rain boots. "I will answer everyone’s questions one by one. But first, let me show you all the waterproofing effect of these shoes. Please watch—"
