“Did you hear? The Chamber of Commerce is hosting a product exhibition in the East Market. They’re unveiling a brand-new item!”
“Seriously? Then we better go now! I heard the exhibition only lasts seven days. Miss it now, and you won’t get another chance!”
“…”
The next morning, the front page of the Qingzhou newspaper blared bold headlines: “Exhibition Fair!” and “Glass Mirrors!”
The merchants of Qingzhou were thrown into a frenzy. Many had missed out on the previous three blockbuster products and still regretted it to this day. Now, none of them wanted to miss this fourth opportunity.
As soon as they saw the paper, they rushed straight to East Market.
Curious scholars and commoners joined the crowd as well, eager to see what the buzz was about.
Naturally, this exhibition fair was Xiao Ming’s idea. No matter how incredible a product was, people had to see it with their own eyes. This was the perfect way to reveal the mirror’s magic.
First, it would shock and awe everyone with its clarity; second, it would get merchants talking—word would spread like wildfire, and the hype would build itself.
At the market, a portion of the plaza had been cordoned off and surrounded by soldiers. No one was allowed within three meters of the mirrors.
Inside the roped-off area stood over a dozen glass mirrors, each propped up and gleaming.
