"Wow, there are so many cute wood carvings in this shop!" A group of girls walked into the shop and exclaimed when they saw the exquisite wood carvings displayed in the shop's display cabinets.
These wood carvings were of various quality. There was a cute Jingle Cat, a series of small pets like Pikachu, Jenni Tortoise, and a fire-breathing dragon. There were also Digimon's Yagu Beast, Dilu Beast, and the evolved Angel Beast. All of them were exquisitely carved and painted with a non-toxic natural paint. They looked exquisite and cute, and the people who entered the shop were dazzled.
"Wow, is this an angel beast? It looks so cute, but it's so expensive. It's so small, yet it costs 5,000 taels of silver each." A golden-haired little girl looked at the Angel Beast carving in the glass cabinet and pouted. She then looked at the young shop owner sitting behind the counter, who seemed to be reading a book. She walked over, blinked her big eyes, and said cutely, "Boss, can you give me a discount?"
Looking at the cute golden-haired little girl in front of him, the young shop owner sitting behind the counter reading a book, looked up, and smiled as he said, "Sorry, customer, this shop does not offer discounts."
Looking at the smiling young shop owner saying such heartless words, the golden-haired little girl's eyes glistened, and she was about to cry. However, in the end, she pouted and said, "Okay, then I want that Angel Beast! Here, 5,000 taels of silver! "
Although she was unwilling to be ignored because of her cute appearance, the little girl finally decided to spend money to buy this wood carving that she liked.
There was no helping it; this Angel Beast was so cute.
"Thank you, thank you!" The young shop owner smiled slightly. After taking the money, he walked to the counter and took out a wrapped box and handed it over.
What was on the display cabinet was, of course, the exhibits that could not be sold. However, Ye Xuan still carved quite a lot of these images. Anyway, with his cultivation level, this kind of thing could be done with just a thought. Therefore, although all the wood carvings looked very exquisite, they were exactly the same as if they were made from the same mold.
The little girl took the box and opened it. It was exactly the same as the one on the display case. A joyful smile showed up on her face. She closed the box carefully and then bowed at Ye Xuan. Then she left with a smile on her face.
"Boss, I want this Pikachu, here's 3,000 taels of silver!"
"Boss, I want this Kinomoto Sakura, here's 5,000 taels of silver!"
One after another, many children came to visit, but in the end, only four wood carvings were sold: the Angel Beast, the Pikachu, the Kinomoto Sakura, and a Jani Turtle.
At first, Ye Xuan thought that his wood carving shop was just a small shop for people to pass the time. Little did he expect that this ordinary-looking wood carving shop would become unexpectedly popular after a stroke of inspiration.
Except for the first ten days or so when he opened the shop, because he was preparing the wood carvings, there was not much business. Later, when he put these cute cartoon wood carvings in the custom-made display cabinet, business became very good. On a few days, he could sell two or three wood carvings, and on a few days, he could even sell a dozen.
One had to know that each of his wood carvings cost at least 3,000 taels of silver. Sometimes, he could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a day. Apart from the rent, it was basically a business with no capital. It could be said that it was a profiteering business.
Moreover, seeing that these cartoon figures were so popular, in fact, Ye Xuan had thought of directly asking someone to make these figures into Ragdolls. This way, some children who did not like wood carvings would definitely choose Ragdolls. After all, hugging a wood carving was definitely not as comfortable as hugging a soft Ragdoll.
If he thought about it a little more, he could completely distribute these figures in the form of franchises. He could let people sell Ragdolls, he could let people draw manga, he could even let people make cartoons, and he could even let people make all kinds of peripherals. He could completely form a huge business.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Ye Xuan completely gave up on this idea.
He did not really want to make money. He just wanted to have an industry in Konoha so that he would not attract attention. If he operated as he thought, wouldn't it go against his original intention?
"Uncle!" Just as Ye Xuan was seemingly reading the book in his hand, he was actually circulating his Celestial Core Power to refine the Celestial Spirit Lake water in his body to heal his internal injuries. Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from outside the shop.
Looking up, he saw Asuka, who was wearing a blue dress and had her hair tied up in a ponytail, running in from outside the shop. Behind her were her mother, Kawa Yukiko.
"Kiko, Asuka, why are you here?" Ye Xuan smiled at the sight of the mother and daughter. He reached out his hand to stroke the head of Asuka, who had run up to him.
"Today is my mother's birthday, so I want to buy something delicious for my mother with the pocket money you gave me. Uncle, can I?" Asuka raised her little face and looked at Ye Xuan.
"Of course!" Looking at Asuka's appearance, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, then stood up and said, "Kiko, I didn't know that today is your birthday. I'm sorry, happy birthday!"
"Xuan Kun is too polite. It's just a birthday every year. It's just that little Asuka wants to help me celebrate my birthday, so I came to trouble you." Kiko laughed.
"It's no trouble." Ye Xuan smiled and waved his hand, then said, "Well, since today is Kiko's birthday, let's close the shop a little earlier today to celebrate. Let's go, Asuka, what do you want to eat for your mother?"
"Barbecue, I want to eat barbecue for my mother!" Asuka jumped up and laughed.
"Little guy, I think you want to eat barbecue for yourself!" Looking at Asuka's appearance, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, then directly closed the shop door, and then went to a barbecue shop.
After coming to a barbecue shop, because it was not yet night, there were not many people in the barbecue shop. Ye Xuan and Kiko chose an empty table and sat down, then ordered a pile of barbecue and began to eat.
At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly heard a voice not far away.
In fact, Ye Xuan had been gathering intelligence in secret all this time. It was just that with his cultivation level, he could do it without making a sound. And the reason why this voice caught his attention this time was because of the content of the voice. He heard a middle-aged man wearing a Konoha forehead protector on his arm say to his companion sitting opposite him, "Have you guys heard? It seems like there are two five-year-old kids in our school who want to apply for early graduation this time!"
