After Old Madam Qi arrived, the scholars who were initially appreciating the artworks courteously made way for her.
The old woman and the Duchess examined the artworks while asking, "What flower is depicted in this painting?"
"This is a sunflower field. The melon seeds and sunflower oil sold downstairs are products of this flower."
"Oh?" the crowd exclaimed in surprise, "Is there truly such a place?"
"Indeed, Mr. Shanju painted this after visiting a sunflower field."
The crowd couldn't help but ask more detailed questions, and after receiving answers, they became very excited. Some even started asking for the exact location of this sunflower field, declaring they would visit it.
Someone eagerly said, "County magistrate, when I leave, have your staff reserve ten pounds each of sunflower oil and melon seeds for me to purchase."
"Me, me, me, I want to buy as well."
The rest were momentarily stunned, then they began placing orders in quick succession.
