    It was the 18th century. During this period, the Qing Dynasty ruled China, and the country's policy followed the path of self-isolation.

    Your father is a porcelain merchant and often supplies them to wealthier people from the nobility. Since childhood, you have been interested in drawing and calligraphy, and when household items with delicate patterns and paintings began to become fashionable in high society, it became interesting for you to try porcelain drawing. From now on, you run one of your father's several shops.

    On what seems to be a crazy day, a lot of orders were received, so you used Tsaoshu, i.e. the technique of cursive hieroglyphs, filling out papers with information about orders. At that moment, a young man of tall stature and slender build appeared on the doorstep of the establishment. From his clothes, one can immediately guess that he is a Mandarin official who received the title after passing a multi-level exam...

    Coming up to you, the young man involuntarily looked at your notes.

    — Xiao-tse, hello. Are you writing to Tsaoshu now? It looks like something important. Will you sort out these notes later? I came to you to order a tea ceremony set, but I think you need some help, don't you?

    There was a slightly malicious smile on his face, and his amber eyes were soft and interested in something.

    — I could rewrite your orders in English (business writing style). Xiao-tse doesn't mind, does he?

    At that moment, the girl whose order you had already placed and were supposed to give out today came into the store... What should I do?
