Chapter 144: Experience the pleasure of lying down and counting money
The next morning, Lin Xiaoman followed him out.
When Aunt Li saw Xiaoman, she looked at the bamboo basket hanging around her waist with a smile and knew that Xiaoman was going to the town to discuss business.
After the Lin family members left, Aunt Li brought out a wooden bench and started embroidering.
Watching Miaomiao and Guyu playing at the door.
Since the Lin family moved in, Erli has made a lot of money with the Lin family, and Miaomiao, who was originally skinny, has gained a lot of weight.
Miaomiao and Guyu were two little kids last year with sparse and yellow hair and sunken and yellow faces. Now they have grown into fair and tender little girls.
As she watched, Aunt Li felt a sense of sadness in her eyes.
Dali is such a good child. She shouldn't have let Dali learn hunting from the head of the family. In this way, Miaomiao would not have become an orphan.
"Grandma, Guyu and I picked up duck eggs."
Miaomiao looked at her grandmother with wet eyes. She knew that her grandmother was thinking about her father and grandfather again.
"Grandma, I miss Daddy and Grandpa, too."
"No, go put the duck eggs away, kid, don't let your imagination run wild." Aunt Li forced a smile. Her granddaughter had never seen her father since she was born. How pitiful.
She shouldn't act like this in front of the children. Miaomiao is still young and Erli hasn't married yet. She should cheer up. In the future she will have to take care of Erli's children and see Miaomiao get married.
“Go ahead, put the duck eggs down and go play with Guyu.
Miaomiao pouted and walked away, whispering to Lin Guyu: "Guyu, my grandma must be missing my dad. Guyu, I haven't even seen what my dad looks like!"
Seeing her best friend feeling sad, Lin Guyu didn’t know how to comfort her.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of Brother Erli, so he said, "Miaomiao, your father must look similar to Brother Erli. If you miss your father, just look at your uncle more often."
-
Ruyi Restaurant.
As soon as the lid of the wooden pot of slow-cooked preserved egg and lean meat porridge is opened, the aroma fills the air.
Lin Xiaoman served a bowl to Shopkeeper Tong.
Shopkeeper Tong looked at the black lumps in the porridge that Lin Xiaoman called preserved eggs, and scooped a mouthful of the porridge doubtfully.
It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover, and this food cannot be defined by its appearance.
Lin Xiaoman peeled a Songhua egg at the right time and added: "Uncle Tong, look at this Songhua egg. It has a shiny surface and beautiful patterns like pine branches. The patterns on each Songhua egg are different. The pine tree symbolizes health and longevity, and the patterns on the surface of the Songhua egg are like pine branches, which also have extraordinary meanings."
Shopkeeper Tong seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians suddenly opened up in his head.
Lin Jia Xiaoman, a girl from a young age, is so bold.
But she had a point.
He had never seen this kind of egg, let alone a Songhua egg with pine branch patterns.
So to say......
Shopkeeper Tong was startled. The Lin family was looking for them to cooperate again.
He knew that the little girl from the Lin family was a shrewd person. She would not come to see him for no reason, so she must have important business when she came.
In this case, Shopkeeper Tong did not dare to delay, but unfortunately the young master had gone to the neighboring county for the past few days and could not know about the preserved eggs in the first place.
Even so, he still asked someone to send two preserved eggs and a letter to the young master as quickly as possible.
"Miss Xiaoman, to be honest, this preserved egg and lean meat porridge is delicious. How do you think we should cooperate this time?"
Lin Xiaoman said confidently, "Don't worry, don't worry. Preserved eggs are not easy to make. We only have about a hundred of them at home. Besides, it takes ten days to half a month, or even longer, to make duck eggs into preserved eggs."
"In that case, let's wait until the young master comes back from outside to discuss the cooperation." Shopkeeper Tong didn't expect that a small preserved egg would take half a month to make.
"So, Miss Xiaoman, how are you going to sell the preserved eggs?"
Shopkeeper Tong was still unwilling to give up. He took the preserved egg into his mouth and the taste was endless.
Besides, he also wanted to try it at Ruyi Restaurant to see what the regular customers thought of the preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
Lin Xiaoman naturally agreed, as she made the preserved eggs to sell.
"Uncle Tong, we've known each other for such a long time, so I can't ask for more from you. Three cents each."
Shopkeeper Tong felt a sharp pain in his heart. Duck eggs cost two for one cent, while Lin girl sold one preserved egg for three cents.
However, things are valuable because they are rare. Who can blame duck eggs for turning into preserved eggs?
It takes some skill, and not everyone can do it.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaoman sold the preserved eggs at home to Ruyi Restaurant for three cents each, and agreed that Lin Dajiang would deliver them the next day.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaoman thought about collecting duck eggs in several nearby villages first.
After dinner that evening, Lin Xiaoman told Lin Dajiang about collecting duck eggs. Lin Dajiang thought Xiaoman was capable. Duck eggs cost two for a penny anyway, and Xiaoman would probably only collect one or two hundred.
Li Taohua was used to being cautious, and collecting duck eggs meant paying money.
I heard from Manager Tong that the young master will not be back for more than ten days. If the cooperation is not concluded in the end, it will be a waste.
"Xiaoman, why don't you collect less first?" Li Taohua said.
"Mom, how much do you want to charge?" Lin Xiaoman was not in a hurry. One cannot be impatient when doing business. One has to proceed steadily.
Besides, with the family’s current income, we don’t have to worry about food and clothing.
The villagers only knew that the Lin family made money by selling breakfast at Ruyi Restaurant, but no one knew about the Lin'an tabloid made by the twins.
Even Li Erli's family, who lived next door and had a very good relationship with him, never revealed a single thing.
Li Taohua thought for a while and said, "Let's just take five or six hundred, Xiaoman, let's be cautious."
Lin Dajiang was surprised. Taohua sold five or six hundred pieces at a time. He thought Xiaoman would only buy one or two hundred.
Lin Dajiang stopped talking for a moment.
Lin Xiaoman nodded. Not many families raised livestock these days.
It would probably be difficult to collect five or six hundred duck eggs.
"Mom, isn't my brother planning to build a rabbit hive and a house? I think we should just buy a bigger piece of land and build a chicken coop and duck coop. Then we won't have to go out to buy preserved eggs in the future." After Lin Xiaoman finished speaking, he winked at Lin Jingzhe.
What I mean is, I'm done, you continue.
Lin Jingzhe understood instantly.
"Mom, Xiaoman's idea is great. Let's buy the land at the foot of the mountain and then fence it off. We can let the chickens and ducks out during the day to eat the insects themselves, which can save a lot of food."
After Lin Jingzhe finished speaking, modern free-range chickens instantly popped up in Lin Xiaoman’s mind.
Seeing that his parents were somewhat relenting, Lin Xiaoman continued to add fuel to the fire, "Then we can sell the chickens and ducks to the restaurant. If there are any leftovers, we can make them into marinated chicken and duck, and sell them as well."
this......
Li Taohua was stunned.
Raising rabbits is not enough. From what the two children said, they also want to raise chickens and ducks, and a considerable number?
She immediately looked at the boss, only to see that there was no surprise on his face.
"You...can you take care of so many? Jingzhe, don't you still have to study with Ci'an? Xiaoman, you are a girl. It's hard to raise chickens and ducks. You will be exposed to the wind and sun."
Lin Xiaoman doesn't plan to raise it herself.
She makes money not for her own suffering, but to experience the pleasure of lying down and counting money.
