Chapter 4 Money-making gadgets
Lin Mo was a little overwhelmed with the vegetable basket, and then had to continue to look for a place to buy shoes, Lin Mo walked to a stall that sold shoes, there was no way, the shoe store with a shop must be expensive, and now there is no money to buy some poor workmanship at the stall.
The shoe stall was full of all kinds of shoes, Lin Mo chose a pair and chose it, and asked for a penny, Lin Mo thought about it and asked the boss, can you get a discount if you buy more?
The old thing looks at the aftermath after the fact, and after the fact, after the fact, it gets up, and after the fact, it knows what it is. So I asked, can it be cheaper? The boss was unhappy at first, and finally agreed to sell 4 pairs for 8 yuan a pair.
Lin Mo took the shoes he had bought, walked back, and happened to pass by the vegetable market, shouting and selling after the incident, and the cries of the cattle continued, but looking at the less than five dollars of silver in his mouth, he could only shake his head and give up the idea of buying some meat. At this time, a pile of chicken feathers on the ground caught Lin Mai's attention, "Chicken feathers? ”
Looking at the copper coins in his pocket, there was suddenly a way to make money brewing in Lin Mo's mind, Lin Mo hurriedly found a rag, picked up the chicken feathers on the ground and wrapped them, and left.
After arriving home, Lin Mo put the basket and shoes on the table, and immediately set up the chicken feathers, copper coins and rags, and began to get busy.
After a while, a small object appeared in Lin Mo's hand, if this thing was known to be a shuttlecock in his previous life, this is an entertainment project suitable for all ages, no one has invented this thing in this life, just try to see if you can use this to make money.
Lin Mo tried it himself, kicked it up, and felt pretty good. So Lin Mo hurriedly continued to do it.
When Lin Mo finished stretching his waist and legs, which were already a little numb, he looked out the window, it was almost dark, and he hadn't eaten yet, but looking at the dozens of shuttlecocks on the ground, Lin Mo smiled with satisfaction, whether he could make money or not depended on this inconspicuous pile of shuttlecocks.
Lin Mo rummaged through the cabinets and found no lighting appliances such as candles, lighters or other things that ignited the fire, so Lin Mo could only endure hunger and could only sleep.
Early the next morning, Lin Mo was awakened by a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Liu Xin'er.
"Xin'er, why are you here so early?"
"I'll give you clothes, I bought a lot of fabrics, I made two for you and one for Grandpa Li, can you see if it's appropriate?"
As he spoke, he handed the clothes in his arms to Lin Mo, Lin Mo put on the clothes and tried them on, feeling very good, and praised: "Xin'er, you are really ingenious, you can make three clothes in such a short time, and they fit so well." ”
"Of course, I have been a female worker since I was a child, and I made my father's and mother's clothes, and even the second lady's clothes were also made by me, and the workmanship was no worse than that of the tailor in the house."
Saying that, Liu Xin'er proudly straightened her little chest.
Lin Mo looked at the tiredness revealed in the corners of her eyes, and at a glance, she knew that this girl hadn't slept all night last night, made clothes overnight, and came over early in the morning.
Lin Mo was moved and distressed. At this time, Liu Xin'er was very curious when she saw a bunch of strange things tied with chicken feathers on the table, and asked Lin Mo what it was.
"This is called shuttlecock, and it's a gadget I wanted to make on a whim yesterday, it's very fun."
Then I also demonstrated how to play. Liu Xin'er's eyes immediately lit up, and she was eager to try, Lin Mo gave one to her, and the little girl immediately tried it, she was a little rusty at first, and she was able to pad it up after a while.
Lin Mo watched her have such a good time as the first user, and had a rough grasp of the market.
Liu Xin'er played for a while and suddenly thought of something, carefully received the shuttlecock into her arms, and then took out a satchel made of cloth from her waist.
Send a Lin Mo, saying that it is made of leftover fabric, and use it to load things for Lin Mo. Lin Mo took the cloth bag and said, "Xin'er, you are really powerful, if anyone marries you in the future, it will be really happy." ”
Xin'er's face immediately turned red when she heard this, "
Brother Mo don't laugh, Xin'er didn't think about getting married, by the way, Brother Mo is going to the market to sell these shuttlecocks Just so let's go together, come to my house for a meal at noon, my father wants to thank you. ”
Lin Mo wanted to refuse, but he couldn't stand the little girl's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he could only agree.
Lin Mo cleaned up, put on new clothes and shoes, put the shuttlecock in a cloth bag, and the two set off to the town together. When passing by the broken temple, Lin Mo asked Liu Xin'er what kind of temple this was.
Liu Xin'er looked at it and said: "This temple is said to be a temple dedicated to a founding general, and our town is called General Town, which is also how it came, and then somehow the temple was destroyed, and people did not come to worship, so it was abandoned." ”
Lin Mo nodded and didn't ask anything more.
When the two came to the town, Lin Mo was thinking about how to open up the market, Liu Xin'er suddenly took out a shuttlecock and called a few children from the side of the road to play together.
Passers-by felt very strange and stopped to look, Lin Mo looked at it, immediately understood, and quickly took out the shuttlecock and began to sell, 5 asked for money.
At first, everyone thought it was expensive and didn't buy it, but then a young guy said
"It's only five cents, it's not bad to buy it and go home to play with the children, and this thing originally had a penny, and it won't be a loss to buy it for four cents, little brother, I'll buy two."
Saying that, he took out a penny of silver and bought two, someone took the lead, and others looked at it and naturally moved, first one bought and then two and then more and more.
After a while, Lin Mo bought all the more than forty shuttlecocks he made, and he made a net profit of one or two or eight dollars after removing the cost. Lin Mo looked at the silver in his hand and laughed happily.
Liu Xin'er looked at Lin Mo and said happily: "Brother Mo is really amazing, he bought it so quickly and earned so much money." ”
"Then thank you Xin'er, you have a good advertisement, otherwise you wouldn't have bought it so well."
"Advertising? What's that?"
Lin Mo suddenly remembered that there was no such concept in ancient times, so he explained
"Advertising is the meaning of publicity, and you just kicked the shuttlecock to play the role of publicity, and the shuttlecock was promoted, so it sold so well. This time it's thanks to you, Xin'er. ”
Hearing Lin Mo's praise, Xin'er smiled shyly,
"I just want to help Brother Mo, the second lady also said before that everyone would come to buy the object if she wanted to publicize it, I came up with this method, I didn't expect it to work, now that I've bought it, Brother Mo, let's go home together, my father and my mother should be ready to cook, hurry up and go over to eat."
Lin Mo followed Liu Xin'er to her house.
Just as the two were talking and laughing, a discordant voice came.
"Yo, isn't this Liu Damei? Why do you have time to go out for a walk today, do you want to have a good time with the beauty, uncle? ”
When the two of them heard this, they immediately stopped, followed the prestige, and saw a thin man, with roe deer's head and rat eyes, and a pockmarked face standing behind the two, the man was gorgeously dressed, and he was holding a cigarette stick in his left hand.
"Brother Mo is Zhang Mazi, a ruffian, let's ignore him and leave quickly."
Lin Mo saw that it was this guy who beat him, but now he still tries to make as little trouble as possible, and it is better to be an ordinary person.
Lin Mo pulled Liu Xin'er and turned around to leave, Zhang Mazi was not happy when he saw that Lin Mo and Liu Xin'er were so close, and immediately ran to Lin Mo to block the way of the two, and then looked at Lin Mo with those mouse eyes, and then said:
"Who shall I be? It turned out to be a big hero, why did the big hero's injury heal so quickly, and he can walk around? Liu Meiren, your vision is too bad, don't let me, a son-in-law who looks better than Pan An, find such a waste, I feel sorry for you. ”
After that, he took a puff of cigarette and spit towards Lin Mo.
"Zhang Mazi, don't go too far, I haven't settled accounts with you last time you beat Brother Mo on the street, this time you dare to take the initiative to come to the door, if you don't leave, I will report to the official."
Liu Xin'er immediately shot back. Zhang Mazi ignored Liu Xin'er and looked at Lin Mo with disdain
"You're new in this dress? But the fabric is too inferior, and my dog is panicked when I wear it. You might as well wear this outfit as well as a kit of dog skin. ”
After speaking, he spat on the ground with dark yellow thick phlegm.
Lin Mo didn't want to cause trouble, but he was forced to do this, and everyone around him was watching, if he coaxed him, he would really have no face to see people.
Lin Mo looked at Zhang Mazi and said with a smile:
"You're so right, your clothes are made of the best material, and your dog must be comfortable to wear. I'm a dog skin at most, you call it human skin, and it's really amazing that a dog wears a human skin. With that, he pulled Liu Xin'er and walked away.
The onlookers laughed, Zhang Mazi thought that Lin was cowardly at first, flattering himself, and only came back after a while, Lin Mo was scolding him for being a dog.
Zhang Mazi immediately became angry, chasing the two and was about to make a move, when I didn't know who shouted
"Butcher Liu is here!".
Zhang Mazi's feet were weak in one day, so he quickly ran away, and Liu Butcher's prestige was known to him, and he really couldn't afford to provoke him.
Zhang Mazi shouted while running:
"Boy, you are lucky this time, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and I will definitely let you watch it next time."
After saying that, he ran away and disappeared.
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, and Liu Xin'er also reacted, giggling, laughing and saying Brother Mo, you are so bad, scolding people and beating around the bush.
