While the two were talking, they saw a middle-aged man in satin clothes coming over, and he looked at the firewood in front of Lin Mancang. When he saw that the bundles of firewood were sturdy and full of big branches, he was very satisfied, so he asked, "How can this firewood be sold?" ”

As early as when setting up the stall, Lin Baoru found that his own firewood was larger than the bundles of others, and there were few branches, and they were all dried, so he grabbed before Lin Mancang and said: "Uncle, this firewood is the dry firewood that we have dried, and you can see that the big branches are all solid, and there is no broken firewood." If you buy it back, you can keep it for several days. ”

"I look at you with bright eyes, and I must not have sand in my eyes, so I fell in love with my firewood at a glance."

"In this way, if you think it is appropriate, you will give six cents. It is also an auspicious omen of the sixth and sixth Shun at the bottom of the year. As she spoke, she wanted to clean up the firewood for the man, "Look at how much you want, if you want more, let my eldest brother send it to your door!" ”

The steward put on a top hat when she came up, and was coaxed by her compliments in and out of her words to be very proud. In addition, the firewood he touched under his hand was indeed much more sincere than that of others, and if it was calculated, six cents would not be expensive.

"Then let's come with three bundles first, there are many uses in the restaurant these days, if they are used well, I have to buy them again."

When Lin Baoru heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Then dare to be kind, if the old uncle wants to buy firewood after the new year, then go directly to my house." When the time comes, my mother and my eldest brother will bundle a few bundles of big ones for my uncle, and it will be cost-effective for you to keep them. ”

When Wang saw that his daughter said a few words, he actually sold a bundle of firewood for two or three more yuan, and naturally his face was happy. She was also afraid that people would regret it, so she hurriedly beckoned her son to load the firewood into the wheelbarrow.

While waiting, Lin Baoru talked to the steward again, "Uncle, do you want to stop looking at my soap beans." This laundry wash is much better than honey locusts. ”

As she spoke, she turned around and called Caihe a few over, took her sister's hand and said, "If the uncle doesn't believe it, just look at my sister's and brother's hands. But now they wash with soap and beans every day, but their hands are much whiter and tenderer. ”

"This is also a rare object outside, if I don't have a coincidence, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it." Lin Baoru said as she handed over the soap beans, "You look at the pattern and festive, whether it is for the old aunt at home or as a gift, it is all iron and iron." ”

This soap bean is a rare item. Even if he is used to seeing good things, he can't help but take a few more looks.

"It's nothing special to look at, it's really as good as you say?" The steward was visibly suspicious.

Lin Baoru thought about it in her heart, looked at her clothes, but didn't see any oily stains. She sighed and said, "It's a pity that the clothes we washed are all clean today, otherwise uncle, you can try to wash your hands in the basin by yourself?" ”

As she spoke, she beckoned Cairu to go to the house behind to ask for half a basin of water.

But before Cairu left with the basin, the aunt who sold the baked cakes on the side scooped a large scoop of warm water, "Hey, I have water here, let's make food, no matter where you go to set up a stall, you can't do without water." ”

As she spoke, she poured the water into the wooden basin that Cairu had brought her.

The steward who came to buy was a big man himself, and he wanted to wash his hands in front of people, but it was not in the way, so he didn't shirk. Although he is in charge, how can the people who work in the restaurant not get wet on their hands when they work on weekdays? In the partial winter, the weather is dry and cold, blowing back and forth a few times, and the back of the hand is dry and uncomfortable.

He mixed warm water and scrubbed the so-called soap beans in his hand a few times, and he didn't think it was very good, but after rubbing it into the water a few times, the back of his hand felt warm. The annoying dry cracks before, now I don't touch them anymore.

"Hey, this little thing works so well?" The steward's eyes lit up and down, looking up and down at the back of his hand.

Lin Baoru looked at the other party's heart, and was relieved. She smiled: "Seeing that my uncle is in the business of a restaurant, I'm afraid that the business is very good at this time, and there are many wealthy families who come and go." If you like it, you can buy some and send them back to the old customers as favors. First, this soap bean is still the first one in our country. Second, if you have a woman and children at home, you can also take care of your hands and face with this. No matter how bad it is, if the clothes are stained with unwashable marks, you can wash them cleaner with this......"

As soon as she said this, the person in charge heard what she meant. But he is not annoyed, and most of the people who can run a restaurant in the town are also some visionary.

Nowadays, there are many large and small restaurants and restaurants in the town, and if you can borrow something to win the hearts of a few rich and noble families who often go to restaurants, then this business can be regarded as a sure profit.

He immediately laughed and said, "You little girl, you are really a good businessman. How many people don't know the truth that selling things is worth it first...... Okay, you say, how much does this soap bean cost? ”

Lin Baoru couldn't help but smile when she saw his intentions, "Uncle, you have to be sincere, even if I count you for five cents, it will be no more than a big meat bun." If I can get you some business, it's not too expensive! What do you say? ”

The person in charge listened to what she said auspiciously, and he was very happy in his heart, so he clapped his hands and asked Lin Baoru for half of the soap beans.

"It's just that this thing looks simple, and it's not easy to give away on a large surface, so I'll buy some and try it first." As he spoke, he didn't bargain, he directly took out sixty-eight dollars and handed it over.

With this experience, he attracted several women who bought with his mother-in-law.

Lin Baoru was originally just embarrassed to shout and sell, but now that it has opened, she is not so ashamed. So, when someone saw someone coming over, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Is this little thing really as good as you say?" Whenever someone is moved, they will ask like this first.

Lin Baoru said that her mouth was dry, but she was not impatient at all. Later, even Baoru and Wang had the courage to learn from her to explain.

"We are this thing, but any decent person is very rare. There was a rich uncle just now, and he was about to leave half of it in one go, you say, if it wasn't for the bad things, would people want to go so much? Lin Baoru didn't say whether people would buy it or not, so she would say the good things first.

Of course, if there is a woman who brings a child, she will also beckon someone to give the child a try.

Children who have been playing for a long time are not clean on their hands, and after washing with pig pancreatic soap, they can make a pair of small hands soft and slippery. So after a while, the soap beans she put out were sold out.

Before noon, Lin Baoru had already collected the basket and counted the entry with the Wang family at the base of the wall.

Although only four bundles of firewood were sold, the soap beans made from pig pancreas were sold for a hundred yuan. Calculated up, it is worth the money from the Wang family and Lin Mancang to sell firewood in the previous dozen or so sets.

"Sister-in-law, your daughter is amazing. I've been selling baked cakes in the West Market for so many years, but I've never seen anyone who can do business better than her. The aunt who sold the baked cakes was idle and talked to Wang with a smile, "Originally, I couldn't open my mouth when I saw her, and I wanted to help the foil shout twice." ”

She watched the Wang family sell out the thing, and she was happy for them. Naturally, the earnest words were also festive. They are all poor people, and they will not be jealous of each other.

With a smile on his face, Wang looked at his daughter, and his heart was very happy. In fact, she didn't expect her daughter to be able to sell that inconspicuous thing for a price. She thought that it would take a little effort to make that thing, and it wouldn't be worth much, and even if it really had to be sold, it wouldn't be much more than a pig's pancreas.

After all, the pig pancreas is sold to the pharmacy, and it is only one or two pennies for several hangings.

Who knows, his daughter only used a basin of water, and sold all the soap beans, and sold them for a hundred wen. I think that at the beginning, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law said every day that her daughter was a money-loser and a disaster, and with her, Lao Lin's family had a bad life.

But now look at it, my daughters have a lot of talents, come over together, which one doesn't boast that his Baoru is a good one? I didn't see the stewards of the rich people at that time, and they all smiled at Kua Baoru, what can they do!

Thinking so, she said that she would not accept the copper plate handed by Lin Baoru at all.

"You earn your own money, you keep it for yourself, and you buy whatever you want. My mother has no other skills, and she can't give you more. As he spoke, Wang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. But this time, she didn't feel sad anymore, let alone sad.

After all, it was outside, and seeing that the Wang family didn't accept the money, Lin Baoru didn't insist.

She watched the sun rise overhead, and thought about the two soap beans left in the basket. So after thinking about it for a while, she looked at the Wang family and said, "Mother, I see that there are still a few bundles of firewood, or you and the eldest brother will sell them first." I took a few Cairu and went to the market for a walk. ”

Wang listened to the girl going to the market, and was a little worried, after all, she still remembered what happened at the overpass last time. If her own daughter encounters that kind of thing again today, and no one rescues her, then she might as well be killed headlong.

"Why don't you go with you?"

Lin Baoru knew Wang's worries, and said with a smile: "How can you be so unlucky to go back?" Last time, I didn't carelessly talk about it, but this time I took Cairu to a few places with a lot of people, and I wasn't afraid of meeting that group of people. ”

She is easy to say, and she can be regarded as making sense of the Wang family. It's not that she doesn't want to go shopping with the Wang family, but she's really worried that her eldest brother will encounter something difficult when he sells firewood alone.
