Chapter 87
Lin Baoru didn't want to ascend to the sky in one step, after all, she knew that if she really wanted to start from scratch, there must be a process of accumulation. Although she is earning money now, in the final analysis, it is only making the family's life a little more relaxed.
But she didn't want to keep making such a fuss.
Putting aside the soap beans that are booming today, what she wants to do is whether the soap beans or handmade soap made by herself will be imitated to make new styles in the future. As long as people hear soap beans, the first thing that comes to mind is the Lin family in Taoxi Village.
Just like many daily chemical brands in the previous life, even if they have declined, as long as someone mentions it, they will remember that it made a fortune with soap shampoo and the like. Even though its market has been eaten up by various new brands, it still has a place no matter where it is.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "As long as it doesn't make Brother Li lose money." After a pause, she continued to speak, "In the past few days, I want to change the recipe again, add a few more fragrant pancreas, and then I will have to bother Brother Li to help sell it." β
Li Shanglang has tasted the sweetness now, and since he started selling goods, he knows that no matter where he goes to sell goods, the best money to earn is the money of women and children.
If the daughter of the Lin family can really make better soap beans, or add a few rare things, then he is still worried that he can't make money?
Li Lang was thinking quickly in his heart, he was full of thoughts, and he heard Lin Baoru's meaning in just a few words, this was to let him take the lead. So, he hurriedly responded, "That's good, as long as the girl doesn't forget about it." β
Next, he ordered twenty soap beans with Lin Baoru. Maybe he wanted to sell it to Lin Baoru and the Wang family, Li Shanglang happily took fifty yuan and made a fixed payment.
The two of them simply agreed on the time to pick up the goods, and without much greeting, they went their separate ways.
This Li Lang continued to sell with satisfaction, but he didn't tell Lin Baoru the truth just now. Although the soap beans made him earn an extra fifty yuan, but more importantly, because of the rare things, the women and children who came around also bought many things in his burden.
The small maltose and head ropes, and the large ones like hairpins and mirrors, have already been sold. What he sold in half a day is almost worth the amount sold in the two sets in the past.
The so-called people are in good spirits on happy occasions, he never thought that he would be able to encounter such a good thing after a trip to the door of the Zhao family's restaurant early today.
In fact, this thing didn't happen out of nowhere. If it weren't for his integrity, filial piety, and pure thoughts, I am afraid that Uncle Zhao and Aunt Mei would not have said good things for him.
And because he took great care of Grandpa Li, who had some relatives, he won the approval of the Wang family, which made Lin Baoru feel more at ease to cooperate with him.
The so-called everything has a cause, and his good and filial deeds are ahead, so he can naturally win the recognition and trust of others.
Lin Baoru handed the fifty yuan to the Wang family and asked her to collect it quickly. In front of the public, the Wang family is not easy to refuse, and she is also afraid of being stolen. Therefore, when she put it away, she looked aside very cautiously.
Although the Wang family is soft-natured, he also knows the truth that all property cannot be put together. Naturally, her fifty copper plates were put into her sleeve pockets.
Lin Baoru couldn't help but feel funny when she saw her movements becoming more and more natural, so she leaned on Wang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Mother, when you collect money today, your posture is very calm." As she spoke, she nodded thoughtfully, "Well, there is the style of the lady in charge of the house mentioned in the play." β
What is not fan, Wang didn't understand, but she could also hear the smile in her daughter's words.
Wang glanced at her with disgust and said, "Even if my mother's eyes are dead, I know when to put up a faΓ§ade for you." If people can see that my mother's eyes are shining because of those copper coins, won't people look down on them? β
The two laughed and walked forward for a while, and then Lin Baoru remembered that cooking at home is not short of oil and salt. But all kinds of seasonings and sugar, there is no one at home.
So, she took advantage of Wang's generosity today, and discussed to buy some peppercorns together, and weighed a pound of sugar.
When waiting for the stall owner to give a scale, Lin Baoru looked at an oil drum on the side of the stall, the oil in the bucket had not condensed in the winter, and it was obviously not the lard that was often eaten at home.
Her heart moved, and she hurriedly asked, "Uncle, do you have sesame oil in this bucket?" Why do you smell it, there is no sesame fragrance? β
Seeing that she was curious, the stall owner couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Hey, don't mention it, this is what kind of rapeseed oil was sent by the child's uncle, and it is said to be very delicious." But who of us recognizes this? I've been buying this for a winter, and no one wants it, but now that the weather is going to be warm, I'm still worried. β
It's not that no one recognizes this oil, it's really that this oil stir-fry is really not as good as lard. Even in restaurants, they don't want to accept it. Naturally, the thing fell into the hand.
When Lin Baoru heard this, she was overjoyed, she didn't expect to catch a set and meet good things. She doesn't know anything else, but rapeseed oil is mixed with cold vegetables and fried chili oil, which is very fragrant.
"I don't know how Uncle sells this oil?"
The stall owner looked at the girl who had just asked for a lot of things, and was actually interested in the rapeseed oil that he had been worried about for a long time, and he didn't complain, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "You see this oil is very clean, there is no sundries, if the girl wants it, it will be ten cents a catty?" β
The lard on the set is cheap and more than a dozen dollars a catty, so in comparison, the price of rapeseed oil is not high.
However, the so-called sky-high asking price, sitting on the ground to pay back, even if Lin Baoru can accept this price in her heart, but since she wants to sell it, she has to pay back some price. After all, now is not the time for her to be generous.
"Uncle, it's cheaper, if you have eight cents, I'll pay five catties, and buy an oil urn from your stall by the way." Lin Baoru said with a smile, "What are we missing in the future, come a few more times, and there will be one, and the uncle will pull a repeat customer at that time?" β
The stall owner is naturally happy in his heart, and the rapeseed oil has not been reduced for a long time, and it is also a loss of money if it is put away. It's good to be able to sell a little bit now.
He responded with a smile, and then helped Lin Baoru pick a suitable oil urn to oil.
At the end of the checkout, the stall owner saw that the two of them were happy to buy things, and happily gave them an extra handful of dried chili peppers.
This dried chili pepper is planted on the head of the vegetable garden at home, and the cost is nothing, so anyone who sells materials will often take a handful or two to sell favors in order to pull an old customer.
As soon as the two of them packed up their things and were about to push the cart full of carts to the outside of the town, Wang suddenly exclaimed.
Then, Lin Baoru looked at the shadow that hit the Wang family fiercely, without pausing at all, just holding her head and continuing to rush forward.
She subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and reached out to touch Wang's sleeve pocket, and sure enough, it was empty. As for the entire fifty copper coins that were just put in, there was not a cent left.
Lin Baoru was not one of those weak women who were powerless in her previous life, after discovering that the copper plate in her mother's sleeve pocket was stolen, she didn't think about it at all, and threw the basket on her arm fiercely just by instinct.
A few cabbages in the basket smashed on the man's back, and then fell to the ground crackling and rolled, just as the man stepped on it and fell hard to eat. Naturally, a string of copper coins in the man's hand also flew out.
Lin Baoru didn't care about saying a few words to the Wang family, and hurriedly trotted to pick up the copper plate. looked at the person who was crawling up from the ground with a menacing attitude, and said coldly: "There are still shameless bedbugs like you in the vast court!" The people in our Liulin Town are all simple and kind, but there are no people like you who steal chickens and dogs! β
Xu found the money back, and a heart fell into his stomach, and Lin Baoru, who had no scruples just now, was worried in his heart. In her previous life, she had also heard that most of the pickpockets and thieves who rampaged in the market were committed by gangs.
Even if you are caught stealing, there is probably someone who will answer you.
But no matter how uneasy she was in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. She saw that there were people around her, and she didn't care whether there were accomplices of the person who stole the money, so she just crossed her waist and made a full momentum, and took the lead to grab the people: "We have more than a dozen villages in front and behind Liulin Town, if you want to let your bed bug bad the atmosphere, it will be a joke if it spreads." There are so many outsiders who rush to the market and set up stalls left and right, so you can smear the faces of the people in our town? β
"A few days ago, when I went to Houya, I heard my eldest brother praise the eldest man of our county for being the most fair and honest, and there was no one who stole chickens and dogs under his rule. Now I'm going to see where the hair comes from. The thief actually stole the woman's hard-earned money! β
The thief boy who was smashed on the ground grinning and hurting all over his body was about to jump up and have a tough fight with Lin Baoru, but he was trembling by her momentum.
He secretly looked at Lin Baoru's dress, and looked at the appearance and bearing, it really seemed that he had no scruples. Isn't it really what it has to do with the big man?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but hesitate. Even the accomplices who were mixed in the crowd hesitated, and even if they didn't dare to come up, they helped the man accuse Lin Baoru of beating people for no reason.
In fact, Lin Baoru's words were also deliberately specious. She did go to the back of the Yamen, and at that time, she was surrounding the name of the title deed of the two acres of land in the west of the village, and she followed Li Zheng to find a copy of the document to the Hou Yamen.
As for what the eldest brother said, if they don't say it, who can know if it's true or not?
The thief who jumped on the ground didn't expect to run into a hard stubble this time, but listening to the meaning of her words, he actually had something to do with the people in the yamen. And her eldest brother's words, aren't they properly like the words of an errand man?
Thinking of this, the man didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to admit his mistake in a gloomy manner.
