Chapter 45 Failure of Sublease
Finally made the shoes, although there were some flaws in the first time, but on the whole, Shen Lingxiu was still very satisfied, and Lin Ziwen was too, looking at Shen Lingxiu with a touched face, he was reluctant to wear the shoes, so Shen Lingxiu forced him to put on new shoes.
It rained for three days, and finally cleared on the fourth day, Shen Lingxiu went out to breathe the fresh air after the rain, although the ground was a little muddy after the rain, but this could not stop Shen Lingxiu from going out to set up a stall.
She packed her things and went out, Chi Huifang followed her, she didn't mind, after all, Chi Huifang was also going to see the store.
However, this is not the case, Chi Huifang asked a lot of customers, and they all bluntly said that her noodles were too unpalatable, and they were really far worse than Shen Lingxiu. She was unconvinced, but there was nothing she could do.
Is there any way to learn Shen Lingxiu's craftsmanship secretly, she thought about it at home for many days, and finally came up with this solution, that is, to follow Shen Lingxiu with a dead face.
Shen Lingxiu cleaned the stall, and then was about to start making noodles, Chi Huifang suddenly appeared, she looked up, and thought that Chi Huifang had gone to the wrong place.
"Sister-in-law, you're wrong, your storefront is there!"
Shen Lingxiu stretched out her hand to Chi Huifang very warmly and pointed out the direction.
"Brother and sister! I'm here to help you! Chi Huifang opened her mouth with a smile, her eyes looked at Shen Lingxiu's hand, staring at the bone broth and ingredients she had prepared, and she looked very interested.
Shen Lingxiu knew what Chi Huifang had in mind, so she remained silent.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for you, brush these bowls." Shen Lingxiu stood in front of the soup and pointed to a pile of bowls on the side and spoke.
Chi Huifang was very unhappy, but for her purpose, she decided to endure it.
After brushing for a while, Chi Huifang wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.
"It's done." When she was finally free, she walked in front of the bone broth with bad intentions, and asked while Shen Lingxiu was making noodles.
"Brother and sister, how do you make this bone broth?" Chi Huifang asked.
"Isn't it fragrant?" Shen Lingxiu pretended to be mysterious, even mischievous, which made Chi Huifang feel that their relationship had the illusion of easing.
"Yes, yes, it's fragrant, what do you tell your sister-in-law to do?" Chi Huifang pushed the boat down the river.
"This," Shen Lingxiu deliberately sold Guanzi, Chi Huifang leaned over her ears in surprise and listened carefully, worried about missing a word.
"It's a secret!"
Chi Huifang was annoyed and angry, she didn't expect to get such a response, she was stunned in place, her face was a little blue.
"Sister-in-law, wipe the table again." Shen Lingxiu looked at her face and added another fire.
Chi Huifang is reluctant now, she doesn't tell her the formula, and she still wants to call her? She has been working here for a long time, tired and tired, and she has not gained any gain!
"Shen Lingxiu, why are you so insidious! You! I'm! Chi Huifang pointed at Shen Lingxiu and scolded, jumping to her feet angrily, and went home to rest before she could close the stall.
Shen Lingxiu looked at her back and couldn't hold back a smile, she was really naïve, could she give her the formula? At first glance, she didn't have a good heart, so she wasn't so stupid and sweet.
"Sister-in-law, don't go! After a full day's work, I will pay you a salary, one copper plate a day! ”
Chi Huifang was even more angry when she heard this, and she kicked her angrily, causing the people next to her to laugh.
Shen Lingxiu can be regarded as avenging the revenge of a copper plate for two days.
The weather is clear, and although the road is not easy to walk, people who have been trapped at home for several days in the rain want to take advantage of the good weather to come out and walk, and there are even many more people on the streets than before.
Shen Lingxiu's cornmeal sells very well, it is very prosperous, it is full, even though she is very busy, but she is very happy, the sense of fulfillment of busyness, and the sense of accomplishment that others like to eat their own noodles, of course, the most important thing is a small amount of money.
If it goes on like this, her reputation will come out, the most important thing is influence, she has been opening the store for a long time, she deliberately did some research and found that many people know about her noodle stall.
She was very happy, and at the same time had the idea of expanding the store, after all, with her own handiwork, she could only make dozens of bowls a day when she was tired, and she only earned dozens of copper coins.
And what about mechanized production!
She had an idea, as a person in the 21st century, how could she learn and apply modern life skills!
How about an automatic noodle machine?
She was so excited about her idea that she couldn't wait to draw a drawing, and she seemed to have seen a similar design on Weibo before.
Shen Lingxiu, who went home from the stall, brought Lin Ziwen's pen and ink in a decent way, prepared to draw drawings, and wasted a lot of effort to draw a simple model.
Lin Ziwen came back, and when he saw Shen Lingxiu writing, he couldn't help but watch quietly.
Seeing her frown and ponder for a while, drawing and writing like a book for a while, it took a long time to stretch her brows, exhale deeply, and then stand up and relax her stiff shoulders.
When he turned around, he suddenly saw Lin Ziwen standing not far behind him, and he was very surprised, and at this time, Lin Ziwen also came over and spoke.
"What to write?"
"Draw a drawing." Shen Lingxiu opened her mouth to answer, and then turned around to make room for Lin Ziwen to see the drawings on the table.
Lin Ziwen leaned over, he looked at it for a while, but he didn't understand what was drawn, and he opened his mouth in question.
"What is this?"
"I know you can't read it, this is my design draft." Shen Lingxiu joked, how could Lin Ziwen understand?
After a lot of effort, the painting was finally finished. Shen Lingxiu looked at her work and was very satisfied, she roughly restored the machine, and had to admire her memory.
The next step is to think about how to do it, and if you ask a craftsman, you can make it yourself, and the most important thing is the raw materials.
"How do you buy ironware here?" Shen Lingxiu asked.
"Iron?" Lin Ziwen was very surprised.
"Is it expensive?" Shen Lingxiu asked.
"Probably a few taels of silver!" Lin Ziwen spoke. This sentence surprised Shen Lingxiu very much, iron is also so expensive?
She forgot that the ancient iron-smelting technology was not very mature, and scarcity was expensive, of course, it was expensive, so it was estimated that a lot of iron would be used to make a machine in this way, and it would not be possible to get it without dozens of taels of silver.
In that case, it would not be appropriate, she shook her head and denied her opinion.
Crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it aside, and now she does not have the ability to make a machine worth dozens of taels.
Some loss, just now I was still in high spirits and suddenly frustrated, and the gap is a little big.
Lin Ziwen didn't know why, and saw Shen Lingxiu's bitter face.
Chi Huifang didn't get a cheap deal from Shen Lingxiu, she was very angry, and she was unwilling to let her business go cold like this.
This store is the money she has saved in the past few years, and she still owes other people's store rent, she thought that the business would not be bad, and she would definitely make money, but she didn't expect that people were not as good as the sky, and she was very anxious when she saw that there was no one in the store.
You can't just lose your money like this, seeing that Shen Lingxiu is in stark contrast to her, she is even more unhappy.
She remembered that it seemed that Shen Lingxiu was selling cornmeal, so there was a price war, and she also bought a batch of corn, and then grinded it and prepared to make cornmeal, and now she was eight points sure that she would succeed.
After tossing for an afternoon, she finally made cornmeal, and she decided to open tomorrow, catching Shen Lingxiu off guard.
The cornmeal launched by Chi Huifang is cheaper than Shen Lingxiu's, so it attracts a lot of customers, but after tasting it, almost no one comes, the reason is very simple, that is, it is too unpalatable.
Chi Huifang deliberately asked people to buy Shen Lingxiu's noodles and then pack them away, bring them back and taste them, and compared with herself, the difference came out, not only because of the bone broth, but also because the gluten of the noodles is also very different, there is no way to compare at all.
She was very annoyed and threw the noodles in her hand to the ground, what's the matter, why can't she make noodles like Shen Lingxiu!
What can I do like this? She walked back and forth in the shop, very anxious, and her brow tightly wrinkled.
Seeing that it was time to pay the rent as agreed, his store was still deserted, and he had already said that he would make up the rest when she turned over in ten days.
Sure enough, a sharp-tongued aunt came over with a handkerchief, and Chi Huifang was just about to slip away when she was stopped by shouting.
"Hey, boss, I'm looking for you!"
Chi Huifang's face was helpless, so she could only pretend to be smiling and say hello.
"Yo, landlord! There you are! Sit down, sit down! She poured a glass of water and handed it politely.
"Boss Chi, I said, your business here doesn't look very good!" She looked up and down and spoke.
Chi Huifang, whose scars were revealed, had an ugly face.
"I don't care if your business is good or not, I'm here to collect rent anyway." The man stretched out his hand to Chi Huifang and spoke.
When she rented it to her, she said that it was okay, at that time, Chi Huifang's money was not enough, only enough to pay some deposits, how could there be a money store, but in order to fight with Shen Lingxiu, she still gritted her teeth and rented it, she thought that if the business was good, the rent would not be earned back in a day or two, but she didn't expect that she would end up in such a predicament.
"Look, you can be tolerant for a few more days, you have also seen my situation here, so let me scrape together the money first!" Chi Huifang said good things.
"No, I've never owed money." The man spoke, looking non-negotiable.
"Look, I can't take it out now!" Chi Huifang's face was helpless.
The man looked at it carefully, and found that this was indeed the case, and he was even more uneasy.
"Depending on your condition, how many days will you be able to pay the money?" Chi Huifang found out that she had dug a hole for herself, and she didn't have time to regret it, so she opened her mouth in a hurry.
"I, that particularly hot noodle stall on the street belongs to my brother and sister, I'll find a way!" I could only move out of Shen Lingxiu, but I didn't expect it to be really useful.
