Chen Xiaomi and others rushed to the market early and took a good position.
On weekdays, you have to pay a fee to occupy a seat in the market, but today's situation is quite special, whoever arrives first will get it.
There are already many people on the street, and many stalls have already opened up, some selling lamps, some wine, some selling candied haws, some selling bamboo baskets, some selling linen... all kinds of things, everything you expect.
Lu Lin threw a piece of cloth on the ground and put on three rows of gloves.
"This is a row of 300 characters per pair."
"This row is five hundred characters a pair."
"This row is two taels of silver per pair."
…
Chen Xiaocai looked at Lu Lin and said, "Two taels of silver!"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yes!"
Chen Xiaocai blinked and said, "How many rice can you buy with two taels of silver! You can sell that much for a pair of gloves." Three hundred Wen is also very expensive!
"This is fox fur. It's very rare." Chen Xiaomi caught the fox after winter. Some dignitaries in the town like to use fox fur to make fox fur capes. It's a pity that the fox that Chen Xiaomi caught fell into a trap beforehand, and its skin was a little torn, so Lu Lin asked Grandma Shen to make fox fur gloves.
"Xiaocai, Maimai, you should work harder when you shout! If there are too many gloves sold, I will buy you candy cakes." Lu Lin said.
Lu Lin was thin-skinned, and he felt a bit reluctant to bid in public. Lu Lin felt no pressure at all when he did things like bribing child labor with small favors.
When Chen Xiaocai heard Lu Lin's words, there was a bit of contempt in his eyes. He always felt that Lu Lin's tone was a bit like a fox.
Chen Maimei blinked at Lu Lin, and said, "Tang cake, really?"
Lu Lin nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, TangGao, really."
Chen Maimai bit her finger, and suddenly opened her throat, shouting, "Gloves are for sale! Gloves are for sale."
Chen Xiaocai looked at Mai Mai's hard work, her face blushed slightly, Chen Xiaocai thought to herself: The third brother is so easy to deceive, a piece of sugar cake can abduct him, even so, Chen Xiaocai also started yelling.
Chen Maimai has been eating well recently, and his appearance has grown. He is wearing a new cotton coat and a tiger hat, and looks very cute.
Chen Mai's voice was crisp and bright, and soon someone came to see the freshness, because the price of gloves was too high, most of them just looked at it and walked away.
Seeing that there were many people watching and few people buying, Chen Xiaocai was a little anxious, "Do you want to lower the price?"
Lu Lin shook his head and said, "No, that's the price."
Lu Lin secretly said: The appearance of this glove, anyone who is interested will know it at a glance. If you want to sell it for money, it is now. In a few days, there may be all kinds of gloves coming out. By then, it will be even less valuable. Even if the gloves are rotten in the hands, the price cannot be reduced.
Chen Xiaocai glanced at Chen Xiaomi for help, and Chen Xiaomi said without thinking, "Listen to him."
Chen Xiaocai blinked, vaguely feeling that the eldest brother is listening to Lu Lin more and more now. Although Shuanger usually listens to the man at home, Xiaocai always feels that the eldest brother is different, but...
Chen Xiaomi didn't know anything about Xiaocai's thoughts. He just thought that Lu Lin used to be a scholar with a lot of knowledge. Since Lu Lin made this thing, he should listen to Lu Lin. If it really can't be sold If you go out, just smash it in your hand, which is just a waste of fur and fabric.
Lu Lin caught sight of a sable fur with a brocade hat, walked past with the son of a book boy, and immediately winked at Chen Xiaomai.
When Chen Mai was at home, he had already practiced with Lu Lin, raised his hands, and said, "Gloves are sold, gloves are sold."
The young master who was looking around was indeed attracted, "What is this?"
Lu Lin picked up the most high-end fox fur gloves attentively, and introduced: "This is a glove, young man, look, it won't be cold when you wear it. There is a flip cover, and it won't leak air if you want to move around. You can also go up."
"Put on these gloves and practice calligraphy in winter, and it won't be so cold anymore."
When the young man in Huafu heard Lu Lin's words, his heart moved. "It's exquisite, how much is it!"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "Two taels of silver."
The boy on the side frowned and said, "Two taels of silver, you guys are stealing money!"
The boy on the side looked at Lu Lin and felt that Lu Lin was not kind. He wanted to cheat people when he saw that his son was well dressed and rich.
Lu Lin looked at the young man next to the young master, smiled secretly, and said to himself: After all, he is served by the rich man, and he looks very arrogant.
Lu Lin smiled unhurriedly, and said: "This is the best fox fur, and there are only a few pairs in total. If it is too expensive, this kind of rabbit fur only costs 300 yuan a pair, which is very cheap, but The style should be simpler, and it is also very warm, the young master looks like a big man, and using this rabbit fur is not in line with your taste, young master."
Liu Yi smiled and said: "Of course I want the best ones. Two taels of silver are not expensive. I want two pairs of fox fur and five pairs of rabbit fur." For people, you can use rabbit fur, anyway, it looks similar.
Lu Lin smiled and said, "It's five taels to five hundred dollars in total. Young Master is the first customer, so let's count it as five taels of silver."
"Brother, please!" Liu Yi readily paid the money.
Liu Yi handed the money to Lu Lin, and Lu Lin gave it back to Chen Xiaomi.
Chen Xiaomi put away the silver, and thought in amazement that it was actually sold, and seven pairs were sold in one go.
The things Lu Lin sells are novelty, many people are looking for new ones, many people are looking at them, but not buying them, and the animal skins are not expensive, most of them are thinking of going back to make their own.
After Liu Yi left, several people came to buy gloves one after another, and they all bought the cheapest rabbit fur gloves.
…
More than an hour after Liu Yi left, not many people came to buy gloves. After that, another lady who looked very rich came and bought two pairs of fox fur gloves.
Chen Xiaomi couldn't help but think, there are really many rich people in the town! You can buy this kind of thing for two taels of silver.
After a while, six or seven people came hand in hand.
Several people are well dressed, and it seems that the family is not short of money, so they come here to buy fresh goods.
"Do you still have fox fur gloves?"
Lu Lin looked at the few people who came, smiled, and said, "There are only four pairs left."
Lu Lin reckoned that these people should be acquainted with the young man who bought the gloves before, and the previous young man might have shown off.
"I want it all."
"Hou Li, you are not kind! Everyone came together, why do you want them all?"
The atmosphere of comparison between rich men is still very serious. The price of fox fur gloves is a little higher for ordinary people, but it is nothing to a few rich men who eat up other people's households for half a year for one meal.
"Brother, I'll offer three taels, you can sell them all to me."
"Yun Feng, you bastard, it's against the rules for you to do this!"
…
A few rich men clamored and snapped up all the gloves on the stall.
Seeing that the gloves were sold out, Lu Lin was happy to close the stall early.
Among the more than one hundred pairs of gloves, seven pairs of fox fur gloves sold for fourteen taels of silver. The other wool and rabbit fur gloves were cheaper, but they were more numerous and sold for nearly forty taels. After walking down, I actually made fifty-four taels of silver.
Chen Xiaomi was holding the silver, her cheeks were flushed.
Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaomi and said, "Everything is sold out, let's go shopping."
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Okay."
…
Lu Lin noticed that there were a few familiar people watching around, and when the young masters came over to grab something, the faces of those individuals were very strange.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin, and couldn't help but said excitedly: "I didn't expect gloves to be so valuable! I knew I would make more and sell them." His previous animal skins were all sold at a low price! If all of these were made into gloves and sold, how much would it cost
Lu Lin squinted his eyes and said, "It won't be worth much next time, and Grandma Shen's craftsmanship is better."
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Grandma Shen's craftsmanship is pretty good."
With money in his pocket, Chen Xiaomi was rare and generous to buy several pieces of sugar cakes. The soft and glutinous sugar cakes were very delicious. Chen Xiaocai and Chen Maimai were very satisfied.
At Lu Lin's request, Chen Xiaomi went to buy two new quilts. In Chen Xiaomi's opinion, there is nothing wrong with the old quilts. This year's life is much better than the previous two years. In Lu Lin's It seems different. Now that you have money, you should get rid of all the bad things at home.
Although Chen Xiaomi felt that Lu Lin was spoiled and spoiled, and looked like a young master, he didn't object.
…
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi were walking on the street. Chen Mai wanted everything he saw. Lu Lin saw that Chen Mai liked it, so he bought it for him.
Because he made a lot of money selling gloves, Chen Xiaomi gave Lu Lin a little "spending". Seeing how generous Lu Lin was, he couldn't help but feel a little pained.
"Brother Chen, take your brother out to play!"
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Young Master Yang, what a coincidence!"
Yang Hengzhi glared at the two of them, and said, "What a coincidence! I came here specifically to find you. I heard that you sell gloves in the town. Why did you sell such good things to those ignorant people? .”
As soon as Chen Xiaomi heard it, he knew that Yang Hengzhi was also thinking about wearing gloves, but the gloves were so easy to sell that they were all sold out.
"If Mr. Yang likes it, I still have a few pairs here, but not many." Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin in surprise.
Yang Hengzhi was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "There are really more."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yes, but not many."
Lu Lin took out three pairs of gloves from the mule cart and gave them to Yang Hengzhi.
Yang Hengzhi was overjoyed when he saw that one of them was a pair of fox fur gloves that his classmates couldn't buy.
"There are still fox fur ones." Yang Hengzhi said in surprise.
"I thought Mr. Yang might like it, so I specially reserved it for you."
"Let Brother Lu worry about it." Yang Hengzhi gave Lu Lin five taels of silver, and left without asking for change.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin, and asked a little puzzled, "Why do you still have gloves?"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "I planned to keep it for myself, but since I met Young Master Yang, let's sell it to him."
Chen Xiaomi curled her lips, she could just wear a rabbit fur one, why use fox fur! It's really a young master's style.
Lu Lin and the three brothers of the Chen family ate a lot of snacks at the rally, and played until the evening before returning home.
