Lu Lin asks Wan Tie's wife, Yun Niang, to come forward and recruit female workers who can embroider in the town.
Lu Lin offered a salary of twenty-five Wen a day, and soon got someone. Many people in this era really want to work, but they can't find it.
Now that the busy farming season is over, twenty-five-day wages are still very attractive.
After Yunniang had invited a dozen or so people, some people came to inquire about the news, asking if they wanted more people, and when they knew they didn't, many people were very disappointed.
Yunniang's craftsmanship is not bad, so the final combination of some complicated bags is done by Yunniang.
Lu Lin found that Wan Tie's family was a bit special. Wan Tie seemed to be someone who had seen the world. Yun Niang should have looked good, but there was a scar on her face, which ruined her beautiful appearance.
The two's child, Wan Xiaofan, is very thin and weak, looking submissive, he seems a little scary.
Lu Lin accidentally saw a scar on Wan Xiaofan's arm, which looked like a burn, and he didn't know how it was caused.
Both Wan Tie and Yun Niang seemed to love this child very much. When talking to Wan Xiaofan, they spoke softly and patiently, as if they were afraid of scaring people.
Lu Lin bought Wan Tie's family, so he naturally wanted to ask Yazi about the situation of Wan Tie's family.
As far as he knew, Wan Tie's family belonged to a family with children, and Wan Tie's parents were also servants. Yunniang was originally a dowry girl from a rich family. Maybe she offended his wife, got her face scratched, and was betrothed to Wan Tie again. iron.
In this era, the status of maids is very low. When they are young, they work at home, but when they are older, they will probably be sold.
When maids are sold, they are generally not too young, so naturally they cannot be sold to any good people.
The dream of many maids is to be confiscated by the masters and young masters of the family and become concubines. However, even if they become concubines, their status is still very low.
Lu Lin took Xiaocai and Maima over. Maimai was a little curious about Wan Xiaofan. Maimai usually met children older than him, but when he suddenly met someone younger than him, he was very curious and seemed very happy.
Wan Xiaofan seemed to be very afraid of Mai Mai, sometimes he froze his body and did not dare to move when Mai Mai grabbed him.
At first, Lu Lin thought that Wan Xiaofan might be naturally afraid of people, but later, he guessed that Wan Xiaofan might have been hurt by his peers.
Lu Lin secretly guessed that the scar on Wan Xiaofan's arm was caused by a child.
Mai Mai is actually a warm-hearted person, sometimes, she even takes her own snacks to share with Wan Xiaofan. However, Wan Xiaofan never dared to eat it, which disappointed Maimai.
The few embroidery workers hired by Lu Lin's family, Lu Lin handed over to Yun Niang to manage, and the few embroidery workers are still very honest, maybe because they are afraid of losing their jobs, they work very hard.
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi live in the East Wing, while Chen Xiaocai and Chen Xiaomi live in the West Wing. The main room is vacant.
Wan Tie and Yun Niang live in the servant's room, the population of the Lu family is relatively small, there are three servant's rooms in total.
"Master, what are the two masters?" Yun Niang felt that Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi who bought her were very strange.
Wan Tie sighed and said, "Just work hard."
Wan Tie's father was a servant, and he was a servant from birth. The temper of the master's family was not very good. The servant, however, is also good.
Yunniang was originally the lady's dowry maid, and Wan Tie had a good impression of Yunniang, but unfortunately, the young master took a fancy to her, and the lady was jealous, and scratched Yunniang's face. The young master was no longer interested, and the eldest lady followed suit and betrothed Yunniang to Wan Tie.
Although Yunniang's face is ruined, it is not easy for a servant like Wan Tie to marry a daughter-in-law. It is not bad to be able to marry Yunniang. sail. Originally, life was good, but after the concubine of the eldest master gave birth to a concubine, the young master born to the eldest lady was not taken seriously.
The little young master didn't know if he was picked on by someone, he saw Wan Xiaofan not pleasing everywhere, so he found Wan Xiaofan to be a school boy, beat and scolded Wan Xiaofan, almost killed him several times.
Even if the servant who signed the contract of selling himself was beaten to death, as long as he spent money to clear it up, the government would not care.
Wan Tie couldn't bear to see his son being tortured like this, he disobeyed the young master and pissed off his wife, who sold their family of three.
Yunniang glanced at Wan Xiaofan, a little worried about her son.
Wan Xiaofan was always bullied in the past two years, and there was something wrong with his sanity, Yunniang felt very sorry for this son.
Yunniang used to be the eldest lady's dowry maid, and it was the eldest lady's son who bullied Wan Xiaofan. Yunniang guessed that the young master bullied his son because of her reasons.
She was sent here as the wife's dowry girl. Not long after entering the door, the young master became interested in her. The young lady scratched her face in jealousy. Seeing her disfigurement, the young master didn't care much about her.
The eldest young master is not a dedicated person. Not long after the wedding, concubines were brought in one by one, and the young lady took it out on her when her life was uncomfortable.
Two years ago, the eldest young master married Aunt Lin, who was born in Hualou, romantic, affectionate, understanding, and very favored.
After Aunt Lin entered the door, there were rumors about the viciousness of the eldest lady, and her disfigurement was also used to say that the eldest lady's reputation was not good, and her life became even more difficult.
After the family was sold, they have been living in a homeless place. Yazi didn't care about their life or death. He gave half a steamed bun a day to ensure that they would not starve to death.
Wan Tie said strangely: "The bag that Young Master Lu made is really amazing."
Yun Niang is in charge of the final integration work, and Wan Tie has also seen the final finished schoolbag. Wan Tie used to be a housekeeper in a wealthy family, so he was a well-informed person, but he had never seen such a miraculous bag.
Yun Niang nodded and said, "This bag should be welcomed by students."
After hoarding a batch of various bags, Lu Lin took a batch out and sold them in commercial shops.
There was always a process for the ancients to accept new things. After the schoolbags were hung out, no one knew what they were for, and there were only a few buyers.
Yang Yuanwai's family is one of the richest households in the town, and the items of Yang's family can easily become the weather vane for others.
When the two children of the Yang family arrived at the school with their schoolbags on their backs, they immediately caused a sensation.
"Yang Teng, the bag you are carrying is so beautiful!"
As soon as Yang Teng and Yang Miao appeared in the academy, they were surrounded by several schoolchildren.
A few schoolchildren gathered around their schoolbags looking at strange things, which made Yang Teng and Yang Miao feel a little smug.
"This bag is called a schoolbag. It can hold a lot of books. There is a grid inside. There is a rope buckle here. You just need to put the rope in and you can tie it up. It's very convenient." After getting the schoolbag, Yang Teng fiddled with it at home. For a long time, this will be just right to show off.
"There are two shoulder straps here, which can be carried on the back."
Yang Teng was showing off his schoolbag here, and a few students were amazed.
The beautiful wooden pendant on the school bag is also very eye-catching.
Several students stared at it very hotly. After learning that this schoolbag was sold in a nearby business store, they all decided to buy one at a business store after they left school.
Lu Lin gave the Yang family two schoolbags, which immediately became popular in the academy.
Children's desire for comparison is no less than that of adults. A few children from wealthy families saw the schoolbags carried by the two young children of the Yang family, and chased them to Lu Lin's business that day.
Within a few days, less than half of the students in the academy had their schoolbags on their backs.
Standing at the gate of the school, you can see a group of teenagers going to the school, carrying schoolbags, walking by with arrogance and arrogance.
A few days later, almost every student in the academy had a schoolbag.
The cheapest schoolbags sold in commercial shops cost only one hundred cash, while the most expensive ones cost one tael of silver.
Expensive schoolbags use better fabrics.
Lu Lin also found a few carpenters to make some more delicate pendants, which were hung on the bag with ropes for decoration.
The mechanical level of this era is a little behind, but there are still many skilled craftsmen. Some carpenters make wooden hairpins, which are very delicate. It is natural to make some exquisite pendants.
The bags in the business store are very popular, and almost every student in the nearby college has a schoolbag.
To Lu Lin's surprise, the Wan Tie he bought was actually literate. Although he didn't know many people and could do some arithmetic, Lu Lin sent Wan Tie to a commercial firm to be the store manager.
Many people in the village are studying in the county school, and Lu Lin's shop is close to the college, and Lu Lin doesn't want to attract too much attention, at least not for the time being, so some of the publicity work is handed over to Wan Tie came forward, Wan Tie was a person in charge after all, and he did a very good job.
When Lu Chengyu returned to the academy, he saw that many of his classmates were carrying their schoolbags.
Lu Chengyu thought about buying one after school.
Although the Lu family's money has become tighter recently, the old lady is still partial to Lu Lin. Knowing that Lu Lin is going back to the county school, she is afraid that his classmates will look down on him, so she gave him 300 yuan.
Lu Chengyu was not admitted as a scholar, and was depressed for a while. He used the reason of getting married and hid at home all the time.
Recently, the conflict between Wang, Tang and Li Fangyue has gradually deepened, and the family is often noisy.
Li Fangyue was scolded, so she cried to Lu Chengyu.
Lu Chengyu was also a little dissatisfied with this plain-looking wife, but he had to be perfunctory because he was concerned about the Yue family.
The fighting situation at home continued to escalate, and Lu Chengyu was quarreled head and neck, so he simply hid.
Lu Chengyu looked at the new-style schoolbags in the hands of the students, and was also very interested. Knowing that the best quality schoolbags cost more than one tael, Lu Chengyu couldn't help but feel ashamed.
After school, Lu Chengyu and a few classmates went to Huaxia Commercial Firm run by Lu Lin.
Entering the firm, Lu Chengyu saw a lot of schoolbags hanging in the store. Each schoolbag had a price tag under it, and there were all kinds of different grades. More than one tael of silver is stealing money, but I still paid for one.
"This Huaxia Commercial Firm didn't seem to exist before!" Lu Chengyu said.
"The business used to sell groceries, but it seems to have changed owners recently."
"It is said that the owner of the business went to other places and sold the business and the house behind it."
"The business and the house should cost a lot of money." Lu Chengyu said.
"That's right, I heard that it costs more than two hundred taels."
"Who bought the house?"
"The master is quite low-key."
Lu Chengyu looked at the signboard of the firm and felt a little jealous. The Lu family had been living a tight life recently because of his marriage. Hearing that someone casually spent more than 200 taels to buy a firm and a shop, Lu Chengyu suddenly became jealous of the rich.
Lu Chengyu envied the owner of the firm's wealth and wealth, but never thought that the owner of the firm would be Lu Lin, whom he had always despised.
