The schoolbags in the store were very popular, which made Wan Tie very happy. The life of their servants who signed the contract of sale was closely related to the master's family.
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi seem to be nice people, and they probably wouldn’t hit people casually, which made Wan Tie secretly relieved. What worries Wan Tie is that if the owner has no money, they will definitely not be able to afford their wages. I can't even eat a full meal. If the master's family is rich, it shouldn't be difficult to make a living.
Before, his son had been tortured by the young master, so Wan Tie didn't have high goals in life. He just hoped that his son would grow up smoothly.
When Lu Lin returned home, he saw Chen Xiaomi studying the drawings. Lu Lin drew a lot of bags for Chen Xiaomi. However, there were no zippers in this era, and many styles of bags could not be made. Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin will get together to discuss alternatives.
Schoolbags are selling very well recently," Chen Xiaomi said, Lu Lin started selling schoolbags after hoarding a batch of them.
But even so, the dozens of schoolbags on the shelves were all sold out. As far as he knew, people in his town were buying them, and some people bought schoolbags and sold them elsewhere.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yes!"
Lu Lin taught Chen Xiaomi the nine-nine-nine multiplication formula before, and Chen Xiaomi mastered it very quickly. He also taught addition and subtraction, and the arithmetic is very good. The accounts, firstly, can clearly understand the income of the commercial firm, and secondly, can better grasp the calculations.
Chen Xiaomi made some calculations and said, "In the past few days, a total of 210 bags have been sold. Excluding the wages paid to the female workers, the net income is forty taels."
Chen Xiaomi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the money in his hands. These days, he spent money like running water, but he never received any money, which made him secretly anxious. Now that he has income, Chen Xiaomi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although the schoolbags are selling well, they probably won't be able to sell after a while," Chen Xiaomi said.
Lu Lin nodded, "It's possible."
There are only so many rich people in the small town. After those rich people have a schoolbag, it is estimated that they will not be able to sell it. When the schoolbags first sold, they were booming, but recently they have gradually cooled down.
"If new schoolbags are constantly launched, they should still be able to sell." Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi scratched the paper with a pen, "Perhaps we can design some bags suitable for ladies."
Lu Lin nodded, "It can be considered." Women's money is always easy to earn. There are many noble ladies here who play cards and listen to operas all day long. They seem to be very rich. "
"Take your time." They just rolled out the schoolbags, there's no need to be in such a hurry, let's talk about it first.
The business of the firm has stabilized, and Lu Lin plans to take side dishes and wheat back to the countryside.
Lu Lin reckoned that some of the vegetables in the vegetable field should be almost grown, and they can collect a batch, and save as much as possible.
Many of Xiaocai and Maimai's playmates are also in the countryside. Although they didn't say anything, Lu Lin could see that they would occasionally want to go back to their hometown.
Lu Lin decides to go back to his hometown and takes Wan Xiaofan with him.
It's not that he is small-minded, but that he has to take precautions. If they all leave, only the Wan family will be left in the town. If this family sneaks away, his twenty taels of silver will be wasted.
The location of Chen Xiaomi's house is relatively remote, so Chen Xiaomi went to the town for many days, but not many people found out.
"Brother Lin, you are back!" Shen Chi was a little happy to see Lu Lin and the others.
Chen Xiaocai and Chen Maimai have been away for many days, Shen Chi is used to playing with them, he is really not used to it.
"Brother Lin, your chickens and ducklings have been raised at my house, do you want to send them over?" Shen Chi asked.
Lu Lin blinked. After buying a house in the town, Lu Lin was thinking about moving. The move was a bit rushed. Lu Lin secretly put all the food at home in the canteen and moved to the town. However, Live animals such as chickens and ducks are not easy to move. Before, when the farming season was busy, Lu Lin saw that Grandma Shen was not young, and it was inconvenient to take care of a few acres of land, so she lent the mule to Grandma Shen. The move was in a hurry, and the family's livestock could not be handled. Lu Lin So he fostered several livestock at Grandma Shen's house and left some food.
When Lu Lin moved, he didn't expect that he would stay in the city for nearly 20 days. The livestock at home were handed over to Grandma Shen to raise them for more than 20 days.
Lu Lin was a little embarrassed. Those poultry were good at eating. After so many days, the food he left should have been eaten long ago.
Lu Lin went to Shen's house. The chickens, ducks and geese of Lu's house were all raised in captivity.
Lu Lin gave Grandma Shen's family a chicken and a goose.
The two long ones were almost slaughtered, and the other ones were going to be moved to the town to raise them.
The children quickly played together, Xiaocai asked Shen Chi about what happened in the countryside, and Shen Chi and Xiaocai asked about interesting things in the city.
The Lu family held two weddings in a row recently. Lu Chengyu's wedding was bustling, while Lu Tong's was deserted and was talked about for a long time.
"Brother, Shen Chi said that the Lu family had a quarrel a few days ago, and it seems that it was because of Shen Fangyue's brother." Chen Xiaocai nodded along with Chen Xiaomi, and said "Oh", not really surprised.
When Chen Xiaomi went to the restaurant before, it happened that Li Hong was treating a guest to dinner. It should be the dowry from the Lu family. Li Hong took advantage of the Lu family and hadn't said anything nice. In the ears of the Lu family.
Just as Chen Xiaomi expected, the Tang family would prepare so many dowry gifts in the hope that Li Fangyue would bring back more. When they got engaged, the matchmaker meant that the Li family was from the town. The shop has a lot of silver, so it won't take advantage of the Lu family. The money is just a formality, and it sounds better when it is said.
The matchmaker said a lot of good things, and Tang was so confident in her son that she believed it. As a result, Li Fangyue came back with a few taels of silver. The family's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Tang was going to get mad a long time ago, but Li Fangyue had a powerful brother-in-law behind her, so Mrs. Tang didn't dare to go too far.
Lu Chengyu hadn't been admitted as a scholar before, and he was a little bit incapacitated, and he always wanted to make it to the top.
After marrying Li Fangyue, Lu Chengyu was very disappointed that she didn't get on the master's line as expected.
Li Fangyue's appearance was mediocre, let alone Tang Shi regretted it, even Lu Chengyu himself regretted it endlessly.
Lu Chengyu was dissatisfied, but he agreed to this marriage, even if he regretted it, he didn't say it and slapped him in the face. Tang did not dare to beat and scold Li Fangyue, but he still dared to send Li Fangyue to work.
Li Fangyue was at fault, and she was a daughter-in-law after all, so she had to go to work. The Tang family was used to oppressing people, and she held her breath in her heart. She lost a lot of work to Li Fangyue. Li Fangyue was not Lu Lin's mother, so she was squeezed hard Then I got mad, and often clamored to go back to my mother's house to find my brother-in-law to make decisions.
Tang couldn't, and didn't dare to squeeze too much.
At this time, the words Li Hong said in the town reached the ears of the Lu family, and Tang almost vomited blood in anger. The Li family took so much money from them, married a loser, and even despised their family as mud legs Whoops, all the money sent out by their family went into the stomachs of Li Hong and his group of cronies.
Tang Shi has always been strong, and he was almost pissed off when he knew this.
Knowing the current situation of the Lu family, Lu Lin really gloated a lot.
Lu Lin discussed with Grandma Shen and told Grandma Shen that he was currently working in the city and was short of someone in charge. When he invited Grandma Shen to work in the city, Grandma Shen was very surprised.
When rural people go to work in the city, they are always picked on by their masters. Grandma Shen never expected that Lu Lin would find her own old woman to go to the city to manage dozens of female workers.
Yunniang is in charge of making schoolbags.
When Lu Lin bought someone, he wanted to buy someone who could cook. In this day and age, men are always criticized for going into the kitchen.
The Yunniang that Lu Lin was looking for was not bad in craftsmanship, but Yunniang was busy making bags all day long, and she was so busy that there was no one else to cook.
When there was a shortage of manpower, Lu Lin would cook a meal.
Wan Tie was taken aback when he saw Lu Lin cooking, and felt very sorry.
The Chen family was originally very poor, so it was okay to be a cook, but now he can be regarded as a half rich man, and it is not appropriate to wash his hands and make soup every day. However, he can't trust ordinary people. It feels like a waste.
After thinking about it, Lu Lin put his idea on Grandma Shen. It is not easy for Grandma Shen to raise a younger brother by herself. In addition, the two parties have cooperated several times. Grandma Shen's needlework is also very good.
Grandma Shen packed her luggage and followed Lu Lin to the city. Yunniang welcomed Grandma Shen very much. After all, the final integration was done by Yunniang alone, and the workload was still very heavy.
If other people would still think about learning the craft and jumping to another job, but Yunniang signed the contract of selling herself, so naturally she would not have this idea.
Grandma Shen was very curious about the house where Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi lived. There were three servant rooms in total. Except for Wan's family, the other female workers lived very close together, and most of them wanted to go home. Grandma Shen and Shen Chi also divided Got to a room.
Shen Chi is a little brother, all the little brothers in this world want to learn some needlework, this is also one of the little brothers' capital.
Grandma Shen will agree to come and work, and she also intends to let Shen Chi learn some needlework.
Grandma Shen was very curious about the schoolbags she made, but she didn't ask too much.
With Yunniang's guidance, Grandma Shen quickly got started.
Lu Lin was originally worried that if he made too many schoolbags, he would not be able to sell them. However, Lu Lin's worry was a little unnecessary. Some wealthy households in the city purchased a large number of schoolbags and gave them to people in other towns. After the reputation spread, they came to buy bags. With more and more people, Lu Lin had to recruit a few more people to expand the scale of production.
Lu Lin recently developed a new type of linen bag, which is different from the bags sold to school students in pursuit of style and beauty. This kind of bag pursues practicality.
This kind of bag is relatively cheap, only 80 yuan a piece, the capacity is very large, and it is strong. It is mainly sold to those who walk around the streets. Although the profit of this kind of bag is small, it is better because there are many people buying it. .
The business of the firm is good, and Chen Xiaomi is in a very good mood.
Lu Lin taught Chen Xiaomi the arithmetic method, and Chen Xiaomi can already master it.
