Lu Lin found that there seemed to be some differences in the aesthetics of Linzhen and Liuzhen. Some bags that no one cares about in Linzhen are very marketable in Liuzhen. Of course, there are also some bags that sell well in Linzhen. No one cares about Liuzhen.
Lu Lin discovered that there were several so-called influential figures in both Linzhen and Liuzhen. The bags that these people appreciate are more likely to be favored by others, which may be similar to the star effect in the previous life.
During this period of time, Lu Lin has launched some packages one after another.
For some rich people, the important thing is not money, but to be able to buy good things earlier. Therefore, although there is a similar and cheaper shop in the town, the things in their shop sell better. After staying in the town for a while, thinking about not going back for a while, he took Shen Chi back to the countryside.
Knowing that Grandma Shen was going back, Lu Lin lent the donkey cart to Grandma Shen.
Grandma Shen is here, and she has become more and more familiar with Lu Lin, and she didn't refuse. She thought about bringing more vegetables from the countryside to Lu Lin when she came back.
There is still some distance between the town and the countryside. When Lu Lin got busy, he went directly to the market to buy vegetables. In Grandma Shen's opinion, such behavior was a great waste.
Grandma Shen took Shen Chi to the field to work around, and when several villagers saw Grandma Shen and Shen Chi come back, they gathered together.
"Grandma Shen, you're back, haven't you been back for a long time?"
Grandma Shen smiled and said, "Yes!"
"Grandma Shen, you and Shen Chi didn't come back after working in the town, do you live in the town?"
"Yes!"
"The rent in this town is so expensive, it's not very expensive for you to live there."
"The master's family is rich, and there are several servants' rooms, and we just got one. However, there are no more vacant rooms now."
Grandma Shen smiled. There are only three servant rooms in total. It is not easy for him and his grandson to occupy one room. It should be Lu Lin who takes care of their grandchildren.
Housing is also a big problem. The female workers in this store are all relatively close to the town. If they are far away, they will waste a lot of time on the road.
"Achi, now that he stays in the town every day, he can be regarded as someone who has seen the world."
Shen Chi smiled awkwardly, and said, "Auntie was joking."
"Why are you joking? The boy from the Chen family used to help in the store, but he disappeared recently. Did he get sold?" A chubby woman asked carelessly.
Shen Chi was taken aback by what the woman said, "How is it possible?"
The woman smiled awkwardly, and said: "I also heard from the old lady of the Chen family. The old lady said that Chen Xiaomi stopped her from selling her grandson because she wanted to keep it for herself."
Shen Chi blinked, it was hard to imagine that such absurd rumors would spread in the village.
Xiaocai was obviously sent to the next town by Lu Lin to be a shopkeeper, but some people in the village thought that Xiaocai had been sold.
Grandma Shen, how did I hear that all the female workers in the shop are under his care? Grandma Shen smiled and said, "It's under his care, maybe it's the boss's intention."
"Grandma Shen! Can you help me in the store!"
Grandma Shen said with some embarrassment: "This, I can't make the decision."
Although the house Lu Lin and the others live in is quite big, the main house cannot be moved. It is the site of the big boss, and Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi don't go there very often. The east and west rooms are occupied by the brothers of the Chen family, and they cannot be moved. There are only three servant rooms left, which can accommodate several people, but they all require Lu Lin's approval.
Although the three servant rooms are quite spacious, some female workers may stay in the servant rooms in special weather, so they are not very empty.
Grandma Shen and Shen Chi tidied up the countryside. Grandma Shen was busy working here, and from time to time someone would come up and ask if they could also work in the store.
Seeing that Grandma Shen disagreed, her expression was not very good-looking.
Grandma Shen had no choice but to hastily dealt with the weeds in the field and returned to the town.
Lu Lin looked at Shen Chi and said in surprise: "Someone in the Chen family said that I sold Chen Xiaocai."
Shen Chi nodded, "Yes, there are still people who believe it."
When Shen Chi returned to the village, he heard a lot of messy rumors. Some people speculated that Lu Lin was worried that Chen Xiaocai would take away his and Chen Xiaomi's money in the future, so he sold Chen Xiaocai.
This rumor has something to do with the Lu family, Tang quarrels all day long, Lu Lin is an idiot, he doesn't know when he makes money and gives it to his family, it's all cheap for an outsider like Chen Xiaocai.
Some people suspect that Lu Lin was worried that all the money would belong to Chen Xiaocai in the future, so he secretly abducted Chen Xiaocai. Ah, Lu Lin took a deep breath and couldn't help thinking about it. It's been a while since I sent Chen Xiaocai out. It's really not appropriate to let a child stay outside for so long.
"You said you want Wan Li to exchange the side dishes?" Chen Xiaomi asked.
Lu Lin nodded, and said, "Yes, I plan to transfer Wan Li to Liuzhen. If it's here, let Xiaocai come."
Chen Xiaomi also hasn't seen Xiaocai for a while, and she still misses it a little.
Lu Lin sighed, changing Chen Xiaocai back would also have drawbacks.
"If Xiaocai is the shopkeeper, people from the Chen family will probably make trouble." Before, Xiaocai was only a helper, and the Chen family couldn't sit still.
Chen Xiaomi curled her lips and said, "If you're making trouble, just type it out."
Lu Lin thought for a while, and said, "That's right, leaving such a child outside is really worrying."
Grandma Shen looked at Shen Chi and said, "A Chi, you are in a good mood!"
Shen Chi said with some embarrassment: "Brother Lin said, he will bring back the side dishes."
Grandma Shen said suspiciously: "Bring the side dishes back, what about Liucheng?"
Shen Chi blinked, and said: "I heard that shopkeeper Wan will be transferred. Shopkeeper Wan is older than Xiaocai, so he should be more mature."
Grandma Shen was a little surprised and said, "Why did you suddenly have to transfer someone back? Don't let Xiaocai cause trouble over there." In Grandma Shen's view, Chen Xiaocai is capable, but she is still too young.
"No trouble, but I told Brother Lin before that someone in the village said he sold the side dishes, maybe because of this..." Shen Chi hesitated at the end.
Shen Chi always hoped that Chen Xiaocai would come back, but he didn't expect to tell Lu Lin that that would make Lu Lin transfer Xiaocai back, he just wanted to remind Lu Lin.
A few days later, when Lu Lin was transporting the goods, he brought Wan Li over and brought Chen Xiaocai back.
When Chen Xiaocai saw Chen Xiaocai, she howled, and rushed towards Chen Xiaocai. Chen Xiaocai hugged Xiaomai into her arms.
The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Chen Xiaomai was a little excited to see Xiaocai.
Shen Chi stayed aside, looking at Chen Xiaocai quietly, their eyes met, and they both blushed.
Lu Lin watched from the side, rolled his eyes, and thought to himself that the little devils of this era are amazing, they fall in love at such a young age.
Lu Lin thought about it for a second, and felt that it would be good to find a good partner earlier. Many marriage contracts in this place are based on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Some couples have never met each other before getting married. After getting married, they hate each other , but still had to make do with it.
Although there are many blind marriages here, there are relatively few marriages and divorces.
In a place where getting enough to eat is a problem, reconciliation is naturally no longer considered by many people. Moreover, the etiquette in this place is extremely strict, and many women will not mention reconciliation even if their lives are not good.
Wan Li was transferred away, Chen Xiaocai took over as the shopkeeper, and Lu Lin sent Shen Chi to help.
Shen Chi has been making nets all the time, but recently, some ordinary nets have been imitated, and the price of nets has dropped, so Lu Lin asked Shen Chi to learn more from Wan Li in his spare time. Time, the abacus has been played very slippery.
Before, Wan Li, who was watching the store, was a servant who signed a contract of sale. Outsiders didn't know Wan Li's origin, so they were still very afraid of him.
When Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi were replaced in the store, there would often be some villagers from Dashi Village who came to make friends in the store.
Sometimes, there are a bunch of people in the store, no one is shopping, they are all chatting with Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi, most of the people are very well-behaved, and some people are good at rubbing their hands on the bags, Rubbed the bag dirty.
Chen Xiaocai has a way of dealing with guests, but she has no way to deal with these three aunts and six women.
Fortunately, it is not easy for people from the village to come to the town, and there are not so many people in the store every day.
The life of the Chen family is getting better and better.
"Chen Xiaolai is so young, so he's quite slippery with his plans!"
In the past, Chen Xiaocai was thin and small, but now it seems that he is quite handsome! Chen Xiaocai is helping in the store, so he must have some money. Chen Xiaomi's family all worked in the town, so they must have made a lot of money.
When many people in the village go to the market, they like to go to the Huaxia Commercial Bank to have a look. After seeing it this way, the rumor that Chen Xiaocai is young, promising and capable has spread in the village.
The old lady of the Chen family was not happy when the villagers praised Chen Xiaocai. The old lady was partial to the eldest family, and always felt that the eldest family was the most promising and should be the best in life. The wife vomited in panic.
"I didn't expect the brothers of the Chen family to gain a firm foothold in the town." Li Zheng and Zhang Cheng were a little surprised.
"I went to Huaxia Commercial Bank a few days ago, and the business in the store is very good." Zhang Jin said.
Zhang Chengman said enviously: "Chen Xiaomi has come a long way. He can work in such a store. Behind the store is a mansion. It seems that Lu Lin arranges who lives in that mansion. If Lu Lin has such great power , Maybe people in our village want to go to the town to rest in the future, so they can go to Lu Lin."
Zhang Jinman said helplessly: "Father, what are you talking about?" Don't say that the house is not Lu Lin's, even if it is Lu Lin's, it is not good to bother him so much.
Seeing his son's rebuttal, Zhang Cheng said unhappily: "Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi came from the village, so it's right to help the villagers. How expensive are the inns in the town! I heard that Grandma Shen and Chi Chi I occupied a room exclusively, and there was a family of mountain people on the mountain, and now there are two young children living there, and they will live there for a long time.”
Zhang Jin glanced at Zhang Cheng, and said sullenly: "Father, did someone tell you something for no reason, don't offend others blindly!"
Zhang Cheng said with some embarrassment: "I just said it casually, but so does Lu Lin. There are so many embroidered women in the village. He prefers people from other villages."
"Did my aunt tell you something?" Zhang Jin has an aunt who also knows how to do embroidery, and occasionally goes to the town to sell some embroidery to subsidize the family.
Her aunt has a problem, she likes to take advantage.
His daughter-in-law can also embroider. Some time ago, the aunt came over and took his daughter-in-law's embroidery and said it was to help her take it to the town to help her sell her daughter-in-law. Auntie, in the end, the money from the sale was only a little bit, and he couldn't even make up for the money for the needlework. His aunt told his wife that there were too many embroidery products in the town, and the price dropped.
After a few times, her daughter-in-law could no longer trust his aunt, and as far as he knew, his aunt had indeed given away most of the money for embroidery.
"Your aunt's craftsmanship is no worse than Grandma Shen's. Grandma Shen is old after all." Zhang Chengdao.
Zhang Jin said sullenly: "Father, Lu Lin can use whoever he wants, so don't get involved."
"It's not a matter of craftsmanship. His aunt is not a good person. As far as he knows, Grandma Shen's position is quite important. Before, there were two female workers in the Huaxia shop who learned something and found another boss. It has had a considerable impact on the business.”
The Chen family brothers are doing well now, Zhang Jin doesn't want to offend others because of his aunt.
