Lu Lin lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and said after deliberation: "Next, we can collect a batch of winter gloves and sell them in winter."
"However, he already sold gloves last year. The sales may be limited, or it's time to consider selling something else. How about the scarf you mentioned?" Chen Xiaomi asked.
"It can be considered." Many people here are poor and can't even afford clothes. This scarf may be a bit redundant, but you can also store some. The poor can't afford it, and there are rich people too.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin and said, "How much money do we have?"
"There are about three hundred taels left." Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "A lot."
Lu Lin nodded and said: "Yes, this year is still good. The weather is good, and the grain should be harvested well. We can stockpile a batch of grain."
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "This is fine."
You are not short of money now, maybe you can consider going to the mountains, dig a few caves, and store a batch of grain in case of a disaster. There is Lu Lin's canteen, and it should not be difficult to transport the grain to the mountain. . It is possible that the price of food in this disaster year has risen several times in an instant.
Chen Xiaomi sighed and said: "Autumn is coming soon! Animals in this season are the fattest."
Lu Lin: "..." Chen Xiaomi probably wants to go hunting in the mountains, Chen Xiaomi is already so heavy, it's probably inappropriate to go into the mountains at this time. "Stop thinking about it, what will you do if you encounter a blind man in the mountains?"
Chen Xiaomi said with a guilty conscience: "I didn't say anything, I'll go now. Speaking of which, the bears there are really cute!"
"Bear?"
Chen Xiaomi took out a keychain and said, "You forgot!"
On the key chain of Lu Lin's canteen, there is a panda doll, which is very cute.
Lu Lin looked at the pendant in Chen Xiaomi's hand and said, "Ah, this is it, can we make some dolls and sell them?"
Chen Xiaomi thought for a while and said, "It should be fine."
There are still relatively few children's toys here. Many outsiders in the town love their grandsons and make up their minds that they are willing to spend money on children. Lu Lin started the preparations.
The fabrics are all ready-made, and I saved a lot for making schoolbags and fans.
Stuffed dolls need a lot of cotton wool, so Lu Lin went directly to buy some old quilts.
The doll's eyeballs are more important, so Lu Lin decided to order a batch of wooden wooden beads and dye them black.
Grandma Shen and Wan Li's wife Yun Niang were brought in by Lu Lin to try out dolls.
Grandma Shen and Yun Niang didn't know much about dolls. The dolls they made for the first time were a bit weird. However, Xiaomai had never seen such a thing before. When the dolls were made, they would hold them and never let them go. They had to take them with them to sleep.
Grandma Shen and Yun Niang conducted a series of experiments, and the dolls they made became more and more beautiful.
Grandma Shen and Yun Niang's speed was limited, so Lu Lin had to find a few people to distribute the work.
Of course, Lu Lin would not tell these people the complete method of making dolls. Grandma Shen and Yun Niang brought several female workers over in batches and taught them how to make different parts of dolls, some for ears, some for feet, and some for making dolls. Some of the clothes worn by the dolls are made of ribbons sewn into bows.
Because everyone only does a part, the female workers are a little confused about what they are going to do.
However, for a group of female workers, it is always good to have work to do. The sales of school bags have dropped, and the work assigned to everyone has decreased a lot, because the more they do, the more money they earn. Everyone's business has dropped recently.
Soho home.
"Daughter-in-law, what you do is so strange!"
Su Ho nodded, and said: "It's a bit strange. I guess what I made is only a part of it. Maybe it will be combined in the end to become a finished product, just like a schoolbag."
It was the same when I was making school bags before. At first, everyone thought that the things they made were weird, and the shopkeeper would definitely lose money.
As a result, as soon as the schoolbags came out, they sold like crazy. It is a pity that there are already many similar bags outside, and the bags in the store are not easy to sell.
"Probably so, but what will it do?"
Su Ho rolled his eyes, what would happen, among the female workers, only Grandma Shen and Yun Niang should know.
Grandma Shen and Yuniang's room, they can't go in casually, Lu Lin seems to have bought ten quilts a few days ago, and then bought another ten quilts, I don't know why I bought so many quilts, the weather is not cold now , Buying so many quilts, shouldn't it be for storage.
"Mother, did you bring me a bun!" The youngest son of Su Ho's family pulled Su Ho's pants at once.
Su Ho looked at his youngest son with some distress, and said, "I didn't buy you buns today, but they will be delivered tomorrow, tomorrow, let your father buy them for you, okay?"
Hearing that there were no steamed buns, the child was a little disappointed, but with Su Ho's promise, he nodded again.
Seeing that his son was being coaxed, Su Ho secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Some time ago, he didn't work much, earn little, and didn't earn much. These days, his work has gradually increased, which is a good sign.
Grandma Shen and Yun Niang are busy making dolls, while Chen Xiaomi is filling the doll with cotton wool. It is not easy to evenly fill the doll with cotton wool.
Chen Xiaomi doesn't like needlework, but he likes stuffing with cotton wool.
The workplaces of Grandma Shen and Yuniang have been moved to the main room.
The floor and bed in the main room are full of all kinds of dolls.
Chen Maimai was already insanely happy, hugging this doll, then hugging that doll, having a great time playing.
Although it was Grandma Shen and Yuniang who did the work, the appearance of the doll was designed by Lu Lin, and the two admired Lu Lin very much.
Grandma Shen and Yun Niang made many small dolls. The small dolls used less fabric and cotton wool, so the cost was lower. Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin and said, "Is this doll too high?"
Grandma Shen and Yun Niang have been getting used to making dolls a lot recently, so Lu Lin planned to let them make a super large doll.
Lu Lin shook his head and said, "No, this doll will become the signboard of our store after it is made." The signboard should be eye-catching, and it is best to make people unable to walk at a glance.
Chen Xiaomi: "..."
Although Chen Xiaomi felt that no one would buy such a large doll after it was made, Lu Lin still had confidence in designing the doll samples. A large bear doll.
As the summer gradually passed, the fan business in the shop gradually cooled down.
Shen Chi sat in the shop, holding his chin in some annoyance, "This fan can't even be sold."
Chen Xiaocai said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, we can't sell it, and neither can those stores."
There have been many shops selling schoolbags and fans in Liu Town recently, and those shops have kept their prices very low, so before no one made any money, the business of the boss who robbed their shop was very deserted. Right or left, they've already made their money back, so it doesn't matter.
Shen Chi puffed his cheeks and blinked.
Chen Xiaocai said confidently: "Brother Lin, I asked someone to bring a letter, saying that yes, there will be a big party in a few days, and he will launch a kind of doll in the store at that time, which should be able to sell for a lot of money."
Shen Chi blinked and said, "That's it, but what is a doll?"
Chen Xiaocai shook his head and said, "I don't know, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it can be sold for money."
Shen Chi: "..."
Lu Lin drove out more than 800 dolls in a short period of time.
In the autumn market, Lu Lin took out the dolls. There were people coming and going in the autumn market, and the front of Lu Lin's shop was even full of people. Many people gathered around Lu Lin's doll shop to watch the excitement.
"Grandpa, I want that, I want that."
A chubby doll, holding the hand of an old man in fancy clothes, pointed at the biggest bear doll in the store, and yelled loudly. The biggest bear doll in the store is very tall, wearing a beautiful dress and wearing a A big silk bow, a pair of wooden eyes are piercing.
The bear doll is surrounded by a group of various small dolls, including little yellow chickens, little yellow ducks, little rabbits, and little snakes. The shapes of each doll are different, but they all look very eye-catching.
"Master Wan, how much does the biggest doll cost?"
Wan Li shook his head and said: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, this is the treasure of our shop, it's not for sale."
Li Yuanwai nodded in understanding, and said, "The treasure of the town store cannot be sold casually."
"You heard it, it's not that grandpa doesn't sell it to you, but others don't sell it."
The fat baby on one side sat down on the ground when he heard what the old man said, and couldn't get up.
The old man looked at the spoiled grandson, and said helplessly, "I can't buy that one, but I can buy other ones. If you don't get up, there will be nothing left."
The little fat man rolled his eyes, got up, and pointed at the dolls in the store.
"Then I want that rabbit." The little fat man pointed to the rabbit, then pointed to the little yellow chicken next to him, "and that one"
The little fat man looked at the dolls in the store, feeling dazzled and unable to choose, "I want that one too." The little fat man pointed to the kitten next to him.
"Buy a rabbit."
Wan Li nodded, and said: "The rabbit is six hundred coins, Yuanwai Li, do you want to pick another one? If you buy two, it will be two taels cheaper."
The little fat man pulled Li Yuanwai's robe and howled loudly, "I want two, I want two."
Li Yuanwai heard the words and reluctantly bought two dolls.
The little fat man hugged the big doll, his teeth leaking from his smile.
Li Yuanwai said sourly: "Master Wan, your Huaxia Commercial Bank really knows how to do business."
Wan Li smiled, and said: "Where, where, Mr. Li, you are flattering yourself."
There are people passing by the door of Huaxia shop. If the family is a little more prosperous, they will buy a doll or two to coax the children. If the conditions are poor, they will buy a smaller one, and if the conditions are good, they will buy a bigger one. There is an endless stream of people who come to buy.
In the autumn market, children holding dolls can be seen everywhere.
When a child saw the other child holding a doll, he naturally clamored for it, Wanli was very busy.
