Chapter 489: Plush Toy

Translator: Lonelytree

If they were to use new cloth, it would not be worth it at all.

Since Lin yuelan wanted to open a toy store, she had already thought of everything.

She said, “go and make an announcement to the public that we are purchasing old cotton clothes that they don’t want. It’s two Wen per 500 grams. If there are more than 500 grams, you can change them into cloth that is less than half Liang at the Linyue Pavilion.”

Although the clothes in Linyue Pavilion were high-end, there was a big difference in the price.

Of course, the clothes with good fabric and beautiful designs were more expensive. Some were sold for tens of taels or hundreds of taels. Some of the more popular clothes were slightly cheaper. The cheapest was three to four hundred Wen.

Why was there such a huge difference?

First, it was because the area was small. In a small town like Ning An town, how many people would buy clothes that cost more than a hundred taels a day? no matter how rich a family was, they would not splurge like this.

Therefore, Lin Yue Pavilion’s customer base was mostly ordinary families.

Three to four hundred Wen was not too expensive, but it was not too cheap either. It was within the range that they could afford.

To them, although the clothes were expensive, they were worth it.

Therefore, Linyue Pavilion’s business was booming every day, and Lin Yuelan didn’t have to worry about this.

Now, many people would be happy to exchange old clothes for new ones.

Li Guaisheng’s eyes immediately lit up when he heard Lin Yuelan’s words. He nodded and said, ” that’s a good idea. Good!

“Also, there must be a requirement. These old clothes can’t be dirty, smelly, or worn by patients with infectious diseases. Once they are found, we will refuse to buy them!”

“That’s for sure!” Li Huaisheng agreed. This was a hygiene problem, so he had to be careful.

Lin Yuelan continued, “For the clothes you buy, you first have to heat up the water and boil it repeatedly in this high-temperature water to disinfect and kill the bacteria. Then, you have to remove the color, dry it, and tidy it up like before. Remember, you have to make sure that these things are clean!”

After these things were made into toys, they had to be in frequent contact with people, especially children. They had weak resistance and could not be stained with dirty things, so they had to be completely cleaned.

Originally, these things were mostly made of cotton, silk cotton, or sponges. However, in this backward ancient era, people in the ancient times did not like to spend money. No matter how capable she was, she could not get these things to make toys. Therefore, she could only take a step back and use old clothes and cotton.

Although Li Huaisheng didn’t understand what sterilization was, he understood the meaning of boiling water.

“Alright!” he agreed again.

After Lin Yuelan explained these things to Li Huaisheng, she left Ning An town.



At Qingfeng provincial capital’s Guangju Yuan auction house, the short and chubby shopkeeper Zhou sat at the head of the table and asked his subordinate with a serious expression, “Is Lin Deshan really in that remote Ning An town? He didn’t get married and have a child, but acknowledged a twelve-year-old child as his granddaughter and even let this child inherit the only medicine shop he had?”

“Yes,” the subordinate replied.

Shopkeeper Zhou simply couldn’t believe the information he had just heard from his subordinate.

He had never expected that the young master Lin from 30 years ago, who was so famous in Qingfeng provincial city, would actually live in a corner like an ordinary person. He did not have a wife or children, and he even acknowledged a child who had no blood relationship with him as his granddaughter.

So that amazing young master Lin was actually in such a bad state?

'',

Seeing that his master was silent, the subordinate hesitated and said, ” master, according to the information from the investigation, the granddaughter that Lin Deshan acknowledged is quite capable. Although she’s only 12 years old, her medical skills are superb, and she saved a few dying patients. She’s known as the ‘little Divine Doctor’ by the local people. Since the medicine shop was handed over to her, there has been an endless stream of people coming to see her and get medicine every day.”

When shopkeeper Zhou heard this, his expression changed. He did not believe it and asked, “Is what you said true? ”

“Yes, master!” The subordinate nodded.

Shopkeeper Zhou thought of the reason why he had sent people to investigate Lin Deshan. He asked, ” did you find out who Lin Deshan got the milkvetch flower from? ”

The subordinate shook his head. “I didn’t manage to investigate this. However, according to my guess, ” the subordinate said, “This person is probably his granddaughter.”

Upon hearing such an answer, shopkeeper Zhou was surprised. “How is that possible? ”

Then, the subordinate told him the reason for his guess.

After hearing his subordinate’s analysis, shopkeeper Zhou fell silent for a long time.

After some time, he asked again, “What’s the recent operation outside? ”

The subordinate reported, ” Jin Yuan Chen Shan Biao, Zeng Ji medicine shop, Li Ji medicine shop, Zhang Ji medical shop, and the richest man in Qing city, Li Fazhi, and a few others. They all seem to be investigating the origin of the milkvetch flower.”

Upon hearing the report, shopkeeper Zhou was a little angry. He shouted sternly, “Damn them!” All of them wanted to cut off his source of income. Did they really think that he was easy to bully?

Immediately after, he instructed, “secretly recall the people you sent to Ning An town.” He had to be careful. He couldn’t let them discover any unusual actions. “You must know that they are all watching our Guangju Yuan.”

“Yes, this subordinate will do as you command!” The subordinate asked, “But, master, why are we withdrawing?”

Shopkeeper Zhou said, “We are already being watched. If they find out that we actually sent people to that small place for no reason, it will definitely arouse their suspicion. When that time comes, I’m afraid we won’t be able to stop them.”

The subordinate immediately replied, ” I understand. I’ll get my men to retreat carefully!”

“Go! Be careful.” Shopkeeper Zhou waved his hand.
