When Zhang Jin came into the room, he saw that both his father and his mother were straight faced, and the atmosphere was not very good.
"Mother, what's the matter?"
Zhang said, "I asked your father to take back the two liang silver he lent to the Lu family. Your father didn't want to come back."
Zhang Cheng said awkwardly, "the Lu family has just finished their work. They have invited so many people to dinner, but they are not well off."
"The Lu family invited a lot of people, but didn't they collect a lot of money?" Zhang Jindao.
Hearing his son's words, Zhang Cheng took a cigarette and didn't speak.
Zhang snorted and said, "I think the old lady of the Lu family wants to take advantage of the silver and not return it. It's not enough."
Zhang Cheng took a look at Zhang and said, "what are you talking about? The Lu family has so much land that it can depend on us for so little money. "
"That's not good?" Zhang Shi saw Zhang Cheng's look, but he didn't do much entanglement on this issue. "Lu Chengyu picked up such a girl. It's not as good as those girls in our village. I really don't know what Tang Shi thought."
"That's my sister-in-law. She's different from a girl in the country." Zhang Chengdao.
Zhang turned his eyes and sneered: "it's different. At first sight, it's not a person who can work. Now there are only a group of lazy people left in the Lu family."
Zhang Cheng cut Zhang's eye and said, "what nonsense."
Zhang Jin thought to himself: there's nothing wrong with what my mother said. The Lu family used to work in the second room. There was no one in the second room. The old man and the old lady had to go to the field. That's why they couldn't finish it. There are not many people in the Lu family who can work now.
Lu Chengyu's affair was discussed for a while, and was soon replaced by the news of Lu Tong's marriage.
Compared with Lu Chengyu's marriage, the marriage of Li's family is much easier. Li Ji is not the first to get married, but Lu Tong's marriage is over. Lu's family is a little short of money recently, and they haven't prepared too much for Lu Tong.
The first night Lu Tong married, something happened.
Li Ji's son came to his new house in the middle of the night to find his father, which mixed up Lu Tong's and Li Ji's wedding night.
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi went to town and sold another batch of wine.
When Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi finish the handover, they just hear someone talking in the restaurant. Lu Lin takes a sneak look and finds that it's Li Hong, Li fangyue's second brother.
A few drunken friends of Li Hung Kuo were talking about something.
Lu Lin also asked shopkeeper Wang about the Li family before, so shopkeeper Wang knew the relationship between Lu Lin and Li Hong.
Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said, "after Li fangyue got married, Li Hong has been here many times."
Lu Lin raised his lips slightly. He also heard that most of Li fangyue's betrothal gifts were left in Li's family. According to Li's love for Li Hong, most of the money should have fallen into Li Hong's pocket.
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi secretly listened for a while.
Because it's Li Hong's treat, several people are holding Li Hong and chasing him.
Someone also asked about the marriage of Lu Chengyu and Li fangyue. A young man was full of sour air. Lu Lin was very generous and willing to give so many betrothal gifts.
Li Hong is flattered by the public. In his words, he has a lot of disdain for Lu Chengyu, saying that Lu Chengyu is a mud legged son who is digging for food in the countryside. Even if he reads a book, he can't change his family background. If it wasn't for his rich betrothal gifts, his family wouldn't marry his sister to Lu Lin.
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi listened for a while, and they walked away in silence.
Lu Chengyu has miscalculated this time. " He chose a daughter-in-law to pick wanxuan. Before that, he didn't think that the girl in the village was worthy of him. He had to wait another year. As a result, he became such a family. "
Li Hong's attitude is the same. I'm afraid the master will not take Lu Chengyu's family seriously.
Li Hong has been very smart recently. Many people know that her eldest sister married the master. However, the master doesn't like their relative very much. Li Hong has been treated coldly several times when she comes to the house, and his elder sister doesn't like her family to come to the house. Others don't know. However, Li Hong knows that her eldest sister is a little girl for others. After several times, she seldom goes to the master's house The door is closed.
Li Hong originally thought that Li fangyue, the third sister, was much worse than her elder sister. She lost money and couldn't find a good mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, Lu Chengyu fell in love with her.
Although the Li family is a family in the town, they don't have much money to make a living. The little money they usually earn from shops is used to decorate their appearance. Therefore, Li Hong doesn't have much money on him. The Lu family sent 30 Liang betrothal gifts to Li hongkuo.
According to Li Hong's original meaning, he collected all thirty taels of silver. However, Li's father still had some feelings for his daughter and left five taels for Li fangyue.
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi sold a batch of wine, collected 16 Liang silver, and then broke off their teeth.
Among them, more than a dozen people lived in a shabby house. Lu Lin saw that there were two seven or eight year old girls among them. They were yellow and skinny. They looked very pitiful.
Although the children looked very pitiful, Lu Lin didn't plan to take them home. There were still two small children in the family, and there was such a problem as wheat. It was not helpful to get so many children home and take care of them."What kind of person does the boss want?" he asked excitedly.
"If you want a woman who can cook, you'd better have some embroidery skills." Chen Xiaomi's meals are usually cooked by Lu Lin. however, Lu Lin still has to find someone to cook if he wants to take care of his business in the future. "If you want another man, you'd better have some strength."
When Yazi heard Lu Lin's words, he had something to say. Yazi introduced a family of three to Lu Lin, who were originally servants of a wealthy family. The family offended the master's family and was sold.
Lu Lin saw that both husband and wife had cocoons on their hands. He seemed to be used to gravity work and was slightly satisfied.
There are several pretty girls in the dental shop. They were supposed to serve in rich families. One of them costs twenty Liang silver. It seems that they are not able to work.
The population in this era is very cheap. Basically, one person can be bought at the price of one mu of land. In recent years, wars have been frequent, leaving many orphans. The price of children is not very valuable. Two adults sold them to Lu Lin for 10 liang of silver, and their children made a tie-in.
Lu Lin accepted the deed of sale of three members of ten thousand families, and temporarily placed several people in the newly bought house in the town.
Lu Lin went to the countryside and took the vegetables and wheat to the town.
Wheat saw the house and was shocked.
"Big brother, we will live here in the future?" Asked wheat.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "yes."
Wheat some suspicious way: "big brother, this house is so big, where come from?"
Chen Xiaomi tells Chen Xiaocai that the house is a rich man. He just helps people to look after the house. As for the three servants in the house, they were left by the former rich man. Chen Xiaocai is not very clear about how much money he has at home. Hearing Chen Xiaomi's explanation, he immediately feels that the matter is reasonable.
Chen Xiaocai knows that elder brother has made some money recently, but he never thought that elder brother has enough money to afford the house in the town.
Chen Xiaocai pulled Chen Xiaomi's sleeve and said, "brother, how about we live here? What shall we eat? "
"Don't worry, we'll show people the house, and the rich man will give us money." Chen Xiaomi tells Chen Xiaocai about Lu Lin's excuse.
Chen Xiaocai is full of surprised way: "unexpectedly still have such rich owner."
In Chen Xiaocai's eyes, the rich people are not benevolent for their wealth. In fact, they are. Many rich households are big moneybags, holding a lot of land in their hands and renting it out. Every year, they live on the land rent. The villagers in the village work hard every year, but they even have food and clothing problems all the year round.
Chen Xiaocai can't help but feel a little incredible when he hears that his eldest brother meets a very kind rich man who can help to look after the house and get paid.
Lu Lin took the money pot out of the store. Xiaomi counted the silver in the money pot and said, "there are only forty Liang left."
Chen Xiaomi scratched his hair, vaguely worried.
Lu Lin laughed and said, "it's a little fast, but isn't there forty Liang left?" When he just arrived at Chen Xiaomi, the Chen family didn't even have ten liang of silver. Now the situation is very good. They can still sell wine.
Chen Xiaomi took a look at Lu Lin and said, "you bought so many cloth. Do you want to make the bag you said?" Recently, in addition to buying people, another big expense is to buy cloth. I have bought a lot of cloth of different materials.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "yes!"
Lu Lin took out a ballpoint pen and notebook and drew various styles of bags for Chen Xiaomi.
Chen Xiaomi has never seen such a magic pen or such a piece of paper. For a moment, he was stunned. Chen Xiaomi grabbed the pen and paper Lu Lin took out. He looked at it for a long time and marveled for a long time.
Seeing all kinds of bags painted by Lu Lin, Chen Xiaomi faintly feels that he is hopeful of getting rich.
Are these all the bags of your world? " Chen Xiaomi some surprised way.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "yes! The bags in our world are valuable. A bag can buy dozens of pigs. " In the past, tens of thousands of bags have emerged one after another, and there are many millions of bags. I'm not afraid that you are expensive, but I'm afraid that you are not expensive enough.
Chen Xiaomi was puzzled and said: "how can there be such a stupid person? What's the use of bags? Where can there be pigs?"
"Personal pursuit is different. Some people like bags." An expensive bag can best reflect a person's value. "Moreover, these people don't worry about eating meat." Of course, there are people who live frugally to buy a bag, but that's only a few. Most of the people who buy famous brand bags are people who have no money to spend.
Chen Xiaomi some envious way: "dundundun can eat meat?"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "well, you can eat meat at once."
The price of meat in previous lives is not expensive. It's not difficult to eat meat. However, when you don't eat meat, you think about it every day. If you really eat too much, you will want to be vegetarian again.
Chen Xiaomi some worry way: "this bag looks, production difficulty is not big, if people learn to go, that also won't make much money."Lu Lin nodded and said, "I've thought about that too. However, it's still difficult to make some bags. In order to avoid being learned, I'd like to let people divide the work, let a helper be responsible for one link, and then let our people do the final integration."
Although this should still be unable to prevent the leakage of some practices, it should be able to delay for a while, as long as they make a brand, they don't have to worry about being imitated.
Chen Xiaomi looked at the sample map drawn by Lu Lin, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
Chen Xiaomi gave the notebook to Lu Lin and said, "put it away first. Don't let people see it."
Lu Lin nodded, wondering when to buy some ink, paper and inkstone. Although ball point pen and notebook are convenient, they are too abrupt.
Chen Xiaomi and he made some money selling gloves before, which seems to have caused a lot of discussion among villagers. If people knew that they had bought such a big house in the town, they would be envious.
