Chapter 16 It’s great not to take advantage of others!

 After learning that Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu are the children of the couple who bought this shop last year, and that their parents passed away last year, someone lamented: “Your parents had good intentions in buying the shop;

If you don’t have good vision, your shop is the most remote among the surrounding shops, and you won’t be able to do any business.”

"But no, three companies have been sold in just five years. If you siblings are short of money, sell the shop as soon as possible to get some money. I heard that your parents didn't have enough money to buy the shop last year, and your mother even pawned a lot of it as dowry.



I heard that my mother pawned a lot of dowry to buy the shop, but not all of it was taken by the grandparents. The two siblings felt much better.

It doesn’t matter whether the location of the shop is good or not, and it doesn’t matter whether it makes money or not. It’s great that my mother’s dowry is not cheaper than others!

Lin Xiaoman thanked a few others and found a stone to break open the rusty lock on the door.

The person who rented the shop before had not left for a long time, and apart from some remaining tatters, it was not too dirty. It was just that the window paper was seriously damaged.

There is also a small yard behind the shop, and there are two stoves built against the wall, which can be used when you are busy.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu went to buy a bucket, a basin and a broom.

Then I went to a well not far away to fetch water, found a relatively good piece of cloth in a pile of rags, and started to wipe away the dust.

After a busy morning, they finally cleaned up the shop. The siblings ate a bowl of wontons at the wonton shop next to them. They were thinking of bringing more things over tomorrow. They first painted the walls with a layer of white dust and then replaced the window paper.

.

On the way back, he found a blacksmith shop and ordered three pots, two normal large iron pots and one large nine-grid iron pot. Lin Xiaoman also drew a simple diagram with charcoal strips. After explaining the sizes, the blacksmith asked him to come back in five days.

Take.

When asked about the price, it cost 3,000 yuan, so Lin Xiaoman could only pay a deposit of 100 yuan.

The most important thing right now is to make money, otherwise the money to buy the iron pot will be gone.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, I went to the nearby grocery store and inquired about the price of bowls. A palm-sized pottery bowl costs three cents.

Lin Erhu pulled Lin Xiaoman out, "Sister, I think the bowls sold at the two-yuan store over there are really good-looking. How about we go there and buy them?"

Lin Xiaoman thought of what Grandma Liu said about online shopping. Although they don't have a delivery address there, I saw that many people went to a place called a post station to pick up online shopping. They might be able to buy some things online.

It was already afternoon when they got home, and both siblings were thinking about how to make enough money in the iron pot. Although they already had tens of thousands of dollars there, they only had a few dozen coins left in their hands here.

.

It just so happened that it was still early in the day, so they also found out how to get to the wholesale market over there. The two siblings changed their clothes and went there.

In order to save time, Lin Xiaoman stopped a taxi on the side of the road, told him where he wanted to go, and arrived in less than ten minutes.

After paying the eight yuan fare, Lin Erhu sighed after getting off the bus: "Sister, the cars here are much more comfortable than riding in carriages. We will also buy a bigger one in the future." Lin Xiaoman agreed, but

It's a pity that I can't take it back there.

After entering the wholesale market, the siblings took a look around first and asked about the prices. They found that they were much cheaper than in supermarkets. Thinking of what they bought at home, Lin Xiaoman began to feel distressed and regretted that he should have taken revenge after making money.

Consumption.

Fortunately, I didn’t buy too much before, but I’ll have to budget carefully in the future.

One person bought a large backpack and bought 200 clam oils for less than 50 yuan for 100 pieces.

Lin Xiaoman's hands have become much softer after using Vaseline paste bought in the supermarket, but the packaged one is not easy to take back and sell, so there is no need to worry about the clam oil. As long as you peel off the trademark on it, no one can do it.

You won't know that this thing doesn't belong to them. If you sell it for five cents each, there will be many people in the city willing to buy it.

Standing in front of a stall selling bowls and plates, I looked at all the bowls that were exquisite and beautiful, but no matter how beautiful they were, I couldn’t buy them back.

A bowl that looks ordinary here is more exquisite and beautiful than a bowl from a wealthy family over there. If they use it, it will be thrown away in a few days.

Finally, Lin Xiaoman picked up a pottery bowl that was very similar to the bowl at home, "Boss, how did you sell this bowl?"

After looking at it, the boss said: "This is a small bowl you got, it costs two yuan a piece. If you buy ten or more, it is wholesale, it costs a yuan eight a piece. There are also big ones, do you want to take a look?"

Lin Xiaoman nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

The boss entered the back stock area and soon took out a stack of bowls, with more than a dozen bowls of different sizes and styles.

After Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu read each one, they finally chose four sizes of bowls and a clay pot that could be placed on the charcoal stove. The size was just enough for Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu.

.

I bought a hundred bowls of each type, only twenty earthenware pots, and ten earthenware stoves.

The boss happily moved out from the back. The siblings carefully picked out the ones with cracks or uneven glazes. The final calculation cost more than a thousand.

The boss stacked up the pots and stoves and tied them up with packing ropes, while Lin Xiaoman stared at the glass wine glass on his stall and couldn't walk.

She has been here for so long, and it’s not like she has never used a glass.

Glass is sold very cheap here, but over there it’s called glass, and it’s more expensive than gold.

Even if you don’t sell it, you can keep it for yourself and use it secretly.

Lin Xiaoman picked up a set of pink fishtail cups simply packed in a cardboard box, "Boss, how do you sell this?"

The boss had just sold so many bowls and was very happy. He looked at the cup in Lin Xiaoman's hand and asked, "How many sets do you want?"

Lin Xiaoman pointed to the cardboard box and said: "I'll take all six of them in this box."

The boss waved his hand and said, "This box costs ten yuan. If you buy a lot today, I won't pay for it. I'll give it to you! I'll need to introduce someone to take care of the business in the future."

"Definitely, thank you, boss!" Lin Xiaoman thanked him cheerfully, took the fishtail cup and stuffed it into his backpack.

Oops, buying more and giving less can attract business. I’ve learned another trick.

Seeing that two people couldn't carry these things, they had to call a car to help deliver them. The siblings stored the things here first, and then went to other places to see what they could buy.

I also bought several large bags of bamboo skewers for skewers, and a lot of base ingredients for hot pot.

I found a tricycle at the wholesale market and moved the dishes, pots and stoves I bought to the car, and soon we were outside the park.

No outside vehicles were allowed in the park, so Lin Xiaoman asked Lin Erhu to look at things outside. She moved back and forth again and again, with endless strength all over her body.

After a night's rest at home, the siblings carried a large basket on their backs the next day, which contained clam oil they had wholesaled.

Lin Erhu was asked to set up a table in front of the shop and put some clam oil on the table to sell, while she went to find the craftsmen.
