Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lin Lanhua was instructed by Old Madam Lin to go to the kitchen to cook. However, she had never cooked before, so the food she made was almost inedible.
Old Madam Lin hit and scolded Lin Lanhua. She only calmed down after hearing Lin Yuanshan’s words of comfort.
Then, he brought Lin Lanhua to the kitchen to cook again.
The next day, the news of the Lin family splitting up reached Lin Xiaoyue.
It was actually Li Laishun who told her about it.
He said that his grandfather had gone to the Lin family to preside over the separation of the family. Moreover, he helped them with the new household registration.
After hearing about the Lin family’s situation, Lin Xiaoyue mocked them in her heart.
For someone like Lin Yuanshan, it was only a matter of time before he drained his family’s money…
After learning about the Lin family’s situation and confirming that they would not cause her any more trouble, Lin Xiaoyue was in a good mood.
Then, she went to see the village’s craftsman, Li Mie.
She wanted to by some wicker baskets to prepare the chilics and spicy skewers.
Li Mieand his wife were very enthusiastic when they saw Lin Xiaoyue.
They also learned that Lin Xiaoyue wanted to buy a lot, so they became even more enthusiastic.
“8 large and 4 medium wicker baskets. 4 large and 4 medium sieves,” Lin Xiaoyue said.
“So many?” Li Mie’s eyes lit up.
“Yes. We need them in the shop, so I want to buy more.”
“Please calculate how much they cost,” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
“Alright, give me a moment!” Li Mie hurriedly said.
Then, he got up and went into the house to take out the abacus, pen, and paper.
Then, he confirmed the items with Lin Xiaoyue.
“According to the market price, it’s a total of 2 taels and 80 wen. You bought a lot, and we’re from the same village, so you just have to pay 1 tael and 80 wen!” Li Mie said.
“In addition, since you bought a lot, if you’re not in a hurry, I’ll deliver the goods in 10 days. What do you think?”
Besides selling bamboo tools in the village, he also regularly supplied them to a shop in town. There wasn’t much time left to finish this batch of goods.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.
“Deal! 10 days is just in time. I’ll pay you 1 tael of silver as a deposit first.”
“Haha, sure! 1’11 send them to you when it’s done!” Li Miejiang said.
Lin Xiaoyue took out a tael of silver from her pocket and handed it to Li Mie.
“Thank you Uncle Li.”
“You’re welome!”
“By the way, Uncle Li, if you’re free, can you make me some bamboo sticks?” Lin Xiaoyue suddenly thought of something and asked Li Mie.
“What kind of bamboo sticks?”
The price per unit he sold to the shop in town was low. Moreover, they only bought a limited amount of goods every month. He could not earn much money from that.
It was much more cost-effective for him to sell to the villagers than supply them to the shop in town.
Lin Xiaoyue immediately explained to him.
There was bamboo in Li Mie’s yard. Based on Lin Xiaoyue’s description, he quickly made the bamboo stick that she described.
“I need thousands of them. Can you help me? If yes, what’s the price?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.
When the chilies were produced, she would be able to make spicy sauce. Then, she could sell spicy skewers in the eatery.
She would need a lot of bamboo sticks then..
