Chapter 17

Lin Xiaoman inquired and found the wall-painting craftsman, and took their father and son back.

Still far away, I saw many people gathered in front of my shop, and Lin Erhu yelled loudly inside, "Clam oil, clam oil, don't crack your hands after using it, don't crack your feet after using it, and turn your aunt into a sister-in-law after using it up. Don’t miss it when you pass by, the useful clam oil costs only five cents a piece, you can’t get a loss if you can’t buy it, and you can’t be fooled by it.”

The wall painter couldn't help laughing, "Whose kid is this? He sounds young, but he knows how to do business. There's a whole set of little words."

Lin Xiaoman looked proud, "That's my brother! He was smart since he was a child!"

The wall painter showed envy, and gave a thumbs up, "Your brother is amazing, much better than my son."

"Thank you, thank you! I also think my brother is amazing." Lin Xiaoman smiled blindly.

The wall painter was confused by her lack of humility. It is said that he praised people like this, and he should be polite when he was praised. Why did this girl hit the snake with a stick?
No wonder her brother was able to yell flowers in the street at a young age, and his thick-skinned is all in the same line.

Looking back at his stupid son who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks, the wall painter was terribly jealous.

After agreeing with the wall painter to contract labor and materials, Lin Xiaoman went out to help Lin Erhu sell clam oil after finishing painting for [-] Wen a day.

The people in the county had never seen clam oil before, and they were attracted by Lin Erhu's yelling, and Lin Erhu took one for others to try.

Although they are all from the city, most of them are ordinary people. Those with better conditions will put some lard on their hands, while those with poor conditions are reluctant to bear it.

A woman who was washing clothes for others tried some of it, and immediately felt that her hands were much smoother, and it smelled a little bit fragrant.

They can also earn tens of pennies a day doing laundry. Seeing that a box of clam oil for five pennies can be used for several days, they bought two boxes without any distress, and stood in front of the stall refusing to leave.

Buy three for this one and two for that one, and the business is looking good.

"Boy, if your clam oil is useful, I will introduce someone to buy it later, what benefits will you give me?"

Lin Erhu thanked repeatedly, "Then I would like to thank Auntie, next time you introduce someone to come, buy five boxes and I will give one box away."

The woman fell into deep thought when she heard this, Lin Xiaoman hurriedly said: "It's opening today, my aunt wants to buy five boxes, and I'll give one box too."

The woman didn't hesitate this time, "I bought two boxes, and I bought three more boxes, will you give me one box?"

"Success, you haven't left the stall yet, so why not?"

After finishing speaking, after the woman handed over fifteen Wen, I handed her another four boxes of clam oil.

The people next to me heard that buy five boxes and get one free. After the trial, the effect is not bad, and they all offered money to buy five boxes and get one free.

The wall painter asked his son to work in the house, and he came out from time to time to take a look. He was also surprised by the business, squeezed into the crowd, picked up a big lump of clam oil for trial use, and rubbed it on his hands. After wiping, he sighed: "It's so fragrant. It's better than the rouge my daughter-in-law bought."

Lin Xiaoman smiled at him, others tried to pick a little, but he picked out half of the box at once, seeing that his hands were oilier than a butcher's.

The wall painter discussed with Lin Xiaoman, "Boss, my father and I are working here, so you don't need to provide lunch at noon. Give me six boxes, and I will take them back to the child's mother."

"Success, I happen to be too busy."

Although it didn't cost 25 cents to provide a meal at noon, Lin Xiaoman still handed him six boxes of clam oil. After all, it costs less than [-] cents per box in wholesale.

The wall painter happily accepted the clam oil, and his work speed was much faster.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu were busy collecting money, and the other was busy counting the clam oil. Excluding the six boxes for the wall painters, the remaining four boxes of 190 were sold out before noon, with a total income of more than 800 yuan.

In the morning, the father and son of the wall painters polished the wall with straw. The soaked lime had to wait another hour before the wall could be painted. The father and son took out the iron bucket they brought and put it on the stove outside to cook a bucket of glutinous rice.

It is said that the boiled glutinous rice water is poured into the lime to paint the walls, the walls will be smoother, and the leftover rice from the boiled water, the father and the father just take it for lunch.

Seeing the wall painter take out two sticks of salted radish from his pocket, Lin Xiaoman guessed that he used to paint walls in other people's houses for something, so he let people skip lunch.

Let Lin Erhu guard here, and she ran all the way home by herself, went there to wholesale another [-] boxes of clam oil, and asked the proprietress to help tear off all the stickers on it.

This time, she took out all the stock from the wholesale store last time, and went to other people's homes to get some.

It was already afternoon when we returned to the county seat, and the father and son of the wall painter had finished painting half of the wall.

Lin Erhu was sitting in front of the door, and people would come over from time to time to ask if there was any clam oil for sale, and the first one in the front was the washerwoman who was the first to buy five and get one free in the morning.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman come back, the woman shouted, "Here we come! We come!"

Those who didn't go far gathered around, and when Lin Xiaoman put the big basket of clam oil on the table, someone handed over the money.

The woman smiled, "I went to work at Mr. Chen's house in the morning, and the maids of the Chen family saw that I was applying clam oil, so they asked me to buy a few boxes. Girl, I'm going to buy thirty boxes this time. You can buy more." Send a few boxes."

Lin Xiaoman counted out thirty boxes and put them in the basket brought by the woman. He counted out six boxes of gifts and put them in. Finally, he grabbed another handful for the woman, "Auntie, come and take care of business next time."

The woman was very happy when she got the gift, "Sure, sure, I will ask who else wants to buy it when I work together."

Five hundred boxes of clam oil were sold, less than half of them were left in the evening, and the wall painter and his son had already finished their work and left with their wages.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu wanted to leave the city before the gate of the city was closed, put the unsold clam oil back into the basket, trotted all the way, and finally left the city before the gate of the city was closed.

When I got home, I counted, excluding the wages for painting the walls, I still had nearly 200 cash left today, which is only [-] boxes of clam oil short of the three liang of the big iron pot.

Waking up early, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu went there again to wholesale more clam oil, but yesterday those two companies were out of stock, and after asking several companies, they were all out of stock.

The siblings are in a hurry. Will the new business they just found disappear like this?How are they going to earn enough three taels of silver?

Lin Xiaoman took out his mobile phone and searched online, and finally chose a shop that sells clam oil, and found that clam oil was divided into different sizes, large, medium and small. They sold the smallest one before.

I placed an order for [-] boxes of each of the three specifications, and the address was left at a courier station next to the park.

I found a breakfast shop on the street. While eating, the siblings discussed that today's clam oil must not be enough to sell, should we do some other business?
After discussing it, I finally decided to take the pots and stoves at home to the county seat to see if I can start the hot pot business first.
