Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Fullmoon-shaped Fan

With two stores in hand, plus Lu Lin had been launching new designs from time to time, the business of Sino Commercial House was not bad, and the income was stable.

Lu Lin was still doing the wine-making business.

"Lu Lin, is it true you have something called fridge in your hometown?. You can have ice in summer?"

"Yes! The benefits of fridge are too many."

"Do you know how to make a fridge?" Chen Xiao Mi looked at Lu Lin with admiration.

'Chen Xiao Mi, you think too highly of him. Although I've learned some circuit issues on my physics books, but I have forgotten them all. "No, I don't."

Chen Xiao Mi sighed, "It's a pity."

Lu Lin smiled. "If you want ice in this summer, you don't have to have a fridge. It seems like there are some kind of stone called saltpeter that can absorb a large amount of heat in the water and condense water into ice. However, I'm not sure whether it's actually feasible."

Chen Xiao Mi narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard that there is ice in summer in the Imperial Palace."

In this time and space, it was not impossible to use ice in summer. The most common method was to create an ice cellar. Most of the ice cellars were built underground. In winter, the ice was stored in the ice cellar to isolate light and heat and you could use the ice stored in the cellar in summer.

But all ice cellars were built at tremendous cost, it was not something the common people could afford. It was usually a luxury for members of the imperial house.

Lu Lin held his chin and said, "Let's not covet stuff that only the Emperor can enjoy."

Chen Xiao Mi pulled over a piece of cloth and said doubtfully, "You recently found some embroidery ladies in the village and you asked them to work on some strange things!"

Lu Lin laughed and shook his head, "We are not making strange things. I think it's a little boring to only sell schoolbags, so I want to sell full moon-shaped fans."

A while ago, many people in the village came over to ask him if he was hiring embroidery ladies. The business in the store was on the right track now, they didn't need to hire any more embroidery ladies. If Lu Lin hired new workers and replace them with the old ones, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction, not to mention that Lu Lin did not want to change people.

It was easy to offend people if he just spurned them. Lu Lin just told the villagers that he was going to buy some delicate embroidery products recently. If people in the village embroidered any embroidery, they could come to him and he would pay a handsome price.

"Full-moon shaped fan? What is that?"

"It's a round fan made of cloth or other fabric, it is an accessory popular with ladies."

"Is it also something from your hometown?"

Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yeah!" The fans here were divided into two types. One was palm-leaf fan and the other was folding paper fan.

The price of a palm-leaf fan was very cheap, you could get one with 5 cents. Paper fans were more pricy, it varied from 10 cents to several tales of silver, all depend on the craftsmanship and the artist who painted or inscribed on the fan.

Lu Lin nodded, "Yeah! I wanted to make full moon-shaped fans, other fans are so boring, I love it the artists can do landscape painting, ink painting, flower-and-bird painting on full moon-shaped fans."

Most of the fans used by the young ladies were paper fans. No one in this time and space had come up with the idea of making full-moon shaped fans.

Recently, it was getting hotter and hotter. He should be able to take the opportunity to make a profit.
