Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Someone's Got Her Eyes on Cai

Quite a number of people in the village had been doing busines with Lu Lin recently. They had really earned a lot of money through that.

Previously, there were villagers who made embroidery products and sold them in town, the buyers would often force the price down, so that the profits would be relatively low. However, the Sino Commercial House would always offer a fair price when they received the embroidery products. Basically, as long as the quality was good, the commercial house would offer them an irresistible price.

The villagers made money, and they started to talk the Chen brothers and Lu Lin up.

In the yard, a few embroiderers gathered together to do embroideries.

"Two days ago, my husband took my embroidery to the Sino Commercial House. Guess what he saw," the woman said proudly.

"What did he see?! Just tell us!"

The woman said, "He saw something called full moon-shaped fans in the store. The coverings of the fans were made of cloth and the embroideries on some of them were mine. I think they have made all of our embroideries into fans!"

"I also heard that the embroidery we made seems to have been made into fans. They were sold for 200 cents each several days ago. The price seems to have dropped a little recently, but it's still very expensive."

"Two hundred cents! That is really expensive. What do those people in town think? With that amount of money, you can buy dozens of palm-leaf fans!"

Palm-leaf fans were affordable, but many poor people were reluctant to buy a new one unless the old ones were worn out.

"We think it's expensive, but those rich masters and ladies are thinking otherwise. I heard that when this fan first came out, many people bought it in a dozen or so."

"Let's hurry up and make more embroidery. When the weather gets cold, I'm afraid the commercial house won't sell fans. Let's work hard while there is still a market for our products."

"Granny Shen is the luckiest of all! She has made friends with Lu Lin early on. She must have made a lot of money in town already.

"I heard that Zhang Xiuhe wanted Granny Shen's job, but Lu Lin didn't agree."

"That Zhang Xiuhe is so bold. Lu Lin has already hired Granny Shen, how can she just walk into the shop and ask Lu Lin to fire Granny Shen and give her the job! " In fact, many women in the village were envious of Granny Shen's work. However, even though they were envious, no one had thought about replacing Granny Shen.

"Zhang Xiuhe is the Village Head's sister after all."

"And that allows her to be unreasonable?" Zhang Cheng the Village Head was well respected in the village, therefore, a woman smiled and changed the topic. "When my husband went to the shop, he saw Chen Xiao Cai standing behind the counter, acting like the shopkeeper and giving orders. Young as he is, he looked so confident and experienced! He deals with taels of silver with such poise."

"Chen Xiao Cai is getting more and more capable. In my opinion, I don't get it why so many villagers out such high hopes on their kids on becoming scholars and officials in the future, I say Xiao Cai has set a good example for the kids in the village, they can just learn a skill and get a job!"

......

At dusk, Lu An returned home from town. "Did you get paid today?" Lin Xiu'er asked.

Lu An nodded. "Yeah, but my boss deducts 200 cents from my wage on some dumb excuse."
