Chapter 291 The Joy of Counting Coins
The copper coins piled up on the table, with pointed ends.
A lot of silver coins and strung hundred-cent notes were exposed inside.
"It's time to count the coppers!"
At Lin Shu's command, Old Man Qing, Old Man Hu, the second brother, Lin Hongyi, and Wu Chuntao, who were sitting around the table, came forward.
They all started working together, among whom Lin Shu, Old Man Qing and the second brother were the fastest at counting the coins.
Wu Chuntao went from stumbling at first to becoming proficient in the end.
In order to ensure the accuracy of each string of copper coins, Baozi and Heizi used their sharp teeth to bite off the ropes.
"The total amount of copper coins is 4,100 strings, and 20 taels of silver.
The total is six hundred and ten taels of silver."
Lin Hongyi's face turned red when he counted.
It’s not that he has never seen silver, but that he has seen too much.
This is earned through hard work with your own hands.
Feel at ease.
"After deducting the cost of 183 taels, the remaining 427 taels is our profit," Lin Shu reminded.
"There are also costs for the benefits given to the team members and defective products."
The caravan members can estimate how much profit they can make, and this money is a temptation for everyone.
“Raincoats can only make quick money if you are prepared.
When there are more counterfeits on the market, profits will decrease.
Within three days, imitations will appear in the county government." Lin Shu said confidently.
“It’s possible, there is no shortage of smart people in the world.
Especially for businessmen with a keen sense of smell, the rainy season in the south is longer.
We can take action once in every county and provincial capital.
No matter how big the trouble is, let the businessmen worry about it. "
Old Man Qing agreed with his disciple's words very much. Food, drink and accommodation along the way would cost a lot of money.
A master not only has to support his disciples, but also has to support a group of people below him.
It’s embarrassing to say.
We should stay in Zhuohuai County for a few more days and catch a few bandits with bounties on their heads.
...
Zhuohuai County.
It was the most prosperous city the caravan had ever seen along the way.
Lin Shu had to stop because she wanted to find new business opportunities.
The caravan rented a large yard at a daily price.
Lin Hongyi took Mrs. Xu and Aunt An to buy rainproof cloth every day.
As soon as Qing Xiaotian settled down, he disappeared and Lin Shu didn't take it seriously.
Who doesn't have a few friends?
Lin Shu left two guards at home, wearing cool men's clothes with their arms and legs exposed.
He wore a bamboo hat to protect himself from the sun, waved a small palm-leaf fan, and carried a small cloth bag that he always carried with him.
Chuntao was wearing a southern girl's dress, wiping her sweat with an embroidered handkerchief in one hand and holding a round fan in the other.
The second young man in blue tights served as the two men's henchman, responsible for carrying bags, shouldering tasks, and doing the hard work.
The streets are filled with a wide variety of brightly colored goods.
There are so many varieties that it is hard to take it all in.
Lin Shu suddenly smelled bursts of fruity fragrance, as if she had fallen into a nest of blessings.
Lychee, bayberry, durian, strawberry, and cherry, the bright colors make people's appetites whet.
'咻~'
Lin Shu disappeared in an instant, and Chuntao was so scared that she turned around in place.
"It's over, it's over, my little cousin is gone."
"in front of!"
The second brother silently lifted Chuntao's collar and asked her to look at the little mouse that fell into the pile of fruits.
Lin Shu tasted a cherry on her left and a bayberry on her right.
Although she had fruits, the varieties were very limited.
Nowadays, when you see fruits, you must try more.
I bought more because it tasted good.
"Hey, whose child is this, wasting fruit like this?
But Yuxue's cute appearance is really lovable. If no one wants her, I can take her away." An old woman who was selecting fruits stared at Lin Shu and said.
"There are lots and lots of fruits. I'll go with you." Lin Shu said with an idiotic look on her face.
"What you want is not available here, but there is a place where you can find it." The old woman said deliberately showing off.
There was no response for a long time.
It turned out that the vendor had pulled the child behind him to block him.
He didn't dare to let the person go for the moment, as he would be kidnapped if he took less than three steps.
How would he explain this to the child's family? He would suffer a lot if he fell into the hands of the government.
After the famine, Zhuohuai County promulgated a new regulation prohibiting the trafficking of children for profit.
When Xiaoerge and Chuntao arrived, Lin Shu's face was already covered with juice from eating, and she didn't care about what was happening outside at all.
"Burp, I bought them all!"
She stared at the durian that she had not yet tasted. This was her ultimate goal.
"okay!"
The one who reacted the fastest was the vendor, who quickly weighed and packed the fruits.
Finally, he gave the basket to Lin Shu and received three taels of silver.
The three of them each carried a basket and ate as they walked.
As a man, the second brother was embarrassed in the beginning, but then he became as resolute as a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
Seasonal fruits can not only nourish the body, but also bring a happy mood.
Lin Shu started shopping again and rented a horse carriage to pull the fruits back to the yard.
Everyone in the hospital had a fruit feast, and an extra nursery area was created in the space.
...
Lin Shu really wanted to take a lot of fruit on the road and sell fruit smoothies along the way.
You can make a fortune from this variety alone, but I know that this is unrealistic.
There is money to be made, but there is no opportunity.
[Alas, the limitations of the times! ]
Lin Shu could only sigh at the fruit, she believed that one day her wish would come true.
With the appearance of fruit, Lin Shu likes going out more.
From north to south, from west to east, walk all over the city.
I bought a lot of small things with southern characteristics, and ate snacks until my mouth was full of oil.
Food prices have returned to normal levels, and meat and eggs are in sufficient supply.
The prosperity of the South is so great that the North cannot even begin to catch up.
There are still so many people struggling to survive in the North.
The two places are only 5,000 kilometers apart, but they are two completely different worlds.
Distance blocks all transactions.
...
The women in the caravan are naturally generous when buying things because they have money.
The children also benefited a lot from it, and they were so happy.
As soon as the children saw Lin Shu coming back, they surrounded her and presented her with their treasures.
"Miss, try my red pepper."
"Miss, try my winter melon candy."
"Miss, try my orange candy."
Lin Shu hurriedly shook her hand to refuse. The few snacks they had were not enough to fill their stomachs.
He generously took out the pastries he had bought and gave each person a piece.
The pastries that melted in their mouths made them squint with joy.
I became more determined to follow the lady, where I could earn money and have cakes to eat.
Or it was a pastry they had never seen before, so it would definitely be very expensive.
The child watched Lin Shu leave reluctantly until she was out of sight.
"Humph, a bunch of sycophants!"
Wang Daya smacked her lips and it seemed to be very delicious.
So what, she is a person of principle.
I will never give up what I want just for a little profit.
"Lulululul, you make it seem like you haven't eaten anything. You're still just a bootlicker."
"Wang Daya, shame on you, your nose is not a nose, and your face is not a face."
Several little boys simply acted shyly towards Wang Daya and even twisted their buttocks, just like Baozi.
"Get lost, you little brats with no manners.
I don't want to play with you guys anymore because you have a pig kidney face all the time."
Wang Daya gathered her fallen hair, stomped her feet and ran away.
