Chapter 228 I’m the best at investing!
When Lu Yao said it was fast, it really was fast.
In the two days after buying the mule, except for eating and sleeping, Lu's mother spent almost all her time practicing driving the mule cart.
In order to elevate the Lu family and to help her daughter find a husband, Lu's mother actually mastered how to drive a mule cart in just two days.
Lu Yao praised: "Mom is really smart. It turns out that people who love learning are all young and old."
Uncle Lu was also very satisfied: "It's better to learn it earlier! The sooner you learn it, the less money our family will have to spend on buses to go to the city, and you can help with farm work in the fields."
Mother Lu smiled and thought to herself: The sooner I learn, the sooner I can start recruiting people. After decades, I can finally save some private money!
On the third day, Mother Lu and Father Lu were going back to Shanyang Village.
If it weren't for learning to drive a mule cart, the old couple would have wanted to leave the day before yesterday.
Ever since Lu Yao ignited their fighting spirit, the old couple has become more and more concerned about the chicken farming business at home.
I have to go back and work harder.
Besides, there is one most important purpose for rushing back this time - to discuss with the eldest family and prepare to go to the Song family to propose marriage to Ergouzi.
Before leaving, Lu Yao directed a few young sisters to stuff bags of things into the carriage.
Those are all kinds of gifts bought for my parents and relatives back home.
After Lu Yao sold her jewelry that day, in addition to buying a mule and a cart, she also used the remaining money to buy various things.
She didn't lie to Song Yanyi, she really spent all the money.
"You girl, you don't know how to live!" After Uncle Lu stepped into the carriage, there was almost no place to sit.
The huge carriage was filled with all kinds of packages and gifts.
This is all money!
Father Lu slapped his thigh in distress: "It's already this late, why are you still spending money without counting? We don't need anything at home, why are you buying these things for them!"
"Oh, Dad, why do you always think I'm so stupid? The car you brought back today is not only a gift, but also an investment for me."
Lu Yao pointed to the thick stack of paper in the car, which was used to make playing cards.
Although Uncle Lu has already done some business, Lu Yao’s selling of playing cards is a long-term business.
In addition to those ordered by Baihualou, she also wants to make some more and prepare to put them on the market through various channels.
That's not just a few dozen pairs, and Uncle Lu can't make them all by himself.
Therefore, the second and third fathers in the family became the most ideal candidates for hiring workers.
Lu Yao instructed Father Lu: "Let Second Father and Third Father make these playing cards for me first.
It’s hard to negotiate wages now as the quantity is small, so I’ll buy some gifts for the two elders first.
We can’t let others worry about us for nothing.”
According to Uncle Lu, we are all family after all, so what's wrong with asking them to do some work!
But Lu Yao said that family members couldn't just order others around for nothing all day long. If they just bought some small gifts, they would be happy and more willing to worry about her.
why not?
"Besides, letting the second and third fathers do it is to keep the wealth within the family.
I don’t even have to worry about outsiders learning this method.”
This sentence successfully convinced Uncle Lu.
The gift I bought for Lu Erdie and Lu Sandie has passed the review.
However, Father Lu pointed at the two large packages and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you spend the money on those snacks, pens, ink, paper, etc."
The snacks were bought for all the children in the Lu family and were snack gifts for the children.
The pens, ink, paper and inkstone were bought for the children in the family who were going to school to help them with their studies.
"For a farmer's child, it's enough to have a meal. Why would he need snacks?"
Dim sum is so expensive that only wealthy families can afford it.
Besides, there are so many children in the family. If one dollar is given to each of them, it would be a lot for more than a dozen children together.
Uncle Lu looked at the large bag of snacks and estimated that it weighed more than ten kilograms.
How much money does this cost? It hurts!
"As for those students who are in school, you can just give them some money to support them. Ask their parents to buy them pens, inkstones, and other things!"
Uncle Lu looked at the bag of stationery again and started to get angry again.
"Isn't this also an investment?" Lu Yao explained with a smile.
“I buy food and drinks for the children, and their parents are the happiest.
It's like I spent one dollar to make the whole family happy. How cost-effective is that?
Besides, our children have been eating all kinds of snacks since they were young, and they will remember this one and brag about it for the rest of their lives.
I, the dim sum-buying aunt, will always be their idol!"
As for the pens, ink, paper and inkstone, Lu Yao felt that they were the most suitable investment.
In two or three years, as long as one of these children can pass the examination to become a student or even a scholar, the future of the Lu family will be different.
No one will underestimate the social status and future potential of a family of farmers and scholars.
As the aunt behind the scenes, Lu Yao will benefit from it, not to mention doing business. Even when she goes on blind dates and looks for a husband in the future, she will benefit from it.
This grove of trees that I planted with great care must be carefully maintained.
However, she did not tell her father these words. She just said that she was very familiar with the owner of the study due to business reasons, and he gave her very preferential prices, so she didn't spend much money to buy these things.
This is equivalent to saving money for the family.
The family saves money, so I can have more money when I get married.
"So you are just lucky." Father Lu curled his lips, speechless at his daughter's amazing logic.
"Of course not! When have I, Ergou, ever suffered any loss?" Lu Yao suddenly felt a little proud.
Finally, Father Lu pointed to a special bundle and asked, "What about these?"
In the bundle were two pieces of fine satin and a wooden box containing a large gold bracelet.
The big gold bracelet was bought by Lu Yao as a gift for her elder brother-in-law.
There were two pieces of satin material, one for my brothers-in-law to make a new suit for me, and the other for my eldest brother-in-law to make a new suit for me.
Lu Yao exclaimed: "This is the battle robe my brother-in-law and I wore when we went to war!"
When going to the Song family for a blind date, neither Lu Yao nor her elder brother-in-law, who was acting as a matchmaker, could be too plain.
She couldn't afford the expensive silk, and it wasn't suitable for their current status.
Satin with good texture is the best choice.
Each of them put on new clothes and dressed up to go on a blind date.
Lu Yao had long wanted to give that gold bracelet to her brother-in-law.
Her brother-in-law had been caring for Ergouzi without any regrets before she came here.
After she came, she went on so many blind dates, and regardless of whether they were successful or not, her brother-in-law really cared about her.
Giving money as a reward is not a good idea. Giving gifts repeatedly is not as good as giving something valuable and shocking all at once.
Besides, it was also very important for her to know the matchmakers' clothes and jewelry through her own blind dates and what she saw and heard in the city.
The more noble it is, the higher the status it represents.
The matchmakers who go to rich families to propose marriage all look wealthy.
Otherwise you can't even get through the door.
So, Lu Yao bought a big gold bracelet for her brother-in-law.
It is not only a way to express my gratitude to my brother-in-law over the years, but also the fulfillment of my original plan to give my brother-in-law good equipment when I make money in the future.
"Dad, you must convey my gratitude to my elder brother-in-law." Lu Yao repeatedly told her father.
"By the way, tell your brother-in-law not to feel any burden about that big gold bracelet. I don't have that much money, so I bought him a gold-plated one. It's quite impressive, but it didn't cost much."
At this point, she also has to thank the local wealthy ladies who gave her rewards and gave her inspiration.
Uncle Lu curled his lips.
He understood the reason, but he was still a little jealous.
"You silly girl, you haven't bought any jewelry or clothes for your father yet, but you bought them for others first." Father Lu felt jealous.
"Don't worry, Dad. When I save up some money, I'll buy you solid gold jewelry and the best silk fabrics!"
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Uncle Lu's lips.
But I still said habitually: "You really know how to spend money!"
Lu Yao then said, "Is it my fault? We had so much silk at home before, but you sold it all. Now I have to buy new ones."
All the fine silks and satins sent by Master Xie and Master Song were sold by Father Lu anyway.
At that time, he thought that the Lu family, a farming family, had no reason to wear silk and satin.
There are so many places to spend money, it’s better to change it into silver.
Unexpectedly, not long after that, I really encountered a situation where I needed to wear silk and make a long face.
Father Lu felt a little guilty, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, wait for good news! Old lady, hurry up."
Mother Lu waved her whip, drove the mule cart, and took Father Lu away from Ping'an County.
As soon as he returned to Shanyang Village, he immediately asked his eldest son-in-law to calculate and find a good day to go to the Song family to propose marriage.
