Lin Xiaowu doesn't have the craftsmanship of his father Lin Wu, nor the scheming of Mazi, nor the brains of Lin Xiao, how can he make a fortune?
What's more, the lives of Lin Wu and Mazi were very different from his, and he was not qualified to talk about getting rich.
"As long as you want it."
After saying that, Lin Xiao turned to Lan Lian and said:
"Lan Lian, go to Mazi's house and ask him to come to my house for dinner. Tell him that I have something to ask him about."
Although Lan Lian didn't quite understand what Lin Xiao meant, she knew that Lin Xiao must have something big to do, so she nodded in agreement, walked out of the yard quickly, and ran to Mazi's house.
Not long after, Mazi followed Lan Lian and hurried over.
"Xiao Linzi, what are your orders?"
Ever since Lin Xiao started making salt in the village, Mazi had tasted the benefits.
He was reused by Lin Xiao with his calmness and wisdom.
Not only did he pack salt for Lin Xiao, but he also shouldered the important task of purchasing coarse rock salt from the entire village, which he never tired of.
"I have an idea. I want you to go to the capital with me and sell the lip balm I make."
The main reason why Lin Xiao did not choose Jiuzhou City was that the consumer base was not high enough.
In Jiuzhou City, the consumer groups are generally middle and low-end groups, and most of them are ordinary people, who mainly buy daily necessities.
The situation in Beijing is different.
First, the level of consumer groups is much higher than that of Jiuzhou City.
Secondly, it was at the foot of the Imperial City, a gathering place for dignitaries, and consumables like lip balm were definitely hot sellers.
Third, she wanted to see if there were other types of rice seeds in the capital. She never forgot to plant hybrid rice.
"Going to the capital?"
Lin Xiaowu and Mazi looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
For them, the capital city is an existence that is beyond their reach. Even Jiuzhou City, they have only heard about it.
Besides, how could a place like the capital be accessible to rural villagers like them if they wanted to?
"What's wrong? You don't want to?"
Lin Xiao asked suspiciously when he saw the two people looked strange.
"Xiao Linzi, the capital is at the feet of the emperor, can we go?"
Mazi swallowed and said.
"Give me the word '?'!"
Lin Xiao laughed and cursed.
"...Okay, Xiao Linzi, since you decided to let us go with you, then we will go!"
Lin Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed.
Anyway, he had already decided that as long as he followed Lin Xiaoqian, he would have no regrets even if he went up mountains of swords and into seas of fire.
"Okay, I will make arrangements for the salt production in the next few days, and then we will set off for the capital!"
Lin Xiao made the final decision.
A month later, Lin Xiao, Lin Xiaowu and Mazi took a long-distance carriage to the capital with hundreds of boxes of lipstick.
Lin Xiao, who had stayed up late for many days, found a good position and fell asleep as the carriage rattled and galloped.
Over the past month, she had been working non-stop to make half a year's worth of salt, and handed it over to the village chief, Zhou Dajun, and the villagers who sold the salt on credit. She was exhausted to the extreme.
Originally, she didn't need to make so much, but after hearing from Li Xiangmei that thanks to Li Yuyan, Zhou Dajun had successfully connected with the army's material procurement, so the amount required suddenly increased.
Before leaving, Lin Xiao did not forget to tell Lan Lian to take good care of her chickens and ducks. They must provide them with good food and drink every day, and then collect their dada.
Her fertile land depends on the babies of these little guys.
The carriage traveled along the official road for nearly a week before reaching the capital.
The prosperity of the capital was much more lively than Lin Xiao imagined.
A long street with red silk hanging on both sides and shops, restaurants and teahouses on both sides.
The houses on both sides of the street are high-rise buildings, and the vehicles passing by on the street are extremely luxurious.
Whether it is the carriage or the people's dress and status, they all show a luxurious temperament.
It is worthy of being at the foot of the imperial city, where the emperor lives, so noble!
The shocked three people walked silently through this busy street until they reached the end of the street and found a small, inconspicuous shop to stay.
Lin Xiaowu and Mazi felt distressed that a room cost thirty coppers, and they decided to rent a room, saying that it would be better for three people to squeeze in and save some money.
But Lin Xiao refused because she was not used to sharing a room with older men.
Two rooms were booked, and Lin Xiao paid for five days in advance.
When paying, the two of them felt heartbroken again!
The capital is really not a place for a group of country folk like them to stay. Prices are really ridiculously high!
The three of them put on their best clothes, had an expensive meal at the inn, and then walked out of the inn.
It can be regarded as truly setting foot on the land of Beijing!
Lin Xiao looked up at the towering city wall not far away, her heart filled with yearning and excitement.
She knew that as long as the lipstick could be successfully sold in stores in Beijing, a steady stream of money would enter her pocket in the future!
"Xiao Linzi, where are we going now?"
Looking at the busy streets with people coming and going, Mazi asked excitedly.
He liked this lively atmosphere so much that if he hadn't taken Lin Xiao's feelings into consideration, he would have rushed out and wandered around.
"Go buy a suit of clothes first."
Lin Xiao said calmly.
"Why do we need to buy clothes? The clothes we have are quite new."
Both Lin Xiaowu and Mazi felt a little baffled.
I even suspected that Lin Xiao had some deep grudge against Qian, otherwise why would he be so anxious to spend money on clothes?!
"A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Although our clothes are not patched, they are still worn out. If they are not more gorgeous, how can we negotiate business with the owner of the rouge shop?"
Lin Xiao explained calmly.
"Oh, that's it, I understand!"
Lin Xiaowu and Mazi suddenly realized it, and their faces suddenly showed a look of understanding.
Soon the three of them found a store selling clothes.
This store is not particularly big, with only four or five clerks inside, but all of them are dressed in jewelry. At first glance, it looks like they are here to buy clothes rather than selling clothes.
The clerks warmly entertained the nobles who came to the store to buy clothes.
Lin Xiao and his group entered the store and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Some nobles stopped what they were doing to observe the three of them.
When they saw clearly what Lin Xiao and the others were wearing, they suddenly showed a burst of disdain.
Just by looking at their clothes, you can tell that they are poor, and they are the kind who can't even afford a single piece of clothing!
The guys' eyes changed when they looked at them, as if they were looking at three beggars.
Lin Xiao ignored the gazes of the guys and went directly to pick out his own clothes.
"Xiao Cai, why is the quality of the customers in your store so poor? Even cats and dogs can come in?"
A beautiful woman dressed as a lady sneered, staring at Lin Xiao and the others with disdain.
Lin Xiao paused in selecting clothes, turned his head and glanced at her indifferently, and then continued to select clothes with his head lowered.
Thanks to 〖No such person found〗 for sending the recommendation ticket!
Today I’m going to tell you a little story about asking Qian Xian.
It is said that my classmate's sister and her roommates especially like to play money fairy and use it to predict test scores and so on.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or something else, but every time I use Qian Xian, my predictions are really accurate.
One night, my classmate sister was about to go to bed in the middle of the night when she heard the sound of books being turned over from the bed below her.
She turned on the flashlight provided by her mobile phone and took a photo, and was surprised to find that her roommate was already asleep, and a thick book on her bedside was being read automatically!
