When brother Wang Zhixue came to pick up the goods, brother Lin Guoliang saw that each of them was carrying a load of large square bamboo baskets and carrying folders. The bamboo baskets were filled to the brim with cakes and the folders were also filled with orchids.
Dou, the two of them believed that Lin Lan's business was really good.
Lin Lan set up a stall, while brother Lin Guoliang helped make bean paste and pureed beans at home, while Wu Shufen cut and peeled the peas.
Lin Guodong rubbed his sore wrists: "Although Xiaolan makes money by selling food, it's not easy to be so busy all year long without even a day to rest."
Wu Shufen sighed: "It's never easy for ordinary people to make money. It's like the pig farm at home. The whole family has put in so much effort. Now that they only earn two yuan, the people in the team have pink eye. Some people say that your dad is a cadre of the team and should be
I will teach them my experience in running a pig farm.”
Lin Guodong said angrily: "They only saw us selling big fat pigs. They didn't see that when the sows gave birth to piglets, all the dogs on the team fell asleep. Our family stayed at the pig farm to stay up all night, and stood at work during the day."
Can all fall asleep.”
Lin Guoliang nodded: "Whatever they say, some people only saw thieves eating meat, but did not see thieves being beaten."

Lin Lan set up the stall and asked Yang Liying to help look after it. She walked around where the vegetable stalls were set up and saw someone selling fish. She bought two carp and a duck and took them home by bicycle to Wu Shufen before rushing.
Back to the eucalyptus forest.
When the stall was closed, Zhou Xiaohong came, looked at her and said in a low voice: "Xiao Lin, I will take you to buy some good things."
"What good stuff?" Lin Lan also asked in a low voice.
"A friend of mine manages the warehouse in a clothing factory. Two days ago, it rained when they were bringing goods back. Some of the fabrics were soaked by the rain. They need to be dealt with. Call your third sister and let's take a look together."
"Okay, you call Third Sister, and I'll go talk to Xiangyang."
Zhou Xiaohong nodded: "Go!"
Lin Lan ran to Li Xiangyang, told him about going to buy cloth, and asked him to send back the household items for the stall first, and then walked towards the clothing factory with Zhou Xiaohong and Yang Liying.
Only then did Zhou Xiaohong tell the two of them that the lover of her friend who was guarding the warehouse used to be a driver in a clothing factory. He had a car accident six months ago and lost one of his legs.
The husband cannot drive, and the two children have to go to school. Although some medical treatment can be reimbursed, he still has to spend some money.
Seeing that she was a woman who had to take care of her husband and provide for her two children to go to school, the factory took care of her and arranged for her to guard the warehouse. When she encountered defective products, she picked out the good ones, bought them, and then sold them to earn some extra money.
, subsidize household expenses.
After hearing this, Lin Lan felt that human touch is still more important these days. As time goes by, everything is about money, and the human touch becomes weaker and weaker!
Arriving at the alley where Zhou Xiaohong's family lived, an eight or nine-year-old boy waved to Zhou Xiaohong: "Ms. Zhou, my mother asked me to wait for you here and take you there."
"Okay!" Zhou Xiaohong walked over and took a bag of chicken cakes to him, "Er baby, is your dad feeling better?"
Erwa took the cake, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's much better, I can get out of bed with a cane."
After hearing this, Zhou Xiaohong was also happy for him: "That's good, I'll go to Mrs. Zhou's house to play when I have time!"
The three of them followed Erwa into the garment factory. The factory was quite large, and the operation room was brightly lit. There were workers working overtime inside, and there were bursts of clicking sounds of sewing machines.
Erwa took several people to the warehouse at the back. A woman in her thirties, with average appearance and a figure similar to Zhou Xiaohong came out and looked at Zhou Xiaohong with a smile.
Zhou Xiaohong stepped forward with a smile: "Hongmei, please, please wait for us after get off work."
Li Aihong smiled and held Zhou Xiaohong's arm: "It's okay! Come with me to take a look. We just picked out the soaked and discolored ones today."
Several people followed her into the room next to the warehouse. There were a lot of materials on the table. The light-colored fabrics obviously had marks left after being soaked.
Li Aihong pulled out a box from the corner, pointed to the materials inside and said, "I selected these, including polyester and blended ones."
As he spoke, he picked up another navy blue material, "This is a new material that just arrived, called Shaka. I heard that this material is more wear-resistant. There is also this kind of woolen material, which is very comfortable for tunic suits and coats."
Warm..., this is labor cloth, I can buy it for my relatives in the countryside."
Several people looked through it and saw that there were basically no traces left behind after being soaked in these cloths.
Lin Lan felt that these were not considered defective products at all. They could be washed and used after taking them back. He bought some more and brought them back to Brother Lin Guoliang.
Polyester tends to generate static electricity in winter. She didn’t choose. Labor cloth is good for jeans and work clothes. She also chose blended fabrics, yarn card, and woolen materials. The pile of materials only cost more than 20 yuan. Yang Liying and Zhou Xiaohong also chose one.
heap.
Li Aihong saw how many people bought so much without blinking an eye, and another person gave half a bag of cloth. She found a piece of material that was seriously dyed, and wrapped it for them: "If there are good things in the future, I will give them to you."
Bring the message."
Zhou Xiaohong smiled and nodded: "Okay, tell me what you need and I will buy it for you."
Lin Lan thought for a moment, looked at Li Aihong and asked in a low voice: "Sister Li, do you have any second-hand sewing machines for sale in your factory?"
Li Aihong thought for a moment, looked around, and whispered: "Yes, I heard that there will be a new batch at the end of the year. Let me help you keep an eye on it."
Zhou Xiaohong and Yang Liying's eyes lit up and they whispered: "If there are any, we want them too."
Li Aihong nodded cheerfully: "Okay, I'll try my best to help you."
After leaving the garment factory, Zhou Xiaohong said to the two of them: "I'll go back from here, and it will be faster for you two to go back by bike."
Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, Sister Zhou, see you tomorrow morning."
"See you tomorrow morning!" Zhou Xiaohong waved and walked away. Lin Lan gave the package to Yang Liying, got in the car and took her back.
Yang Liying told Lin Lan that she had been going to her eldest sister's house to learn how to make dried tofu and tofu skin in the past few days. After a few more days of learning, she would be able to make it alone.
She also told her that Yang Lirong's business in Dongzikou was not as good as when Yang Liqun was doing it, and customers thought she was too picky. For the same dime, the amount of tofu was not as large as Yang Liqun's.
Lin Lan felt that people like Yang Lirong, who valued profits very much, were not suitable for selling food.
It was getting dark, and the aunt and sister-in-law were chatting and riding their bikes back to catch up with each other.
When passing by a dilapidated house, the two of them heard two "bang, bang" sounds coming from inside. They were startled. Lin Lan thought it was exactly the same as the gunshots in the movie, and pedaled his bicycle hard to leave as soon as possible.
Then someone was heard shouting: "Stop, stop, or I'll shoot."
Lin Lan felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and with the mentality of doing more than doing less, she still stepped hard.
Yang Liqun also turned her head in panic and looked at the dark shabby house behind her. She pulled Lin Lan's back and said, "It's Dingbang shouting."
