A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

"Ran'er, where did you get these glass bowls?"

"Godfather, I bought it from a businessman with yellow scalp and blue eyes." Lin Yiran said nonsense seriously.

"Oh, that must be Gaul on the other side of the sea. When did their country's glass bowl-making skills become so advanced?" Shopkeeper Cheng muttered to himself.

"This bowl is not cheap, right?" asked Shopkeeper Cheng.

"The ones with little squirrel and rabbit patterns are 30 taels of silver each, and the one in front of you is 20 taels of silver each." Lin Yiran said.

"The price is not expensive. Godfather bought a batch for the store before. The quality was not so good and it cost 35 taels of silver each." Shopkeeper Cheng's expression as if to say, "You are really taking advantage of the boss," made Lin Yiran laugh.

"Godfather, if you like, you can take some back. I bought quite a few."

"Since my daughter wants to honor me, I will accept it with reluctance. I can't let you down for your kindness towards me."

The smile on Lin Yiran's lips froze. Why did she feel that the old man's words were becoming more and more tea-flavored?

Lin Yiran sighed. Why did the vigorous and straightforward shopkeeper Cheng seem like a different person? Was this his true nature? Was it because he was too lazy to pretend because she was familiar with him?

Lin Yiran paused and said, "Then I'll take out the bowls for you to choose from."

Shopkeeper Cheng raised the corner of his mouth as he watched Lin Yiran leave. Looking at the stunned expression on Ran's face just now, he wondered if he had scared her.

The little girl usually behaves so perfectly, as if she is wearing a mask. It is so rare to make her break down and show a different expression in front of me.

When he saw the two stacks of glass bowls on the tray, Shopkeeper Cheng's eyes widened.

It turns out that what I saw was just the tip of the iceberg! In addition to the animal-shaped ones I just saw, there are actually three colorful ones in these glass bowls. They are like a dreamy rainbow put into the bowls. The colors change from light to dark, and the transition is so natural and beautiful. When the sun shines on them, the refracted light is like stars, bright and dazzling.

Too beautiful! Shopkeeper Cheng's eyes glowed with amazing light, and he couldn't take his eyes off the gradient colored glass bowls.

Lin Yiran was amused when he saw this scene, "Godfather, please choose."

"Ah? Okay, cough..." Shopkeeper Cheng came back to his senses after a while and coughed lightly with some embarrassment.

Shopkeeper Cheng couldn't put them down and picked them up to look at them one by one. Each one was beautiful and he didn't know which one to choose.

Lin Yiran knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his conflicted expression, and waved his hand, "Godfather, you might as well not choose. Just take them all."

"No need, I'll just pick two." Shopkeeper Cheng knew how valuable these bowls were and how he couldn't take them all away. If he really took them all away, his goddaughter would definitely cry.

"Godfather, you gave me hundreds of thousands of taels of silver before. What's wrong with me giving you a few bowls? Just consider it as your daughter's filial piety to you." Lin Yiran's words moved Manager Cheng so much.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Shopkeeper Cheng turned his head and wiped them gently. "Ran'er, Godfather, it's enough for you to say this. Why would an old man like me need so many bowls? Just give me the blue and yellow ones."

Shopkeeper Cheng said this as he took down the bowl with gradient blue and brown colors from the top.

"Godfather, I bought quite a lot, enough for you. You can take them back. You can use them yourself or give them to others." Lin Yiran called the third brother Lin into the house, "Third brother, take these bowls to Xiangmanlou."

"Okay, little sister." Brother Lin San deftly stacked the bowls and put them into a small sack.

Shopkeeper Cheng was startled by Third Brother Lin's rough action, and his heart ached. "Oh, how can Third Brother stuff such an expensive glass bowl directly into a sack? What if it gets bumped?"

Lin Yiran smiled and said, "Godfather, it's okay. Third brother knows his limits."

Third Brother Lin also quickly assured: "Godfather, I will stuff some cotton into the sack so that they won't bump against each other."

Shopkeeper Cheng was still a little worried. After Third Brother Lin stuffed the cotton in, he tried it himself and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that they would not collide with each other.

"Ran girl's godfather, take these bowls back first," Shopkeeper Cheng was about to walk out holding the sack in both hands, and Lin Yiran winked at the third brother Lin.

Third Brother Lin understood, "Godfather, I'll take you back."

"Godfather, go slow. Let Third Brother help you carry them. These bowls are not light."

At this moment, a few more customers came into the store, and Lin's mother also came in to help Lin Yiran.

The mother and daughter never stopped working. There were too many people. Many of the people who came in the afternoon were returning customers and children who came after hearing the news. Although Zhang Kai and Wang Xiaohu helped, they were still exhausted. After sending off the last batch of customers around 7pm, Mother Lin pounded her aching waist and said, "Ran'er, count how much we sold today?"

"Mom, don't worry. The money is there and it won't go away. We've been so busy that we didn't even have lunch. I'll go to the backyard to make something to eat first." Lin Yiran said with a smile.

Mother Lin said a little embarrassedly: "Isn't this the first time I do business? I'm a little excited."

Lin Yiran smiled and said, "Mom, I understand how you feel. I'll leave the task of counting the money to you. Just tell me when you're done."

"That's fine, Ran'er, you go and cook." Mother Lin waved her hands impatiently.

Lin Yiran was afraid that some customers would come and disturb her mother, so she simply closed the shop door and went straight to the backyard.

"Mom, it's time to eat," Lin Yiran came out carrying a tray.

"My dear, do you know how much we sold it for?" Mother Lin leaned close to Lin Yiran's ear and whispered mysteriously.

"How much?" Lin Yiran asked cooperatively.

"120 taels and 980 wen," Lin's mother's face was full of joy.

"So many?" Lin Yiran was also a little surprised.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that."

Lin Yiran nodded hurriedly, "Indeed. But tomorrow's income is expected to be even greater than today's."

Mother Lin raised her lips and looked at her daughter with sparkling eyes, "My dear daughter, I never thought that I would have a shop of my own one day."

"Mom, this is just the beginning. You will own more stores in the future." Lin Yiran said with a smile.

"Well, thanks for your good words."

Both mother and daughter were very hungry, and they wolfed down two dishes, one soup and two large bowls of rice.
