A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space
Chapter 70: Manager Liu comes to the Lin family to get soap
Several people sat down obediently, eating and praising the cakes. The cakes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, as thin as a cicada's wing, and had a salty and fragrant aroma mixed with the aroma of scallion oil. They were so delicious that they couldn't stop eating them. Several people finished two large stacks of thousand-layer cakes in no time.
After dinner, Brother Lin San and Brother Lin Er helped wash the dishes, and then everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Lin Yiran dragged her tired body back to the room, greeted the three children, and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. She had a dreamless night. She was awakened by a knock on the door, "Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock..." Lin Yiran opened her sleepy eyes and muttered softly, "Who is it?"
"Hurry up, you lazy pig. It's already past eight o'clock, and Manager Liu has been here for a while." When Lin Yiran heard that Manager Liu was coming, she shuddered and her mind became clear instantly. She quickly put on her clothes, pushed the door and walked out.
Looking at Third Brother Lin standing at the door, he complained: "Third Brother, you should have woken me up earlier. This is so rude!"
Third Brother Lin listened to his little sister's complaints and laughed softly, "Ran'er, you can't blame me for this! It was Manager Liu who forbade us to call you, saying that you were young and in the process of growing up, so you should get more sleep."
"Don't worry, my parents are here to greet you right now, just pack up and go over."
Lin Yiran nodded and began to wash her face. When she finished washing her face, Brother Lin San, who was standing by and waiting, handed her a towel attentively.
After Lin Yiran wiped his hands and face, he saw that Third Brother Lin was still standing there without moving. Lin Yiran asked in confusion: "Third Brother, do you have nothing to do? Why are you staring at me? It's creepy."
Third Brother Lin's face was full of hesitation, and he stammered: "Ran'er, do you still have that instant noodles? If you do, can you..."
Seeing that his third brother seemed to be confused, Lin Yiran smiled and said, "Hey, I thought it was nothing. If you want to eat, just tell me. You are in such a dilemma. Wait, I will get it for you."
Lin Yiran returned to his hut, took out seven or eight flavors of instant noodles from the space, found a cloth bag to put them in, and threw it directly to Lin Sange, "Come on."
Third Brother Lin reacted very quickly and stretched out his hand to take it, and quickly flattered him: "Ran'er still understands me." Seeing that Third Brother Lin was laughing so hard that his teeth were showing, Lin Yiran shook his head speechlessly.
After getting what he wanted, Brother Lin San did not linger any longer and ran back to his room with a big bag of instant noodles.
Lin Yiran saw that the door of the main house was open. Shopkeeper Liu was chatting animatedly with Lin's father and mother. As expected of a businessman, even Lin's father, who was not good at speaking, began to talk incessantly under his lead.
What a great way to liven up the atmosphere! Lin Yiran thought silently.
Before she even reached the door, she was spotted by the ever-watchful Shopkeeper Liu, who turned around and greeted her with a smile, "Ran, are you up? I haven't seen you in a few days and you seem to have grown a lot taller, and your face has gained some weight. It seems like the food has been good lately!"
"Isn't this all thanks to Uncle Liu? Since cooperating with Uncle Liu, our lives have become more and more promising."
After hearing what Lin Yiran said, Shopkeeper Liu was in a good mood and laughed out loud.
This girl is so good at talking. "You clever little girl, to be precise, we have accomplished each other. Since we started selling soap, the cloth business in my shop has been boosted a lot.
I came here this time, firstly, to give you a share of the soap, and secondly, to get another batch of soap. You don't know how booming our soap business is. I've been doing business for so many years and I didn't know when there were so many wealthy families in our town.
The last batch of soaps has been sold out long ago, and now more than 400 bars of soap have been pre-ordered. Some people even secretly gave money to the store clerks in order to buy the soaps earlier. It really opened my eyes.
If I hadn't been held back by something at home, I would have come here a long time ago." Shopkeeper Liu became more and more excited as he spoke. Lin Yiran quickly refilled the cup in front of him with water and handed it to him, "Uncle Liu, take your time. There's no rush." Shopkeeper Liu also realized that he was indeed a little excited, so he took the tea and drank it up.
The news brought by Manager Liu shocked the Lin family. This was really outrageous. It was outrageous to the extreme.
Lin Yiran could predict that the soap business would be popular, but she didn't expect it to be so popular. She suddenly felt more confident about her future development.
Shopkeeper Liu glanced at the empty teacup and felt a little annoyed. He drank up such delicious tea without even tasting it carefully. He didn't know where he bought the tea from.
He couldn't help but ask, "Ran girl, this tea is quite delicious. Where did you buy it from? I also want to buy some to entertain guests."
"You can't buy this tea from Uncle Liu for the time being," Lin Yiran kept it a secret.
"Why can't I buy it?" Shopkeeper Liu looked at Lin Yiran in confusion and asked.
"Because it was Raner who picked the tea leaves and roasted them herself," said Lin's mother proudly.
Shopkeeper Liu was so shocked by what Lin's mother said that he almost lost consciousness, "Ran girl, you-you can also fry tea?" Shopkeeper Liu had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Uncle Liu, you heard me right. This tea was indeed made by me. How can you be excited, surprised, or shocked?" Lin Yiran smiled proudly.
"Uncle Liu is indeed very excited and surprised. Ran girl, you have given me so many surprises. Not only can you cook delicious dishes, you can also make soap, and now you can even make this excellent tea without any instruction.
I don't know how to describe my feelings at this moment. Brother Lin, I envy you so much! You can give birth to such an excellent daughter. Hey, why is the gap between people so big?
When I think of my disappointing son, well, it’s better not to say anything.” Shopkeeper Liu’s mood instantly became depressed.
Although Lin Yiran didn't know what kind of person Manager Liu's son was, judging from his expression, he didn't look very good either. He was probably just an uneducated person.
Lin Yiran decisively changed the subject, "I also have many shortcomings. I am not as good as Uncle Liu said. By the way, how many bars of soap are you going to take this time, Uncle Liu?"
Shopkeeper Liu thought for a moment and said, "600 yuan, or a little more, we won't have trouble selling it anyway."
"Mom, how many bars of soap do we have at home now?" Lin Yiran was not sure how many bars of soap there were at home. These days, whenever her mother had free time, she would make soap.
"720 yuan," Lin's mother accurately reported the number of soaps. Shopkeeper Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Take them all. Apart from the ones we have reserved, they are only enough to sell for half a month at most. I don't have to run back and forth. The roads in your village are not easy to travel!" Shopkeeper Liu sighed.
Lin Yiran was deeply touched and said in agreement: "Yes! I think so too. When I have money, I will definitely repair this loess road leading to the town and pave it all with bluestone slabs."
Shopkeeper Liu thought she was just talking casually and didn't take it seriously.
When Lin's mother heard that Manager Liu was going to take away all the soap, she was very happy and hurriedly took out the soap from the cabinet in the main house. When Lin's father saw his wife busying around, he also hurried over to help.
Lin Yiran took out a few sacks from the kitchen. When Manager Liu saw the sacks in Lin Yiran's hands, his brows furrowed tightly. Is Ran planning to use the sacks to pack these soaps?
I couldn't help but feel heartbroken. The sack is so rough. It would be such a shame if it wore out the surface of the soap!
That would directly affect sales, so he quickly shouted, "Ran girl, you don't want to use a sack to pack soap, do you?"
Lin Yiran stared at Manager Liu blankly, "Yes, this way we can get it onto the truck faster, right?"
Lin Yiran's answer confused Manager Liu, who thought: He is still a child after all, and he doesn't think things through very thoroughly.
He shouted towards the gate of the courtyard, "Wangcai, take our little blanket off the car."
Lin Yiran couldn't help laughing when she heard the name. The ancients loved to name their children Wangcai, which means "get rich" or something like that. I guess if she calls out, several Wangcais will suddenly appear in the village.
