Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

So after inviting the Taoist priest, Shen Lingzhu immediately discussed with her senior sister: "A rocking chair is easier to imitate than a bellows.

We want to sell at a high price, so our target audience can only be wealthy individuals with some assets and mid-level merchants.”

Shen Miaozhu: "So?"

"Get some good wood, pine wood from the mountain, and walnut wood." Shen Lingzhu decided to improve the grade of the rocking chair by focusing on quality.

Shen Miaozhu thought about it and realized that there didn't seem to be any walnut trees on her own mountain. She said, "Which mountain's walnut tree do you like? We don't have any money right now."

Shen Lingzhu immediately recommended: "Last time we were at Qixingguan, we saw a few trees that weren't bearing much fruit. Could we buy one on credit?"

"You're just wishful thinking, but I can find a chance to ask." Shen Miaozhu had just figured out how to make a rocking chair out of bamboo, but she hadn't tried making one out of solid wood yet.

She added, "Don't be anxious. Haven't you noticed that your uncle is not worried about the debts now?" She also brought back five half-grown boys and arranged for them to stay with an elderly man living alone in the village.

One more person means more money. My uncle is either too optimistic about the bellows business or he is deliberately not accumulating money.

"Really?" Shen Lingzhu recalled recent events. Apart from her aunt's bigger belly and all the money being spent and in debt again, there were no other major changes.

Shen Miaozhu: "No?"

"..."

……

Taoist Zhiyuan has been invited to the Shen family several times in just half a month, which is a bit too frequent.

He examined the injured and praised Shen Miaozhu for her excellent treatment, saying that young people recover quickly and will recover in no time.

After Shen Huai sent him to the gate, he said he wanted to tell Shen Miaozhu a few things.

When she brought him to the stream, she asked, "Do you think your family needs a talisman to dispel evil spirits?"

"Is it free?"

"of course not."

"No need for that." Shen Miaozhu didn't think she needed talisman paper. She was short of money, and she knew how to draw talismans.

Zhiyuan, who was also worried about money, was sure that he could not earn any money from her, so he shook his sleeves and left.

But he had barely taken a few steps when Shen Miaozhu said, "Master Zhiyuan, are you selling those walnut trees in the back hill that don't bear fruit?"

There is income, even if it is small, it can make up for the blood loss from the free clinic a few days ago. Zhiyuan stopped and turned around: "You want to buy? Sure, but you have to cut down the trees yourself.

I guarantee that some of the trees are healthy and viable. If you cut down any hollow or insect-eaten trees, I will return them."

Shen Miaozhu noticed that Taoist Zhiyuan would always become more talkative at such moments, so she nodded hurriedly: "Okay, but the money will arrive a little later."

Zhiyuan asked, "How late is later?"

"It could be after I sell all the bellows this afternoon, or it could be the 20th of next month." She calculated the speed and income of her family's bellows production within a month, which was enough to support her buying high-quality wood.

Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and nodded. He had heard many believers talk about the recent booming business of Jinshi bellows.

When the other party suggested transplanting peach and persimmon trees, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, there's only that patch of fresh and sweet fruit in the back mountain. If you remove one, there will be one less in the temple."

The junior fellow students only have a few snacks to eat. If he dares to betray the master, they will definitely scold him more than just a few words.

But when Shen Miaozhu said she only wanted to prune the branches, he waved his hand and agreed that she could do it anytime in the autumn, free of charge.

As for the persimmon tree, he suggested that she wait until next spring to prune it.

After this matter was settled, Shen Miaozhu started to make a rocking chair with solid wood. With the support of her uncle and the help of a hired carpenter, she quickly mastered the skills.

When Chen Ru came to pick up the bamboo chair he bought and found that there was a pine wood one, he immediately asked for a replacement.

It’s not that he can’t use bamboo chairs, but he believes more in the durability of solid wood chairs, and he will choose solid wood even if it costs more.

This time, Shen Lingzhu insisted on accepting one or two taels of silver and refused to bargain.

But unexpectedly, a few days later, Chen Ru ordered dozens more rocking chairs and specifically asked for walnut wood for the front door, which made her make a lot of money.

In this way, after paying for the walnut tree, the family had enough money to buy tiles for the row of side rooms and carpentry workshop that had just been built on the west side of the yard.

Instead, secretly, he finally made a few bamboo chairs imitating Shen Baizhu in July. Before he took them to the market to sell, one of them was broken by the third grandmother who came to visit.

The fat old lady sprained her waist at that time, and her screams of pain could be heard by her neighbors more than ten feet away.

This scene happened to be seen by a woman from the Xia family who was passing by, and within half an hour, the news spread throughout the entire Beigou.

Shen Baizhu knew that something bad had happened and it was impossible to sell the bamboo chair anymore. He also didn't want to be beaten again, so he asked his mother to help him pack his clothes and ran to his grandfather's house for refuge.

Just by chance, he met a few young men who were delivering bellows. Everyone was very surprised to see him running away.

Xia Wang, who works as a bellows deliveryman, now frequently goes in and out of the village, so he will definitely bring back such hot news as soon as possible.

He had just finished talking excitedly to the three siblings of the Shen family when a figure flew past him.

When he turned around, he saw Shen Du pulling the long lever of the bellows and running out of the door.

"Third brother." Shen Huai and his brothers dropped their tools and followed closely.

Aunt Jiu also put down her work, took her children and Mrs. Hu to take leave and go home to take care of her mother-in-law.

"Brother, let's go after him too." Shen Lingzhu was afraid that his uncle would be accidentally injured.

"Come back, don't join in the fun." Mrs. Hu called them back, "Your Third Grandma is injured, Miaozhu, pick up some things and go with me to visit her.

As for you two brothers and sisters, stay and look after the house."

Unless it was necessary, she would never take them to her third uncle's house.

Shen Lingzhu's desire to watch the fun was exposed, and he could only pick up the Poria cocos he had picked out of boredom.

After many days, the Poria cocos and Coptis chinensis on the mountain were finally picked. Unfortunately, they only grew under the roots of a pine tree in the mountain and could not be found anywhere else.

However, the bellows business is currently booming, so there is no need to sell the herbs for the time being, you can keep them for your own use.

As she was muttering to herself while turning over the yellow lotus, her seventh uncle Shen He, who had just chased her out, ran back and said, "Xiao Zhuzi, give me a bellows. Remember to give it to Third Aunt."

"Ah? Giving it back?" The debt of favor is the hardest to repay. Last time, the clan members made adobe bricks for me and helped me build a house without asking for any wages.

Naturally, the uncle gave each family a bellows to express his gratitude.

She couldn't help but ask, "How many stoves are there in Third Grandpa's house? Could Third Grandma be sending them to her mother's family?"

"One, but Third Aunt doesn't want the eggs sent by Third Brother and Sister-in-law. She only wants a bellows." Shen He was also puzzled and also suspected that she wanted to send it to her parents' home.

Shen Lingzhu muttered, "So persistent," and after moving one to Shen He and taking it away, she complained to her elder brother several times.

Under the yard, a young man from the Shen family who was sharpening bamboo nails came over and said to her, "Little Bamboo, Third Grandma has always wanted Uncle Nine to secretly make her a bellows and give it to Uncle Shiman's husband."

"County town?" Shen Lingzhu immediately ran after Shen He.

The young man was stunned on the spot. After a few breaths, he asked, "Brother Xianzhu, did I say something wrong?"

Ever since the Chang family members who helped Huang Zongzhi were injured, he could feel that the big and small Zhuzis spoke to them more politely, which was not a good thing.

"No, she just went to retrieve the bellows." Shen Xianzhu knew his sister too well. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Zhuzi coming back with the bellows...
