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

There was a great harvest today, and Shen Lingzhu wanted to treat everyone to a meal, but unexpectedly his uncle Chang Xin came to pick them up in a donkey cart and insisted that everyone go to his house for dinner.

He said, "I have moved the fairy chair to my shop and let half the merchants on the street try it out. I have already ordered fifteen for you.

Besides, there are several companies that need to install bellows, so I can pick up the goods and install them for them after lunch break."

"My great-uncle is so amazing that he can order so many goods by himself." No wonder the eldest brother came back and said that my great-uncle had something important to tell them and would contact them later. Shen Lingxing didn't care at first.

It seems that his great-uncle went to help sell things. Shen Lingzhu naturally treats him sincerely because he is good to his family.

The old man invited everyone sincerely, and when everyone was about to get angry if they said they didn't want to go, Shen Xianzhu and his sister looked at each other and nodded.

Even though he knew that his son and daughter-in-law would not like him, he had to agree to have dinner at Chang's house to make the old man happy.

But with so many people going, it was impossible for them to go empty-handed, so Shen Lingzhu and his uncle, under the cover of their eldest brother, left the group halfway to buy some gifts.

Wine, tea, rock sugar, etc. are good choices for ordinary people to give as gifts.

Who would have thought that I would meet Shen Bagu when buying tea, but the person next to her was not her mother-in-law, but another woman of similar age.

Shen Lingzhu was told several times by her senior sister that she must bow first when meeting her elders.

So when she saw her, she clasped her fists and bowed, "Greetings, Eighth Aunt."

"You..." Why are you acting like a tomboy? Fortunately, Shen Bagu is just spoiled and not stupid.

It was impossible for her to bring down her own family in front of outsiders, especially since the little girl had her uncle with her.

So he nodded and said in a friendly manner, "Come to my house for lunch with Song Ge'er later."

Shen Lingzhu also responded politely: "Next time, I have already agreed to visit an elder's home."

"Come to buy gifts?"

"Yes."

"Sister-in-law, this is my nephew from my mother's side." Shen Bagu turned around and introduced him to the woman next to her, and asked her to salute.

After Shen Lingzhu did as she was told, the woman said to the shopkeeper, "They are all relatives. I will only charge you the capital."

"Hurry up and thank them." Seeing that Shen Lingzhu didn't react much, Shen Bagu quickly reminded her.

What else could Shen Lingzhu do? He had to say a few words of thanks, but God knew he just wanted to buy some ordinary tea and wanted to compare prices before buying.

She now finally understood why her aunt had specifically instructed her before they set off to have Brother Songzhu deliver a bellows to her eighth aunt after they arrived in the city.

It turns out that this person is really the legendary one who means well but ends up doing bad things.

Fortunately, the woman and Eighth Aunt did not wait for her to finish shopping before leaving, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing.

The shopkeeper didn't wait any longer for her because she chose half a pound of medium-quality tea.

She had some suspicions that the woman might be the Cai family member who had proposed marriage to her senior sister. However, when she went back and described her to Shen Songzhu, her suspicion was confirmed.

Shen Lingzhu took the opportunity to find out which shops the Cai family owned. She planned to sell her goods to various shops of all sizes when she was not setting up her stall in the afternoon.

Shen Songzhu offered to accompany her, but she refused. Jokingly, she asked the name of the store so that she could avoid it accurately.

When it was time for dinner, Shen Lingzhu discovered that the brothers and cousins ​​from both families ate very restrainedly.

Looking at the women's seat next door, my aunt was silent like a bodhisattva.

Chang Youzhuang's mother was the middle-aged woman whom I met for the first time in the county town. She kept saying that in order to entertain everyone, she bought vegetables and meat early in the morning and worked with her pregnant daughter-in-law all morning.

She was urging everyone to eat more with a fake smile on her face. Who could eat as much as they wanted?

Shen Lingzhu clearly saw his uncle winking at his son several times, but got no response.

She wondered if this was what the old folks always said: every family has its own problems. Her aunt was the best, so generous.

After dinner, her uncle Chang Xin heard her plans for the afternoon and said, "Let Youzhuang take your brother this afternoon. He knows at least 40% of the shops in the county town, if not 50%.

You are still young, so don't be too tired. Let Mrs. Zhuang take you to Tianning Temple for some fun."

"Tianning Temple is not far away. Let's take a sedan chair." Chang Youzhuang's wife was the pregnant woman they met when they first entered the city. She was a very soft-spoken person.

But Chang Youzhuang's mother put on a fake smile and said, "Dad, Youzhuang's wife needs to protect the fetus, so it's better for me to go with her."

Chang Xin immediately looked at his wife, but she just ignored him.

But Shen Lingzhu knew how to save herself: "How dare I trouble my aunt, and my uncle doesn't need to bother me, I'm not tired at all.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to familiarize myself with the county, selling goods was secondary." She needed to find out how many carpentry shops there were nearby and what their capabilities were.

Chang Xin didn't comment, but when they were about to say goodbye and leave, they insisted that their eldest grandson follow them.

Shen Lingzhu couldn't persuade the old man, so he had to ask his eldest brother for help. No one knew what he was talking about with the old man, but he succeeded in persuading him with just a few words.

Before leaving the city, she bought a basket of donkey meat hotpot for everyone.

"Xiao Zhuzi, let's cook for ourselves next time." Huang Xunzhi expressed the teenagers' thoughts.

The young men from the three families, including Xia Wang, nodded in unison, which was rare.

Look, this is why Shen Lingzhu didn't want Chang Youzhuang to follow him.

After leaving the city, she asked why her uncle listened to her eldest brother's advice.

Shen Xianzhu smiled and said, "It's not that he listens to me, but he is willing to think about his father."

"Ok?"

"I said that many people in the county know that he is a relative of our family, and they also know that Brother Youzhuang is his grandson, but they have never seen you and me."

"I see. Because of my uncle's incident, his family's business has been affected recently. He didn't come to the stall this morning because he was worried that others would know our secrets, so he only sent Brother Zhuang.

He's a nice old man. "Relatives can only be close if they interact with each other. Fortunately, the old man raised a grandson who looks like him."

Shen Lingzhu's sigh like a little adult caused his uncle to laugh.

When they returned to the Taoist temple, Shen Lingzhu laughed even louder than his uncle.

Because Xia Xing, who stayed behind, placed his goods outside the gate, the pilgrims coming in and out were particularly fond of rocking chairs, and he actually sold five solid wood ones.

Adding the ones sold in the city, Shen Lingzhu added and subtracted, and said, “There are only sixteen rocking chairs left. It seems that there are many people who know the goods. Maybe imitations will appear the day after tomorrow.

No, we must find a carpenter in the city to make it as soon as possible and sign a confidentiality agreement."

Shen Xianzhu calculated the profit margin. The bamboo chairs weren't particularly profitable, and he could only make up for it by selling solid wood rocking chairs. "Do I really have to pay them a high price to make them?"

“Yes, we won’t take a break at noon, let’s go look for it now.

"Within a year, or even half a year, all the bellows and rocking chairs in the entire county will be under our name. Then, when others try to imitate them, everyone will recognize us as the best." This was the strategy they had agreed upon at home, and originally, she and her senior sister were supposed to execute it in a day or two, but now the products were selling so well, she had to start early.

Fortunately, with the guidance of her uncle and Shen Songzhu, who were familiar with the place, she and her elder brother took the prepared deeds and the silver they had just received and began to look for carpenters in the county town and its suburbs to do the work.
