A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Chapter 131 Business Reaches New Heights

Wen Yuning only stayed at home for one day before returning to the county school.

After Lin He'er and the others left, they naturally began to busy themselves with the shop's affairs.

Earlier, I mentioned the backpack to Ms. Li, then I crocheted gloves by chance, and through crocheting the gloves, I also thought of crocheting some dolls out of yarn. Making all these things will take quite a while.

So for a while afterward, apart from Meng Xing making boxes in the backyard of the shop every day, the others went to the Lin family to busy themselves with the shop's new products.

Lin He'er not only had to teach everyone how to crochet gloves and dolls, but also had to think about how to draw promotional flyers for the shop.

After working on it for half a month, everyone had prepared everything.

Now, Lin He'er's shop finally has a wider variety of items.

It doesn't feel quite right to call it Lin's Bun Shop anymore.

So we decided to change the signboard again!

This time, we won't have to go out and spend money to find someone to do it when we change the signboard.

There's a master chef right here in my own backyard.

Lin He'er instructed Meng Xing to make a new signboard for the shop.

The signboard simply reads "Lin's Handmade Shop".

Below the signboard, smaller characters are carved: "Mainly selling various handmade bags, gloves, dolls, and handicrafts."

Once Mengxing has finished making the signboard, the shop can officially begin its activity period.

During her busy time, Lin He'er also went to the county government office to find Cao Qianqian and deliver her custom-made suitcase.

To make this suitcase satisfactory for this lady, Lin He'er put in a lot of effort.

Besides the adorable portrait of Meng Xingdiao, Lin He'er also went outside to find a skilled painter, bought paints from him, and colored the portrait.

With the addition of color, the suitcase immediately looks more upscale.

Cao Qianqian was very satisfied with the box she made, and she knew that Lin He'er had put a lot of effort into it, so her goodwill towards her increased even more!

He came to the shop again later and had a private chat with Lin He'er.

The topic of conversation also revolved around the incident of the shop collecting protection money last time.

Lin He'er only realized how complicated the matter was after hearing it from him.

Cao Qianqian's original words were roughly: "The matter of collecting protection fees in the county town was originally caused by the county magistrate getting involved."

To be precise, this force can be considered as something they secretly cultivated.

The county magistrate's surname is Xiao. He is a local and has served in the position for many years. His family is quite powerful. He relied on his family members in the government office to act as his protectors, which enabled him to carry out these underhanded dealings.

The former magistrate seemed to know about this matter, but he was taking office alone and did not want to or dare to get involved in this mess, which allowed them to become more and more audacious.

When my father arrived in Kaiyang County, he was still sorting out his work and hadn't paid attention to these things yet.

Just that day, someone came to the shop to ask for money, and Madam Cao saw it and told her husband. This gave Magistrate Cao a handle to use against the County Magistrate, and he eventually brought the County Magistrate down.

Therefore, Madam Cao felt that the Lin family's bag shop was truly her lucky place. Last time she made a trunk with her son, her son liked it very much and even wrote to tell her that his classmates at the academy always asked him about trunks.

This made him quite popular in the courtyard!

I came to the shop to make something for my daughter, and this happened again.

Lin He'er later told Wen Yuning what had happened, only saying that what he had said at the time was correct.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuning told his wife that the newly appointed magistrate must have powerful backers, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to so easily deal with a county clerk who had been in office for many years.

After listening to Wen Yuning's analysis, Lin He'er felt that the officialdom was complicated and that her own mind was not as sharp as Wen Yuning's. She also recalled that when she first transmigrated, she had complained about the issue of women's education.

Looking back now, it's probably for the best that I didn't study. At least I didn't have to think about many things so clearly. Sometimes fools are just lucky!

On the day the shop's signboard was put up again, Lin He'er invited Cao Qianqian over, and Madam Cao even came along, which could be considered as her support for her own shop.

Many of the more perceptive local gentry eventually realized that their families had some connection with the newly arrived magistrate.

I imagine the shop will do well in the future.

Cao Qianqian had spent a few hours with Lin He'er and found her to be an interesting person. She wasn't as reserved with her as she was with others, and they could talk to each other.

He was the first friend I made when I came to Kaiyang County.

After Lin He'er finished drawing the advertising leaflet, she didn't bother Wen Yuning to write the words for her this time.

Instead, he found the painter he had previously bought paints from, and for a small amount of money, the painter readily accepted the job.

There was no other way; although the artist was skilled, he only sold paintings and lived a very frugal life. If he could find another way to make money, he would naturally not turn down money.

Lin He'er prepared the advertising flyers and mobilized everyone in the Lin family and her side to distribute them on the streets for several days.

And you know what? Even though several months have passed, many people still remember their own advertising methods. When they see someone handing out paper, they immediately ask if it's Lin's Bun Shop.

The group then explained to others that they had changed their names.

They also mentioned that the shop has recently added many great new items.

As expected, many people came to watch the event on the day the shop held its promotion.

This time, Lin He'er's main focus was on the new gloves that had just arrived in the shop, followed by backpacks and dolls.

After being tested by my family, the gloves were adjusted a little.

There are currently three main types sold in the shop.

The first type is the main product we're promoting this time: hemp thread gloves for everyday work.

These hemp gloves can be used for general work and rough labor.

The second type is wool gloves, which come in three styles: fully covered with fingers spread apart, partially covered with fingers spread apart, and fully covered with thumbs spread apart.

The full-coverage version with the thumb separated also features a neck strap.

However, we don't make many woolen versions because the weather is hot right now. We don't need them here yet; they're only used in the north.

Moreover, there was very little yarn; the little bit of yarn was rabbit fur that Lin He'er had collected from a hunter.

Therefore, the second type of woolen gloves was made with more refinement and was intended to be sold at a higher price, which could also be considered as an early promotion for autumn and winter.

As for the third type, it is an improvement on the hand-clothes that Li mentioned.

These leather gloves come in three types: those that are fully enclosed as Li mentioned, those with a separate thumb, and those with all five fingers separated.

Leather gloves are divided into fleece-lined and non-fleece-lined versions. In short, Lin He'er brought all the gloves she had ever seen in modern times to ancient times.

After more than half a year of training, Cao'er is now able to stand on her own and can introduce products to many people who come into the shop with a smile.

In short, the store has been quite lively these past few days with its promotions.

Many people spread the word that Lin's Handmade Shop had stocked many new items.

Gloves, in particular, are incredibly useful.

Not only were they cheap, but they were also really useful for working. As a result, the hemp gloves produced in the shop sold out in no time.

The Lin family, along with the people at Lin He'er's shop, all returned to their daily routines of working diligently.

The last time we had to work overtime like this was when the Lin family first started making bags, and everyone was rushing to finish the work.

Now that everyone is suddenly working late into the night again, they can't help but feel like they've returned to the days of Sanshan Village.

In the hustle and bustle of life, time flies by.

After this experience, Lin He'er's shop finally made a name for itself in the county town.

The shop's daily turnover also reached a new high.
