Lu Lin counted their savings and said, "There are 150 taels left."
Chen Xiao Mi blinked and said, "That's a lot. Is most savings from selling wine?"
Lu Lin shook his head and said, "No, mainly from selling bags."
Recently, he has gradually reduced the frequency of selling alcohol. Sweet Potato Wine was not easy to make and they didn't have enough ingredients now. and Lu Lin didn't want to sell the alcohol in his convenience store. When he met Manager Wang a few days ago, Manager Wang wasn't happy that they didn't do business with him as often as they used to.
Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi fell asleep as they chatted about opening a new branch.
......
Lu Lin got up early and walked into the shop He saw Chen Xiao Cai biting the pen with a thoughtful expression.
"You are up already?" Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiao Cai and thought, 'This child is really working hard, isn't he! He got up so early. Kids in modern society would sleep till noon on a non-school day.'
Chen Xiao Cai glanced at Lu Lin and said, "It's not that early. The rooster has crowed already."
Lu Lin was speechless, " The rooster has crowed, that's true. There was no need for you to get up right after the rooster crow though. Anyways, what are you doing?"
Chen Xiao Cai glanced at Lu Lin and said, "I'm checking our account book. Business has been less great recently, but wages are increasing, and the fabric is not cheap. If it carries on like this, we will end up losing money sooner or later."
Lu Lin was surprised to hear that from a child, he asked, "Do you have any solutions?"
Chen Xiao Cai nodded and said, "I still have to find a way to sell more bags or the business will fail."
Lu Lin pouted and thought to himself, 'Don't worry, our business won't just fail like that! Child, stop overthinking.'
" Lin Gege, the shop is losing money. Will the Big Boss be upset and fire us?" asked Chen Xiao Cai care-laden.
"The Big Boss went out on a business trip. He doesn't know whether we are losing money or not, we are safe for now," Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiao Cai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good news! However, I still feel that losing money is not good."
"Alright, alright. Follow me."
"Where are we going?" asked Chen Xiao Cai.
"You'll know when we arrive."
Lu Lin led Chen Xiao Cai towards the market.
Chen Xiao Cai followed Lu Lin and said sullenly, "Lin Gege, why are we going to the market?" He was so confused, he had no idea why they were going to the market.
"Of course we are buying snacks on the market."
"What are we buying?" asked Chen Xiao Cai.
"Let's see what's on the market. Maybe we can buy a hen, hen soup is very nourishing."
Chen Xiao Cai shook his head on hearing that, he had been worried sick about the business yet Lu Lin took him to the market to do grocery shopping, but chicken soup was indeed very yummy. Chen Xiao Cai couldn't help but lick his lips.
Lu Lin thought to himself, 'It is getting hotter and hotter. Xiao Mi has a poor appetite. He is suffering severe morning sickness, I should cook something nice for him.'
Lu Lin walked to the town and saw a group of people surrounding a man.
A young master shouted, "This bear, sixteen taels, my final offer."
"Twenty tales! At least! " The man shouted back.
" Don't be too greedy, hunter. Your bear's fur is seriously damaged, I'm doing you a favor by offering you 16 taels. Others won't even offer 12 taels."
"Twenty! At least!"
......
The arrogant young man looked at the hunter with anger filled in his eyes.
Lu Lin squeezed into the crowd to see what was going on. He was a little surprised when he saw the hunter, "Uncle Qin, it's you!"
Qin Yi was also a little surprised when he saw Lu Lin. His son Qin Lang's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Lin, and then he stared at Lu Lin like he had seen a savior.
Lu Lin spent twenty taels buying Qin Yi's black bear in the end.
Qin Yi was very grateful and he insisted on sending the black bear back to Lu Lin's house.
Lu Lin asked Qin Yi where Qin Ming-his second son-was. Qin Yi told Lu Lin that they trapped this black bear days ago, but unfortunately Qin Ming broker his leg when he approached the trap.
After Qin Yi found a doctor, the doctor said that they needed to prepare at least twenty taels of silver to treat his injuries. Therefore, Qin Yi insisted the young master should increase his offer to 20 taels.
Knowing what happened to Qin Yi and Qin Ming, Lu Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the mountain people had it the hard way! They were literally risking their lives when they went hunting, and he felt like maybe Qin Yi had met a greedy quack who was only looking for money.
