Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 45

Lin Xiaowu does not have the craftsmanship of his father Lin Wu, nor the scheming of Mazi, nor the brains of Lin Xiao, how can he make a fortune?

What's more, Lin Wu's and Mazi's lives are not badly different from his, he is not qualified to talk about getting rich at all.

"You can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiao turned to Lan Lian and said:
"Lan Lian, go to Mazi's house, ask him to come to my house for dinner, and tell him that I have something to ask him."

Although Lan Lian didn't quite understand Lin Xiao's meaning, she knew that Lin Xiao must have something important to do, so she nodded in agreement, walked out of the yard quickly, and ran over to Mazi's house.

Not long after, Mazi followed Lan Lian and hurried over.

"Xiao Linzi, what's your order?"

Since Lin Xiao started making salt in the village, Mazi has tasted the sweetness.

With his calmness and wisdom, he was reused by Lin Xiao.

Not only canned salt for Lin Xiao, but also shouldered the important task of purchasing rock salt and coarse salt from the whole village, which made him never tired of it.

"I have an idea, I want you to go to the capital with me, and then sell the lip balm I make."

The main reason why Lin Xiao did not choose Kyushu City is that the consumer group is not high enough.

In Kyushu City, the consumer groups are generally middle- and low-end groups, and most of them are ordinary people, mainly focusing on daily necessities.

But Beijing is different.

First, the level of consumer groups is much higher than that of Kyushu City.

Secondly, it is at the foot of the imperial city, where dignitaries gather, and consumables such as lip balm are definitely bestsellers.

Three times, she wanted to see if there were other kinds of rice seeds in the capital, and she never forgot to grow hybrid rice.

"Go to the capital?"

Lin Xiaowu and Mazi looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

For them, the capital city is elusive, and even Kyushu City, they only heard about it.

Besides, how could it be possible for rural villagers like them to go to a place like the capital?
"What's the matter? You don't want to?"

Seeing that the two looked strange, Lin Xiao asked suspiciously.

"Xiao Linzi, the capital is at the foot of the emperor, can we go?"

Mazi swallowed and said.

"Give me the word 'what'!"

Lin Xiao scolded with a smile.

"...Okay, Xiao Linzi, since you decided to let us go with you, then let's go!"

Lin Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and agreed.

Anyway, he had already decided that as long as he followed Lin Xiaoqian, he would have no regrets even if he went up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire.

"Okay, I will make arrangements for the salt production in the next few days, and then we will set off for the capital!"

Lin Xiao made a final decision.

A month later, Lin Xiao, Lin Xiaowu, and Mazi took hundreds of boxes of lip balm and boarded a long-distance carriage to the capital.

Lin Xiao, who had been staying up late for many days, found a good posture and fell asleep under the rattling and galloping of the carriage.

In the past month, she has been making half a year's worth of table salt non-stop, and handing it over to the village chief, Zhou Dajun, and the villagers who sell the salt on credit. She is exhausted to the extreme.

Originally, she didn't need to make so many, but after hearing Li Xiangmei say that thanks to Li Yuyan, Zhou Dajun successfully connected with the army's material procurement, so the quantity required suddenly increased.

Before leaving, Lin Xiao did not forget to tell Lan Lian to take good care of her chickens and ducks, and to provide them with delicious food and drink every day, and then collect their poop.

Her fertile land depends on the papas of these little guys.

The carriage galloped along the official road for nearly a week before reaching the capital.

The prosperity of the capital is much busier than Lin Xiao imagined.

A long street with red silk hangings on both sides, shops, restaurants and teahouses on both sides.

The houses on both sides of the street are high-rise buildings, and the vehicles coming and going on the street are also extremely luxurious.

Whether it is the carriage, people's dress, status or status, they all show a luxurious temperament.

It is worthy of being the foot of the imperial city and the place where the emperor lives, it is a place of nobility!
The shocked three walked silently through this busy street, and found a small shop that was not very eye-catching until they reached the end of the street.

Thirty copper coins per room, both Lin Xiaowu and Mazi were very distressed, and they wanted to open a room, saying that it would be good for three people to squeeze together, so as to save some money.

But Lin Xiao refused on the grounds that he was not used to sharing a room with old men.

After opening two rooms, Lin Xiao prepaid the room fee for five days.

When paying, the two felt heartbroken again!
The capital city is really not a place for them to stay in the countryside with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, and the price of goods is really ridiculously high!

The three of them changed into their best clothes and had another not-so-cheap meal at the inn before leaving the inn.

It can be regarded as having truly set foot on the land of the capital!
Lin Xiao looked up at the towering city wall not far away, and his heart was full of yearning and excitement.

She knew that as long as the lipstick can be successfully sold in stores in the capital, there will be a steady stream of money entering her pockets in the future!

"Xiao Linzi, where are we going now?"

Looking at the bustling streets with people coming and going, Mazi asked excitedly.

He liked this lively atmosphere so much, if he hadn't taken into account Lin Xiao's feelings, he would have rushed out and wandered around.

"Go buy a suit first."

Lin Xiao said calmly.

"Why do you need to buy clothes? The clothes on us are quite new."

Both Lin Xiaowu and Mazi felt a little baffled.

He even suspected that Lin Xiao had a deep hatred for Qian, otherwise why was he in such a hurry to spend money on clothes? !
"A man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. Although our clothes have no patches, they are still worn out. If they are not more gorgeous, how can we negotiate business with the owner of the rouge shop?"

Lin Xiao explained lightly.

"Oh, so that's the case, I see!"

Lin Xiaowu and Mazi suddenly realized, and a look of understanding appeared on their faces.

Soon the three of them found a store selling clothes.

This store is not particularly big, there are only four or five guys in it, but they are all dressed up in jewels. At first glance, they don't look like they are selling clothes, but rather they are here to buy clothes.

The guys hospitablely entertained the nobles who came to the store to buy clothes.

When Lin Xiao and his party entered the store, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Some nobles stopped what they were doing and began to observe the three of them.

When they saw what Lin Xiao and the other three were wearing, they suddenly showed a burst of disdain.

Just looking at their clothes, you can tell that they are poor people, and they are the kind who can't afford a single piece of clothing!

The way the guys looked at them changed, as if they were looking at three beggars.

Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to the eyes of the guys, and started choosing clothes on his own.

"Xiao Cai, why are the quality of the customers in your store so poor? Can cats and dogs come in?"

A beautiful woman dressed as a lady sneered, staring at Lin Xiao and the others with disdain.

Lin Xiao paused in choosing clothes, turned his head and gave her a cold look, then continued to choose clothes with his head down.

　Thanks for the recommendation ticket sent by [No such person]!

　　Today I will tell a little story about inviting Qian Xian.

　　It is said that my classmate's sister and her roommates especially like to play Qianxian, using it to predict test scores and the like.

　　I don't know if it's a psychological effect or something else, but Qian Xian's predictions are really accurate every time.

　　One night, my classmate sister was about to go to bed in the middle of the night, when she heard the sound of flipping books from the bed below her side.

　　She turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone to take a photo, and was surprised to find that her roommate was already asleep, and a thick book placed by her bed was being automatically flipped through!
