Lin Jinyue was a little angry.
But there are so many idiots, she doesn't care.
Lin Jinyue took down the newly painted billboard and hung it in the most conspicuous place on the bar.
She just didn't believe that these pens, at two cents each or three cents each, couldn't be sold!
A calligraphy lesson is not cheap nowadays.
They are all made of wolf hair, and even the mixed hair ones cost twenty yuan at the cheapest.
And it won’t last too long. If you write a lot, you’ll have to change it every two or three months.
For students from poor families, this expense is somewhat expensive.
As long as Lin Jinyue's bamboo pen is properly protected, it will not be a problem to use it for two to three years.
Lin Jinyue hung up the billboard and sat back in her original seat. She had to listen to the whole chapter told by the storyteller that day.
But soon, her attention was attracted by the words of several students at the next table.
These people were actually cursing their Yunheji Grocery Store!
"Tell me, what was the owner of Yunheji thinking to make such a cheating pen?"
Lin Jinyue was full of questions after hearing this.
How come she made a pen that can cheat?
No, it’s a good pen, but they don’t use it properly, so why do they blame the pen?
The conversation between those people continued:
"That damn Fang Yanjin made us have to take the exam again. I barely managed to get a B grade."
"What do you think? Why don't we go buy a few?"
"It seems... it seems that it is not impossible. Anyway, the capital is in chaos and the imperial examination has been suspended for a long time. It is useless for us to learn it."
"That's what I think. If I learn to read, I can read the storybooks."
"Come on, let's buy together. Let's buy more each, so that we won't be discovered by Dad and Mr. and break them."
Someone else suggested: "Ask them to make the nibs thinner so that we don't have to sharpen them ourselves when we get back. We have a lot of people and a lot of orders, so they will definitely be willing to do it."
Several young men discussed it and were all eager to try it out.
They completely forgot that they were still cursing Fang Yanjin indignantly just a moment ago.
Several people took the snacks on the table and left immediately.
It goes without saying that he must have gone to Yunheji Grocery Store to order pens.
Lin Jinyue, who was standing by, was full of questions.
No, she did this to make things easier for poor students and to cheat rich people, so how did it become someone's cheating tool?
Lin Jinyue was speechless.
She definitely can’t make one with that extra thin pen!
affim!
When Lin Jinyue arrived at Yunheji Grocery Store, she saw a bustling scene at the entrance.
It was the man who had just chased her son and beat him. He was holding several bamboo pens in his hand. It seemed that he had bought all the bamboo pens in her house.
Lin Jinyue also wanted to say to the God of Wealth, it would be better to buy more.
Unexpectedly, I saw that man caught a few teenagers and started scolding them.
"You don't study hard, but just think about these crooked ways. Don't you know that you should study hard while you are still young?!"
"What do you mean you don't need to study if you don't know how to take the imperial examination? Did your parents send you to school so that you can pass the examination and gain fame?"
"Don't you think about your own abilities? Even if you can pass the imperial examination, what results can you get?"
Lin Jinyue smacked her lips as she listened.
This person's words are really poisonous, he says whatever hurts your heart.
The man continued, "When you were studying, you read storybooks every day for the sake of reasoning. If you don't study hard, how will you become an adult in the future?"
After hearing this, Lin Jinyue felt that what the uncle said made sense.
But the next moment, Jia threw all the bamboo pens on the ground and asked his followers to burn them all.
Lin Jinyue was a little angry.
Although this person paid silver, the bamboo pen is really troublesome to hold. Just because she charged a small amount of money doesn't mean she doesn't have to put a lot of thought into it!
Lin Jinyue walked to the door and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing? If you don't want it, just don't buy it. Your son's mind is full of crooked ways. Instead of trying to lead him onto the right path, you want to destroy this money?"
Fang Hebai looked at the girl in front of him who was almost at his waist and frowned: "Are you from this shop?"
Lin Jinyue nodded.
Fang Hebai continued: "This pen is useless in the first place, but it has been used to study evil ways, so it is naturally going to be destroyed."
Lin Jinyue still said the same thing: "It's not the pen's problem, it's your child's problem."
Fang Hebai was so angry at these bastards that he had no patience at all, and his tone was not good: "Then tell me, what is the use of this pen?"
Lin Jinyue said, "My pen is convenient for writing. You don't need to practice calligraphy for a long time. It can be used for writing, except for formal imperial examinations. It is more convenient to write, the characters are smaller, it saves paper, is durable and cheap."
Fang Hebai frowned, "But, the disadvantages outweigh the disadvantages."
Lin Jinyue said: "He has bad intentions. Even if he doesn't have the money, he can think of other ways to cheat."
"But this is cheap. In the future, my family will make even cheaper jute paper and ink, so that students who are not well-off can also learn without worrying about the high cost of pens, ink, paper and inkstone."
“If paper and pens were cheap and easy to use, more people would be able to read and write.”
Fang Hebai fell silent for a moment.
Lin Jinyue looked at the pens on the ground, all of them were good.
She said, "If you don't want it, I will return the silver to you, and I will have to sell this money again."
Fang Hebai shook his head: "I won't return these pens. They have other uses."
Then he bowed to Lin Jinyue and said, "I was inconsiderate. I will make full use of these pens."
Lin Jinyue just felt that this uncle seemed like a decent person but was not too bad.
It would be best if these pens were used for the right purpose, and it could also serve as an advertisement for her pens.
Instead, the young men turned back and said to Lin Jinyue with a grin, "Young shopkeeper, we want to order a batch..."
Before he could finish, Lin Jinyue continued, "No customization."

Fang Hebai did not waste those pens.
He is a teacher at Bailu Academy and also the person in charge of the Fang family.
Although the Fang family is a farming and reading family, their assets are not much worse than those of ordinary wealthy businessmen.
Fang Hebai is not short of money, but he has been in trouble recently. He can't take the imperial examination. Those students, the rich ones are not willing to study and indulge in pleasure, while the poor ones don't have the energy and time to waste on this.
Not to mention anything else, even if he waived tuition fees for poor students in the college, the monthly expenses for writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone would still be quite high.
But Lin Jinyue said that cheap jute paper and even cheaper ink would be available in the future.
Wouldn't it be possible for those students from poor families to hold on a little longer?
Even if you have learned arithmetic and literacy, you can still work as an accountant.
Fang Hebai distributed the bamboo pens to the students in the college.
Unexpectedly, the bamboo pen was much more convenient to use than the brush. Everyone thought that since they would not be able to take the imperial examination in the short term, they might as well write with the bamboo pen.
In just a few days, the trend of bamboo pens suddenly started to pick up.
The bamboo pens made every day are not enough to sell.
So, someone came to Shawan County to look for Lin Jinyue again.
