Chapter 228 Make sure you have money to spend!
As for entrusting it to other people, how could anyone be as trustworthy as Lin Shiqi?
Lin Shiqi told her that he would find another easier way, which would definitely sell well and she wouldn't have to worry about making money at all.
Mrs. Zhou was skeptical, but still couldn't let it go, and kept sighing.
Seeing her like this, Lin Shiqi simply smiled and said:
"Mom, I'm here to make sure you have money to spend! Even if everyone in the world can't eat, I can still guarantee you three meals a day!"
Mrs. Zhou was amused.
"I didn't realize before that you were such a boaster!"
So he agreed, but he wanted to see that Lin Shiqi could really make money before discussing the sale.
That day, Zhou Xiaogu and Chang Pangzi came.
This is the first time they have returned to the Zhou family since their marriage.
There was a smug look on Fatty Chang's chubby face, while Xiaogu Zhou's pretty face was shy and sweet.
Lin Shiqi couldn't help but joke,
"It looks like you two are doing well! Aunt, you have a husband and have forgotten your mother. You only come once in such a long time. If you continue like this, you will really become a guest!"
Zhou Xiaogu blushed slightly, bowed politely,
"Fourth sister-in-law, I am where I am today thanks to your teachings."
Teachings?
Lin Shiqi was a little stunned. Didn’t she teach her?
But Zhou Xiaogu had other ideas in mind.
She used to be ignorant and naive. In order to live a good life, she sold herself as a maid, but her plan was broken by Lin Shiqi.
Then Lin Shiqi's actions made her understand one thing: a woman can also make money with her own abilities and hard work. There is no need to humiliate herself, and she also has a high status in the family.
Later, it was Lin Shiqi who made her realize that she was also talented. Her sewing and embroidery skills were praised by everyone, and she could make money to support her family with this.
The inherent notions in my mind were broken, my heart was opened up, and even my ordinary life seemed better.
It was this fourth sister-in-law who brought about a fundamental change in her, gave her a better life, and made her understand many truths. The fourth sister-in-law was the role model she had been secretly learning from.
"Uh, I didn't do anything. It's your own blessing."
Lin Shiqi had no idea of the situation, but Mrs. Zhou was not surprised at all. Everyone in the Zhou family needed to thank the two people from the fourth room. Otherwise, the whole family could just barely get enough food and clothing, so how could they have the life they have now?
So Zhou Xiaogu's gratitude was not surprising to her at all.
"Just keep the words of thanks in your heart. Please sit down, I'll be cooking soon." After saying that, he went to the kitchen.
Fatty Chang was overjoyed.
"Oh, I like my mother's cooking the most. It has a unique flavor. Hehe, I'm craving for it now!"
The Zhou family’s dishes have some special condiments, such as pepper, which were all brought by Lin Shiqi from the modern era. He said that he made them himself, so the taste is naturally a little different.
Aunt Zhou raised her hand, twisted Fatty Chang's ear, and said angrily:
"You came here just for this?"
Lin Shiqi was shocked. This action was nothing in modern times, but the ethics and morals of the Dayu Kingdom were relatively strict, so this was extremely inappropriate.
Just when she was worried that Fatty Chang would get angry, she saw him grinning and saying:
"Hey lady, pull it up a little, or it will slide down."
Lin Shiqi and Zhou Xiaogu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Lin Shiqi smiled and said:
"Chang Pang, I didn't expect you to be so open-minded. Your temperament is thousands of years ahead of your male compatriots!"
Fatty Chang didn't know what she meant, he just thought it was a compliment to him, nodded and said with a smile:
"No, no, Fourth Sister-in-law thinks too highly of me. I am probably only a few decades ahead of them! Haha! There is a reason why I am fat. If I were not fat, how could I have a broad mind and hide my generosity? Don't you think so? Haha!"
Lin Shiqi smiled, what an interesting fat guy.
This character is also good.
During this period, Lin Shiqi asked him to help find a shop.
She no longer wants to do the tofu business, so she wants to make some modern handicrafts and sell them here.
She is the boss behind the scenes, and the person to be the shopkeeper has been decided, and that person is Zhou Laowu.
Zhou Laowu has worked in a pawnshop for several years and is very suitable for this job.
He is also honest and reliable, which has been proven by his own personal experience.
He is now helping to make tofu, which is a waste of his talent. Although the Zhou family has many sons, few of them are capable. After looking around, Lin Shiqi decided that apart from the other children who were not considered for the time being, only the fifth son could be trained.
The Zhou family is now led by her and Zhou Lang, but what about the future? Zhou Lang is going to Beijing. If he passes the imperial examination, he will not stay in his hometown. She will also follow him. Will the whole Zhou family go back to farming?
Although farming is glorious, wouldn’t it be better to have plenty of money to spend in addition to the glory?
Therefore, this is not only a matter of her making money, but also involves the future livelihood of the Zhou family.
First train the locomotive, Lao Wu, and then the others can develop slowly.
Fatty Chang was a little surprised. After asking about Lin Shiqi's purpose, he readily agreed.
He was born and raised in Dayuan County and his family was in business, so he was naturally familiar with finding shops.
Fatty Chang was not good at studying, but he was very efficient. In just one day, he had found three shops that met the requirements, and he also had detailed information about all of them, including some insider information, which was much more detailed than that of the dental clinic.
This is exactly the effect Lin Shiqi wanted.
After an on-site survey, she chose a shop with a good location and a high price.
Because there are many wealthy people living nearby, there is a large flow of people, and it is not far from the seaside pier.
As a successful person, she naturally doesn't want to work so hard to make money anymore. If she wants to make money, she wants to make big money.
To open a shop, one must register with the government office and pay some money, all of which will be handled by Zhou Lang.
After Lin Shiqi simply decorated the shop, he officially opened it and named it "Ocean Special Supply".
As the name suggests, the goods here are all from far away overseas and are quite special.
Of course, if the gentlemen see this and understand it as meaning that it is specially supplied to special groups like them, there is nothing wrong with that.
Lin Shiqi first ordered a batch of glass cups on the DY platform to test the waters.
There are not many varieties for now, just tea cups and wine glasses.
The high-end cups of the Dayu Kingdom are mostly made of materials such as silver, jade and porcelain, which are a bit expensive.
Moreover, things made of silver often give people a sense of vulgarity and money, so not many people use them. In addition to silver, the other two are easy to break, which makes the gentry feel a little distressed.
Of course, there are cheap porcelain cups, but those cheap items are not suitable for a gentleman, so they are not considered.
It was in this context that Lin Shiqi's glass cup made its debut!
She stacked the cups neatly on the counter. Under the sunlight, the glass cups shone brightly and sparkled, many times better than the green or yellow glassware of the Dayu Kingdom. Anyone passing by the shop would be attracted at once!
