"Of course it's because it's so big. The Chen family compound has over 500 rooms. The wood and tiles used to build the houses were all shipped in from abroad. The houses are decorated in both Chinese and Western styles."
Lu Ting understood that Su Yan bought so many tiles because she wanted to wait for the new house in her hometown to be built and then decorate it properly.
"Once the house is built, we'll pull a truckload of tiles over there."
"Well, go ahead and get busy. I'll go to the orchid greenhouse and transplant the orchids."
She sold all the orchids in the glass greenhouse. She bought so many beautiful flower pots from the ceramic factory. Once they were transplanted into the new pots, they would surely fetch a good price.
The next morning, Lu Ting went back to work, and the employees of the private restaurant came to work around seven o'clock.
Jiang Lingling was in charge of purchasing and arrived relatively early. Seeing the piles of flower pots in the backyard, she asked Su Yan what was going on.
"Yan Yan, haven't all the orchids in the glass greenhouse been sold? Where did you get all those flower pots?"
"They're shipped back from the south. A batch of orchids will arrive in two years. Mom will come and help me repot them then."
“I don’t know how to do it!”
"I'll teach you. Let Master Cai prepare the stewed dishes. You come and help me repot the flowers."
Repotting flowers is a very troublesome task. She only has a pair of hands, and even if she works hard, she can only transplant more than 20 pots of orchids in one night.
In fact, the courtyard is very large, and it is entirely possible for the employees to live together in it. The reason why Su Yan did not let them live there is because it is inconvenient for outsiders to take things from the space.
If they needed something, she would wait until they were away at night and the children were asleep before taking it out.
Su Yan took out fifty watches from the space and said to Jiang Lingling, "Mom, take these watches back after get off work and ask my second brother to sell them."
"Yan Yan, where did you get so many watches?"
"I got it over there. Ask my second brother to sell it first, and then come back to me to get it after he's done."
"Did Lang Lang give you the capital? If you don't have the capital, and you ask him to help you sell the goods, isn't that just a waste of money for him?"
"Mom, I've already set the price. I'll give him ten dollars for every dollar he sells. If others only give him five dollars, the extra money will be his."
After all, he is her second brother. She can get the goods without him paying for it and he can make more money than others.
Anyway, she is not in a hurry to sell all the watches in one year. She will sell as many as she can first and then see how many she can sell. She will sell them all in two years.
After getting off work, Jiang Lingling gave the watches to Su Lang, and Su Lang couldn't let go of them and touched the watch boxes.
"Mom, how many watches did my sister bring back this time?"
"Don't be so loud. It would be bad if outsiders knew about it. I don't know how much she took. She said you can go find her when you are free."
"Mom, my sister is so nice to me. She asked me to help sell the watches and didn't even ask me to pay any money."
"Your sister said that if you help her sell all the goods she has, she will give you an imported watch worth several hundred dollars."
Su Lang wondered if his sister had a watch worth hundreds of dollars in her hand. How could she have so much money if she kept spending money?
"Where does my sister get so much money? Did she start reselling ten years ago? Otherwise, why do they have to go out of town every year?"
"Don't worry about your sister's affairs. She doesn't steal or rob. If you want to make a lot of money, treat her well. She eats the meat and you always get the soup."
"What my mom said is that my brother-in-law is capable, and my sister is also capable. They make several thousand dollars a month selling braised dishes, and they also make a lot of money every day running a private restaurant. I don't know how much money they make from selling flowers.
They dared to buy orchids that cost hundreds of dollars a pot. I thought everyone was broke, but who knew it was me? While everyone was going through hard times, some wealthy families were secretly enjoying themselves. The gap between the rich and the poor is truly enormous!
"That's nothing. Yanyan said that the wealthy families in the south have cars to pick them up when they go out, they eat all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and the clothes they wear are all imported from the other side of the strait."
Jiang Lingling took out the new clothes and shoes that Su Yan bought for her and asked, "Do you think the silk cotton-padded jackets from the south are more beautiful than cotton-padded jackets?"
"Mom, didn't I buy you two new clothes last time I went shopping?"
"How are they the same? Yanyan has better taste than you. She even gave me a pack of stockings, saying they'd be good for hot weather."
"Mom, you're still wearing stockings at your age?"
Jiang Lingling glared at Su Lang. "Look carefully, these are short stockings. You can wear them in hot weather. You can even wear them under sandals in the summer."
Su Lang smiled awkwardly, "I thought my mother wanted to wear a skirt with long stockings. When I went to the south to get the goods, I saw that the modern girls on the advertisements were dressed like that.
My sister has a lot of stockings, right? I want to go to her and buy some in bulk to set up a stall."
"No more talking. If you have anything to say, just go and discuss it with your sister. I'm going to help her transplant orchids these next two days."
Su Yan and Jiang Lingling transplanted orchids for a week before they filled the glass greenhouse. When the customers saw the many new orchids, they were all excited. After dinner, they went into the glass greenhouse to appreciate the flowers.
After selling fifty watches, Su Lang carried the money in a luggage bag and walked towards the courtyard.
I was shocked to see the glass greenhouse packed with people. These people are so crazy. They are just orchids, which you can look at but not eat. Why are they all crowding in there?
When Su Yan saw Su Lang carrying a suitcase bag, she knew that he had sold the watch, and she went to greet him with a smile.
"Second brother, you're here?"
"Yan Yan, let's go back to the room and talk. I have something to tell you."
Su Yan took Su Lang to the main courtyard and closed the door as soon as they entered.
"Second brother, have you sold all the watches?"
"They're all sold out at your price. Sister, do you still have any watches?"
Su Yan asked in confusion, "You sell fifty watches a week, how come you only sell so many?"
"I asked my friend to take the watch to those factories and ask who wants it. He would sell it for one dollar and I would give him two dollars."
"Two dollars?"
"Yes, isn't he just an introducer? I'm the one selling the watch, and I'm afraid if I give it to them, they won't acknowledge it, what should I do?"
Su Yan smiled. Sometimes her second brother didn't seem as smart as her eldest brother, but sometimes he was quite smart.
"You did a great job. This saves you a lot of time going door to door for sales."
Su Lang nodded and smiled. "Yan Yan is right. I have to set up a stall to sell clothes and I really don't have that much time to go to those factories to sell watches. Yan Yan, do you still have any watches?"
"Yes, I have watches, radios, tapes, and tens of thousands of pieces of clothing. I also have silk flowers. Do you want to take some to set up a stall?"
"Where are those goods? Take me to see them."
"Brother, after they've left, I'll take you to see the goods. Let's settle the payment first and calculate your reward."
Su Lang thought that since his sister had a lot of goods, he wouldn't have to take a special train to the south to purchase them.
