It's worth noting that Lin Jinyue's blind box pens haven't been sold for a long time, and everyone has been eagerly anticipating them.
Suddenly, they were told that there was a new blind box pen that they, the group of people who came to Shawan County to build houses, could buy in advance. Everyone immediately felt special and started to look forward to it.
Lin Jinyue then took out some new blind boxes: "I won't reveal the designs this time, you can draw them yourselves."
Not only the young masters, but many interested villagers also gathered around.
However, when Lin Jinyue announced the price, many people backed down.
One tael of silver for a pen.
Why didn't she just rob it?
Lin Jinyue said to everyone, "This batch of products are all glass pens. Each person is limited to two. No matter which one you draw, you'll make a profit."
As soon as she said that, everyone's attitude changed immediately.
"What? They're putting purchase limits on these? How are two enough to go around?"
"Yes, I have so many nephews and nieces, I simply can't deliver them all. Could you buy a few more?"
Lin Jinyue: "Let's limit each person to three."
Even so, everyone still felt it wasn't enough.
Fearing that Lin Jinyue might change her mind, everyone had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.
When they opened a pen and saw all sorts of stained glass inside, they all became excited.
The wealthy families in Shawan County would absolutely be reluctant to sell them after buying them, but some people in Chenjia Village had other ideas:
"I heard that this glass is very valuable and can be sold for a lot of money. We bought it for one tael of silver, and even if we only sell it for one hundred taels, we can still make a lot of money."
"If we resell these three pens, wouldn't that be equivalent to more than ten years of our wages?"
The more they talked, the more excited they became, their eyes filled with fervor.
Lin Jinyue casually replied, "That's possible, but we have a large quantity of goods to ship out in the future..."
"If you're not afraid of getting beaten up, you can sell yourself as you please."
The fervor in Chen Mazi and his group vanished instantly.
Chen Mazi calmed down instantly.
During this time, he followed Lin Jinyue around and saw these important figures, all of whom had kind and benevolent faces. He suddenly forgot that he was in Lingnan.
It was a wild and untamed land that even the emperor couldn't govern.
Whoever has money and power is the local tyrant of Lingnan; killing a few people is no big deal for them.
Especially those wealthy and influential people in Guangcheng.
Chen Mazi was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He smiled and went to find Lin Jinyue, "I just misunderstood for a moment, didn't I?"
Lin Jinyue then said, "We don't seek to get rich overnight, we just hope to be more stable and not offend those important people. There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future."
When Chen Mazi looked at Lin Jinyue, his gaze became even more respectful.
At the same time, he felt a little ashamed; there were more than twenty people, and he still needed a little kid to remind him.
*
During the first three days of the Lunar New Year, the entire Yunhe Village was bustling with activity.
Although everyone wanted to make money, this was the first time they had ever had such a lively New Year.
With new clothes to wear and meat to eat every day, they wished such days would never end.
They were just resting peacefully in the village, and the previous diners didn't give them a chance. But there were actually some idle people who would run to Yunhe Village every day.
Every time they come, they ask when the store will open.
Lin Jinyue thought about it for a while and hesitated for a period of time before deciding to open for business on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
The villagers have been itching to make glass pens and some glass ornaments lately, which they plan to use as prizes for events.
The first set of blind box pens has never stopped; the woodworking workshop has been making them continuously.
So when the store reopened on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, a lot of people came in.
People in Shawan County and several nearby villages know that anything produced by Yunheji is of high quality, not to mention that they are still selling those blind box pens that were impossible to get before.
Those who were dragged along from other places, or those who had been working away from home for a long time, were all a little confused.
This includes Xie Hong, who was transferred to Yunsong County.
When Xie Hong saw the signboard of Yunheji, he felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Before he could ask any questions, the people around him were pulled inside.
Xie Hong then saw an annoying face.
He cursed, "Vulgar and disgusting."
At that time, Lin Jinyue and her family made pig intestines, which Xie Hong ridiculed severely.
Lin Jinyue was not one to be easily bullied, and she immediately retorted.
This made Xie Hong lose face.
Three months have passed since then, but Xie Hong is still furious whenever he thinks about it, wishing he could teach Lin Jinyue a lesson.
He still remembers Lin Jinyue's question in public: "After you wipe yourself in the toilet, will you still eat with your hands?"
This wasn't so much about embarrassment or losing face, but rather that he couldn't bear to look at his own hands. He had to take care of himself every day, and he wasn't used to having servants help him. He would think of this phrase every time he ate.
As a result, Xie Hong lost ten pounds in just three months.
There were so many people in the shop that Lin Jinyue didn't even notice this annoying guy for a moment.
She was also introducing the store's new products:
"Look at these blind box pens, everyone! Besides the most common basic models and some exclusive models, every single one of the hidden models is different. They are all meticulously crafted by artisans, one by one. Buying one is a real bargain!"
"The glass pens are always available, one tael of silver per box. Don't worry if you can't buy one."
Although Lin Jinyue did not showcase all the styles, she did display the basic styles.
A transparent, bamboo-shaped pen, available in light green, pure black, and transparent white; which one you draw is entirely up to luck.
Everyone was astonished when they saw the transparent pens and heard the price.
Especially Xie Hong.
Xie Hong scoffed, "What a joke! Do you even know the value of glass?"
"And they even said that all the pens in these thousands of boxes are made of glass? Are they still dreaming?"
The scene immediately fell silent.
Most people present knew Xie Hong, and the locals from Shawan County just wanted to keep a low profile so that he wouldn't take his anger out on others when he got angry again.
Several people from out of town echoed this sentiment.
Lin Jinyue rolled her eyes at him: "If you don't believe me, then get out. What are you doing here? Don't block other people from taking things."
"hiss--"
Someone gasped in shock.
Those who came from out of town and knew Xie Hong were all somewhat surprised at Lin Jinyue's background, wondering who she was that dared to speak to Xie Hong like that.
Despite Xie Hong's low rank, the Xie family in the capital dared not offend him.
Lin Jinyue: "You should leave on your own. It's the New Year, and I don't want things to get too ugly."
Lin Jinyue is no longer as cautious as she used to be; she now has the confidence to take precautions in the village.
Xie Hong is just a nobody; she can afford to offend him.
Xie Hong's face was extremely ugly, and he was about to lash out.
Gu Shao, who was passing by, put his arm around his shoulder: "General Xie, you've come to Shawan County too?"
"Let's go drink, let's not leave until we're drunk."
Gu Shao smiled at Lin Jinyue and led her away.
