Lin Xiaoman inquired and found the wall-painting craftsman, and took their father and son back.

When he was still far away, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of his shop. Lin Erhu shouted loudly inside, "Clam oil, clam oil, your hands won't get chapped after you use it, your feet won't get cracked after you use it, and your aunt will become a sister-in-law after you use it."

Don’t miss it if you pass by. It’s a useful clam oil. It only costs five cents a piece. You can’t suffer a loss or be cheated.”

The wall painter burst out laughing when he heard this, "Whose boy is this? He sounds young, but he knows how to do business. This little word can be used in a complete way."

Lin Xiaoman looked proud, "That's my brother! He has been smart since he was a child!"

The wall painter looked envious and raised his thumb, "Your brother is amazing, much better than me."

"Thank you, thank you! I also think my brother is amazing." Lin Xiaoman smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows.

The wall painter was confused by her immodesty. Normally, when he praises people like this, he should be polite and say something politely. Why is this girl still beating a snake with a stick?

No wonder her brother is able to make a fool of himself by shouting in the street at a young age, and he has the same thick skin.

Looking back at his stupid son who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks, the wall painter was fiercely jealous.

After agreeing to contract the work and materials with the wall painter, Lin Xiaoman went out to help Lin Erhu sell clam oil.

People in the county had never seen clam oil before, and they were attracted by Lin Erhu's shouts. Lin Erhu took one and gave it to someone to try.

Although they are all city dwellers, most of them are ordinary people. Those with better conditions will put some lard on their hands, while those with poor conditions are reluctant to do so. After years of hard work, they have countless wounds, large and small, on their hands.

A woman who was washing clothes for others applied some of it on her hands and immediately felt that her hands were much smoother and she smelled a faint fragrance.

They can earn dozens of pennies from doing laundry every day. Seeing that a box of clam oil costs only five pennies and can be used for several days, they bought two boxes without any distress and stood in front of the stall refusing to leave.

Buy three of this one and two of that one. Business seems to be good.

"Boy, if your clam oil is useful, I will introduce someone to buy it later. What benefits will you give me?"

Lin Erhu thanked him profusely, "Thank you very much, auntie. Next time your introducer comes back, if you buy five boxes, I will give you one for free."

After hearing this, the woman fell into deep thought, and Lin Xiaoman said hurriedly: "It's opening today. My aunt wants to buy five boxes, and I will give one as a gift."

The woman did not hesitate this time, "I bought two boxes, and I will buy three more boxes. Can you give me one box as a gift?"

"Okay, you didn't leave the stall, so why not?"

After saying that, after the woman handed over the fifteen cents, he handed her four more boxes of clam oil.

People around me heard that buy five boxes and get one box free. After trying it, the effect was pretty good, so they all took the money to buy five boxes and get one box free.

The wall painter let his son work in the house, and he would come out to take a look from time to time. He was also surprised by the business. He squeezed into the crowd, picked up a large amount of trial clam oil, took a big lump and applied it on his hands. After applying it, he sighed:

"It also smells weird, better than the rouge my wife bought."

Lin Xiaoman smiled at him. Others tried to pick a little bit, but he immediately picked out half the box and saw that his hands were oilier than those of a meat seller.

The wall painter discussed with Lin Xiaoman, "Boss, my father and I are working here, so you don't need to provide food at noon. Give me six boxes and I will take them back to my son and mother."

"Sure, I just happen to be too busy."

Although a meal at noon did not cost twenty-five cents, Lin Xiaoman still handed him six boxes of clam oil. After all, a box of this stuff was sold wholesale for less than fifty cents.

The wall painter happily accepted the clam oil and worked much faster.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu were busy collecting money, while the other was busy counting clam oil. Excluding the six boxes given to the wall painter, the remaining 194 boxes were sold out before noon, with a total income of more than 800 yuan.

In the morning, the wall painter and his son polished the wall with straw, and the soaked lime had to wait for another hour before they could paint the wall. They took out the iron bucket they brought and put it on the stove outside to cook a bucket of glutinous rice.

It is said that when the boiled glutinous rice water is poured into the lime to paint the wall, the wall will be smoother, and the leftover rice from the boiled water can be used as lunch by the two of them.

Seeing the wall painter take out two salty radish sticks from his pocket, Lin Xiaoman guessed that he used to order something when painting walls in other people's homes, so he was exempted from lunch.

Leaving Lin Erhu to guard here, she trotted all the way home, where she wholesaled another five hundred boxes of clam oil, and asked the landlady to help tear off all the stickers.

This time, she took out all the inventory from the wholesale store last time, and went to other people's houses to get some.

It was already afternoon when we returned to the county town, and the wall painter and his son had finished painting half of the wall.

Lin Erhu was sitting in front of the door. From time to time, people came over to ask if there was any clam oil for sale. The one at the front was the washerwoman who was the first to buy five and get one free in the morning.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman coming back, the woman shouted, "Coming! Coming!"

People who had not gone far gathered around, and as soon as Lin Xiaoman put the big basket of clam oil on the table, someone handed over money.

The woman smiled, "I went to work at Chen's wife's house in the morning, and the Chen family's maids saw me applying clam oil, so they asked me to buy a few boxes. Girl, I want to buy thirty boxes this time. You can buy more.

Give me a few boxes."

Lin Xiaoman counted out thirty boxes and put them into the basket the woman brought. He also counted out six boxes of gifts and put them in. Finally, he grabbed a handful for the woman and said, "Auntie, I'll come back to take care of the business next time."

/p>

The woman got the gift and was very happy, "Definitely, definitely, I will ask later if anyone else wants to buy it when we work together."

Five hundred boxes of clam oil were sold, and less than half of them were left by the evening. The wall painter and his son had already finished the work, collected their wages, and left.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu wanted to leave the city in front of the city gate. They put the unsold clam oil back into the basket, trotted all the way, and finally left the city before the city gate closed.

When I got home, I counted, excluding the money for painting the walls, I still had nearly two thousand yuan left today, which was only about two hundred boxes of clam oil short of the three liang that I needed to make a big iron pot.

When they got up early in the morning, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu went there again to wholesale more clam oil, but yesterday the two companies were out of stock. They asked several stores and they were all out of stock.

The siblings were anxious. The new business they had just found was gone like this. How were they going to earn enough three taels of silver?

Lin Xiaoman took out his mobile phone and searched online, and finally selected a store that sells clam oil. He found that clam oil comes in different sizes: large, medium and small. The one they sold before was actually the smallest.

Place an order for 1,000 boxes of each of the three sizes. The address given is a courier station next to the park.

We found a breakfast shop on the street. While eating, the two siblings discussed whether they would be able to sell enough clam oil today. Should they do some other business?
