A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

Liu Yun walked to the door of the guest room with a tray in his hand with mixed feelings. The rice in the porcelain bowl on the tray was full, crystal white, and emitting wisps of hot steam.

The aroma of rice wafts in the air along with a sweet fragrance.

Liu Yun was so tempted that he kept swallowing his saliva. This rice smelled so damn good! Where did Lin Rui get it from?

Given the quality of this rice, it would be easy to sell at 20 cents per pound. I can't understand why Lin Rui's family is so desperate and insists on selling it to Xiangmanlou.

Oh, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Who cares? I’m just a bystander.

Liu Yun raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when it was opened by Lin Yiran from the inside.

The moment the door opened, the aroma of rice wafted unrestrainedly throughout the room and domineeringly penetrated into everyone's nostrils.

When Shopkeeper Cheng smelled the familiar fragrance, he felt happier.

His attitude towards Liu Yun also became better, and he said with a stern face: "Put the rice on the table."

Liu Yun felt relieved when he heard Manager Cheng's voice become softer.

He immediately replied, "Okay, Shopkeeper Cheng, enjoy your meal." He then gently placed the tray on the table closest to Shopkeeper Cheng.

When Manager Cheng saw the tray in front of him, he hummed, "This guy has some good taste."

A "hmm" sound coming from the nose counts as a response.

Liu Yun couldn't help laughing when he saw Manager Cheng's arrogant look.

Shopkeeper Cheng picked up the bowl, slowly picked up two chopsticks of rice, and nodded after a moment.

Turning his head to look in Lin Yiran's direction, Lin Yiran immediately understood.

Smiling, he walked up to Liu Yun and said, "How should I address you, young man? We are acquainted now, and I can't keep calling you young man, right?"

Liu Yun immediately understood that Manager Cheng felt that he had just lost face and was preparing to let Sister Lin Rui bargain with him.

This is quite interesting, the seller helps the buyer to bargain with his agent.

There was a hint of playfulness in Liu Yun's eyes. "Little beauty, call me Liu Yun. I just heard Manager Cheng call you Ran girl, so can I call you Xiao Ran?"

"Of course you can. I'll call you Brother Liu. You look about the same age as my second brother."

"Of course, Xiaoran." Liu Yun stared at Lin Yiran with sparkling eyes. This little girl is really pretty, especially her fox eyes, which are naturally charming.

Lin Yiran felt a little embarrassed that Liu Yun had been staring at him. He coughed and said, "Brother Liu, Uncle Cheng thinks your rice is good, but isn't the price a bit high?"

"I believe you have heard about how good the business of Uncle Cheng's Xiang Man Lou is.

From now on, Xiangmanlou will buy all its rice from you. What do you think about 14 wen per pound?"

Shopkeeper Cheng nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. This girl is great. She is better at bargaining than himself.

"No, that's not how I bargain. The price you offer doesn't even cover my capital! The more I sell, the more I lose.

Please spare me, I can't do this business." Liu Yun said with a sad face as he walked towards the door.

Seeing that Liu Yun had already reached the door, Shopkeeper Cheng could no longer sit still. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Yiran stopped him with a look.

"Brother Liu, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Isn't it true that all business is negotiated? Uncle Cheng really wants to buy your rice. How about this, I'll give you a little more. At 15 cents a pound, Uncle Cheng will buy your entire cart of rice."

Liu Yun pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said with a painful look on his face: "Okay, you are so good at bargaining."

Lin Yiran smiled and said, "I'll take this as a compliment from Brother Liu. If you have rice of this quality in the future, you can send it directly to Xiangmanlou."

Liu Yun laughed out loud at Lin Yiran's clever words, "You are such a little smart guy."

Shopkeeper Cheng ordered the accountant Lao Zhang to bring two young men to unload all the rice from the cart.

He carefully checked the rice in each sack and made sure they were all of the same quality. Then he weighed them and found a total of 1563 jin, or 23 taels, or 445 copper coins.

Liu Yun's hands were shaking with excitement as he held the silver. He had never received so much money before.

I felt so excited! I almost danced with joy, but when I thought about the fact that the money was not mine, my head drooped again.

But since my good brothers have eaten the meat, I should at least have some soup. I can still make a small profit by asking Lin Rui to buy some rice to sell.

When I think about it this way, the gap in my heart won’t be that big.

Just as Liu Yun was immersed in the sweet dream of making money, the three members of the Lin family said goodbye to Manager Cheng and came downstairs, where they saw Liu Yun standing there alone, grinning foolishly.

The three of them were speechless at his silly look. Lin Yiran walked to Liu Yun, raised her hand and waved it in front of him, "Brother Liu, are you okay?"

"No, it's okay. Xiaoran, you guys are out too?" Liu Yun was still in a daze for a moment, unable to come back to his senses, his mind a little dazed.

"Yes, I also want to congratulate Brother Liu on making a big deal."

"What a big business! You can't make much money from that." Liu Yun touched his nose awkwardly.

He kept complaining in his heart, this damn girl is just like his third brother, she can tell lies without any effort!

After exchanging a few polite words with the three members of the Lin family, Liu Yun pushed the cart and left first, while Lin Yiran's family of three rushed to the shop of Manager Liu.

When they walked not far from Manager Liu's shop, they saw a group of people gathered at the door. From time to time, people in the crowd exclaimed: "This is amazing. Such dirty clothes can be washed clean."

"Yeah, that's an old blood stain. It's amazing how this thing called soap can be so powerful."

"Who says it isn't? This soap is not only great at removing stains, but its color is also so beautiful and dreamy!" said a girl in green with a longing look on her face.

"The colors of these soaps are so pretty, and they smell so good. My young lady will definitely like them. I'll tell her the good news right away." A little girl dressed as a maid in a pink dress excitedly squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.

"You don't have eyes. You stepped on my foot."

"Why are you touching my butt, you bastard."

Words like these are heard all the time.

"Don't push, line up, come one by one." Shopkeeper Liu shouted loudly, his voice full of urgency and anxiety. But his voice was soon drowned out by the noise of the crowd, without causing any waves.

Lin Yiran looked at the crowd that was blocking the way, fearing that a stampede would occur at the next moment.

He turned to Lin Sange beside him and shouted urgently: "Sange, you are familiar with this street, go and borrow a gong and a hammer to hit it."

"Okay, I'll go right away," Third Brother Lin also realized the seriousness of the matter and ran across the street.

Father Lin saw his daughter and son were in a panic and didn't know how to help them. He was so anxious that he was running around in circles.

Lin Yiran understood his father's mood at the moment, but he couldn't rush over now, as the crowd was on the verge of getting out of control.

Manager Liu and his employees kept shouting loudly until their voices became hoarse, but to little avail.

More and more people are gathering. Most people want to watch the fun, and when they see a crowd gathering on the street, they often go over to see what is happening.

Just in a short while, more than 100 people gathered.

Shopkeeper Liu and the two shop assistants were no longer in the mood to introduce the soap. They were now as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Not only were they worried about people getting trampled, they were also concerned that someone in the crowd would take advantage of the chaos to loot items from their store.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Even though Liu had experienced many storms, he was completely panicked at this moment, pacing back and forth on the ground. The sweat on his face kept rolling down, and he didn't even bother to wipe it off.

"Dong Dong Clang" the deafening sound of the gong rang out, full of passion and power, almost breaking the eardrums of the people who were still pushing and shoving.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. Third Brother Lin hurried over to Lin Yiran and Lin's father and said, "Third sister, I hope I didn't delay you." As he spoke, he wiped the sweat rolling down his face with his sleeve.

"No delay, Third Brother did a great job. I give you a thumbs up." Lin Yiran said with a smile.

Third Brother Lin has become accustomed to his little sister's weird remarks from time to time. He probably learned them from her cheap master.

Although I didn't quite understand what he said, it's not difficult to guess from the first half of the sentence that he was definitely praising himself.

Lin Yiran whispered something to Lin Sange, then raised the gong and struck it a few times, successfully diverting everyone's attention.

Seeing everyone looking at him with angry eyes, Lin Yiran said calmly and loudly: "I am the second owner of this store. I have the soap that you have been curious about and want to buy. Line up. I will see how many people want to buy soap. I will register here. The first, tenth, twentieth, fiftieth, and hundredth people can buy soap at half price today." When everyone heard the half price, they cheered excitedly.

Lin Yiran paused and said, "But each person is limited to one dollar and half price." After hearing that it was limited to one dollar and half price, everyone's mood fluctuated violently like riding a roller coaster.

Those who don't plan to buy can take a look first, but they must queue up to watch. If you don't cooperate with the queue and still force your way in, I will remember your appearance, identity and age, and you will never be eligible to buy soap again."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. They would lose the qualification to buy the soap forever. Who could guarantee that they would not use this soap for the rest of their life? After all, they had seen the effects of the soap.

Now everyone stopped thinking and lined up obediently, but there were still a few people fighting for the first and tenth positions in order to buy the soap at half price.

After being scolded by Brother Lin San, they began to line up in an orderly manner again.

Father Lin was delighted to see that his son and daughter had easily solved a problem that he had thought was very difficult.

He was so excited that tears streamed down his cheeks. "The Lin family has a successor!"

The crowd that had been blocking the store door all lined up. The tense nerves in the minds of Manager Liu and his two assistants finally relaxed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ran Yatou came, otherwise who knows what would have happened today.

Shopkeeper Liu looked gratefully at the Lin brothers and sisters who were calmly directing everyone to line up in an orderly manner at the door, and felt more and more that cooperating with Lin Yiran was the best choice he had made in his life.

Then count all the people who want to buy soap, including those who buy it at half price.

After counting, a total of 102 bars of soap were sold. Seeing this number, Manager Liu, the clerk, and the three members of the Lin family were all stunned. The price of soap is not cheap. Are there so many rich people in this town?

Of course, there are some consumers who make impulse purchases, but they are a minority after all.

Customers left one after another, taking their favorite soaps.

Third Brother Lin also took the borrowed gong to return it.

Shopkeeper Liu was in a complicated mood at the moment. "Ran girl, thank you so much today. I won't say any more polite words.

You have seen the sales of soap. The promotional plan you gave me is indeed very good. I used one of the plans today to demonstrate the cleansing effect of soap to customers on the spot.

As a result, you also witnessed it with your own eyes. Uncle Liu was submerged in the crowd. Uncle Liu is old and can't stand such torment. His heart can't take it!

I will leave future activities to you young people. I see you have handled it very well. The younger generation pushes the older generation forward!" Shopkeeper Liu said with deep emotion.
