Uncle Lin's handicrafts were already being made to order by customers before he became lame. Uncle Lin has good skills, and his handicrafts look more delicate than others.

In the past, it was just some shop owners who made orders. There was no rush. Uncle Lin would take the time to make them after work and just take them to the store when they were done.

But after Uncle Lin's accident, in order to add some pocket money to the family, he would come to find some owners every market day. Now he has time to do handicrafts for them at home. Gradually, people who want to do carpentry will come here to tell their requirements. Uncle Lin will write it down, pay a deposit, and bring it to them every market day, and then collect the rest of the money.

Uncle Lin would always bring Aunt Lin with him, and gradually everyone knew the couple, and they could ask anyone for orders or pay.

Hearing Aunt Lin say this on the way, Luo Yu also said to Aunt Lin: "Aunt, if you simply pay the deposit like this, won't you be left without protection if they regret the order in the future?"

"Oh, I told your uncle Lin the same thing at the beginning. What if they don't want us anymore after we do it?"

"Your Uncle Lin said that it's good enough for us to receive the deposit for this handicraft. Besides, this handicraft is not worth much. The things made by everyone are similar. If they don't want it, we can sell it to others. If it doesn't work, we can take it home and use it ourselves."

"And we have already agreed with them that the deposit will not be refunded if they don't come to pick up the goods. However, for larger and more valuable items, we will exchange some tokens. Then we can use the tokens to find people and do business with them."

After listening to this, Luo Yu agreed. For woodworking crafts, the prices of ordinary small items are not high unless the styles are novel, practical and exquisite.

Aunt Lin was very busy, but she and Luoluo came forward and disrupted Aunt Lin's usual pattern. In order not to cause trouble for Aunt Lin, Luo Yu pulled Lin Luoluo and said, "Luoluo, please accompany me to walk around. I haven't been to the town for a long time."

Lin Luoluo originally wanted to stay and help, but every time she came to the town, her mother would send her aside when she was busy. She didn't think her mother didn't teach her or had wild thoughts, but as a child she just wanted to help.

Seeing her mother collecting money and writing down the order with a happy look on her face, Lin Luoluo shook her head helplessly. Then she said to Luo Yu, "Luo Yu, come on, I'll take you shopping. My mother will probably be busy for a while. It's always like this when I come here. My mother is busy, so I go shopping alone to kill time."

"Aunt Lin is also enjoying it. She is not used to us helping her. She will tell me when she needs help."

"My mother said the same thing. I used to be unhappy and worried, but now I'm used to it. Let's go."

"But what do you want to buy, Luo Yu?"

"We are going to pickle some vegetables. I want to buy some seasonings, but I only have this little silver. You can just take me to a cheaper store or stall."

"Yes, and the peppers you mentioned haven't been pickled yet. But I know a spice store that has cheap stuff. Before, I bought them from various small vendors, but then I found that I had to bargain at every stall, and in the end, they still didn't offer as good a deal as mine."

"There is such a good shop, then please take me over to have a look."

"Just go straight this way. I'll take you there, and I won't let you suffer any loss!"

"That's right. Thank you so much, Luoluo!"

"Don't be so arrogant, but when you pickle the peppers, just give me more. I heard you say before that I've been pestering you, hehe..."

"Okay, you won't be left out if it's done."

After passing through the busy streets and winding around, we finally arrived at the shop that Lin Luoluo mentioned. The name was simple, it was called "Wushi Shop".

Luo Yu gave Lin Luoluo a thumbs up and said, "Luoluo, you are amazing. You can find such a complicated location and such a hidden shop."

Lin Luoluo smiled and scratched his head and said, "I also found out by accident. My mother didn't allow me to help, so I found it while killing time."

"Let's go in and see if we have the materials you want."

"Yeah, there must be. I can smell the fragrance."

As they were talking, the two of them walked into the shop. There was only a shopkeeper and a clerk in the shop. When they saw them come in, they just asked in a lukewarm manner what materials they wanted, and were not very warm.

Luo Yu found it even more incredible. In other shops, the shop assistants would wait for you to come in with a smile before you even entered the door. Not to mention that today was market day, and other shops that were far from the market center all found a place to set up stalls in the center.

This shop is far away and out of the way, and even when customers come, they are not very popular. Could it be that the owner here is not short of money, and this is just a decoration?

Thinking of this, Luo Yu felt that he was right. Rich people really don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they don't even have time to travel around.

Without thinking about the shopkeeper's thoughts, Luo Yu asked about the prices of some materials. The shopkeeper coldly said that he could pick them first and calculate the price together at the end.

Luo Yu gave up the idea of ​​chatting and concentrated on finding the materials she wanted.

After a while, Luo Yu really found a lot of ingredients: cinnamon, five-spice powder, thirteen spices, star anise and peppercorns...

The unexpected surprise was that the store also had soy sauce. Luo Yu selected all of them and asked the waiter to weigh and pack them, and then took them to the counter. The shopkeeper took a look at the approximate ingredients and knew roughly how much it weighed by holding it in his hands, and then he started to calculate the price.

"Cinnamon, thirteen spices, and Sichuan peppercorns are a little more expensive. These ingredients will cost you a total of 45 wen. Soy sauce is expensive, and the can in your hand costs 30 wen. I'll give you a discount and give me a total of 70 wen."

Luo Yu had estimated that most of the tael of silver he had spent here, but he didn't expect that the shopkeeper would give him a discount of five cents for just the leftovers. He took out the silver and handed it to the shopkeeper generously.

The shopkeeper was slightly displeased when he saw that she took out one or two taels of silver, but he still opened the drawer to make the change. While making the change, he said, "Next time you come to buy materials, remember to prepare some loose change, otherwise I won't buy from you anymore."

"Um... the shopkeeper is right. I was reckless. I will definitely do it next time. Thank you for your leniency this time."

It is said that you should not hit a smiling person. Luo Yu smiled and answered the shopkeeper's questions. After giving her the change, he handed it to her and said, "Remember to count it. Kai is not responsible after you leave the store."

Luo Yu took the materials and put them into the basket one by one. Lin Luoluo stood aside holding Luo Ci and did not dare to speak.

Carrying the basket on his back, Luo Yu said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, please give us the correct change. We will leave first and come back next time."

The store owner did not respond, so Luo Yu and Lin Luoluo went out.

After leaving the shop, Lin Luoluo exhaled, and said without patting her chest, "Luo Yu, the shopkeeper looked so serious, how dare you chat with him?"

Luo Yu looked confused and said, "Ah, what's wrong with the store owner being serious? He is doing business after all. I buy things and pay, and he just gives me the change. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"If you're so scared, how do you know their materials are cheap?"

"I just happened to come here and saw someone buying it. I estimated the price and thought it was cheap."

Luo Yu held his forehead, this is also fine. However, I have already bought the materials. Although not all of them are complete, it is good enough to have these.
