Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Chapter 230

After breakfast, I came out of the tea restaurant.

No one rushed back to the hotel, but strolled along the street.

"Dabao, did you see that? The bustling street in the past is only this wide now, and the houses on both sides of the street are all arcades, which are the characteristics of this era."

In that era, arcades were very fashionable houses, but in later times, most of these houses were demolished, and the remaining arcades were renovated.

In any case, it lacks the heaviness of the times.

"Do you know what impressed me most when I returned to this era?"

Dabao looked up and looked at her, as if asking, what is it?

Lin Shu smiled and looked at the young girls, wives and men who were waiting for the bus on the roadside. Everyone had thick hair.

"Of course it's her thick hair. Look at the two braids hanging down from the girl's head. The amount of hair in one braid is equal to the amount of hair on a girl's head in later generations. It's black and shiny, really enviable."

As Lin Shu got older, he lost a lot of hair. In the end, he only had a thumb-sized amount of hair left.

Dabao touched his natal hair and could not deny it. He hoped that he could live a less tiring life in this life than in his last life and keep more hair.

Li Wan looked back and found that Lin Shu was whispering something to Dabao while walking.

She turned around and walked back, "Little sister, you must be tired of holding Dabao by yourself, let me hold him for a while."

Lin Shu didn't hesitate and stuffed Dabao into her arms. "It's not convenient to take a child out on the street. Please hold him for a while."

"We are a family, why should we be polite?" Li Wan happily took Dabao and walked side by side with Lin Shu. "Little sister, look at the people in Yangcheng. They dress similarly to us in the provincial capital. They are basically plaid and various flowered shirts. The styles are similar."

As for Lin Shu's dress, it is more fashionable than theirs.

"Sister-in-law, these citizens on the street are ordinary people, so they are naturally dressed in ordinary clothes. If we want to see fashionable clothes, we have to go to high-end places like Yangcheng Hotel, where we may meet people of status and position."

Ordinary citizens struggle to make a living every day, and if they can wear clothes without patches, it means their family is well off.

Lin Shu found that the young girls and wives on the streets were basically wearing blue, black or brown pants, and the matching clothes were basically shirts. The only difference was probably the patterns of the shirts.

Very vintage.

"Little sister, look, there's a glasses stand up ahead."

Li Wan carried Dabao to the stall, followed by Lin Shu and others.

"Beautiful girl, would you like to buy some glasses?" the middle-aged man asked in a plastic Mandarin accent.

Li Wan asked: "Do you have reading glasses?"

"Have!"

The middle-aged man pointed to a row of glasses and said, "These are all reading glasses. Which one do you like?"

Lin Gang stepped forward and took Dabao from Li Wan's arms and asked, "Who are you buying the reading glasses for?"

Li Wan squatted down to choose and replied, "Give one pair to each of my parents. My mom has presbyopia and it's hard for her to see clearly when she's mending clothes. This problem will be solved with these reading glasses. And my dad has to go shopping every day, so it'll be much easier for him to have a pair of reading glasses when he's reconciling accounts with others."

After hearing her words, Lin Gang and Lin Shu looked at each other. Neither of them, as children, had thought of this problem, but Li Wan, as the daughter-in-law, had thought of it first.

Lin Shu felt that Li Wan was still as filial and virtuous as she was in her previous life.

Lin Gang was touched by his daughter-in-law's thoughtfulness and that she always cared about his family.

The street is crowded and has a good flow of people.

"Brother, your business here is good, right?" Lin Shu also squatted down.

The middle-aged man was busy with business. After hearing what Lin Shu said, he smiled and said, "It's just so-so!"

Lin Shu heard him modestly say that it was just so-so, so he thought that the business should be good, so he asked again: "Do you have any costs to set up a stall here? Do you mean you have to pay for the stall?"

The middle-aged man packed up the two pairs of reading glasses that Li Wan had picked out, turned around to look at Lin Shu, and asked with a smile, "Pretty girl, do you want to set up a stall here?"

"what?"

Lin Shu pretended to be seen through, and nodded a little embarrassedly: "Yes, to be honest, big brother, we can't make it in our hometown. We heard that Guangdong Province is developing, so we want to come to Guangdong Province to look for business opportunities and see if there is a chance to make a fortune."

The middle-aged man was not afraid of someone snatching his business opportunity, and said enthusiastically: "Pretty girl, you made the right choice to come to Guangdong Province. We don't have much else here, but there are many foreigners from all over the country. Business opportunities are everywhere, it depends on whether you have the ability to seize them."

After that, he pointed to another street enthusiastically and said, "If you want to set up a stall, walk to the end of this street. There is the street office. If you want to set up a stall, you can tell them and they can set up a stall on this street."

"Want rent?"

The conversation had come to this point, so the middle-aged man simply offered a favor and patiently explained, "For someone like me who brings his own glasses container, there is no rent. If you rent a shelf from them for a stall, you have to pay rent."

Lin Shu nodded: "Oh~, thank you, brother."

The middle-aged man smiled and waved at them.

Lin Gang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He made his fortune by setting up stalls and he was not afraid of it at all.

"Lin Shu, do you want to set up a stall on this street? What are you selling?"

"Look around and find things that sell well." Lin Shu's answer was ambiguous, and he didn't say what he was selling specifically.

Xiaohui saw that many shops had opened along the street, and even ordinary houses had been converted into shops, which showed that the business was more prosperous than in the provincial capital.

A few people went to the street office to ask, and they were told that as long as they abided by the regulations and did not sell prohibited items, they could set up stalls on the sidewalks.

If you need a stall, you can rent a table from them.

Coming out of the street office, Lin Shu saw a photo studio on the street.

There are quite a few photos hanging in the window of the photo studio, from which we can see that the photography technology is quite good.

Lin Shu turned around and pulled Li Wan into the photo studio. "Sister-in-law, you and Lin Gang have been married for so long, you probably haven't taken wedding photos yet. Let's take advantage of this trip to Yangcheng to take wedding photos."

Li Wan was a little resistant, "This is too expensive, I think we should just forget it."

"Go ahead and take the photo. Let me tell you, the wedding dresses provided by the photo studios here in Yangcheng are all very popular styles overseas."

After entering the photo studio, Lin Shu saw that there were Chinese wedding dresses, "Sister-in-law, how about you and Lin Gang wear both the Western wedding dresses and the Chinese wedding dresses?"

Li Wan was a little moved after hearing this, and turned to look at Lin Gang with a questioning look.

Lin Gang looked around the photo studio and said, "Since we're here, let's take some photos."

When the owner of the photo studio heard the result of their discussion, he came over with a smile and introduced the studio's clothing and technology to them.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think of this wedding dress?"

"I believe in your judgment. Let's do this."

Li Wan had never seen a wedding dress before and really didn't know how to choose one.

"Comrade, we have a fitting room here, why don't you go try it on? After you try it on, we'll put on your makeup. I must dress you up beautifully today and take pictures to capture the beautiful moment."

The boss took down the wedding dress, held it in his arms and led Li Wan to the fitting room.

While Li Wan was trying on clothes, the boss chose another suit and asked Lin Gang to change into it.

"Pretty girl, this kid is so cute, do you want to take a photo of him too?"

Lin Shu smiled helplessly: "Boss, you really know how to do business."

While waiting, don't forget to attract business for yourself.

"Pretty girl, I'm not trying to attract business just for the sake of business. I just think this kid is cute. I wonder how many pretty girls he will seduce when he grows up."

Lin Shu listened to it. No matter whether she believed her boss's words or not, at least she was happy to hear them.

I looked down at Dabao again and thought it was a good idea to take a picture of him as a child.

"Okay, take a picture of our Dabao while they are changing clothes and not coming out yet."

"No hurry." The boss found rouge and lipstick, "Before taking the photo, I want to put some makeup on him, so that the photo will look festive."

When Dabao found that his boss brought rouge and was going to put it on his face, he tilted his little head and tried his best to resist.

Just take pictures, why do you have to deal with all this mess?

"Hey, I'm helping you put on makeup, but your little darling doesn't want to." The boss was surprised to find that Dabao was so young and still resisted.

Lin Shu didn't want to embarrass Dabao, so he said, "If he doesn't want to, forget it."

"Please put on some makeup, otherwise the photos won't turn out to be the best." The boss asked Lin Shu to do it.

Lin Shu had no choice but to pick up the eyebrow pencil and lightly outline Dabao's eyebrows, deepen the color of the eyebrows, and then put on some lipstick. Forget about rouge, so as not to make things difficult for this little guy.

After the photographer took a few photos for Dabao, Li Wan also changed into her wedding dress.

Lin Shu came over carrying Dabao. The beautiful Li Wan put on her wedding dress, but she always felt like something was missing.

When she sat in front of the makeup mirror, Lin Shu suddenly had an idea and finally knew what was missing.

I opened the system mall, searched for jewelry, and selected a very beautiful diamond necklace and matching earrings.

"Sister-in-law, take this set of jewelry and have a look."

Li Wan saw the red jewelry box that Lin Shu took out of her bag and waved her hands, "No, it's beautiful like this, no need for jewelry."

"Don't worry, it's just a decoration, not some valuable jewelry." Lin Shu handed the jewelry box to the boss who was doing Li Wan's makeup, "Help her put it on."

The owner of the photo studio was curious about the jewelry in the jewelry box. He opened it and looked at it. He was shocked and his eyes widened: "Wow, this necklace and earrings are so beautiful."

The boss couldn't wait to know what this set of jewelry would look like when worn.

Li Wan still wanted to refuse, but the owner of the photo studio did not give her the chance to refuse and put it on her directly.

"Wow, it's so beautiful! This set of jewelry is the finishing touch, making you, the bride, more beautiful and noble. Let's wear this for our wedding photos today."

Lin Gang had never seen such a dazzlingly beautiful daughter-in-law and was stunned for a moment.

After a moment, he excitedly took Li Wan's hand and said, "My wife is so beautiful today. How could I be so worthy to marry you as my wife?"

"Brother, this is your blessing, cherish it." The boss patted Lin Gang on the shoulder and asked the photographer to take them to the photography area for shooting.

Lin Shu hugged Dabao and whispered, "Your third aunt's fate should be different in this life, right?"

Dabao looked at the couple walking away hand in hand and said calmly, "I hope so."

After saying that, Dabao pointed at the photo studio owner who had a fawning smile on his face and made a humming sound.

After being reminded by Dabao, Lin Shu looked up and met the boss's flattering smile, "Boss, what are you doing?"

"Oh, pretty girl, I want to ask where you bought that jewelry from, and is it expensive?"

Lin Shu frowned slightly, "I told you that the jewelry just now is just a decoration, a common item, not worth much."

The boss laughed when he heard it.

"I just want common jewelry to put in the store for customers to wear. If I buy something too expensive, I'm afraid it will be lost. If I buy something too cheap, it won't give me the effect of being a jeweler. This jewelry you have is just right."

Lin Shu nodded in understanding, and took out a few more items from her bag, including two exaggerated diamond rings: "The rings are one yuan each, the earrings are one yuan a pair, and the necklaces like the one just now are five yuan each."

The boss excitedly picked up a necklace and looked at it again and again. The details were very delicate. "Can you make it a little less?"

"You get what you pay for. My jewelry is almost indistinguishable from the real thing. The price you quoted is really fair. If you want it, then make the deal. If you think it's too expensive, then I can't help you."

Just now, Lin Shu had an idea in her mind, and she thought about what to sell if she set up a stall.

I sell jewelry bought from the system mall. Although this kind of jewelry is not authentic, it cannot be produced with the technology of this era.

Since it cannot be made, her jewelry can be sold at a high price because it is rare and valuable.

"Can't it be less?" The photo studio owner didn't want to miss this business, but was worried about being ripped off, and was conflicted.

"Nothing less."

The owner of the photo studio scratched his head in annoyance and said, "Okay, I'll buy it at your price."

"Pretty girl, you're really good at bargaining. I'm sure you'll make a lot of money from this deal."

"Boss, you wronged me. You really didn't make any money from this order."

Lin Shu acted very innocent.

After Lin Gang and Li Wan finished taking the photos, Lin Shu asked Xiaohui and Xiaoliu, who were waiting on the side, to change into suits and take a few photos as a souvenir of their trip to Guangzhou.

The boss pointed at Li Wan who was removing her makeup and said, "Sell me the one she's wearing, too."

Lin Shu nodded: "Okay, no problem."

After getting permission, the boss happily took off the jewelry from Li Wan's neck.

Lin Gang saw the boss giving money to Lin Shu and asked, "The boss is also giving you money, what's going on?"

Lin Shu proudly raised the banknotes in his hand and said, "See? There is no shortage of market for this kind of fine jewelry. We will set up a stall to sell this kind of jewelry tomorrow."

Of course, Lin Shu set up the stall not for retail sales, but to earn a little living expenses every day.

Her target is merchants from all over the country who come to Guangdong Province to purchase goods, as wholesale always makes money faster than retail.

Lin Gang asked worriedly, "Then do you know where to get the goods? And since we can get the goods, will there be competitors trying to steal our business?"

"Don't worry about the supply channels, I will arrange it. As for my peers, I think you are overthinking. Jewelry of this quality is a fine product. Since it is a fine product, it will not easily flow into the low-end market like a stall."

Lin Shu was thinking about how to avoid arousing suspicion from Lin Gang and his wife and the brothers who came with him.

"you sure?"

Lin Gang confirmed again.

"Of course I'm sure!"

With the current production level of the things in the system mall, who can imitate them?
