Li Mie muttered to himself.
“The bamboo sticks are easy to make. Even people who are not trained can make them…”
“How about this, 100 pieces for 15 wen. I can ask my wife and sister-in-law to help. This way, they can earn some money.”
He processed the bamboo and cut them. Finally, he asked his wife and sister-in-law to get a knife and sharpen the sticks.
Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment. A hundred of them cost 10 wen. It was probably cheaper than hiring someone to do it at home.
“Alright, then please do that. When it’s done, tie them up into a bundle of 100. I’ll order 100 bundles for now.” As Lin Xiaoyue spoke, she took out another 5 taels of silver from her pocket.
“This is the deposit. After they are done, I will pay the rest.”
Li Mie didn’t take the money this time.
“There’s no need for a deposit for the bamboo sticks. From tomorrow onwards, I’ll arrange for them to start making them. When it’s done, I’ll get them to send it directly to your house. You just need to pay them 15 wen per bundle!”

“Deal! Then let’s do it!”
After chatting with Li Mie for a while, Lin Xiaoyue returned home.
While walking, Lin Xiaoyue was thinking that she had to get someone to prepare charcoal when the two children went to school
There was no firewood at the eatery, so they needed to prepare a lot of charcoal.
It was good to use charcoal. While heating the food, it could also keep the shop warm.
The scholars of the academy would definitely be willing to stay in the shop.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month.
On this day, Li Xiao got off work early.
He went to Liu Shi’s Eatery and went home with Lin Xiaoyue.
On the ox-cart.
Lin Xiaoyue was talking to Li Xiao, but Li Xiao was a little absent-minded.
Lin Xiaoyue was feeling a little annoyed when she saw Li Xiao suddenly look at her.
Then, he took out a red cloth.
“This is for you,” he said with a red face.
Lin Xiaoyue was puzzled.
“What is it?”
Sensing that there was an object inside, Lin Xiaoyue suddenly had a guess, and a hint of light flashed across her eyes.
“Take a look. Do you like it?” Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
She unwrapped the red cloth.
What was wrapped inside was actually a beautiful golden hairpin.
The hairpin was exquisitely carved, and the body of the hairpin was beautiful.
It was obvious that it was expensive.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Xiaoyue liked it and picked it up to admire it for a while.
She suddenly thought of something and looked at Li Xiao.
“It’s not cheap, right?”
“It’s alright.” Seeing that his wife was satisfied, Li Xiao was in a good mood.
Then, he looked at the wooden hairpin on Lin Xiaoyue’s head.
He was ready to take it off Lin Xiaoyue’s head and replace it with the new golden hairpin.
Guessing Li Xiao’s move, Lin Xiaoyue quickly stopped him.
“What are you doing? The new hairpin is too eye-catching! Besides, if I wear it out, I’m afraid I’ll lose it!”
This golden hairpin weighed nearly three taels.
Including the craftsmanship, it was probably worth 4.0 to 50 silver taels.
If she lost it, she would cry.
Eh, no! He was barely working at the dock for one month, did he earn so much?
Li Xiao thought about it and agreed with what she said.
“Then I’ll buy you another silver one tomorrow!”
