Chapter 233: 1 hair band
As soon as they saw Lan Xing, their eyes lit up and they started talking at once.
"Anxin, how many dishes will be prepared tomorrow? It's our turn now."
"There should be quite a lot. I heard that several thousand kilograms of vegetables were sold."
"Is it our turn? There are so many dishes."
Lan Xin raised her eyes and glanced at them, which made them tremble with fear. They were afraid that Lan Xin would do as she said in the afternoon and not give the vegetable business to Lanjia Village.
Looking at the look in their eyes, Lan Xin knew that they had learned to respect others and knew who gave them their jobs, so she gave them the data in her hand. They breathed a sigh of relief and immediately patted their chests to make promises.
"Lan Xin, don't worry, our family doesn't get along with those people."
"Yes, I just threw stones at them."
"Don't worry, if anyone talks nonsense again, we will definitely beat him up."
Lan Xin was furious after hearing this. After all, she was working for the benefit of the villagers. She finally put on a smile and said, "Okay, make sure your vegetables are fresh and don't fool people with rotten leaves."
That evening, Lan Xin heard about it and asked Uncle Lan about it. Then he went to the homes of the people who were gossiping under the banyan tree in the afternoon and said that since they were so idle and had time to gossip, they might as well go dig a fish pond.
A piece of land was immediately designated for this group of people to dig a fish pond.
These people are lazy to begin with, unwilling to do anything. They always gossip about other people. Whether they are men or women, they cannot control their mouths, so of course they are unwilling to do anything.
But Uncle Lan had a trick. No one knew how he convinced the families of these people. He said that the fish pond belonged to Lanjia Village and that the whole village would get a share of the profits after raising and selling the fish. Upon hearing this, the other people in the village forced them to dig the fish pond.
After hearing this solution, Lan Xin felt relieved.
A few days passed and it was time for Li Jia to go back to school. Her design was finished, and except for a few changes made by Lan Xin, there were no problems with it.
Lan Xin was very satisfied with both the hotel and house designs, and immediately paid her the balance and a big red envelope of 66 yuan. The plots of land behind the yard had already been acquired, and Lan Xin was ready to build the house.
Lan Xin filled a bag for Li Jia and accompanied her all the way to the station.
"There's nothing to eat, just some small snacks like dried fruits, dried sweet potatoes, and peanuts. You can eat them as snacks." Lan Xin said as she packed dozens of tea eggs for her.
Looking at the tea eggs, Li Jia didn't know how to start. She wanted to say that Lan Xin had spent too much money and she shouldn't have taken these snacks, but looking at the tea eggs, she didn't know how to refuse.
If she refused the peanuts and only accepted the tea eggs, would she still be considered polite?
Lan Xin was impatient to play the routine of pushing gifts these days, so she stuffed the gift into her arms and said, "You came all the way here to draw the design for me, so just take some. Maybe I'll need you to draw another design in the future."
Upon hearing this, Li Jia shut up. The two wanted to say something when a young girl ran over holding a one-meter-long colorful wooden stick.
"Two beautiful ladies, would you like a hair band? They are very cheap, only ten cents each."
The little girl spoke in a brisk and skillful voice, and kept fiddling with the hair bands on the bamboo poles. The colorful hair bands looked like flowers blooming in her hands.
Lan Xin looked at the colorful hair band in her hand. Wasn't that the large intestine hair band she had made before? At this moment, the hair bands were strung on a wooden stick for display.
This is obviously not the price of using authentic rubber bands. After all, the rubber bands nowadays are not like those in later generations where you can buy a bunch for one dollar. Currently, they are widely used in industrial industries, and the price of making a rubber band hair ring is not cheap.
Lan Xin thought about the news that Li Xia had spread before. Did the baby's burp cover spread so quickly? So many people thought of looking for the baby's burp cover to make hair bands, and they sold so many of them that the price was driven down.
It has dropped from one dollar per piece to one cent per piece now.
Lan Xin couldn't help but shake her head in amusement when she thought of this. This is how the market determines the price.
Fortunately, she stopped doing it in advance, otherwise, if she sold the hair bands for one cent each, she wouldn’t even be able to make back the labor and material costs.
Li Jia's gaze immediately fell on the hairband. Her eyes lit up. The hairband was so beautiful that she was fascinated by it at once.
Thinking of the hair bands that Lan Xin and Ying Ying and Yue Yue often used, she thought that Lan Xin and the others all liked to use hair bands, so why not buy them some beautiful hair bands? Although the value of this thing was not as great as the one Lan Xin gave her, it was still a token of her appreciation.
"How much do you sell your hair bands for? Sister Lan Xin, which one do you like?" Li Jia asked cheerfully.
"Just pick the one you like. I have quite a few at home." Lan Xin said, without telling her that this hair band was made by her. Although most of them were sold for wholesale, she still kept some of her favorite ones for her own use.
"That's yours, how can it be the same as the one I gave you. Sister Lanxin, I think these hair bands are very suitable for you and Yingying and Yueyue, so just accept this as a small gift from me."
Li Jia didn't know what Lan Xin was thinking. She first picked two pairs for Yingying and Yueyue, and then picked a few hair bands for Lan Xin. Seeing her stubborn look, Lan Xin had no choice but to accept them. After all, she didn't mind having too many hair bands.
Seeing Lan Xin accept it, Li Jia was so happy that she picked out a few that she liked. Lan Xin watched Li Jia choosing and asked the girl, "Do many of you sell this hair band?"
The little girl made a big deal and smiled happily: "Yes, there are many people selling these hair bands. My mom and my family can't make them at home in a hurry."
"Oh, really?" Lan Xin nodded, thinking that it's not so easy to fleece this kid. The guy who fleeced the kid before was arrested and put in jail. He was released after three days.
Once the news of using children's burp caps to make hair bands spread, it would be even more difficult to get the raw materials from the health station. But Lan Xin thought again, those who can make money must have their own ways, whether they go to health stations in other counties to get them, or the people in the health stations do it themselves, it is none of her business, and it has nothing to do with her.
Li Jia finally made her selection and paid for a bunch of hair bands. Then she handed the carefully selected hair band to Lan Xin. Lan Xin took it and promised to tell Yingying and Yueyue that it was a gift from their sister Li Jia. Hearing this, Li Jia smiled broadly and trotted into the station.
After watching her get into the car, Lan Xin looked at the hairbands in her hand, twisted her fingers, pulled open the outer layer of one of the hairbands, and looked at the circle of milky yellow stuff inside.
It is indeed this thing.
