Chapter 105 Small business also has big profits
Second update, please pink.

Lian Man'er didn't say the next half sentence directly, but the meaning she wanted to express was already very obvious.
Lian Duoer looked at Lian Man'er's somewhat dazed expression and smiled.
"You won't understand." Lian Duoer's tone said lightly.
Of course, Lian Man'er also saw Lian Duoer's smile. It was when she was very young in her previous life. Some of the girls who were precocious than her had boyfriends very early. These girls usually gathered together and whispered to each other, but they disdained the little dazed girls like Lian Man'er. Lian Duoer's smile was a girl who thought she knew people and her superiority to a ignorant "silly girl".
Lian Man'er touched her forehead.
"Duoer, as you say, it's not that he kidnapped you, he is so kind to you. At that time, when you saw your father and elder brother beat him, why didn't you say something for him?" Lian Man'er couldn't help asking.
Lian Duoer's cheeks were redder, but this time she was angry.
"Do you think I'm a fool? I can't help Brother Qian at all, and it's not good for me either."
"Oh." Lian Man'er looked at Lian Duoer and said.
"You won't understand." Lian Duoer gave Lian Man'er another look that you won't understand.
Lian Man'er didn't comment.
"Sister Man'er," Lian Duoer looked around again, "You go to the town tomorrow, tell Brother Qian for me that I will remember him."
Lian Man'er touched her forehead again.
"Duoer, you don't know yet. After the eldest uncle took you away that day, the eldest uncle and the eldest brother, the second brother beat your eldest brother, and drove him away. He also said that if he was still in our county, he would send him to the county government to be beaten to death."
"I know." Lian Duoer said.
Lian Man'er was surprised again. Since Lian Duoer knew about this, why did she ask her to send a message?
"You didn't watch him leave, are you? Brother Qian won't leave. He will definitely wait for me." Lian Duoer said confidently.
Where did you get this confidence? Lian Man'er was speechless.
"Sister Man'er, you must bring this sentence to Brother Qian for me." Lian Duoer begged Lian Man'er again.
Lian Man'er felt that she could not understand Lian Duoer, and she wanted to refuse Lian Duoer's request. However, Lian Duoer begged so earnestly, and then she thought that the peddler of money was beaten and intimidated, and must have left long ago.
"Okay, I'll go to the town to send you a message." Lian Man'er said. "But if he has left, I have no choice."
"As long as you are willing, it's fine. Brother Qian must not leave." Lian Duoer nodded happily.
"I promised you. But you also want to help me." Lian Man'er said to Lian Duoer.
Lian Duoer's mouth drooped a little. It was indeed not that easy to ask Lian Man'er to do things.
"Don't be afraid, it's not a big deal. It's good for you." Lian Man'er patted Lian Duoer on the shoulder, "If your sister Huaer thinks about any bad ideas, remember to tell me."
Lian Duoer blinked for a moment and said nothing.
"Think about it, who will end up suffering from those ideas that your sister Huaer came up with? If you hadn't exchanged me for money first, I wouldn't let you go back to the town, you're not used to eating coarse grains and doing coarse work now, right? If your sister Huaer hadn't instigated her aunt behind her back and hurt my mother, could she punish you for doing coarse work? As a result, your sister Huaer injured her leg and you were scared away. If you hadn't met the money peddler, what would you be like now?" Lian Man'er gave Lian Duoer two examples, "If your sister Huaer came up with a bad idea, I'm afraid she wouldn't marry into the Song family. By then, you will have to stay in this old house for the rest of your life and eat braised vegetables."
"Duoer, are you willing?" Lian Man'er asked again after saying that.
Lian Duoer shook her head immediately.
"That's right. Remember what I said, don't tell your mother and Sister Huaer." After Lian Man'er said that, she turned around and left. She did not expect Lian Duoer to inform her. Instead, she believed that Lian Duoer would definitely tell Gu Shi and Lian Huaer her words. And this was exactly what she wanted. Through Lian Duoer, she told Gu Shi and Lian Huaer not to make trouble anymore, otherwise, they would be themselves who would end up suffering.
The next day, Lian Man'er, Wulang and Xiaoqi brought more than 20 kilograms of garlic peanuts to the town to sell. Now her garlic peanuts are selling well, and in just half an hour, they were almost sold.
"Oh, I'm late, why is this little left?" A young man dressed in a young man hurried over and saw only a basket of peanuts left, and immediately said regretful.
"Brother, don't look at these, at least it's more than one pound? How much do you want?" Lian Man'er asked with a smile.
"It's our shopkeeper who wants it, and he wants as much as he has." The young man replied.
"Who is your shopkeeper?"
"Our shopkeeper's surname is Wu." The young man replied, "This way, I'll want all the remaining peanuts."
"Okay." Lian Man'er weighed the peanuts, "One and a half pounds, tall, a total of thirty cents."
"Okay." The guy counted thirty cents from his purse and handed them to Goro to collect them. "I didn't bring you guys, our store is right in front of me, why don't you guys go there with me?"
"Okay." Lian Man'er looked at the direction of the guy's finger and agreed.
The three children carried the basket and followed the guy to a restaurant, which was the largest restaurant in the town, Yuelai Restaurant.
"It's this one." The young man said, "Come in with me. The shopkeeper asked me to buy more. You don't have it anymore. The shopkeeper wants to scold me for not being able to do business. Please help me explain to the shopkeeper."
Lian Man'er smiled secretly in her heart. The young man seemed to have attracted them on purpose. He didn't know what was his idea. But there was nothing to worry about. They were from the local area and were in the town's market day. There were people coming and going outside, so they were not afraid of anyone playing tricks.
Lian Man'er followed the young man and entered the restaurant. The young man and his three children stopped at the door of a private room.
"Our shopkeeper is inside." The young man said and knocked on the door.
The door opened immediately. The young man led Lian Man'er and three inside.
There was a table in the center of the private room, with various refreshments on it, and on the main seat was a man in poplin. This man looked about forty years old, with big ears and very fat figure. Beside him, there was a man in cotton silk, who looked older than him.
"Shopkeeper, you asked me to buy only these left." The young man hurriedly went forward to greet him and handed over the peanuts he bought.
The man standing next to him quickly picked up peanuts, put them on another plate, and placed them in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man reached out and grabbed two pieces, broke them and ate them.
"It's not bad, it's just too few?" the middle-aged man nodded.
"Miss, do you have such peanuts in your family?" asked the standing man.
Lian Man'er's eyes slammed the two of them and then smiled.
"Is this Mr. Wu?" Lian Man'er asked.
"Yes. This is our shopkeeper Wu." The standing man said.
"Uncle Wu, how many peanuts do you want?" Lian Man'er asked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and stretched out his two fingers.
"You need two hundred kilograms first."
Two hundred kilograms. The three children looked at each other. Not to mention two hundred kilograms, they were gone even twenty kilograms. Their wool peanuts were only ten kilograms left. That was what they planned to keep for their own food. Today is the last time they sold these garlic peanuts. But the amount of 200 kilograms is so attractive. They don’t have peanuts themselves, but they can buy them. After making garlic peanuts, they can earn eight cents per kilogram, so two hundred kilograms is 1,600 cents, which is one tael and five cents of silver. That’s half acre of land.
Lian Man'er's heart was moved.
"Yes." Lian Man'er nodded immediately.
"However, I'm a little anxious." Manager Wu glanced at Lian Man'er and said slowly.
"How anxious are you?" Lian Man'er asked.
"Two hundred kilograms, I'll want them tomorrow." Manager Wu said.
"Tomorrow won't work, I need two days." Lian Man'er thought about it and replied.
"Two days, it will take so long?" Manager Wu frowned slightly.
"Mr. Wu, you don't know. Now that other people's peanuts are still dry, I need time to collect peanuts." Lian Man'er replied.
"Okay, I'll give you two days. The evening after tomorrow, I'll ask for the 200 kilograms of garlic peanuts." Manager Wu was also very straightforward.
"Man'er, why don't we make it so quickly if we 200 kilograms of peanuts?" Wuro pulled Lian Man'er's clothes and whispered in her ear. If you want to buy peanuts, you have to wash, soak, cook, and dry. In two days, they can't make so many garlic peanuts.
"Don't worry, I have a way." Lian Man'er turned her head and said to Goro in a low voice.
"How can the little girl keep her word?" Manager Wu looked at Lian Man'er, then looked at Wuro.
"Of course, count." Lian Man'er said.
"My sister/my sister says something counts." Although Goro and Xiaoqi had questions in their hearts, they both expressed their support for Lian Man'er in front of outsiders at this time.
"We say nothing, let's do it. We live in Sanshiliyingzi. I don't think we need to make any documents. Mr. Wu, how about you pay half of our deposit first?" Lian Man'er said.
If you don’t establish a document, you will also need a deposit.
"Half the deposit, that's fine." Manager Wu quickly agreed, "But if you can't pay 200 garlic peanuts in two days, you will have to accept the punishment."
"Okay, no problem." Lian Man'er nodded and agreed without even asking about the punishment he was.
Goro and Xiaoqi both pulled Lian Man'er's sleeves from behind, but Lian Man'er smiled and ignored them.
"The little girl is really happy. OK, come and get a hanging of money." Manager Wu seemed very happy.
The man standing next to him walked behind the screen and latched money out with a tray.
Lian Man'er put the money into the basket and asked Goro to carry it.
"Little girl, let's see you in two days." said Manager Wu.
"Well, one word is certain." Lian Man'er nodded.
The three children walked out of the restaurant, and Goro and Xiaoqi frowned tightly.
"Man'er, let's go home quickly and find a way." Wulang said.
"No hurry, let's go to the wine shop first." Lian Man'er said, and walked towards the wine shop first.
As soon as I walked to the corner of the street, I saw a man turning out of the thorn and blocking Lian Man'er.
