Chapter 27: Changing Scissors and Kitchen Knives
Shen Lin's words made the people who were drinking open their eyes wide.
What does ten yuan mean? That is their living expenses for one month. No, for many people, that is two months' living expenses.
These young boys all eat at home, and even if they go to work, they often only have a few dollars in their pockets after their mothers take their wages.
Not to mention those who don’t have any salary.
Qiangzi's face suddenly turned red. Although he had a job, he was only a temporary worker in the tertiary industry of the factory.
The salary is not high, and it is paid sporadically. So much so that when I see meat, my eyes light up.
"Brother Shen, are you telling the truth?" Qiangzi, who was moved, asked anxiously.
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Of course it's true. We are all good friends. How can I cheat you?"
Guangzi looked at Shen Lin who was full of confidence, and felt that Shen Lin was completely different now. In the past, Shen Lin talked to them carelessly, as if he was the best in the world.
They were flattering him on the surface, but in fact, they were not here for Shen Lin's money. Although what Shen Lin said was very ordinary now, driven by the desire to make money, the eyes they looked at Shen Lin were full of expectations.
"Brother Shen, how much should we pay for these things?" A young man with a red face after drinking a bottle of beer looked at Shen Lin anxiously.
Shen Lin picked up the bottle and clinked it with the young man and said, "If I take it directly, I think it will be troublesome to bargain."
At this point, he pointed at Guangzi and said, "Guangzi, didn't your hardware factory produce a batch of defective scissors and kitchen knives?"
"Yeah!" Guangzi smacked his lips and said, "Nowadays, even good quality scissors and kitchen knives are hard to sell, not to mention the defective ones. How can we be in such a dilemma?"
"Each of you can buy dozens of scissors and kitchen knives and go to various communities to exchange them for old home appliances."
"If the quality of the home appliances is good, you should give more, and if the quality is not good, you should give less."
Guangzi and the others listened to Shen Lin's words, each of them half believing and half doubting. Can you really exchange small items such as defective scissors and kitchen knives for old household appliances?
"Brother Shen, can those defective scissors and kitchen knives really be exchanged for old household appliances?" Guangzi asked somewhat unconfidently.
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Why not? Think about it. Those old appliances can't be used in my house. They can only be thrown into the corner and collect dust."
"But our scissors and kitchen knives can be used!"
Being able to use two words made Guangzi and others' eyes brighten. They felt that this thing could really be done.
"Brother Shen, we have collected a lot of things, you can't refuse to accept them!" Guangzi was very cautious in doing things. He was afraid that Shen Lin would go back on his word, so he said to General Shen Lin again.
How could Shen Lin not see through this childish trick? He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shen Lin's words are as good as nails, and they definitely count."
"Brother Shen, you are so generous. Come, let's toast to Brother Shen together." Guangzi picked up the wine bottle and said enthusiastically.
At this time, the proprietress came up with two plates of fried pork with peppers. Looking at Shen Lin who was surrounded by people toasting, she shook her head slightly.
This young man is good in every way except that he can't stand the praise. Why do people call you brother now? Isn't it because of the money in your pocket?
Shen Lin didn't know that in the eyes of the proprietress, he had already become an object of pity. While drinking, Shen Lin sold the skills of replacing home appliances to Guangzi and others around him, and several of them were eager to take action immediately.
Although no more dishes were served, both bundles of beer were finished. Shen Lin, who was drinking happily, saw that everyone was not enjoying themselves and wanted to order more beer, but was told by the proprietress that there was no more beer.
They have drunk all the beer in Ermei Restaurant!
In the end, Shen Lin paid eight or nine yuan for the meal, and the money was mainly spent on beer and stewed chicken.
After eating and drinking, Shen Lin declined the invitation from Guangzi and others to play cards, and strode towards home.
After watching Shen Lin leave, Guangzi and others did not leave. They looked at Shen Lin's figure under the dim light, and no one knew what they were thinking.
"Guangzi, do you think the method Shen Lin said is reliable?" Finally, a short young man with a flat head and a scar on his face asked Guangzi.
Guangzi hesitated for a moment and said, "If you don't believe it, you don't have to do it."
"Is Shen Lin different from before?" A young man standing in the corner said with emotion, "Although I just drank with him, I feel that he is very far away from me."
"That's right. I feel like Shen Lin is a bit strange."
Guangzi was also thinking about Shen Lin's changes at this time. Although he felt that Shen Lin had changed a lot, he didn't know how to describe these changes in Shen Lin at this time.
"Okay, stop talking about these useless things. Let's go play a few more rounds to level up while it's still early."
Following this proposal, most people headed towards the dilapidated factory area.
Although Shen Lin drank, he was not drunk. On the contrary, he was still a little excited.
Finding a way for Guangzi and the others to make money, and using them to get more broken electrical appliances, is a win-win situation for Shen Lin.
As long as he can get this done, then he will be able to open an with almost no chance of success...
When he came downstairs, Shen Lin saw that the lights in his house were on. Although he couldn't see the figures under the lights clearly, Shen Lin's heart was warmed by the lights.
It feels really good to have someone waiting for you to go home...
When Shen Lin walked into the house, Lu Xiaorong was reading a book. Seeing Shen Lin pushing the door and walking in, Lu Xiaorong showed a hint of a smile on his face.
However, this smile came and disappeared quickly. In an instant, Lu Xiaorong continued reading.
"Xiaorong, go to bed early. You still have to go to work tomorrow. You don't have to wait for me." Shen Lin said with a smile as he looked at Lu Xiaorong who was flipping through a book.
Lu Xiaorong raised his head and said, "I wasn't waiting for you. I was just attracted by the content of the novel."
As he spoke, Lu Xiaorong raised the book in his hand and said, "This science fiction story is quite good. It says that robots will appear in the future to help us with our work."
Looking at Lu Xiaorong who looked yearning, Shen Lin said with a smile: "Writing about robots and science fiction stories is really embarrassing..."
"This robot is not a science fiction story. Can you tell me what a science fiction story is?" Lu Xiaorong sat up and said to Shen Lin with a reproachful look.
Shen Lin, who had drunk a little wine, looked at Lu Xiaorong's angry face and felt for the first time that he didn't know Lu Xiaorong well enough.
