CHAPTER 326: CHAPTER 323: BRINGING MOSQUITO COILS HOME FOR THE FAMILY

Su Yanwei attended a private college in another province. Their school had a driving school, and they were almost forced to have everyone obtain a driver’s license, so he possessed a driver’s license before graduating.

At this moment, seeing Lin Wanwan’s Cayenne, he naturally liked it very much. Lin Wanwan noticed this and simply let him drive.

"Sister Wanwan, don’t worry, my driving skills are okay."

Although Su Yanwei didn’t own a car himself, he often drove for classmates and friends. His driving skills were indeed decent, and he could chat casually with Lin Wanwan while driving.

"Sister Wanwan, your company was just registered this year, and the brand isn’t well-known yet. It might be difficult to get into Times Square. Have you thought of changing the location? Yintai City might be okay."

"Recently, our company has been trending twice, so we have gained some popularity. Quite a few people in the Hanfu circle follow us now. When we participate in a few embroidery exhibitions and competitions, we’ll gain fame. I don’t fancy other places; I must enter Times Square."

"The bit of fame from trending isn’t enough to impress them. Sister Wanwan, think about the level of merchants currently in Times Square. They won’t just allow any brand to enter."

Lin Wanwan laughed, "That’s precisely why I want to get in. The harder it is, the more determined I am. I’d rather not open a physical shop until I get in."

Su Yanwei pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, Sister Wanwan, have you considered asking Lu Shouyue for help? I see he is your friend. From what I’ve heard about Lu Shouyue, he might have some connections with Times Square, possibly more promising than struggling with that Mr. Chen. By the way, do you know about Lu Shouyue’s background?"

Lin Wanwan sighed, "I don’t like to ask about people’s family backgrounds, so I don’t know. He’s a small boss from Buzhou Studio near Sun Lake, dealing with antiques and a visiting professor at Yongcheng University. Do you know Wang Bocheng, the national husband?"

"I know, he’s so famous. Anyone who uses the internet knows him."

"He’s friends with Teacher Lu, and they’re quite close. Birds of a feather flock together, so Teacher Lu’s background mustn’t be bad. But anyway, I’ll put in my own efforts for now."

"Okay, then I’ll wait for your good news."

The car drove to the entrance of the demolition area where Su Yanwei lived, and the two parted ways. Lin Wanwan got back into the driver’s seat and headed back.

Speaking of which, she hadn’t contacted Lu Shouyue for a while. He used to leave her WeChat messages often, but there hadn’t been any lately.

However, Lin Wanwan was now financially independent and wasn’t in desperate need to sell anything, so there wasn’t a compelling reason to contact him.

Now, managing some embroidery and seafood is enough.

Lin Wanwan wasn’t greedy. So far, she had about fifteen million in savings, a small villa in Yongcheng, and a house in Hai City given by her parents, so she had a house, car, and savings enough for a comfortable life.

For now, dealing with antiques, with its high risks, wasn’t on her agenda.

Although Lin Wanwan’s bank balance couldn’t compare to true tycoons, she held several national treasures!

She had paintings by Gu Yewang, a Jiaowei Zither by Cai Yong, an Imperial Decree as Village Lady issued by Li Shimin, the Mei Le Pearl given by Qingyu, and a recent painting and Master’s Kung Hou gifted by Xiao Chong. Any of these items taken out could have her lying on a pile of money.

Someone with a backup plan is just that confident.

After getting home and collecting her package, which contained a can of A2 stage three milk formula, two cans of INNE liquid calcium magnesium zinc, Liguo DHA gummies, and vitamin gummies for Qingyu.

She had to open the milk formula first to pour it into a disinfected sealed glass jar, then open the liquid calcium’s small packages to pour them into a sterilized porcelain jar, and also transfer the gummies to a disinfected glass jar.

Doing these things was particularly stress-relieving, and Lin Wanwan quite enjoyed it.

Every time she bought a month’s supply for Qingyu, worrying that the wrapping change would lead to quick spoilage, a month’s period was just right.

Besides the food, she also bought a lot of mosquito repellent coils to bring back to the clan, including sandalwood and fragrance-free types.

The weather was heating up. Lin Family Manor, nestled beside mountains and rivers, had beautiful scenery but suffered from rampant mosquitoes, posing significant risks to the bitten children.

Actually, in the Great Tang period, people also had mosquito repellent substitutes made by twisting mugwort leaves into a rope and burning it to repel mosquitoes. But the effect wasn’t as good as modern mosquito coils.

The nobles had mosquito coils made from spices, effective but expensive, beyond the reach of ordinary folks.

However, the mosquito coils Lin Wanwan bought from the modern times were good quality and cheap, their killing power in the Tang Dynasty was great — simply a must for home use.

After getting everything ready, Lin Wanwan went back to her room on the second floor and opened the Space-Time Gate to return to the Great Tang.

Today, they were going back to Wanghai Lin Family Manor. The Red Face Smile Shop in Xiaoxi Town was already on track, and Lin Wanwan no longer needed to watch over it constantly. As for the Embroidery Workshop, with the old nanny sent by Xiao Chong managing it, Lin Wanwan didn’t need to worry.

Therefore, Lin Wanwan didn’t plan to continue living in Lin Mansion in Xiaoxi Town; returning to the seaside house was more comfortable.

Before leaving, Lin Wanwan sent Sun Chuyao to deliver six boxes of sandalwood mosquito coils to both Xiao Chong and the Wang Family, where Qingyu was studying, enough for two months.

In modern times, a box of mosquito coils costs only three RMB and fifty cents. However, such sandalwood mosquito coils in the Great Tang were valuable, not a bit embarrassing for Lin Wanwan to give as gifts.

The horse carriage rumbled forward; Kun Lun was the coachman, while Xiao Yixun’s male and female servant rode horses following at the back. Before the sunset, the carriage brought Lin Wanwan, Qingyu, Xiao Yixun, and Xiao Rongrong to the village entrance.

As they entered the village, children fresh out of school chased after the carriage, calling out "Teacher Lin" repeatedly. Lin Wanwan took out a handful of vitamin and DHA gummies and distributed one to each child gathered around, making them extremely happy.

Qingyu snatched the glass jar, saying she wanted to hide it herself. Actually, she wanted to eat more, but Mom only let her have one a day, which made her unhappy.

If she couldn’t eat it, holding it was also good enough.

After getting off the carriage, Hua Nong immediately went into the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Hong Yan carried a basket full of fragrance-free mosquito coils, following Lin Wanwan to the Lin Clan Leader’s house.

The Lin Clan Leader was collecting dried fish in the yard when he saw Lin Wanwan coming over and smilingly asked her, "Is everything done with the shop?"

Lin Wanwan nodded, "Yes, Uncle Clan Leader, everything’s done."

She turned her head to look at Hong Yan, who smiled and stepped forward, placing the basket at the door of the Lin Clan Leader’s house. The Mistress Niushi was inside weaving, and when she raised her head to see the basket’s contents, she was curious.

The Lin Clan Leader frowned and asked Lin Wanwan, "What’s this about? Why bring me something out of the blue?"

Lin Wanwan replied, "The weather’s hot, and there are too many mosquitoes. I brought some mosquito coils for everyone. Uncle Clan Leader, could you help distribute them?"

The Lin Clan Leader walked up, took a box, looked at it, and protested, "This thing is quite precious. What’s the need to give it away? You better take it back yourself. Why are you always so casual with it? Can’t seem to talk sense into you."
