Chapter 39 The bread you make is delicious
Lin Jiaojiao directly brought two bowls of chicken noodle soup from the noodle stall not far away and returned to the ox cart. Lin Dadan hurriedly helped to take them and put them on the ox cart.
Seeing that Lin Dadan didn't eat, she urged, "Auntie Lin, eat. Don't be polite to me."
Lin Dadan shook his head. "No, no, your uncle Zhou made me some pancakes. I'm already full. Jiao Jie, you've been busy all day, so eat more."
"Auntie Lin, if this business is good, I will definitely hire you to do the bullock cart in the future. It's like you are my employee, and we can't be harsh on our employees, right? Working with me will definitely give you a lot of benefits, so just enjoy your meal."
Lin Dadan's head was dizzy after being scolded by Lin Jiaojiao. All she understood was that she had to hire a bull cart to pay for the employees' benefits. She felt even more embarrassed. She had earned so much money from Jiaojie, so she had to charge less next time.
Seeing that he still didn't eat, she took a bite and continued to fool people: "Aunt Lin, to tell you the truth, I plan to rent a shop in the city and open a store. When the time comes, I may ask you to help our family with exclusive delivery. I will give you a monthly salary then."
After saying that, he took a sip of chicken soup and continued to fool people.
"I know I will be too busy by then. It would be even better if Uncle Zhou is willing to come and work when he is free. After all, I trust you in the village."
Lin Dadan was so excited that she was already imagining the future. She quickly agreed, "Okay! Aunt Lin will work with you! I'll go back and ask your Uncle Zhou about it. After all, he's the only one who works hard at home and has to take care of the children."
She nodded with satisfaction. "Don't worry, go back and ask Uncle Zhou for his opinion first. Aunt Lin, eat quickly. This noodle won't taste good if it gets cold."
"it is good!"
Lin Dadan's inner restlessness had not yet subsided. He picked up the bowl and just put a chopstick of noodles to his mouth before he realized why he was eating it...
It was still chicken soup for the soul. She felt mixed emotions inside. She must work hard for Jiao Jie'er!
After eating the noodles, Lin Dadan rushed to return the bowl of noodles and let Lin Jiaojiao lie on the ox cart to have a good rest.
She was not pretentious. After being busy for the whole morning, she just lay down on her side and went for a nap.
Lin Family Village.
Lin Yizhi got up early in the morning. His father asked him to rest for a while. When he got up, his dirty clothes had already been taken away by Lin Yiyan for washing.
After lunch, I just cleaned up the kitchen, took off my apron and hung it on the wall, and when I went out the door, I found someone standing at the gate of the yard.
He frowned slightly. Why was it him?
"Brother Lin Shen, what's the matter?"
Lin Shen looked at Lin Yizhi who was approaching him and asking questions. He went to the stream to wash clothes in the morning and waited for Lin Yizhi but he didn't see him. He heard others talking about Lin Jiaojiao hiring a car to go to the city again, so he came here after finishing his meal.
He took out a piece of gauze from his arms and handed it to Lin Yizhi in the yard.
"The bread you made is delicious, thank you. I have already washed the gauze."
After saying that, he left.
Lin Yizhi looked at the gauze in his hand for a long time without saying anything. Lin Yiyan heard the noise and came out. He first glanced at the figure that was already going away, then walked to his side.
"Xiaozhi, are you okay?"
Lin Yizhi recovered and acted as if nothing had happened, "Brother, it's okay."
Then he walked to the kitchen and threw the gauze in his hand directly into the stove where there were still sparks. A big fire started instantly and then disappeared.
...
Lin Jiaojiao woke up not long after sleeping, mainly because she didn't sleep well. She felt hot and smelly, and there were flying insects from time to time.
I sat there, fanning myself with a palm-leaf fan while chatting with Lin Dadan. Before, chatting with her was just awkward conversation like elders, but now it is different. We can imagine our future development together.
Gradually, more and more people gathered on the roadside. Lin Jiaojiao pushed the cart towards the previous location. Before she approached the door of the cloth shop, the shopkeeper inside came directly towards her.
"Sister, you're finally here. I thought you changed your position and sold it."
"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Liu, you have such a great location. I won't be willing to leave until all the goods are sold."
Lin Jiaojiao parked the cart at the door and opened the cloth lid. Shopkeeper Liu was relieved to see there were still so many jam breads.
"Girl, give me five more jam ones."
She took the bread back at noon and let her husband and children taste it. As a result, the youngest daughter insisted on eating the jam one, and she asked for two. She had no choice but to agree. Since the youngest daughter had one, the eldest daughter would definitely want one too, and she would give the extra one to her son.
After paying and taking the wrapped bread, I went back to the store and asked the shop assistant to help me deliver the bread back.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect to have repeat customers so soon. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to sell out. She underestimated the consumption capacity of the city.
A few more repeat customers came later, all of them came to buy jam. Either their children loved it, or their pregnant husbands liked this sour and sweet taste.
In less than half an hour, she had sold half of them. She continued to shout, trying to sell out the goods as soon as possible and go home. At this moment, she heard a shout from behind.
"Lin Jiaojiao?"
She subconsciously turned around and saw that the woman in brocade clothes who called her looked familiar. After carefully identifying her, she remembered who she was.
"Master Fu."
Seeing that it was really Lin Jiaojiao, Fu Ling excitedly stepped forward and pulled her aside and whispered in her ear: "Lin Jiaojiao, you finally showed up! Didn't you know that the soap was sold out that afternoon? People come every day to ask if the goods have arrived? I'm really worried, and I can't find you."
"Ah? Oh, it's so popular, but my friend hasn't come back yet, and I don't have any stock now."
Fu Ling felt very disappointed when he heard this, but then he thought that it had only been a few days since the last time. The fastest time for merchants to go out to sea was more than half a month, and the slowest could take more than one or two years.
But meeting the middleman means I know the progress, but I’m afraid I’ll never find him again.
In fact, she privately went to find several merchants whose families had long been involved in sea trade the next day, but none of them had seen this thing. Now this soap has been sold for ten taels of silver per piece, which has increased several times.
"Which city port is your friend at? Let's go pick her up together!"
Lin Jiaojiao was stunned.
She didn't know either and quickly refused.
"Don't do that. She always came back secretly. After all, the customs inspection is strict. She doesn't want anyone to know. I hope Master Fu can keep it a secret."
When Fu Ling heard this, he looked around quickly. Fearing that others might hear him, he put his hand to his mouth, made a zipper gesture, and nodded cautiously.
At this time, someone came to the stall and asked what this was and how much it was for. Lin Jiaojiao hurried over to greet him.
Fu Ling only then noticed that the cart belonged to Lin Jiaojiao. She saw her letting the customer taste the food and then passing it to her.
She stabbed a piece with a bamboo stick and put it in her mouth. She blinked. What is this? How come it tastes better than the cakes at the largest cake shop in Kyoto that she went to?
"what is this?"
"The one you just ate was jam bread, and the other one was plain."
Fu Ling picked up another piece of original flavor, which was also good, although not as rich in flavor as jam. Seeing that there was not much left in the winnowing basket, she hurriedly said.
"I want the rest, pack them all up."
"Okay, fifteen jams for three hundred coins, nine plain flavors for one hundred and thirty-five coins, a total of four hundred and thirty-five coins."
Fu Ling didn't expect it to be so cheap? She could tell that a lot of sugar was used in this bread. With this price, she was afraid that she couldn't even get back the money she earned from the sugar. This was not the way to do business.
Take this opportunity to remind her to build good relationships to prevent the soap business from being taken away by others.
