In addition, she has been with Zhang Xiuniang and Zhao Di for a long time, she is really happy, and she knows that Zhang Xiuniang's family is not the kind of person who is greedy for cheap, otherwise she would not be rejected when she repeatedly invited a few people to live in a new home. [No pop-ups. I even have to make an IOU, thinking about buying land and building a house.

So after thinking about it again, she decided to teach Zhang Xiuniang how to make it, and then find two women to help her soak beans and grind bean juice.

But as soon as she mentioned it, she was politely rejected by Zhang Xiuniang with a smile.

"Baozhu, sister-in-law knows that you have good intentions, but how can you soak beans and grind bean juice to hire someone again, and spend all that money for nothing. I'll dry the yuba after the day, and make some spicy sections later, and when your brother Dayong comes back in the evening, just let him help push some bean juice. Zhang Xiuniang is used to living a hard life, and she is also used to it, so she feels that it is a waste of money for Lin Baozhu to hire someone to work for her. Immediately shook his head and said no, and by the way, he also decided to go to the teahouse to help with the work in the next few days, after all, Aunt Ota will have some days to come back.

In fact, for Zhang Xiuniang, Lin Baozhu still feels very pity, after all, she has craftsmanship. However, the work of Yuba and Spicy Duan Ye also needs to be managed, and she also has the heart to go elsewhere with her man to see the market, if she can find a few more businesses, it will naturally be better.

In addition, there are really few people in the village who she thinks are reliable, Aunt Ma and Aunt Tian are the old people in the village in the end, and the people who lead people to pick tea and make tea also control everyone. And although Zhang Xiuniang said that her skills were good, she came from outside, and she had no prestige in the village and was not familiar with each other's temperament and personality.

After this calculation, it is not bad to let her take charge of the food workshop for the time being.

In the next few days, in addition to teaching Zhaodi and Zhang Xiuniang to read and write, Lin Baozhu also began to teach the two of them simple methods of bookkeeping and collection. Compared with ancient characters, the bookkeeping method of Arabic numerals and running accounts is very easy to learn, but in three or five days, the two of them can figure out simple accounts.

And Lin Baozhu and Zhang Manchu also successfully moved into their new home three or five days later. Of course, compared to the high blue brick walls of the new house, the fence on the thatched house side was not reliable, so the big wolf stayed there for the time being.

The days passed day by day, and the water flowed calmly and comfortably. Zhang Kee Tea House and Zhang Ji Food Shop are also running separately. Especially in Zhang Ji Restaurant, as the bean curd and spicy section gradually became a common side dish for everyone, more and more people came to order, and in order to maintain the advantage of the Qin shopkeeper, whenever Lin Baozhu had any fresh tricks to make, he would be the first to set the first few batches. As a result, the business naturally became more and more prosperous, and even some grocery stores were found to buy some dry goods to sell.

Due to the sudden increase in the amount of goods, Lin Baozhu discussed with Zhang Xiuniang and invited a few aunts to help with the work. Of course, they are all looking for honest people who don't like to chew the root of their tongues, and they also signed a work contract when they came, and they must ensure that they do not pass on what they see, and if they find out, they will compensate for the loss of the workshop.

Originally, it was the wish of many people in the village to work in Zhang Ji, but now who doesn't know that Zhang Ji has a lot of wages and the main family is generous, and more importantly, he will not deduct their wages at all. So not to mention the contract that Lin Baozhu asked, even if someone came to inquire, those working aunts just kept their mouths shut and didn't mention it.

So up to now, the people in the village only know that Zhang Manchu and Lin Baozhu are two people who are lucky to operate, make a living and make a living, and can sell tea and food, but they don't know more details.

However, this does not prevent the big guys from conjecturing and speculating, and Zhang Lizheng is naturally happy about all this, after all, it is the whole village that benefits now. I didn't see those villagers who used to cry and live with their belts every day, but now they are all in good spirits, plus farming and work, every household has more or less surplus items in their hands.

Of course, he hopes that the whole village can be like this in the future, but he is not an unreasonable person, and he knows that no matter how much he hopes, there is no reason to force the Zhang family to be responsible for the entire village.

It is precisely because of this thinking that he has never added color to some people who chew his tongue with him and say that the Zhang family is not kind. If he encounters the other party's family and also makes a living, he will even reprimand him coldly.

Anyway, anyway, there are more and more people who are grateful to Zhang Ji now.

Now the family's business is getting better and better, and the two workshops are on the right track, although the family still owes money, but compared to the expectations for the future, those are nothing.

When he was free, Lin Baozhu would also cook a fancy meal, and then asked his man to call Xiuniang's sister-in-law's family to eat. The big guy is eating and chatting about homely things, chatting about the past from time to time, and then looking forward to a better life in the future, that day is really delicious.

No, leaving the two big men to drink and eat in the main hall, Lin Baozhu and Zhang Xiuniang took Zhaodi to the wing room to rest. After eating enough, it is rare for the mother to take a break for half a day to get together and talk, and the atmosphere is really leisurely and comfortable.

Now there are people doing work in the food workshop, of course, everyone has their own work, but the most important place is still in the hands of Lin Baozhu and Zhang Xiuniang, so the two of them are a lot more idle but they haven't caused other trouble.

During the period, it was not that no one stole Zhang Ji to learn something, and then went back to toss and make it himself, but unfortunately there was no Lin Baozhu's courage to say that he would buy a workshop. What's more, now the biggest customers are buying in Zhang Kee, and she doesn't care about some small stalls on the edge. However, although Lin Baozhu didn't care, those people still liked to deal with Zhang Ji, and the price was not too high and it didn't have to be higher than the workshop that followed the trend later. Second, the amount given by Zhang Ji is sufficient, and the price is about the same, but the finished dishes are really more than those of others.

No one is stupid, and there is no need to lose the real benefits of affordability in order to save a few pennies on the surface.

Zhang Xiuniang saw that Lin Baozhu was always stumbling when sewing clothes, and from time to time she pierced herself, so she couldn't help but smile and stretched out her hand to take it, helping to sew and teach how to get a needle. Zhao Di on the side also took a closer look, and by the way, she helped Aunt Baozhu and her mother-in-law to stretch the thread.

"Zhao Di, why haven't you seen Xing'er come to play with you recently, don't be awkward." Lin Baozhu saw that Zhao Di had followed Zhang Xiuniang every day for the past few days, and she didn't want to go to Xing'er to mow the grass or catch small fish to feed the chickens and ducks after eating like before, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.

These two xiǎo jiě sisters have always been focused since they got acquainted, so they suddenly don't get together, isn't it surprising?

"I don't know, it seems to mean that there are people from Yangjiazhuang coming to visit relatives these days, and Xing'er will not be able to work for a while." Zhao Di tilted her head, following Lin Baozhu's usual appearance, and spread her hands to say that it was none of her business. Then he sighed, shook his head like a little adult, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with Grandma Ma, I'm always at home with Xing'er." ”

knew that the two of them did not have a conflict, and remembered that she seemed to have heard Aunt Ma say that her sister-in-law helped Xing'er talk about family affairs, and vaguely remembered that it seemed to be Yangjiazhuang's. However, at that time, Aunt Ma was only happy to see her teeth and eyes, and said that she had not yet negotiated, and it was not easy to publicize, so she was not embarrassed to ask about Xing'er's reputation.

At this time, when I heard Zhao Di talk about it, it was estimated that someone from Yangjiazhuang was there.

Thinking of this, Lin Baozhu couldn't help sighing, the ancients got married earlier. But at the age of thirteen, he is still a child, so he has to look at others. Even though it was a happy event, she really couldn't laugh.

But she also knows that this is the general environment of today's world, if she doesn't marry her daughter early, I'm afraid she will have to invite other gossip.

In a trance, she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she heard a tea farmer in the mountains say that the grandfather of the family once said that it is better to be ugly than to be handsome. It's probably the same helplessness, the old man is worried that the younger girls in the family will be remembered and killed, especially the handsome people in the turbulent years are simply guilty. And now

Seeing that Aunt Baozhu's mood suddenly dropped, Zhao Di was a little worried, hesitated for a moment, and called worriedly: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine, just remembering something." In the end, it is a person of two eras, Xu is own idea is shocking in the eyes of others, in order not to scare others, and not to worry about Zhao Di and Xiuniang is sister-in-law, she had to cheer up and say, "It's really not easy to think about being a woman."

When Zhang Xiuniang heard this, she also sighed, isn't it, the world is really unfair to women. But what is the way, fortunately, the man she met is still painful, and it didn't really make her disheartened.

The men talked for a while, until the two of them had drunk enough in the outhouse, and then they went over to clean up.

In the blink of an eye, it was August again, and the people who planted crops in the village were about to harvest budding rice sticks. In addition, there have been a lot of tea making recently, and the Anping Tea Shop has been a little unable to eat, and the shopkeeper Xu has also faintly mentioned a few times that he will reduce the purchase in the next few months. And the next few towns haven't opened up a market yet, so she simply let the big guy take two shifts to rest.

First, everyone has time to take care of the work at home, and secondly, it also gives a job to those who don't have much land at home, so that the family will not be cut off.

Her kindness naturally attracted the gratitude of many people. The big guy felt more and more that the gossip of the Zhang family was not kind, and some people even helped Zhang Manchu collect the grain and potatoes in the budding rice field in the back mountain after his own work was done.
