190. Zhang is gone

Now Lin Xi's next plan is also supported, and she plans to start selling semi-finished vegetables.

But before she could figure out how to do it and how to sell it, Lin Xi planned to sell some chili peppers in the store first.

So Lin Xi and Shen Chen took some of the red peppers back.

In the afternoon, Lin Xi finished doing some rouge before he really had time to rest.

She didn't cook dinner, dinner was wrapped up by Shen Chen, and Lin Xi was on the side to guide.

Shen Chen saw Lin Xi's tired look and said, "I'm really tired, it's better to close the store for a few more days." ”

Lin Xi shook his head, "I'm just getting started, don't worry." After this period of time has stabilized, I will hire another buddy, and it will be much easier by then. ”

Shen Chen hummed, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Otherwise, we will all move to the county." I can help you then, and you don't have to run back and forth. ”

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, seriously thought about this possibility, and then said, "Yes." The room we live in the shop, I didn't let Xu Wu and them move, so it's better to stay. In this way, when we go to the county in the future, we can live directly in the shop, and our house in Chenyang Village will be locked, and we will not worry about people coming. ”

But Lin Xi felt that the room in the shop was quite simple and not very warm.

If you live there in the winter, you'll die of cold.

Lin Xi said: "I have calculated the profit of these two months, and it is quite profitable, almost making up for the money I collected from the shop." In a few months, the money for renovation should also be earned, and then it will be the real profit. When Zhuo Minghe's road is opened, there will be more money to be made, then we will go to Haixian County to open a branch shop. When the time comes, I will directly buy a house in Haixian County to live. ”

This is also Lin Xi's original intention of cultivating the five Xu brothers.

If she goes to Haixian, the shop here will have to have a henchman to manage it.

It's just that Lin Xi is still inspecting the two brothers, and Xu Wu's ability is far from her requirements.

After listening to what she said, Shen Chen said: "The rental money for the land under your name and I is settled once every six months, and it will almost arrive at the end of the month, and I have a lot of money from hunting in the mountains." If you really want to buy a house in Haixian, you should be able to do so by the end of the year. ”

Lin Xitou shook like a rattle: "If you can't do it, you can't do it!" Your main thing is to rest at home, don't go into the mountains, the mountains are more dangerous! And you are already very tired when you take care of the children at home on weekdays, do household chores, and be distracted from taking care of red peppers. ”

Shen Chen's expression softened, "I'm not tired." ”

Lin Xi still insisted.

Shen Chen's leg finally got better, but he couldn't do anything more.

Shen Chen repeatedly promised that he would not often go into the mountains to hunt, so Lin Xi put a snack. In fact, Lin Xi also knew that most of them were not only Shen Chen, Yan Zhong and they had also started hunting, and the prey should have been handled by Shen Chen. Fortunately, there is a way to Keyunlou, so you don't have to worry about making money.

Although he is a little tired now, Lin Xi looks at the more and more numbers on the account book every day, and happily feels that everything is worth it.

She rested enough, and Shen Chen brought out the fried vegetables and beckoned the children to eat.

Sibao hasn't been too energetic these days, Lin Xi is free at this time, and asked her, "Sibao, is there anything uncomfortable?" How can you look unhappy? ”

Erbao carried the little Mazha and said, "Mother, Sibao is fine, I just miss the eldest brother." ”

Sibao nodded and asked Lin Xi expectantly: "Mother, when can we see the eldest brother?" ”

Lin Xi counted the time and said, "It's almost the end of this month." ”

When Sibao heard this, he became happy and jumped to get the dishes and chopsticks.

Sibao is four years old this year, and he has grown a lot taller, and he can reach the place where he puts the dishes and chopsticks. Ever since she discovered this, she has insisted on starting to learn to do housework, starting with the simple.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was happy, and called Sanbao to eat.

As a result, the family didn't eat for long, and Aunt Zhang suddenly came, and as soon as she entered the yard, she asked anxiously: "Lin Xi, have you seen my brother?" ”

Lin Xi and Shen Chen asked the children to continue eating and got up to go over.

"No, I don't. We're all very busy these days, let alone seeing Zhang Ze, and we don't have time to catch our breath. What happened to him? ”

Aunt Zhang was so anxious that her eyes were red, and she said, "My brother is gone!" I thought that he liked to be with you the most, so I came to ask you if you saw him. ”

"What?!"

Lin Xi and Shen Chen glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry. When did you find out that Zhang Ze was missing? When was the last time you saw him? Did you report the case to the people of the yamen looking for him? ”

Aunt Zhang said: "My family has already gone to report the case." This kid is really not worry-free, originally he was supposed to be coming back from the academy today, but we waited for a day and didn't see anyone, so we went to the academy to ask. But the people at the academy said that he had taken leave and gone home three days ago! ”

"I said it was three days ago, but we didn't see anyone else at all! We searched the county, but we couldn't find anyone with him! ”

Thinking of the bad possibility, Aunt Zhang burst into tears.

"If something happens to him and he gets killed...... How can I live! ”

Lin Xi hurriedly comforted Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, Zhang is clever and will not have an accident." In this way, we helped to find it around the village. ”

She turned her head to look at Shen Chen, "Shen Chen, you drive the carriage to the county to find the village chief." What should I do over there at the Yamen, you are more familiar than the village chief. ”

Shen Chen didn't say much, nodded directly and prepared to leave.

Lin Xi stopped him and asked him to take three buns to eat on the way to fill his stomach.

Aunt Zhang thanked her for her kindness and was in a hurry to find someone to leave first.

Lin Xi went back to the dinner table and said, "You stay at home obediently, and my mother will help Aunt Zhang find someone." My mother didn't come back, you locked the courtyard door, and don't open the door unless your father comes back. ”

Erbao looked at the courtyard door, thought about it, and suddenly said, "Mother, I may know where Brother Zhang Ze is." ”

Lin Xi was stunned, "You know? ”

Erbao nodded and said quickly: "In the past, my brother and I were close to Brother Zhang Ze, and he often told us that he didn't want to study and wanted to do business like your mother. After my brother left, Brother Zhang Ze also went to the academy, and I didn't see him much. But half a month ago, he secretly came back once. At that time, the Three Treasures saw it. ”

Lin Xi looked at the three treasures.

San Bao nodded and said, "It's morning, Dad told us to get up early and run a few laps around the house." I had a stomachache at the time, so I didn't go with my dad and went late. Then I saw Brother Zhang Ze passing by, and he was with a very fat man at the time. Walked so fast that I didn't have time to call him. ”

Lin Xi sighed in his heart, don't Zhang Ze be deceived, right?

She hurriedly asked, "What does that person look like?" ”

San Bao shook his head: "I don't remember." ”

After a pause, he said again: "But he should be in business, otherwise Brother Zhang Ze has no reason to be with him." There is a kind of red clay on his shoes, which he must have been to where there is red clay. He was a little younger than the village chief's grandfather, and his left foot was a little lame. ”
