When Lin Xi, Shen Chen, and Erbao set off to return to Ruyanghai County, it was already early December.

In the middle of winter, heavy snow falls and the weather is frozen.

On the way back, they bought a lot of charcoal and cotton clothes to carry, and the carriage was large enough, and there was always a small stove in it, on which ginger soup was boiled, and from time to time they drank a little to ward off the cold.

Especially Shen Chen, who was sitting outside to catch the car, facing the wind and snow, he was especially cold, and when Lin Xi left, he bought him a big coat with deep fox fur and cotton gloves. Afraid that his legs, which he had finally recovered, would recur from the old injuries, Lin Xi was not at ease and covered him with two layers of mattresses on his legs.

In fact, Lin Xi also wanted to go out to catch the car by himself, so that he could exchange with Shen Chen and let him rest for a while. But Shen Chen resolutely disagreed.

Lin Xi told him to stop after a while, come in and roast the fire to keep warm, and then go out.

In the evening, try to stay at the inn or stay in a nearby village or town.

Sometimes the three of them can't hurry up and can only spend the night on the side of the road in the woods, and the family of three huddles together to sleep warmly.

At this time, Shen Chen often got up the next day unconsciously and continued to hurry, and Lin Xi and Erbao would wake up in the swaying of the carriage.

In addition to hurrying, the family of three also has their own things to do, for example, Lin Xi is reading the letter received by the previous Flying Pigeon Biography, which indicates the operation of the treasure building and the department store.

What makes Lin Xi relieved is that after nearly two years of training, Zhang Ze and the five brothers Xu can already be on their own to a considerable extent. When she and Shen Chen were not there, the three of them ran a few shops well, and they also expanded the scale and recruited a number of guys.

Usually, the five Xu brothers will watch the head shop in Pingxian, and Zhang will go to the shop in Haixian to manage it.

Even her long-planned self-heating pot business, they dutifully supervised the production and production. When Zhuo Minghe led the caravan to deliver the goods, Zhang Ze also followed him to deliver it for a while, and only returned after making sure that there was no problem, and then carried out other businesses in an orderly manner.

Even in the mountain village where peppers are grown, Ding Yue also managed it well, and there was nothing wrong.

In general, in the month when she and Shen Chen were away, everything was running well over there, which made Lin Xi quite satisfied.

She thought that the business of a few shops would definitely be bigger next year, and since they had already opened sales channels in the north, they naturally had to open branch shops there. It should be considered by the end of next year at the latest. When the time comes, it will be inconvenient for her and Shen Chen to go over, so they will have to have trustworthy hands to go over.

At present, her most trusted person must be Zhang Ze; Xu five brothers.

Among them, the most suitable should be Zhang Ze, Zhang Ze is a more flexible person, not lacking in stability, usually more sweet-mouthed, and now dealing with guests is a lot smoother, but also smart.

In this way, after Zhang Ze has been training for another year and has developed his own habits, he can be sent to take people to the north. The first shop in the north doesn't need to be too big, and it should be a test of the water, so it shouldn't be too stressful for Zhang Ze. If she asks Zhuo Minghe to take care of it more, there should be no problem.

There are semicolon shops, and there are no less caravans coming and going from the south to the north.

Always hire other caravans, and you can't be completely assured, it's better to have their own caravans. At that time, not only will they be at ease, but they will also be able to take orders from other shops to make money.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi directly lifted the curtain and called Shen Chen outside.

"Shen Chen, I have something to tell you."

Shen Chen looked back at her, pulled her into his arms, covered her tightly with a mattress, and leaned sideways to shield her from the wind.

He asked, "Say what?" ”

Lin Xi said: "Now that Yan Zhong and they are no longer sinners, then there is no problem with walking from south to north and south." Do you think we're going to open our own caravans...... It's still a dart game, there are many things that can be transported, and there are many types of customers for it. Let's open a dart game and hire Yan Zhong and them, how about it? ”

Shen Chen was surprised: "Why do you suddenly want to start a dart game?" ”

Lin Xi told him about his idea of opening a shop in the north, and at the end he added: "It's more reassuring to open a shop by yourself." In fact, it is not only a dart game, I also want to open our most basic money bank, cloth village, grain village, restaurant, etc. ”

According to Lin Xi's own ambitions, of course, she can get a little hands, and she wants to do an industry that will not be hindered by others!

However, those are too large and expensive, and their family's current background is completely insufficient, so they come step by step. Let's start with the semicolon of the department store and the treasure building, and at the same time ensure the basic safety of the dart game.

She has thought about it, make money next year, save money, go to the north to open a branch the year after tomorrow, escort the dart bureau to and from the source of goods, and after two or three years of development, she will get involved in the money bank.

Shen Chen quietly listened to Lin Xi's grand plan, and had no opinions, and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Yan Zhong and them when I go back." ”

Lin Xi hesitated.

Shen Chen asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Xi motioned for him to bow his head and said cautiously: "Doesn't the dart game need manpower, I think...... You can gather the soldiers from your former army who are still unarmoured and serve as the men of the dart board. ”

Shen Chen was suddenly stunned, looked down at Lin Xi, and his Adam's apple rolled.

"Lady, do you know what you're talking about?"

Of course Lin Xi knew.

Isn't this just raising private soldiers in disguise, but they can't pick anything out of their names, and they can be trained in a righteous and bright way.

Lin Xi grabbed his collar tightly and said, "What are you in contact with now...... It's getting more and more dangerous, and our house bar is quite special. Although you didn't say much, I actually knew that there would be more and more unexpected in the future. Then let's raise some manpower just in case, and be prepared, ...... Nothing. ”

So Lin Xi thought about it, and thought that the idea of opening a dart game was very good.

Shen Chen's eyes deepened, "But ......"

"I think my mother is right."

The curtain of the car was suddenly opened, and Erbao poked his head out.

Lin Xi was startled, "Erbao, did you hear that?" ”

Erbao nodded, looked at Shen Chen, and calmly analyzed: "Dad, if we don't mess with others, it's hard to guarantee that those people won't mess with us." Having some people can protect us, and maybe even come in handy at critical moments. ”

Shen Chen's eyes sank when he thought of something.

He's going to do that in four years' time, and those people will definitely be eyeing him when the time comes.

If he cultivates manpower now, Lin Xi and the four children will be protected by then, then he can rest assured that he will leave.

Shen Chen bowed: "I'll do this when I go back." ”

Lin Xi said: "There is still a lot of money left in the family, you can rest assured that you can choose to hire someone!" ”

Shen Chen's eyes softened, and he squeezed her hand and said he knew.

Lin Xi returned to the carriage and continued to think about her plan to open a semicolon and how to implement it.

Erbao also retracted and studied hard.

The family hurried and finally rushed back to Haixian in the second half of the year.
