Chapter 34: Lack of Manpower

Juxianzhuang, Donglai County, Qingzhou.

Lin Lin got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen to help.

In later life, she would not be able to make a simple Western-style breakfast with the most convenient utensils......

But now, I've made some progress, and I'm finally able to knead the dough......

Because it is not efficient to do other work, in order not to help, she is only responsible for this one process.

Huaxia Liquor began to serve the new menu she proposed, and also began to do marketing according to the sales strategy she gave.

Lin Lin was very pleased that the new dishes in the wine shop exploded, and they were wildly sought after by the children of big families in Huang County.

But she was also anxious because the liquor store had an increasing number of orders, and the kitchen in Juxianzhuang was completely "overwhelmed......

Even though she had already held a meeting for this and coordinated the staff, she was still in a hurry and full of loopholes.

Lin Lin didn't expect that catering would be so troublesome, seeing that the "chef" Chen Hua had been so busy in the past two days that he had no time to rest, even if he insisted on working with big dark circles under his eyes, she blamed herself very much, because now even if she wanted Chen Hua to rest, she couldn't find a solution.

Unless she stops supplying now, but what about the contract she just signed, won't she make any money at hand......

She could only arrange the recruitment of new people while insisting on waiting for Qin Li and them to return to the village.

"If Chen Wentian had reminded me a long time ago and made up for my shortcomings, it wouldn't be like this!"

Lin Lin muttered as she kneaded the dough vigorously.

But thinking of Chen Wentian, she suddenly realized a bigger problem.

Before leaving, Chen Wentian instructed Lin Lin to maintain the existing scale of the village before he returned, not to expand, and not to do new projects, especially not to attract the attention of Huaxia Liquor Store......

The reason why he went to Yizhou alone without Lin Lin was also to protect Lin Lin's safety and her identity as a traverser.

In recent days, he has not only expanded new business routes, but also made catering projects, and the most important thing is that these businesses have cooperated with Huaxia wine stores, and he went to Fan Jie again and again, and I don't know if he is suspicious......

Lin Lin suddenly felt a little uneasy, if he was exposed, he might still have some self-defense ability, but if he was exposed, he might also cause Chen Wentian's side to fail, thus threatening his life!

Thinking of Chen Wentian's explanation that he must always protect himself before leaving, as well as arranging the construction of a shelter, Lin Lin was both moved and regretted.

He only cared about rampage for his ideals, and it turned out that Chen Wentian had always been behind his back to fill in his gaps and take care of her safety......

"Sister Lin, Sister Lin? This piece of dough...... No more rubbing......"

Chen Hua, who came to get the dough, watched Lin Lin repeatedly knead a piece of dough that had formed gluten, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted, can I finish serving the wine today?"

Lin Lin came back to her senses and handed the dough to Chen Hua with some embarrassment, and then asked.

"I should be able to complete the ...... today if I speed it up"

Chen Hua frowned when he heard this, gritted his teeth and said.

"I'll go get you two more helpers."

When Lin Lin saw Chen Hua's micro-expression, she knew that the task was very arduous, and she couldn't help a lot here, so it was better to find some helpers.

In fact, several girls in the village who were still in class learned that there was a shortage of people in the kitchen, and they were all looking for Lin Lin to apply for help, but Lin Lin didn't want to affect their studies, so they didn't agree.

Especially one of the older girls named Ding Shu, she is about to complete all the elementary academic courses set by Lin Lin, Lin Lin originally wanted to arrange a coming-of-age ceremony and graduation ceremony for her, and then let her start to take charge of a certain job and become a role model among girls.

But now that the catering project is extremely short of people, Lin Lin can only disrupt the plan and call them for emergency first......

As for Ning Sheng, Lin Lin said that he should be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Lin found him directly a few days ago, and euphemistically said that he and Chen Wentian were not his cousins, and the two called each other brother and sister just to better cover up their identities.

She also told Ning Sheng that the reason why Chen Wentian crossed over was also to find himself, and they had known each other before crossing in the later life.

After Lin Lin finished speaking, he carefully observed Ning Sheng's reaction, saw that he had a very understanding expression, and said that he didn't think he was worthy of such a capable and beautiful Lin Lin, but he was happy when he saw her happy, and he didn't expect anything in return, so Lin Lin let go of his uneasy heart a little.

It seems that this straight man's endurance is okay?

Thinking that maybe she could try to get back to normal with him in the future, Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief

Regarding the things that Fang had just thought of that he might expose, Lin Lin was going to wait until he was done to discuss with Ning Sheng, after all, he could only talk to him about the crossing......

Lin Lin just walked out of the kitchen a few steps, when he heard the sound of horses neighing outside the village, and then walked out of the village door to take a look, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed!

The Juxian caravan is back......

Qin Li was still settling the convoy and asked everyone to move all the grain in the cart into the granary, and Lin You couldn't wait to report to Lin Lin when he saw it.

"Where did you go? Why did it take so long to return to the village!? ”

Lin Lin was originally very happy, but seeing that Lin had some flattering and inviting expressions, he was angry for a while and reprimanded angrily.

"Sister Lin, don't worry, my brother has brought you a big gift."

Seeing Lin Lin's changing face, Lin You knew that this was due to his worries, so he smiled bitterly and immediately changed the topic and talked about their gains this time.

In addition to returning the cost of more than 200,000 yuan invested in the village, Qin Li and Lin You also brought back more than 160,000 yuan of extra money, plus 1,000 stone of grain!

Because the price of grain in Dongmu is cheap, only more than 80 yuan a stone, so Lin You and others decided to carry all the grain on the return trip of the caravan, you must know that the price of grain in Huangxian County is close to 130 yuan.

In this way, the net profit of the caravan's trip to Dongmu exceeded 250,000 yuan!

This is in addition to the various dotting fees along the way, such as road guides and checkpoints, as well as filial piety to thieves, and a 10% profit share of Huaxia Liquor Shop......

"Sister Lin, my brother thinks that I can start to expand the caravan, this time, I have mastered the essentials of the business, and if I am fully prepared in time, I can lead a caravan to and from Dongmu in Huangxian County."

Lin You said his thoughts excitedly.

"The caravan is only afraid of ......, forget it, this matter will be discussed in the evening, you go and rest first."

Lin Lin couldn't bear to hit him when he saw his complacent appearance, so he said that he would have a meeting later to decide.

Then Lin Lin walked to the side to inspect the horses, and Ji Lan comforted:

"Uncle Ji has worked hard this time, I heard that with Uncle Ji's protection along the way, the people in the caravan are safe and sound."

"The first credit this time belongs to Lin You and Chief Qin, and I didn't do anything."

Ji Lan was relieved to see that Lin Lin was safe and sound, he had always told the truth, and he also praised Lin You's contributions all the way.

arranged for everyone in the caravan to go to rest after they were busy, and Lin Lin did not forget the promise of a celebration banquet, but as soon as the words came out, he remembered that there was a big stall in the kitchen and there were not enough people......
