Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 96

In a blink of an eye, it was September, and the sky was slowly turning cold.In the mountains at this time, it was already a bit chilly early in the morning, but the birds on the mountains were very crisp and pleasant to hear.Without the hustle and bustle and heat in summer, it is a little more agile.

Ever since he started working in teahouses and workshops, Zhang Mantun has been trained by his wife to be more active and his horizons have been broadened a lot.Some business, the daughter-in-law is not willing to run, it is he who discusses it.

Lin Baozhu is not worried that her man can't talk well, it's good to try more left and right, if a big man loves her to accommodate her, after a long time, he will inevitably feel dissatisfied.Besides, if she had to tightly control every way of earning money at home, she would be exhausted to death.

So after teaching her man some negotiating skills and the way of tea, she felt relieved and drove people to the nearby towns to find sales.After coming and going, Zhang Mandun can really be alone.

And Shi Dayong and Zhang Xiuniang are still in charge of the snack workshop. Whenever there are new tricks, Shi Dayong will go to some nearby restaurants to sell them.Although he doesn't have that much flirtatiousness, but he has been on the job for many years, always running in this area, and he still has connections.In addition, Lin Baozhu not only set the price, but also left room for him to make concessions and favors, so after going to sell food a few times, he learned about the same.

During the period, he thought that the two workshops would develop in two lines, so Zhang Ji bought another mule cart.Usually when buying goods, when Zhang Mandun or Shi Dayong are talking about business, they will not waste their energy by copying small roads all the way.Moreover, the delivery is also much more convenient. If there is any difficulty in the village and wants to borrow it, Lin Baozhu is not stingy.

As the business improved, Lin Baozhu hired more and more people, and with Aunt Tian Ma and Sister-in-law Xiuniang taking care of things, she would just help each other occasionally and keep accounts.

In October, Zhang Ji began to pick and make winter tea.Because during the slack season, the manpower of every household is also free, so compared to the first time, more people came to Xunlin Baozhu to ask if they needed tea-picking staff.

Although the teahouse is still in operation, the tea produced is still unsalable.Fortunately, when building a new house, Lin Baozhu specially drew a blueprint of the tea storage room and asked the master mason to help clean it out.So there is no need to worry that there is no place to collect the finished tea.

As for the snack workshop, the business is still booming.Since making bean curd sticks and spicy noodles, Lin Baozhu has made many other snacks.Not to mention that the later sausages looked similar to hair cakes, but in fact they were softer, fluffier and more delicious, that is, the crystal clear, fragrant and smooth water steamed buns, which have become a lot of cakes nowadays. The fresh dim sum that people are looking for.

Needless to say, making steamed buns, a food business, was actually an accidental move.Speaking of water steamed buns, people in this era may think they are rare and novel, but they are actually a Japanese-style cool pastry.To put it more clearly, it is sweeter and more mellow than sticky bean buns, and the appearance is more beautiful and bright.

But if you say it's really that delicious, it's not that bad, it's just that the big guys have never seen this kind of food that looks like crystals.Looking at the exquisite and translucent ones, they look pretty tight.

It is also because of this that there is really a wave of steamed buns in the small town.Of course, here Lin Baozhu gave it a more elegant name, Linglong Cake.It sounds romantic and looks chic, so not only Xinglong Tavern started ordering, but even many restaurants and ladies from rich and noble families would buy some for gatherings.

But Zhang Ji didn't open a shop to sell goods, so there were few people who came here to buy here and there. However, after a few landlords and nearby gentry and officials came here to buy, Lin Baozhu had the idea of ​​opening a shop in the town.

Of course, now it's just an idea.We have to wait for Zhang Mandun and Shi Dayong to come back from discussing business.

Because the businesses on both sides are still profitable, and although the snack workshop has small profits but quick turnover, although it can't get hundreds of taels and tens of taels in the account like the tea house, it can make a lot of money.So the Zhang family paid off the remaining debts early on, and now they can be said to be the wealthiest family in Taoshuwan.

At the beginning, Lin Baozhu wanted to keep a low profile and keep a low profile, for fear that people would be jealous and cause trouble.But Zhang Mandun didn't care about it. He has that kind of temperament. As long as he is provoked, he will not be embarrassed to tear his face because of scruples.

After a while, Lin Baozhu also changed her mind. It is upright to earn money by herself, so why worry about others' harsh words?

But in fact, she was thinking too much. Now many families in Taoshuwan are working in Zhang Ji, and Zhang Lizheng has gained a lot of benefits, and he is respected by others because of the workshop in the village.Even Li Zheng, who was acquainted with him from all over the world, started to call Brother Zhang eagerly when he saw him.Even Li Zheng from Shilipu acted as if the incident with Zhang Erbao had never happened before, and he was very eager to meet him.

So, let alone someone finding fault with Zhang Mandun, that fierce man, even Zhang Lizheng is not allowed.

Fortunately, Taoshuwan Village is mostly people with the surname Zhang, so it is easy to manage, and they are still united when things happen.Otherwise, it's really hard to say whether there will be a super trouble.

Because both Zhang Mantun and Shi Dayong were out, these days Lin Baozhu would call Zhang Xiuniang and Zhaodi early when eating.A few people make meals together, and sometimes stay here overnight, chatting for a while while eating and drinking, and don't feel that there are fewer people in the house, and the life is quite relaxed.

But the first day and the second day were alright, and on the third day, when the man of his family did not come back, Lin Baozhu was worried about it.Not to mention being depressed, but because of thinking about that guy, I often lose my mind and lose my energy.

Regarding this, Zhang Xiuniang made fun of it several times.

During this period, Lin Baozhu thought about teaching Zhang Xiuniang how to make steamed buns, so that she could learn more, so that if she stopped working together in the future, she would be able to make a living.She didn't think about driving her away, but the world is unpredictable, maybe someday the two families will be separated because of something?
Although grateful for Lin Baozhu's kindness, Zhang Xiuniang repeatedly rejected her kindness.After all, the recipe of water steamed buns is rare, no matter how skillful women are nowadays, they can't imitate them.

Being rejected, Lin Baozhu was not discouraged, thinking of Xiuniang's sister-in-law's help and agility, and remembering that Shi Dayong had never complained when he went out to work, so he wanted to wait for his man to come back and discuss it, see if he could give it to him. The Shi family gets a share of the bonus.

Of course, this is something for later.

Because the work in the workshop is on the right track, even Zhang Xiuniang can take a break for a while, so every time she gets off work, she will take a sewing reel to chat with Lin Baozhu.In addition to Zhaodi, a few people had dinner, cleaned up the inside and outside, and then got together to talk for a while.

Until another three or four days passed, Zhang Xiuniang went back with Zhaodi who was sleepy and dozed off. Lin Baozhu looked at the dark sky and wanted to rest.There was a sound of slapping on the gate outside, she quickly put on her clothes and went out of the house. As soon as she got to the yard, she saw the big wolf scratching the ground with its teeth bared.At that moment, my heart tightened, and I touched a sickle and clenched it tightly.

"Who?"

There was a burst of sobbing outside, and then I remembered Zhang Xiuniang's voice: "Sister Baozhu, hurry up and save Zhaodi."

The miserable shouts and cries made Lin Baozhu's heart skip a beat, and she threw down the scythe and hurried to open the door, without bothering to ask further questions.As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhang Xiuniang, who was in a panic, dragging her in panic, and kept asking her to rescue Zhaodi.

After seeing it clearly, Lin Baozhu took a deep breath. How could someone not be human for such a heavy hand? Seeing the blood marks on the back of Zhang Xiuniang's neck, someone always smashed the back of her head.

Lin Baozhu was terrified in his heart, but he didn't dare to waste time, he didn't even have time to let her into the room, he directly supported her and frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, tell me clearly, what's the matter."

When Zhang Xiuniang saw Lin Baozhu as if she saw the backbone, she endured the pain in her head and said: "At that time, I took Zhaodi back to the workshop, and at Sanchakou, someone threw a big stone and knocked her unconscious. That's when I found out that Zhao Di was gone."

At Sanchakou, Lin Baozhu knew that there was a big locust tree that neither of them could hug.

"Sister-in-law, can you see people clearly? Or can you hear them talking?"

Seeing Zhang Xiuniang shaking her head with disheveled hair, holding back tears, Lin Baozhu frowned, thought for a while and asked, "How long have you been unconscious?"

"For a while, but it wasn't too long. When I woke up, I seemed to hear someone talking."

Zhang Xiuniang also knew that now was not the time to cry, and she didn't dare to show cowardice to interrupt Lin Baozhu's train of thought, so she could only endure the pain and fear and try her best to recall.

After asking about the general situation, Lin Baozhu hurriedly called the big wolf to come over, and then, ignoring many people, went to pat the doors of Master Liu and Master Dong who lived in the workshop behind, asking them to help them chase people.

She didn't think it was done by the villagers, since Zhaodi was a sensible child, she usually only had more contact with Xing'er, so she wasn't annoying.Secondly, Zhaodi is from outside, so it can't be said that she has any enmity with the villagers.

Thinking about the visit of the old couple from the Shi family, she had a bad premonition in her heart. Could it be that the old couple from the Shi family still didn't give up and used such dirty tricks?
With this idea in her heart, how dare she waste time to appease Zhang Xiuniang, she ran directly into the house to find the copper hot pot that Zhang Mandun had specially ordered to be beaten before, and then found a piece of wood while beating it and called for help.

Most of the people in the village have fallen asleep at the moment, but when they heard someone shouting that there are villains, not to mention which family was in trouble, everyone put on their clothes, kicked on their shoes and ran out.Before going out, everyone did not forget to grab a handy guy, or a pole or a shovel, anyway, the villains should not be allowed to do their best in Taoshuwan Village.

People with dogs at home also dragged their dogs out, and a group of people, regardless of whether they were close or distant, or those who didn't speak to each other, all got together at the moment.

It was at this time that Lin Baozhu really realized what it meant to say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
