"Wife, wake up."

Lin Yizhi looked at the person sleeping next to him. Last night, Lin Jiaojiao was afraid that she would oversleep again, and he didn't call her, so she hugged him and slept together, and repeatedly told him to call her.

As soon as Lin Jiaojiao closed her eyes last night, she thought about the bread business growing bigger and bigger, and she would reach the peak of her life from then on, and she couldn't sleep.

She could hear Lin Yizhi's gentle call in her ears, but she couldn't get up at all. Woo woo woo, she didn't want to reach the peak of her life.

Lin Yizhi called her a few times, but seeing that she was still not awake, he quietly kissed her on the corner of her mouth, carefully got out of bed, changed clothes and went to wash up.

When I opened the door, I found that the door to the main room was already open and there was a faint flickering light of fire outside the room.

He hurried out and found that it was Lin's father standing in front of the bread kiln adding firewood.

"Dad, why are you up? Go and rest. I'll be here soon."

"Dad went to bed early and has had enough sleep. Ahem, don't we have to make more than a hundred today? Dad will help you so that we can finish them before dawn."

Lin Yizhi wanted to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening behind him. He thought it was his wife who had woken up, but when he turned around, he saw it was his eldest brother.

He had no choice but to give up and went into the kitchen, taking two basins. He and Lin's father each had a basin of white flour, while Lin Yiyan kept some for later use to roll the flour into small balls.

Last night, Lin Jiaojiao said that she wanted to add some milk powder in it. He first took a bowl and scooped four spoonfuls of milk powder, added boiled water and stirred evenly. Immediately, a strong milky aroma came out.

He swallowed. Although Lin Jiaojiao said that everyone could mix it with water if they wanted to drink it, and she would buy more if it was not enough, he didn't want to do that. It would be a waste if he drank it himself.

She poured half of it into each of the two basins, and then beat eight eggs in each basin. These were the eggs that Lin Jiaojiao bought from several nearby families last night, two for one cent, and she also asked them to buy firewood, one cent per bundle.

After scooping the remaining ingredients into the bowl, he and Lin's father began to knead the dough.

Lin Jiaojiao suddenly woke up with a start. It was all over. How come it was almost dawn when she just closed her eyes for a while?

She quickly got out of bed, changed her clothes, opened the door, and saw the whole family sitting at the table in the main room. A batch of bread had already been baked, and they took a few to taste.

"Wife, you're awake now. Come and try this with milk powder and sesame seeds. It's delicious and has a milky flavor."

She looked so embarrassed. Why did she have to get up so early? It made her look so useless!

"As long as it tastes good, I'll go wash up first."

Lin Jiaojiao had just washed her face and was about to get a cup of hot water when Lin Yiyan handed her a cup of warm water mixed with honey.

She looked flattered and quickly reached out to take it.

"Thank you, brother. I can do it myself next time."

Lin Yiyan felt a little disappointed, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Yesterday at noon, I saw Lin Shen come to see Xiaozhi."

"what?"

Lin Jiaojiao felt nervous, as if she had done something wrong, but then she recalled that when she came back last night, Lin Yizhi did not seem to be abnormal.

Lin Yiyan saw that she looked confused.

"It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking it."

She looked at Lin Yiyan's back and was also confused. Why did Lin Shen come to see Lin Yizhi? Forget it, she would ask him later and she would know.

After drinking the honey water in one breath, I felt refreshed.

I went to sit in the main room and took a modified original bread. It smelled so good and tasted many times better than the previous one, and it was also softer.

This must be a big seller!

After eating two, she still wanted to eat more, but she held back because she wanted to save some room for the jam.

The sky turned blue, and she hurried to the well to fetch water and to the vegetable garden to fertilize the vegetables. The sweet peppers she planted at the beginning had grown to her knees, and she had also planted a lot of garlic seedlings, which were growing well.

When she reached the front of the house, Lin Dadan was already waiting at the door driving a ox cart. After greeting him, she went to the kitchen to wash her hands first, then took out four freshly baked loaves of bread that had not yet been packed in the lunch box, put them in a colander and gave it to Lin Dadan.

"Aunt Lin, this is the new improved bread, please try it. Now take the rest back and let Uncle Zhou and Feifei have a taste too."

"This, this is so embarrassing. Aunt Lin understands, but you should keep these and sell them for money."

This can be sold for a hundred coins. It would be such a waste to just eat it like this.

"Auntie Lin, have you forgotten? This is our employee benefit, just take it with confidence. If you don't take it, you are not an employee of our company."

When Lin Dadan heard her say this, he quickly took it and thanked her: "Yes, yes, thank you, boss. I will definitely work hard with you."

Lin Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did the boss even get involved?

"Auntie Lin, you can call me whatever you used to call me. Our business hasn't gotten big yet."

"You can't say that. I believe the boss can do it!"

"Okay, okay, thanks for your good words. Go home and deliver it. When you come back, the last batch of bread will be packed."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

She looked at Lin Dadan running fast, smiled and shook her head, turned around and went to the kitchen and said to them: "When I was fetching water, I met the head of the village and told her that our family wanted to buy eggs and firewood. She said she would notify you later. Dad, you stay at home to collect the things. Remember, don't accept rotten eggs, and don't accept firewood that is not up to standard. Don't think that you are embarrassed to refuse because you are a neighbor. If you don't have a tough attitude, they will think you are easy to bully."

"Dad knows, Jiao'er, don't worry."

"Jiaojiao, I will help daddy to watch over you. Don't worry about the family. Be careful when you are outside. I, we will all be worried about you."

"Yes, my wife, please don't get too tired. Your health is important."

Lin Jiaojiao was deeply touched. Lin Yiyan was slowly coming to terms with it.

After the things were loaded onto the ox cart, Lin Dadan, holding Lin Fei and Zhou Xiaofeng, walked over quickly.

"Brother Lian Ping, Sister Jiao, good morning."

Zhou Xiaofeng had just finished wiping the table at home when he saw his wife running back with a freshly baked bread in her hand. He hurriedly grabbed Lin Dadan, who had just put down the colander and was about to run back. After asking, he could not sit still any longer. He quickly took off his apron and asked her to go and hold the child together.

When he arrived, he came forward to greet her, and then continued excitedly: "Jiao Jie'er, you are so kind to our family, giving us this and that. Da Dan will definitely follow you obediently. If there is anything at home that I can help with, just ask."

Lin Jiaojiao thought that it took three people to make more than 180 loaves of bread this morning, and they were only finished at dawn, and the raspberries were also used up.

"Originally I wanted to wait until the store was open and then ask Uncle Zhou to help, but he's already busy today. He has to work for about two hours every day at five o'clock in the morning. He also has to pick a basket of pears every two days. The monthly salary is two taels of silver. Can Uncle Zhou come to help?"

"Yes! I do! I can come to work tomorrow."

Lin Jiaojiao looked at Zhou Xiaofeng who was excited, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to look at Lin Dadan.

"Aunt Lin, today I will hire you as my family's coachman. In addition to transporting goods every day, you will also have to pick up and drop off family members when they go out. I will buy a horse carriage in a while, so you must learn how to drive during this period. The monthly salary is three taels of silver."

Although she didn't know how much the salary here should be, she was sure that she had asked for a very high salary. She knew it when she saw Zhou Xiaofeng, who was even more excited than Lin Dadan.
