The second floor of Hibiscus Pavilion.

Jiang Huai looked absentmindedly at the new rouge and powder brought by the servant. He vaguely thought that the woman just now was Su Minyue who had chased him, but after careful identification, he found that their eyebrows were just a little similar, but their expressions and movements were very different.

"What are you thinking, Brother Huai? Look at the color of this lip balm, it's pretty good."

Fu Qi saw that the person was still absent-minded and thought it was because of what happened just now, but he also saw that the woman did not do it on purpose, so it was not easy to ask someone to arrest her.

After calling the shopkeeper Fu to come over and ask, they learned that the woman was actually the one who sold the soft and fragrant bread, and was also the middleman for the soap that was popular in the Guifu circle.

Thinking back to that day, I only saw her back from a distance outside the window, and I didn't expect that she would be so beautiful.

...

Lin Jiaojiao followed them to the shop for rent. Unexpectedly, it was about 30 square meters. It felt a bit too big. She thought about 10 square meters would be enough.

Except for some cabinets and tables, everything else inside had been cleared out. Sister Zhang took the key and opened the back door. Inside was a small courtyard and a house, and there was even a well, which made her very excited.

"Ms. Zhang, how much is it?"

"Since you are Liu Meizi's friend, I won't raise the price too high. The monthly rent is three taels of silver, and these cabinets and tables are considered free for you."

? ?

Only three taels of silver? She thought it would be more than ten taels, which set a new record for the price of goods in this world.

"rent!"

The three of them went to the yamen together, drafted a contract and stamped it with their fingerprints. The official in the yamen who was in charge of house leasing stamped it when he saw that there was no problem with the contract. Lin Jiaojiao took her copy of the contract, folded it and put it in her arms, then took out nine taels of silver from her purse and handed it to Sister Zhang. She would rent it for three months first.

The main reason is that I have no money. With the five taels of silver I earned today and the more than four taels of silver I had left over from before, it is just enough to rent it for three months.

Sister Zhang left immediately after getting the silver.

Seeing that everything was done and it was time for dinner, Liu Ying prepared to invite Lin Jiaojiao to her home.

"Congratulations, Boss Lin. Don't forget me, Sister Liu, when you become rich. It's getting late. Why don't you come to my house for dinner? My daughter will definitely like you."

"Sister Liu helped me so much, I should treat you, or should we go to Leshanlou?"

She had passed by Leshanlou before, and it looked like a barely mid-range restaurant. She still had a few hundred coins left in her pocket, so it should be enough for two people to dine there, right?

Liu Ying directly bumped her shoulder with hers and said jokingly, "If you really want to treat me, just give me some more bread."

Let’s be frank. She couldn’t stop thinking about it after eating it last time. But there were many people at home who wanted to eat it, so she had to watch it helplessly.

"Hahaha, ok no problem."

After parting with Liu Ying, Lin Jiaojiao bought two bowls of chicken noodle soup and went straight to the ox cart. When she saw Lin Dadan, she told her the good news.

"Auntie Lin, let's not practice the carriage today. Let's go to the store after we finish eating noodles."

"okay."

After eating the noodles, Lin Dadan drove the ox cart towards Nanxi Road. When he arrived at the store, Lin Jiaojiao got out of the car, took out the key given by the landlord and unlocked the door.

When the nearby shops saw that it was someone else who opened the door, they knew that the shop was rented by this person. They were a little curious about what business this person was going to do and hoped that he would not open a shop like theirs and steal their business.

Lin Jiaojiao pushed the door open and called Lin Dadan to help her move all the cabinets and tables in the house onto the ox cart. She was going to take them back and put them in the bakery, so she didn't need to go out to buy more.

As for the decoration of the store, I can only wait until I have enough money after selling the bread tomorrow.

During the trip, shop owners from neighboring stores came over to get close to her and inquire about the news. She told them the truth and even invited them to come and support her when their businesses opened.

He loaded the things onto the ox cart, tied them tightly with hemp ropes, locked the shop door, and rode the ox cart home.

Just when they were leaving Chongkan Town, they came towards an ox cart. The driver was Lin Chun's master, and it seemed that the house had been repaired.

After a brief greeting, the driver said that the extra money had been given to Lin's father. After saying goodbye, he continued driving home.

When she got home, she first went to take a look at the newly built house. It was spacious and bright, with four holes on the wall, which were specially left for the chimneys. She also exchanged four tin-plated flexible chimneys from the mall.

Lin Chun was already building the last platform. Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Dadan moved the counters and tables from the ox cart to the middle of the yard. Lin's father and Lin Yiyan took towels and began to wipe the counters and tables. Lin Dadan went back to put the ox cart away, while Lin Jiaojiao went to stir the mud.

Lin Dadan parked the ox cart and came back to join the team mixing the mud. Zhou Xiaofeng had just picked a large basket of raspberries. Now there was more bread, so basically all the raspberries picked could be used up in one go.

Lin Yizhi took it, poured it into a basin of clean water, soaked and washed it, and prepared to make jam.

After Lin Chun built the last platform, he also joined the team mixing the mud. With one more person, things would be faster. After mixing, Lin Jiaojiao took the kiln rack that Lin's father had prepared in advance and placed it on the mud cakes that had been piled on the platform.

The other two followed her step by step. When it was time to cap the roof, she went back to her room and got the smoke exhaust pipe she had exchanged in advance. People passing by the yard were curious about what it was, but they all chose to keep quiet and didn't ask any more questions.

After inserting the chimney into the top of the bread kiln, seal the perimeter with mud, then stuff the bent end into the hole in the wall and fill the excess gap with mud.

The chimney of the earliest bread kiln was relatively small, so the smoke exhaust pipe was simply put on the outside and sealed with mud.

Lin Jiaojiao looked at the four bread ovens in the house and felt a sense of accomplishment. They went to the kitchen to move all the wood under the table. The new bread oven had already started to burn fire.

The cabinets and tables outside were also wiped clean and moved into the bakery. Then I went to the kitchen and moved all the ingredients for making bread into the cabinets in this room.

Everyone stood in the bakery filled with things, feeling very happy and full of longing for a better life. They could feel that the days ahead would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Lin Jiaojiao was very excited while everyone was here.

"I have some good news for you all!"

Everyone else looked at her nervously and excitedly, but she didn't keep them in suspense and continued talking.

"Today I have rented a shop in the city. We have our own shop now!"

Then he took out the rental contract from his pocket, handed it to Lin's father and the others, and asked Lin's father to keep it safe.

Father Lin cried with joy, and said, "Wife, our family now has our own shop, and everything in life is heading in a good direction. You can finally rest assured."

"Is anyone home?"

Hearing the familiar voice outside the house, Lin Jiaojiao was stunned. What is this guy doing here?
