The hunter's husband is so sweet

Chapter 180 Preparing for Winter

Lin Chen and his team had been busy at Jinxiu Pavilion for the whole morning and were exhausted. Shopkeeper Wu took them to the Yingke Building for dinner. They were all hungry, and it was rare that they didn't talk during the meal. After dinner, Lin Chen was worried and went back to check. Qi Xuan and Fu Jingyi were going to buy food, and Qi Yue also went back to Jinxiu Pavilion with Lin Chen. There were too many people in the morning, and he didn't pick out the jewelry he liked.

Qi Xuan and Fu Jingyi were strolling around the town. Winter was approaching, and more people were buying food. They waited in line for a while before they could buy it. Qi Xuan was afraid that it would be harder to buy later, so he ordered some from the store and asked him to deliver it to Qijia Village tomorrow, and also to Aunt Wang and the old man who helped Fu Jingyi last time.

The shopkeeper accepted the money and agreed cheerfully, promising to deliver it on time tomorrow. After that, Qi Xuan and Fu Jingyi went back to Jinxiu Pavilion to pick up Lin Chen. However, they saw that Lin Chen was surrounded by a group of ladies, who forced him to embroider handkerchiefs for them. Lin Chen blushed and tried to get away, but he couldn't. After seeing Qi Xuan, he seemed to see a savior, "Brother!"

The ladies turned their heads to look at Qi Xuan, and Lin Chen also took this opportunity to run out. These ladies were all friends of Mrs. Wu, and they just wanted to tease Lin Chen. In this dynasty, there were no regulations for women and men to do business, but those men thought that women and men should do housework at home and give birth to children for them. How could they go out to do business?

So when they learned that the new shopkeeper of Jinxiu Pavilion was a young man, they were amazed and decided to go and see him.

Lin Chen, who finally escaped, quickly returned to the back hall and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Manager Li saw this and smiled and handed him a handkerchief, "Boss, wipe your sweat."

Then he held up the account book and said, "From this morning's income, we can see that we are making a lot of profit." Lin Chen nodded, "We have just opened, everyone is still interested, let's see in three days."

Manager Li patted his chest and assured, "Boss, leave it to me. If you are busy recently, you don't have to come every day. If there is anything, I will go to Qijia Village to find you, and I will also visit the master by the way."

"What's the matter?" Qi Xuan just came in and heard Manager Li said he wanted to see the master. "Brother, you're here. You didn't help me out just now, and you laughed at me. Humph."

Lin Chen acted like a child with him, and Qi Xuan found it funny. He pretended to be innocent and said, "How can I help you? I don't know those ladies."

After that, he looked at Manager Li and said, "Manager Li, how is today's income?" The manager smiled and said, "I just told the shopkeeper that today's profit is good. Master, you don't have to come every day. It takes time to come and go. It's cold in winter, so you should take care of your health."

Qi Xuan nodded. He was afraid of the cold and really didn't want to move in winter. Lin Chen felt a little reluctant, "Wouldn't it be too much trouble for you to leave it all to me?"

Manager Li laughed out loud, "My boss, don't be so kind to everyone. I am paid, and these people are paid. If you get paid, you have to work. If you do a good job, your salary will increase."

Lin Chen seemed to understand, but Qi Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Listen to the steward. I asked Brother Qiao. Steward Li also helped him manage big business in Yundu before. You, the little shopkeeper, should come to inspect the store and check the account books when you have nothing to do." Steward Li nodded and thought to himself, 'The master is a wise man. Young Master Lin is still too young. This vague mention of Master Qiao is also a warning to me.'

He didn't show anything on his face. When he came here, he had already decided that he would spend his retirement here. Naturally, he would work hard and not let his master and Mr. Qiao down.

As they were about to leave, Qi Xuan and his friends were about to leave. Lin Chen asked them, "Where are Brother Zheng and his friends? Xiao Yue said she went to the escort agency to look for them and left just now." As they were talking, Qi Zheng and his friends came. Zhang Hui was shocked to see that Qi Xuan and his friends had bought a truckload of food, "Oh my God, how much did you buy?"

Qi Xuan blinked, "A lot? I've ordered some more from the store to be delivered to my home tomorrow." Zhang Hui took a breath, and Fu Jingyi said leisurely, "Then don't go there for free meals in the future, and we don't need to buy so much."

Zhang Hui coughed a few times and said, "Well, if there is not enough food, just tell me and I will deliver it. I will deliver it." Everyone laughed and then prepared to go home.

Days passed by, the weather was getting colder, and winter was coming in the blink of an eye. Fu Jingyi would take time to go up the mountain whenever he had time, and bring back some prey. Even Qi Zheng had stopped going to the escort agency recently. Basically, they would not escort anymore in winter, and recruiting new people was also suspended. Everything would be decided after they got married in the spring.

Zhang Hui and Qi Yue's new house was also built, and the old man and the old lady's house were also repaired before the weather turned cold. Qi Xuan also gave them some winter clothes and quilts. The old lady refused to accept them at first, but the village chief went there and said that he had already paid for them. Only then did the old lady accept them with tears in her eyes.

Fu Jingyi filled the granary with food. Qi Xuan looked at the full granary and felt safe. Some meat was also put in the ice cellar. Fu Jingyi had harvested a lot in the mountains these days. The lambs and deer could be stored after being slaughtered.

After Fu Jingyi told him last time, Zhang Hui really sent a lot of things and even found some beef. However, because of this, it was natural for him to come and eat whenever he had nothing to do.

Qi Xuan also cooked in different ways and taught Qi Yue at the same time. Qi Yue's cooking skills were getting better and better now. She didn't need Qi Xuan's help at all and could prepare a table full of delicious meals by herself.

Although Lin Chen had not been to Jinxiu Pavilion recently, he still embroidered a few handkerchiefs when he was free, and asked Manager Li to take them to him when he came, saying that he would sell them at Jinxiu Pavilion, but they were also for Madam Wu's sisters. Besides, Jinxiu Pavilion was still doing well after the first three days of opening. Under the management of Lin Chen and Manager Li, the business was getting better and better.

Qi Xuan has been getting lazier these days. He can't get up in the morning, and doesn't want to move after getting up. Aunt Wang even specially asked Dr. Zhang to check on him. He was in good health, so she stopped talking. Aunt Wang was a little regretful, "Seeing you like this, I thought..."

Qi Xuan was a little confused, "What do you think?" Fu Jingyi whispered something in his ear, and then Qi Xuan's face turned as red as a ripe tomato.
