Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Zhenxiu Pavilion was opened in such a hurry, for fear of attracting the jealousy of some nobleman, Tinghe also gave gifts to the headmaster and the county magistrate, hoping that they would protect Zhenxiu Pavilion more. She even gave them the braised meat and delicacies in the store. Who knew that the county magistrate and the headmaster were so considerate that they came to the store in person, greeted Mrs. Lin, and sat at a table in the lobby, being seen by everyone.

Perhaps it was because of this kind of relationship that those who were jealous of the business suppressed their inner thoughts. For a shop that even the headmaster and the county magistrate supported, no one would dare to covet it. They could only continue to watch with envy as the Treasure Pavilion was packed with customers every day.

Uncle Lin and Lin Gensheng also walked in with disbelief after school. They looked at their mother chatting happily with the headmaster, and then looked at their lively and lovely niece who was being flattered by the frightened county magistrate. Both of them felt disbelief at the same time.

When the headmaster saw the two of them coming, he very politely invited them to have dinner with him. After being rejected, he did not get angry but instead praised the two of them for their academic achievements to Old Lady Lin.

After He and the county magistrate exchanged greetings, he pulled Boss Lin over and asked:

"Uncle, we haven't been back to Linjia Village for a few days. Is there anything going on in the village? Is Mr. Nan better now? We haven't been back for so long, I'm afraid he might starve to death."

Boss Lin then explained, "It's okay. Your aunt, Yuegu, and Tonghua are still at home. I haven't asked her to take on any embroidery work recently. I asked her to help oversee the progress of the construction of the farm. As for Mr. Nan, I didn't see him when I went back that day. I guess he recovered from his illness and left on his own..."

Ting He couldn't hear what Boss Lin said later. He kept saying, "Just leave now." Ting He couldn't help thinking, what a heartless thing! He used my top-grade medicinal materials and spiritual spring water to make everything better, but he didn't even say goodbye before leaving. It's really the old man's usual style. The regent is nothing. If he was really that powerful, how could he be hunted down and saved by her? Pah, what a heartless thing! If he knew, he would have asked for tens of thousands more taels. I feel so bad.

Just as she was thinking hard, the shopkeeper who had been invited back called her. It turned out that the abacus suddenly broke down and she couldn't calculate the accounts for a while. The shopkeeper had no choice but to come look for her.

After hearing this, Ting He came to the front, bought a computer from the system space temporarily and said: "Everyone, please be patient. It doesn't matter if the abacus is broken. This computer is a rare item sent from a foreign country..."

Tinghe just pressed a few strange numbers, and then a strange female voice came from the small square to calculate all the silver and money. Everyone was very surprised for a moment. Tinghe did not explain too much. He urged the shopkeeper to collect the silver and money and make the change, and then let them leave in an orderly manner. The shop returned to order again.

When the shop was not busy, Ting He took out a book on Arabic numeral calculations and a modern multiplication table and handed them to the county magistrate, and whispered to him:

"This is a rare item that the Regent seized from a foreign country. It is very effective for arithmetic. I am sending it to the county magistrate. Please send someone to study it carefully and promote it. It will be regarded as a merit given to you by the Regent."

Hearing He say this, she thought in her heart that this was a way of repaying the Regent for handling the Liu family for her. Anyway, she was too lazy to pass on the mathematics, so she might as well give it to someone who had more time.

The county magistrate left the Treasure Pavilion nervously with the computer and mathematical secrets in his hand, and went back in a hurry to make arrangements.

Tinghe also taught the shopkeeper how to recognize the multiplication table and Arabic numerals in his spare time. Lin Jinshan and Lin Gensheng, who were eating in the shop, also studied them with great interest.

The shop was very busy when it opened, and Tinghe made a lot of money, especially the braised meat, which everyone loved, especially the ones with dogwood and spicy flavors. Tinghe left many seeds in the planting space, and in order to hide their origin, she planted them in the backyard vegetable garden opened up by Old Man Lin. Because the seeds had been nourished by the spiritual spring water, they grew quite fast in the outside world, and after just a few days, they had already shown signs of germination.

When I went to the seed shop and the medicinal material shop to purchase goods again, I accidentally discovered the pungent Sichuan pepper and the warm-natured foreign cherry tomatoes. Tinghe happily bought all the seeds, and also opened up a new direction for exploring more flavors in the future.

After Zhenxiu Pavilion was stabilized, Tinghe started to tinker with new grains and hybrid varieties, hoping to make better use of the planting space and create more favorable conditions for the people of Duan Dynasty, so that at least they could have enough food and drink.

While Ting He was busy, the regent Nan Tangqing who had returned to Duancheng was lost in thought at the calculator handed to him by his subordinates. After his subordinates kept urging him, he finally responded and smiled and arranged:

"Go, tell Magistrate Li that since he has already given the calculator to a student and passed it down, I will take it back. I will reward him with a thousand taels of silver and ask him to take good care of Zhenxiu Pavilion and the Lin family."

The subordinate took the order and went out, while Nan Tang Qing took the calculator and mathematical secrets and went directly to the palace, and handed them over to his brother, the Emperor of Duan Dynasty. The two of them whispered for a long time and made some decisions that would be passed down through the ages. Then Nan Tang Qing said goodbye. After Nan Tang Qing left, the emperor clenched his fists so hard that veins turned blue, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, which scared the palace servants who were serving him. They all knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

……

Since opening the shop, Ting He has been extremely busy. Although she has the help of the cook, the shopkeeper and even Mrs. Lin, Ting He is exhausted just by smuggling ingredients. Later, she simply put all the bought ingredients into the planting space overnight and then took them out. The ingredients that have been contaminated by the scent of spiritual spring water have become more delicious. They are just thrown into the cellar, and no rotten ingredients are left. The food is enough to solve the daily needs of the shop.

Time passed quickly, and three years had gone by in the blink of an eye. Tinghe had grown from thirteen to sixteen years old in the busy life. During these years, Uncle Lin had passed the imperial examination and gone to the provincial capital, Lin Gensheng had also passed the imperial examination and continued to study in the town, the house and the Zhenxiu Pavilion in the town were given to Lin's family, and Wang brought Yuegu to the town to take care of the crazy younger sister Tonghua.

The rest of the people gave up the farm built by Linjia Village, and some rights were given to the village chief of Linjia Village. Originally, there were not many clansmen. But once people became rich, the villagers and distant relatives became relatives, and they rushed to build good relations with the Lin family. After discussion and discussion, the Lin family built the first Lin family ancestral hall in Linjia Village, and incorporated all the uncles into the ancestral hall, and also registered all the fields with taxes under the names of Lin Jinshan and Lin Gensheng.
