The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

“Finally finished writing it!”

After Lin Zhi sighed, he stretched lazily and took a deep breath.

For the past twenty days, she has been working on her novel, and now the first volume is finally completed.

Although this is only a first draft, she is already very satisfied with it.

During this period, whenever she had free time, she would sit there and write non-stop, with no time to take care of the family business.

Fortunately, the employees under her were very experienced and reliable, so nothing would go wrong even if she was not on site to supervise.

And Daya is there to help take care of the children, so she doesn't have to worry at all.

Lin Zhi walked out of the door and saw that the stalls outside were still in order. She did not disturb them, but turned and went to the shop next door.

More than half a month has passed, and no one from next door has come to inquire. It seems that no one is interested in this shop.

The door of the shop was not locked. Lin Zhi pushed it gently and the door opened.

After entering the shop, the first thing that catches your eye is a spacious lobby.

Lin Zhi had been here to shop before. She remembered that the lobby was filled with all kinds of goods, but now it is empty.

I guess Liu Decai had cleared out all the goods when he mortgaged the shop.

When you enter the shop that Lin Zhi bought from the main entrance, the first thing that catches your eye is a spacious courtyard. Across the courtyard is the house, and behind the house is another small courtyard.

Although the small yard was only used for a toilet and growing some vegetables, it was still a small yard.

However, Liu Decai's store has a completely different layout design: after entering the main entrance, people are greeted by an extra-large lobby, which is obviously specially designed to place all kinds of goods.

The living area is located on the left side of the lobby and occupies a relatively small space.

Then walk further back and you will come to a yard, but compared to the former, this one looks more like a vast open space.

Looking at the empty land in front of her, Lin Zhi's eyes instantly flashed with surprise - the pepper planting site that she had been searching for in vain finally found a suitable home!

Ever since she launched the chili sauce at her stall, many diners have raved about the unique and pungent taste after tasting it, and now she has very little stock of chili sauce left.

"Not bad!"

Lin Zhi walked around the entire shop with a satisfied smile on his face.

There is almost nothing wrong with this shop. The only drawback is the lack of a well, but this minor flaw can be completely ignored.

After all, there was a well available in the first shop she bought, and there was also a public well not far from here, so solving the daily drinking water problem was a piece of cake.

After looking around the shop with satisfaction, Lin Zhi slowly closed the door and walked out.

As she walked, she thought about how to renovate and arrange the new shop...

Thinking, she came to the carpenter's house.

"Oh! Shopkeeper Lin, what rare things are you going to make again?"

The person who received her was not the carpenter himself, but the carpenter's wife, who rarely stayed at home on weekdays.

Ever since Liu Decai's wife Zhang Xiaohua got into trouble, this gossip group hasn't been able to get together for a long time.

Without gossip to talk about, the carpenter's wife felt that life was extremely boring, so she just stayed at home.

"I want to build a door and get some furniture like tables and chairs."

Lin Zhi had thought all these things through on the way here. She felt that the shop did not need a large-scale renovation.

All you need to do is make a small hole in the wall between the two shops and install a small door so that the new shop can easily access water resources during the day, and then close the door at night to ensure the safety of your family.

In addition, the door leading to the back yard also needs to be replaced with a new door.

She planned to plant some peppers in the backyard and keep the lobby for business. With so many people coming and going, it was inevitable that some people with bad intentions would destroy her beloved pepper trees!

So these two doors must be installed.

There is also a residential area, which Lin Zhi has already planned and intends to use as employee dormitories.

She plans to recruit some employees to live in the dormitory so that they don't have to commute every day and can devote themselves to their work.

During the process of making soy products, those physically demanding tasks, such as grinding beans, can be handed over to the employees living in the dormitories.

This way, she and the three little ones can feel a lot more relaxed.

The carpenter's wife had never been involved in her family's business. When she heard what Lin Zhi said, she immediately ran to find her husband and dragged him out.

Due to the long-term cooperative relationship between the two parties, the carpenter quickly quoted a very reasonable price.

Lin Zhi was satisfied with this and expressed his gratitude to the carpenter: "Thank you for your help."

The carpenter waved his hand and responded with a smile: "We are doing business, a fair trade, why would it be troublesome?"

He felt that Lin Zhi was too polite.

Lin Zhi smiled slightly, and then added: "Speaking of trouble, there is indeed one thing I need to trouble you with."

"Manager Lin, please feel free to tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you with all my strength." The carpenter replied readily.

"Aren't I going to install two doors? One of the doors has to be installed by breaking down the wall first, so I wanted to ask you if you could help me find someone to help me break down and build the wall. I've only moved here for a short time and I'm not familiar with the place, so I really can't find anyone." Lin Zhi said helplessly.

"Why do we need to hire extra people for such a small matter? When I install the door, I will do it for you." The carpenter answered readily.

"That's great. Thank you very much!" Lin Zhi said gratefully.

After the two agreed to measure the parameters of the door tomorrow, the carpenter's wife enthusiastically sent Lin Zhi to the door. Before leaving, the carpenter's wife said with emotion:

"I didn't expect that you would take over the Liu family's shop in the end."

"You think too highly of me. It's not that easy to accept. This is just a shop I rented, and the rent is very low. You know, the matter with Manager Liu... Alas..."

Lin Zhi sighed softly, a look of regret on his face.

The carpenter's wife understood immediately.

The news that Zhang Xiaohua's bribery was exposed and he had offended the police had already spread throughout the street.
