The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

If you want to get ideal results in the college, it is far from enough to rely solely on the teacher's guidance. More often than not, you still need to work harder on your own.

The two brothers were eager to take the imperial examination as soon as possible, so they could only study harder in their spare time.

Another day passed.

Today is of special significance to Madam Zhou, because this is the day she officially joins the Lin family shop.

When Lin Zhi announced that she had become a formal employee, Mrs. Zhou was so excited that she burst into tears on the spot.

When everyone saw her strong reaction, they did not laugh at her at all. Instead, they congratulated her.

Except for Zhao Mu and Zhao Tu, everyone else could understand and empathize with her feelings at the moment. After all, they had also gone through this step by step.

After Lin Zhi read out the good news, he encouraged two other new employees:

"Zhao Tu and Zhao Mu, you also have to work hard and try to stay here smoothly."

Zhao Tu and Zhao Mu looked at each other, and their eyes revealed the determination to win.

After lunch, Lin Zhi asked several people in the store to look after the shop, and then went out.

She went out this time to prepare for the publication of her novel.

Uncle Zhong, the sun is still very hot. The hot temperature makes people feel uncomfortable, as if they are in a furnace.

Lin Zhi didn't want to walk too far in such hot weather, so she decided to go to the study in front of the carpenter's shop.

This is a small shop that specializes in selling the four treasures of the study.

Different from the bookstores I visited before, this one is smaller in scale and it focuses on selling study items instead of books.

Since there is no book sales business, the store has relatively little customer traffic.

Almost all the customers in the store are students from nearby colleges. After all, the store is located close to the college, and the convenient geographical location has become one of the key factors for its survival.

When passing by the carpenter's shop, Lin Zhi happened to see the carpenter preparing to go out.

She greeted him with a smile and pointed to the neatly arranged furniture and asked, "Are these for delivery?"

"Oh, it's Shopkeeper Lin!" The carpenter responded with a delighted smile, "I was just about to come find you. These are all the furniture you ordered. If you have to go out for work now, do you want me to deliver them to you later?"

Lin Zhi has been so busy lately that he almost forgot that he had customized a batch of furniture.

"No need to wait until later, you can deliver it now and let Daya pay you the balance." Lin Zhi decisively rejected the carpenter's suggestion.

After all, they have already moved the furniture out. If we delay sending it over, wouldn’t we be delaying other people’s business?

Moreover, the store is currently on break, so it would be most appropriate to send it over now.

"Okay, I'll help you deliver it now." The carpenter didn't say anything else after hearing this.

Lin Zhi briefly explained the placement of the furniture and said goodbye to the carpenter.

After walking forward a dozen steps, she arrived at the door of the study.

"Hey! Manager Lin, what a rare guest you are!" As soon as the manager of the study saw Lin Zhi, he immediately greeted him warmly.

"Manager Zhang, good afternoon. Have you had your meal?" Lin Zhi also responded politely.

Since they are neighbors, the two are familiar with each other.

"I have eaten it. I ate it in your shop!"

That’s right, Shopkeeper Zhang is a loyal customer of the Lin family shop, but since Lin Zhi seldom shows up in the shop, they don’t have many opportunities to meet.

He poured a cup of tea for Lin Zhi, wondering in his heart why Lin Zhi came here.

You know, all the shops on this street are looking forward to Lin Zhi's visit to their shops, because as long as they get Lin Zhi's favor, it means they will have a stable income every month.

Shopkeeper Zhang used to envy those lucky ones, but he knew very well that his small shop selling study tools had nothing to do with the catering business run by Lin Zhi, and it was a pipe dream to want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with her.

Lin Zhi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then stated his purpose directly:

"Manager Zhang, I'm here today to discuss a business with you."

Shopkeeper Zhang wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Could it be that the extravagant wish that just occurred to me is actually going to become a reality?

This shopkeeper Lin actually came to discuss business on his own initiative!

"Oh my! Could it be that this tremendous wealth has finally come to me?" Shopkeeper Zhang shouted excitedly and exaggeratedly.

Lin Zhi almost laughed out loud at his appearance.

......

When Manager Zhang sent Lin Zhi out, the corners of his mouth that were raised never came down.

After Lin Zhi walked away, he stood at the door like a sculpture, motionless, but the upward angle of his mouth seemed to be frozen there forever.

At this moment, Zhang's wife came in from outside. She saw her husband's strange expression at a glance and couldn't help muttering:

"You idiot, what are you standing at the door grinning for?"

Hearing his wife's voice, Shopkeeper Zhang came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream.

He seized his wife's hand in excitement and shouted incoherently:

"My lady, we are going to be rich! We are going to be rich!"

Then, regardless of the presence of other people around him, he hugged his wife tightly in his arms and started spinning around excitedly like a child.

The sudden action frightened Shopkeeper Zhang's wife.

Her face flushed red and she struggled desperately to break free from her husband's arms.

After all, if Meng Lang's behavior was seen by outsiders, she would never be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River!

Fortunately, their shop was located at the very edge of the street, and there were not many pedestrians passing by at this time, otherwise she really didn't know how to deal with other people's pointing and talking!

It was only after Manager Zhang finally stopped his crazy behavior that his wife finally caught her breath and asked him what had happened.

Shopkeeper Zhang could not hide his excitement and told his wife the whole story.

After hearing this, his seemingly weak wife seemed to have changed into a different person, picking up Zhang and spinning around...

Spinning in circles...

Circle...

lock up......

......

After solving the supply of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, Lin Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The price that Manager Zhang gave her was very affordable, nearly half the price of what she paid at the bookstore.

Of course, this has something to do with her buying in large quantities and for a long time. Isn't it normal for prices to be favorable when the quantity is large?

After leaving the study, Lin Zhi went back to the store to check the new furniture.

When the furniture was ordered, she discussed it with the carpenter in the shop, and he should still remember it. So when the furniture arrived, it was placed in exactly the same position as she had specified when it was ordered.
