The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

In addition, the store has seen an increase in the number of each category of merchandise after the realignment.

Due to the extremely hot sales in the store, employees have left work early for several consecutive days.

After careful consideration, Lin Zhi decided to increase the supply of products.

After everything was arranged and the instructions were given, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It is now the third month of business, but her income has not seen any significant increase.

She had originally hoped to make more profit this month, but who would have thought that the initial investment in novel publishing alone would be so huge.

As a result, overall returns are likely to remain negative.

"Mom, isn't it too risky to add so much inventory at once?" After everyone left, Daya came to Lin Zhi and asked worriedly.

She was a little worried. After all, several shops near them had recently started to get involved in the food business, and Daya was afraid that the customers would be diverted away.

You know, the Lin family shop has always been very prosperous. Many customers don't even mind the long journey and specially rush to this remote place to taste the delicious food here.

Because of this, the customer flow to the shops next to them suddenly increased. Seeing this, the nearby shops were naturally envious, so they followed suit and started selling food.

However, these stores are somewhat self-aware and know that their food cannot compare to Lin Zhi's, so they deliberately avoid Lin Zhi's existing products to avoid homogeneous competition.

"Don't worry, it's okay. If we really can't sell it, let our employees eat it up among themselves." Lin Zhi answered with a relaxed look.

In fact, the reason why she didn't dare to increase the inventory rashly before was because there were not enough staff in the store. If they couldn't be sold, they would be wasted.

But now it’s different. With the expansion of business, the number of staff in the store has gradually increased, and even if there are surplus goods, they can be digested internally.

When Daya heard her mother say this, her worries disappeared.

After lunch, Lin Zhi cleaned up the house so that the group of old scholars could work without distraction.

She carefully prepared a form - a registration form for receiving materials. For the task of copying the storybook excerpts, Lin Zhi offered a wage of ten coins per volume, and she would provide writing brushes, inkstones, paper and three meals a day.

Of course, if any of them need accommodation, this can be arranged.

After all, pens, ink, paper and inkstones are scarce resources here. In order to prevent waste, Lin Zhi specially drew up this form to impose restrictions.

After everything was ready, Lin Zhi devoted herself again to writing her unfinished novel.

She is currently writing the third volume and time is tight, so she must speed up the process.

Two days later, the five scholars arrived as promised.

Looking at the spacious and bright house, the brand new furniture and a whole bookshelf full of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, the five old scholars immediately felt at ease and decided to stay and work.

Who could have imagined that when they walked in from a small restaurant, the indescribable feeling...

They even suspected at one point whether Lin Zhi was deceiving them.

After all the people arrived, Lin Zhi signed a confidentiality agreement with them and then began to distribute the manuscripts.

As soon as Wang Changshan got the manuscript, he didn't even care whether Lin Zhi was present, and started reading it impatiently.

The other four didn't understand why he was in such a hurry.

After all, they still need to maintain proper courtesy in front of their new boss Lin Zhi.

So they exchanged greetings with Lin Zhi first, and then opened the manuscript given by Lin Zhi.

However, once opened, it is out of control.

Near noon, when Lin Zhi brought them food, she walked into the room and was surprised to find that none of the five people had written anything.

"If you guys keep slacking off, forget about getting free lunch and dinner."

As Lin Zhi spoke, he put the food in his hand on the table and then tapped the table with his hands.

An entire morning had passed, and these people showed no sign of starting work.

And she? Not only does she have to prepare free lunch for them, she might even have to prepare dinner for them. What a loss!

After hearing the noise, the five people suddenly woke up and found that someone had walked into the room. Everyone was frightened.

When they saw clearly that the person coming was Lin Zhi, they all touched their noses at the same time, looking a little guilty.

Cough!

In fact, it was mainly because the content of the book was so attractive that they were so fascinated by it that they completely forgot about the main business.

"This is all my fault. I was not determined enough and was deeply attracted by the story in the book."

One of the old men reacted quickly and immediately stood up and apologized to Lin Zhi.

"To make up for the mistake I made, I won't charge you for the copying today."

Since one person took the lead, the other four naturally could not remain silent, so they all said that they did not want today's wages.

Lin Zhi was just saying it casually, how could he really not pay them?

"You don't have to waive your wages. Just write it down for me after dinner. I'm still waiting for more inventory to sell."

After hearing what Lin Zhi said, the five people felt guilty about their actions just now, and secretly made up their minds that they must speed up the copying of the manuscript in the afternoon.

Lin Zhi put down the food in her hand and went out. After all, she still had a lot of things to deal with and didn't have any extra time to continue to bother with them.

After Lin Zhi left the room, the five people felt even more guilty when they saw what lunch Lin Zhi had brought.

When it was time for lunch, these old scholars even finished reading the rest of the plot while eating in order to squeeze out more time to copy the manuscript.

They originally thought that they could concentrate on their work after watching the movie, but they never expected that after watching it, they became more and more concerned about the description of the plot later.

Unfortunately……

Lin Zhi only gave them the manuscript of the first volume, and no matter how much they cared about it, it was of no use.

"Okay, okay, let's get started!" someone shouted.

Knowing that they would not be able to see what was coming next, the elders had to focus their attention and begin to concentrate on their work.

All of them have studied for many years, and although they have not achieved success, their academic foundation is extremely solid.

Especially in recent years, in order to supplement their family income, they often take on jobs such as copying books. Over time, their writing speed has become extraordinary.

When they really get serious, they are like human printing presses, completing a large amount of writing tasks in the blink of an eye.

When Lin Zhi brought dinner, he saw that their desk was already piled high with layers of papers waiting to dry.
