The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

After hearing this, the four of them showed very conflicted expressions on their faces.

They were very eager to ask Lin Zhi if he could let them finish watching the rest of the work before starting.

However, although Lin Zhi had a kind smile on her face and seemed easy to talk to, her eyes were unusually firm, as if she was clearly telling them not to have any illusions.

At this moment, they even wanted to use their identities to force Lin Zhi to show it to them, but this thought only flashed through their minds and quickly disappeared.

After all, they are not the kind of people who take advantage of their power to bully others, and they would never do such immoral behavior.

Helplessly, they could only lower their heads silently and begin to copy the books attentively.

Time passed quickly and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zhi personally delivered a sumptuous lunch to all the employees who were copying books.

When the four women saw the lunch in front of them, they couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.

It’s not that the lunch was not delicious or of poor quality. On the contrary, it was extremely exquisite and delicious.

Although from the outside, the four of them seemed to be in a well-off family, but in fact, because the local leading officials uphold a clean and upright style, as the people under their rule, they also had to maintain a frugal and simple daily life.

Compared with the aristocratic girls in other counties, their conditions in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation are very different, it can be said that there is a world of difference.

The atmosphere of decadence is extremely rare in this county.

At lunch time, the table was filled with extremely rich and large portions of delicious food, but faced with such delicious food, the four of them could only take two of them to share, and leave the other two for Lin Zhi to share with others.

"If you can't finish it, you might as well take it home and share it with your family. There's no need to force yourself to eat it here." Lin Zhi advised kindly.

However, the four of them shook their heads and insisted that Lin Zhi take the food away.

They were resentful of the men in their families and would rather throw away the food than take it back, so they let them enjoy the simple meals at home with their concubines.

Li Fanghua said: "Lunch is fine, but I can take some back for dinner. Thank you for your kindness."

Her husband did not take a concubine, and the couple had a harmonious relationship and lived a smooth life. She had no complaints about her man.

After hearing this, Lin Zhi stopped trying to persuade him.

Afterwards, she gave the two extra meals to Zhou's mother and Zhou's son, who were temporarily staying there.

Although these two people are not formal employees of the store, they always come forward to help whenever they are free.

Therefore, it is only natural that they should enjoy a staff meal.

Zhou's mother was holding the employee meal that Lin Zhi had brought over, and for a moment she was at a loss.

After all, she was only staying here temporarily and had already caused a lot of trouble to her employer, so it was only natural for her to help with some work.

How can I have the face to eat the food sent by my employer?

Looking at Zhou's mother's terrified eyes, Lin Zhi couldn't bear it, so he explained: "Don't worry about eating. The new employees today have smaller appetites and can't finish so much food, so there are two extra portions. I gave you one, don't think too much, don't have any psychological burden."

Lin Zhi didn't intend to win people's hearts with a mere meal, she was just telling the truth.

Even so, Zhou's mother still thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, boss. Please also convey my gratitude to that employee on my behalf."

After learning that those employees were doing the same "mysterious" work as the people in the room, Zhou's mother gave up the idea of ​​thanking them in person.

She ate half of the lunch and carefully saved the remaining half for Mr. Zhou who would bring firewood later.

The previous lunch was shared by Zhou Daniu and his family of three, but today the three of them can finally eat their fill.

When Mrs. Zhou took the food handed to her, she couldn't help but look up at her mother.

"Why don't you thank your boss?" Madam Zhou said as she gently pushed her son beside her, signaling him to thank Lin Zhi quickly.

After hearing his mother's reminder, Mrs. Zhou's son raised his head and looked at Lin Zhi, then said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Thank you, Master."

Seeing that the child was so well-behaved and sensible, Lin Zhi couldn't help but smile. He reached out and gently touched his head, and said to him gently, "You're welcome. Eat quickly."

The child was very obedient. He stood there motionless and let Lin Zhi stroke his head.

Not only did he not have any resistance, but he seemed to like the feeling of being cared for by Lin Zhi, and his heart felt warm.

Shortly after lunch time, the entire store entered its busiest phase.

Everyone was very busy. Even Lin Zhi, who used to have more free time in the afternoon, was now busy all day.

Sometimes, Lin Zhi couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that he was asking for trouble.

You can live a leisurely and comfortable life, but you insist on finding something to do and keep yourself so busy.

She only thought about this occasionally. After all, the three little ones were hers now. How could she dare to slack off and lie down without changing their fate?

As time passed, night gradually fell.

It was almost evening, and Lin Zhi brought the prepared dinner to the employees who were copying books.

This means that their workday is coming to an end and they can go home.

Looking at the equally rich dinner, the four women felt their faces burning and their hearts filled with shame.

The reason was simple, simply because a whole day had passed and all they had done was copy a storybook twice!

Moreover, this is only one-third of the content of the entire story.

You know, I heard that the employees in the next room have completed transcribing the entire script twice in the same amount of time!

Such a strong contrast made the food in their hands seem extremely heavy, as if every bite was accompanied by deep remorse.

"You can eat here and then go back, or you can take it home. But if you choose to take it home, remember to bring the bowls, chopsticks and basket back tomorrow."

After Lin Zhi gave a brief explanation, he went to enjoy his dinner, leaving the four women to make their own decisions.

The five old men have been living in the dormitory these days, and their dinner is brought back by their families.

The four women looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to pack up the food and take it away.

Even the three women who had been complaining before were no exception.
