The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

She hasn't written any new novels since her last update, so she can use this time to copy a few more books and make more money.

After all, she had just recently bought a piece of land and was building a new house, which required a lot of financial support.

So, although she currently has enough money, she is still a little frightened when she sees the huge amount of expenditure.

Unlike his employees, Lin Zhi did not have such a strong motivation to copy books.

She works completely according to her own pace and mood. She copies when she wants to, and does something else when she doesn't want to.

For example, researching some unique sauce recipes, fiddling with her beloved chili seedlings, or ordering a batch of tables and chairs from a carpenter for use in the new store.

She also went to a blacksmith to order a few custom barbecue grills because she suddenly had a craving for barbecue.

She has already prepared various barbecue seasonings, so as long as she has a barbecue grill, she can easily enjoy a delicious barbecue meal.

When she thought of barbecue, she thought of wine. These two things are a perfect match.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhi wanted to make some drinks. Drinks these days are more profitable than storybooks, and it would be great if he could really make one.

So, Lin Zhi began to try to make wine, but after several days of hard work, she still failed.

Because she didn't have koji, relying solely on natural fermentation would have too much uncertainty and a low success rate.

She tried desperately to buy some yeast, but encountered setbacks again and again.

That was a top-secret weapon that they used for their livelihood, but before she even opened her mouth, they kicked her out.

Lin Zhi felt helpless and frustrated. She didn't have enough knowledge and her plan failed, so she had to give up the idea of ​​brewing her own wine.

Finally, she decided to buy some ready-made drinks to take back.

"Ah..." She sighed and consoled herself, "It's fine if there's no alcohol. Drinking too much alcohol can easily cause trouble, so that's it."

Giving up on alcohol, Lin Zhi turned to the beverage area. After careful consideration, Lin Zhi decided to choose a drink that was both healthy and delicious to entertain the guests - sour plum soup.

The method of making sour plum soup is not complicated. Lin Zhi first goes to the pharmacy to purchase the necessary ingredients: black plum, hawthorn, tangerine peel, licorice, etc.

Back home, she carefully washed the materials and soaked them in clean water for about quarter of an hour.

Next, she put the soaked ingredients into the pot, added an appropriate amount of water, boiled it over high heat, and then simmered it over low heat for about 25 minutes. During this process, the aroma of the sour plum soup gradually spread, making people salivate.

When the flavor of the sour plum soup becomes stronger, Lin Zhi adds an appropriate amount of rock sugar and stirs it gently to allow the rock sugar to melt completely. Then, she turns off the heat and lets the sour plum soup cool naturally. This can better preserve the flavor of the sour plum soup.

In the last step, Lin Zhi used a strainer to filter out the ingredients in the sour plum soup, leaving only clear and transparent soup.

She poured the sour plum soup into the container, and the sour plum soup was ready.

Although due to the lack of a refrigerator and ice, the taste of the sour plum soup is slightly lacking in coolness, but it still exudes an attractive aroma and is still very delicious.

However, the cost is a bit high. Things like rock sugar are much more expensive than meat. If you really want to sell it, the price will probably be very high.

But these are things to be considered later, it is too early now.

Lin Zhi gave the prepared sour plum soup to the shop assistants for tasting, and received unanimous praise from everyone.

In today's society, sugar is a rare commodity, and this sour and sweet plum soup is really hard to resist.

Moreover, Lin Zhi cooked a relatively large amount, and gave the remaining part to customers who came to dine in the restaurant, which also received a lot of praise.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the day for the third volume of the storybook to be published.

Since the vacant lot next door is under construction, it can no longer be used as the sales venue.

Lin Zhi could only open the door of the shop where he lived and conduct the sales activities directly in the yard.

In order to avoid affecting the normal business of the shop, all the dishes for the day were prepared in advance and placed in the kitchen of the shop next door, and the water tank was filled up the night before and filled again before opening the next day.

Finally, the release time has arrived!

These people almost filled the entire street, making people wonder what was going on.

Some uninformed people saw so many people gathered here and thought there was some bargain to be had, so they joined the queue.

However, when they later discovered that these people were there to buy the storybooks, those who had originally expected to take advantage began to complain and curse, and began to indiscriminately attack those around them.

Due to the unwarranted insults, the people in the queue naturally could not tolerate such treatment.

So they started to curse at those who cursed, and it gradually turned into a physical fight. Finally, under the gaze of the officials, everyone became silent, as if they had turned into a group of quails.

Many people came to buy the storybooks, but most of those queuing were from other places, while residents of the county arrived later.

Therefore, the locals who arrived later suggested that the books should be sold to their own people first, and then to outsiders.

This proposal sparked a heated debate and almost caused the team to fall into chaos and fighting again.

As time went by, more and more people joined the queue, and the number of books in stock decreased at a visible rate.

The food vendors on this street also had fun the whole day, with their spatulas flying all the time.

Halfway through the journey, Lin Zhi and Daya took turns having lunch and then continued.

It was not until the evening, almost curfew time, that those who had not bought the scripts left reluctantly.

Lin Zhi and Daya were exhausted. After washing up, they left all the money aside and went to bed.

Dalang and Erlang had a lot of homework to do, so they didn't dare to count the money all the time. They just counted a basketful of money and then continued to do their homework.

The next day, there were still many people coming to buy books.

But after noon, there were fewer people, and at least the seemingly endless line was finally visible.

By the afternoon, there were even fewer people, and you could buy the latest edition of the storybook without even queuing up.

"I'll leave this to you. Mom can go back and have a rest." Lin Zhi stood up and said to Daya.

Daya nodded: "Go, Mom, I'm here." She knew that her mother had been really hard-working during this period, so she did not stop her.

Besides, it's already afternoon, and there are fewer and fewer people buying books. Daya can handle it all by herself.

Lin Zhi smiled and patted Daya's shoulder, then turned and left.

She needed to rest and recover her strength. Although her body was exhausted, her heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.

After returning home, Lin Zhi lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and felt his body relax.

Gradually, Lin Zhi fell asleep.

When Lin Zhi woke up, the sun was already setting.

Lin Zhi closed the door to block out the sight of outsiders.

Then he returned to his room, sat down beside the bed, poured out one of the baskets of copper coins, and began to count the money.

The day after tomorrow the money shop will come and take the money away. There is so much money that it is impossible to count it in one day. How can I dare to continue resting?
