The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

After intensive efforts, all the goods were finally produced.

During this period, the four of them had no time to eat breakfast and their stomachs were already growling with hunger.

Madam Zhou quickly reheated the breakfast and fried two side dishes and served them to everyone to enjoy.

At this time, breakfast is eaten together with lunch.

After dinner, as usual, the three children began to clean their yard and house, while Lin Zhi had to pay taxes in advance.

When she came to the tax office again, the clerk in charge of tax collection was accustomed to such a huge amount of tax and was no longer surprised.

He skillfully issued a tax receipt for Lin Zhi and enthusiastically saw her out the door.

As a major taxpayer and a businessman who actively responded to the government's practice of stuffing people into the government office, she really deserves such treatment.

After Lin Zhi finished paying taxes, she went straight home because someone from the bank would be coming over and she needed to be there in person.

The staff of the money house had already inquired about Lin Zhi's situation and had prepared sufficient manpower to deal with it.

After cleaning the house, the three little animals went to sleep, leaving Lin Zhi alone, yawning while supervising the people in the bank counting money.

After the people from the bank left, she couldn't bear it any longer, so she immediately went back to bed and fell asleep instantly.

When she woke up again, it was already dinner time.

Madam Zhou had just prepared the meal and everyone enjoyed dinner together.

"It seems that we have to hire a special accountant." Lin Zhi thought while chewing his food.

There is someone responsible for the daily account flow and money counting, so she can be a leisurely and hands-off boss. The thought of it makes her feel relaxed.

"Mom, what are you thinking about? You're about to bite the chopsticks off." Daya reached out and took the chopsticks out of her mouth. The indentation at the front end of the chopsticks where the teeth were going to come out was particularly obvious.

Lin Zhi took a look at his masterpiece and silently changed to a new pair of chopsticks.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about something." Lin Zhi said, then picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Ever since the last volume of the novel Jianghu was released, Lin Zhi allowed the employees who copied the books to freely choose whether to take a vacation, so that everyone could relax for a while.

After all, everyone has been working for so long, it's time to relax.

Among the dozen or so employees, only five elderly people chose to take a day off.

These elderly people are very dedicated to their work. Even when they are resting, they are still thinking about their work.

So after the break, they came back to work.

(Five elders: ...We didn't volunteer...)

However, this time, they no longer work as hard as before, but pay more attention to combining work and rest.

Every day when the sun sets, they will get off work on time and go home to rest, and no longer stay in the dormitory.

After all, they are old and are really exhausted after being busy for such a long time. It's hard for them.

In sharp contrast to this group of old people is the group of young people in the dormitory next door.

Not only do they not rest during holidays, they even take the initiative to work overtime every day.

Every time Lin Zhi saw them like this, he couldn't help but worry that they would suddenly die.

......

In November, Lin Zhi did not release any new scripts.

The stall was still selling the three previously released volumes of storybooks. Although the sales were not as high as when they were first released, there were still many people buying them.

Some of these customers have read pirated copies before and now want to buy genuine copies to add to their collection; some readers are attracted by the story and want to own the entire series.

Lin Zhi thought of collecting it, so he immediately typeset the three volumes together to produce a collector's edition.

For this purpose, she specially found an artist to draw the characters in the novel, then had the drawings carved out, and then had the carved drawings printed to make illustrations for the collector's edition.

The employees who knew about Lin Zhi’s plan immediately started working overtime.

They hadn't seen any new scripts from Lin Zhi for a long time, so they were afraid that their work was coming to an end and they didn't dare to work overtime on weekdays.

Now that they have work to do again, they are full of energy.

Lin Zhi is not in a hurry to sell the collectible version of the storybook. She plans to sell it after the new store is built. At the same time, the new "Interesting Things in the Boudoir" will also be on sale.

Because two books have to be sold at the same time, even if Lin Zhi is not in a hurry, the employees' workload is still very heavy.

The collector's edition of the storybook is being prepared in full swing, and the construction of the new store is nearing completion.

The new year is also approaching.

In modern times, most people like to eat New Year’s Eve dinner outside, but it is not the case here.

Almost no one eats out, and those who can go home go home to reunite with their families.

As the festive atmosphere grew stronger, Lin Zhi gave everyone an early holiday to go home.

"This is holiday money, everyone gets one, just think of it as me giving everyone a red envelope for the New Year in advance."

Everyone looked in the direction Lin Zhi pointed and saw the basket filled with copper coins. They couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Line up, each person takes one coin, then come over here to get the meat."

All employees: .......

I felt dizzy and it seemed like I was hallucinating in my ears.

Did they really hear it right?

One coin...

And pork...

Shock and disbelief filled everyone's hearts and no one moved for a long time.

It was Ah Cai who reacted first and stepped forward: "Thank you, Boss. I wish you a happy Chinese New Year in advance. I hope you will continue to make a fortune in the new year."

Lin Zhi smiled brightly: "Thank you for your words."

Ah Cai held a string of money in his left hand and a piece of fat meat in his right hand, and his smile was brighter than Lin Zhi's.

This pork has a lot of fat, which Lin Zhi specially asked the pork seller to leave out.

Although Lin Zhi himself prefers pork belly and lean pork, people nowadays lack oil and water and prefer fatty meat.

Since it was a gift, it must be something they liked, so Lin Zhi had to reserve the big piece of fat meat that he didn't like.

With Acai taking the lead, the people behind him gradually reacted and came forward to receive their own holiday gifts.

For a moment, the lobby was filled with blessings and laughter.

After receiving their gifts, everyone worked together to clean the store, and those who needed to go home went home.

"What about you guys? Are you all staying here for the New Year?"

Madam Zhou and Chen Zishu's eight copyists nodded.

Mrs. Zhou and her son and Chen Zishu no longer have a home. Now the Lin family shop is their home, so of course they celebrate the New Year here.

Zhao Wen and the other two had offended someone, and going back would only bring trouble to their families, so after much thought they decided not to go back.

"Could you please send these things back to my house?" Zhao Wen asked.

The other two looked at Lin Zhi expectantly after hearing this. They also wanted to send the wages and gifts they earned back to their families.

"Okay, get your things ready, and I'll send someone to take them home for you."
