The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"What is this? It's delicious!" The lady took a sip of the drink and was instantly astounded.

Delicate temperature and silky texture, just a small sip, the sweet and rich taste is like blooming fireworks, instantly spreading brilliantly in your mouth.

Her eyes suddenly widened, filled with surprise and disbelief.

The perfect blend of mellow milk aroma and fresh tea fragrance, as well as the perfect sweetness, every detail accurately hits her taste buds, like beautiful notes dancing on the tip of her tongue.

She couldn't help but take another big sip. The satisfaction in her throat made her let out a sigh, and the sound was filled with endless intoxication and enjoyment.

The other ladies were originally immersed in the books in their hands, but when they heard her exaggerated voice, they involuntarily shifted their attention from the pages of the book to the cups at hand.

"Is it really that delicious?" The other ladies were full of doubt.

"Do you want to drink it? If not, can you give it to me?" Seeing that everyone was just looking at the cup without moving, the lady who had just quickly finished her own cup of milk tea turned around and asked the ladies around her anxiously.

"drink!"

Hearing her question, the still suspicious lady picked up the cup and took a sip without hesitation.

I just wanted to try it out, but I was so amazed by it.

"Oh my god, it's delicious!" After the lady took a sip, she couldn't stop and immediately drank the entire cup of milk tea in big gulps.

After drinking, she made the same move as the first lady who had finished drinking, looking eagerly at the ladies who had not yet drunk, hoping to have another sip.

Unexpectedly, when the ladies saw her anxious look, they immediately picked up the cups beside them and took a sip, as if a switch had been pressed.

After this sip, there was a series of swallowing sounds. They drank the whole cup of milk tea quickly as if they were under a spell.

"It's delicious!"

"I want more."

"..."

There were exclamations of admiration one after another, and at this moment, they finally shifted all their attention away from the script in their hands.

"Let's ask someone to go next door and buy some!" someone suggested.

When they came, they brought their maids and old women with them, but the leader Li Fanghua did not bring any with them. People like them, who had relatively lower status, were naturally embarrassed to bring anyone into the store.

The maids and old women were waiting patiently in the carriage not far outside. All they had to do was shout and someone would come over to help buy it.

Li Fanghua didn't say anything, and everyone understood that she had no objection.

So, the lady with the lowest status took the initiative to run outside and call the maid and the old woman to buy milk tea.

I thought I would be able to buy the milk tea quickly, but I had to wait for almost half an hour before the maid and the old woman came back panting with the milk tea.

"Madam, there were too many people lining up, which delayed us quite a bit." The old woman hurried forward to explain, "Also, there weren't that many milk teas in the store, so I took the initiative to buy two other drinks."

When the other ladies heard this, their hearts immediately tightened and they began to silently count in their hearts how many ladies here had higher status than them.

In this circle, there is a default rule that people with higher status than oneself naturally have the right to choose first.

Li Fanghua had the highest status among all the people present, and she was the first to choose a cup of sour plum soup.

Milk tea is delicious, but she also wants to try the unique flavors of other drinks.

Almost all the other ladies chose the familiar milk tea, only a few chose the other two drinks, and some ladies had no choice but to pick the rest.

I thought the rest of the drink would not taste good, but after tasting it, I was pleasantly surprised by its taste.

After finishing their drinks, they went back to reading.

Originally they were supposed to support Lin Zhi, but who knew that there would be so many guests beyond imagination that they were not needed at all.

But since you are here, sitting quietly in the store and reading a book is also a good choice.

Compared to going home and facing the complicated things at home, it is a very pleasant choice to immerse yourself in a book in this quiet corner.

Reading is supposed to calm people down, but reading "Interesting Stories of the Boudoir" made the ladies present feel extremely emotional.

It's not because the ups and downs of the plot in the book make them so emotional, but because they can't help but put themselves into certain plots in the book and then make themselves angry.

I don't know if this Madam Lin lay on the wall of their house every day to eavesdrop, and wrote a book after carefully embellishing what happened in their family.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi could only smile helplessly.

This is a novel she carefully conceived and wrote after reading countless novels and watching TV dramas about palace fighting and house fighting. All kinds of classic and common famous scenes are included in it, and there is always one scene that will make the lady feel familiar.

Time passed unnoticed as they concentrated on reading. When they looked up again, Lin Zhi came over to call them.

"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Lin Zhi endured his fatigue and still came to entertain these noble ladies with a gentle smile on his face.

After Li Fanghua exchanged a few words with her, Lin Zhi led everyone to the new shop.

There are still many customers in the new shop, but fewer than at noon. At least the door is no longer as crowded as before.

"There are a lot of people on the first floor, let's go to the private room on the second floor." Lin Zhi enthusiastically led them to the second floor.

The second floor was originally intended to be used as staff dormitories. Later, because some employees had mobility problems, several rooms were left unused. Lin Zhi had an idea and turned the unused rooms into private rooms and offices.

During the whole process, Lin Zhi and Li Fanghua were happily communicating with each other, while the other ladies followed behind them, silently looking at the surrounding environment, like a quiet background.

They were not familiar with Lin Zhi, and they came here to save face for Li Fanghua, so it was normal for them to remain silent.

After being taken to the private room, the food was served immediately.

Lin Zhi did not give them the chance to order, but instead carefully prepared some of each food, allowing these ladies to freely choose what they wanted to eat upstairs.

----------Two-in-one dividing line-----------

After all the food was served, Lin Zhi found an excuse to leave.

Since there were no outsiders around, the ladies couldn't wait to start eating.

I thought the drinks were amazing enough, but who knew the food was just as good.

"It's delicious, even better than what my chef makes."

"I've always heard that the food at the Lin's shop is delicious, but I thought it was just exaggeration."

"..."

In a short while, the food was eaten up by the ladies. Even the rice noodle rolls that didn't smell special were eaten up.

The food Lin Zhi had sent over was not much in quantity. Considering the identities of these people, she tried to arrange the food more delicately and in a richer variety before serving it.

Looking at the empty bowls, everyone wanted to have more food, but they were afraid of being embarrassed, so no one spoke first.

Considering that there were still so many guests downstairs, Li Fanghua did not ask the staff to bring up more food.

Compared with these ladies who were only on superficial terms with her, Lin Zhi, the boss, obviously had more weight in Li Fanghua's mind.

"It's getting late. Count the number of scripts you need. I'll ask Madam Lin to deliver them and then we'll be home soon." Li Fanghua said.

After hearing this, everyone put away their disappointment and reported the number of books they needed to buy to the maid, who then went to find Lin Zhi with the number.

When the afterglow of the setting sun gently shines on the window lattices, the atmosphere in the private room seems particularly warm and slightly lingering.

The ladies leaned back in their chairs contentedly, gently stroking their slightly bulging bellies, their minds still recalling the amazing delicacies they had just eaten.

"Ms. Lin is such a wonderful person. Not only does she write brilliantly, she also runs this shop so well." A lady couldn't help but sigh, her face full of admiration.

"Yes, it's really worth the trip today." Another lady echoed, with undisguised admiration in her eyes.

Li Fanghua smiled, and her admiration for Lin Zhi increased a little more. She turned her head and looked out the window, watching the sky gradually dyed orange-red, thinking that it was getting dark and it was time to go home.

At this time, the maid hurried to find Lin Zhi with the number of books she had counted. After a while, Lin Zhi personally walked into the private room with a pile of carefully packaged books.

"Ladies, this is the book you requested. I wish you enjoy reading it when you go home." Lin Zhi said with a smile, his voice clear and kind.

The ladies thanked him one after another and stood up to leave.

"Let's come back some other time when we're free," a lady said expectantly.

Everyone nodded, and slowly walked out of the private room with joy in their hearts and anticipation for the next gathering.

A trip here completely changed their impression of this small shop that they had previously paid little attention to.

Not only is the scale of this shop quite large, but the food sold there is also delicious and truly impressive.

Attracted by the delicious food, they completely let go of their previous prejudices and secretly planned to come here more often in the future.

Li Fanghua was the last to leave. Before leaving, she took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve and gave them to Lin Zhi for the money for everyone to buy the books and the food.

Seeing this, Lin Zhi quickly waved his hand and said, "Madam, I'll accept the cost of the book, but you don't have to pay for the food." However, Li Fanghua refused and stuffed the money into Lin Zhi's hand.

"I don't know exactly how much the food will cost. If it's not enough, come and tell me next time and I'll make it up to you." Li Fanghua said seriously.

When she came in, she glanced at the menu on the wall and estimated the prices, but since she didn't know exactly how much they had eaten, she couldn't make an accurate estimate.

Lin Zhi looked at the face value of the banknote in her hand and knew very well that the money would only be more, not less. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "She is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the top leader in the city."

If Li Fanghua knew what Lin Zhi was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes at her.

This money was not given out by her generously, but she asked the ladies one by one. Her money was not blown by the wind, so she would not be a sucker and treat so many people to a meal!

After seeing off these ladies, it was almost time for the shop to close as usual.

However, guests still come one after another, looking forward to tasting the food.

However, there was no food left in the store to serve to the customers.

Lin Zhi knew that the new business would have more customers than usual, so he doubled the amount of ingredients he prepared. Halfway through, he found that the ingredients were still not enough, so he temporarily added a lot more.

But even so, we still cannot operate normally until the scheduled closing time.

Lin Zhi looked at the employees with exhausted faces and felt very sorry for them.

She thought for a moment and decided not to ask the supplier to deliver more ingredients.

After all, she herself felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and her employees were so tired that they could hardly straighten their backs.

She knows that there is no end to making money, and only by resting well can she have better energy and condition. She should keep enough energy to continue working hard to make money tomorrow.

Lin Zhi smiled and apologized and explained to the guests. Although the guests felt a little regretful, they also expressed their understanding.

This is not the first time that the Lin family shop has sold out of food before the time is up.

Diners have long been accustomed to this. If you can't eat it today, just come back tomorrow.

After Lin Zhi saw off the last group of diners, she slumped down on a chair. Seeing this, Daya walked to the chair next to her and sat down as well.

I'm really tired today.

"Who's making dinner?" Lin Zhi asked weakly.

Since the barbecue stall staff had not been properly trained, Mrs. Zhou took over the shift temporarily, so no one had time to eat on the first day of official business.

I didn't even have time to eat lunch.

The new employees only had two meals a day at home, so they didn’t feel hungry.

But it is different for the old employees. They have become accustomed to three meals a day and now they are starving.

"Several people are busy in the kitchen, don't worry, mom." Daya comforted.

The new employees still maintain great enthusiasm for their work. They don’t seem to feel tired at all. They are now busy doing finishing work and preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Hearing someone was cooking dinner, Lin Zhi lay down as a matter of course.

When the two brothers came back, dinner was finally completed with the joint efforts of everyone.

To be honest, the meal didn't taste very good. The cooking skills, seasoning and cooking time were not good.

But after a busy whole day, everyone was very hungry. No one was picky and ate up their own dinner, even Lin Zhi.
