The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

After the Chinese New Year, Lin Zhi made a special trip to visit Feng Rui's family again.

"Don't worry, Madam Lin. Your store is a major taxpayer in the county. No one would be brave enough to sabotage it." Li Fanghua gave Lin Zhi a clear answer.

After hearing what Li Fanghua said, Lin Zhi immediately showed a grateful smile on his face, and hurriedly said: "With your words, I feel much more at ease. When doing business, I am afraid of encountering some unreasonable people who make trouble for the store. Now that I hear what you said, I don't have so many concerns."

Li Fanghua smiled and waved her hand: "Mrs. Lin, you are too polite. Your store has always been run in an orderly manner and you are also active in paying taxes. You have made a lot of contributions to the development of our county. Which official would not like it, right?"

Feng Rui on the side nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Madam Lin, you can just go to the capital city and develop your business with peace of mind. My father and I will take care of the shop in the county town, so nothing will go wrong. And your two children are so promising, so your life will definitely be smoother in the future."

This is what Feng Rui is thinking. He has only known Lin Zhi's family for a short time, and yet they are about to move to the provincial capital to develop, and their children have also achieved fame and success.

The future is limitless!

Lin Zhi bowed slightly and said gratefully, "Thanks to the care of Master Feng and Madam Li, I have been thinking about the business in the county since I went to the capital. After all, it is the foundation. But I feel much more at ease with you helping to look after it."

Lin Zhi paused, then continued, "By the way, I brought some stewed food and dishes from our shop this time. You two can try them."

As he spoke, he motioned to the three little ones beside him to take out the prepared gift boxes of braised food and meals. When they opened the gift boxes, the tempting aroma of the braised food and meals immediately filled the air.

Li Fanghua smelled the fragrance, her eyes lit up, and she praised with a smile: "This smell is really delicious, your shop's products have always been excellent, every time I eat it, I am endless aftertaste."

Years ago, Lin Zhi's shop was crowded with customers. If you didn't go there in advance and queue up, you wouldn't be able to eat the food in the shop.

The shop was closed during the Chinese New Year, and his family had not tasted anything from the Lin family shop for a long time.

As soon as the fragrance came out, their appetite was aroused.

Feng Rui couldn't help swallowing his saliva and nodded repeatedly in praise: "Indeed, Madam Lin, as soon as this smell came out, the glutton in my stomach started to make a fuss. I know it must be delicious just by smelling it."

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "You two are too kind. It's just ordinary food, but it's novel. Come and try it."

Li Fanghua and Feng Rui were no longer polite and started to taste the food with their chopsticks.

After taking a few bites, they put down their chopsticks. After all, the guests were still here, and it would be too rude for them to continue.

Seeing this, Lin Zhi found an excuse and left with the child.

After leaving Feng’s house, Lin Zhi went to Acai’s house.

"Boss, why are you here at this time? What happened?" Acai was very surprised to see Lin Zhi. When his family saw Lin Zhi coming, they were busy entertaining her.

"No, no, no, I just have something to talk to Ah Cai about, and I'll leave after you're done." Lin Zhi stopped Ah Cai's family from preparing a big meal.

Ah Cai said quickly, "Boss, you are too polite. Just tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

"It's not a big deal." Lin Zhi smiled and said, "You also know that I plan to develop in the prefecture city. I can't take care of the county. You have contacts with the brothers in the government office. I plan to invite your brothers in the government office to have a meal. If there is any problem in the store in the future, let them take care of it."

The Feng family will take care of big things, but there are usually no big things happening in the store, so the number of times the yamen runners are troubled will be greater than the Feng family.

Ah Cai smiled when he heard this: "It's just a small matter, there's no need for the boss to come all the way here. Boss, just set a time, I'll take care of this matter."

"Time is a bit tight, how about tomorrow?" Lin Zhi asked.

Ah Cai nodded without hesitation: "No problem, Boss."

Lin Zhi said goodbye to Acai's family before going home.

The store will not open until the day after tomorrow. Lin Zhi plans to go to the provincial capital the day after the store opens, so the only time to invite people from the government office to dinner is tomorrow.

She had already ordered the dishes needed for the next day in advance and only had to wait until daybreak to start working.

After a night passed, just as the sky was getting light, Lin Zhi got up and walked to the shop with the three little ones.

When we arrived at the shop, Madam Zhou and her employees were already busy. Some were cleaning, keeping the shop inside and outside spotless; some were arranging tables and chairs neatly; and others were preparing dishes. From the kitchen came the sounds of cutting and frying vegetables, a lively and busy scene.

Seeing this, Lin Zhi hurriedly joined in to help check the preparation of the dishes and whether there was enough wine and drinks. He also checked with Acai about the number of people who were coming to make sure everything was arranged properly.

Madam Zhou wiped her sweat and said, "Boss, don't worry. We have prepared everything according to your request. The signature braised food, special stir-fried dishes, and good wine are all ready. We are just waiting for the brothers from the government office to arrive."

Lin Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Madam Zhou, thank you for your hard work."

Madam Zhou laughed happily: "Master, you lack everything, but you are too polite."

Always thanking them or telling them how hard they’ve worked.

In fact, the second life of the employees in the store was given by Lin Zhi. As long as Lin Zhi gave an order, no matter how difficult it was, the employees in the store would work hard.

Near noon, the brothers from the government office came one after another. Ah Cai greeted them warmly and said with a smile: "Brothers, I have been waiting for you to come. Please come in. Our boss is treating us today. Please eat and drink well."

Lin Zhi also came forward with the three children to greet them, saying: "Dear brothers, thanks to your care on weekdays, today we just want to treat everyone to a home-cooked meal to express our feelings, please don't hesitate."

Everyone in the yamen responded with a smile, saying, "Ms. Lin, you are too polite. It is all right. It is our blessing to be able to taste the craftsmanship of your shop."

Everyone was familiar with each other, so after a few pleasantries, they sat down and immersed themselves in the show.

After everyone was seated, Lin Zhi asked the waiters to start serving the dishes. One dish after another, which looked delicious and had a good aroma, was brought to the table. The tempting fragrance filled the whole room.

Ah Cai stood up and poured wine for everyone. As he poured the wine, he said, "Brothers, this wine is a good wine specially prepared by our shop. Let's try it and see how it tastes."

Everyone was enjoying delicious food and drinking fine wine. The atmosphere was very harmonious and there was constant laughter.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Lin Zhi stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said sincerely: "My dear brothers, I will go to the capital to develop soon. My shop in the county town still depends on your care. I will drink first to show my respect and thank you all."

As he said that, he drank it all in one gulp. The brothers in the government office also stood up, raised their glasses and said, "Don't worry, Madam Lin, if you have any problem, just come to us, we will definitely not refuse."

The meal was lively and lasted until the afternoon.

There was still a lot of food left, so Lin Zhi asked Acai to pack it up and give it to the yamen runners who were on duty and couldn't come.
