The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi happened to come to the store to look for Shi Feiyang. Shi Feiyang's eyes lit up when he saw them.

"Mom, sister-in-law, do you think I'm right?"

Madam Shi looked at him in confusion: "I don't know what you are talking about, but you want me to judge whether it is right or wrong. How can I know whether it is right or wrong?"

Mrs. Shi also nodded: "This is nonsense. I dare not say anything nonsense."

Shi Feiyang immediately relayed the conversation he had just had with Lin Zhi to the two of them.

After hearing this, both of them showed surprised expressions. Shi's mother said, "I didn't know Zhuangzi actually cooperated with you."

Officials are not allowed to engage in business, so their family businesses are either managed by their servants or their wives.

When the wife was taking care of the house, she didn't do it herself because it was inconvenient to go in and out of the backyard.

Miscellaneous matters like the management of the village will almost always be taken care of by the village head, and they only need to check the account books at specific times.

Shi Feiyang was a little surprised after hearing what his mother said. He scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, but it also shows that our family's farm business is so extensive that even Ah Zhi was chosen."

Mrs. Shi smiled and said, "Perhaps this is fate, but Ah Zhi's worry is also reasonable. Although we have a clear conscience, it is inevitable that some people will gossip about us."

Madam Shi nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "In this case, we must do things more thoroughly. Ah Zhi, don't worry, I will sort out the cooperation between Zhuangzi and the store with your sister-in-law after we go back, and we will never let others take advantage of it. We will follow the rules, supply the goods as they should, and there will be no ambiguity about the price. Everything will be based on market conditions."

Seeing Madam Shi and Sister-in-law Shi being so sincere, Lin Zhi's worries were alleviated a lot, and he quickly said, "Thank you, aunt and sister-in-law, I was too worried, but Feiyang and I worked hard to build this business, and I don't want anyone to doubt it."

Mrs. Shi took Lin Zhi's hand and said kindly, "Child, it's a good thing that you are thoughtful. Since we have decided to support Feiyang in doing legitimate business, we will not destroy his reputation. If you have any problems in the future, just tell us. Although we are women, we also understand these principles."

Shi Feiyang was watching from the side, feeling deeply moved, and said, "With the support of my mother and sister-in-law, Ah Zhi and I have more confidence. We must run the business well and make this barbecue restaurant our signature restaurant."

In the following days, Mrs. Shi and Sister-in-law Shi really did what they said. After returning, they carefully checked the details of the cooperation between Zhuangzi and the barbecue restaurant. They also specially sent their confidants to supervise the head of the village to ensure that the quality and price of the supply were fair and just.

Everything was ready and the new store opened extremely smoothly.

No one in the city would have imagined that the most remote street in the city would become the busiest street because of a shop.

The surrounding housing prices have never stopped rising since then, driving wave after wave of economic growth.

As the barbecue restaurant continues to be popular, this originally remote street has become increasingly prosperous, and more and more people are beginning to pay attention here.

Some small vendors saw the business opportunity and set up stalls on both sides of the street, selling various special snacks, handicrafts and daily necessities, making the street more lively and full of the smell of fireworks.

As the economy improved, the population of the city increased. In the second year after Lin Zhi settled in the city, Lord Shi was promoted.

The group of people who were eyeing Lin Zhi's shop thought that once Shi's family left, she would lose her support and were planning to rob the shop.

Then she found out that she had a bigger backer.

"It's really fucking unlucky. Where did this stubborn person come from? How did he get to this position?"

The merchant, who failed in his bribery again and was punished by the prefect, could not help but curse out loud.

Yes, not only Lord Shi was promoted, but also Lord Feng who was far away in the county town.

Lord Shi was promoted and returned to Beijing to take up his post, while Lord Feng was promoted from county magistrate to prefect.

According to Mr. Feng's qualifications, he should have been transferred to a new position long ago. The reason why it was delayed again and again was because he was too upright and strict.

Because this way of doing things offended many people, he was unable to move to another position in the county.

This promotion is also related to Lin Zhi.

The shops in the county town saw a huge increase in revenue and tax revenue. With more money and more people, the performance of the shops increased.

Those who had suppressed Lord Feng could no longer hide the truth, so this time his promotion was like a rocket, from county magistrate to prefect.

His arrival eased Lin Zhi's tense situation.

Of course, the nervousness is just a little bit nervous.

After all, in the past three years, in addition to the Shi family as a backer, Lin Zhi has two more backers.

Within three years, both brothers passed the imperial examination and became juren.

The two of them set out for the capital early to wait for the start of the next year's imperial examination. Lin Zhi and Daya stayed in the provincial capital for the time being to hand over their work.

In three years, the first batch of shopkeepers and accountants had already been assigned to various small shops.

Later, there was really no other way, so Lin Zhi asked Chen Zishu to go to the provincial capital.

Lin Zhi called Chen Zishu her chief steward, and the store in the county town was taken over by Xiaohua.

With Chen Zishu around, Lin Zhi has not interfered too much in the business in recent years, so there have been few handovers.

After Chen Zishu arrived in the provincial capital, he quickly demonstrated his outstanding management skills.

He was already well aware of Lin Zhi's business situation. After all, although he was in the county town before, he had always been paying attention to the operations of various stores through letters and other means.

He was very organized in his work, and those seemingly complicated handover matters became orderly under his management.

Seeing how helpful Chen Zishu was, Lin Zhi said with emotion, "Zishu, luckily you came to help me, otherwise I really don't know what to do for a while. You have managed the business in the county town so well in the past few years. Now that you are in the prefecture city, you can make me worry less. You are really my right-hand man."

Chen Zishu responded respectfully, "Boss, you are too kind. This is all my job. The young lady trusts me and entrusts me with such a big business. I will do my best and dare not slack off. Now that the business in this city is bigger, I have to work harder in the future."

It was Lin Zhi who gave him a second life, so he should treat Lin Zhi well.

With the assistance of Chen Zishu, the handover work between Lin Zhi and Daya went more smoothly.

Daya also learned a lot of management skills from Chen Zishu. She was already smart and clever, and now she was absorbing these valuable experiences like a sponge.

In the past few years, not only the two brothers have grown, but Daya has as well.

Knowledge, vision, and ways of dealing with people...

She has everything!
