The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

In the evening, it is time for dinner and the food stalls are very busy.

The owner of the wonton stall just now told her that in the past these stalls would be open until almost curfew time.

It's just these two days, the students are on vacation, so their sales at night will be much lower, and most of them will go back home after the sun goes down.

After eating, the delicacies from these stalls had no appeal to Lin Zhi.

So after going through the entire market, she bought two chickens.

An old hen, a hen.

The stall owner said that his family was waiting for the money to save their lives, and he didn’t dare go home until he sold the two chickens.

So Lin Zhi spent 120 coins to buy the two chickens.

Two chickens weighed about 6-7 jin, which was less than 20 wen per jin. It was almost the same price as fatty pork.

The two chickens were not fat, but rather thin. Not what people of this generation like to eat.

People of this generation do not consume enough oil and water, so when selling meat, they prefer fatty meat.

The price gap between fat and lean meat is quite large.

Therefore, two fat chickens cost about twenty cents per pound, which is not worth buying for normal people.

This is why the stall owner hasn’t sold out all day.

Lin Zhi likes to eat lean chicken, and this price is not expensive for her.

The stall owner also said that the price was actually not high. After all, the two chickens were at the egg-laying age, and after raising them for a while, the money spent on buying the chickens would be returned.

When she got home, the two brothers had already eaten and plunged into the ocean of knowledge again.

Daya was taking a bath.

Lin Zhi put the two chickens in a basket and pressed down the mouth of the basket with something, preparing to eat the two chickens tomorrow.

night.

After the family finished washing up, they started their daily routine.

The new day's turnover exceeded the upper limit again.

Close to five taels of silver.

The daily income from stewed food is not much different, close to four taels of silver. The rest of the money comes from what the cart sells that day.

Another night passed.

Lin Zhi, who was already accustomed to the ancient routine, woke up at the appointed time.

The time I wake up is more accurate than the time the alarm clock is set to in modern times.

Life is nothing more than living the same days day after day, with a few surprises occasionally.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Someone is knocking on the door so early today?" Sun Lai Di was not surprised at all when she heard the knock on the door.

Every day there are always a few diners who can’t wait to knock on the gate of the yard and ask them to open their stall earlier.

What surprised her was that someone came knocking on the door at this time, even before lunch time.

"The store isn't open yet, but it will be open soon, no need to rush!"

Daya shouted this out as she opened the door.

After shouting, he planned to close the door.

then,

Can't close.

She looked up at the person who came in confusion.

"Are you hiring here? We're here to apply for a job."

It was also at this time that Daya discovered that there were two people standing in front of the door, and one of them looked very familiar.

Seeing that Daya didn't move, the visitor repeated his purpose.

"Mom, someone's here to apply for the job." Daya turned her head and shouted into the house, then moved aside to let the person in.

Feng Rui walked into the yard and saw a crowded yard filled with all kinds of items, and people inside were busy and focused.

At this time, Li Chong was about to move to the other side to pick vegetables. The way he held the crutch made Feng Rui's eyes light up.

"It is you!"

Lin Zhi came out of the kitchen and blurted out when he saw Feng Rui.

The person in front of him was his benefactor, who gave him a gift of one hundred taels of silver as soon as he arrived in the county.

He is the uncle of the twins.

"Do you know me?" Feng Rui also felt that Lin Zhi looked familiar.

However, he would meet countless people tomorrow, and Lin Zhi did not leave a particularly deep impression in his memory.

Lin Zhi smiled and invited the person into the house.

The courtyard was filled with various food ingredients, tables and chairs, and was not a good place to entertain guests.

After Daya brought them some tea, she went to the kitchen to look at the braised food. The two brothers, perhaps because they heard a noise or something, came out of the house.

But the two did not go near the reception area, but stood not far away.

Lin Zhi recalled to him how the twins came here.

"Oh! It's you, Madam Lin." Feng Rui suddenly realized, "It's my fault. I didn't remember you as the lifesaver of my two boys."

"I'm just a nobody, how dare I ask you to remember me!"

Lin Zhi exchanged pleasantries with him before finally getting to the point.

"I heard you're recruiting. Have you found the right person?" Feng Rui pointed at the silent man beside him and said, "If you haven't found the right one, see if he can do it."

Lin Zhi turned his gaze to the man.

The man straightened his chest subconsciously, but kept his hands in his sleeves. It was unclear whether it was because he was nervous or something else.

"Are you really here to find a job?" Lin Zhi asked suspiciously.

The man nervously replied loudly, "Yes."

"But I don't think I can afford to pay you a salary that's suitable for you."

Would people who can afford to wear long robes really be interested in a job that pays two or three hundred coins a month?

"Mrs. Lin, how could you have such an idea?" Feng Rui spoke.

Lin Zhi did not hide anything and replied generously: "I see that your friend is well-dressed, so he must be a man with money. My salary here is only 200 coins a month, I am afraid I can't even afford to buy his clothes."

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! This is a huge misunderstanding!" Feng Rui never thought that lending clothes to his brother would lead to such a farce.

He quickly explained to Lin Zhi, "It's not because Ah Cai's clothes are too tattered. I was afraid that he would be kicked out when he came to apply for the job, so I found my clothes for him to wear. I didn't expect that you, Madam Lin, would misunderstand me.

After listening to Feng Rui's explanation, Lin Zhi smiled with relief and said, "I see. I misunderstood. However, the work in my shop requires people who can endure hardships. I wonder if Brother Ah Cai can do the job?"

Ah Cai quickly said, "I am not afraid of hardship, I can do any job!"

Lin Zhi nodded and asked some basic information about Acai.

Ah Cai answered all the questions truthfully.

After asking, Lin Zhi felt that Acai was quite suitable, so he decided to hire him without further consideration.

"Okay, Ah Cai, you can start work tomorrow. The first three days are a trial period, and we can sign the contract after both parties feel it is suitable within three days."

Ah Cai, following his brother's gaze, mustered up the courage to speak:

"There is one thing I think I should tell you, Madam Lin."

Lin Zhi: "You say."

Acai didn't say anything, but took his hands out of his sleeves.

A normal person has ten fingers, but you only have seven and a half.

Lin Zhi looked at his hand which was missing two and a half strands.

It was Acai’s left hand. Only half of the middle finger was left, and the ring finger and little finger were gone.
