The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

Lin Zhi sat in his own rocking chair, looking at the lively scene in front of him, and his mind was indeed thinking about the three little ones.

After being together for so long, she has developed feelings for the three little ones.

Although she did not put herself in the role of their mother, she already treated them as her relatives.

Now she suddenly knew that her relatives would have a rough future and die a violent death. Lin Zhi asked herself if she could remain indifferent.

After she traveled through time and space to this dynasty, the fate of the three children changed. Their future should have changed as well.

However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of the worst.

What if things turn out to be as planned in the book?

"No, we can't sit still and wait for death."

She suddenly stood up and called out to Acai who had just returned.

"Boss, what do you want from me?" Ah Cai was confused.

Everyone is working, he would feel uncomfortable if he came to chat.

"I want to ask you something." Lin Zhi frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Ah Cai quietly waited for Lin Zhi to ask questions, but Lin Zhi remained silent for too long, so he had to speak:

"Boss, feel free to ask whatever you want to ask. I will answer everything I can."

Lin Zhi: “….”

"Tell me... can I, a person without status and background, make my business strong and big and keep it?"

Lin Zhi had never thought of this before. She originally wanted to make enough money to support her family and her two brothers' education.

Wait until the two brothers have become successful, expand the business, and then find someone to help manage the business affairs, and she will just be responsible for running the business.

It is really not suitable to be high-profile at this stage, only low-profile is suitable.

Because it can't be protected.

This is not modern times, this is ancient times! A place where both black and white exist, where black can turn white and white can turn black.

The reason why I abandoned my previous idea now is entirely because of what Ah Cai said yesterday that the county magistrate was a good official.

If the leading officer is good enough...

Ah Cai: “…”

Lin Zhi: “You don’t…”

Ah Cai interrupted her: "In this county, the bigger your business, the safer you are."

"What do you mean?" Lin Zhi listened attentively.

Ah Cai looked at Lin Zhi meaningfully: "My Lord likes merchants who pay taxes on time, understand?"

Lin Zhi understood immediately and asked Acai to continue working while she lay back in the rocking chair.

If what Acai said was true, then she would have to change her plan and make enough money before leaving the county.

It’s hard to say whether I can meet such a good official again after leaving this county.

While Lin Zhi was thinking about this and that, Zhou Sheng came in carrying his mother on his back.

A very thin woman, so thin that a boy in his early teens could carry her on his back.

"Hello, boss!"

As soon as Zhou Sheng put her down, she walked up to Lin Zhi and greeted him.

His attitude was even more reserved than that of Sun Lai Di's three children.

"Hello, sit down and take a rest." Lin Zhi said lightly.

Zhou's mother sat trembling in a chair beside her, not knowing what to do with her hands.

"Grandpa Cai can't take care of so many children. After you have rested, please go over and help."

Lin Zhi's sudden voice startled her. Then she immediately reacted and quickly agreed.

When Grandpa Acai heard Lin Zhi's words, he immediately wanted to refute that he could, but when he turned around and saw the frail mother Zhou's reserved look, he swallowed his words back and said, "You came just in time. These little guys are too troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother quickened her pace.

She wasn’t used to dealing with people her own age, but with the kids, she wasn’t.

After sending Zhou's mother away, Lin Zhi lay back down and continued thinking.

Seeing that she was in deep thought, Daya did not disturb her. Instead, she sat beside her with needle and thread and started doing needlework seriously.

She had just gone to braise some food for everyone to eat together, and now she had some free time.

In a month, Lin Zhi taught everything that needed to be taught, and Daya learned everything that could be learned. She could embroider simple patterns without Lin Zhi's guidance.

She was so focused on what she was doing that she didn't notice that soon after she started, Zhou's mother and several children surrounded her and were watching with great interest.

Craftsmen are hard to come by these days, and if you want to learn a skill you have to find a master.

They are all people of similar level, and there is really no one around them who knows how to embroider.

The only embroidery that can be seen in the city is in cloth shops. That is the only place where they can come into contact with embroidery.

But they didn't even have the courage to go in and take a look at that place.

Yesterday's farce did affect business.

In the past, there would have been people waiting outside the door, but now there were only a few waiting there.

Several people who were waiting were persuaded to leave by Mrs. Zhang, who lived next door to Lin Zhi.

"How dare you come here to eat? Yesterday, a group of soldiers came here and arrested the shopkeeper without saying a word..."

She didn't need to say much for the rest of the conversation as the diners had already figured it out and left without even thinking.

As subjects, they knew what kind of person their county magistrate was. Since he sent out soldiers to arrest people, it seemed that Lin Zhi had caused a lot of trouble.

Seeing those diners run away in fear, Madam Zhang was very proud.

But when she turned around, she saw Lin Zhi leaning against the door frame, looking at her with a smile, and she was almost scared to death.

"This person must have had a hand in what happened yesterday."

Lin Zhi lowered his head and said to Daya affirmatively.

Daya also nodded, she felt the same way.

There were still a few diners outside the door. When they saw Lin Zhi coming out, they knew that what happened yesterday was not that serious, and they came forward to ask Lin Zhi whether he would be open today.

Lin Zhi shook his head and said to them, "We are closed for the next two days."

Those people immediately lowered their heads in dejection.

"Boss, can you make a special braised pork rice for me? I'll pay extra." A man in coarse linen clothes gritted his teeth and came forward to ask.

Lin Zhiguan saw that he was wearing shabby clothes and was obviously from a poor family. He couldn't understand why he would spend double the money to buy braised rice.

"The old man in my family is in poor health. He has never had a good meal. I want him to have a good meal before he leaves." The man choked up as he spoke.

"We have a staff dinner here today, and there is no food for sale."

Hearing this, the man lowered his head.

"However, if you are willing to help, you can come in and eat with us. It's free."

The people present couldn't imagine such a good thing and they all agreed.

Lin Zhi asked Daya to prepare two servings of braised pork rice and gave them to the man who was questioning him: "It should be inconvenient for your family to come over. You can take these two bowls of braised pork rice back with you, one for you and one for your family."

"Thank you! Thank you!" the man thanked immediately.

Before leaving, he knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi: “…”

There is no need for such a grand ceremony.
