The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

After she and Daya tried the freshly-baked soy products, they took the basket and packed them all up.

"Let's go to Fu Man Lou."

It was not yet dinner time and there was no customer at Fu Man Lou.

When Lin Zhi passed by, the group of employees were either sleeping or playing.

"Xiao Fuzi." Lin Zhi came in and saw an acquaintance at first sight.

"Mrs. Lin, why are you here?" Xiao Fuzi came over and took them into the lobby. "There are no guests, so everyone is a little relaxed. Mrs. Lin, please don't mind."

Lin Zhi smiled and shook her head. This was someone else's employee, why should she mind?

"Is your chef here? I got some new ingredients. Let's see if your restaurant needs them."

Xiao Fuzi quickly replied: "Yes, yes, Madam Lin, please wait here for a moment. I will go and call the chef now."

No wonder Xiao Fuzi is so enthusiastic.

If the restaurant's new dishes are popular, they can get tips for these purchases.

Lin Zhi and Daya were sitting at the dining table in the lobby. When the employees who were playing around saw the newcomers, they thought they were Xiao Fuzi's relatives or friends. But when they took a closer look, they realized it was Lin Zhi.

They immediately came forward to greet her and diligently poured her some tea.

Lin Zhi thanked the young men and started chatting with them.

Lin Zhi has seen these employees of Fumanlou before.

Sometimes when Xiao Fuzi is too busy to send the ingredients for processing, they deliver them.

The chef came over soon.

Hearing that Lin Zhi was coming, he didn't care about being disturbed, he dressed properly and appeared in the lobby.

"Chef Wang!"

"Mrs. Lin!"

After greeting each other, the two got down to business.

"I got some new ingredients. Please see if they are suitable for the restaurant. If they are suitable, I will sell them exclusively to your restaurant. If not, I will sell them to other places."

As Lin Zhi spoke, he opened the several baskets he had brought.

"Are these all made of soybeans?" the chef asked hesitantly.

"Yes, this is yuba, this is bean curd skin, this is vegetarian chicken, this is tofu pudding..."

Lin Zhi introduced them one by one, and after explaining their names, he began to introduce how to eat them.

"Wait a moment." After hearing this, the chef immediately took the ingredients into the kitchen.

He came out after a while, followed by several waiters. The waiters were carrying several dishes, which were made from the ingredients Lin Zhi brought over.

Bean curd sticks and fish head stew, braised vegetarian chicken, cold bean curd skin, stir-fried meat with dried tofu, and the sweet tofu pudding that Lin Zhi brought over herself.

"Get up, get up, come and have a taste."

Xiao Fuzi called everyone over and asked them to try the new dishes.

Lin Zhi did not participate in their internal review and continued drinking tea with Daya on the other side.

About half an hour later, their shopkeeper came out to negotiate the price with Lin Zhi.

Finally, they were sold to restaurants at the price of ten cents per catty of each ingredient, with ten catties of each ingredient produced per day.

There are five kinds of ingredients in total, which means 50 kilograms per day, 500 coins per day, and 15,000 coins per month.

The two signed the contract and the supply will start from the day after tomorrow.

"Happy cooperation!"

"It's a pleasure to work with you. Madam Lin, if you have any good ingredients in the future, please feel free to bring them to our restaurant." The shopkeeper smiled and sent the person out.

Poor people like to eat meat, but rich people tend to eat vegetarian food.

It’s not because I like to eat vegetarian food, it’s just because vegetarian food is healthier.

The shopkeeper is most satisfied with the vegetarian chicken, which tastes almost like meat and should be very popular with their diners.

With an extra 15 taels of fixed income a month, Lin Zhi was very satisfied.

And this time the cooperation with Fumanlou is not an exclusive supply, that is to say, the soy products she makes can be sold to other restaurants.

However, Lin Zhi did not intend to do so.

It is important to be able to sell for more money, but it is more important not to offend this long-term god of wealth and patron.

Lin Zhi was fully aware of the interests involved. If he lost Fu Man Lou, a major customer, because of greed for temporary gains, it would be a loss.

So, she decided to maintain the status quo, focus on supplying Fumanlou, and work hard to ensure the quality and taste of the products.

At the same time, Lin Zhi is also thinking about how to further improve his soy product making skills so as to better meet the needs of Fumanlou.

Of course, if you don’t sell them to outsiders, you can use them in your own stall, otherwise it would be a waste of the soy products you have experimented with!

The skewers that were put aside before can now be used. With so many soy products added, the ingredients become more diverse.

Secondly, you can also add dried tofu and other things into the braised rice, and sell it separately or add it to the side dishes.

The more Lin Zhi thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to start business tomorrow.

But she still had her sanity.

There may not be many customers coming to eat when the restaurant opens tomorrow.

The heat of the incident of officials arresting people has not yet died down, and the justice that Feng Rui said she would get has not been seen.

Have to wait.

When Lin Zhi returned home, he saw Feng Rui appear at his door.

Lin Zhi once suspected that he had eavesdropped on her thoughts.

"Lord Feng, please come in quickly." Although she was critical in her heart, she spoke enthusiastically.

"Is Madam Lin feeling better?" Feng Rui asked worriedly.

Didn't the doctor tell Lin Zhi to rest for a few days? Why did Mrs. Lin run away after just one day?

"Much better. Thank you for your concern, Lord Feng."

Lin Zhi asked Feng Rui to sit down and poured him a glass of water. "I wonder why Lord Feng wanted to see me today?"

Feng Rui took the water and said with a smile, "I came here today to tell you that I have punished those people. Don't worry, they will never dare to trouble you again in the future."

Lin Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Feng, for standing up for the people. Lin Zhi is grateful."

"You're welcome." Feng Rui waved his hand.

"I just wonder if Lord Feng has found out the person behind this?" Lin Zhi asked.

Feng Rui nodded: "We already know who the person behind this is, but we haven't interrogated him yet. After the people from the government office have asked about the whole story, I will come and talk to Madam Lin."

Lin Zhi thanked him again.

"Mrs. Lin is opening her business again. Please let Feng know. I will bring some people to warm up the place for you that day."

Lin Zhi responded with a "OK".

The best way to eliminate the impact of this incident is to have the officials come. As long as they take the lead in coming to have a meal, the bad influence will be gone, and it will also help to establish the prestige of Lin Zhi's stall.

This is only a good thing for Lin Zhi, and Lin Zhi is not stupid enough to refuse.

The two of them had nothing special to talk about, so when Dalang and Erlang came back, Feng Rui said goodbye.

Lin Zhi sent the person to the door and returned home feeling relaxed.

Almost all the troubles have been solved, and now all we have to do is focus on making money.

When Dalang and Erlang saw Lin Zhi coming back from sending someone away, they surrounded him.

They were not interested in what Lin Zhi and Feng Rui said.

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

They are concerned about Lin Zhi's health.

"I'm fine, very fine."

Even though she said this, the two brothers still remained skeptical.

Lin Zhi raised her eyes. She raised and lowered her left hand.

"Crash!"

One table fell apart.

Dalang: ?(?'?'? )??????

Jiro: Σ(????)?

Lin Zhi was also surprised, but he looked calm: "I said I'm fine, do you believe me?"

Dalang and Erlang swallowed their saliva at the same time, looked at Lin Zhi's thin left hand, and answered with certainty:

"Mom, I believe you!"

"Mom, I believe you!"

Daya didn't know what was going on. She came out and saw the table turned into pieces of wood. She calmly took it to the kitchen and prepared to burn it as firewood.

This table was not ordered from the carpenter, but purchased second-hand.

Normally it is shaky and tends to fall apart if you use too much force.

Lin Zhi had wanted to replace it for a long time, but Daya said it was still usable, so she insisted on keeping it.

"Let's wait until it's completely unusable and then we can replace it!"

At that time, Daya had tears in her eyes and acted coquettishly to Lin Zhi, so Lin Zhi did not change it.

Just wait until the day when it is completely unusable.

She always told Daya that she wanted to replace the table. After she talked about it so much, Daya also wanted to replace it as soon as possible.

However, the two brothers didn’t know about this!

Although this table is second-hand, in order to sell it at a good price, the seller specially painted it so that it looks like new.

So, what Dalang and Erlang saw just now was that Lin Zhi slapped a new table and broke it into pieces.

Thinking of the fear they once felt when being dominated by Lin Zhi's fighting power, the two brothers now just wanted to nod and say yes no matter what Lin Zhi said.

"Let's eat!"

Seeing that the two brothers were intimidated by him, Lin Zhi spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, the two brothers immediately went to bring out the food, and Lin Zhi just had to sit on the chair and wait for the meal.

This is the benefit of being the boss.

Fortunately, she traveled through time and space just to be a painless mother of three children, and not someone's daughter or daughter-in-law.

Those people from the Yang family don’t count. After all, their family had already separated by then, and now they have reached the point where they have no contact with each other until they die.

At the dinner table, everyone returned to their previous lively atmosphere.

After all, no matter how tense the situation is, as long as they get together and chat about gossip, the atmosphere will immediately ease.

After the three little ones shared their daily lives, Lin Zhi told them about their cooperation with Fu Manlou again.

Daya had known about this matter for a long time, and she mainly told her two brothers about it.

"Because we are cooperating with soy products, our workload will increase a lot starting from the day after tomorrow."

"It's okay, mom. We can just get up early." Dalang immediately expressed his opinion.

Although Jilang didn't say anything, he nodded as well.

"You don't have to get up early, it will affect your studies." Lin Zhi did not agree with their approach: "I will get up early and help."

Even if she got up earlier, she couldn't do much, and the workload for the three little ones still increased.

There are workers to share the housework, but the tofu has always been taken over by the three little ones.

Now that the workload has increased, Lin Zhi also has to get involved in order to increase the output.

There is no way around it.

"It will be hard work during this period. Once you have achieved fame, it will be easy to buy a servant."

Dalang and Erlang did not agree verbally. It was useless to just talk about this matter. It required more effort and action.

"And one more thing."

Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at Lin Zhi, waiting for her next words.

Lin Zhi cleared his throat and said to the three little ones seriously:

"I plan to have the three of you share the profits from the product we are collaborating on with Fu Man Lou."

The three of them were so shocked that they almost dropped their bowls.

"Mom, you just take it, I don't need it." Daya reacted the fastest and refused immediately.

Before this, Lin Zhi had already given them 200 coins of pocket money every month, but she couldn't spend all of it.

Now with five taels of silver a month, it goes without saying that she can't spend it all. She simply can't spend it all.

The two brothers also wanted to refuse.

The biggest expense in the family is on them. It is shameful enough for them to take pocket money without making any contribution, so how can they have the face to take money?

"Don't even think about refusing. I've been thinking about this for a long time." Seeing that the two brothers wanted to refuse, Lin Zhi immediately spoke up and said, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket. The risk is too great."

Lin Zhi: "If the stall business didn't require working capital, I would have preferred to take out all the profits and divide them equally. This would reduce the financial risk and train your financial management skills."

Jiro retorted: "Putting it on us is no different than putting your left hand on your right hand."

Lin Zhi looked at him speechlessly: "Say that. I give it to you, the money is yours. How can it become the left and right hand.

You can save the money for emergency use, buy things you like, or start a business. As long as you like, you can do whatever you want.

At this point, Lin Zhi paused and said, "But I hope that when you spend this money, it is because you need it and it is useful. And it is best not to spend it all at once, at least keep some for emergencies."

"Life is unpredictable. Apart from matters of life and death, which are worth all your money, you should be cautious in other matters."

After Lin Zhi said such a long sentence, the three little ones knew that they could not refuse the money.

So I've already started planning in my mind what I'm going to do with the money.

Seeing that the three little ones were in deep thought, Lin Zhi did not disturb them, but started eating.

I don’t know if I will be killed by the will of the plot one day. Lin Zhi can only do this for the three of them.

I didn't save the money for them because I was worried that they would squander all their savings in the future.

Giving them money now can help them train their ability to manage money.

If their lives were going smoothly, Lin Zhi would never have made such a decision.

Their family went through several family changes and difficulties, and during the most difficult time, they almost starved to death.

The life lessons have been taught several times, and I believe they remember them very well. They will not squander the money.

This is enough.

When the three little ones came back to their senses, Lin Zhi had already finished his meal and was sitting in his own rocking chair to digest his food.
