Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

When Chen Lang returned to the tofu shop, Li Xiuzhi had already told Li Xiaohu and his wife that they were going to Linshui.

Li Xiaohu was a little reluctant and said, "Brother-in-law, are you really leaving?"

"In Nanhe County, we still do business."

Chen Lang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Xiao Hu, the business my brother-in-law wants to do next won't work in Nanhe County at all."

"Besides, doing business in Nanhe County is not safe."

"The new county magistrate of Linshui is the one who is truly on the same side as me. Doing business under him, I can let go completely."

Li Xiaohu scratched his head and said, "Brother-in-law, what business are you going to do?"

Chen Lang said, "Selling wine."

Li Xiaohu was puzzled: "Wine... can't we sell it here?"

Chen Lang said, "What I want to sell is strong liquor. This kind of liquor is what the Liao people like the most."

"Besides, those people slandered me as a Liao people. If I don't do business with the Liao people, wouldn't that be a betrayal of their kindness?"

Li Xiaohu asked, "Strong liquor? The kind my brother-in-law made earlier?"

Chen Lang said, "It's even stronger than this. Let's put it this way, with your alcohol tolerance, you'll be knocked out with just one glass."

Li Xiaohu took a deep breath and said, "The Liao people have such strong tastes?"

Chen Lang said, "The people on horseback are rough and unrestrained, and they love to drink and eat meat with big gulps. We are more reserved, and even when drinking strong liquor, we pay more attention to the atmosphere when drinking."

"If one person consumes less than half a pound a day, this business would be meaningless."

"Besides wine, there are other businesses that can only be carried out in Linshui. I won't go into details here."

"Anyway, after I'm gone, the tofu shop will be left to you and your wife to manage yourselves."

Zhao Chunhua took over the conversation and said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, we will definitely run the tofu shop well and will not embarrass you."

Chen Lang said, "Before I leave, I have a few things to tell you."

Li Xiaohu said, "Brother-in-law, just give me your instructions. I will definitely do it."

"First of all, it's Zhao Hongwei's family. After Shi Liguo's death, Zhao Xiongwei completely lost his power in the county."

"If you want revenge, go back sometime and break both of Zhao Xiongying's legs. Don't worry about retaliation; they won't dare."

When Li Xiaohu heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.

I have finally waited for this day.

"Secondly, when you return to the village, go to Hezhong Village and let Zhuzi and his grandfather live in the new house we just built. Or if your parents don't want to stay in Shanghe Village, they can move in."

Zhao Chunhua hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, this is not good. You haven't lived in that house for a day. How can my parents move in?"

Chen Lang said: "Houses are for living in. If they are empty, they lose their meaning."

"And the house needs popularity to nourish it, otherwise it will easily break down."

"Grandpa Zhuzi suffered a lot because of me this time. Letting him live in my house can be considered as a kind of compensation."

Li Xiaohu pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's going on with Old Man Chen's family? Do you want me to beat them up too?"

Chen Lang said, "This time, their attempt to accuse me of being from Liao failed. Old Man Chen and his family definitely can't stay in Hezhong Village anymore. They might have already moved away. There's no need to waste time on them."

Li Xiaohu snorted, "This family of ungrateful bastards, if they really move, it would be a relief for them. If they don't, I will definitely not let them go."

Chen Lang continued, "In addition to the house in the countryside, I'd also like you to take care of the teacher's house."

"I'll hand this house over to the real estate agency, but you'd better go there once a month or so to see if the real estate agency is messing around. If there's anything wrong, write to me immediately and I'll come back to deal with it."

Li Xiaohu nodded: "I understand."

"Brother-in-law, anything else?"

Chen Lang said: "The next step is manpower."

After saying that, he looked at Sun Yuwei and said, "Brother Sun, do you want to go to Linshui with me, or stay in the tofu shop?"

Sun Yuwei decided to follow Chen Lang without any hesitation.

The primary reason for making this decision was because of his daughter Cuicui.

Chen Lang is now a scholar, and Cuicui follows him to learn culture. This is an opportunity earned by the great efforts of her ancestors. If she stays in Nanhe County, Cuicui can only be a maid like the servants in the tofu shop.

Even if she had to be a maid, being Guoguo's maid would be the best destination for Cuicui.

Chen Tao walked up to Chen Lang, pulled his sleeve and said, "I, I!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take you with me."

Chen Tao grinned naively.

"Xiao Qi, you and your sister, come with me too."

Xiao Qi's smile was exactly the same as Chen Tao's: "Okay, sir."

Ever since he went to Qinzhou Prefecture, he could no longer change the name Xiaoqi. The other servants in the tofu shop still called Chen Lang the boss, but he always called him Young Master.

In Xiaoqi's heart, calling someone "Young Master" is something that makes him feel very proud.

However, Chen Lang was unaware of this little thought.

Chen Lang looked at his servants again and said, "I said before that I would let you go, and this still holds true now."

"Those who don't want to stay in the tofu shop can leave now. I will give you the indenture and the money for your journey."

The servants looked at each other, but in the end no one left.

They were all untouchables, and even if they got their indentures back, they would just be transferred to another family and continue to serve as servants.

The treatment you get as a servant in someone else's home may not be as good as that in a tofu shop.

Chen Lang was quite happy that no one left, as it showed that the tofu shop was very lively under Zhao Chunhua's management.

After arranging the staff, Chen Lang asked Xiao Qi to go to the grocery store to buy saltpeter, goat milk and sugar cubes.

After the saltpeter came back, Chen Lang dismissed everyone else and left only Zhao Chunhua and Li Xiaohu.

"Next, I'll teach you how to make ice. This method is too simple, and anyone else can tell how to do it just by looking at it."

"So when you're making ice, be careful not to be seen by outsiders."

"As for those people at the tofu shop, don't tell them unless you have absolute trust in them."

While making ice, Chen Lang also taught Zhao Chunhua how to make ice cream.

This thing is similar to Bingxue Lengyuanzi, both of which are great for cooling off and quenching thirst in summer.

"Tofu, fermented tofu, braised food, and iced cheese—these four products are enough to make Tofu Shop an invincible force in Nanhe County."

"As for how things will develop in the future, it's up to you, Chunhua. If you really can't make up your mind, come back to me."

Zhao Chunhua's face flushed with excitement. She said, "Brother-in-law, since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down."

Chen Lang said: "One last thing."

"After I leave, Lanlan must not fall behind in her studies."

"Spend some money to invite a teacher to come back and teach you. Remember, a well-educated mind is naturally elegant. You also hope that Lanlan will become a lady from a noble family in the future, rather than a country girl."

Li Xiaohu said: "Okay brother-in-law, I will ask the teacher to teach Lanlan."

Chen Lang said: "Okay, that's about it. I still have to go out and meet some old friends. You guys should say goodbye to Xiuzhi."
