As for Dandan, he also took a small hoe and a small basket and went to dig water chestnuts.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Taoyuan Town. Lin Han paid the entrance fee before they were let in.

After entering the city, they went nowhere and went straight to Hualing Pavilion. When they arrived at Hualing Pavilion, Wang Yan took out the key and opened the door.

They carried the pastries in, took them out one by one and placed them on the shelves.

By the time they had set up the food, it was almost nine o'clock. Lin Han asked Wang Yan and Liu Gui to look after the store while he went to buy breakfast.

Lin Han asked Wang Yan: "I'm going to buy breakfast. What do you two want to eat? I'll bring it back for you."

Wang Yan: "We are not picky. We eat whatever the master eats."

Lin Han: "Okay."

Lin Han came back soon. He went to the nearby place and packed three bowls of plain noodles and had breakfast.

Lin Han said to Wang Yan and the others, "Bring the account book here. I want to calculate last month's income."

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, Wang Yan took the account book and handed it to Lin Han, then went out to look after the shop, leaving Lin Han alone in the compartment of the pastry shop.

Lin Han took the account book and looked through it, and did some mental calculations. In fact, the daily income was about the same, between five and six taels.

Including the nine days in May, the total is two hundred and fifteen taels.

After deducting the cost of raw materials and employee wages, the net profit was 162 taels.

Almost all the money is kept in the cash box, hidden in this compartment.

In the cash box of the pastry counter, there were only some small change and copper coins.

Lin Han found the cash box hidden in this compartment and opened it to see if the amount of silver and money inside was the same as he had calculated.

The cash box was quite big, about the size of the stone pillars that are placed at the gates of some places in modern society, such as schools.

Lin Han took the key to unlock the cash box. When he opened it, it was full of white change and copper coins. It took Lin Han a long time to count them all.

He took out three taels of silver and put the rest into the cash box in the space.

After checking the accounts and getting the money, Lin Han felt relaxed and refreshed.

He walked out of the compartment and looked at the shop with Wang Yan and the others. It was hard to tell whether it was because of Lin Han's joining or for some other reason.

The pastries were sold out especially early today, before 3:00 p.m.

Hualing Pavilion sells a fixed number of cakes every day, and once they are sold out, they are gone. The sooner they sell out, the sooner they can go home.

Although selling pastries is not tiring, who wouldn’t be happy to be able to go home early?

Wang Yan's emotions were relatively outwardly expressed. She happily packed the things she would take back to the village. Liu Gui was also happy, but not as obviously as Wang Yan.

Seeing Wang Yan so happy, Lin Han was infected and felt very happy too.

I thought: So happy? I'm going to be so happy when I get home and get my wages.

Lin Han just stood by and watched. With Wang Yan and Liu Gui there, he didn't need to do anything about these matters at all.

After Wang Yan and Liu Gui finished packing, they each carried a backpack that was only half full.

Said to Lin Han: "Master, we have packed up and we can go back."

Lin Han nodded, walked ahead of them, and stepped out of the door first, "Okay, you guys come out, I'll lock the door."

After Wang Yan and Liu Gui came out after hearing Lin Han's words, Lin Han closed the door of Hualing Pavilion, locked it, and locked it with the key.

Then he turned to Wang Yan and the others and said, "Okay, let's go."

Half an hour later, Lin Han and his group returned to Xinghua Village, occasionally meeting one or two people on the way.

The expressions on those people's faces were a mixture of relief and fear, and the two looked very strange when mixed together.

Although Lin Han was curious, he was not curious enough to take the initiative to go up and ask what happened.

But it’s okay. Even if Lin Han doesn’t ask, there is Wang Yan, and she is also interested.

She called the man over, then turned to Lin Han and said, "Master, you guys go back first. I'll be back later."

Lin Han agreed without hesitation. Just kidding, of course he had to agree. He would wait until Wang Yan found out everything and then ask again after returning home.

Lin Han hummed, "Okay, come back early."

Wang Yan smiled and replied: "Yes, Master, I know my limits."

So Liu Gui and Lin Han did not stop on the road and returned home quickly, while Wang Yan stayed on the road to inquire about the news from others.

As soon as Lin Han left, Wang Yan affectionately took the visitor's arm and said with a smile: "Old sister, what happened? Why do you look like this?"

That person was actually Matchmaker Liu. Matchmaker Liu asked in surprise, "You don't know?"

Wang Yan scolded: "Sister, you know that our master opened a pastry shop in town.

My husband and I would take cakes to the town to sell at dawn every day. After we finished selling them, we would come back and make cakes to sell the next day.

It was the same today. I just got back and the first person I saw was my sister.

How could I know what happened? I know my sister has seen a lot, so please tell me if you don’t mind my sister’s help.”

Aunt Liu felt relaxed and comfortable after hearing this, and she immediately smiled.

He whispered, "It's not a big deal, actually. It's related to one person. Guess, see if you can figure it out."

Wang Yan lowered her eyebrows and whispered, "Sister, please stop making fun of me. How could I have guessed it? Just tell me."

Aunt Liu didn't actually expect Wang Yan to guess it, she just thought it was a bit boring.

However, Wang Yan had only been in Xinghua Village for a short time, so how much could she know or how many people could she know?

Even the reason why he and Wang Yan became friends was because they were washing clothes together by the river and Wang Yan helped him.

Aunt Liu said with a resigned tone, "Well, actually, something happened to Yang Dazhuang."

Wang Yan was confused and said, "Something happened to Yang Dazhuang. What does it have to do with us?"

After hearing what Wang Yan said, Aunt Liu looked very disappointed and said, "Ah, the point is not that he got into trouble, but what happened to him."

This sentence successfully aroused Wang Yan's curiosity, and her face was full of thirst for knowledge.

Curiously asked: "Good sister, please don't keep me in suspense. Tell me what happened to Yang Dazhuang."

Aunt Liu's voice suddenly became quiet. She put her hand over her mouth and whispered in Wang Yan's ear, "That Yang Dazhuang is dead. He looks like he was struck by lightning."

Wang Yan's eyes were filled with shock, her mouth was wide open, and she turned her head away in a hurry.

Looking at Aunt Liu, he whispered softly, "Really? Is there any evidence that he was killed by lightning? Could I have seen it wrong?"

Seeing Wang Yan questioning her, Aunt Liu became anxious, "How could it be fake? His whole body was charred from being hacked.

If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing and the birthmark on his left arm, even his mother would hardly have recognized him."

Wang Yan: "Sister, how did you determine that he was killed by lightning?"

Aunt Liu was very secretive. "Actually, we haven't seen anyone killed by lightning, but we have seen trees killed by lightning."
