The Princess of Northern Land

In the evening, Lin Ziyin cooked all the braised pork and put it in a basin to cool.

The next day before dawn, Wu Dayou came over at the right time, not only helping to push the mill but also to load the goods. Then he had breakfast at Lin's house, and then he and Lin Changshu picked an order and went out.

Lin Ziyin did not follow him this time. Instead, he picked beans at home with Guo Huiniang and Lin Zige, and then soaked them in water for later use.

"Zi Yin, are you making a barrel?" The old man saw Lin Ziyin starting to work with the wood and came over to watch.

"We need a lot of barrels at home, so we need to make some spare ones." Lin Ziyin replied.

"Yes." The old man agreed, and then silently helped her split the wood together.

When he was done, he sat aside and started weaving baskets.

"Sister is becoming more and more capable." Lin Zige said to Guo Huiniang with a smile.

"No." Guo Huiniang also agreed with a smile. It turned out that her family was in debt. She and Lin Changshu were old and young. They were busy every day and felt very depressed.

Now the clouds have finally cleared up, so the smiles on Guo Huiniang's face have been increasing in the past few days.

At noon, Lin Ziyin made two wooden barrels, and Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou also came back.

"How are the sales going?" Guo Huiniang asked anxiously.

"All sold." Wu Dayou rushed to answer, "The braised pork made by sister Ziyin is really easy to sell. At the beginning, no one asked. But after we followed the method that sister Ziyin said and let everyone taste it for free, It was quickly sold out.”

"This is the money from today's sale." Lin Changshu took out the heavy bag of money from his arms and handed it to Lin Ziyin. "There is also good news. Several big customers in the city will place orders with us tomorrow."

"Tofu?" Lin Ziyin asked.

"Yes." Lin Changshu took a sip of water to calm down before answering, "I didn't dare to agree to give too much, because I was afraid that my family would be too busy."

"How much did you promise to go out?" Lin Ziyin asked. She was very happy that Lin Changshu was not fooled by profits. If he agrees to place too many orders, the family may really be overwhelmed, and he will break his promise.

The most annoying thing about doing business is breaking promises.

"Promise to make an extra thirty pounds." They also made about this amount when they went to the market yesterday, thinking that the family could still keep busy.

"Next time, I can promise to make twenty more kilograms." Lin Ziyin said, "But when the weather gets hot, it won't work. And we can't promise it on festivals such as the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year."

"I understand." Lin Changshu agreed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the order quantity at home was large, Lin Ziyin soaked some more beans according to the proportion and prepared them.

There are ready-made tofu, meat and vegetables at home. At noon, the whole family had another hearty meal.

Guo Huiniang was a little worried that it would be too extravagant to have such a good meal at home. After all, the Lin family still has foreign debt.

But when she saw the improved expressions of everyone on the table, she swallowed what she was about to say.

"Is anyone home?" Just after finishing the meal, I heard someone knocking on the door, and then I heard the voice of the Bai family's aunt not far away.

"Someone is coming." Guo Huiniang went over and opened the door.

"Why does it smell so good?" As soon as she walked in, Aunt Bai asked directly without being polite, "Everyone in the village started talking about it."

What are you talking about? The Lin family doesn't know that they are busy making tofu all day long and don't have the leisure time to care about other people's affairs.

"You said that your Lin family is a well-off family and you have money in your pocket but you are unwilling to pay back the debt." Sister-in-law Bai hesitated before answering.

It turned out that she didn't believe it, but after smelling the fragrance coming from the Lin family's house for several days, they still couldn't sit still.
