Chapter 15 Business Opportunities

Ping'an Bo Mansion.
Lin Xiu took the stray dog ​​back home and sent his servants to rub it all over his body, so it didn't have that bad smell.
Then he squatted down, patted its head again, and said, "You will call it Dahuang from now on."
The dog seemed very spiritual. After walking around Lin Xiu for a few times, he ran outside the Lin Mansion, lay in the corner of the wall, and his eyes swept over the pedestrians passing by in front of Lin Mansion from time to time. He seemed to be more loyal than Sun Dali.
Although the toxins in Sun Dali's body were cleared, if you want to recover, you will have to rest for a few days. To be on the safe side, Lin Xiu has not gone out these days.
This is the capital. Even if someone wants Lin Xiu’s life, there are not many people like the female assassin who dare to enter the mansion to assassinate the powerful and powerful directly.
It is safe to stay at home, but for Lin Xiu, there is another very embarrassing thing.
It took him all day to stay at home, so Lin Xiu and Ping Anbo and his wife naturally had more time to spend together. Although they were very nice to Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu knew very well that their love was for another Lin Xiu, which made him unable to say anything.
During dinner, Mrs. Ping Anbo kept picking up food for Lin Xiu's bowl, and her eyes were full of love when she looked at Lin Xiu, which made him feel warm and full of contradictions.
In the end, Lin Xiu couldn't stand her enthusiasm, so she could only give up the excuse of eating, and hurriedly finished a bowl of rice and returned to the room.
Lin Xiu was awakened by hunger at night. Practicing a magic trick would greatly consume his energy and physical strength, causing his appetite to increase exponentially. Before he could finish his meal, he was hungry and was about to go to the kitchen to see what food was there when the door suddenly got knocked.
Lin Xiu opened the door and saw Mrs. Ping Anbo standing at the door. He asked in confusion: "It's so late, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Ping Anbo said, "I saw that you didn't eat much at night, so I came over and asked. If you are hungry, my mother will cook a bowl of noodles for you."
"No, I'm not hungry..."
"Gugu..."
Lin Xiu originally wanted to refuse, but his stomach was heard at the right time.
Mrs. Ping Anbo smiled slightly and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be back soon."
Soon, Mrs. Ping Anbo personally brought in a bowl of noodles. This was a bowl of clear soup and vegetarian noodles. In addition to a few vegetables, there were two poached eggs lying on the bowl.
It was just a bowl of ordinary noodles, but Lin Xiu ate it with relish. Not only did he drink all the soup, but he also licked the bottom of the bowl.
Lin Xiu has eaten all kinds of delicacies, but he thought the most delicious is this bowl of clear soup and vegetarian noodles.
When he was a child, he had a nanny to cook. Later, when he grew up, he ate instant noodles, takeout, or went to star-rated hotels with his girls. After living for two lifetimes, this was the first time he had eaten the meal his mother made by himself.
Soon, Lin Xiu put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Thank you."
Mrs. Ping Anbo touched his hair and said with a smile: "Silly child, thank you for saying anything to your mother. Let me tell you what I want to eat in the future. I will make it for you."
The woman in front of her looked at him with pampering eyes. This was something he had so much desire in his previous life, but he had never had. Lin Xiu was silent for a moment, nodded, and whispered: "I understand-mother."
After eating and drinking, everything around him was silent. Lin Xiu lay alone on the bed. For the first time, he felt that God treated him well.
Perhaps, being hit by a meteorite was not God’s punishment for his emotional chaos, but the gift of doing good deeds and accumulating virtues for him.
No dreams all night.
That night, Lin Xiu slept very peacefully.
In the early morning, after Lin Xiu washed up, he came to the front yard and saw the servants in the mansion standing in a row. Ping Anbo and his wife stood in front. Lin Xiu walked forward and asked naturally: "Dad, mother, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yun looked back at him and said, "Mom and your father thought about it last night. There is not much money left in the family. If you can't afford to support so many people in the family, it's better to let them find their own sources earlier and not delay them."
Maintaining the food and clothing cost of more than a dozen people in the family requires considerable expenses.
The third-class uncle's salary was not large, and he could barely maintain the Lin family before. However, when Lin Xiu was sick, he asked the imperial doctor to spend a lot of money, and emptied half of the Lin family's funds. He was a little stretched to support these servants.
Mrs. Ping'anbo Zhou Yun said to the servants: "The Lin family is no longer the past. Staying here will not benefit you in the future. Today I will give you your body contract and give you another ten taels of silver and money. If you are willing to leave, you can leave as long as you want."
The servants of the Ping'an Bo Mansion were all bought by the Lin Mansion before and belonged to the Lin Mansion. The Ping'an Bo man and his wife could completely resell these servants to others, but they did not do so. They not only gave them freedom, but also gave them money and money. They were rare good masters among the powerful.
But the good master is not the good master. The decline of the Lin family is irreversible. Staying in the Lin family will not benefit their future. It is better to look for good trees as soon as possible for the Lin family.
At that moment, several maids and servants took the contract and received the money. Then they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ping Anbo and his wife for a few times, and silently returned to the room to pack up their things.
But there are still four figures, still staying there.
Zhou Yun looked at a middle-aged woman. The woman smiled and said, "Madam, I have cooked meals in the Lin family for the rest of my life and have no other skills. If the master's wife doesn't dislike the food I cook, let me stay..."
After she finished speaking, a hunched old man next to the woman continued: "The old servant has not had a few years of life. I just hope that the old servant can give the old servant a coffin to sit in the face of many years of love. The old servant will have no regrets."
Sun Dali answered very simply: "I won't leave either."
Finally there was a woman, and the expression on her face was also firm: "I will be with my wife for the rest of my life."
Several servants from the Lin family were left behind four, namely the concierge Lao Huang, the guard Sun Dali, the cook Wang Aunt, and the personal maid Ayue, the wife of Mrs. Ping'an.
The departure of several servants made the already declining Lin Mansion feel a little more like the houses falling down and people scattered, and it also made everyone feel extremely desolate.
Lin Xiu and Sun Dali were walking on the street, but they felt differently in their hearts.
It's ridiculous to say that Lin Xiu in his previous life had nothing but money, but in his life he had everything except money.
There are guards who dote on his parents and caring about his sister-in-law, who sacrifice their lives when they encounter danger. Most importantly, he has a home and even a dog...
At this point in life, what else can we ask for?
Lin Xiu’s wish has always been that simple.
In such a magical world, even if he has no ability, he doesn't want to go back.
From now on, he is the real son of Ping'anbo, the clerk of the Qing official of the Daxia Dynasty, and Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu cherishes his current life very much, so he has to try his best to maintain this hard-won home. Now that the situation in Lin’s house is getting worse and worse, what needs to be done to change his current situation.
Sun Dali followed Lin Xiu. Lin Xiu looked back at him and asked, "Your body has not healed yet. Go back and rest. I'll go back later."
Sun Dali shook his head repeatedly: "I'd better follow the young master, and I'll be relieved to follow the young master."
Actually, he wanted to rest, but the weather today was too hot, so how could he stay at home? It would be better to be cooler with the young master.
Lin Xiu has been staying at home these days and has not gone out. This time he wanted to come out for some breath, but after only a short while, he decided to go back.
The weather has been too hot these days. Although Lin Xiu himself is just a walking air conditioner, the hot weather also makes him feel a little uncomfortable. When basking in the sun outside, he is not as comfortable as lying at home to eat iced watermelon.
The same is true for Lin Xiu and Sun Dali.
At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and almost no one was walking in the middle of the street like Lin Xiu, but was walking in the shade on the street, complaining while walking.
"Why is this hot weather? The clothes get wet in just a while!"
"Yes, it's really unbearable. I plan to go to Pinfang Pavilion to find fun. I heard it's cool there."
"No need to go. I just came back from there. The ice storage in Pinfang Pavilion has been used up long ago. There is a steamer there now, so it is so hot that people don't react at all..."
...
This summer was indeed extremely hot, and Lin Xiu felt uncomfortable, let alone ordinary people. The kings and the people all suffered from the heat.
Lin Xiu raised his head and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky. Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.
He can make money with his own abilities!
The capital has been in constant heat recently, and it is hard to find a market. Whether it is a wealthy businessman or a nobleman, no matter how rich he is, he cannot buy ice, unless they have the ability of Lin Xiu.
Although Lin Xiu's current strength is not as strong as Lingyin, it is difficult for him to make ice out of thin air, but it will be much easier if the water is just freezing. The difficulty of these two is not at the same level.
Apart from Lingyin, he is the only one in the entire Daxia royal capital who can make ice.
