Chapter 76: Lieutenant Pei Who Wants to Eat Soft Food
"Thank you madam, we will do a good job."
Wang Chen and Song Lin's faces were full of surprise, and they both knelt down in front of Lin Jiao.
"You don't have to kneel to me. Just work hard from now on. I won't treat you badly."
After Lin Jiao finished speaking, she took out one hundred taels of silver and handed it to the housekeeper.
"Uncle Liu, please go and prepare two new sets of clothes for them. Since you have to work around me, you must at least have some dignity. I like people who dress neatly."
"Madam, there is no need to spend so much money. We have clothes. The general gives out new cotton-padded clothes to people in Zhuangzi every year. We have become accustomed to being frugal over the years. We will change them right away. Please wait a moment, madam."
Wang Chen quickly waved his hands, they haven't started work yet, how could they let Madam spend so much money?
"Uncle Liu takes them down to clean themselves up."
Pei Yuan smiled and spoke.
After Uncle Liu left with his men, Pei Yuan said to Lin Jiao.
"We used to be poor in the military camp, but they couldn't change it later. Fortunately, you came. Now I wonder if they dare to use frugality as an excuse to wear such rags every day, as if I have abused them.
They are the same."
Lin Jiao caught another important point in his words.
"You must have had a hard time when you first entered the army camp, right?"
Thinking of Wang Chen and Song Lin's appearance just now, Lin Jiao could imagine how difficult Pei Yuan's life was in the military camp.
Vanguard soldiers are the cannon fodder who rush to the front during a war.
"It's all over."
Pei Yuan squeezed Lin Jiao's hand and said with a smile.
It’s all over, it’s not that it’s not hard work.
That already explains everything.
Lin Jiao hugged Pei Yuan distressedly, "I will work hard to make money from now on, and I will never let my husband-in-law work so hard again."
"Okay, I'll wait for my wife to earn money to support me."
Pei Yuan doesn't feel ashamed at all about eating soft food.
As long as his wife is happy, that's fine.
After Wang Chen and Song Lin came back after changing their clothes, Pei Yuan also went out to Prince Liang's Mansion.
Lin Jiao took Wang Chen and Song Lin to the yard selected yesterday, which was right next to the new house. Uncle Liu had already taken everyone to clean it up.
One of the courtyards in the house was the place Lin Jiao chose to work.
Tables and chairs have been placed inside according to Lin Jiao's requirements, and the office areas have been divided.
Time is tight now, so I can only make do with it like this for now.
When spring comes next year, Lin Jiao plans to build a factory.
"This is where you two will work from now on. I don't care what method you use. In the remaining time today plus one day tomorrow, I want you to recruit a hundred workers, because we will start work the day after tomorrow."
Today, she has set up a stove in the yard she has divided for making tofu, and it will be ready for use tomorrow.
Lin Jiao asked Uncle Liu. He had already bought a lot of soybeans and the stone mill she wanted could be delivered tomorrow night at the latest.
"Can you two do it?"
Lin Jiao looked at the two people in front of her and asked.
"able!"
Wang Chen answered in a loud voice, and after speaking, he respectfully asked Lin Jiao: "Madam, can we first understand the process of making tofu?
Only then will we know what kind of people to choose.”
"It's natural."
Lin Jiao stretched out her hand, and Jingnuan put a stack of drawings into Lin Jiao's hand.
"I have drawn all the steps of making tofu. Making tofu is actually not difficult and does not require any skills. The only secret is to order the brine for the tofu."
Lin Jiao handed the drawing in her hand to the two of them, "You guys take a look at the drawing first. I've written down clearly how to do each step, if you still don't understand.
You can come to me at noon and I will make the tofu on the spot for you to see."
After telling Wang Chen and Song Lin some things, Lin Jiao left with Jing Nuan.
"Ma'am, are we going back now?"
Jing Nuan asked.
"Not going back."
Lin Jiao shook her head and asked Jingnuan, "Are you ready with all the gifts I asked you to prepare before?"
"Everything has been prepared according to Madam's request, and the gifts have been placed in the carriage." Jingnuan replied.
"With these gifts, let's go to the Lin family."
Lin Jiao got into the car, leaned on the soft cushions and closed her eyes to relax.
Jing Nuan looked at Lin Jiao with some confusion, "Why are you going to the Lin family now, madam? Didn't Mr. Lin just come to see you yesterday?"
Lin Jiao opened her eyes and looked at Jingnuan with a smile, "When doing business, there must be comings and goings. My visit to the Lin family this time is not just to see Mr. Lin.
If we want to sell our tofu, we naturally need to make it famous and let many people know about it.
Is there any place where it’s easier to become famous than Lin’s restaurant?”
"What do you mean, madam, to sell our tofu to Lin's Restaurant?"
Jing Nuan asked curiously.
"It's not just sold to Lin's Restaurant, it's sold to all the people in Liangzhou."
Lin Jiao does not plan to sell the brine recipe now, but she will definitely do so in the future.
Soon, the car arrived at the door of Lin's mansion.
Lin Jiao and Jing Nuan got out of the car and asked Jing Nuan to hand in the greeting card.
The servant at the door heard that she was Pei Yuan's wife, and his attitude was very respectful.
"Mrs. Pei, it's cold outside. Please wait in the wing."
This is specially prepared by Lin Mansion for distinguished guests.
"Thank you."
Lin Jiao took Jingnuan to the penthouse. Not long after she sat down, Mr. Lin hurried over.
"It's a sin for me to keep my wife waiting for so long, a sin!"
Mr. Lin apologized and saluted Lin Jiao repeatedly.
"I came suddenly, I don't blame Mr. Lin."
As Lin Jiao spoke, she saw Lin Pingping wearing a pink jacket and running towards her as fast as a butterfly.
"Sister Jiaojiao, did you get up specifically to see me?"
Lin Pingping ran over and gave Lin Jiao a big hug.
"I just came back this morning. It's not fun at all at home. I'll go back with you in a while, okay?"
My family is too boring, but it is more interesting to stay with Sister Jiaojiao.
"Pingping, don't be rude to Madam, please let go of Madam quickly."
Mr. Lin glared at Lin Pingping. He was good at everything, but he just didn't have any scheming, otherwise he wouldn't have been deceived by the man.
"Dad, Sister Jiaojiao and I are as close as sisters. Sister Jiaojiao will not think I am rude. You are worrying too much."
Lin Pingping really regarded Lin Jiao as her biological sister.
"Pingping is right. I treat her as my own sister. Mr. Lin doesn't have to worry about us. I came here today firstly to see Pingping, and secondly because I want Pingping to do me a favor."
"I see, Madam and Pingping went to the front hall to chat. This wing is small and it is really inconvenient to talk."
Mr. Lin's eyes were so happy that his eyes turned into slits with laughter.
Silly daughters are blessed with silly daughters, as long as Mrs. Pei doesn't dislike his daughter, haha...
"Sister Jiaojiao, let's go to the front hall and tell you what you want me to do, and I will definitely do it for you."
Lin Jiao followed Lin Pingping, Mr. Lin and others to the front hall and told her the reason for her visit.
"Tofu?"
Lin Pingping was confused when she heard what Lin Jiao said about tofu.
Lin Pingping came back with Jiang and didn't know about the tofu thing.
