Chapter 114: Bacon in short supply

The little girl nodded firmly and pointed at the people around her, "We've all been hit."

Now several parents attacked Li Qionghua at the same time.

"What's wrong with your son? My son is a girl. If he gets a scar, you won't be responsible!"

"You can't do this to my son. I was wondering why you have bruises all over your body. Could it be that Goudan did it?"

All of a sudden, Li Qionghua became the target of public criticism. Goudan had never seen such a scene before and immediately burst into tears.

Li Qionghua slapped him and said, "Why are you crying? I am the one who should be crying."

Having said that, he quickly took Goudan away.

Lin Xi looked at Mo Yu, but that guy turned his head away proudly and looked into the distance.

This horse seemed to be very intelligent. Lin Xi put the cut grass in its trough. It took a look at it, lowered its head and started eating the grass.

When I walked into the house, Xiao Yongyan was sorting things out.

Since the Chinese New Year, Lin Xi saw Xiao Yongyan writing something, but after writing for so long, no one knew what he had written.

Lin Xi picked up one at random and started reading. The more he read, the more shocked he became. Xiao Yongyan was a low-key guy in normal times, but what he wrote was really amazing.

"You've written so much, are you planning to publish a book?" Lin Xi asked.

Xiao Yongyan was stunned. Yes, publishing a book, why hadn’t he thought of such a good idea before.

Lin Xi watched the expression on Xiao Yongyan's face change again and again, which was really strange.

"Xi'er, you are really smart!" Xiao Yongyan stood up and sealed the sorted papers. "The next step is to print this place into books and sell them to the capital."

Hearing what Xiao Yongyan said, Lin Xi suddenly had an idea, "Are you going to show up in person?"

Xiao Yongyan said, "Of course, let Feng Miao do it."

Lin Xi thought for a moment, "Why bother taking the risk when we have someone from Beijing? Besides, he must have frequent contacts with Beijing."

"You mean Hang Qi!" Xiao Yongyan immediately understood what Lin Xi meant.

"Think about it, if a powerful figure suddenly appeared in our place, he would definitely report to the capital, and then your name would naturally spread to the capital. So the best way for you now is to leave traces within the county first." Lin Xi said.

The more Xiao Yongyan thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Xi's method was good. He nodded and said, "This is indeed possible."

"But before that, it's best to sever your relationship with Shuer Academy." Lin Xi said.

Xiao Yongyan nodded. Since he wanted to use the name of Mr. Shuer, it would be best not to have any contact with him in person.

"The easiest way is to fail this exam." Lin Xi said.

Xiao Yongyan nodded, "Then I will claim that I didn't pass the exam and come back to be your cook."

"Not bad." Lin Xi smiled slyly.

No one could have imagined that Xiao Yongyan, who failed the exam, would be the real Mr. Shuer.

The first step was very easy. Lin Xi asked Tang Xuyang to take an article by Xiao Yongyan to a restaurant in the county town.

Ever since Xiao Yongyan's article was posted on the wall of the teahouse, it was immediately regarded as a model by scholars. They began to inquire about who this so-called Mr. Shuer was and how he could write such pertinent and practical political articles.

However, Mr. Shuer was almost unknown in the county, so after asking for a long time, almost no one knew him.

The students in Fenghe Town don’t know that their teacher is now famous in the county.

Soon, this matter reached Hang Qi's ears.

"I heard that a Mr. Shuer appeared in the county town recently. He writes very well." Hang Qi asked his master about this matter.

The master also heard something about it. "To reply to your question, it is true. It is said that Mr. Shuer writes very well. Now all the students in the county are studying his articles."

"But why do I feel that this name sounds familiar?" Hang Qi frowned, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere.

The master thought about it and suddenly realized, "It's Xiao Yongyan. He is studying in Mr. Shuer's school."

Hang Qi also recalled that he did learn about this from Xiao Yongyan.

"When will the scholar's examination be held?" Hang Qi asked.

Master: "Next month."

"Do you know who the examiners are this year?" Hang Qi asked.

"They are all familiar faces and can't escape." said the lawyer.

"Please take care of Xiao Yongyan's paper. Don't let him fail."

"I know. You don't need to remind me of this. I will definitely explain it to you all."

…

Xiao Yongyan is now very busy every day. The scholar's examination is coming soon, and everyone is preparing with all their strength and dare not slack off.

During this period, Xiao Yongyan didn't even go home, but Lin Xi still went back every now and then to see how his silkworms were doing.

As for Lin Ji’s bacon business, it has returned to its previous normal level.

Under Linxi's agency policy, Hong Sheng has sold Linxi's bacon to the county town, and now almost all restaurants in the county town use Linji's bacon.

For Hong Sheng, the income from this business has exceeded that from his own restaurant. He even wants to close his restaurant and concentrate on running Linxi's bacon.

This is naturally a good thing for Linxi's market expansion, but letting one person take charge of all areas was not Linxi's original intention.

That day, Hong Sheng found Lin Xi and said that the goods he had had were sold out, and asked Lin Xi if he had any more.

Lin Xi was in a dilemma. It was not that she didn't have any goods, but they were reserved for herself, and the quantity was not large.

If I give all of it to Hong Sheng, it will not be able to satisfy his needs, and I will also have no meat to sell.

"If it doesn't work, go get some pigs from other places and borrow them to make meat." Hong Sheng said, "Boss Lin, you don't know that the bacon business is very easy to do now. As long as you make it, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell it."

Lin Xi smiled. She naturally knew that the bacon business was now a blue ocean market with almost no competitors, so it was naturally going to be successful.

But once someone on the market figures out how to make this thing, bacon may not be able to maintain its current sales volume.

However, the most urgent task at the moment is to solve the problem of insufficient supply.

After much thought, Lin Xi decided to take a trip to Dafeng Village.

Yuan Herong was very excited when he heard the news from Lin Xi. To them, Lin Xi was now almost like the God of Wealth. He quickly told the head of the village that Lin Xi was coming to Dafeng Village to purchase pigs.

Not only the head of the village was happy this time, but also many villagers in Dafeng Village. Someone came to their doorstep to collect pigs, which meant an opportunity to make money for them.

The name Linxi is familiar to many villagers, and some of them who have relatives in Taoli Village are even more familiar with it.

Lin Xi is a generous person and he offered a very straightforward price. He will definitely make a lot of money this time.
