Lin Jinyue's entire family transmigrated. They started in hell mode, with a three-year drought and war. During their escape, her mother and brother fell into a coma, and Lin Jinyue nearly becam...
Seeing the large quantity of pig offal they had bought, Lin Jinyue immediately got to work.
This group already had experience in handling ingredients.
Two aunties who had nothing else to do came over to help.
The two worked quickly and efficiently, and soon the items were washed without any odor.
Lin Jinyue said with a smile, "Aunt Chunlan, you are a good cook. It seems that only you can do this business, not others."
Aunt Chunlan looked at Lin Jinyue with some surprise, "Me? Can I do it?"
The women in the village always felt that women were useless and that men had to handle all the big and small matters at home.
When I was a girl, that's what my family said. And when I married into my husband's family, my mother-in-law also said that I must give birth to a big, healthy boy.
Only men can establish a household.
But Lin Jinyue is now telling her that only she can do this, and no one else can.
Chunlan was stunned.
Does she really have that much ability?
Seeing her looking blank, Lin Jinyue asked, "Auntie, do you have other plans?"
Chunlan immediately said, "Ah, no, no, I would be even happier if I could go with Er Ya."
Lin Jinyue then looked at the woman beside her, Qian Guihua.
Qian Guihua was only in her early twenties.
However, she has always been very shy and has a very low profile in the village.
It was only today, when the two of them happened to be the only ones there, that Lin Jinyue conscripted them into the household, and that's when she noticed Qian Guihua.
Lin Jinyue remembered that she seemed to often go to Old Tan's place to learn from him.
Lin Jinyue then asked her, "Aunt Guihua, can you read?"
Qian Guihua nodded, "Yes, I know a little."
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "That's perfect."
A general store can be opened, and a manager can be found.
However, the matter of the grocery store should be put on hold for now.
Now we need to make pork intestines.
After they cleaned it, Lin Jinyue prepared a special sauce specifically for making spicy braised pork intestines, which included ginger, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns to remove the fishy smell.
But the taste of this sauce, which was all thrown in at once, was still a little off for Lin Jinyue.
So they tried to get Aunt Chunhua to follow the steps slowly.
Then comes controlling the heat.
After making it two or three times, the taste was already quite good.
The aroma wafted far and wide, and Chen Mazi and the others couldn't resist coming over. Lin Jinyue generously gave them a plateful.
Chen Mazi almost ascended to heaven after taking a bite.
It was spicy.
But when he took the second bite, he realized the flavor. "This tastes so good! Do you guys eat so well every day?"
Lin Jinyue said with a smile, "Yes, Uncle, you guys work hard from now on. Starting tomorrow, when my dad comes back, we'll start providing meals."
Chen Mazi found it a bit strange; why did she have to wait for her father to come back?
However, he didn't think about it in detail.
Because in the short time he was distracted, the food on the plate was almost gone.
The group almost fought over the last piece of pork intestine.
Even after Chunhua had walked a distance away, she said, "Erya, you're really something! That portion was made with seasoning sauce and wasn't even that tasty, yet they still managed to fight over it."
Qian Guihua also said, "This business will definitely make money in the future."
Lin Jinyue remained noncommittal.
Actually, she wasn't sure either.
After all, this is pig offal, and wealthy people wouldn't be willing to eat it.
As for ordinary families...
Although it's pork offal, it's loaded with chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and various seasonings, so it's not cheap.
Lin Jinyue began to worry that there might not be enough chili peppers in the space.
Lin Jinyue planned to take Chunhua and the others to sell braised pork intestines and stir-fried pig liver the next day.
That evening, Lin Jinyue asked again, "Does anyone raise piglets? If not, I'll have those farmers raise them for me next month."
Lin Jinyue was determined to help the villagers get rich.
Her land is quite large; it would be difficult for her to build it up by herself alone.
Only when everyone works together as one can this place be built.
Lin Jinyue also wanted to install running water, flush toilets, and lights, but it would be too slow for just her family to do it.
Taking all this into account, the price she offered was not high.
Outside, a piglet costs ten taels of silver, but Lin Jinyue only charges two taels, and then gives her one-tenth of the pig at the end of the year.
We can take one-tenth of the pigs to the village for the New Year.
Lin Jinyue has thirty piglets and thirty lambs, all at the same price.
Jiang Shou's youngest son bought ten lambs; they couldn't possibly have more.
Lin Fugui's family built a rabbit hutch, but found pigs too troublesome, so they bought those twenty sheep.
Lin Jinyue was surprised to find that no one in the village was willing to raise pigs.
At this moment, Wang Cuiju spoke up: "Er Ya, this pig, I..."
But the next moment, her husband pulled her back and whispered, "No, we don't have any experience, and building a pigsty will cost a lot of money."
Lin Jinyue glanced at it but didn't say anything.
After all, it's someone else's family matter.
"You can't force a sale," Lin Jinyue thought, though she felt that things were a bit strange in Wang Cuiju's family, she didn't say anything.
She figured that since no one wanted to raise pigs, she would ask the farmers to help raise them.
She still has the indenture, so she's not worried about anyone messing around with her.

The next day, Lin Jinyue took her newly made billboard to Shawan County.
The billboard reads: New products available today.
The background features a striking contrast of yellow and red, making the pure black lettering particularly eye-catching.
It was still early, and as soon as they heard that Lin Jinyue had a new product, all the young masters came over.
A long queue suddenly formed at the shop.
Seeing this, Lin Jinyue smiled with her eyes crinkling.
It seems she made the right choice in branding; from now on, everyone will recognize the "Yunheji" brand.
New products also sell well.
Just then, a familiar customer asked, "Young shopkeeper, are there many new products? I've been waiting for so long! When will the next batch of new products be available?"
Lin Jinyue thought for a moment: "The next new product... is next time."
These words made everyone around laugh, and they all found it quite amusing.
Lin Jinyue then said, "The new product...not everyone will like it, but it's in limited supply."
After all, Chen Mazi and his team couldn't make that many pancreas in a day.
At this point, the regular customers became dissatisfied: "Why are there still limited quantities? Do you think we can't afford them?"
"What do you mean not everyone will like it? There's nothing here that we don't like."
Lin Jinyue was almost flattered by their praise.
However, she still told everyone, "Same as always, new products are available for a limited time only."
Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted into the room.
The irresistible aroma of spicy red oil pork intestines wafted through the air, making everyone's mouth water.
One by one, they couldn't help but wonder: Where did this little girl get so many delicious and not-too-greasy recipes?
However, when the dishes for tasting were served, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Ji Zixuan said with some dissatisfaction, "We've been looking forward to this for so long, and all we got was pig offal?"
