Chapter 169 Unexpectedly Delicious

Fang Zhixia had always known that the food in the countryside was generally poor, but she never expected that Lin Luoxi's family's food would be so delicious.

I glanced at the home-cooked dishes on the table, and they didn't seem any different, so why did they taste so different?

"No, the food we cook at home has always tasted like this." Lin Wenqian answered seriously when he saw the surprised and puzzled expressions on Lin Lishi and Fang Zhixia's faces.

He naturally knew that the taste of the food at home was different from before. It seemed that the change started after his second sister woke up.

His family was well aware of this, but they never told outsiders, for fear that others with ill intentions might harm Lin Luoxi.

Xie Hanchuan noticed Lin Wenqian's eyes subconsciously glancing at Lin Luoxi, and knew that this change must be related to Lin Luoxi. He narrowed his pupils slightly and changed the subject.

"Grandma, it must be because you had a fight with Grandma Lin just now, and you did so much work, that you were hungry and the food tasted better."

"Really? Then it should be." When Xie Hanchuan brought up the fight, and with Fang Zhixia, the daughter of a wealthy family, also present, Lin Lishi felt hot-faced and didn't delve any further, lowering her head to eat.

Seeing that Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan had both said so, Fang Zhixia also thought it was farm-style food with a unique flavor, so she didn't think much of it and lowered her head, becoming a mere morsel of rice.

Seeing that the two of them didn't ask anything, Lin Luoxi looked up and looked at Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan.

Did she slip up in some way that these two saw, and they actually spoke up for her unconditionally?

Seeing the two of them grinning at her with rice in their mouths, she was speechless for a moment, then lowered her head and ate her food.

After the meal, Fang Zhixia rubbed her bloated stomach and followed Lin Luoxi without any regard for her image, going wherever Lin Luoxi went.

As soon as Lin Luoxi had some free time, he couldn't wait to start talking to her about the collaboration.

Lin Luoxi provided the clothing design, while Fang Zhixia provided the manpower and resources, and they collaborated on a 20/80 split.

Fang Zhixia originally planned to give Lin Luoxi 30% of the profits, while she would take 70%. However, Lin Luoxi felt that she only produced the design drafts and didn't need to worry about anything, so she insisted on taking only 20%.

Seeing Lin Luoxi's insistence, Fang Zhixia had no choice but to listen to her. In the end, they reached an agreement on a 20/80 deal and signed the contract.

Once her designs become a bestseller, there will definitely be imitations. Lin Luoxi had already thought of ways to deal with this and told Fang Zhixia about them in advance.

With Lin Luoxi's guidance, Fang Zhixia reached a cooperation agreement with Lin Luoxi. Lin Luoxi then gave her about ten more blueprints, and she hurriedly got into the carriage and left.

"Second sister, I've noticed that you have a good business sense. So why don't you plan to build your own business and instead cooperate with Miss Fang?"

Ever since Fang Zhixia arrived today, he has been following Lin Luoxi around, listening to Lin Luoxi talk eloquently about business. Lin Wenqian thinks that if Lin Luoxi were to open her own shop and run a clothing store, her business would definitely be no worse than Fang Zhixia's.

"Brother, my ambition isn't to open clothes."

"Sometimes it's much easier to be a hands-off manager than to run the business yourself. You'll understand how smart I am later."

Lin Luoxi knew that Lin Wenqian didn't understand her intentions right now, and she didn't intend to explain too much. There would be plenty of time, and time would be the best proof.

"Big brother, I believe that second sister must have her reasons for doing this." Lin Wentao still believed in Lin Luoxi as always.

"Yes, yes, Second Sister is only interested in drug research. Everything else is just icing on the cake." Lin Luoning seemed to understand Lin Luoxi very well.

"You two clever little devils really understand me." Lin Luoxi praised the two adorable children, Lin Luoning and Lin Wentao, without reservation.

"Second sister, Sister Fang brought a lot of fabric and gifts. Let's go take a look."

Because there were many people at home, all the gifts Fang Zhixia brought were put into Lin Luoxi's room by Lin Wentao and Lin Luoning.

"Let's go!" Fang Zhixia was in the cloth business, and considering that Lin Luoxi's family lived in the countryside, she had brought mostly practical items.

"This is too extravagant." Looking at the six bolts of fabric in front of her, each a different shade of fine cotton, it was clear that Fang Zhixia truly treated her as a friend.

Looking at all the gifts in front of her, Lin Luoxi wondered if asking Fang Zhixia for two-tenths of the profits was too much.

"Sister Fang is so kind and generous, giving our family so many things all at once." Lin Wentao and the others had never seen anyone give their family gifts before, and they really liked Fang Zhixia's generosity.

"You're making it sound like I'm not generous," Lin Luoxi said, feigning jealousy as she looked at the two kids' faces.

“My second sister is naturally the best. It’s because my second sister is so good that she attracted Sister Fang…” The two little ones thought Lin Luoxi was really jealous, so they quickly comforted her.

"Ha, at such a young age, he's already mastered such smooth flattery." Standing to the side, Lin Wenqian couldn't bear to look at this clown.

"Big brother, if you had Second Sister's abilities, we'd definitely flatter you too." Seeing Lin Wenqian's unconvinced look, Lin Wentao directly poked at Lin Wenqian's heart and lungs.

"Alright, it seems I'm not good enough for you guys to flatter me. I'll just go back to reading."

Unable to refute Lin Wentao's sharp tongue, Lin Wenqian could only channel his grief and anger into motivation, pulling Xie Hanchuan back to his room to read.

"You two shouldn't discourage our eldest brother too much. If you really break him down, who will take the imperial examinations and bring honor to our family?"

Lin Luoxi wanted Lin Wenqian to take the imperial examination and return as a scholar, so that she could be exempt from taxes on all the land she bought.

"It's alright, my brother is like a cockroach, the more setbacks he gets, the stronger he becomes. Maybe we'll toughen him up and he'll even become the top scholar in the imperial examination." Lin Wentao waved his hand dismissively, showing he knew Lin Wenqian very well.

"You said it yourself. If you discourage your older brother and he doesn't want to study anymore, then you'd better work hard..." Lin Luoxi found Lin Wentao's precocious manner amusing.

"It's alright, Second Sister. In the future, although I may not be able to make you the top scholar in the civil service exam, I should be able to make you the top scholar in the martial arts exam." Lin Wentao sensed that he still preferred wielding weapons.

Moreover, he had already asked his great-grandfather, and he knew that the martial arts champion could go to the military camp to earn military merits and still be the strongest support for his older and younger sisters.

"It's good to have this ambition, but even though you want to become the top martial arts champion, you still need to study. Otherwise, even if you are given a martial arts manual, it will be useless if you don't know the words on it. Go and study now."
