Chapter 172 Lin Luoxi's house begins construction
"Miss Lin, are you planning to sell us the recipe for mushroom sauce?" Manager Xu looked at Lin Luoxi, calculating in his mind how much money would be appropriate.
"No, Manager Xu, I'm not bragging, but even if I sold you the recipe for mushroom sauce, you might not be able to make it taste the same." Because Lin Luoxi had a trump card, she dared to make such a confident guarantee.
"Impossible. Our head chef was poached from the capital by my young master at great expense. What kind of recipe could he possibly make?" Manager Xu was confident in this.
"Hmph, well then, since you don't believe me, and considering we're acquaintances, I'll tell you the method. Go back and have your chef try it out. If he can't make it, then come back to me to discuss cooperation."
"Good!" Manager Xu also felt that Lin Luoxi was a bit like a frog in a well, thinking that just because she had some skills, her creations were unmatched.
Today he's going to show Lin Luoxi that there are always people more capable than you.
Lin Luoxi saw the fleeting expression on Manager Xu's face, smiled, and told Manager Xu how to make the mushroom sauce without reservation.
She even kindly gave the mushrooms she had picked to Manager Xu.
Zhao Minghui stood aside watching Lin Luoxi and Manager Xu make a bet, and shook his head and smiled.
He was certain that Manager Xu would come back to find this girl again, because he felt that Lin Luoxi had the ability to do so.
When he came here today and met Lin Luoxi, he also had this dismissive attitude, but in the end, he was completely convinced.
If it weren't for the darkness, he would have loved to start building right away based on Lin Luoxi's design, eager to see just how beautiful the house would be once built from such a perfect design.
Lin Luoxi saw off the last group of people, and the villagers who had worked during the day came to collect their wages.
After finishing all the tasks, Lin Luoxi and her family sat together, looking forward to what the new house would look like in a while.
After everyone shared their thoughts, they all laughed, realizing that now that life is better, their expectations have increased.
They didn't go back to their rooms to rest until they talked about the high moonlight, since they had a lot to do the next day.
The next day————
When Lin Luoxi and the others returned from training in the back mountain, Zhao Minghui had already brought his men over.
"Master Zhao, so early???" Lin Luoxi was quite shocked to see more than ten carriages parked in front of the door.
I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be so efficient; he came so early in the morning.
"Well, it's getting late. Just thinking about your blueprint makes me want to build the house right away..." Zhao Minghui was a straightforward person and didn't hide his thoughts at all.
"Master Zhao, you've come so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet. It's not too late to have breakfast first." Lin Luoxi looked at the misty sky; it wasn't even dawn yet.
“Okay, we’ve been thinking about today’s meal ever since we had dinner at your house last night, so we came over early this morning to freeload…” This was one of the reasons why Zhao Minghui came so early.
"Hehe, I'm glad you like it." The situation at home is different now than before, so Lin Luoxi is naturally not worried that feeding so many people will bankrupt the family.
"Miss Lin, since so many of us are eating here, you can deduct the wages from our meals when it's time to settle accounts." Zhao Minghui knew that Lin Luoxi and her group were from the countryside and might have difficulties, so he naturally wanted to discuss these issues in advance.
"It's alright, Master Zhao, it's just a meal. You can eat as much as you want..." In order to get these chefs to help her wholeheartedly, Lin Luoxi felt that eating was a small matter.
"Miss Lin is so straightforward." The masters who came with her smiled much more sincerely when they heard Lin Luoxi's words.
After breakfast, the two villagers who were working also arrived.
Because there were many people and the land reclamation was nearing its end, Lin Luoxi decided to put the reclamation work aside for the time being and first build the wall around the wasteland surrounding her home.
In order to speed things up, Lin Luoxi asked Lin Yangshi to invite more people over.
All the young laborers in the village were invited to work at Lin Luoxi's house, and with the team brought by Zhao Minghui, the area around Lin Luoxi's house was bustling with activity all day long.
The Lin family —
"Sleep, sleep, sleep! All you do all day is sleep! Don't you ever think about making some money?" Old Mrs. Lin's cursing voice rang out from outside the window.
"Hey, Da Guang, wake up, your mother is scolding you." Lin Xiao Wu said impatiently, looking at Lin Da Guang, who was snoring loudly beside her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We won't make me work. We're definitely talking about you. Besides, I'm covered in injuries. Where am I supposed to work?" Lin Daguang, who had been woken up, scolded Lin Xiaowu impatiently.
"That certainly wasn't referring to me. No family would want a woman like me." Ever since Lin Xiaowu went back to her parents' home and listened to her brothers and sisters-in-law's opinions, she ignored the sullen words of Lin Laowu.
She treats the man beside her like a dead person, no longer opening her heart to him.
"Hey, you lazy woman, why haven't you done a single chore since you came back from your parents' house? My mother called you back so you could serve me, but what have you done? You've been sleeping all this time, haven't you?"
Lin Daguang noticed that Lin Xiaowu had changed; she had become lazy and assertive.
"Lin Daguang, let me tell you, don't push your luck. Since you did that kind of thing with that woman, don't expect me to serve you for the rest of your life." Hearing Lin Daguang's words, Lin Xiaowu seemed to be provoked and jumped up from the bed, pointing at Lin Daguang and cursing.
"Hey, I'm telling you, you're trying to defy the heavens, aren't you? You want me to divorce you and send you home, don't you?" The fig leaf was once again taken away by the person next to him. Kai Lin Daguang was furious and embarrassed, and struggled to get up from the bed, glaring down at Lin Xiaowu.
"Go ahead and divorce me, if you dare! You're a piece of trash, a rotten cucumber, your affair has been spread like wildfire. I wonder what woman would want to marry you..."
With her older brother and sister-in-law, and her parents backing her up, Lin Xiaowu was not afraid of Lin Daguang in front of her. Even if his eyes were blazing with fire, she was not afraid.
"Stop arguing! Arguing first thing in the morning! If you two have nothing better to do, get out there and get to work and earn money!"
After arguing in the courtyard for a long time without seeing Lin Xiaowu come out to make breakfast, they went closer and listened. It turned out that Lin Xiaowu was arguing with her son.
Old Mrs. Lin couldn't stand it. If anyone said anything bad about her son, she would immediately rush in and point her finger at Little Mrs. Lin's nose.
