Zhiyin picked it up and weighed it in her hand. "This weight, I estimate it must be about 10 taels, right?"
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Brother Lin really hit the nail on the head!"
Zhiyin smacked his lips excitedly and happily before putting down the gold ingot and opening another small box.
The moment it was opened, a jade ring and a colorful bracelet with purple, white, green, red and yellow hues immediately came into view.
The bracelet looked dazzling and radiant under the moonlight.
"This is so beautiful! And it's multicolored! It must be worth a fortune!"
Zhiyin picked up the bracelet and examined it under the moonlight, becoming increasingly alarmed with each look.
I always felt this thing was very expensive.
While feeling touched, I couldn't help but wonder how I could repay them.
After all, they gave us so much!
Zhiyin admired it for a while, then carefully put it away along with the bracelet that Mu Lin's mother had given her that morning, and closed the box.
"It's a pity I'm not used to carrying these things, but it's nice to look at them!"
Zhiyin smiled gently, then happily carried the small box back to her room.
What she didn't know was that the bracelets and rings Xing Luxi gave away were indeed quite expensive.
That should be considered a family heirloom.
"I wonder if Yinyin will like that gift?"
Xing Luxi tossed and turned in her bed, unable to sleep, with dark circles under her beautiful eyes.
While secretly delighted, she also felt a little guilty, after all, that bracelet held special significance...
…
The next morning, Chen Qi and Wang Fang prepared the dishes in advance.
Wang Dachuan took advantage of the time while buying groceries to bring the so-called little beggar back to his dormitory.
After meeting his soulmate, he took her to bathe and change into clean clothes.
"Boss, could you keep an eye on things for a bit while I go help out at the shop?"
"Alright, go ahead!"
Zhiyin waved his hand and let him leave on his own.
In no time, the little beggar, who was originally dirty and smelly, with messy hair and patched clothes, came out wearing new clothes and looked brand new.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Zhiyin was taken aback. "You're a girl?"
I initially thought it was a boy, since her face was all dirty and I couldn't tell what she looked like at all.
Of course, upon learning that it was a girl, Zhiyin's heartache deepened even more.
I also realized that she was probably protecting herself before, otherwise...
"Mmm~"
The girl looked at her clean clothes, her eyes filled with nervousness. She nodded shyly and somewhat introvertedly, but her voice still couldn't hide her excitement.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle Da Chuan should have told you about the benefits and working hours, right?"
"From now on, this will be your home. Work hard, and you won't go hungry."
The girl's eyes sparkled, and she nodded obediently, "Okay, thank you, boss!"
Seeing that she seemed embarrassed, Zhiyin chatted with her for a while and then told her to go next door to find Wang Dachuan and work for him.
…
In the afternoon, Zhiyin drove a mule cart to take Yao Yulin and Zhihua home.
Because it was a newly opened store, and she was worried that Wang Dachuan and his colleagues wouldn't understand many things, she was still busy at the store every day.
It wasn't until about three or four days later, after everyone had fully adapted and the business was still thriving every day, that she prepared to go home.
"Xiao Jiu, from now on, keep a portion of the net profit earned each day after deducting costs for reserve, and deposit the rest into the bank after closing the store!"
"Okay! Don't worry, boss! With me here, there won't be any problems."
Xiao Jiu patted his chest and assured him.
"Okay, Uncle Da Chuan, I'll be leaving the shop to you from now on. I'll be here about once a week. This is my home address. If anyone wants to discuss a collaboration or anything that comes up, just come to me!"
Zhiyin looked at Wang Dachuan's serious instructions, then suddenly remembered that they could send a letter by carrier pigeon.
And since she happened to understand animal language, she added, "If anything happens, I might send you a message by pigeon. In case of an emergency, you can also write to me directly!"
"Okay, don't worry, boss! We've got everything covered, don't fret."
Wang Dachuan also solemnly assured him.
"good!"
After saying goodbye to everyone, Zhiyin left the dry pot restaurant, pondered a certain thought, and began to wander around the county town.
Before long, they saw the man who sold donkey rolls and his wife beside him.
"Brother, sister-in-law, how's business? Is it good?"
Zhiyin greeted the two of them with a smile and enthusiasm.
"Oh, Yinyin, thanks to you, you did a great job."
Brother Donkey Roll raised his head with a radiant face. The moment he saw that it was a kindred spirit, his voice was full of joy and excitement, clearly indicating that business was booming.
"I've heard that Yinyin's dry pot restaurant is doing very well. I often hear diners talking about it. I must try it if I have the chance."
His wife was also packing things for the guests, laughing and teasing them as she did so.
"Haha, come on over, I'll give you a discount later."
Zhiyin chatted with them with a smile.
"By the way, Yinyin, do you have any spiced chili powder left?"
"If you have any, I'd like to buy some from you!"
"I really don't have time to make it fresh, and it's too pungent. It's easy for children to choke on it if they're not careful. I have children and elderly people at home, so I really can't make it myself."
Brother Donkey Rolling seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked again.
Without hesitation, Zhiyin nodded decisively, "Yes!"
Since I bought too many chilies last time, I made a lot of them.
"I'll bring it to you next time if you need it!"
"Okay, okay, that's great! Thank you so much, sis! We were worried we wouldn't have any more chili-flavored potato chips!"
Zhiyin suddenly realized that she probably still needed to open a factory to specialize in chili products.
To avoid running out of pickled chili peppers, and since any store we open in the future will definitely need chili peppers.
If we don't open a factory, it won't be enough at all!
Perfect, if we open a factory, we can sell all kinds of chili products separately.
Moreover, there are so many women in the village who have no opportunity to earn money, so we can hire them as helpers.
After figuring everything out, Zhiyin went to the entrance of Qingchuan Academy to see how her second sister-in-law was doing with her glutinous rice.
Unfortunately, she didn't see it. Zhiyin glanced at the sky and figured that she must have sold out and gone home long ago.
After thinking for a while, he spent 250 coins to buy a pound of brown sugar and a pound of white sugar. He also bought some sweet potatoes, cassava, pumpkins, taro, and black tea at the grain shop. He then drove his mule cart home with his load full.
"Oh, Second Sister-in-law, is that you?"
Halfway there, seeing a familiar figure pushing a small cart back ahead, Zhiyin quickly shouted.
The small cart was naturally the food cart that Zhiyin used to sell boiled fish and the like, but after it stopped doing breakfast business, it was given to his second sister-in-law.
"Oh...it's Yinyin! What brings you home?"
The second sister-in-law was clearly pleasantly surprised and immediately stopped the constantly bumping food cart.
"Oh right, I haven't had a chance to wish Yinyin a happy opening yet!"
