If I could barely maintain my composure before, this time I really couldn't stand it anymore.
It smells so good!!
They ate with gusto, completely disregarding their image, their mouths greasy and their appetites growing more and more addicted, feeling that their lives had been worthwhile.
Every bite is an ultimate tease for the taste buds; it's truly amazing.
"Waaaaah... Manager Zhiyin, do you need a housekeeper? Do you think I can be one? As long as I can eat such delicious food every day, that's enough."
Butler Xiao couldn't help but shed tears while eating, looking at her with his clear eyes and asking sincerely.
Zhiyin immediately raised an eyebrow with a laugh, "So you just abandoned your young master Xiao like that?"
…
That afternoon, at the invitation of the village head, Zhiyin went to help the villagers conduct an on-site investigation to determine whether the previous rice-plus model plan was feasible.
Is there anything that's not done correctly?
Based on his knowledge, Zhiyin shared his insights, helping the villagers to better utilize the farmland and maximize its effectiveness.
Grandpa Huang went along as well, and it has to be said that he was really in very good health. During these few days, he was carefree and like an ordinary old man, spending his time chatting happily with the villagers except for eating and practicing martial arts.
He quickly became friends with the villagers, so now every villager who passes by greets him warmly.
Not only that, every afternoon after Zhihua went to her private school, he would personally teach her various knowledge for the imperial examination.
He explained to her all sorts of ways of dealing with people and situations, and how to be an official, etc.
He was indeed very knowledgeable and insightful, far surpassing the teachers in the village's private school.
Under his tutelage, Zhihua's academic performance and knowledge have visibly increased day by day.
And every day he would cheerfully test Zhihua's painting skills, telling him all sorts of strange tales and insights...
Of course, he truly shared everything he knew with her, and Zhihua grew at an extremely rapid pace that was visible to the naked eye.
…
After finishing everything, Zhiyin happily knocked on her second brother's door again, "Second brother, what are you doing now?"
"I haven't been doing anything for now, just farming at home, and in the mornings I help my wife sell glutinous rice by pushing a cart."
The second brother warmly invited his confidante into the house and asked her to sit down before answering.
"How about you become my housekeeper, second brother?"
"Zhiyin asked with a smile."
"housekeeper?"
The second brother became curious, looking completely bewildered.
"Here's the thing, my chili pepper factory, including the chickens, ducks, and geese I raise, will need to be delivered to the county on a regular basis. I'd like you to help me take charge of the factory and the livestock."
"Of course, if the factory needs more workers, you can help recruit them, and I'll pay you wages every month!"
"My mother will feed the chickens, ducks and geese for now, but if we go to other places to develop in the future, we may have to trouble my second brother."
Zhiyin poured out all her thoughts in one breath.
After all, someone always needs to contact the other shopkeepers, and the chili factory has now been expanded.
It's not just about making chili products, but also pickled radishes, sauerkraut, various starches, etc., so we need someone specifically to deliver all these things.
Perhaps they will also contact other people who want to buy chili powder.
The second brother was undoubtedly a very good manager.
Moreover, in Zhiyin's eyes, her second brother was an excellent person and very trustworthy; she felt at ease entrusting him to her.
Upon hearing that it was such good news, the second brother was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, don't worry, Yinyin, I've got your back!!"
…
The two then talked late into the night about the management of the factory, discussing it for a long time before finally taking their leave.
The next day, Zhiyin kept drawing barbecue grills and meticulously wrote down the marinating methods, chili oil preparation methods, and sauce preparation methods, etc.
After finishing everything, she took the tools she had used to make cakes and milk tea, as well as the potato shreds pancakes she had made for the journey, and together with Huang Laozi, she followed Butler Xiao on their journey to the provincial capital.
"Sister, Grandpa Huang, Master Ziyou, please be careful. I will stay with Mom."
Zhihua watched the three of them leave with reluctance, feeling very melancholy. She wanted to go with them, but unfortunately, she couldn't leave.
"Yes, Yinyin, bring a couple more clothes. It wouldn't be good if you got cold and caught a chill."
As the saying goes, "A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles," and Yao Yulin felt just like that at this moment. Looking at Zhiyin and the three old men, her heart ached.
She looked at Old Huang pleadingly, "Old Huang, please take good care of our Yinyin along the way. Although she is usually carefree, she is still just a girl."
"Hahaha, don't worry, Xiao Yao. Yinyin is my precious granddaughter. I will definitely take good care of her."
Old Huang laughed heartily and patted Yao Yulin's shoulder before affectionately pinching Zhihua's cheek. "My good granddaughter, Zhihua, I'll bring you something nice when you come back!"
At this point, he put on a serious face again, "But even though Grandpa's gone on a long trip, you'd better finish the task I assigned you!"
"When Grandpa comes back, he'll test you!!"
"If you can't answer, I might spank you!"
Old Huang raised his eyebrows, feigning sternness.
Zhihua blinked her big, wet eyes and nodded obediently, "Okay, Grandpa, don't worry, hehe, I definitely won't let you have a chance to hit me."
Her voice was clear and melodious, as pleasant as a bell, and everyone was inevitably captivated by it.
