Lin Wanwan nodded, and finally looked at the scarred man, "Uncle, what's your name?"
The scarred man stared at her coldly for a while, then turned his eyes away from her and uttered two words: "Lin Jiu."
Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes at him. What's so great about that? He just knows a little Kung Fu, but he acts like he's so great.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Shuyun and Er Niang will follow me to help in the shop. Sixth Uncle and Aunt Qiu will go to manage the farmland. Uh, you little ones will go to school with my brother. As for Uncle Jiu, well, let's leave it like this for now."
Lin Jiu:?
"You stay here for a while, and I'll bring your things back later."
After arranging them, Lin Wanwan drove the donkey cart to send Wang Ergui back first. She found a remote and deserted place, went to the space to move some rice and flour, packed them in sacks, a large basket of eggs, vegetables and meat, two sacks of cotton, went to the cloth shop to buy more than a dozen pieces of linen, and bought some bowls and chopsticks, and sent them over.
When they saw the snow-white rice, flour, eggs and meat, they couldn't help but shed tears, and even Lin Jiu was moved.
"Shuyun and Erniang, make the quilts. This is kapok. When you make it, just spread it out evenly. Don't be reluctant to use it. There is also food. You must eat well and take care of your health first. I see there is still some firewood in the woodshed. It is enough for you to burn for the next few days. If you need anything else, please tell me."
Lin Wanwan didn't expect that they all knelt down at the same time.
"Girl, you are such a good host..."
"Woo woo, girl, we will definitely serve you well in the future!"
"Girl, you are so nice!"
Lin Wanwan quickly helped them all up and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to kneel to me anymore? Why are you still kneeling?"
"Girl, there won't be a next time for us!"
"We got it!"
"Okay, hurry up and clean up, boil some hot water for washing, and use the remaining fabric to make some clothes. I have things to do, so I'll come visit you another day."
"Okay, no need to see me off, just pack up, I'm leaving."
Lin Wanwan took the pig's offal and hurried to pick up Sister Yuying.
Sister Yuying had already sold all her porridge and was sitting at the porridge shop waiting for her.
"Wanwan, what were you doing? What took you so long?"
"Sister-in-law, I have something to do. I'll tell you when I get back. Let's go back to the shop first."
When the two returned to the shop, they saw Shen Li sitting there reading a book with a focused expression, and he didn't even hear them come back.
Lin Wanwan walked up to him with a smile and said, "Brother Li, if I asked you to come and see the shop, you wouldn't even know it was empty, hahahaha..."
Only then did Chen Li come out of the book and smiled at her somewhat embarrassedly.
"I'm so sorry, I was so absorbed in watching that I didn't hear you guys come back."
"Well, if you want to read it, wait until you take it home and read it. This is originally for you. You should also combine work and rest when studying."
Shen Li immediately took out his purse and gave her some silver.
"I like this book very much. How much did you pay for it? I'll pay you!"
Lin Wanwan quickly pressed his purse and said, "Brother Li, you don't have to give me money. This book was given to me by the old man in the bookstore. Really, he said no one would like to read it, so he gave it to me. If you like it, just take it. There are many words in it that I don't recognize and can't understand."
"Well, I'll copy a note for you when I get back. This will help you learn to read."
"Well, that's fine too. I'll trouble you, brother Li!"
While they were talking, Shopkeeper Qian also came with some people to deliver things.
"Miss Lin, the plaque has been delivered!"
"Hey, it's really hard work, Shopkeeper Qian!"
"Humph." Shopkeeper Qian glared at her. "Everything you want is ready. Where's my teapot?"
Lin Wanwan immediately took the teapot and presented it with both hands.
"Manager Qian, it's fine, it's not broken!"
Shopkeeper Qian took the teapot and said seriously, "We have found all the craftsmen, and we can go to choose a site tomorrow."
"Okay then, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay, then we'll wait for you in my shop tomorrow."
"good."
After seeing off Shopkeeper Qian, Chen Li and Sister Yuying carried the plaque to the table, while Lin Wanwan hurriedly ground ink for Chen Li.
"Wanwan, have you thought of a name for your shop?"
"I've been thinking about it for several days. How about calling it Baiweiju?"
"Baiweiju..."
Chen Li propped his chin with the brush and thought the name was pretty good.
"Life is full of flavors, each one has his or her own experience, hehe."
"Well, I don't know what's wrong with your little head, but this is a great name!"
"It must be because I'm smart!"
"You little girl!" Sister Yuying nodded her head, "You are always good at taking advantage of others!"
"Oh, sister-in-law, am I not smart?"
"Okay, okay, you're the smartest!"
Chen Li took up the pen and wrote the three big characters "Baiwei Ju" on the plaque. His movements were smooth and seamless, his brushstrokes were gentle and measured, and otherworldly. There was indeed an artistic conception of leaving behind the world's glitz and glamour in order to seek the true taste of the distant.
"Great handwriting! Brother Li, you write so well!"
"Well, as long as you like it."
Chen Li put down his pen and looked at what he had written today. He changed his usual bold and open style today. He recalled what Lin Wan said and wrote from his feelings. It seemed that he had finally found a style that suited him.
Lin Wanwan handed him a bunch of wooden signs and food boxes.
"Brother Li, here's more. Write Baiweiju on these food boxes too. I'll read out the names of the dishes to you later."
Chen Li smiled and shook his head. This girl was quite good at exploiting people. But it was just right. He still wanted to practice calligraphy and get a feel for it.
