Chapter 114 Shop Account Book
Ye Mingzhu turned around in surprise and saw Lin Dongjia standing next to the carriage waving at her.
"Sister Lin, are you here to pick me up?" Ye Mingzhu thought about it and felt that it was impossible. Their return time was delayed, so how could Mr. Lin know that they were coming back today?
Lin Dongjia was wearing going-out clothes, his face looked a little haggard, but his smile was gentle: "I didn't expect to meet Sister Ye here. I have something to do in the prefecture city, and I forgot to take something. I'll wait here for a while."
Ye Mingzhu looked at the maid and the driver following the carriage and said with some worry: "Sister Lin, it's not that close to the city, are you three going alone?"
Lin Dongjia smiled and said, "I'm not a big shot, it's okay."
The maid next to her looked up, as if to refute, but was glared at by Lin Dongjia, and then lowered her head again.
Ye Mingzhu couldn't guess the reason, but she was worried that Lin Dongjia was serious. She stepped forward and took Lin Dongjia's arm: "Sister Lin, it's getting late now. If you leave now, you still have to find a place to stay. Why don't you leave tomorrow morning?"
Lin Dongjia shook his head, and Ye Mingzhu continued, "I brought something for my sister this time. Would you like to go and take a look?"
The maidservant next to her also advised: "Madam, why don't you leave tomorrow?"
Lin Dongjia's expression relaxed slightly, and Ye Mingzhu asked, "Sister Lin, is there something urgent going on this time?"
Lin Dongjia shook his head: "I'm not really in a hurry."
"That's it. Let's go to the shop first. I remembered to draw pictures when I went out this time. Sister Lin must praise me."
Ye Mingzhu winked at Jiang Hongyu, and helped Lin Dongjia get into the carriage. The maids beside them had joy on their faces and immediately followed.
When Lin Dongjia came back, everyone in the shop was surprised. When they saw Ye Mingzhu next to them, they quickly invited the two of them into the compartment.
Then someone served hot tea and snacks, and then left one after another.
Ye Mingzhu took out the snacks made by Aunt Mo and the brown sugar made by Wu Yue and gave them to Mr. Lin.
"Sister Lin, these are all rough things. I hope you don't mind them."
They came back directly from Zhuangzi, and all the packaging was made of oil paper, which looked a bit rough.
Lin Dongjia picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth without any disdain, then nodded and smiled: "It tastes good."
Ye Mingzhu took a look at the snack she took, which was a date paste pastry.
Desserts should be sweet, but Mr. Lin’s expression was a little bitter.
Ye Mingzhu reluctantly took the snack from her hand: "Sister Lin, if you don't want to eat it, don't eat it."
Lin Dongjia gave a bitter smile, put down the snack in his hand, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "My sister's efforts to bring it back were wasted."
"Sister, that's too far-fetched. I bought a small farm this time. These were made by the people on the farm. If you're interested, I'll take you there."
Lin Dong's family was well-off and owned several farms. She had several servants who could make snacks, so she had no shortage of snacks.
"Sister, take a look at this. This is from my farm. What do you think of its quality?"
Ye Mingzhu opened the oil paper package of brown sugar again, revealing the dark red brown sugar inside.
Lin Dongjia took a quick look and became interested: "Is this brown sugar?"
Although she didn't drink much, she knew that many people used brown sugar as a tonic. They would eat brown sugar when they were injured or gave birth.
"My sister's farm can actually make brown sugar." Mr. Lin praised.
Sugar is not cheap nowadays and it is almost a highly profitable industry. If Ye Mingzhu's farm can produce sugar, her future income will not be low.
Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "Sister, you have always taken good care of me. I thought that I could do the brown sugar business. I wonder if you are interested?"
Mr. Lin was really surprised. This was just giving money to others for free.
Ye Mingzhu looked at her and smiled. She picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea: "Sister Lin, are you going to ask me why I want to sell such a profitable business?"
Lin Dongjia stared at her with a burning gaze, then smiled after a while: "How can you, a little girl, be so cunning?"
Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything, just smiled.
It’s not that she is generous, it’s that her status is not enough, and she doesn’t want to take care of too many things, it’s tiring!
She was just a little girl from a fishing village, and her husband was an exile.
If the couple had money and a shop, who knows how much trouble would happen in the future?
Others may not know where Zhuangzi is, but the shop is open to the public and is open for business, so everyone will ask about the owner.
Although Lin Dongjia only has one shop in the town, her family also has shops in the county and the provincial capital, so there will definitely be no problem in cooperating with her.
Ye Mingzhu likes drawing but doesn’t like business, so she leaves professional matters to professionals.
She is in charge of production and Lin Dongjia is in charge of sales. There is nothing wrong with the two of them working together to make money.
After listening to her, Lin Dongjia pointed his finger at her forehead and said, "You little girl."
"I like drawing and my sister likes doing business. Isn't this the best of both worlds?" Ye Mingzhu's exaggerated tone made Lin Dongjia laugh.
"How do you know I like business?"
"Sister Lin's eyes light up every time she talks about business." Ye Mingzhu pointed to her eyes.
When they first met, she discovered that Mr. Lin really liked doing business. At that time, she thought that Mr. Lin's family was not well-off, so he opened such a jewelry store.
But later they bought corals without blinking an eye, and after a few more contacts, she realized that the Lin family was both rich and noble, but they were hiding in such a small town for some reason.
The smile on Lin Dongjia's face froze for a moment, then he showed a bitter smile, and then slowly turned into a bright smile.
"Okay, once I've taken care of the family affairs, we'll open a dessert shop together."
If I open a shop, it definitely won't work if I only sell brown sugar. Coincidentally, both of us love brown sugar, so opening a shop selling desserts and snacks is just right.
Ye Mingzhu didn't know what she said touched Lin Dongjia, but seeing her complexion improve, her mood also improved a lot.
"Sister, you said you drew some new pictures, right? Show them to your sister." Lin Dongjia stretched out his hand to her directly.
Ye Mingzhu smiled and took out a few pictures. Lin Dongjia took them and pouted: "Why are there only three?"
"My sister, I've only been away for a few days. It's good enough to have three pictures. I'm really your painter now." Ye Mingzhu said this. Seeing that Lin Dongjia's mood was better, she felt relieved.
Although the initial contact with Lin Dongjia was for profit, after spending so much time together, the two of them developed feelings for each other.
"Okay, which painter earns more than you?" Lin Dongjia handed the account book that Dongmei had just brought in to Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu took it, turned to the last page, and then raised her head: "..."
