Chapter 222 Refusal to Deregister
When Lin Dongjia saw the basket, he was stunned for a moment: "Is there fish in it?"
"Oh, my sister, I know you are pregnant, and I can still give you a fish. This is what you want." Ye Mingzhu said mysteriously.
Lin Dongjia was a little confused. She couldn't remember what she wanted.
Ye Mingzhu didn't keep the secret any longer and directly took out the tortoise shell from the basket.
Lin Dongjia's reaction was surprisingly the same as Aunt Jiang's: "Mingzhu, did you hire someone to kill him?"
She said the last two words with some difficulty.
"Oh, sister, do you think I have that kind of temper? To be honest, I found this hawksbill turtle in the sea. I thought it was a turtle shell, so I brought it back to show my mother. Unexpectedly, my mother recognized it as a hawksbill turtle at first sight. I remember you wanted a hawksbill turtle before, so I sent you a message."
Ye Mingzhu's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood, making it difficult to guess.
Lin Dongjia couldn't wait to touch the hawksbill turtle shell, his face full of surprise: "This shell is so complete, it looks like it fell off by itself."
"But, can hawksbill turtles shed their shells?" Lin Dongjia is also a book lover, but she has never heard of this.
Ye Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly changed the subject: "Sister, how many pieces of jewelry can be made from these two tortoise shells?"
Lin Dongjia's eyes lit up: "With so much tortoise shell, I can definitely make several sets of jewelry."
"I'll entrust these two tortoise shells to you, sister. But I have a request. I want the craftsman in the shop to make a hairpin like this." Ye Mingzhu took out the hairpin she had drawn yesterday.
Lin Dongjia frowned slightly: "Sister, this hairpin seems to be a style from many years ago?"
"To be honest, my mother had a tortoise shell hairpin like this, but it was lost accidentally. I got these two tortoise shells and wanted to make a similar hairpin for her," said Ye Mingzhu.
"That's not a problem. I'll go talk to the master in person tomorrow." Mrs. Lin asked the maid to put the drawings away, and then touched the two tortoise shells.
"Sister, if you really like it, why don't you take it home and play with it today, and then return it to the shop tomorrow." Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that Mr. Lin actually liked tortoise shells.
"Hawk shells, corals, and pearls are all precious jewelry, and they're not cheap. I've seen a lot of pearls and corals, but this is the first time I've seen a complete tortoise shell. This large tortoise shell can definitely be made into a lot of jewelry. Let's send it directly to the capital to sell, and it's sure to fetch a good price."
"It would be best to make another set of exquisite jewelry and send it to the capital. I heard there's a place in the capital where everything is sold through auction. If we sell tortoise shell jewelry there, the price can be multiplied several times."
The light in Lin Dongjia's eyes became brighter.
When Ye Mingzhu heard what Mr. Lin said, she was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
She thought that Mr. Lin liked tortoise shell jewelry, but she didn't expect that he liked the money that tortoise shell jewelry brought him more.
How could she forget that Mrs. Lin was not an ordinary noble lady, and her favorite thing was to do business.
Lin Dongjia was a little confused by her smile: "Could it be that I am wrong?"
Ye Mingzhu finally stopped laughing; "Yes, Sister Lin is right. With Sister Lin, I don't have to worry about making money anymore."
Lin Dongjia said calmly: "That's right, just wait for the dividends."
Ye Mingzhu's smile, which she had finally suppressed, appeared again. Mr. Lin was really interesting.
"Sister, I have something else I want to discuss with you." Lin Dongjia's face was a little embarrassed. "I tried the dim sum made by Aunt Mo, it was very delicious. I want to open a dim sum shop in the capital city. I wonder if you are willing to give it to me?"
During the days that Ye Mingzhu was back, she occasionally came to the Jiang family for meals. She didn't expect that Aunt Mo's cooking skills were so good, and the snacks she made were so delicious that people couldn't stop eating.
She tentatively talked to Aunt Jiang once, but Aunt Jiang directly refused. She observed that Aunt Jiang and Aunt Mo did not get along like master and servant, so she told Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that the Lin family would actually be interested in Aunt Jiang's cooking skills. She smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Lin, Aunt Mo is a distant relative of ours. And to be honest, Aunt Mo opened a pastry shop in the county town, so I'm afraid she can't go to the provincial capital."
"Has the shop already opened?" Lin Dongjia was not worried but happy: "That's good news. When the time comes, I'll open a shop in the capital and call it the same name as yours."
"Ask Aunt Jiang if she's willing to go to the provincial capital. She can teach a few apprentices and hand over the shop in the county town to them."
Ye Mingzhu hesitated: "I want to ask Aunt Mo and see what she says."
"Okay, then you can discuss it with Aunt Mo. Just tell her that I have a shop in the city, and she can just make snacks there. I'll find someone to help her out, and I'll make sure she doesn't get too tired. We can discuss the profits."
Lin Dongjia looked sincere.
"Okay, I'll tell Aunt Mo later." Ye Mingzhu felt that Aunt Mo would not agree, but she still wanted to ask.
Mr. Lin left contentedly with a box of snacks made by Aunt Mo, and then Ye Mingzhu went to ask Aunt Mo.
As soon as Aunt Mo heard about going to the prefectural capital, she started shaking her head: "Mingzhu, your Uncle Mo and the two children are still waiting for me in the county town, so I won't go to the prefectural capital. I'll be content to open a small shop in the county town."
This result was the same as Ye Mingzhu had guessed, so she was not disappointed. She just nodded and said that she would tell Lin Dongjia tomorrow.
"Mingzhu, did Boss Lin ask me to teach a few apprentices?" Aunt Mo was very happy to see that Ye Mingzhu did not force her, and began to think about what Boss Lin said.
"Yes, Sister Lin said that you should train a few apprentices to work in the shops in the county town, and you can go directly to the provincial capital to work." Ye Mingzhu understood what Aunt Mo meant halfway through: "You want to train a few apprentices and let them open shops in the provincial capital?"
Aunt Mo nodded: "I have to go back and ask Old Mo, some of the dessert recipes are from the Mo family."
Ye Mingzhu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Uncle Yan to take you back to the farm in a few days. You can ask Uncle Mo. Sister Lin is generous. If she opens a shop in the capital, she will not treat you unfairly."
"Mingzhu, even if you open a shop in the capital, that is your business and Mr. Lin's. I am your servant now." Aunt Mo reminded Ye Mingzhu.
Aunt Jiang was about to speak, but Ye Mingzhu stopped her, still smiling: "Aunt Mo, no matter what, you are Brother Yu's wet nurse. We will not treat you unfairly because of the share of the profits from opening the shop."
"Xia Zhi, I'll ask Brother Yu to cancel your slave status." Aunt Jiang couldn't wait to speak.
"No need. Our family is living well on the farm now. Mingzhu doesn't treat me as a slave, so it doesn't matter whether my slave status is abolished or not." Aunt Mo refused directly.
