Chapter 164 There are sheep and cows
The Zhang family members stopped at the door.
Wan Jia? Master Chef? Cooperation?
Lin Ye looked at Lu Qingqing in surprise.
Lu Qingqing nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's a collaboration. Madam Wan has hired a master craftsman from the city at a high price to train you."
You don't need to sign any contract; we just hope that after you've completed your studies, you'll join forces with her and achieve mutual success.
Lin Ye looked at Madam Wan in disbelief.
"Madam Wan trusts me so much? I'm just a novice embroiderer who's just learning to walk."
“I have seen your embroidery. You have a very high talent. The embroiderer I hired is not the best, but I believe you can quickly learn from her techniques, master them, and create outstanding works.”
Madam Wan thought that if they knew a skilled embroidery master, Lin Ye's talent would surely lead to success, and he might even become famous.
Unfortunately, they were just ordinary people; those powerful figures only served the royal family.
Take it slow, Lin Ye is still so young, he has a long way to go!
She felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't help but cough.
Mingqiu immediately helped her up: "Madam, we've already spoken to Miss Lin, let's go back now."
"Alright, Miss Lin Ye, if you agree, go to the shop at the far west end of East Street tomorrow. We'll be going now."
"Please take care, Madam Wan," Lin Ye said quickly.
Madam Wan nodded to Lu Qingqing, and Mingqiu helped her, carrying the medicine she had just gotten from Lu Qingqing, as they slowly walked out of the crowd.
"Lin Ye is really amazing." Lu Yun gave her a thumbs up in admiration.
Lin Ye was taken aback, then said embarrassedly, "It's Madam Wan who thinks too highly of me."
She herself didn't know if it would work.
What if I disappoint them?
Lin Zhuang was very proud and grinned like a fool.
Now that every household has hired Xiao Ye as their head chef, those rumors will surely dissipate.
"Wow, Lin Ye is amazing! She's the master chef of the Wan family!" Liu Erzhu exclaimed.
The young man next to him immediately shouted, "Sister Lin Ye, what I just said is true. My mother has already prepared the betrothal gifts. Will you marry me?"
My younger sister isn't engaged either. If you marry her, I can offer her to your brother in return, making our family even closer!
Lin Ye: "..."
Lin Zhuang: "..."
Lu Yun: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Zhang Shulin glared fiercely at Zhang Yingniang.
You've ruined such a perfectly good wedding!
"I...how would I know..."
How much money does the master chef at Wanjia earn in a year?
I heard it's worth a hundred taels!
Being forced to apologize just now wasn't as heart-wrenching as this!
After all, this involves real and tangible interests!
Zhang Yingniang was shameless. She turned around and shouted, "Lin Zhuang, it was your aunt's fault. Yingzi doesn't know anything. She likes you very much. Why don't we call off the engagement?"
This family is really...
What I got in return was a group of people looking at me with disdain.
Lin Zhuang said, "If I'm resigning, then I'm resigning. We weren't meant to be."
Zhang Shulin's face flushed red and then pale with embarrassment as he roughly dragged his wife away.
That's settled.
Lin Zhuang thanked everyone happily.
I'm saying I'll host a feast tomorrow and invite everyone to dinner.
This was the first time Lin Zhuang had ever hosted a banquet! Everyone cheered.
Such a big event definitely deserves to be celebrated; it's even more joyful than getting married!
The Lin siblings have completely turned their lives around!
Uncle Lin, who had been squeezed into a corner, squeezed to the front again.
"Lin Ye, now that you've become the head chef of the Wan family, you should think about the sisters of the main family and bring as many as you can into the Wan family."
Lin Ye's curved eyes turned cold.
"We have no relatives, they're all dead!"
She knew why the old man had helped the outsider earlier; it was because after she became a Wan family embroiderer, he wanted her to bring her granddaughter along, but she refused.
Unexpectedly, he's even more shameless than the Zhang family, pulling this stunt again!
Lu Yun picked at his ear and shouted, "What? Old Lin is going to help pay for the banquet?"
"When will I..."
Liu Erzhu: "I remember Uncle Lin raised a flock of geese. Were they going to stew them for us?"
Old Man Lin: "Don't you dare lay a finger on my geese!"
The young men exclaimed, "Oh, Uncle Lin said he's going to slaughter his pig!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go help!"
A group of people were about to rush out, which frightened Old Man Lin so much that he hurriedly ran outside.
Two legs plus crutches, three legs are just faster!
Laughter filled the courtyard.
After laughing, Lu Qingqing asked Liu Erzhu:
"Brother Erzhu, how many people in your mutual aid group are idle?"
Liu Erzhu sighed and scratched his head: "It's hard to find long-term jobs. Most people do odd jobs. Today I'm free, tomorrow someone else is free. There are twenty or thirty people at home every day."
“That’s perfect. I’m planning to build a workshop, entirely enclosed by blue brick walls, about an acre in size, divided into two sections…”
“I think that big, deep ditch not far from the river is a good spot. You can take some people to fill in the ditch, and then start construction. You decide how many people to hire, and the daily wage is 40 coins.”
Liu Erzhu was overjoyed!
There's work to be done without leaving the village, and it pays five more coins than odd jobs outside!
"Did you hear that? Can you all do this job?" he asked the group of young men.
"able!"
"Of course!"
"That's amazing!"
"Dr. Qingqing, what kind of workshop are you planning to build? Or are you going to work on herbal medicine? Will you need a lot of people? My little sister is capable of doing that..."
"My future wife will be capable too..."
"My mom can do it too!"
"My grandma can do it too!"
...
Lu Qingqing and Lu Yun fled Lin Ye's house with their heads buzzing.
Just then, I saw a group of villagers who had just returned from town by donkey cart, chatting away about something.
As soon as Aunt Ding saw Lu Qingqing, she greeted her from afar.
"Qingqing, something big has happened in town again!"
"A lot of police officers came and arrested twenty or thirty petty thugs!"
All of Bai Erhu's men were captured without exception.
"Furthermore, those police officers even went out into the street to talk about all the bad things these thugs had done, and that they were spreading rumors about respectable women. Wasn't that referring to Lin Ye?"
"That's great! The government has cleared Lin Ye's name, so no one will dare to talk nonsense anymore!"
"Our county magistrate is really great!"
Lu Qingqing nodded.
That's good.
The aunties then talked about a girl who was harassed by some thugs in town and went home and killed herself by hitting her head against a wall.
As he was speaking, his tone suddenly changed: "Hey, who's herding a flock of sheep here?"
Who has so many sheep?
"Joke, and there's also a cow!"
Cattle are an important commodity, and the village has only a dozen or so. Each one is registered with the government and has a cattle register.
In the eyes of the villagers, seeing a cow is no different from seeing a Mercedes-Benz.
But then three Mercedes-Benz cars suddenly appeared!
That's incredible!
Lu Yun squinted and looked at him: "That cowherd looks so familiar."
Of course it looks familiar!
Fu Leng!
A young man wearing a veiled hat jumped off a carriage that had come with a herd of cattle and sheep.
The villagers all know now.
The one wearing this hat is the magistrate's son!
Xu Rui arrived quickly.
"Qingqing, we've got a few sheep. Do you want to take two home? Fresh sheep milk is good for your health, and it'll be great for Uncle Lu."
