The Lin family's shop on Jinbao Street is getting bigger and bigger.
The Lin family was quite busy in the morning. Even the lazy Lin Weiming had to attend court, so he got up and left early. Liu Junlan and Xue Fu, always diligent, took advantage of the time to go to the morning market to buy the cheapest and freshest vegetables.
As for the four Lin brothers, apart from Lin Ziqiu, who was still fast asleep under the guise of health preservation, the other three got up early in the morning. Lin Zhongyuan is now a Hanlin Academician, and although he is not qualified to attend court like Lin Weiming, he still has to report to the Hanlin Academy to perform his duties. Lin Zheyun has also developed the habit of going to the martial arts training ground early in the morning to practice his kung fu.
Lin Zihan officially took over the Lin family rice shop business more than half a year ago. The old managers helped him keep an eye on things, but the main business was still handed over to Lin Zihan.
Therefore, he had to go to the rice shop early in the morning to inspect it, fearing that his subordinates would deceive him.
When Lin Wanyue woke up, she found that no one was home. She guessed that her family thought she would sleep until noon as usual.
She didn't want to eat the porridge cooked at home, so she went to Jinbao Street and waited in line to buy some roasted sweet potato noodles.
The number of people queuing outside this shop is ridiculously high.
Lin Wanyue yawned slightly, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Why are there still so many people so late?"
The older woman in front of her in line, who had just finished chatting with someone else, chimed in, "That's right! We always have to wait in line when we come here. We've suggested to them a long time ago that they open a few branches elsewhere. It's because my child loves roasted sweet potato noodles and wants to eat them every morning. It's exhausting to have to wait in line every day."
Others said, "There are other shops selling roasted sweet potato noodles. If your child likes them, why not buy them from another shop?"
“How can that be the same? This shop is the first in the entire capital to sell roasted sweet potato noodles! Eating here is the only way to get the authentic taste. Other shops are just using the name, how can they be the same?” The aunt didn’t think so. “If you think they are the same, then go buy from somewhere else. Just don’t come here and try to steal my food.”
The people next to him laughed and said, "It's like the taste is the same, but the price is different! In the whole capital, there really is only one place that sells delicious and cheap roasted sweet potato noodles and rice balls."
There aren't that many truly high-quality, low-priced items in the world; if you can have just one of those, you're already making enough money.
They then began discussing why the Lin family's shop could sell its products at such low prices, yet they were also clean and delicious.
They didn't know, but Lin Wanyue did.
Previously, the ingredients for making roasted sweet potato noodles were taken from her villa, so she basically had no capital investment. Later, after moving to Beijing, in order to avoid attracting attention, she bought some ingredients from the market, but this saved on labor costs and she still made a profit.
She's not home now, but the Lin family is no longer short of money. Moreover, Lin Zihan has taken over the rice shop business. Naturally, the rice shop will have some loss of old and broken rice when it buys rice, which it sells to the Lin family shop at a very low price.
This further reduces costs. Moreover, the location is excellent, and many people know the shop's reputation, so there's a queue all day long. Even if the prices are low, they can still achieve high sales volume with small profits.
Even if other places sell the same thing, you can't buy broken rice this cheap. You can't make a profit by selling more at a lower price.
Therefore, even though some people envied the Lin family's business and tried to do the same, they couldn't steal their customers and could only remain envious.
Lin Wanyue queued for almost half an hour before finally managing to buy a "family portrait" roasted sweet potato skin.
She ate roasted sweet potato noodles as she went to the rice shop to see her third brother.
Lin Zihan, the third brother, was so young that he held a pen in one hand and an account book in the other, recording all sorts of things in the shop.
The rice shop owner and several old shopkeepers who helped Lin Zihan were following behind, all standing respectfully behind him.
Lin Wanyue looked at her third brother's small shoulders, which seemed to bear a thousand pounds of weight, and couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Zihan frowned, looked over there and saw Lin Wanyue. He unconsciously smiled and winked at her.
Please wait a moment.
Lin Wanyue gave her a look in return, indicating that she understood.
The two communicated tacitly with their eyes. Lin Zihan continued to work faster, while Lin Wanyue found a small stool, sat down, and ate something.
Recalling her surprise yesterday that her third brother was already working at such a young age, Lin Weiming didn't seem to care much. He said that the rice shop business would eventually be handed over to Lin Zihan anyway, so it wouldn't make much difference if it was a couple of days earlier or later.
Moreover, the sooner Lin Zihan gets involved in business, the more he will think in that direction.
Moreover, even the Regent agreed to the matter, believing that letting Lin Zihan gain experience early on, while studying now, might lead to great things in the future.
As for the possibility that the rice shop might lose money under Lin Zihan's management?
Lin Weiming didn't even think about it. After all, there were still so many managers and employees working in the rice shop. Even if something went wrong, how big of a mistake could it be?
If anyone were to plot against Lin Zihan, there would be a regent, always watching over the region.
Lin Wanyue thought it made sense, so she came to see her third brother early in the morning.
However, after she finished eating what she was holding, seeing that her third brother was still busy, she couldn't help but sigh again.
Hu Jiuyuan floated over and said, "Wanwan, you're practically an immortal now, why are you still sighing all the time?"
"I'm worried about Third Brother." Lin Wanyue turned to look at Lin Zihan, who was working.
Thinking back to the days when they could happily dig in the mud and fish by the pond, those joyful times seem to be gone forever.
She is still happy every day, but her third brother is not much older than her, so he has to work hard every day.
Somewhat like the corporate slaves of later generations.
Hu Jiuyuan was even more puzzled: "What is there for him to worry about? He's perfectly fine, isn't he?"
The shop assistants and manager were all loyal and none of them dared to provoke the Regent.
“I’m worried that Third Brother is too tired and might not grow tall,” Lin Wanyue said with utmost seriousness.
Lin Zihan is still young and at the age when he is growing. Wouldn't working so hard affect his development?
Hu Jiuyuan immediately patted his chest and said, "Wanwan, you're overthinking it. With me watching over you, how could I let your third brother not grow tall? Don't worry, I guarantee that your third and fourth brothers will grow to the same height. Although it's impossible for them to be as gifted as the second brother, they definitely won't be short."
The health of the Lin family is now being overseen by Hu Jiuyuan and Lin Ziqiu, so there's no need to worry at all.
