Chapter 8: Made a Name for Himself
hat of County Clerk, it is a civilian post and does not directly command the fast battalion on a daily basis.He and Zhao Deyi, one literature and one martial arts, assisted the magistrate. The two did...All of them were married to him by signed marriage certificates.
Wedding chamber, justified.
There are still so many people here. If he really had no shame, wouldn't he... in front of everyone
To think that Li Yuxiang would be so humiliated is just unbearable.
Her heart was pounding like a drum as she stood at the door, pretending to gaze at the moon.
"Is your sister still awake"
Xiao Jiu kindly reminds her.
"Good!"
Li Yuxiang lightly bit her teeth, forcing out this single word.
As Li Yuyao turned around, she saw that everyone else's faces, just like hers, were filled with awkward expressions.
"My lord, which sister will you be sharing the bed with tonight"
The alluring Fourth Sister pulled Yang Lin's arm and asked with a flirtatious smile.
A pair of eyes fell on Yang Lin.
Under the lamplight, one after another beautiful figures, made his heart surge with emotion.
"Ahem!"
"After a long day, aren't you tired Go to sleep."
"Little Seven, Little Eight, and Little Nine sleep in the bed, the rest of you sleep with me on the straw mats."
Yang Lin said, and without taking off his clothes, he lay down directly.
A mat of straw was spread on the ground, with a thick layer of dry hay underneath. Though not exactly comfortable, it was at least warm enough.
He isn't a saint who shuns women, but the problem is, his family is too poor, and they only have this one room!
Committing adultery in front of the other wives
Is that something a person would do
Yang Lin is not that shameless yet.
A house! Looks like I need to hurry up and build it!
...when the conditions are right, I'll visit each of these beautiful wives individually…
Seeing Yang Lin's embarrassed appearance, having not even taken off his clothes, he lay down. Li Yunyao finally let out a sigh of relief.
However, most of the women were a bit shy, even lying down they avoided Yang Lin's side.
Only Si Mei was there, her personality unrestrained. Not only did she lie down beside Yang Lin, but she also threw her arms around his arm, a face full of happiness.
"My husband is a good man."
"To have met my husband is my good fortune."
She spoke as if to herself, closing her eyes.
When Li Yuyao was also about to lie down, she discovered that only Yang Lin was by her side in that spot.
"Sister, why are you still not sleeping There's room here."
Xiao Jiu pointed at the only remaining spot, snuffed out the oil lamp, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.
"Good!"
Li Yuxi again gritted her teeth.
Thank you!
In the darkness, she could only reach Yang Lin's side.
Li Yuyao calmed her nervous feelings, intending to keep a distance from Yang Lin. However, with so many people crammed on the straw mat, the moment she lay down, her body pressed tightly against his, instantly making her cheeks flush red.
Yang Lin felt the warmth on his left arm, and the softness of Li Yuyao's body on his right. He suddenly felt dry-mouthed.
It was so crowded that Yang Lin unconsciously raised his arm and rested it on Li Y Yao's shoulder.
Li Yuxiang was startled and was about to push him away, but she found that Yang Lin had already fallen asleep……
The next morning, Jianghe County.
Zhao Ji sent someone to the county town to sell 200 pieces of tofu at a price of five cash per piece. They sold out in an instant, leaving Zhao Ji beaming with joy and unable to contain his smile.
The purchasing power in the county town is indeed beyond what villagers can compare.
Two hundred pieces of tofu, and with a turn of his hand, he made four hundred wen! Thinking about this massive profit, Zhao Ji hurried back to find Yang Lin to sign a long-term supply agreement.
He only needs to collect and sell goods every day, earning four hundred texts a day, ten thousand two hundred texts a month, and over a hundred guan a year, which is the income of over a thousand mu of fertile land.
And Yang Lin, that boy, worked himself to the bone, only to make a meager profit for himself.
Hmph, a poor scholar, who knows anything about doing business
Just as Zhao Ji was beaming with delight, thinking about how to squeeze Yang Lin dry and maximize his own profits, someone found him.
"I am Xu Maochai, the shopkeeper of Yongxing Trading Company."
The newcomer was a middle-aged man in a blue linen robe, who bowed slightly to Zhao Ji.
"What are you doing"
Zhao Ji eyed the other person warily.
"Well, Mr. Xu saw that you were selling tofu and found it very interesting. He would like to have a chat with you about it."
Xu Maochai beamed.
"There's nothing to talk about, all the tofu is sold out. Come back tomorrow if you want to buy some."
After he finished speaking, Zhao Ji turned and left.
He could hear that the other party wanted to go into business with him making tofu and share in the profits.
Just kidding, I also buy from others, right
It's not a hassle to sell it yourself in the county, why go through a middleman and give others a cut
The moment Zhao Ji turned to leave, the smile on Xu Liang's face immediately vanished, leaving only a greedy and sinister glint in his eyes.
"Follow him and find out what's going on with this tofu!"
Xu Liangcai ordered his subordinates.
"Yes!"
His subordinates immediately followed suit.
……
It was on this very day at noon that the tofu Village Chief Zhao Fuguì had sent to his relatives in the county town also made a grand appearance at the banquet, stunning everyone present!
Especially when Zhao Fugui boasted that it was food passed down from the immortals, it received even greater praise. For a time, everyone was talking about the magical properties of tofu.
Having been noticed by prominent figures in the county town, Zhao Fugui gained face and was praised by the county magistrate's relative. He was also assured of continued support for his position as village head of Kào shān Village.
Zhao Fuguang was overjoyed, and the stone in his heart finally fell.
However, trouble came knocking after the banquet ended.
Everyone crowded around him, wanting to buy tofu from him in large quantities.
Without further ado, everyone handed over their deposits to him; he didn't even have a chance to refuse.
Facing these prominent figures in the county, Zhao Fuguai dared not offend them.
I had no choice but to agree, gritting my teeth. I planned to go back and beg Yang Lin, asking him to find a way to do more to satisfy these bigwigs...
Even Zhao Fuguai understands that these people asking him to buy tofu, are they really just hungry
Of course not!
They saw the business opportunity here.
The county town is full of shrewd people. Faced with this suddenly appeared novel food, they all smelled the scent of making money...
In Koushan Village, Yang Lin and the women had another day of white rice and braised pork.
Many villagers who saw it were both envious and greedy.
There are indeed fewer people buying tofu in the village.
However, Yang Lin had anticipated this, so he didn't sell much in the village today.
The two nearby villages had never seen tofu before. It sold easily; in just half a day, all the tofu was sold out.
And at this very moment, Yang Lin, who had been working hard all day, was unaware that his reputation for tofu, as if by some supernatural force, had already spread!
And a batch of orders, quite a large sum, is already on its way!
In the evening, after soaking the beans, everyone gathered on a straw mat, excitedly counting money with Little Jiu.
"One thousand two hundred and ninety-eight"
“1,299……”However, they didn't notice that Yang Lin had already slipped away from the back.Not far away, at the edge of a small grove of trees, Yang Lin sat on a large stone, gazing at the emerald green forest...
