The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 130 Encountering Oil Paper

"Boss, what are you thinking about? Tell me where this little girl's home is!"

Seeing that the shopkeeper was in a daze and didn't answer, the man in white tapped him on the head with his folding fan and said.

"Boss, Miss Lin's family is from Linshan Village!"

The shopkeeper felt a pain on his forehead, came to his senses, and quickly answered respectfully.

"Linshan Village, OK, prepare some gifts for me, I will visit in the next two days..."

As he was speaking, a guard suddenly flashed in and interrupted him.

"Master, I have something important to report!"

After the guard finished speaking, he leaned over to the man in white and whispered, "General Cao's men..."

His voice became quieter and quieter. After the man in white heard it, his eyes sparkled with a fascinating light. He looked up and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I have to go back to the capital for something urgent. I need to run the restaurant well! Oh, by the way, fill a basket with the crabs I brought for the little girl!"

After saying that, without waiting for the shopkeeper's reply, he jumped out of the window and flew away, with the guard following closely behind him!

The two of them jumped a few times on the roof and disappeared!

"Sister, why did you take so long?"

When Lin Xi returned to the second floor, Lin An, who was looking at the stairs, caught a glimpse of her. He trotted up to Lin Xi, hugged her arm and asked.

"I taught the chef of this restaurant to cook a few dishes and negotiated a business deal with the owner. It took some time. Are you impatient?"

Lin Xi touched his head and said with a smile.

Lin An nodded and pulled Lin Xi to sit down at the table.

"Sister, come and eat the crabs. We specially reserved two for you. They are so delicious!"

When Lin Ping saw Lin Xi coming, he hurriedly pushed the plate with two crabs in front of her.

"Xi'er, this crab is very delicious, come and try it!"

Cao looked at Lin Xi gently and said.

Lin Dayong took a crab and opened it with a few clicks. He pushed the opened crab in front of Lin Xi, motioned her to eat it quickly with a smile, and took another one for her to open!

Lin Xi happily finished eating the two crabs in a short while. She wiped her mouth and said with satisfaction: "It's really delicious, but it's just shells and there's not enough meat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper came over with a basket and a smile on his face.

"Brother Lin, these are the crabs our boss asked us to give to Miss Lin. They are still alive. Take them back and eat them while they are fresh!"

After saying that, he turned to Lin Xi and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, our host is looking forward to eating the dishes made by Miss Lin. When he comes back next time, I wonder if he will have the honor to try other dishes made by Miss Lin?"

"No problem, when your boss comes back, I will cook a delicious meal myself!"

Lin Xi responded readily.

"That's great! Our boss will definitely be very happy. He loves to eat all kinds of delicious food!"

They chatted with the shopkeeper for a few more words, then went downstairs to pay the bill and walked towards the backyard of Huichun Hall.

"Xi'er, what kind of business are you discussing with Fulin Restaurant? Are you selling chili peppers to them?"

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Dayong finally couldn't hold it in any longer. Thinking of the new things his daughter had talked about with the shopkeeper, he opened his mouth and asked.

"Dad, you are so smart. I taught the restaurant chef how to make a few dishes with chili peppers, and then signed a contract with them to sell chili peppers!"

Lin Xi looked at Lin Dayong and praised him.

"Xi'er, the peppers are not growing anymore, and the ones stored at home are almost gone. What can we use to supply Fulin Restaurant? Are we ordering peppers to be delivered starting next year?"

Cao asked in confusion.

Before Lin Xi could answer, Lin An, who was holding Xiao Bai, winked at Cao mischievously and said, "Mom, have you forgotten what new treasure your sister got?"

Cao then remembered her daughter's boundary bead, inside which plants could grow, bloom and bear fruit quickly.

When Lin An saw that his mother looked as if she had suddenly realized something, he knew that she had remembered her sister's treasure.

"Sister, I feel like I've been in a dream these days! My body has gotten better so quickly, and I don't have to worry about food and drink every day. I train and work with my friends, and I feel so comfortable! Today, Sister Daya and the others also said that it was like a dream. Some time ago, they were still worried about being hungry, but now not only can they have enough food, but they have also learned a lot of skills, and they even have pocket money to go around the county town!"

Lin Xi looked at Xiao An'er's satisfied face, smiled and tapped his forehead and said, "Don't worry, it's not a dream. Our lives will definitely get better and better!"

"Sister once said, 'When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken.' Sister, let's help uncle and his men. Only when they win the battle can Daxia be stable. Only when Daxia is stable can we live our carefree lives in peace!"

Lin Xi looked at his sensible brother and nodded with satisfaction: "Xiao An'er, let's work hard to make more pills and send them to uncle. In this way, the soldiers will become stronger and stronger, and it will be easier to win the battle!"

Lin An nodded hurriedly, indicating that he would work hard to collect herbs and make medicine!

"Hey? There's an umbrella store in front. My umbrella is broken. I'll go buy two!"

Cao, who was listening to Lin Xi's sister and brother talking, saw a lot of umbrellas hanging in front of the shop. She quickened her pace and went into the shop to pick out an umbrella.

Lin Dayong looked towards the blacksmith shop, and after instructing Lin Xi and his two siblings to accompany Cao, he went into the blacksmith shop to buy a hunting knife. The hunting knives at home had some holes in them, so he had to buy a few new ones, as Lin Xi and his two siblings would also need them!

Lin Xi and the other two stood at the door of the umbrella shop, chatting and laughing, waiting for their mother to buy an umbrella!

"Ah! You, what can I say about you? You bought so much oil paper just to save money, how can we use it all? Now, there is little rain this year, and business is bad. You have spent all the money on oil paper, and the shop can't even make ends meet!"

"Oh, Dad, please don't blame me. I bought this oil paper because it was cheap and of good quality, and I wanted to save some money for the shop!"

When Lin Xi heard the voice, he looked up and saw an old man and a middle-aged man driving a horse-drawn carriage to the door of the shop!

The old man stopped the carriage and shouted to the middle-aged man, "Hurry up and unload these oil papers. I'll go find my colleague and see if he needs any. I'll take as much as I can!"

Lin Xi glanced at the large rolls of oil paper on the carriage and his eyes widened in surprise. Isn't this similar to the oil paper on the greenhouse in his previous life?

Thinking of the greenhouse, Lin Xi's eyes lit up. When winter comes and it snows, the mountains will be blocked by heavy snow. The villagers won't be able to go into the mountains to hunt, and they, the kids, won't be able to go into the mountains to collect herbs. In winter, they will have nothing to do except training. She can lead the villagers to build greenhouses to grow peppers!
