The waiter nodded first, then shook his head and said, "I don't know where our boss gets the ice from, but I know that his relative's butcher shop is very profitable. It's likely that the ice in our butcher shop comes from his relative. But I can ask the boss for you."
Lin Xiaotang immediately smiled and thanked her, "That's wonderful, thank you for your help."
"Oh, you're too kind. You have business dealings with my boss, so I'll just run an errand and drive the carriage to deliver it to you. It'll be a leisurely trip, and I can even catch my breath. Asking around for help is no big deal."
If it weren't for the delivery by horse-drawn carriage, he would have been constantly busy and exhausted in the butcher shop. Taking advantage of the time he spent driving the carriage, he was able to relax quite a bit.
Liu Cai'er ran back to the backyard and called out Lin Qingchuan, Shui Sheng, and the others who were busy by the well. They unloaded a whole cart full of pig trotters into the yard.
Everyone counted the money together. Lin Xiaotang silently calculated the amount in her mind, went back to her room, took out the silver, handed it to the butcher, and saw him out.
Lin Qingchuan couldn't help but sigh, "This horse must be exhausted from carrying so many pig trotters. It needs to rest before we go back. Why don't you stay at the shop and have some tea before heading back later?"
The waiter waved his hand and refused, "No need. I had the horse stop several times along the way, otherwise we wouldn't have set off so late after lunch. I have to get back before dark, or the boss will be angry."
"In that case, we won't keep you here for tea."
Granny Xiangqin felt that the young man was about the same age as her son and that driving the carriage back and forth must be very tiring. She handed him a bowl of cool tea and said, "Young man, you must be thirsty after running all this way. Drink this tea before you go. It's already cool, so it won't burn your mouth."
The waiter was suddenly deeply moved. His eyes reddened, and he immediately picked up the bowl and drank it in large gulps to hide his unease.
His parents died early, and he lived with his uncle since childhood. His life was hard to describe. Now he works as a butcher's assistant, and he has to give his wages to his uncle's family every month. He only has a little bit of spare money, and he can't even think about getting married.
He never expected that someone would care about him, just like the mother in his dreams.
After finishing his tea, he wiped his mouth and handed the bowl to Aunt Xiangqin, saying, "Thank you for the tea, Auntie. I'll be going now."
After thanking everyone, the man turned and got into the carriage, waved to everyone, and drove the carriage towards Tong County.
After seeing off the butcher, the group closed the door of the pig's trotter shop and went back to clean up the raw pig's trotters in the yard.
First, a portion was sent to the ice cellar of Wanhe Restaurant, and after the rest was cleaned up, everyone went back to their respective rooms to catch up on sleep.
As darkness fell, everyone gradually got up, made dinner, and after eating, they took turns braising pig's trotters.
Shen Qianchuan was also preparing the ingredients needed for the next day.
After a busy month, the pig's trotter shop made a lot of money. After Lin Xiaotang finished calculating the accounts, she quietly told her father, and the two of them were overjoyed and excited.
Lin Qingchuan said, "Xiao Tang, we can make over a hundred taels of silver a month by supplying the restaurant, and the pig's trotter shop can make two or three hundred taels. After deducting wages and costs, we can split the restaurant's profits 50/50 with Manager Su, and we'll get quite a share. We're really going to get rich this time."
"Of course! You can't go wrong with listening to me, right?"
Lin Qingchuan reached out and pinched his daughter's nose, his eyes full of admiration. "That's right. It's all thanks to your mother and me listening to you that our family has come out to do business and is now doing what we have today. In my opinion, you are a lucky star sent by God to lead everyone to a good life."
Unexpectedly, her father thought she was a gift from God and never doubted that it was strange for her to know so much at such a young age.
The trust her parents and everyone placed in her gave her immense peace of mind and fueled her even greater motivation to lead everyone to prosperity.
She laughed and said, "Dad, it's not as exaggerated as you say. God is a god who has to take care of millions of people in the world. How can he possibly manage them all? He doesn't have time to arrange for a clever and quick-witted daughter to lead everyone to a good life. It all depends on everyone's diligence and ability. And I just happened to come up with a good idea. Don't you think so?"
Hey, it's his daughter who's so well-behaved and sensible. She's the one who brought good fortune to everyone, using her intelligence and wit to make everyone live a good life, yet she's humble and doesn't take credit.
There are many hardworking and capable people in Guihua Village alone. There are very few lazy and irresponsible people. Most of them are hardworking and capable, working in the fields from dawn to dusk every day. It is hard to find many families that are well-off.
Therefore, it's not enough to just be hardworking and capable if you want to get rich!
He reached out and ruffled his daughter's hair, his eyes filled with affection. "You are so sensible at such a young age, it breaks my heart. It's all my fault for not being as smart as you. You have to worry about everything and make all the decisions. From now on, you will be in charge of all the big and small things in our family. No matter what, I will support you."
Lin Xiaotang smiled, her eyes crinkling, and deliberately asked, "Dad, if Mom gives birth to a younger brother for me this time, will I still be in charge of things at home?"
Lin Qingchuan said without hesitation, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, all the money in our family was earned by you and your father. A large part of the family property belongs to you. You can decide how to divide it from now on. As long as you don't agree, no one can go before you."
Good heavens, these words actually came from my father's mouth! In this backward ancient times, in an ordinary family with little education, these words were incredibly valuable!
She was truly surprised that her father had this awareness!
"Father, you..."
For a moment, she didn't know what to say to her father. She couldn't very well praise him for not favoring boys over girls, could she?
Lin Qingchuan smiled and said, "Silly girl, you're so young, yet you work so hard. Your parents have seen it all. Even your Uncle Shuisheng and Fourth Uncle said that you only made this business so big because you lost money. If your parents give the family property to your younger siblings in the future, and they are neglected while you are left behind, would your parents still be human?"
Meeting such wonderful parents is truly a blessing she has accumulated over several lifetimes.
They were all farmers in a poor and backward mountain village. The grandfather, stepmother, and maternal grandparents all favored boys over girls, and even showed favoritism towards their own sons. The parents grew up in such an environment, and as the least favored child, they developed different ideas.
Because her parents were kind and had suffered oppression for many years, she was reborn as their daughter. It was as if it were preordained that she, a person with modern ideas, would pull them out of the mire and onto a broad road.
Gathering her thoughts, she smiled slightly and said, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely make sure everyone lives a good life. In the future, we'll buy several houses. You and Mother will have one, Xiaoyu and I will each have one, and we'll buy another one for the baby in Mother's belly. We'll also buy our own houses for Uncle Shuisheng and Fourth Uncle. If Aunt doesn't want to get married, she can also buy a house and open a separate household for women. Oh, and Ninth Brother too..."
"Xiao Tang, you're still young, don't think so far ahead, it's exhausting. Let's just enjoy the present."
