ld prostrate himself without hesitation and weep with gratitude, deeply appreciative of this kindness.However, Yang Lin has lived two lives. He has done research, worked in the system, and done busine..."How much is left" Yang Lin asked.

Xiao Jiu has a natural talent for math. Yang Lin let her handle the finances, while he only took care of expenses. These days, Yang Lin has been spending money like water, and he doesn't even know how much he has left.

There's less than ten taels of silver left!

"This meal will cost at least five ounces of silver!"

Xiao Jiu said worriedly.

Like Yang Lin's method of spending money, in a few days they would be hungry again.

When Yang Lin heard the number, he actually let out a sigh of relief.

"It'll do, don't worry, someone will come to bring us money soon."

Xiao Jiu was surprised.

He doesn't know where Yang Lin gets his confidence from.

Is it just relying on this newly invented thousand-sheet thing

Thousands of pieces is indeed good, but the villagers' purchasing power is limited. The money they are making right now is not enough for him to go through all this trouble.

Five ounces of silver would be enough for a poor family to live on for several years, yet Yang Lin ate it all in one meal.

What a waste of money!

In the afternoon, more and more people are coming to learn how to make tofu.

People from the wealthy families of the county town also arrived in Laoshantun village.

Before this, they had all purchased tofu from Yanglin. This time after arriving, they all went directly to Yanglin, hoping that Yanglin could teach them the techniques of making tofu carefully and in detail. For this, they were willing to pay more!

Result, in the blink of an eye, they saw the newly made thousand.

It was shocking all over again.

Thousands of sheets, thin as paper, golden in color, and very resilient. For a time, numerous family managers were all attracted by the thousand sheets.

“Yang Lin, your thousand-zhang technique, would you like to teach it If you do, my Zheng family will pay for it!”

"Oh, oh, oh, what are you Zhengs carrying around We could all be making money together, why must the Zheng family act like the Zhous and go it alone"

"That's right, everyone is here to make money. If anyone wants to eat alone, my Hong family will be the first to disagree!"

Faced with the crowd's enthusiasm, Zheng's manager dared not speak another word.

Although every family that comes wants to eat alone, smart people already understand that the trouble Zhou's family has caused has made the rest of the families very unhappy.

In this situation, if anyone tries to monopolize the thousand-zhang business again, they would be smashing everyone's rice bowls!

For them, whether it's tofu or qianzhang, being in Yang Lin's hands is the most advantageous.

Because Yang Lin has no power, no connections, and no background, they can manipulate him at will. Collaborating with Yang Lin is like having him work for them.

But if it were to be monopolized by other families, that would only be allowing those families to grow bigger, while they themselves wouldn't be able to resist them like they did with Yang Lin.

Therefore, all the clever people present have given up on the idea of going it alone.

At this time, Zhao Fugu rushed over and pulled Yang Lin aside.

"A distinguished guest has arrived from the county town. Come, meet them with me."

Zhao Fuguai spoke in a mysterious tone.

"Huh"

Yang Lin frowned slightly.

To be honest, his career was just starting out, and he was already surrounded by hungry wolves. He didn't want to have anything to do with those aristocrats.

"Oh, that's good news."

"The one who has come, is representing the Zhao family from the county town, and this person is not an ordinary manager, but the head housekeeper of the Zhao family. This time he came especially for you!"

Zhao Fuguang said with envy.

Although he was related to the Zhao family in the county by blood, status decided everything. As a village headman, his standing was far below that of this steward.

Yang Lin helplessly followed, there was no escaping the other party's arrival. He had to go with Zhao Fu貴 and meet them. Before leaving, Yang Lin called Xiao Jiu over and whispered a few words in his ear. Seeing Xiao Jiu nod seriously, he felt reassured.

Following Zhao Fu Gui to his home, Yang Lin met this head housekeeper.

This is a man in his thirties, dressed in silk garments. His face is stern and imposing.

However, Yang Lin did not expect that this steward of Zhao's mansion would not put on any airs. When he saw Yang Lin, he smiled and clasped his hands together.

"This must be Yang Lin, the esteemed brother. My name is Zhao Zhongming."

I am Yang Lin.

Yang Lin also bowed.

Zhao Fu貴 served the two men tea, then tactfully excused himself.

Zhao Zhongming looked at Yang Lin with great interest, a smile on his face.

Yang Lin felt very uncomfortable being looked at by the other party and directly asked, "I wonder what Master Zhao has found me for again"

"Well, I'm just a steward, not to be called Master. If Brother Yang doesn't mind, you can call me Brother Zhao."

Yang Lin was once again secretly surprised.

Isn't he a bit too polite Shouldn't someone from such a large family be a bit more arrogant He's not quite used to it yet.

To be honest, it was my husband who sent me here, for only one thing.

"Tofu!"

Speaking of serious matters, Zhao Zhongming's expression also became serious.

Yang Lin was taken aback.

County Magistrate That's the second highest ranking official in Jianghe County, only below the county governor.

Zhao Zhongming said, "I know the Zhou family threatened you yesterday, forbidding you from making tofu."

"Well, well, the Zhou family is truly out of line. This Jianghe County isn't their playground to rule over."

"The County Magistrate said, "You're talented for being able to make tofu. Our magistrate doesn't want to see a talent like you get suppressed and overlooked, so I was sent here to help you. The Zhao family will be your support!"

Zhao Zhongming's words were spoken with conviction, as if he was truly speaking up for Yang Lin.

Yang Lin almost believed it.

If he were truly a country scholar who had never seen the world, upon hearing these words, he would prostrate himself without hesitation and weep with gratitude, deeply appreciative of this kindness.

However, Yang Lin has lived two lives. He has done research, worked in the system, and done business. He has met all sorts of people and is already a seasoned veteran.

"Oh, my gratitude to the County Magistrate and thanks to Brother Zhao!"

Yang Lin quickly got up and cupped his hands, putting on a look of deep emotion.

Zhao Zhongming stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, saying: "Brother Yang, rest assured, from now on, you just continue to make tofu. All the tofu you make will be bought by my Zhao family!"

"As for the price, just stick to what you sold it for before, three copper coins a piece!"

"With my Zhao family backing you, the Zhou family wouldn't dare to act recklessly!"

Zhao Zhongping patted his chest and looked quite proud.

Yang Lin was startled again.

He didn't expect that although the Zhao family was also playing tricks on him, they were surprisingly sincere and offered a reasonable price.

Of course, Yang Lin wasn't naive enough to think that the Zhao family would really stand up for him if the Zhou family came looking for trouble.

All the bustle and activity in the world is driven by self-interest.

Whether it's the Zhou family or the Zhao family, they are all using themselves.

But some have underlines, while others don't!

Facing the conditions offered by the Zhao family, Yang Lin was truly unable to refuse.

However, Yang Lin still asked, "Zhao brother, I have already imparted the technology of making tofu. Why don't you learn the technology and make it yourselves"

Zhao Zhongming smiled.

He gave a sly smile, like a cunning old fox, and leaned in close to Yang Lin: "Why Brother Yang should be very clear about this!"e ground, trembling and shrinking back, not daring to resist in any way.The bandit was so honest that he left Yang Lin dumbfounded.Originally, he didn't intend to let these bandits live!Now that every...
