Agricultural examination: making money, taking exams, and supporting the family

Chapter 37

After helping Zheng He and his wife organize the wedding banquet, Lin Ze and his wife continued their life of selling bread at a stall in the morning and going home to read and study in the afternoon.

The business of the dessert stall is very good now. If you delay for one day, you will lose a lot. If Zheng Xiaoluo and He Xiangfeng were not married, Zhang Ke would not be idle. He sent away Li Guangcai and his son that day, and immediately took Lin Ze in the evening to prepare for the business the next day.

Seeing Zhang excitedly doing business, Lin Ze couldn't stop his wife's enthusiasm and could only follow the work, but his wife obeyed.

Although they were tired, the couple didn't complain at all. The business had just started, and they couldn't help but relax now. They would save enough money to open a regular shop in the town later.

Although they seem to have made a lot of money recently, they have also spent a lot of money.

Ingredients such as flour, eggs, and milk are all good. For the sake of future branding, Lin Ze is determined not to use defective products to make up for the shortage, so it makes sense that his products are expensive.

There are also packaging boxes, oil paper, etc. Although they are all small things, they can add up to a lot.

The most important thing is sugar. Desserts are originally made of 'burnt sugar'. The honey brought back from the mountains was not enough. Lin Ze had bought all the honey from He Xiangfeng, but it still couldn't last long.

Therefore, Lin Ze has made an agreement with He Xiangfeng to buy all the honey that He Xiangfeng retrieved from the mountains until he finds a more affordable and high-quality sugar substitute for honey. Anyway, the He family has many men, and they mainly make hunting income and often go to the mountains.

After calculating the cost bills one by one, Lin Ze's savings are actually only a few dozen taels, which is not enough to open a shop in the town.

In this way, when Li Guangcai came to visit, Lin Zecai had to think about it.

"... Then my husband, I'm afraid you will become a stinker in the eyes of scholars in the future, and no students with status and reputation will date you."

Zhang was not stupid, so he was a little worried when he heard Lin Ze's plan.

"If you don't have contact, you don't have contact. I don't rely on them to take the imperial examination, and I don't want to deal with those stubborn people. Besides, we are really short of money now. Although our business is good, we can use the purchase restriction strategy, and the manpower is also low. There are only two of us, and it will take us many years to save enough money to open a shop..."

Lin Ze was also helpless. He hadn't worried about money in a long time. Every time he thought about the savings and real estate books in the bank that he had not yet had time to enjoy, his heart bleeds.

Looking at Zhang, who had just gained some weight and lost weight, he felt even more distressed. In order for his wife to live a good life quickly, face was not a concern at all.

"Where have you lost weight? Xiao Luo only told me yesterday that he had gained weight when he saw me."

Zhang liked Lin Ze's gentle eyes and the way he always took every little thing to heart. He said this, but his heart felt extremely sweet and joyful, and his face turned red.

Lin Ze liked his obedient and shy appearance very much. As long as there was no one around, he would hold his wife in his arms and enjoy the indescribable sense of satisfaction.
