Chapter 244 - 244 244 Post(3)_1
?Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Post(3)_1 Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Post(3)_1 Lin Ziyin quietly observed for a while before picking out ten individuals, and those selected were all filled with joy.
With a faint smile, Lin Ziyin personally sat down and began demonstrating silently.
She first sieved out some impurities, then separated the underdeveloped seeds with a winnowing fan, after which sorting was done with long strips. Her hand movements were incredibly quick, and in a short while, a small sack of seeds had been accumulated in the bag hanging under the long table.
“So fast.” someone exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Ziyin then started instructing everyone on how to score chestnuts and peel peanuts. The tools were very useful, and these people quickly grasped how to use them.
Only a dozen people were left in the shop for sorting work, and then a group of men were brought in.
Lin Ziyin had a few men stoke the firewood, and the roasting machine started running.
She asked Cui Minghui and Li Chunmei to enter the feed room and work on preparing ingredients with her.
The first batch in the roasting machine was peanuts. Si Jinhan had been observing her from behind the whole time; of course, he couldn’t enter the feed room. He was just surprised that Lin Ziyin could concoct so many flavors with just peanuts.
In just one afternoon, from peeling shells, to preparing ingredients, to roasting, not much was actually produced. Besides, this was only the experimental stage; Lin Ziyin only made salt and pepper, ginger sugar, fish skin peanuts, and numbing spicy flavors.
“These are great appetizers.” Master Hui Zhen praised her non-stop when he came back that night.
“I really have no idea how your brain works?” Si Jinhan fixed his gaze on her.
“I’m just a little obsessed with food.” Feeling his persistent gaze, Lin Ziyin casually responded, “By the way, Third Prince, there is something else I need your help with.”
“What is it? Let me hear it.” Si Jinhan was rather curious about her matters recently.
“I need various colors of parchment paper. I don’t know if you could help me find some, Third Prince. Of course, if you happen to own a parchment paper factory, I can give you some insider information that would ensure your future prosperity.” Lin Ziyin said with a tempting smile.
Finding oil paper and parchment paper was certainly hard. It would not be good if she had to rely on Si Jinhan every time. Since Lin Family would be using numerous sheets of oil paper and parchment paper in the future.
“As it turns out, the prince does have such a shop.” Si Jinhan smiled and replied, “You’re awfully lucky.”
“I need packaging, can I design some simple machines and have you sort it out in your shop?” Lin Ziyin suggested after some thought.
“You are too cunning, again you’re calculating around His Highness and me?” Si Jinhan saw through her, “You even want to save on some labor?”
“No.” Lin Ziyin immediately denied, in fact, that’s exactly what she was thinking.
“You’ve yet to respond about the roast duck situation. You can’t leave me hanging.” Si Jinhan before all else was concerned about his own interests.
“Don’t worry, we don’t have a store yet, right?” Lin Ziyin said with a beaming smile.
“Are you planning to let me open another shop for you?” Si Jinhan asked coldly mocking.
“Why not? If the rent is reasonable, I’m willing to rent.” Lin Ziyin replied smilingly, “The earlier the store opens, the sooner you start receiving profits, right, Third Prince?”
Si Jinhan was astonished, for this business transaction, was he too impatient and thus was trapped by this clever girl?
“Okay, I won’t chat with you anymore. I do have a shop in Feng City. When the time comes, if it suits you, you can rent it. Don’t worry, I don’t care about that bit of silver. I won’t ask for high rent.” Si Jinhan declared grumpily.
