The Shit Carrier Village Girl

Chapter 153 Clean the Ground

Lin Yuelan continued, “I mean that in the next three years, I promise not to cooperate with other restaurants and I will just give you my condiments. I also promise to release a new recipe every month.

“Three years later, I might work with another restaurant, or even open my own restaurant. Of course, I will not set up any new partnerships or restaurants in An Ning County or the surrounding districts. So it won't have much impact on Yuelai Inn.”

Liu Qi pondered over Lin Yuelan's words.

That makes sense. The world was so big, and the Yuelai Inn was just a small town in Long Yan Country. No matter how delicious the food was, people from far away would not be able to visit it often.

Even the people from the Qingfeng provincial city would find it difficult to come here to eat, let alone those who were in the capital, where the rich and powerful gathered.

Therefore, three years later, as long as it did not affect the business of the Yuelai Inn, it was Lin Yuelan's freedom to grow her business. Therefore, Liu Qi disagreed with this.

As for why it should be three years later, Liu Qi believed Lin Yuelan wanted to use the Yuelai Inn to make a name for herself first.

After that, he asked another question. “Are you still going to get revenue share after three years?”

Lin Yuelan nodded. “Of course. That's part of the offer.”

The corner of Liu Qi's lips and Zhou Wencai twitched once again. Lin Yuelan openly took advantage of them. He only gave her the recipe, but she wanted to make use of it forever. Liu Qi disagreed with this.

He said, “No. If the Yuelai Inn continues to operate in the next 100 years, doesn't that mean your grandchildren will continue to benefit from revenue sharing? They can just sit back and enjoy free money. That's not fair.” Liu Qi had to plan ahead. He can't agree to this.

Of course, Lin Yuelan would not continue to take advantage of him. Moreover, he would eventually sell soy sauce on the market. But he would make sure of that after his deal with Liu Qi was completed. Or he would feel very sorry for her.

“Of course, you're right. Every transaction must have a deadline. Ten years,” said Lin Yuelan seriously, “I will only work with Yuelai Inn for ten years. After all, I won't be taking a share of the results anymore. Young Master Liu, what do you think?”

Ten years is not a long time, but it is also not short.

However, it was also the most reasonable time limit.

Liu Qi nodded and said, “Alright then.”

Lin Yuelan continued, “But when it comes to business, I think it's better we write it in black and white. Then we can all be at ease, don't you agree, Young Master Liu? ”

This was good for Liu Qi, so he naturally agreed.

After a while, Liu Qi took out a pen and paper. In black and white, he wrote down how to work together, share results, and so on clearly.

After that, the two of them signed their names, and Zhou Wencai became a witness.

…

“Once, the cooperation deal is done?” Guo Bing's mouth was wide open in disbelief.

Guo Bing was a military advisor on the battlefield, but he was a blind strategist in the business world.

He did not understand business politics, but he felt that Lin Yuelan was very good at taking advantage of others.

...However, as soon as he thought about it, Liu Qi also did not lose completely. If a new dish can bring booming business to the Yuelai Inn, then the entire inn will benefit. For example, they would order another dish on the menu that was not part of Lin Yuelan's recipe. Plus, this customer will also be staying at the Yuelan Inn. This advantage had nothing to do with Lin Yuelan. Therefore, it was not because Liu Qi had gained nothing....

“But, how does Miss Lin know so many new recipes?” Guo Bing was a little confused. The recipe he knew of had never been seen in Long Yan Country before.

Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing did not know what to think about Lin Yuelan. On the surface, she looked like a young woman, but she knew too much mysterious knowledge. She was so mysterious that they would not be surprised that she was actually a fairy.

“Ah, forget it. I won't waste any brain power on this.” Guo Bing patted his head, then looked at Jiang Zhennan with bright eyes. He smiled and said to Jiang Zhennan in an effort to please her, “bos, help us tell Miss Lin that we want to eat goldfish soup, boiled goldfish, and so on.”

Jiang Zhennan's sharp eyes glared at him, and he said in a low voice coldly, “Why didn't you tell the lady Yue ‘Er herself?”

With that, he left. He's moving towards the hut.

When he entered the room, Lin Yuelan was counting some silver on the table.

As soon as he saw Jiang Zhennan, he immediately waved at her and said, “Masked garden, how much land do you think I should buy?”

Jiang Zhennan took out a bench, sat down, and said, “According to the laws of land trade in Long Yan Kingdom, one Mu from a high-grade land is fifteen taels of silver, a, the middle-tier land was ten taels of silver, and the low-tier land was five taels of silver. Furthermore, when buying land, you have to pay taxes. The tax is one tael of silver for every Mu of land. Then, you should get the official government stamp before the sale is complete.”

When Lin Yuelan heard this, she lowered her head and placed her chin on the edge of the table. He looked at the silver and said in frustration, “I received 100 taels of silver in advance from the young master of the Yuelai Inn, Liu Qi. How much land can I buy with a hundred taels of silver?”

He planned to buy at least 10 mu of land and then expand further when he had the money.

Jiang Zhennan looked at Lin Yuelan's downcast head and the beautiful expression on her face. His expression under the mask also softened slightly, and his voice unconsciously changed from cold to soft.

Just as he was about to comfort Lin Yuelan, he suddenly thought of something and shouted, “Oh, right. I can get you guys to clear the ground for me. How can I forget it?” Of course, Lin Yuelan had not completely forgotten that. He only reminded Jiang Zhennan of that.

Jiang Zhennan's mouth twitched.

Ever since he met Lin Yuelan, the corner of his mouth twitched a lot. It was because Lin Yuelan would always give them a lot of surprises.

Jiang Zhennan picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of Lin Yuelan. Then, he said, “Nona Yue ‘Er, clearing the ground is a small matter for soldiers like us. Besides fighting, we are most competent in clearing land.”

When they guard the border, there is always a shortage of food. Therefore, they had to clear the land and start their own farm. They got a supply of grain from the imperial palace, but it was never enough.

Lin Yuelan had other concerns. What about the land around them? How will he go around claiming them? Lin Yuelan asked, “How does it work? Do I have to buy land first before I can ask you to clean it for me? ”

Jiang Zhennan shook his head and said, “No need. After the undeveloped land is measured by the village head, the court, the cleared land will belong to the reclaimer.”

Lin Yuelan nodded. In other words, the undeveloped land will belong to the person who developed it. No need to pay taxes or money. Thats perfect.

Instead of buying land, he would save more by developing and cleaning the land itself.

Lin Yuelan immediately clapped her hands and said excitedly, “Yes, let's start tomorrow!”

Thanks to his spirit water, most of the soldiers' wounds had been healed. Because of this, they are strong enough to work. Since they were there, he might as well have them work.

They are soldiers and have great strength. They will clean up undeveloped soil quickly. In a month or two, he would have enough land to start his own farm.

Lin Yuelan immediately held Jiang Zhennan's hand excitedly and said, “ayo go, masked uncle. Let's go and find the Village Chief's Grandfather.” After which, he grabbed Jiang Zhennan's hand and hurriedly walked towards Li Zheng's house.

Guo Bing and the others watched as Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan joined hands. They looked at their backs in wonder.

Guo Bing suddenly asked, “How many times?”

This is a random question, but the subordinates seem to have a tacit understanding and answer, “I think this is the third time.”

They talked about how many times Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan held hands.

When they first met, Lin Yuelan looked like she was only eight years old. Moreover, Lin Yuelan had always called them uncle, so they did not feel anything wrong with this child holding the hand of their boss.

However, when they met again two months later, they found that this child was not at all eight years old but twelve.

Eight and twelve are very different. Girls can be engaged and married at the age of twelve.

Therefore, when they saw Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan back hand in hand last night, they were shocked!

They look like lovers. However, the main character was unaware of it. They returned to join hands. Whatisthis?

Little Six looked at the couple who were about to leave and said anxiously, “Bing Brother, what's with Boss and Miss Lin?” He wanted to say that they looked like lovers. But he couldn't say it publicly because it was related to a girl's reputation and integrity.

A man and a woman who are not husband and wife or lovers are holding hands in public. What kind of image will be given to others? In some of the more conservative villages, the woman would be drowned. She had acted like a shameless and depraved woman.

In fact, the entire Long Yan Kingdom would think that way. Lin Yuelan was the only exception since she came from the future.

Guo Bing's hand hit the back of Little Six's head, and then he said very seriously, “bos and miss Lin are just pure friends, do you understand?” They can't just say whatever they want.

No matter what the reason was, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan held hands. Both are single, but no one seems to want to take the relationship any further. Therefore, they could only become ordinary friends.

In fact, the soldiers realized that their boss had changed a lot since he met Lin Yuelan. In the past, he would not say a word for an entire month, but now he could chat and joke with Lin Yuelan. Although they could not see his face, they swore they could feel the smile behind his mask.

…

Jiang Zhennan's eyes under the mask stared holding hands. As they approached the village, he saw some villagers pointing at them from a distance. He immediately realized what was wrong. He treated Lin Yuelan as a friend, but she was ultimately a woman. He was twelve years old. He has reached the age of marriage.

It was not right for them to hold hands in broad daylight. It would not be good for the reputation of the girl. In the future, how will he get married?

When Jiang Zhennan thought of this, he immediately let go of Lin Yuelan's hand in surprise.

Lin Yuelan was walking in front when Jiang Zhennan suddenly let go of her hand. He stopped in the middle of the road and asked confusedly, “What's wrong?”

Gazing at Lin Yuelan's clear and innocent eyes, Jiang Zhennan's heart was filled with shame and bitterness.

He really liked it when Lin Yuelan held his hand, but he couldn't be so selfish as to hurt her. Therefore, he had to let go of his hand for his own good.

He shook his head and said, “Nothing.”

Lin Yuelan did not think too much about it. He just shrugged his shoulders and continued walking forward. However, his footsteps were clearly not as light as before.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the village chief's house.

Lin Yuelan stood there and shouted, “Village head grandpa, are you home?”

With a creak, the door to the courtyard opened. Then, a three or four-year-old boy pulled out his head. Her white and chubby face was adorable.

He tilted his head and asked in a childish voice, “who is that? Who's looking for my grandfather?”

This child was Lin Yiwei's youngest granddaughter, and Lin Yiwei used to love him.

Lin Yuelan bowed and smiled at the child. “Ranran, this is Lan's sister. Is your grandfather home?” As he spoke, he took out a small toy from his hand and handed it to him. “This, this is for Ranran!”

The child was too innocent to know about Lin Yuelan and the identity of her curse. Therefore, he did not reject it. When he saw the small toy in Lin Yuelan's hand, he immediately ran out of the door. He picked up the toy and said, “Thank you .. thank you, Sister Lan.”

Lin Yuelan touched her head and asked, “Ranran, tell big brother Lan, where is your grandfather?”

Lin Xuran raised her small head, and a worried expression appeared on her small face as she said, “small uncle, pain hurts. Grandpa's taking care of! ”

‘Small uncle, sick sick? Whatdoes thatmean? Did Lin Mingqing have any other injuries besides a spinal fracture?’

Lin Yuelan was a little worried when she heard this. He asked again, “Then, Ranran, can you bring big brother Lan to see grandfather?”

The boy initially nodded, then shook his head. He frowned and said, “small page ... no, no!”

What he meant was that Lin Mingqing did not want anyone to see him. He did not want anyone to see him in this miserable state.

Lin Yuelan felt a sour feeling in her heart. He was suddenly filled with anger and rage.

Lin Laosan's family was extremely cruel. Just because Lin Mingqing stopped them from killing him, they were ruthless enough to take revenge on Lin Mingqing.

That's really too disgusting.

‘Wait and see. I'll definitely pay you back double for what you've done in the past.

Lin Yuelan patted the little boy's head and said very gently, “Ranran, don't worry. Your little uncle will definitely see sister Lan. ”

The boy didn't think too much about it. His large eyes were suspicious when he asked, “really?”

“Yes, that's right,” Lin Yuelan nodded and promised.

Lin Xuran brought Lin Yuelan into the house and into one of the rooms.

When Lin Yuelan opened the door and saw the scene inside, she was extremely shocked!
