Chapter 535: Hiring Laborers

Zhou Wencai was taken aback when he heard Lin yuelan’s question.

But very quickly, a profound smile appeared on his face. He asked in return, ” then, miss Lin, what kind of benefits do you think you can give me? ”

Of course, he also needed benefits, whether it was connections or money.

The world bustled for profit!

Lin yuelan stretched out two fingers and said with a smile, ” how about 20%? But it’s only limited to the restaurants in An Ding County!”

He wanted money, but he wanted Jiang Zhennan’s connection with her even more. At the same time, she also needed to rely on the Zhou family to support the restaurant’s operations.

After all, out of all the officials in An Ding County, only County Magistrate Zhou had the highest authority.

With him as her backing, it would save her a lot of trouble.

Zhou Wencai was not a greedy person.

The main purpose of his suggesting Lin yuelan opens a restaurant this time was, of course, to build a good relationship and friendship with Jiang Zhennan. When he was recruited back by the main family in the future, he would also have a backer.

Zhou wencai nodded without any objections. “alright!”

Lin yuelan continued, ” young master Zhou, other than opening a restaurant, I also plan to expand Lin’s medicine shop to the prefecture capital. Whether it’s the location of the restaurant or the medicine shop, I might have to trouble young master Zhou to help me find them. After all, I’m not familiar with this place, and I’ve just finished harvesting in the Lin family Village. There’s still a lot of things to do at home, so I don’t have time to stay.”

Lin yuelan’s words had always been straightforward.

Since they had already formed a cooperative relationship, their interests were closely linked.

Zhou Wen instantly gasped upon hearing that.

He had left Ning An Town for some time and did not know how Lin yuelan was faring. However, he often kept in contact with Liu Qi through letters. Liu Qi would inevitably marvel at Lin yuelan in his letters, and at the same time, he would feel heartache for the money he had to give out. It was at least a few hundred taels a month.

However, opening a restaurant wasn’t something that could be done with just a few hundred taels of silver. Thus, he had tentatively suggested gathering some funds for the restaurant. He hadn’t expected Lin yuelan to agree so readily.

However, what surprised him was that Lin yuelan was planning to open a restaurant and a medicine shop at the same time.

This would require a huge expenditure.

How much money did Lin yuelan have?

After Zhou Wencai secretly took a deep breath, he nodded and replied, ” I’ll use my connections and have someone look for it!”

Lin yuelan replied, ” mm, then I’ll have to trouble young master Zhou.”

Zhou Wencai said with a smile, ” there’s no trouble at all. I’m free anyway.” But he had a lot of things to do every day, such as holding poetry meetings with friends, reciting poems, discussing the situation of the world with his father, and so on. He was quite busy.

Lin yuelan only nodded with a smile.

Then, Lin yuelan asked, ” Young master Zhou …”

“Wait, ” eldest young master Zhou was a little upset. He said unhappily, ” Miss Lin, I’m a few years older than you. You can call me big brother Zhou. Calling me young master Zhou feels a little awkward!” They seemed to have talked about this problem before.

Lin yuelan nodded without hesitation and said, ” alright, big brother Zhou. You don’t have to call me to miss Lin, just call me Yuelan.”

However, it wasn’t appropriate for a man to call an unmarried girl by her name.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, ” I call Jiaying a younger sister. As for you and Jiaying, you’re like sisters. Why don’t I call you little sister yuelan? ”

“Alright then!” Lin yuelan nodded.

Lin yuelan thought of another reason for coming to the county. She asked, ” Brother Zhou, I have another reason for coming to the county this time. I want to hire laborers!”

This once again surprised Zhou Wencai.

“Hire laborers?”

“That’s right. I want to hire laborers! We have a lot of fields at home, so I want to get some laborers to take care of these.” Lin Yuelan said without hiding anything.

Previously, she already had this intention. However, her house was small, and there was no place to stay. Thus, she delayed the purchase.

However, now that the house was almost finished and she was in the county, she might as well get this done.
