Chapter 66 Replanning
When Ruan Tang taught Tu Xinmei to cook those new dishes before, he didn't think too much. After all, Tu Xinmei also taught him to cook his own specialty dishes before, and those dishes were learned for nothing, so he never thought about asking for any compensation.
But I didn't expect that when they came to Zhao's house today, at the dinner table, Tu Xinmei brought up the matter again, not only thanked him solemnly again, but also took out a silver ingot weighing two taels, saying that the restaurant had passed by Half of the monthly income will be given to him.
Naturally, Ruan Tang refused, but Tu Xinmei said, if Ruan Tang hadn't taught her those new dishes, the restaurant business wouldn't be as prosperous as it is today, so Ruan Tang deserved it, not only today, but every day in the future. Every month, she would give part of the restaurant's proceeds to Ruan Tang. If Ruan Tang refused to accept it, she would have no face to cook those dishes in the future.
This made Ruan Tang very embarrassed, and couldn't help looking at Tu Lin.
Receiving his wife's eyes asking for help, Tu Lin was naturally obliged, so he said to Tu Xinmei: "Sister, when I was still a fool, you and brother-in-law helped me and Atang so much, and I have never repaid you one or two. Now it's just a few dishes, it's really nothing. The business of the restaurant is so good, in the final analysis, it's because of your good craftsmanship and brother-in-law's good management. You make me feel even more ashamed. "
Seeing that Tu Lin brought up the past, Tu Xinmei couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, but she still shook her head and said, "One size counts for one size. You are my real brother. My mother left early. The eldest sister is like a mother. It is also right to take care of you. Our brothers and sisters, there is no use saying that we should reciprocate or not. It’s just that brothers have to settle accounts clearly, but I can’t take advantage of you. This money is what Ruan Tang deserves. Still take it."
Tu Lin also understood Tu Xinmei's stubbornness, so he was not surprised by Tu Xinmei's persistence, but he knew that Ruan Tang was unwilling to accept the money, so he smiled and said: "My brother will settle the score, my sister said It makes sense, if that's the case, let's settle the old debt I owe."
Speaking of this, Tu Lin looked at Ruan Tang and asked, "A Tang, I remember you said that you remember every amount of my sister's subsidy in those years, how much money was there in total in five years?" ?”
Ruan Tang paused for a moment, then said: "Not counting the food, clothes, etc., just the silver, there are three, two, four, 28 cash."
Mrs. Li treated Tu Lin and the others harshly, and it was not just about food, the clothes and bedding were the most outdated and tattered, they couldn't keep out the cold in winter, let alone being sick.
Although there is Ruan Tang's care, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he alone can't conjure food and money out of thin air. In the end, they rely on the food and necessities that Tu Xinmei sends from time to time to help them today.
After Ruan Tang finished speaking, Tu Lin took out the money bag from his pocket without waiting for Tu Xinmei to say anything else, and then counted the money while reciting eloquently. For other things that Tu Xinmei sent, he also had to discount the price one by one and return them to Tu Xinmei.
Since Tu Xinmei said that his brother will settle accounts, then he will just listen to her.
Tu Xinmei didn't expect that Tu Lin would settle an 'old account' with her at all, which made her not know what to do for a while, "A Lin, what are you doing, when will my sister want you?" Do you still have these?"
But Tu Lin ignored him, Tu Xinmei could only look at Ruan Tang, and Ruan Tang didn't speak, obviously agreeing with Tu Lin's meaning, Zhao Changping on the side went to stop Tu Lin, but Tu Lin ignored him, Counting the money on his own.
Seeing that Tu Lin was really serious, Tu Xinmei had no choice but to compromise, and said helplessly: "Come on, I was wrong today, just pretend that I didn't say anything about the money. Let’s go.” Then, he took back the ingot of silver that could not be sent out on the table in the end.
Only then did Tu Lin stop counting the money, and put all the counted money back into the purse, then picked up the chopsticks and began to pick up vegetables, saying, "Your cooking is delicious. I’ve been thinking about it outside.”
"You," Tu Xinmei shook her head, with a look of helplessness, and said, "Since you like to eat, eat more." She also gave Tu Lin a chopstick of his favorite dish, but she didn't see it. Tu Lin winked quietly at Ruan Tang, showing a smug smile.
Ruan Tang couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and also brought some food for Tu Lin, thanking him for helping him out.
Let go of the matter of giving Ruan Tang a bonus and silver, and Tu Xinmei will not mention it anymore, but there is another thing she has to say, and that is the matter of Tu Lin walking the darts.
Although Tu Lin came back smoothly this time, and got the remuneration from the bodyguard bureau, plus the reward from the employer, a total of 13 taels, but Tu Xinmei would rather Tu Lin earn less than continue to go out. Working hard.
It was a done deal before, she had no choice but to let Tu Lin leave, but now that Ruan Tang is pregnant, she can't let Tu Lin leave no matter what.
Tu Lin had already decided not to go out for escorts before, but he hadn't had time to tell Tu Xinmei. Now that Tu Xinmei mentioned it, he told him his plan before Tu Xinmei could persuade him.
Tu Xinmei couldn't be happier to hear what Tu Lin said, and she felt like she had finally let go of a big rock in her heart.As for what kind of soap Tu Lin planned to make to sell, she also agreed and supported it very much, and she was very optimistic about it.
Ruan Tang sent her a few pieces of soap. Although she saw it for the first time, she thought it was very easy to use, better than the plant ash and acacia water she usually used.At that time, she thought it was something Ruan Tang bought from the county town, but she didn't expect that it was Ruan Tang who made it himself, so she couldn't help being very surprised.
Now that Tu Lin said that he wanted to do the soap business, Tu Xinmei immediately felt that this was an excellent business. Although it might not be as profitable as darts, it was at least safe and safe. This alone was much better than darts.
Because he had to take care of Ruan Tang's pregnancy, Tu Lin didn't drink too much during the banquet, and Tu Xinmei didn't allow it either.After the banquet was over, because Ruan Tang was going to take a nap, they didn't stay long and went home soon.
After returning home, Tu Lin settled Ruan Tang and Tu An, and then went to the county seat with the list of things to buy that he had discussed with Ruan Tang yesterday and wrote down.Just entering the county seat, he didn't go shopping immediately, but went to the Weiyuan Escort Bureau first, planning to resign from his job as an Escort Master.
This is what he decided early on, and the reason was also thought up long ago, but now that Ruan Tang is pregnant, it is more appropriate and justifiable than the reason he thought about before.
So when he saw Chief Security Officer Qin, Tu Lin made a complaint first. After all, he knew that Chief Security Officer Qin valued him very much, but he couldn't do what Chief Security Guard Qin wanted, and then he revealed that his wife was pregnant. , the family can't live without people, he plans to resign from his job as a bodyguard, please forgive me.
Although Tu Lin had a good reason for asking himself, he was also prepared for Chief Security Officer Qin not to let him go, so after the Chief Security Guard listened to his words and pondered for a moment, he still shook his head and did not agree to his resignation. At that time, he was not surprised.
As for the later Chief Escort Qin persuaded him to say that a man should make a difference, how to stay in the inner house, trapped in the love of his children, and as long as Tu Lin follows him, he will be able to make a difference in the future, let Tu Lin never be a woman Zhiren's words.
Although Tu Lin listened as if he was being educated, he didn't feel much moved in his heart.Zifeiyu Anzhi Yuzhile, he is not an ambitious person, and his heart is so small that he can only pretend to be a lover and blood relative.It is enough for him to protect his family well and make them live a stable and prosperous life. As for the others, they are not important.
Seeing that Tu Lin did not change his words and gave up his resignation after some persuasion by himself, Chief Security Officer Qin couldn't help but feel disappointed, but he was also unwilling to give up easily, so he just told Tu Lin that his wife was pregnant and he was worried. It is understandable to let Tu Lin go home and take care of him with peace of mind. As for the matter of walking the darts, we will wait until the baby is born smoothly.
Tu Lin has made up his mind to go, and there will be no change in the future, but he doesn't want to be too tough and create a rift with the Weiyuan Escort, so he doesn't say anything more, which is regarded as accepting the intention of Chief Escort Qin. Just because he had something to do, he bid farewell and left the Escort.
After coming out of the Escort, Tu Lin started to make big purchases in the county town. He first went to the blacksmith shop and ordered two large pots, one of which was a large pot for cooking, which was used to boil the soap liquid in the water. It is sometimes used to hold water, and the other is similar to a casserole, with a wide mouth and a wide belly. It is about half the size of a water tank, and it is used to boil soap liquid.
Since we want to sell soap now, we need a huge quantity. The small medicine jar that Ruan Tang used to make soap can produce four or five pieces of soap at a time, which is obviously far from enough, so we need to replace it with a bigger one. Containers will do.
Because the soap liquid needs to be stirred continuously when cooking, Ruan Tang used to use ordinary spoons, but it will not work after changing to a new pot, so Tu Lin drew a picture of the stirrer in his previous life The picture was handed over to the blacksmith to make one according to the shape, and the size was based on the pot for boiling the soap.
Although the things Tu Lin made were very novel, they were not difficult to look at, and they should be able to be made, so the master of the blacksmith shop took over the business.
Making ironware cannot be done overnight, and it will take some time, so Tu Lin left the blacksmith shop after paying a part of the deposit, and then went to find a carpenter, and ordered several sets of special soap molds .
The last thing to buy is various materials used to make soap, such as fat pork and suet for making lard, caustic soda, as well as various dyes and face powders.Among them, fat pork and suet can be found at any meat stall in the vegetable market, and caustic soda is mostly used for cooked leather and dyed cloth, which is not a rare thing, and it is sold in general grocery stores.It's just that Tu Lin has a lot to buy, and the grocery store doesn't have that much stock, so in the end, he just paid a part of the deposit first, and asked the shopkeeper to help him buy more.
The rest of the face powder can go directly to the powder shop, but the dye is a bit troublesome.This is not something that ordinary people can use, so it is not sold in ordinary shops, so Tu Lin went directly to a cloth dyeing workshop, wanting to buy some, but he didn't want to be in charge of the cloth workshop. If you sell it to him privately, you can only give up.
Then Tu Lin remembered that dyes were not available, so would it be okay to buy paints for painting?They were all dyed anyway, so he went to Moyunzhai in the county, which specializes in selling the Four Treasures of the Study.It's just that when he asked whether the paint would be harmful to the human body if it often came into contact with the skin, but got an ambiguous answer from the clerk, Tu Lin knew that this way would not work either.
Soap is used by people every day, how can it be mixed with things that are not good for the human body?
Dyeing the soap with pigments is also useless. Although he feels helpless, Tu Lin can't think of a better way, so he can only temporarily give up this matter and decide to go back home.
