Laoganma was a hot sauce that was popular in China and even overseas in the 21st century.
Although she couldn’t make it exactly like that, she could make a similar one.
Anyway, with the chilies in hand, she did not have to worry about money.
Li Xiao listened to Lin Xiaoyue quietly.
After a long while, he finally said, “how about involving Hei Gang in the buying of the manor?”
“Also, the chili sauce and bean paste business.” Li Xiao added.
Lin Xiaoyue paused.
“Chili sauce and bean paste have a long shelf life and can be sold to other places. Hei Gang has a lot of connections in this area, so he might have a way.”
“In addition, when the time comes, you will need workers in the manor. You have to choose reliable ones. Ask Hei Gang to send his men to watch over the workers so that they don’t leak the news.”
Li Xiao grabbed Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.
“With Hei Gang’s help, you can relax.”
As he got to know more people with Hei Gang, he knew the importance of a network.
If his wife could give him more time, when he was more capable, he would definitely be able to support her business and even achieve something.
However, time was too tight, and the family business was developing too quickly. He was afraid that it would attract unwanted attention.
At present, Hei Gang was a good candidate.
He was well-known in Qingshi Town, and he knew people in the county and prefecture.
Lin Xiaoyue was moved. She understood Li Xiao’s intention.
“Alright, then please ask Hei Gang if he’s interested.”
“Sure.”
The next night, Hei Gang brought his wife, Zhou Shi, to the Liu family.
Hei Gang was very happy to hear that Lin Xiaoyue wanted to buy a manor and start a chili business, and even more so that she wanted him to be involved.
At noon, he went back and told his wife about the matter. After she heard it, she was even happier than Hei Gang.
After the couple discussed it, Zhou Shi suggested that Hei Gang hand this matter over to her.
Thus, Zhou Shi followed them to the Liu family.
“I’ve discussed this with your big brother. I’ll work with you on this business. When the time comes, I’ll handle the manor and the people, and you only need to contribute the skills. You’ll get 60% and I’ll get 40% of the profit!” Zhou Shi said to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes widened.
“How can that be?”
“No worries! I like your chili very much. I’m confident that it will make a lot of money! I’m already thick-skinned to take 40% of your money!” Zhou Shi grabbed Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.
“Thank you for telling us,” as she spoke, she quickly glanced at Hei Gang.
“Otherwise, I’m just doing nothing at home.”
“Men like them work hard outside and live a full life. Unlike us women, who live around pots and pans all day long.”
Lin Xiaoyue was amused.
The Hei family did not have to worry about food and drink, and they even had servants to serve them. They were not as pitiful as she said.
Hei Gang and Li Xiao heard that and looked at them.
Then, Zhou Shi glared at Hei Gang.
Hei Gang’s expression stiffened, and he did not dare to look again. He continued drinking with Li Xiao.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue laughed.
Just as she was about to speak, Zhou Shi pulled her up from the stool.
“Let’s talk in your room.”.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Hei Gang and nodded when she saw that Hei Gang didn’t stop her.
Hence, she left the table with Zhou Shi.
“Aiya, slow down!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Zhou Shi pulled Lin Xiaoyue to the bed in the room and sat down. Lin Xiaoyue then realized that her expression was a little off.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly asked.
Zhou Shi looked up at Lin Xiaoyue.
Only then did Lin Xiaoyue see clearly that her eyes were actually filled with tears.
“Zhou Shi…” Lin Xiaoyue’s expression changed, and she quickly went forward to hug her.
“Wu, wu, wu…” Zhou Shi couldn’t control herself anymore and started crying on Lin Xiaoyue’s shoulder.
Lin Xiaoyue’s heart ached, but she could only pat her back.
“It’s okay, I’m here…”
Although she had only met her a few times, she had a straightforward personality and was really good to her and her family.
Back when she married Li Xiao, she worked really hard.
After a while, Zhou Shi finally controlled her emotions and came out of Lin Xiaoyue’s arms.
“Heh, I’ve made a fool out of myself.” She said somewhat embarrassedly.
“Not at all. You are like my sister. I won’t laugh at you..”
