Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

"Oh, it's 'love at first sight' only Apica!"

The knowledgeable woman could not restrain her surprise and exclaimed.

"It's true! It's really 'love at first sight'. It's not easy to buy..."

Several women followed suit one after another, their voices full of surprise.

Although Father Zheng's friends who work are all from the town, they seem great in the eyes of the villagers, but they are actually ordinary people in the town.

After all, with Zheng's ability, he can't know any big people. They are all colleagues he knows from working in the carpenter's shop, or craftsmen who do other crafts. In the town, they are still low-level people.

These people were a little contemptuous when they came to the country to drink wedding wine. Although they were somewhat satisfied when they saw the dishes prepared by Lin Ze for the He family, they were not too surprised. Presumably, they were the restaurant cooks hired by the host for the sake of face. .

As for the bread on the table, it’s easy to explain, it must have been bought in line at 'Love at First Sight', the brother-in-law Lao Zheng is quite caring.

But 'Only Apica' is different, and this thing has become famous in the town in recent days.

Although the owner who sells and issues this kind of card is strictly speaking a small vendor, who made Lin Ze not only make delicious and fresh food, but also be good at hype.

It is also a purchase restriction and novelty snacks, plus it has obtained a rather gimmicky signature name, it is really difficult not to spread the reputation.

The cakes, egg tarts and other snacks that were tasted at the launch of "Only Apica" surprised the ladies and ladies. They didn't dislike this roadside stall at all, and they threw money and snapped up VIP cards like fools. This is the important reason for making the "love at first sight" sign famous.

Because the number of VIP cards issued by Lin Ze for the first time is too small, even if the cards are broken into pieces, it is not enough to share equally with the wives and ladies in the backyard of the town, which makes it even more precious. There is a veil of mystery in people's hearts.

I have to say that Lin Ze's hype was really successful this time.

But this fame is only limited to the town, and the news in the village is closed, only vaguely heard about the new bread, so I am still a little puzzled when I hear the exclamation of the ladies.

Father Zheng has heard of the 'Love at First Sight' bread, but he is a gentleman and works hard, so he is not as clear as the women, and he doesn't understand what 'Only Epic' is.

But looking at the surprise appearances of a few friends and their wives receiving the gift, I knew in my heart that the things He Xiangfeng gave must be good, and I was very satisfied with He Xiangfeng.

"Everywhere, they are all small things. Just show your heart and let everyone be happy."

Father Zheng smiled beamingly.

Several of his friends were also smiling, congratulations on the big day,

"Everything is a small thing, Old Zheng, you ignorant fellow, this silver 'Only Love Card' is worth two taels of silver a piece, you are a good son-in-law!"

This is all telling the truth, not to mention how hard it is to buy a "only love card", that is, the cheapest copper card costs a tael of silver, and no one is willing to buy it for ordinary people.

Lin Ze prepared silver cards for He Xiangfeng, which gave enough face. These people didn't know their relationship, so naturally they only thought that He Xiangfeng bought it with money.

Two liang of silver and one silver card are just given out like this. The hand is not small. If you don't have some money and your face is swollen, you can't pretend to be a fat man. Lao Zheng, the country brother-in-law, is better than the boy in the town.

"Two, two taels of silver..."

Father Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then regretted bleeding in his heart.

He Xiangfeng, a brat who can't live a life!He loves face, but he is not a person who is willing to die for face. How will his little brother live after this kid sends out such expensive things and empties his family!

The surrounding villagers were also dumbfounded, they didn't realize that the little card was worth two taels of silver.

The He family just sent it out so casually. Could it be that they are always pretending to be poor?In fact, he is secretly rich?

For a while, the aunts and aunts in the village became inexplicably enthusiastic about the remaining son of the He family.

The He family members were also shocked and ashamed, they really didn't expect that the things Lin Ze casually gave them were so valuable.

He Xiangfeng's back was sweating from the eyes of everyone and Zheng's father who hated his life, but he also knew that this was Lin Ze's intention to save face for him.

"My uncles and aunts laughed at me. Be careful. This card is also a gift from a friend. I borrow flowers and present Buddha as a return gift to my uncles and aunts. Don't joke..."

He Xiangfeng still acted calmly after getting through with Lin Ze earlier.

He did not admit that the card was bought with silver. Everyone knows the situation of his family. There is no need to pretend this face. After pretending, it will be a series of troubles.

He only said that it was a gift from a friend, which was reasonable. As for Lin Ze’s name, he didn’t mention it, because Lin Ze didn’t really want to let the villagers stare at his business so early and cause trouble. How long can he delay it? Wait until the villagers find out .

With this explanation, Father Zheng's face looks much better.

His friends in the town also nodded and gave He Xiangfeng a high look. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous and was good at making friends. Lao Zheng's brother-in-law was really good at finding him.

And when the newlywed cream cake presented by Lin Ze came on stage, the guests that Dad Zheng invited from the town were completely in admiration.

The shape is unique, the decoration is novel and unprecedented, and the visual effect of the three-story big cake is very powerful to the ancients who have never seen it before.

It seems that the old brother-in-law Zheng's friend is really capable. Not only did he buy so many silver 'Audemars Picards', but he even ordered such a big cream cake, which is something that even the golden Audemars Piguet customers may not be able to buy. !

At present, Lin Ze has only released palm-sized cream cakes to the outside world. This kind of big cake with several layers is not mentioned, it is just for advertising today.

There is no advertisement in the world that is more believable than the real thing, and there is no news that is more curious than word of mouth.

Knowing the modern business principle of "No matter how well the seller brags, the buyer can get a bad review", Lin Ze naturally does not rely on his own mouth to brag about everything.

Reasonable hype gimmicks, reasonable use of the masses to spread advertisements, this is the result of twice the result with half the effort.

Although the friends Zheng Dae invited were all unremarkable craftsmen in the town, they knew many big family members and stewards because of their work.

And in order to get along well with these stewards and get better jobs in the future, any good things and good news in hand will definitely be used to open up relationships, and these stewards will naturally offer favors to their masters when they get good things.

With such layer after layer of relationships, the value of things must have been exaggerated countless times in front of those other wives and young ladies.

When everyone says yes, that thing must be really good. Isn't this more powerful than the effect of Wang Po selling melons and boasting?

This is another reason why Lin Ze did his best to save face for Mrs. Zheng and his wife's wedding banquet, apart from his friendship.

"...This is the wedding cake of 'Love at First Sight', specially for newlyweds. It hasn't been released yet. Thanks to my friend, I bought it. Let's try it out and celebrate it."

With the benefits of Lin Ze, He Xiangfeng also dutifully helped to recommend and speak good words.

After hearing this, several craftsmen in the town's eyes sparkled.

Obviously, everyone obediently jumped into the big hole designed by Lin Ze. They were all very 'smart' and wanted to turn around and sell the news to a familiar mansion manager. The 'love at first sight' dim sum is now really famous in the town. Very hot.

After a wedding banquet, the people in the village ate their mouths full of oil, and praised the He family for being willing to marry their eldest son. Judging by the dishes on the table, they must have invited a restaurant cook.

The people in the town at Dad Zheng's table also ate happily. The wedding banquet prepared by the He family today was better than many ordinary people in the town.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Ze was very low-key. He hid in the kitchen and finished the banquet dishes, then came out and sat in the corner to eat silently with Zhang Yu, listening to the compliments during the banquet, he felt happy.

Lin Sangui, who knew the truth, was also laughing in his heart. His boss is capable, and he can make a fortune just by figuring out any skill in the book, so he doesn't need to worry about it in the future.

Of course, if there is no Chen Shuju bragging about it all the time, "What's the matter if the banquet is well organized, it's not just a swollen face to pretend to be fat. In two days, my son will get married, and the private school teachers in the town and the talented men from all over the country will come." Congratulations, this is the face..." Lin Sangui would feel happier.

In short, except for a few people like Chen Shuju who made sour remarks, most of the villagers sincerely praised the He family's wedding banquet today, and marrying the younger brother of the Zheng family was enough face.

It is rare to have a happy event in the village. There is enough food on the table and there is no need to grab it. In addition, there is rice wine suitable for all ages. Everyone eats quickly.

After the bustle and bustle, the food and drink are still on the scene, and I am intoxicated by taking small bites of the cream cake that I have shared.

Sweet and smooth, with a delicate and delicious taste, my dear, this is probably something the gods in the sky eat!

A group of villagers who were reluctant to even buy bread to eat were overwhelmed by the better-tasting cakes.

If it weren't for hearing that there is no bread for this cake, everyone would be reluctant to eat it now, and they have to take it back and save it every day to enjoy it slowly.

As for the bread on the table, it was already divided up by everyone consciously, wrapped in oiled paper and ready to take home.

The custom of wedding banquets in this part of Heba Village is generally only one meal at noon, not because of stinginess, but because of limited conditions.

The wedding banquet in the village invites the whole village to eat. There are hundreds of households in the village, and every household is a feast for the whole family. Everyone in the village is a big eater. No one dares to host a full-day banquet .

So slowly until the middle of the afternoon, the show can basically be over, and go home in twos and threes.

The He family has a lot of hands, and they can finish the cleaning work by themselves. Lin Ze and the two did not stay to help. They talked to He Xiangfeng, who was busy but had a red face, and followed the villagers to go home.

As a result, as soon as they walked to the big drying yard where the grain was dried in the village, everyone saw a carriage parked beside the drying yard.

The decoration of the carriage was not particularly luxurious, but the curtains made of high-quality fabrics could still show the owner's family background. Standing beside the carriage was a fat man dressed in satin and a child of seven or eight years old.

There are also two servants who look like servants, and at a glance, they must be masters outside the staff.

The villagers were surprised by this, and they all speculated whose relatives this was or what?What are the rich masters doing in their poor village?

While everyone was excited and guessing, the fat man at the other end saw the joy on the faces of the villagers who came out from the banquet at He's house.

Then he ran over with his son who had a stinky expression beside him, stopped in front of Lin Ze under the surprised eyes of everyone, and cupped his hands respectfully, with a slightly excited tone,

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Li has been waiting for you. Please don't feel offended. I'm Li Guangcai, the owner of Xiangyun Silk and Satin Village on Zhendong Street. Mr. Li has heard that Mr. Lin is very knowledgeable and has been admiring him for a long time. Today, he brought his dog here to learn from his teacher. I sincerely ask you to educate the dog."
