“Okay.” Lin Changshu was relieved to hear that the King just wanted to check on the vegetable oil.
Since it was already past noon, Lin Ziyin guessed they had already eaten, so she simply made a few ho-cooked dishes.
“Not bad.” Confronted with dishes prepared with vegetable oil for the first ti, Si Jinhan found it very interesting and Chu Suifeng was also delighted. It seed Lin Ziyin wasn’t bragging. He could foresee the booming business of private nus with these vegetable oils.
“Keep up the good work, we’ll place an order for a hundred jin at my Residence tomorrow.” Si Jinhan said.
“I’ll need about a hundred jin at my Residence too, soone will co to collect it tomorrow.” Chu Suifeng spoke up next.
“Alright, but one jin of vegetable oil is 150 copper coins.” Lin Ziyin imdiately switched to her rchant mode as money ca into the picture.
“You won’t be short-changed.” Si Jinhan looked at her sideways, dissatisfied.
Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan arrived and left in a hurry, as if they had really co just for a look.
Only then did Lin Changshu relax and re-enter the oil mill with Wu Dayou.
“Brother, I have to go to the temple tomorrow, can I borrow a bullock cart from Lou Zheng’s?” After spacing out at the door for a while, Lin Ziyin said.
“Okay, but with Wu Dayou and I busy at the oil mill, I’m worried about you heading to the temple alone. Let’s have Lou Zheng and his grandfather escort you.” Lin Changshu had been frightened the last ti by Si Jinhan, so he was very careful every ti Lin Ziyin went out.
“It’s just a burden on Lou Zheng.” Lin Ziyin said embarrassingly.
“No bother, tomorrow is a market day. I was already planning on taking mother and father to the market anyway, so it’s no problem.” Wu Dali walked in, laughing as he spoke.
Lin Ziyin thanked him and went back to the kitchen to prepare the soybeans for the tofu she would make the next day.
The next day, the people from the king’s residence and the Si Family ca to collect over two hundred jins of vegetable oil. When the people from the other households, who ca to buy tofu, saw this, they began asking the Lin Family.
“What’s that?”
“It’s our newly pressed vegetable oil.” Lin Ziyin explained with a smile.
“Vegetable oil?” Everyone was surprised. The people in the Daqin Empire had been eating pork fat for years, and they had never heard of vegetable oil before.
“How much silver?”
“One hundred and fifty copper coins per jin.” Lin Ziyin answered. “Peanut oil is more expensive, but we don’t have any available right now.”
“Next ti you have so, reserve fifty jin for .”
“We want so in our Residence, too.”
All the people who ca were clamoring to place an order, and Lin Ziyin agreed to all with a smile.
“Ziyin, the bullock cart is ready.” Lou Zhengs ca driving the bullock cart with Mrs. Zhang sitting on it.
“Here we go.” Lin Ziyin agreed with a smile. Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou hurried out at the sound, and lifted a few jars of soy oil onto the bullock cart.
Mrs. Zhang knew how valuable this soy oil was, so she imdiately made room and carefully helped with the jars, fearful of damaging them.
“Let’s go, I’m taking you two to eat sothing delicious.” Lin Ziyin had promised to take the two children to the market the night before.
The two children were overjoyed and climbed onto the carriage with the old man.
By the ti they arrived at the market, it was almost noon. The old man went straight to the temple to deliver the goods. Soon, a few martial monks ca down from the temple and carried the soy oil from the bullock cart into the temple.
“Master Host, I’m giving this jar of vegetable oil for free. Today I will make so vegetarian dishes with soybean oil for you, and offer so desserts as well.” Lin Ziyin said to the Chief Monk after seeing him.
“Excellent, excellent.” Before the Master could respond, Master Hui Lian, who couldn’t resist opening the jar and observing the yellow soy oil inside, had a cheerful expression on his face.
“Amitabha, thank you, benefactor.” The Chief Monk greeted with hands folded.
Lin Ziyin led the two children, the old man, and followed Master Hui Lian to the kitchen behind the ditation halls.
“You must learn well from Benefactor Lin today.” Master Hui Lian instructed the Firehead Monk.
“Amitabha, yes, senior brother.” The librarian knew that Lin Ziyin was here to start teaching private dishes, so he was very amiable toward her. He knew that with soybean oil, the monks’ als in the temple could be greatly improved, and in fact, the martial monks in the temple had been looking forward to this day.
