With the matter of selecting someone on her mind, Lin Yuan remembered that her tofu shop was still lacking a steward. Originally, she hadn't wanted Xia Zheng to choose the person, for fear that he would send over another spy to steal her tofu-making methods. However, after spending some time together, Lin Yuan's wariness towards him had lessened considerably, and she even felt somewhat dependent on him.
Moreover, during the days when Xia Zheng freeloaded at the Lin family's village, she had practically handed over the entire tofu-making process to him. Nevertheless, due to a prior agreement, Xia Zheng had learned the art for nothing and dared not find someone to make tofu on his own. There was no helping it, the young girl was clever as a fox, her mind full of new ideas. He was genuinely afraid she might put Fuman Building out of business in retaliation.
