Lost in cards?
What kind of card game could cost so much money?
As they were talking, Mo Qishen added, ” In a few days we’ 11 be passing through Shanghai, let’s buy a few more houses in Huangfu District.”
“Buy more?” Wu Darning was speechless.
“Your sixth sister-in-law said,” Mo Qishen continued, ” that only houses in Beijing and Shanghai have high investment value.”
Wu Darning, not daring to speak ill of Ni Yang, could only whisper, “Not everything your sixth sister-in-law says is necessarily right…”
Mo Qishen laughed, “Whether it’s right or not doesn’t matter, what matters is that she said it.”
Wu Darning:
Hopefully, Mo Qishen won’t regret it later. He could only offer a slight warning and avoid saying too much.
Thinking about all that money going down the drain, Wu Darning felt a twinge of pain.
If he had that much money, he’d rather spend it on more food and clothes, not like Mo Qishen. Even putting it in the bank to earn interest would be better than buying houses!
Sigh, Mo Qishen was the type who just did not turn back until he hit a wall.
At two-thirty in the afternoon, the noodle restaurant opened on time.
Even though the afternoon crowd wasn’t as large as the morning, all the tables in the shop were always occupied.
By dinner time, there was a line forming again. Luckily, Ni Yang had prepared plenty of noodles and fish soup in advance, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been enough.
Despite good business, Ni Yang didn’t stay open too late and closed punctually at seven thirty.
Firstly, it was for health reasons.
Secondly, it was a marketing strategy.
She had to keep her customers longing, maintaining an air of mystery to attract more new customers.
If the restaurant were open all the time, it might seem too cheap to customers.
That night, back home, Ni Yang sat on the bed and went over the day’s accounts.
She found that the day’s total business actually amounted to 850 yuan!
The total cost of electricity, water, gas, labor, and ingredients was about too yuan.
After deducting these, the net profit was 750 yuan!
Along with the good sales of facial cleanser and aloe vera gel in the past few days, she could make around 900 yuan a day, which amounted to 27,000 yuan a month.
Even though she could earn more than 20,000 yuan a month, Ni Yang was not satisfied at all.
After all, in her previous life, she was a boss playing with millions within minutes.
She had to work harder!
After securing the money, Ni Yang went to cook.
Cuihua had already washed the vegetables, so Ni Yang just had to cook them.
In no time, Ni Yang had cooked three dishes and a soup.
The first dish: stir-fried pork with cowpea.
The “Compendium of Materia Medica” records that “cowpeas nourish qi, strengthen kidneys and spleen.”
So, cowpeas are good for preventing premature aging.
The second dish: braised pig’s trotters.
Pig’s trotters are rich in collagen, which helps enhance breast volume. Although Ni Yang already had a nice figure, she still needed to maintain it.
The third dish: spicy stir-fried bamboo shoots.
“Compendium of Materia Medica Supplement” notes that “bamboo shoots are beneficial for the nine orifices, circulation of blood, clearing phlegm and removing food stagnation.”
As such, bamboo shoots are very good for slimming. With her daily hearty diet, she had to prevent her figure from becoming misshapen.
The soup is cuttlefish and winter melon soup.
The “Sui Xi Residence Diet” says, “Cuttlefish cures abnormal uterine bleeding, irregular menstruation, hernia, and is most beneficial for women.”
The combination of cuttlefish and winter melon has a good blood-nourishing effect.
Thus, this dish is very beneficial for the female friends.
Just as she was setting the three dishes on the table, Ni Chenggui arrived, “Yangyang, how was business today?”
Ni Yang smiled and said, “Pretty good.”
Ni Chenggui picked up the tea cup and said, “Yangyang, it’s not easy for you to have achieved this. You and your mother have finally seen better days after all the hardships. I wish you more success in the future, as the saying goes – prosperity in abundance!”
From starting with a street stall to owning her own shop now, Ni Chenggui had seen Ni Yang’s growth.
Others might think it was easy for her to make money and buy the shop in less than half a year. However, only Ni Chenggui knew how hard it was for Ni Yang to attain this success.
Every morning, she woke up between two and three o’clock. Before dawn broke, she was carrying four to five hundred kilograms of soup to market. Rain or shine, she never took a day off. Without seeing it firsthand, it would be hard to believe that a seventeen-year-old girl could be so hardworking and endure so much.
Her resilience was even beyond that of average adults!
Ni Chenggui had never admired anyone before, but Ni Yang was the first.
Ni Cuihua and Ni Yang raised their glasses, “Thank you, Sister Chenggui/Auntie Chenggui.”
