Chapter 48 The Road to Well-off (24)

The new shop’s decorations were actually not arduous, they still called the Little Uncle’s group to work, tearing down the parts of the Old house that needed to be taken down, and everything that needed to be taken care of, within a few days, Li Yannian’s small restaurant was in its elementary stage.

Naturally, the sound of the warehouse renovation alerted the laborers working on the dock. When it was time for work, groups of people would come to the warehouse and point at the construction site. When they found out that they were going to open a restaurant in the future, even they themselves would laugh.

“Is your boss crazy? Where did this business come from? Did you guys see how much money we earn every day? How could we bear to spend it on you?”

“Exactly, it’s more like your boss has opened a good hall.”

Black Bean heard the words with an ear-piercing voice, and the expression on his face did not look good. Li Yannian pressed his hands to indicate for him to stop talking, and smiled merrily as she welcomed the labourers. She had an innocent expression on his face: “Brothers, don’t you guys have to eat while working? Our boss has set up his dining room here. Isn’t it convenient for you guys to come over to eat after work? You don’t even need to go out to the streets anymore. It’s such a good thing, why aren’t you welcoming him? ”

One of the men stepped forward. He looked to be about twenty years old, about 1.9 meters tall, and had a dark, robust appearance. It was obvious that he possessed great strength. Li Yannian carefully noted that this person’s clothes were sixty percent new, and the patches on his clothes were very few. It was only two pieces at the knees and elbows that were easy to be worn out.

“Little girl, you’re really stupid. What is your store planning to sell? Black nest or gruel? We even brought them to your store to eat and earn money for your boss? Brother, you have to put in all your effort to work every day. At most, you can only earn a few dozen coins, and that’s not even enough for a meal. Who can afford it? Tell your boss to rest early. This beating should cost a lot of money, right? Don’t cry when the time comes. ”

After that man finished talking, he was also kind. He didn’t want to see someone losing a lot of money, so stopping the damage in time was the most important thing.

However, Li Yannian laughed: “Our shop does not sell Black Nest, these things that don’t taste good. Our boss has said that he only sells plain rice.

“What?!” “White rice?”

The group of people cried out in shock and looked at each other for a long time. It was unknown who laughed first, but the situation became uncontrollable. They all laughed until tears and snot flowed out.

One of them managed to hold back his laughter with great difficulty as he uttered half a sentence, “Your boss is really …”

Before he could finish, he had to hold his stomach and roll on the floor laughing.

The dark burly man from before helped him to finish, “His brain got kicked by a donkey.”

When Zhang Bao and Zhang Sibao saw this scene, they actually thought the same as the laborers. However, it was still uncomfortable to see their niece being mocked like this. However, Li Yannian remained calm and waited for everyone’s laughter to gradually die down before he smiled and said: “Brothers, don’t laugh too early, when our boss opens his shop, it won’t be too late to laugh.”

The few laborers who were watching the scene all laughed, and only treated Li Yannian like a child who did not take things lightly, and joked: “Alright, then when you guys open it, we’ll come over to support you guys.”

As she spoke, she put her arms around his shoulders and left while laughing.

Black Bean was a little uneasy. He looked at her sister, her eyes clearly saying, Are you sure you want to open this shop?

Li Yannian turned around to look at the Zhang brothers and the few familiar faces who had come to help with the work. With a smirk, she said in an extremely mature manner, “It’s fine, uncle, you guys continue with your work. I will go with brother to the carpenter to check if the chairs and tables are ready.”

She purposely didn’t reveal the price of the restaurant in front of the laborers just now because she wanted to use their mouths to spread the news that a “ass kicked in the head” idiot owner was going to open a restaurant on the dock. Li Yannian could imagine that within half a day, this joke would spread around the wharf. When the shop truly opened, these people would definitely come to visit.

What else could match the effects of this advertisement? It was worth it to be laughed at, not to mention the fact that she had saved the money she had originally expected to spend on free meals on her first day of business to attract customers to advertise.

Seeing that their niece had made up her mind, the Zhang brothers could not say anything else. They each shook their heads and sighed, then silently went back to their work.

On the other side, Du Jia Village.

Gu Mingyuan absent-mindedly looked at the green branch that was newly sent out outside the window. Hearing a knock on the door, he turned around and saw Manager Xu on his big brother’s shop, and subconsciously revealed a polite smile.

“Why did the Manager Xu come here today? Did he just report back from my big brother?”

Manager Xu laughed blandly: “I can’t hide anything from Third Young Master, I did indeed just come over from the boss’s side. As I passed by Third Young Master’s study, I think I have to tell Third Young Master about something.”

Gu Mingyuan’s curiosity was piqued, his brows slightly raised: “Oh? What’s worth of a visit from Manager Xu? Please state it clearly. ”

Manager Xu slightly nodded, and said slowly: “Speaking of it, it’s not a big deal, it’s just related to the Li Family’s little girl. There was a recent joke on the docks that someone was going to open a restaurant at the edge of the docks and sell only white rice. I heard that it was rather interesting, so I sent the shop assistant to investigate, but in the end, there were some people with the surname Zhang, some people with surname Li, and some who couldn’t be determined, but there were indeed two old acquaintances, namely Li Village’s two children, Little Brother Black Bean and the red bean.

Gu Mingyuan revealed a rare look of surprise, and was stunned for a moment before saying: “She wants to open a restaurant? “How can you do business in that position?”

In the end, she seemed to be talking to herself, “I haven’t seen them stock up at our place yet …”

Manager Xu laughed: That’s right, that’s why I feel that it’s strange, talking about the restaurant’s business, no one can avoid Third Young Master, who knows what kind of scriptures Li siblings is reading, one moment sshe is going to casually attack, one moment he is going to casually attack, the next moment she is going to earn more money to eat.

Seeing that Gu Mingyuan was still deep in thought, he felt that it was not a good idea to stay longer, so he cupped his hands and took his leave.

Gu Mingyuan got up and sent his out, but he still could not understand the Li Family’s little girl’s plan this time. Wasn’t this the same as asking a beggar for money? Wasn’t it obvious that there was no hope?

Zhao Cai and Jin Bao looked at each other suspiciously, and didn’t dare to ask what their master meant by this.

As for Li Yannian’s shop, it was being decorated smoothly, and with her uncle’s help, she and Black Bean did not come to the town to look after the wall work, and instead stayed at home to focus on preparing for the opening.

“Brother, look. If we were to calculate the amount of one hundred kilograms of rice that would be steamed in our shop, we wouldn’t be able to produce it by ourselves three people.” When the time came, he would need people to wash the rice, burn the fire, cook the rice, collect the money, wash the dishes and clean up the shop. “Should we ask Auntie if she wants to come to our store and help? If she wants, we can take lunch, and how much money will we give her every month?”

Black Bean shook his head: “I don’t think my aunt has the time. Uncle still has seven or eight acres of land to grow. Why don’t we ask then, and let my aunt help us introduce a reliable one? I think giving you a month’s wages is about right. After all, we only eat our family’s food, and the helpers outside only get this much money in a month.

Li Yannian agreed: “Then this matter will be asked by brother. Dou Dou was too small. It was best to stay at home and watch over Xu Zi. “I only plan to do lunch. After we clean up the store, I will have the time to come home in the afternoon, but it will be a bit hard to make it in time, so there won’t be any other issues.”

Even though Black Bean was not confident, he still said: “You can decide, I’ll let you handle this matter.”

Li Yannian could not help but sigh. Other than the fact that she had the golden thumb that brought her the Taobao System this time, the thing that made her the most satisfied were the two most close relatives of the original owner, who completely and unconditionally trusted her. Even for people like her who sounded like such a ridiculous thought, Black Bean and Mao Dou had never said no to her before.

After thinking about it, she shook Black Bean’s hand a little forcefully: “Brother, don’t worry, in the future, our family will be rich, rich like oil.”

Black Bean revealed a helpless but doting smile, and patted her head: “You forget, our family has already made a fortune. Everything else aside, just this month’s paper sales alone gave you a hundred gold, it’s enough for you to lose your family a few times. Whatever you want to do, this brother will help you. ”

Li Yannian thought that it was true. 100 gold coins, just selling it to the system was worth around 1 million yuan. Even if she spent it lying down, she would never be able to spend all of it. No wonder Black Bean was so calm when he saw his “extravagant” attitude.

The restaurant was about to open, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the end of March. He still had two more purchases this month that he should use up no matter what. Li Yannian searched the system using “Wholesale Rice” as the key word, but she was almost lost in the high price. What small Machinery Rice of Autumn Tian, Five Ordinary Rice, Meng Zhalong Fragrant Rice of Thailand? They cost around five to six dollars per catty to eat, and Li Yannian did not feel that it was expensive to eat them, but if it was steamed and sold in the shop, the price would not be worth it.

Fortunately, Li Yannian’s eyes lit up and saw the clear stream of rice on the first page. The Golden Anhui Immortal Farmer made 127 yuan and 50 kg, and even sent a mail, compared to other rice, the price was worth it.

This is it! Looking at the balance in his account, Li Yannian bought 60 servings, which was 3000 kilograms of rice. Along with the familiar exploding sound in the air, a pile of rice wrapped in a woven bag suddenly emerged from the room.

Li Yannian casually stored all the rice in the warehouse. Using silver as a benchmark, one gold coin was equivalent to two pieces of RMB, and eating three taels of silver was equivalent to two catties of rice. In the past when she was still in university, she only ate two or three servings of rice. Of course, compared to the appetite of the laborers, that small amount of rice was only enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. However, there were very few people who could eat two to three catties of rice at a time, right? From the cost, just by not exchanging it with the silver that was previously worth gold, Li Yannian would not lose out. Thus, she was very confident in her restaurant’s business.

When he finished buying the rice, the money in his account was gone, leaving only the pitiful few digits behind the decimal point. However, she didn’t touch the money she spent this month. She opened the system without any hesitation and typed in the words “Ceramic Bowl Big” into the search bar. She chose one with a special price and bought six six-inch bowls and six pairs of chopsticks. Li Yannian ignored everything and threw 20 sets of dishes into the shopping cart, after which he fought for many seconds, he picked out a pure white design from the recommended products below, and threw in 9 inch thick ceramic soup pots at the same time. He wanted 30 of them, and it only cost him 617 yuan.

If he were to buy all of these things in the town, he would probably need at least twenty silver coins to get them all in order.

Just as Li Yannian was secretly rejoicing over her astute shopping, that familiar gentle female voice slowly sounded out again, “Congratulations to the buyer for reaching two stars.”

Ah, upgraded? Li Yannian slapped her head, only then did she remember that she had completed the last transaction, which was the 11th transaction. Before this, she had still been struggling to decide whether or not to buy things first, in order to raise her credit. Earlier, she was in a hurry, so she had completely forgotten about this troublesome matter.
