Hot 90s Wife: The Mafia Boss Has A Goldmine - Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Promotion
He Xiao wouldn’t procrastinate on something he promised Chen Baiyi. After Chen Baiyi told him yesterday, he got someone to buy red bricks.
He pulled the bricks to Chen Baiyi’s doorstep early in the morning.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Who is it?”
Chen Baiyi was shocked to see He Xiao. He arrived so quickly?
As expected, He Xiao asked her to open the door and got someone to carry the bricks in.
“Thank you. How much does it cost?”
Chen Baiyi had earned some money from selling pig head meat two days ago. It might not be enough to pay for these bricks, but she still wanted to know how much it was. This way, she would at least have an idea.
He Xiao glanced at Chen Baiyi and ignored her.
Seeing that He Xiao was ignoring her, Chen Baiyi pursed her lips. If he didn’t want the money, so be it. She wanted to save some money anyway!
Building a wall was a huge project. Not to mention Chen Baiyi, but even He Xiao might not be able to finish it today. She had already troubled He Xiao a lot. Even if he wanted to help her, she would be too embarrassed to agree.
However, she had already thought of a way, so she let He Xiao leave.
“You don’t need my help?”
“No need. I’ve already hired someone to help
me.”
He Xiao left after hearing that.
After sending He Xiao and the others away, Chen Baiyi went to the village to look for help. After she returned from He Xiao’s place yesterday, she told the villagers in advance that she hoped they could help.

Seeing that it wasn’t easy for a young lady like her to live on her own, the villagers agreed.
Soon, Chen Baiyi’s house was filled with people. “Baiyi, how do you want to build this wall?”
“We’ll do whatever you want!”
“Thank you, everyone. I just want to build it higher and make this wall stronger.”
“No problem, leave it to us.”
Everyone was experienced at building walls. They knew what to do the moment they heard the request. After a few of them finished dividing the work, they began to build the wall with cement.
Chen Baiyi didn’t have any money on her, so she decided to cook a meal to thank the villagers. When they were building the wall, she went to prepare lunch.
With so many people around today, Chen Baiyi decided to show off her cooking skills. She planned to braise a pig head and let the villagers taste her cooking. Everyone worked together and finished building the wall before noon.
Chen Baiyi said to everyone gratefully, “Everyone must be tired. You all know my situation. I can’t pay you guys, so I can only cook a meal to reward everyone. Come to my place for lunch. I’m already done cooking. Please stay. Otherwise, I’ll feel bad.”
“What are you talking about? We came here willingly to help you. How can we ask for money? Since you’ve prepared it, we won’t let you down. Let’s stay here and eat. We can try your cooking as well.”
Knowing that it was a gesture of goodwill from Chen Baiyi, the slightly older person asked everyone to stay for the meal.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Chen Baiyi smiled and prepared to serve the dishes.
As everyone looked at the dishes Chen Baiyi brought out, they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. They had been working all morning and were already hungry. Before the dishes were even served, they started eating.
As they ate, they said, “Baiyi, I didn’t expect you to cook so well at such a young age. You’re simply a chef!”
“That’s right. These dishes are all very delicious, especially this one. It’s pork,
right?”
“Yes, this dish is pork, but it’s pig head meat. It’s good that you guys like it. I usually make it and sell it on the market. If you guys want to eat it, you can come and look for me there.”
Chen Baiyi looked at the dish they were praising. It happened to be braised pig head meat, so she took the opportunity to advertise
