Li Zhensheng thought for a moment and then said, "In the future, when you put another potted plant in Baihuaxiang, just one famous variety will do, and the rest can be replaced with ordinary ones. That way, it won't be too eye-catching. If someone wants to buy this famous variety, we can sell it."

Grandma Li thought this made sense, so she asked Tao Hongying, "What do you think, Hongying?"

Tao Hongying was extremely reluctant for her daughter to stand out, fearing that her daughter would be discovered to be different and face some danger.

But whether it's the Li family or her, they're both just ordinary people who toil in the fields.

They want to have enough to eat and wear, and for their family business to prosper, but they still have to rely on their daughter's abilities.

Her heart was constantly in suspense, sometimes happy, sometimes scared.

She thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection, but you must not let outsiders know where these flowers came from..."

“Of course!” Li Zhensheng nodded. “Fortunately, the Marquis gave Fu Niu’er an estate. That estate is the foundation of the Emperor and the Marquis’s maternal clan, and it is inherently mysterious. No one dares to inquire about it. With this estate as a cover, she is safe and sound.”

Grandma Li and Tao Hongying breathed a sigh of relief. Tao Hongying then said, "And these silver notes, I can't take them all. After all, the restaurant belongs to my elder brother, and the oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar are all supplied by the kitchen."

Li Zhensheng immediately refused, "No need. Although we used the restaurant's private room, it gave the restaurant a good reputation! Once the word gets out, the restaurant's business will definitely improve. That's enough!"

"No, you have to give it to me!" Tao Hongying insisted, unwilling to take advantage of the situation.

In the end, it was Old Madam Li who made the decision. "Listen to me, from now on, for a banquet costing one hundred taels, twenty taels will go to the restaurant, and if any seafood is used, they will pay the full price. The rest is for Hongying!"

"The money from selling flowers—the family doesn't want it, and you can't take it either—just give it to Fu Niu'er! She's grown up now, and if she wants to give her brothers a dowry, that's her way of showing kindness. If she doesn't give it, even if you throw it on the ground like pig manure, you can't stop her. It's her money, she can decide what to do with it; as long as she's happy!"

Li Zhensheng and Tao Hongying quickly nodded, "Okay, we'll do whatever Mother says!"

Jiayin hugged her grandmother's face and gave her a big kiss.

It's so great to have a grandma as a support!

She loves how assertive her grandma is!

Soon, Li Zhensheng and Tao Hongying went back to their work.

The old lady continued eating with her granddaughter, while her mind began to wander.

The Li family has four sons. The eldest son is not to be worried about; the restaurant and shops he took back from the Wang family will bring in a steady stream of money, and his life will definitely be good.

Although the second son doesn't have any businesses under his name, he has a noble title and two promising children, Jiaren and Jiayi, so there's nothing to worry about.

The fourth prince is a natural-born military talent. Now he is following the Marquis to fight on the battlefield. Although it is dangerous, his military merits will accumulate quickly. Perhaps in a few years he will be able to become a second or third-rank general.

Now Hongying has also started running a private kitchen, hosting one banquet every five days, or six banquets a month. By any calculation, she can earn around three hundred taels of silver.

Most importantly, there's our precious little girl, Fu Niu'er. She's practically the God of Wealth's daughter descended to earth; any little idea she comes up with can make money...

The only people she worried about, and felt indebted to, were her third son's family.

The third son is honest, hardworking, and quiet. Zhao Yuru is also filial, never competing or fighting, running a small food stall, and wholeheartedly taking care of the children who are studying.

The children left the academy at least five or six years later.

When they return home from Luoan town, they'll probably have left nothing behind.

After all, the shop was rented, and the small courtyard in the back wasn't worth much.

The only way to bring prosperity to their family is for Jia Huan to master the craft and open a restaurant in another prefecture...

Perhaps God heard the old lady's heartfelt wish, because in the evening, just as the old lady and Tao Hongying were about to take Jiayin home.

Several restaurant owners came over together to talk to Li Zhensheng.

They didn't dare covet the recipes for the private kitchen; they had only come to see the novelty of the rotating table after hearing about its amazing features.

Li Zhensheng was so shrewd; how could he let such a big fish slip by? He hurriedly sent his mother away and then "sharpened his knife for the fat sheep"!

Fearing they wouldn't be able to leave the city gates if they stayed any later, Old Lady Li and the others could only return home with a belly full of worries.

Nothing was said that night. The next day at noon, the old lady couldn't stand it any longer and was about to ask Ye Shan to go to the restaurant to inquire when Li Laosan actually returned.

With a look of fear and joy, he pulled his mother aside and said, "Mom, that table sold for money!"

The old lady beamed with joy and quickly replied, "That's great news!"

Li Laosan hugged his little niece tightly, wanting to say something but not knowing where to begin. In the end, he could only manage to stammer, "Give the money to Fu Niu'er!"

Jiayin smiled broadly, finding her third uncle so adorable!

"No, give it to Third Uncle! Third Uncle will be a landlord and grow vegetables for my brothers to eat!"

Grandma Li was still hesitant, but after hearing what her granddaughter said, her thoughts immediately became clear.

“Yes, Fu Niu’er is right!” She quickly pulled her third son into the house. Just then, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si heard the news and returned from the valley.

Grandma Li called Tao Hongying over, and the family had a little meeting.

"Third son, how much silver did you get for that table?" Old Mrs. Li asked first.

Li Laosan quickly pulled out the silver notes. "Mother, it's six hundred taels in total! My eldest brother sold the blueprints to six restaurant owners for one hundred taels each. They even agreed that no one is allowed to tell anyone else before spring."

Grandma Li nodded. These must be several restaurants trying to attract business with these novel tables.

She thought for a moment, then looked at the second and fourth sons and said, "This table was made by the third son because Fu Niu was naughty. Now that it's been sold for money, the third son wants to give the money to Fu Niu, but Fu Niu doesn't want it and wants the third son to buy land to grow vegetables."

"I was thinking that the shops in Luo'an are doing good business, and I have to buy vegetables every day, which is really not cost-effective. Why don't I buy a piece of land in Luo'an and grow my own vegetables? I can buy a bigger food shop later if I have the chance."

“We have Mr. Peng as our in-law, and we are also familiar with Dean Zhou. As long as the food is delicious and the price is reasonable, it’s not impossible to turn this food stall into the college’s canteen.”

"But the food shop and the land will be registered under the third brother's name. Of the money earned in the future, 20% will go to Fu Niu'er for pocket money, 20% will go to the public fund, and the rest will belong to the third brother's family."

Upon hearing this, Li Laosan became anxious. "No, Mother, it was Fu Niu who told me how to make the table. I only contributed some labor; I can't accept money!"

The old lady patted his arm and sighed, "Just keep it. To be honest, it's my fault. Of the four brothers, you were the most honest and dutiful. Now you're the worst in your branch of the family, and I'm worried about it."

This time, Fu Niu'er helped out and is willing to give you, her third uncle, a reward, so please don't refuse. Work hard in the future and earn more money; Fu Niu'er will always have money to earn too.”

Li Laosi and his wife quickly tried to persuade him, "Third Brother, don't refuse. Fu Niu'er is too young to be of much help, but a little pocket money each month is enough."

Li Lao Er also said, "We've all benefited a lot from Fu Niu'er's success. If you refuse, we'll lose face too. Let's be shameless and all rely on our little niece to make money together."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
