Lucky Carp Fukubao: Leading Her Whole Family to Prosperity

Wang family, at the west end of the village, lost an unlucky little girl. Xu family, at the east end of the village, picked up a girl named Fuman'er.

Everyone in the village said, "Th...

Chapter 182 Borrowing Money

That noon, Liu Fang was busy in the shop when she suddenly saw Liu Daneng and Wu Xiaohua standing at the door.

"Daneng, Xiaohua, what brings you here?" Liu Fang was still holding a bowl she had just cleared from the table.

"Sister, your restaurant is really busy." Wu Xiaohua walked in and looked around the restaurant.

"It's lunchtime now, and there are more people eating." Liu Fang didn't have time to chat with them. Just then, another customer called for more dishes, so Liu Fang told them and went to the kitchen.

Wu Xiaohua and Liu Daneng stood by the door, watching the diners come and go, feeling quite envious.

"Xiaohua, I was right, wasn't I? Big Sister's business is booming," Liu Daneng said in a low voice.

Ever since Liu Daneng overheard what the villagers were saying when the Xu family moved, he had been itching to tell them. As soon as he got back to the Liu family, he couldn't wait to tell them about it.

Grandma Liu and her family rarely came to town, so they had no idea how profitable a small restaurant could be. They didn't take Liu Daneng's words seriously.

That's why Liu Daneng brought Wu Xiaohua over. How can you know if you can make money if you don't see it for yourself?

This sight opened the eyes of the couple. For nearly two hours, every time someone left a seat in the small restaurant, someone else would immediately fill it.

The people who come to eat are people who work nearby. They are reluctant to spend money, so they usually just have a meal and a dish, or a bowl of braised noodles. They are basically regulars.

Another group consists of residents of the small town who have spare money but simply love Liu Fang's cooking. Since opening the shop recently, Liu Fang's culinary skills have improved considerably.

Moreover, she was a very studious person. There was a bookstore behind her family's restaurant with many cookbooks. Since she couldn't read, she asked Xu Genshan to read them to her.

But she has an exceptionally good memory. She can follow the steps to cook what she just heard, and the recipes cover cuisines from all over the country.

So don't be fooled by the fact that their restaurant is small; it offers a wide variety of dishes, and the owner uses high-quality ingredients, making it quite well-known in the town.

"Daneng, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, there's no place to sit in the front. Why don't you go and rest in the backyard?" This was the second time Xu Genshan had asked them to rest in the backyard.

But both of them refused. Now they looked at the people eating in the restaurant as if they were money, and they couldn't bear to leave even for a moment.

Xu Genshan was also busy, carrying a tray to serve dishes to the guests. A little while later, Xu Genshu, who was off duty at noon, arrived, followed by a man named Xie Ming.

This wasn't the first time the two of them had been there. As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, they saw several tables still with bowls and chopsticks left uncollected, and they spontaneously helped to clear them away.

"Be careful not to get your clothes dirty," Xu Genshan reminded them. They had to go to the yamen for their shifts after lunch, and dirty clothes would be a disgrace.

"Sigh." Xu Genshu responded and he and Xie Ming cleaned up the remaining bowls and chopsticks on the table.

With their help, the tidying up was almost done. When they returned to the lobby, Xie Ming said, "The restaurant is doing so well, Brother Xu and the others should find someone to help out."

Xu Genshu nodded and casually refilled the chopsticks in the chopstick holder. "My sister-in-law said she's been keeping an eye out these past few days and asked me to write them a job posting and stick it on the door."

Business is good, but people can't keep up. In such a short time, Xu Genshan and his wife have both lost a lot of weight. Not to mention anything else, even washing dishes is not easy.

Xu's restaurant bought two more batches of bowls and chopsticks because sometimes they were too busy to wash them, and they didn't have enough.

As the two were talking, someone suddenly leaned over and said, "Does this little restaurant really have to pay people to do the work?"

Xie Ming was startled. "Hey, what are you doing?" He wouldn't have been frightened if the person speaking hadn't been so close.

Xu Genshu turned his head and looked over. Wasn't this his sister-in-law's younger brother and sister-in-law? "My sister-in-law?"

He was younger than Liu Daneng, and he addressed the couple as his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Wu Xiaohua chuckled and asked again, "What you just said was true, my older sister and brother-in-law really want to pay someone to do things?"

She was standing far away and couldn't hear very clearly, so she came over to ask for clarification. Liu Daneng also came over, looking at the two of them with curiosity.

Hearing Wu Xiaohua's address, Xie Ming roughly guessed who they were. However, this was a family matter of the Xu family, and now was not the time for him to speak. So he looked up and down, clearly indicating that it was none of his business and he would not answer.

Xu Genshan knew that Liu Fang's relationship with her family wasn't very good, but of course, he wouldn't say anything too offensive. He simply said that he wasn't very clear about Xu Genshan and his family's plans.

Before Wu Xiaohua could ask anything more, Xu Genshan and Liu Fang came out of the kitchen carrying dishes. "Come and eat."

Every day, the kitchen makes whatever it has, so the couple eats relatively simply. But today, with so many guests coming, Liu Fang still prepared a large portion of delicious food.

As soon as Wu Xiaohua and Liu Daneng sat down, they started swallowing hard. Actually, they had been drooling while watching others eat. It wasn't that they hadn't eaten in the morning; they just felt hungry again from the aroma of the food.

"Big sister, you live such a good life. You make such a big plate of braised pork."

"And there's chicken meat too. Is this a whole chicken? There's so much."

The couple didn't need Liu Fang to invite them; they picked up their chopsticks and started eating on their own. After all, it wasn't easy to get so much meat at the Liu family's house.

Basically, it's only during holidays and festivals, and it's not even half the size of what's here.

"There's not much food left in the kitchen, so please make do with what you have." Liu Fang's words were naturally just polite; if she agreed, it would make her seem like she was showing off.

Wu Xiaohua stuffed a large piece of braised pork into her mouth. If she had known she could eat such good food, she would have brought her son along. If she had left him at home, he would probably have been eating boiled potatoes and corn grits again.

It seems that only Liu Daneng and his wife enjoyed the meal. Xu Genshu and Xie Ming just ate without saying a word because Liu Daneng and Wu Xiaohua kept asking about the restaurant.

The relentless questioning drove Liu Fang to the point of exhaustion several times, but she couldn't show her brother and sister-in-law any displeasure in front of others, so she could only brush them off or change the subject.

As soon as they finished eating, Xie Ming and Xu Genshu helped clear the table. Liu Daneng and Wu Xiaohua, with their bellies bulging, leaned back in their chairs like old men, not moving an inch.

"Brother, sister-in-law, we're leaving now." Xu Genshu and his sister left shortly after.

TaDu Xiaoshuo. >Say—*.—Free*No ads*>>No pop-ups, and>>-.*You can also interact with fellow book lovers>@.

There wasn't much left in the restaurant by then. Liu Daneng reached out and nudged Wu Xiaohua's hand, gesturing to her with his eyes. Wu Xiaohua frowned and gestured towards Liu Fang with her lips.

Liu Fang noticed all their little actions. These two people had come to her for no reason, so they must have something to ask her.

After dawdling for a while, Liu Daneng came over first, "Sister."

This time, the way she addressed me as "sister" wasn't as casual as usual; instead, it carried a hint of ingratiation.

Liu Fang glanced at her, "Hmm?" This indifferent attitude made Liu Daneng unable to utter the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"What a spineless bastard," Wu Xiaohua cursed silently in her heart, and walked up to her. "Sister, it's like this, today Da Neng and I have something to ask you for help with."

Liu Fang looked up at the couple. They were both smiling, but she felt that there was no sincerity in their smiles.

"I don't have any special skills, and I'm afraid I can't help you." No matter what their request was, Liu Fang's first reaction was to refuse.

Wu Xiaohua pretended not to understand what she meant, and instead affectionately took Liu Fang's arm, saying, "Sister is joking. If you can't help, who can? This is a piece of cake for you."

"Sister, you can definitely help," Liu Daneng added from behind.

"Tell me what it is first," Liu Fang still didn't agree immediately.

"Sister," Wu Xiaohua greeted her warmly before speaking, "Look, it's winter now, and there's not much work to do in the fields. Da Neng and I have nothing to do at home, so we were thinking of going to town to do some small business."

“Now that Fu’er is growing up, he will soon be going to school, getting married and having children. We, as parents, should take advantage of our youth and make some money first.”

"But as you know, we don't have much money at home. If we want to start a small business, we'll definitely need some capital."

"So, we've come here to ask you for help, Sister. This is a small matter for you."

Liu Fang realized that these two people had come to borrow money from her, but she was kidding. Since when has borrowing money been a trivial matter for her?

Did she earn her money easily? Did it fall from the sky? Or was it picked up from the ground?
