Chapter 297 Hot Stew

Jiang Xinbai was stunned. "Second sister, are you saying that you buy a house first and then sell it?"

Jiang Xinlan nodded and replied: "Yes, just like Chen Chao, making a profit from the price difference."

"Then why do you think the price of houses will definitely go up? What if it goes down?"

"Pah, what nonsense are you talking about! Look at your rent, it has been rising all the time, how can the house price not rise?"

Jiang Xinlan has asked around. Hasn't she seen that those working in real estate are all rich people? With such a huge demand for houses, there must be money to be made.

"But you never thought that this house is very expensive. You invested so much money in it and you won't be able to get your money back in a short time!"

"Yeah, that's true." Jiang Xinlan was suddenly deflated. A set of meals would cost more than 100,000 yuan. Although she had the money, she was still a little worried.

Jiang Xinbai glanced at her and said with a smile, "That's right, where did you get so much advantage?"

"Well, then what do you think your brother-in-law and I should do? We can't just sit back and enjoy all the savings!" Jiang Xinlan was also a little worried. Well, Shenzhen is good, but the expenses are also higher than in my hometown.

"Well, let me think about it! Jinsheng's eldest and second nieces set up stalls at the night market, selling hairpins, earrings, necklaces and other things that little girls like. Their business is pretty good. I heard from them that they can make more than a hundred dollars a night at most. Of course, there are times when business is not good, but at the end of the month they can basically make more than three thousand. If we split it between the two of us, each of us can make fifteen or sixteen thousand. It's much better than going to work, and it's just a little harder at night, but you can do whatever you want during the day!"

Speaking of Yang Jiazhen and Yang Lili, Jiang Xinbai really admires them. You have to know that they are not the only ones selling hairpins and necklaces in the whole night market, so why do they have the best business? One reason is that they can talk, and of course the most important thing is that they can also match customers and know what kind of people are suitable for what. Yang Jiazhen, who worked in a department store, has the most experience in this.

"Wow, that's really great. Zhenzhen and Lili are really capable."

"That's right. My eldest sister-in-law even called me to thank me for taking care of Zhenzhen. Well, I didn't help much. Even the place they live in is the house of my third brother."

Although Jiang Xinbai said that he didn't do anything, he was satisfied in his heart. His sister-in-law understood the ways of the world better than when she was young as she got older.

"What about your second sister-in-law Su Qiuyan?"

"Her!" Jiang Xinbai curled his lips, "It's good that she doesn't cause trouble. I'm too lazy to hear her voice!"

Jiang Xinlan nodded in understanding, glanced at her sister, and whispered, "Before I came here, I heard that Su Qiuyan was planning to find a partner for Lili, saying that she was going to be a live-in son-in-law. What do you think happened?"

"Is it true? Lili is so far away now, can she still call her back? That's right, there is nothing that Su Qiuyan can't do, but I can't control this matter, after all, they are mother and daughter."

Jiang Xinbai thought that since Lili didn't say anything, she would just pretend she didn't know and not meddle in other people's business.

"I'm just letting you know. You and Su Qiuyan don't have a good relationship, so you don't need to worry about some things."

"Well, I understand your concerns. By the way, sister, I thought of what you did."

"What? Tell me." Jiang Xinlan asked quickly.

"Jinsheng and I went to the city to buy clothes last week. After that, we just wandered around. Then, when we passed a small alley, we smelled a very nice smell. Guess what they were selling?" Jiang Xinbai asked with a smile.

"What to eat? Hey, just tell me now, you are keeping me in suspense!"

"Hey, look how anxious you are, I saw a young girl selling some braised food, but what she was braising wasn't chicken or duck, but chicken feet, duck heads, duck intestines and other leftovers. I saw there were quite a lot of people around, so I bought some of each to try. But, it smelled really good, but the taste was just average. I think your cooking skills should make it better than hers, and most importantly, leftovers are cheap! You see, we also have roasted chicken feet in our barbecue restaurant, they are all frozen, very cheap."

"Braised food! Yes, people may not be able to afford real chicken and duck because they think it's too expensive, but leftovers are cheap, so it should be okay." Jiang Xinlan thought silently in her heart.

"Yes, I saw that young girl also made potato chips, cauliflower, kelp and other things and put them in. They are also very tasty."

"It's good, but I don't know what it tastes like. How can I replicate it?" Jiang Xinlan thought that although her sister's dish tasted average, it sold so well that there must be a secret recipe. She had never tasted it, so she naturally had no idea where to start.

"That's easy. I can just take you there."

"Your store is busy, just tell me the address and your brother-in-law and I will go there."

"Alright,"

A week later, Jiang Xinbai had just opened the door when Jiang Xinlan arrived. She was holding a lunch box in her hand and said to Jiang Xinbai with a smile, "Xiaobai, look what goodies I brought you?"

"What? Second sister, you got up so early today!" Jiang Xinbai took the lunch box from her sister, opened it and smiled, "Second sister, did you and your brother-in-law go to buy stewed food again? Hmm? No, this one looks brighter in color, and it smells much better. Sister, where did you buy this from?"

Jiang Xinlan smiled proudly, "I didn't buy it, I made it myself."

"You made it yourself? Then I'd like to try it." Jiang Xinbai said as he pulled a chair and sat down, then reached out and took a chicken claw from the lunch box and started to eat it. As soon as he took a bite, Jiang Xinbai knew that his second sister had put a lot of effort into it.

"Second sister, it's delicious, better than the one sold by that young girl. How did you make it?" Jiang Xinbai looked at his second sister curiously.

Jiang Xinlan smiled slightly, pointed to the chicken claw with one nail missing from the lunch box, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, try this one and see which one tastes better."

Jiang Xinbai followed her instructions and took a bite of another chicken claw. As soon as she put it in her mouth, she could feel the slight spiciness, which was within the acceptable range. "Second sister, this is spicy!"

Jiang Xinlan nodded and explained with a smile: "I originally wanted to make it non-spicy, but then when I went to the night market, I found that many stalls allowed you to add chili peppers yourself. I think many people like spicy food, so I made two kinds. Which one do you think tastes better?"

Jiang Xinbai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Both are delicious, so you can make two! But, Second Sister, how are you going to take them over?"

Jiang Xinlan was confused by the question, "How do you bring it over? Just like that girl, I'll prepare a small cart and start."

"No, no, second sister, I think you need to upgrade. Buy a tricycle, modify it, put a pot inside, and make it a double-flavored pot, with half spicy soup and half non-spicy soup. If you like to eat cold food like chicken feet and duck legs, just take them away. Put the vegetarian dishes in the pot and cook them. If you like spicy food, put them in the spicy pot, and if you don't like spicy food, put them in the non-spicy pot."

Jiang Xinlan's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Oh, that's right. This way I don't have to stew two flavors. If someone still thinks it's not enough, I'll make some chili oil and mix it in. What do we call it then?"

"Hmm? Just call her Sister Jiang or Sister Lan!"
