"Old Xia, Qiaoqiao, we didn't make enough to sell today. Mom and I are discussing making more tomorrow," Yang Jianguo said enthusiastically after everyone sat down.

“Yes, Qiaoqiao, tomorrow we’ll make fifty ducks, a hundred catties of duck products. With so many people here today, we’re sure to sell them all.” Lin Xiaohui was also extremely excited.

She never imagined that her duck products would be so popular.

Their home is in Yangjia Village, which is backed by mountains and has a small river in front, making it a very suitable environment for raising ducks.

The people of Huanglin Village have been raising ducks for generations.

Back when we ate in the village communal kitchens, the village would always slaughter ducks for a special treat.

Because of her good cooking skills, she helped out in the catering team. Since no one else was willing to handle the duck parts, she secretly picked them up, processed them, and cooked them for her family.

I gradually learned some tricks of the trade in making duck products.

But I never imagined that one day I could make money with this skill.

"Mr. Xia, do you think we should make more tomorrow?" Jiang Qiaoqiao asked Xia Yuntao.

Yang Jianguo and Lin Xiaohui looked at Xia Yuntao with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

They knew that Xia Yuntao had provided all the funds to open the store, but he only owned half of the shares, giving them the other half. They felt not only gratitude towards Xia Yuntao, but also respect for him.

Xia Yuntao smiled, took a sip of his wine, and waved his hand, saying, "Qiaoqiao, don't test me with this question. I've said it before, I'll only provide the money to open the shop and then wait for the dividends. How you run this business is none of my concern."

Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled at Lin Xiaohui and Yang Jianguo, "Mom, what I mean is, let's not increase the quantity tomorrow. Let's just make this much duck and duck products as we do today. But we can prepare more vegetables."

"Mom's vegetarian braised dishes are not only delicious, but the vegetables are also cheap. Tomorrow we'll line up to buy duck and duck products just like today, but those who don't get any will get a free bag of vegetables. We don't give out a lot of vegetables, but if you have a large family and it's not enough, you can buy some."

"Qiaoqiao's idea is good." Huo Beixiao rarely spoke up. "The ducks and duck products are limited in supply every day, so there will be people who haven't been able to buy them and will be thinking about it every day. If those who don't buy them in line get free vegetables, people who don't want to buy them but want to take advantage of the deal will line up, and the store will become more popular."

Once you gain popularity, you won't have to worry about selling your goods.

Although Lin Xiaohui and Yang Jianguo didn't know much about business, Huo Beixiao explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and they both agreed.

Jiang Qiaoqiao then raised her glass and said, "To celebrate the great success of Yang Benya's opening day, let's raise a glass together."

Huo Beixiao looked at the small wine glass that Jiang Qiaoqiao raised, and a smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Qiaoqiao never drank alcohol before, but she was different today.

At this moment, Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes were full of smiles, and her smiling face seemed to be glowing, making it hard to look away.

Jiang Qiaoqiao is indeed happy today.

This was the happiest day she had experienced since leaving Yangjia Village in both her previous and current lives.

The only downside to such a happy day is that Dad isn't here.

When they finished eating, Jiang Qiaoqiao was already a little tipsy. She smiled foolishly at Lin Xiaohui and Yang Jianguo and said, "Mom, brother, when we open a branch, let's persuade Dad to come to the city too, so our family can be reunited."

"Okay!" Yang Jianguo, who was also a little drunk, responded with great enthusiasm.

Lin Xiaohui chuckled and tapped the brother and sister on the head. "Only you two dare to dream like that. Our store has only just opened, and we haven't even made any money to share with Old Master Xia yet, and you're already thinking about opening a branch."

After drinking, Huo Beixiao stared intently at Jiang Qiaoqiao, his eyes lingering on her for a long time.

Mr. Xia sat down next to him and said, "Young man, if you like something, be brave. Don't wait until you miss out to regret it."

Huo Beixiao turned to look at Mr. Xia.

Xia Yuntao patted his shoulder and laughed, "If I couldn't even tell that you and that girl Qiaoqiao aren't really husband and wife, wouldn't I have wasted most of my life?"

After discussing tomorrow's plans with Lin Xiaohui and Yang Jianguo, Jiang Qiaoqiao got up to go home and rest.

Unexpectedly, the few drinks I just had have made me a little tipsy.

She had just stood up when she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

In her previous life, she drank herself into a stomach hemorrhage at a business dinner, and the alcohol tolerance she developed didn't automatically come with her after her rebirth.

Huo Beixiao quickly steadied her, "Qiaoqiao, be careful."

Lin Xiaohui and Yang Jianguo also stood up nervously.

"Mom, Big Brother, you both worked hard getting up early to prepare today. You should rest for a while. I'll take Qiaoqiao home first."

As Huo Beixiao spoke, he put one arm around Jiang Qiaoqiao's waist and picked her up in his arms.

Jiang Qiaoqiao felt dizzy.

She stared wide-eyed at Huo Beixiao's clear and defined jawline, then frowned slightly, a little slow to react, and asked, "Huo Beixiao, are you going to hug me?"

Huo Beixiao felt his heart skip a beat, and his arms around her tightened involuntarily. "Yeah, you're drunk."

Jiang Qiaoqiao pouted and shook her head vigorously, "No, I'm not drunk!"

Huo Beixiao placed her on the crossbar in front of the tricycle, holding the handlebars with one hand and protecting her with the other.

Jiang Qiaoqiao's almond-shaped eyes were unusually moist and bright because of the alcohol. She blinked and looked at Huo Beixiao, "Huo Beixiao, you hugged me today, do you have feelings for me?"

Huo Beixiao: ...

In an instant, all the muscles in his body tensed up.

But Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't need his answer. She ran her small hand over his abs and counted, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."

"Wait, that's strange, you have eight-pack abs."

Hmm, I'm looking forward to wearing an Adam's apple with a tie.

Hey, my brother is my type...

Jiang Qiaoqiao swayed her small body as she sang in a low voice.

Huo Beixiao felt as if a small deer was trapped in his chest, almost jumping out of his chest cavity.

He rode the tricycle back to the family compound as fast as he could.

After carrying Jiang Qiaoqiao into the house, he closed the door behind him.

Fortunately, because of Zheng Yulan's divorce, Aunt Zhao stopped going to the banyan tree during this time. Everyone was taking a lunch break, and there weren't many people under the banyan tree.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of stories would be made up about Huo Beixiao's appearance.

"Hehe!" Jiang Qiaoqiao was picked up by Huo Beixiao again, and she gave him another silly smile.

She had already finished singing, and her restless little hand pinched Huo Beixiao's abs. "Hehe, they feel pretty good to pinch..."

At this moment, Huo Beixiao had already placed Jiang Qiaoqiao on the bed in the inner room.

His already deep eyes became even more intense at this moment.

The next instant, he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his broad shoulders, narrow waist, muscular chest, and firm abs.

He even placed Jiang Qiaoqiao's small hand on his abs, his voice slightly hoarse, "If it feels good, squeeze it a little longer..."
