When Ji Yu and his friends arrived at Li's house, Old Mrs. Zhao had already prepared dinner.

After several people sat down at the table, Ji Yu saw another person from the Zhao family, Sister Li’s sister-in-law.

Ji Yu looked at her sister-in-law who kept her head down and didn't speak. She even needed someone to coax her when eating.

Ji Yu asked somewhat presumptuously: "What is this?"

Old Mrs. Zhao shook her head and sighed, "The doctor said that it was because he was born unwilling to communicate with others. It's called something called self-destruction."

Ji Yu quickly replied, "Autism?"

The old lady nodded quickly: "It's autism, this disease can't be cured."

During the dinner, Ji Yu chatted with the two and learned that Mrs. Zhao's husband died when she was young. She, an orphan and a widow, raised her son and daughter with great difficulty, but her son also died in an accident a few years ago.

Now they are the only orphans and widows left in the family, and their daily expenses mainly depend on the rent and Sister Li Ying's salary.

After hearing this, Ji Yu immediately expressed his admiration: "It's rare to find a good daughter-in-law like Sister Li Ying."

Talking about herself, Li Ying drank two glasses of wine and cried: "Back then, my parents wanted to sell me as a bachelor to exchange for a dowry for my brother. Daming paid for it, and my mother treated me with great kindness after I returned home. I am a member of the Zhao family in this life, and I will be a ghost of the Zhao family in death."

"I met you on the train this time. My parents pretended to be sick to trick me into going back, and wanted to sell me out for the second time. If I hadn't been smart enough to run away with Xiaobao overnight, the consequences would have been really..."

Speaking of this, Ji Yu couldn't help but be moved. He didn't expect that Sister Li, who was so loyal and righteous, had such a pitiful past.

Chaochao seemed to think of herself when she heard her elder sister's story, and tears began to fall.

Ji Yu quickly said, "Big sister, we are neighbors from now on. If you need any help, just ask. I will do my best to help if I can."

Sister Li Ying waved her hands and said, "How can you, a student, help me? It's not easy for you to be away from home with your wife. We can get by now."

Ji Yu asked again: "I want to buy a big oven, do you know where I can find one nearby?"

Sister Li thought for a moment and said, "There's a street behind where I work that sells electrical appliances. Maybe I can get it for you. Do you want to make bread?"

Ji Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I saw there was no bakery nearby, so I thought about opening a bakery."

After dinner, Li Dajia took the two of them to a store specializing in selling electrical appliances.

When the shop owner heard that Ji Yu wanted to buy a two-layer oven, he quickly said, "You need to wait about a week, and the price is a bit expensive."

Ji Yu also understood that electrical appliances were in short supply these days and were hard to come by. The boss only said he would have to wait a week or two, so Ji Yu could definitely wait.

"Sure. What's the approximate price range?"

Hearing Ji Yu's question, the boss raised four fingers and said, "At least four hundred."

Four hundred yuan is equivalent to a year's salary for college students in second-tier cities. But Ji Yu still nodded and handed the boss two hundred yuan.

"This is the deposit. I'll give you the rest of the money when the goods arrive."

The boss took the money with a smile and said, "Little brother, you are very happy to work. Don't worry, since you are brought by Sister Li Ying, I will earn hard-earned money and will definitely not cheat you."

Ji Yu hurriedly thanked him.

After leaving the electrical appliance store, Sister Li Ying went straight to work, while Ji Yu took Shen Chaochao for a walk around the neighborhood.

Over the next week, Ji Yu found a few people to do some minor renovations to the store.

I took Chao Chao around the capital, from the Forbidden City to the Great Wall, from gardens to theaters, and bought all the delicious food.

But Shen Chaochao's favorability was stuck at 80 and had not moved.

Soon, the owner of the electrical appliance store brought the oven to Ji Yu in the store.

The oven was bought second-hand from a foreigner for 350 yuan. The boss asked for 10 yuan more for labor costs, so Ji Yu finally added 160 yuan and bought the boss a pack of cigarettes.

With the shop sign hung up, the shop looks somewhat presentable.

Ji Yu looked at the clean shop and said, "Chao Chao, I will teach you how to make bread tonight!"

Shen Chaozhao nodded obediently.

During this period, Ji Yu also inquired about the prices in major department stores.

The honey buns sold in the mall outside were 90 cents per pound, and Ji Yu planned to set the price at 80 cents per pound. After factoring in the cost of food, he could make 40 cents per pound of buns.

There are twelve small honey buns in a pound, and each one costs ten cents. I think some children nearby will buy them.

If sales are normal, after deducting the water, electricity and rent for a month, it should be a steady profit.

Ji Yu taught Shen Chaochao how to make honey buns. She learned very quickly, and even the taste of the bread she baked was not bad at all.

Ji Yu also taught her how to make toast, croissants, red bean buns, and honey cakes. Shen Chaochao still learned very quickly.

Ji Yu began to suspect that Shen Chaochao was a veteran.

After watching Shen Chaochao's skilled technique, Ji Yu couldn't help but praise him: "Chaochao is really amazing. I was worried that you would need to learn for a while, but now it seems that you can open your business directly."

Ji Yu gave some bread to Sister Li Ying, and met Zhao Jiaojiao on the way back.

Zhao Jiaojiao followed the two men silently, as if she was not disgusted by them at all.

On the opening day, there were not many customers, except for tourists and children who bought a little. The elderly are not used to these foreign things.

Fortunately, school is about to start, and when there are more students, the customer flow will naturally increase.

On the first day of school, Ji Yu wanted Shen Chaochao to report with him.

Shen Chaochao was reluctant to close the store and lose customers, so in the end, after Ji Yu's constant persuasion, she went with Ji Yu.

I'd just trouble Sister Li to help look after the store. The two of them will report and pay the tuition and come back, so it shouldn't take much time.
